chapter 16

Ariana and Shaw stood facing each other on the plane. She glared at Owen.

"Who am I to you, really, Owen?"

He smirked.

"You were nobody to me before you lost your memory... But after finding out you couldn't remember anything? That was very useful to me."

Ariana stood frozen in shock.
"So Dom and them... they're my real team? My family?"

Owen smirked again.
"Took you long enough to figure it out."

"Ariana!"
She turned, hearing her name. A woman with long dark hair stepped forward. Ariana blinked, confused.

"You know me?" she asked.

The woman—Mia—nodded.
"You're my family."

Ariana turned back, rage bubbling over. She punched Owen and kicked Vegh, yelling to Mia—

"Run!"

At that moment, Dom drove up the ramp, watching Ariana strike Shaw and Vegh. Suddenly, Riley shouted, pointing a gun in Ariana's face. Ariana didn't hesitate—she kicked the weapon from Riley's hand. Riley punched her in the gut, but Ariana grabbed Riley's arm and flipped her over, slamming her to the floor before running.

Ahead, she saw Dom and Owen fighting. Klaus approached, and before she could reach Dom, Klaus threw him aside—then grabbed Ariana and hurled her too. She hit the floor hard. As her vision blurred, she saw Hobbs land a punch on Klaus.

Dom ran to her, helping her up. She pulled him into a tight hug—but there was no time.

Vegh was retreating off the plane. Ariana chased after her and landed a hard punch.

Turning back, she saw Dom tackle Owen.

Suddenly—BAM—Ariana was slammed to the floor. A punch came flying at her. She caught the arm mid-air, twisted it, and countered with a punch of her own. She headbutted her attacker and kicked them off.

It was Riley again.

The two locked eyes and charged. Riley slammed Ariana into a wall and began choking her. Ariana clawed at her hand, gasping, losing breath. Desperate, she reached for the side latch. As she pulled it, a blast of air roared through the plane.

Riley was blown back, gripping the edge for dear life.

Ariana collapsed, sucking in air.

"Hey!" Hobbs shouted, tossing her a harpoon gun.
Without hesitation, Ariana turned it on Riley.

"Wrong team, bitch." She pulled the trigger.

Riley screamed as the harpoon sent her flying out the plane.

Hobbs stepped toward the open door, glancing down.
"We gotta move! It's going down!"

"Go!" Dom yelled. Hobbs jumped.

Ariana turned to Dom.
"I'm not leaving you!"

Dom grabbed her waist, pulling her close.
"Jump, Ari. I'm not losing you again."

She nodded, eyes locked with his—then jumped.

Hobbs caught her mid-air. As she looked up, she saw Dom run back into the plane.

Behind them, the aircraft exploded in a fiery blast. Ariana, Hobbs, and Roman watched in horror. Tej slammed the brakes, staring at the wreckage.

Then—out of the flames—a silver car shot from the plane, hitting the ground hard and rolling.

Ariana's breath caught. She jumped out of the car, running toward the wreckage.

The door opened. A figure stepped out holding a case.

It was Dom.

She ran to him, throwing her arms around his neck. He hugged her back tightly. She pulled back just enough to kiss him—long and hard.

Then she grabbed his hand, lacing her fingers with his as they walked toward the team.

"So this is worth billions, huh?" Dom asked Hobbs, lifting the case.

Hobbs exhaled.
"Yes, it is."

"Name your price, Dom."

Dom looked down at Ariana, smiling as she looked back at him.

"1327." he said.
