We will get her back. No matter the cost. Tori’s been taken. Nico's done the unthinkable—kidnapped her right from under our noses. We’ve spent years fighting for her, trying to prove that we’re the ones who deserve her, and just when we managed to have her the way we've wanted, he’s got her. He’s using her. Telling her to say she hates us, that she never loved us. And I can’t—we can’t—let that stand. She’s ours. She always has been. And Nico? He’s playing with fire... moreWe will get her back.

We’ll burn everything down to the ground to get her back. We don’t care if it’s him or anyone else who stands in our way. Blaze’s already paying the price for underestimating him, but Nico doesn’t realize what he’s done. The second we get our hands on him, he’ll wish he never laid a finger on her. We’ll break every rule, every line, because there’s no way in hell we’re letting her stay in his grasp. This is no longer about proving we’re the right ones for her—it’s about saving her. And when we do, Nico will regret the day he ever thought he could own her. 🥀 Why Choose. 🖤 POC FMC. 🥀 Dark Romance. 🖤 Morally Gray MMCs. 🥀 Captor/Captive. 🖤 Protectiveness at all costs. 🥀 Determined heroes. 🖤 Action-packed revenge. 🥀 Slow burn 🔥🔥.

When I told the guys I wanted to go back—to learn from my father—I knew it wouldn’t be easy. I knew Diablo wouldn’t approve of the fact that I have three men at my side. But I didn’t expect him to tear us apart piece by piece. He doesn’t need to kill Blaze, Ryder, and Thorne to take them from me. He just has to make me doubt them. And he knows exactly how to do it. He separates us, tests their loyalty, and throws temptations in their path... moreWhen I told the guys I wanted to go back—to learn from my father—I knew it wouldn’t be easy. I knew Diablo wouldn’t approve of the fact that I have three men at my side. But I didn’t expect him to tear us apart piece by piece. He doesn’t need to kill Blaze, Ryder, and Thorne to take them from me. He just has to make me doubt them. And he knows exactly how to do it. He separates us, tests their loyalty, and throws temptations in their path. He wants to push them until they fail—until I see them as weak, until I believe they’re not worthy of standing by my side. One crack in our foundation is all he needs to destroy everything we’ve built. But Diablo underestimates us. Because we don’t break.
