As I open my eyes I feel Emilio still asleep under me. I lay on his chest and I can feel his breathing slow and steady. He looks so calm and peaceful. Aurora looks so much like him and his mother.

I still have to tell him.... But.... How will he take it?

I slowly got up and tried shaking him to wake him up.

"Emilio.." I say as I wrap a bed sheet around my naked body. I see his eyes start to open slowly.

"Athena? What's wrong?" He asks as he sits up.

"I have to tell you something and I have to tell you now" I say. I need to tell him or else someone is gonna interrupt me.

"Okay? What is it?" He asks. I can feel the blood drain from my face and heat rise up in my body.

"My daughter.... Her name is not Aurora Knight..." I say. I could tell he was still tired and confusion was written all over his face.

"Her name is Aurora Di Vincenzo..." his eyes held even more confusion. He looked like he was about to say something but he stopped himself. My heart was beating really fast and it was making me more nervous. He didn't say anything.

"A month later after I hooked up with you, I found out I was pregnant. With not only one, but two. I thought of aborting but I could never do that. So I decided to have them. The day I found out I was being chased by The Russians. The same night I gave birth, I saw my baby boy taken as I was weakened by the medicine. That's why I trained myself to protect Aurora and find my son." I say as I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.

Emilio just looked at the floor lost in thought. I waited for a response but it never came.

"Please, say something" I was afraid he was going to kill us or not want them but, I can't do anything else! The redness of my face was clearly visible and I could feel my eyes start to blurry.

"Please, I have to get my son back. I promise I will stay with you and you can do whatever you want with me just let me find him" I begged him with tears streaming down my face.

Once his eyes met mine he got up. He hovered over me. I looked into his eyes. My mind isn't clear so i wasnt able to read his face expression.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner, Athena" he whispered. His face held so much confusion and anger was mixed with it but there was also sadness in them, Something that i havent seen in the whole time ive been with him.

"I was just scared. I don't want them to have this life. I want them to be happy and free from a dangerous life. From this Dangerous Love." I say. He turned away from me and started to get dressed. He didn't even turn to look at me. Before he walked out the door he stopped.

"We're going back to Florida tonight. Once we get there. You're free to go" he then walked out of the room slamming the door.

"Wha- no wait! please!" I yell trying to put on the dress. Once I have it on, I rush out just to find Claire and Issac coming towards the room. My eyes were already red from all the frustration.

"What the hell happened? Why is he so mad? He just told us to get ready to head back to Florida'' asked Issac as I paced back and forth in front of them. I brushed my hand through my messy hair. What am I going to do now? I didnt expect him to just set me free.

My head started spinning and I had no idea what to do. My vision blurred once more and ringing noise filled my ears. I fell to the floor as tears streamed down my face again. All I could think of was how I was gonna find my son now. I dont know if I was more mad at the fact that I wasted so much time being here or Emilios reaction.
