Ryder's Pov

"Why didn't you tell me sooner Violet? I mean honestly, you know who I feel about her. She is on a suicide mission now, we could have helped her instead of her doing it herself," I yell at Violet as we board the plane. "I already told you, Ryder. She didn't want you to know, she only called to check now you and to tell me she was okay," Violet yells back. I go and sit next to Ryan who is typing away at his computer, "I want to kill Violet right now," I whisper to him. He chuckles at me, "that's my blood you're talking about. you'd never do it though, I'd kick your ass and so would Annabel," I roll my eyes at him. I close my eyes and as we take off.

Annabel's Pov

"Damn Mami, how about you come home with me tonight, baby," A guy from Marco's gang, my target. I formed a plan on how I am going to get in and plant the explosives. 

First I got a platinum blond wig because guys have a thing for it apparently. I bought a short one. Then, a dress that is really fucking short and tight. Next, I got drugs to knock him out because obviously, I will not be sleeping with this sleaze bag. When I get in I grab the bag of explosives I brided one of his guys to bring. Honestly, his men are terrible, none of them are trustworthy. I only paid the guy two grand. 

Now the plan was in action. I giggle like I am drunk, "Okayyy," I smile at him and stumble forward. He wraps his arm around my waist and pulls me out to his car. "Can we have another drink when we get there?" I ask him. "Anything for you baby. As long you show me that thing you did on the dance floor," he says with a nasty smile and I giggle and nod my head.

It takes us five minutes to get to the mansion. We get with me giggling and stumbling, we go to his room and he gets us two drinks, “is your door locked?” I ask him and as soon as he goes to check I realize the powder from the hidden compartment in my ring and I swirl the drink around to make sure it dissolves. “It is now baby. Bottoms up,” He says as he grabs his drink and downs it. I do the same. “Let’s dance,” I say with a giggle and I get up and start dancing. He starts to dance with me and within a minute and starts to stumble. 

He falls back and lands on his bed. “Didn’t take you long to pass out,” I say and leave the room. I walk to the fifth door and open. I see the bag and I grab it. I start placing the bombs all over the mansion. Oddly enough I haven’t run into anyone. I walk towards the front door to leave, “Leaving so soon, Annabel” I look back to see Marco smiling a wicked smile at me. “Annabel? My name is Sarah,” I respond back trying to make it seem like I am dumb. “Really, Sarah, how come I can see a scar that is identical to one Annabel has,” shit. “You mean this one?” I asked pointing to the one on my arm, “I got this on new years eve, let’s just say I drank a lot and may or may not have fallen off a bar counter.” 

“God, Annabel, I’m not fucking stupid. You should know, and you should get used to it seeing as we are to marry,” He says with a smirk. “If you think I’d ever marry you, then you are wrong. I don’t need some dick telling what my future is,” I snap back at him. “Well if you refuse then we will see how Ryder and his friends feel when I torture and killed them because of you.” 

“You won’t do shit to us, Monroe,” Ryder, the rest of the group, and ten more men walk. All armed and pointing at Marco. “Ha, the whole group is here. Maybe we should have the wedding today Annabel, my love,” Marco says. “What wedding?” Ryder asks. "There is no wedding and there never will be. Ryder you guys need to leave now. This is between Marco and me." I tell them. "No, we aren't leaving you." I look towards Marco, "You know this day was going to come didn't you. You just didn't know it would be at the hands of me. You always thought I was stupid, just like my father. I am not my father," After I say that I grab the knife I hade under my dress and throw it at his leg and he yells in pain, I swing the door open, "Let's go," I yell and we all run out.

We get to the gate and Ryder shoots the guard, Ryan goes and opens the gate. We all run out, I turn around to see a bunch of men running towards us. I grab the trigger from the bag and I push the button. The building explodes and the men running towards us go flying. "You did this?" Axel asks me. "Yes, now we need to go, did you guys come in cars," I ask them."Yes, we did. Come on, Annabel was right guys, we need to leave. I can hear the sirens," Violet says and we run to where the cars are. I tell the driver where to go.

"Why'd you run?" Ryder whispers, I look over to see a tear running down his face. "I didn't want you to get hurt. This was my fight, not yours," I tell him. "We are together. We should fight together, I would have helped you, we did help you." "I was perfectly fine, you guys almost ruined the whole plan and you could have gotten yourselves killed. What if I was outside and I didn't you know guys were in there, you could have been killed, and it would have been because of me. Do you know how bad I already feel for leaving? Now the thought of almost killing you guys is terrible," I yell at him with tears down my face.

"You may have been able to drink yourself to sleep every night, but I had to figure out a way to kill Marco and get back to you guys and make sure you guys are safe. So Ryder get over yourself. You weren't the only one in a living hell," I yell at him. I turn away and look out the window and start to fall asleep.
