He messed with the wrong people.

When I don’t offer him anything else, he leaves the room. His sons glare at him the whole way.

“What if Lily can’t handle it?” Antonio asks, looking worried.

I shake my head. “You guys are in for a surprise. Just sit back and wait. You will see. My Lily can handle anything.”

A cough takes me so hard that I start throwing up.

“Hopefully it’s in time to get you to the hospital,” Switch says, voicing his worries.

“I’ll stay with it as long as I can,” I tell them between gags.

Nick “Switch”

Watching my Prez throw up and not being able to do anything about it is hard as fuck.

I missed home all these years, but him being here made the longing stronger. I hate that my life was taken away from me. I thought for sure I was dead when Rebecca had shot me. I felt the blood pour out. When I closed my eyes, I thought it was for the last time.

Imagine my surprise when I woke and found myself in this room bandaged up. I couldn’t speak for months. My voice will never be the same.

I hate that my girl had to grow up without the club with her. I’m glad as fuck that she had found her way back to them.

It fucking kills me to know that she had babies, and I wasn’t there to help her through it. It crushed me that they don’t know their papa.

I will do whatever it takes to get back to her. Back to the life I am supposed to live. I spent many years working out in this room so that when the time came, I could take them down. I just couldn’t do it on my own. Now I won’t have to.

Let’s just hope Lily isn’t too late as I see Prez fight for his life. This man needs a hospital, and I know that Matteo and Allesandro aren’t going to do a damn thing to heal him.

With how he looks and sounds, he maybe has weeks left, if not days.

He’s still my Prez, no matter how many years have passed.

I’m glad to know that Lily still is the badass she has always been. Prez had told me a bunch of stories about the numerous times he had been abducted, only for Lily to track them down and kill anyone that was in her way. She always had backup, but it was always her in the lead causing the most destruction.

She would have done anything to make sure she got her man back. I wasn’t supportive in the beginning when I was unsure of Derek and wanted to protect Lily’s heart, but they were each other’s everything. Nothing and no one could come between him.

Matteo and Alessandro think that kidnapping everyone Lily loves will bring her back. They think they can control her, but I can’t wait until this shit backfires.

They don’t know the shit she will do to save the ones she loves. I have no doubt that if she knew I was alive, she would have come running too. They never were given any information of her whereabouts to be able to let her know I was still alive, thanks to me.

So many days, months, and years have gone by. I missed too much of my life, living with the loneliness. I had no doubt Alessandro had always told me that he would release me if I let him know where Lily was, but I was never about to do that.

It’s not long after Prez pukes that he passes out. I wish I could go to him, but there is fuck all I can do from across the room.

“Think he’s going to make it?” Enzo asks.

I shrug my shoulders. “I’m not sure. I think if he doesn’t get to the doctor soon, there won’t be anything left of him for Lily to save.”

“I was afraid you would say that,” Dario says with worry in his voice.

Lily

He’s in there.

I just know it. There are a lot of guards around. I had followed Matteo to this warehouse. It looked run down. I knew there had to be something going on. You would think it was empty from the outside, but there were way too many men guarding it for it to be an empty warehouse.

I saw my father walk out of the building with Matteo behind him. I was far enough away that they couldn’t see me. The binoculars I was using had me clearly seeing the smug looks on their faces.
