Romeo's pov

I listen to Kaden explain the plan over a hundred times.

Take everyone down, be careful of Stormi, here's a picture of what Manny looks like, blah blah blah.

If he wasn't a selfish asshole, Stormi wouldn't be in this situation.

It's all his fault.

If something happens to Stormi, I will leave my job as Kadens right man.

For someone to want someone so bad their entire life and be madly in love with someone, he certainly let her go without putting up a fight.

Regardless of the situation, he shouldn't of let her go, freely.

It should of been her choice. But he didn't give her one.

If I had a relationship like theirs, she would never be out of my sight.

You could say I'm jealous of them, you can say I like Stormi.

Stormi is extremely beautiful and funny, but her attitude is the problem.

I could never be with someone like her. No offense but she's to moody and rude for me. But, from what I have heard, what everyone in the house has heard, Stormi is great in bed.

I used to hate walking near their room because of some of the sounds coming from there but I miss them.

Not like that, I just miss her voice.

I miss her annoying, rude comments and constant complaining about dumb shit.

I miss the way she would miraculously put us all in a better mood.

Hopefully, today is the day we get our girl back.

I check the bullets in my assault automatic rifle and put a pistol in the back of my pants and another one in the strap on my leg.

I watch as everyone else does the same before we all put on bullet proof vest.

Kaden calls our snipers and tells them to get ready.

We all start moving slowly towards the gate and wait until we get the signal.

Moments later, six guards drop at once followed by the rest.

"Let's go!" Kaden yells as he runs forward.

I run behind him as he kicks open the door and we all swarm in.

I stay next to Kaden as everyone starts searching the rooms one by one, killing everyone inside.

When we clear the first floor, we slowly start to head downstairs.

I get goosebumps when I heard a familiar laugh.

Stormi's laugh.

My head snaps to Kaden who has relief flooded all over his face.

But, you could also tell he's upset.

As we approach the door, her laughs fill the room.

Kaden slowly opens the door and I step inside.

The two guys that are holding guns are shot instantly as the guy sitting on Stormi's hospital bed with her, isn't.

Manny.

I feel Kaden stiffen beside me as he stares at both of them.

Stormi's is shocked. She doesn't look good. She is paler than usual and looks thin.

Her hair is messy and her lips are extremely chapped and kind of pale.

Her eyes are locked on Kaden as he's holding his gun aimed at Manny's head.

"Get away from her!" Kaden yells as he takes a step closer.

Manny smiles and wraps his arm around Stormi's shoulders.

"Do you not like this?" Manny says as he scoots closer to Stormi, who doesn't push him away.

Stormi looks down at her hands and starts to play with her fingernails.

"Baby?" Kaden says but it sounds like a cry for help.

"Don't call her that." Manny hisses.

Kaden snaps his fingers and our men circle around Manny holding their guns to him.

Manny laughs as he stares at Kaden.

Kaden puts his gun in his waist band and grabs Stormi's hand.

"I'm sorry babygirl." Kaden says pulling Stormi's closer to him.

It shocks me when she pulls away from him.

"Baby!" Kaden pleads.

Stormi shakes her head as she looks towards her hands again and scoots closer to Manny.

Kadens face turns white as he tries to grab her hand again but this time, Manny stands up and pushes against Kadens chest.

Manny is smacked to the ground, full force, by one of our men who holds him down by the shoulders.

I walk closer to Stormi and put my hand on her shoulder.

She looks at me and for a second, a light shines in her eyes but it quickly vanishes.

"Hey." I make myself sound as calmly as I can.

She looks straight down at her fingers again without a word spoken.

I shake her shoulder a little bit but she doesn't say anything or move.

"What's wrong?" I ask her.

She turns to me. This time with tears in her eyes. I quickly retreat to wipe them away.

She turns her head away from me and sighs quietly.

We watch as Manny is placed in handcuffs around his waist and ankles before lead out of the room.

Manny turns to look at Stormi.

"Remember what I said storm. I'll see you soon alright?" Manny calls.

I watch as Stormi smiles at him and she watches him until he disappears from our view.

Seconds later, her smile falls as she looks towards her fingers again.

Kaden drops beside her on the bed and wraps his arms around her shoulders.

"I know you hate me. I know you do. I hate myself to but I promise that this all was for your safety." He grabs her chin and lifts her face up until they are looking eye to eye.

"Princessa, I love you. I love you so much."

She stares at him without saying anything.

My heart starts to race as this is really unusual for Stormi.

She talks all the time.

She loves to talk.

She expresses how she feels even if her words don't express it, her eyes do.

But she isn't showing anything.

It's like she's not even in her own body.

"Baby, talk to me. Are you okay?" Kaden whispers.

I step closer to them and rub Stormi's back.

I can only imagine the horror they might have put her through.

Kaden gives me a slight smile before leaning his forehead against Stormi's.

"Baby, please." He pleads closing his eyes.

She starts to play with her fingers again before lifting up her head.

She gives me a small smile before turning to face Kaden.

She gives him a small smile which he returns.

"Can I kiss you?" Kaden asks.

She shakes her head no before throwing the covers off of her and standing up.

I watch her skin turn whiter than usual and her eyes roll into the back of her head.

Kaden and I both grab her as she starts to fall backwards.

I place two fingers on the side of her neck to feel for a pulse.

My heart stops as I feel nothing. I try the other side and end up unsuccessful on finding a pulse.

Kaden reaches for her wrist and I watch the pain and horror flash across his eyes.

"We need to get her to a hospital!" I panic.

Kaden grabs her bridal style as we both run towards the car.
