My stomach drags me downstairs early this morning for breakfast. It’s got to be from all the extra added workouts. Maxim, Worm and I have been spending hours in the gym. I smile as I think back to what they said, they were both shocked about how well I’ve been trained.

I probably can’t beat either one of them, if they would actually fight me, but it would be really close. Maxim is really good, better than Worm. I’m not sure who’s better out of him or Jax.

Martha, Worm and Maxim sit around the island with me as we each eat breakfast. Martha and Worm discuss stories from Maxim’s childhood. Some of them are really funny and have me in tears. Maxim does occasionally break out a smile.

After breakfast, Maxim and Worm escort me over to the library. At first I thought they were going to hang out with me, but they’re just making sure I’m in a safe area while they leave. Apparently there’s a big meeting with two other families that are in the Mafia. I’m not sure which families, I just hope it’s not the Mexicans, I can’t stand Cruz.

Maxim pulls me close and gives me a lasting kiss goodbye before Worm snickers and heads out the door. They both leave me alone and unattended. I’m not planning an escape during the day. I know I’ll never make it. But, I am grateful for the quiet time in the library.

I browse through the different selections. Maxim has amassed a huge amount of books. I find a few that I’m really interested in and take them over to the recliner right in front of the tall fireplace. I really need to have somebody start this thing. It would be freaking cool.

If one book doesn’t catch me at the beginning, then one of the other ones should. I finally settle on the second book I grabbed which is a psychological thriller. I spend the next few hours reading until my bladder reminds me I haven’t used the bathroom for a while.

I leave the library and head towards the bathroom. I cringe with disgust as I pass the area that Troy had grabbed me. I can’t stand that creep. No one else is around, it’s very quiet and relaxing.

Right as I open the door to the bathroom, my back is pushed hard, slamming me inside. I’m able to reach out and grab the corner of the sink before I fall flat on my ass. I jump up quickly, somebody’s gonna pay for this.

I’m about ready to go after the guy as he mumbles, “you are the light that sparkles from the stars. You are the sun that chases away the dark.”

I stop dead in my tracks. I had lunged for him right when he started talking. My eyes fill up with tears right before they spillover. He smiles, he knows that he’s convinced me.

“How,” I need answers and I need them now before I fall apart.

“Your brothers were able to get me in.
