Keyona POV

The night before Daunte came back, I packed up a few bags and headed towards the hotel Kevion chose. He said that once I check in, he will delete my info and put in someone else name. Of course I questioned him and he just said to trust him.

He handed me a burner phone and said I could use it like I would as my regular phone because he made it untraceable. I kept forgetting how amazing he is with electronics and hacking.

I talked to everyone and said goodbye. I knew it made it seem like I was running away, but to be honest, I was. I wasn't running because I was scared, I was running because I wasn't ready to deal with Daunte. I wasn't ready to feel disappointed again.

Why daunte did and said hurt me. It was just disrespectful to me, but to my Bella. He called me jealous about that crazy bitch, Briana. He disrespected e in front of my family and his. He belittled me and tore me apart. The man I love told made me feel ten times worse about losing our daughter. He made me leave thinking it was all my fault.

The moment I walked out his house, I broke down. I sat in the car, crying my eyes out about how he treated me. He called me a liar when I was just telling him everything I found out. He didn't listen to me because I didn't have proof, like my word wasn't enough. That showed me the amount of trust he had in me, none.

I made it to the hotel and unpacked my bags. I was so happy with the room Kevion booked for me. It was suite and it had a king size bed, a kitchen, a bathroom with a jacuzzi bathtub. It also had a balcony, with a view of Sicily. It was amazing and I was in love.

For the next week I walked around the little town. Visited the little market and stands. I realized that a lot of people here in Sicily make their own things and tries to sell them to make a living for their family's. They make all types of clothes, furnitures, mirrors, pictures frames, jewelry and my favorite, candles. All types of different shapes and smells of candles and of course, I bought a lot to keep.

I tried more of the different foods and treats they make and let me tell you, people in Sicily make the best sweets. The flavors of sweet and salty, or the smoothness, mixed with the crunch. I had to try at least a new treat, once a day.

Today was day seven of being in this hotel. I just got out the shower when I heard the burner phone ringing and ran to it. I looked to see who it was first, just to be safe, before I answered it when I ready it was Kevion.

"Hey Bro!" I answered. "Hey sis, how is your little vacation?" He asked and I could hear him smiling. "It's good, I stayed in today since it's a little chilly out today."

"Sounds good, so when are you coming back home? We all miss you." He said and my heart swelled. What's even more crazy is that I'm enjoying this break from them and it's relaxing. I miss them, don't get me wrong but I'm more relaxed being alone. I wasn't going to tell him that, though. "I miss you guys too, but I'm just not ready yet."

I heard him sigh and I knew what it was about. "Look, I understand your upset and I don't want you to hate me, but I think you should talk to him." He said and I just rolled my eyes. "Don't roll your eyes at me!" He said and my eyes went wide, "How? How did you know?!" I gasped and he laughed. "I'm your twin brother, Keyona. I know you." I just shook my head and laughed.

He sighed, "I think you should talk to him. He isn't himself and he feels really guilty. He has tried to talk to me constantly and been begging me to tell him where you are." It fell silent for awhile before I felt my cheeks become wet. I quickly wiped the tears away. "I know you miss him as much as he misses you. I think you both need to sit down and have a serious talk." I scoffed and rolled my eyes as I walked to the closest and grabbed a black tank top and dark blue high waist jeans out. "Well I tried that and you see it didn't work." I walked backed to the bedroom, putting the phone on speaker and sitting it on the bed. "If you don't remember, I tried to sit there and talk to him. I tried to have a serious conversation with him. I tried to tell him the truth but he wouldn't listen, he called me a liar and you were standing right there."

I didn't know what else to say, he wants me to do something that I tried and failed at. He wants me to talk to someone who shamed me. I love Daunte and when called me a liar, that hurt me. I can be a lot of things, but a liar is not one of them. I don't know what he expected from me but apparently it wasn't what he wanted.

"I understand and he feels so guilty!" He said and I laughed, "And he should but that's not my problem anymore." I said as I finished putting my tank top. "Look Keyona, I love you and I support you in anything you choose, but he love you and-" I scoff again, "If he loved me, he wouldn't have disrespected or hurt me, Kevion!" I yelled, cutting him off. I heard him sigh, "Just look at it from his point of view. The woman he loves, stopped talking to him after she found out he was the leader of the Italian Mafia. He lost the woman he loves and when he finally sees her, he finds out that not only did he lose her, but he lost their child also. But not even weeks later, he finds out that he is having a baby with a crazy bitch. Then the woman he loves finds out and then gets kidnapped. She gets kidnapped by his cousin that was secretly in love with him and when he finds that out, he also finds out that the baby he has on the way, was another mans baby. But to top it off, his father that he buried and mourned for, is actually alive and have been on a secret mission to kill everyone who killed his mother." He explain and makes me sit on the bed and think for a second, I haven't looked at his from his point of view. But call me stubborn or whatever, it didn't give him the right to disrespect and hurt me.

I sighed, "I understand that, but what he did and said to me, doesn't excuse the fact that he didn't believe me and said I was jealous because that crazy bitch was pregnant with his child." I sat there just think back to how he acted when I punched Biana. How he reacted as if she was fragile and the most important thing to him, even if it was just for the baby's sake. It still shattered my fucking heart. "And why does it seem like your on his side! Your my brother and not his!" I yelled, realizing that he has been defending a man that hurt his sister.

"I'm not defending him! But Keyona, he is my boss and-" I scoffed and cut him off, "Are you serious right now?! Your defending him because he's your boss?!" I yelled and he groaned, "No Keyona! That's not what I'm saying! Yes, you are my sister and I will always defend you and be on your side but he is my boss and I have been at work and watching him lose himself and trying to find you, is driving me crazy. He even begged me to give him your information! That says a lot in my eyes. I just wished you could see it through yours."

It got silent for awhile before I felt the tears escaping my eyes again, "Look, I'm about to, uh, go get dinner and relax for the night. I'll call you tomorrow." I said, wanting to get off the phone. I heard him sigh, "I only want you to be happy, so I hope you forgive me for what I'm about to do. I love you." He says before hanging up. I looked at the phone in my hand, trying to figure out what he meant, but just shook it off.

He was right, I haven't looked at it from his point of view but I'm blinded by the hurt to care about anything else. What he went through is wrong and I will forever feel bad about losing our child and him having a second chance, but to find out it's not, that's painful for anyone to go through. It still doesn't give him the right to call me a liar.

I didn't feel like dealing with this anymore so I decided to go to go find something to eat. I grabbed my things and left the hotel. I walked around for about twenty minutes before I walked passed this really cute small and family owned Italian restaurant. After looking at the menu for a bit, I ordering Lasagnes alla Bolognese, which is a Lasagna with a zing to it. It was amazing and the moment I took the first bite, I found it to be one of my favorite meals and this became my favorite restaurant.

I sat there and ate in silence as I watched couples eat and laugh together. It made me think of how amazing moments I had with Daunte and how much I did miss him. It made me think of what Kevion said, maybe I do need to have a conversation with him. But the question is, am I ready to talk to him?

I finished my food and ordered seconds of the same dish to go, just incase I got hungry later. They packed it up for me and I paid my bill before I left and headed back to the hotel, but I took my sweet time. Smelling the fresh air and feeling the breeze that hit my face. Listening to leaves on the trees dance and the sound of cars driving. It was late so all the street lights shines and lit up the sidewalks.

I finally got back to the hotel and smiled at the receptionist as I made my way back to my room. Putting the food in the fridge, I quickly went to the bathroom and got undressed. I put on a nightgown and brushed my teeth and washed my face. I put my phone on the charger and sat it on the nightstand. I pulled the duvet back and climbed in the bed, grabbing the remote and flipping through the channels, until I stopped of the Investigation Discovery. I love crime shows.

I started to get comfortable until I heard a knock on the door, it was so weird because it was late and I wasn't expecting anything. I got out of the bed.

"Room Service." I heard someone say and it was weird because I didn't order room service. They might have the wrong room, so I made my way to the door and looked out the peep hole and seen someone standing there in a black button up, just like the bell boys wear. So I didn't think twice and decided to open the door, "I didn't order room ser-". I started saying but froze when my eyes connected with a pair of beautiful ocean blue eyes.

Keyona?" I heard him and I couldn't think so I gulped and said, "Daunte."

He was looking me up and down, that's when I realized, I was in only a night gown. I quickly covered myself with my arms before I let go of the door and ran back towards the room to grab a robe. When I went back, I seen he was standing in my hotel suite and the door was shit behind him. He stood there with his hands in his pockets, muscles flexed through his button up. His hair was messy, like he has ran his hand through it a million times and his eyes had dark circles underneath them. His eyes filled with pain, guilt and regret, but also with a tiny bit of satisfaction, joy, lust and love. He didn't look like himself.

"Umm, What are you doing here? How did you find me?" I asked him, stuttering a little. He took a step toward me, and I quickly took a step back. I seen hurt flash over his face before he covered it up.

"I just want to talk." He said and I shook my head. "Don't you think we talked enough?" I asked and he sighed before he shook his head, "No, I don't."

"Well I think we have and I think you should just leave." I told him, pointing at the door. He shook his head again, "Please Keyona, just let me explain and if you don't want to see me after, I'll leave and you won't even have to hear from me again. But just please, hear me out. I love you."

I froze and looked at him. I didn't now what I was doing but then Kevion words came into mind. I did need to hear him out.

"Fine, you have fifteen minutes."
