What the hell?
I blinked several times trying to focus, but my head…
It felt so light… like feathers floating in the wind on a gentle breeze.
My mouth and throat now felt dry and like I couldn’t move my lips.
“Millicent, what is…”
Millicent started crying. “I’m so sorry, Amelia, I’m so sorry.”
Even though I was looking at her and she was talking, I didn’t know what she was saying sorry for.
It was foolish… oh so foolish.Trust.
It was foolish, because really, in the end, the only person you can trust is yourself.
When the door opened again and Tag walked in smiling, I started to shake. I willed my body to move, but I couldn’t feel my legs.
Tag…
Millicent…
Tag…
Millicent… the milk… the cookies.
“You look so much like your mother.” Tag beamed, lowering to cup my face. “Eloise… it’s like I’m looking at you all over again.”
I glanced at Millicent feeling the tears run down my cheeks. “Millicent? It was you. You did this.”
Those were the last words that slipped through my mouth before the darkness took me and my eyes rolled back in my head.

I’d resulted to my lowest.
I didn’t care who I had to kill anymore to get information.
The situation had just become next level bad, and I couldn’t sit around waiting.
No way.
No fucking way.
So, what did I do? Or rather, we…
While my other guys were searching the streets, Claudius, myself, Saul, and The Four headed to the home of the Fontaines. They were the highest up on the order of crime families who wanted to end the Rossis.
The plan was to try them first, then the next in line. The Salvatores. We were going to our enemies, jumping straight into enemy territory on dangerous grounds that could get us killed on sight.
For who they were, they didn’t have much protection at the door, but then again, maybe they were relying on who they were to keep people out.
We shot the lock off the front door and kicked it wide open.
