AARON

It's been a month since my vacation with Trinity, and I haven't felt any better than I do right now.

Life seems great.

Trinity seems happy with me. I'm happy with her.

So goddamn happy.

And the Quinton's are falling into the trap Reid and Donovan constructed.

I didn't like the idea at first since it included my little sister getting involved but when Ayla went through the plans she wanted in.

I'm still not happy with that idea but I'm happy that we are at least one step closer to destroying them.

As long as their gone, Trinity will be safe.

I've been extra careful. Making sure no one has been following me.

I hired extra security too.

I was preparing to go to Trinity's house when a knock on my office door grabbed my attention.

"Come in." I cleared my throat, not expecting anyone at this time.

I had just gotten off the phone with Trinity, and she had made my voice sound raspy.

I definitely need a glass of water.

Ayla and Donovan both walked in the room, both of them having scowls on their faces as they walk towards me.

"What is it?" What do you want?" I asked, annoyed. I just want to go see Trinity.

Ayla rolls her eyes before speaking, "The plan worked."

"What plan?" I questioned, quirking one eyebrow up in confusion.

"The one I sent you two weeks ago." Donovan states, his arms crossed over his chest, his expression shocked.

I take my phone out and instantly look for the plan.

Shit, he sent that two weeks ago. How am I this late to seeing it?

I run my hand over my face in frustration before reading.

I glare at both of the people in the room.

"Your getting married?" I shut my phone off and stuff it in my pocket before crossing my arms over my chest.

"It's part of the plan, Aaron." Ayla rolls her eyes.

"A very stupid plan-"

It wasn't a stupid plan. It was a very smart plan that, surprisingly, Donovan created. It was only stupid because it involved my little sister.

"It's not a stupid plan, which is surprising since Dino invented it." She states, sticking her tongue out at Donovan as he chuckles in response.

I don't like this.

"We agreed to use Ayla for a mission not for her to get closer to the Quinton's." I say to Donovan as his eyes stay on Ayla instead of me.

"This plan is good, I've made sure that Ayla would be safe. She's moving into a house close to one of my houses so if something were to go wrong, I'll be there in less than five minutes. With this plan, it does get us closer to the Quinton's and it gives us an opportunity for getting information from them." He explains.

"I'll be wearing a wire most of the time, and I'll have my self-defense weapons on me." Ayla adds. "You know what they say?"

"What do they say?" I ask, annoyed with Ayla.
