“Okay. We’ll find Robyn and Lia, don’t worry. Marco, I need you to put your ear to the ground, call around to the guys we have on the streets and see if you hear anything. Izzy, I need you and Alec to get online and do that freaky shit you do to see if you can dredge anything up. Enzo, me and you are gonna go back to Dad’s with him and start going over whoever could be behind this.”

“Shit, I didn’t even think about Lia in all this, Robyn will fucking kill me if she gets hurt.”

“If you weren’t thinking about Lia, then why did you say someone’s takenthem?”Izzy asks.

Fuck. Guess they kinda need to know considering the circumstances.

“Robyn’s pregnant.”

Chapter Forty-Four

Robyn

My head throbs as my lashes flutter open. The last thing I remember was talking to Lia in the bathroom at the restaurant before something was placed over my head and I felt a prick in my neck. I remember hearing Lia arguing with someone as I was dragged from the bathroom then I tried to press the panic button on the watch that Enzo gave me, but after that, everything is blank.

What the hell happened?

I blink a couple of times to clear my vision, not recognizing the room I’m in. It seems to be a bedroom, though I don’t recognize it. There’s only a mattress that I’m lying on, and no other furniture inside. I glance down and let out a breath of relief when I note my clothes being in place, though I still have no freaking idea what the hell is going on.

“Hello?” I croak.

Nothing. I’m met with nothing but silence.

I shift and try to stand, but it’s only then that I realize the arm I’ve been lying on is chained to the wall. Panic claws up my throat as tears spring to my eyes. I don’t know why I’m here, or how I gothere, but I do know my husband will be going out of his goddamn mind with panic.

I shift again, trying to use my free hand to press the panic button again, in case it never worked the first time. Only my wrist is watch free, and all hope I was beginning to feel fades away, leaving me with nothing but dread.

I have no doubt that he’ll do everything he can to try and find me, but whether I’ll still be alive by that point is the thing that guts me. If Enzo loses me, if he losesus, he’ll never survive. If we die, he’ll die too. So I guess I’m just gonna have to do everything I can to stay alive until he gets here, because I’m not letting the man I love more than anything in this world die from the pain of losing us.

I try to think back to the last thing I remember, though it’s all a blur. I remember Lia grilling me about the Romano’s, then… nothing.

My breathing stutters when I think about my best friend. Is she okay? Did they take her too? Or did they leave her. Did they hurt her? Is she even still alive? The thought of something happening to my best friend because of me… nope. I can’t go there.

I don’t know why anyone would want to take me. As far as I’m aware, no one is actively targeting my new family right now, and Enzo told me he “took care” of the gang that was threatening me. So, who the hell would come after me?

Nothing makes sense, and whatever drugs they gave me are making my head swim. Distorted memories flitting in and out asI try to piece together the facts, memories of muffled voices stab through the fog, just out of reach.

My eyelids droop as I glance around the room, right before everything fades to black once more.

Chapter Forty-Five

Enzo

Ascream pierces the air as the bullet leaves the chamber.

On one side of the room, eight wide eyes stare back at me.

On the other side is my family. Well, there’s Dad, Luca, Izzy and Alec. Marco left to go see if any whispers have been heard by anyone we have on the streets and to try and figure out if this has anything to do with the other organizations and we sent Jax away to his club.

Arcane is the most popular club in the city and sees a lot of different types of people. One good thing about Jax running the place is people tend to be loose lipped after a couple of drinks and if there’s anyone who knows something while there, Jax will get it out of them one way or another.

I stare blankly at the body lying at my feet. After I pulled myself together in the alley, I stormed my way back inside and rounded up all the staff members into the kitchen while Izzy had all the customers leave with the promise of us covering the bill.

This would be so much fucking easier if we were at one of our family’s restaurants, but unfortunately Alec couldn’t have predicted this shit.

But I should have.

I should have known things were too good to be true.
