Conner is rushing around the room, grabbing everything he can throwing it into our suitcases. "Come on, Cass! We got to hurry. They have tracked us here, and now they are coming. We've got to get out of here before they find us."

Slamming my clothes into my suitcase, "I working on it. I am packing as fast as I can," grabbing my clothes out of the old brown beat-up dresser that is tucked in the corner of the room.

Conner pears over at me with wild eyes, "I told you not to unpack completely. We would be gone in a few months like everywhere else," as he shoves his gun into the back of his pants.

Stopping crossing my arms over my chest at him, "That was seven months ago, Conner! I got comfortable in here and wanted to relax somewhat."

He sighs while running a hand through his thick dirty blond hair. "I know! I'm sorry I dragged you into this life. I wish I hadn't."

Throwing a hand up in his face quickly, "Stop it. I love my life with you, and since our parents are dead, we have no other relatives alive. I only have you, and I would follow you anywhere, do anything for you because we are the only family we have left."

When we hear a crash, we finish packing as the front door is kicked in to the small one-bedroom apartment that we rented.

Conner grabs me shoving me towards the window. "Oh, Shit! Oh Shit. Their here. Quickly, out the window!"

Looking down to the ground, "It's a two-story drop," turning around to look at him, "Ahhhhhh!" the scream comes out of my mouth before I realize what is going on.

Conner whirls around, then his eyes go wide "Cass? Cass!"

A man has come in off the fire escape through the window he just opened for me to go through, grabbing me by pinning my arms against my sides. His leg is pushing into me, holding my feet where I can not move as he slams me against something hard, and I finally see he has me with precision against his chest. I could take him down, but I see the shiny silver of a gun barrel in his other hand.

"Well, well, well. Hello guys. I didn't think we would catch up to you quite so soon," he purrs in my ear.

My brother starts to rush him, but he goes to pointing his gun at his face. "Donnie? Let her go. You want me, not her."

Donnie smiles as he glares at my brother. "You neglected to say how beautiful your sister was. She would be worth something."

Jayden steps into the room over the shattered door splinters that now litter the floor. "No! Don't touch her in that manner. She will be used to what we want her to do, as I command her to do."

Donnie growls as he snaps his eyes to him. "Come on, boss! This is like torture holding her this close to me; her body is perfect against mine."

Jayden points his finger in his direction "Donnie! Don't piss me off! You may be a boss in your area, but I run everyone. You all report to me. I am already pissed after tracking these two for so long, and now they will run again. It looks like we got here just in time."

Michael has snatched Conner with his hands pinned behind his back. "Jayden, please! Let her go. I will go with you without a fight, but please don't make her into your sex slave."

Jayden walks over to me, wrapping a piece around his finger slowly. "Ha! Very funny, Conner. She's not going to be that anyway. Even if I did, you owe me a shit ton of money, plus she would never be able to make that much in a lifetime."

Looking over at my brother, "Wait? How much does he owe you? Conner, you said two million."

Jayden puts his finger under my chin and lifts it. I'm only five foot five inches, one hundred twenty pounds of solid muscle, but he is close to six foot, probably around two twenty of solid muscle. His shirt bulges as he walks, and his muscles ripple down his body.

His eyes are sparkling as they look into mine, his dark chocolate iris locking hard onto my light brown ones. "Oh love, he owes me much more than that. Between the three of us here, he has stolen close to sixty million."

My eyes tear up, and I look at Conner, and he drops his head, confirming exactly what Jayden just said "It's true. I did get close to that."

My body goes slack against Donnie now as it all sinks in. "Where the hell is it? We haven't been living like you have that much."

"I still have most of it but been using some to help keep us up, but about fifty million is still in an offshore bank."

Jayden pulls out his gun, aiming it at me. "If you want your sister's life to be spared, you will transfer all of it into this account now" as he hands him a piece of paper. "You are an amazing hacker, and your skills are going to be put to use for me along with your sister here."

"Of course. Let me get my laptop, and I will do it immediately," Micheal lets him go slowly.

"Michael, go with him. Make sure he doesn't screw up" as he puts his gun back into where he pulled it out from behind his back.

Michael is smiling big "Of course. Then we have fun?"

His gaze is cold along with his voice this time, "I told you no. I have other plans for these two. They will work for me directly, under the supervision of Michael and JT. Michael, you are responsible for Conner, JT; you are going to be assigned to Cassie here."

JT's jaw drops. "Come on, boss! You know that's going to be hard to do after what I told you."

He snaps hard at him, "I don't care what feelings you have for her. Wipe them clean and do as I say."

"Fine," he growls in a hard voice. "Let's go, honey. You are now mine."

Looking over to my brother like it will be the last time I will ever see him, "Conner? I will always love you."

He has tears in the corner of his eyes. "As do I. Please believe me that I will do everything they ask so this will be fixed, I promise."

Jayden waves his hand towards the door. "Take her to the Range Rover. We will be there as soon as the money is transferred."

"See you shortly," he snarls at my brother; then we walk to the car, he opens the back door. I slide into the middle seat then he sits beside me as the door slowly closes. "I have waited a long time to be this close to you. To touch you and smell your scent alone is driving me crazy."

"Yeah, and Jayden told you to leave me alone. Why are you interested in me anyway?" trying to use my demanding voice to show that I am not afraid right now as my adrenaline is slowly fading.

He takes his finger and runs it down my cheek, neck, collarbone, and arm. He smirks as he does it. "Just your skills alone are a huge bonus. When you are paired up with me, we will be unstoppable. You will make an excellent queen and be feared by everyone to where no one will even try and cross us. They will shake in their shoes at our names."

Shaking my head at him, "Look, I don't even know you. How could you know so much about me? I know you tried to strike a deal with my brother to make me your wife as payment, but how could you even know if we could even work together?"

His smile tells me everything I need to know "You are a treasure that many men would kill to have. You don't see your potential with a little more training. The perfect wife, leader, and a very powerful icon in the mafia world. As soon as Jayden lets you become available for marriage, I will be first in line to ask."

"Don't I have a say in that? What if we don't get along? I have no plans of having feelings for anyone of you" trying to slide away from him some but his arm snakes around my waist quickly.

"No, you don't. You belong to Jayden and his mafia group now. Your brother also so both of your life belongs to us" he pulls me close as he whispers in my ear.

Just then, the door opens; Jayden and Michael get in with us while my brother, along with the other two, get into the car behind us. We then pull off and start driving away from the life that I once had freedom, and now what will happen to us?

He looks at me through the rearview mirror since I am sitting behind him now. "I hope you had a good talk. Do you understand your role in this now? What you must do to stay alive?"

Hanging my head because I know there is no way we can get out of this mess because if I even try, they will kill my brother then hunt me down again. "Basically everything you ask for, correct? I have to use my skills to your advantage."

He winks at me. "You get the main picture. Your skills will grow as you learn, train, and become my personal assassin."

"Your what?" looking at him in horror.

"That will be your job with me. I order a hit; you execute it."

Racking my brain to try and say the next thing without making him mad, "Don't you have people already? How do that?"

"I do, but not with your amount of skill. You will be the top leader over all of them shortly as soon as I see how good your skills really are." Not long after we have left, the car turns into a huge gate, goes down a long driveway, and finally pulls up to the biggest mansion I've ever seen.
