“I have only ever brought one person here.” The sound of my brothers voice rouses me from my daydream. I push off the tree I was leaning against and peer around it to see him and London sitting at the end of the wooden dock. The fucking thing is so rickety and looks like it’s going to break.

“Who was she?” London asks, I creep closer so I can hear them better.

“Who said it was a she?”

She looks over at him and pushes her lips to the sides. “There is always a she, only a woman can have a man sitting out here in the middle of nowhere all up in his feels.”

“Her name was Aida.” Holy fuck, is he going to tell her? Cronos has never told anyone this story, not even our brothers. I was forced to give them the cliff note version. “She was fucking beautiful, too beautiful for this world. She was pure and innocent, fuck she was so radiant that each time she walked into a room you couldn’t help but stare. Every time I saw her she would steal the air from my lungs. I remember the first time she spoke to me I couldn’t even form a sentence or string two words together, she was my angel.” Jealousy rears its ugly head inside me when she moves toward him and they hold each other but when he places a kiss to the top of her head, it takes everything inside me to keep still and not march down and punch his teeth down his throat.

“It sounds like you loved her very much.”

“I’ve never stopped loving her, Lon.” My anger eases at his declaration.

“What happened to Aida, Nos?” she asks.

“I was going through the trials with Artemis, we were neck and neck through the whole thing but on the knowledge challenge I managed to best him and won which meant he needed to complete the final trial without a single mistake in order to take over for Costa. The final trial is the one that separates the men from the boys the Godfathers say, but the truth is, it’s for the sick and blackened hearted bastards.” Shame washes over me.

“What’s the final trial?”

Tension riddles me as I pray for him to keep his mouth shut and not tell her. “If Artemis completed the final trial, he would take over but what I didn’t know at the time was if he won, I would die. Costa knew Artemis couldn’t kill me so he made sure that neither of us would win the trials and used Aida to do that. I was forced to watch… they fucking brutalized her and destroyed the most beautiful thing I had ever seen in this world. When it was all over, I took her out of there and tried to fix my fuck up but I knew the moment we left that room that her soul died in there and only her body left with me. She killed herself two days later.
