Maria Montero.

That's where it's all started. When Romano didn't kill her with her husband sixteen years ago.

And now she's out for blood. An eye for an eye, and an ear for an ear, while she's out to get the whole body as a token to calm her raging broken soul.

Her kid is all grown up, and after all these years of teaching him nothing but hatred and revenge for the Montero family, he is amped up ready for war.

And when she finally gets what she wants, things get twisted, mistakes are made and people gradually die. 

And Kalani now has to put on some big girl pants because somebody she once helped escape death is now out to get her family and this time, she's not giving out any second chances because what she loves most is being threaten.

Mr and Mrs Montero

Kalani stopped breathing. Her heartbeat was gone. I shook her body but still, hers just laid there, lifeless. 


"Kalani!" I yelled at her. "Wake up god damnit!" 


"What's wrong with mom?" A voice suddenly startled me. When I looked behind me, and it was Dakota. Felix came running after them, but it was too late. The kids were here, and we couldn't make them unsee this. But I could save the little ones from the trauma. 


I believe these kids have seen too much for the last couple of days to last them a lifetime. And they couldn't have any more of it. I'm afraid their tiny hearts can never stomach it. 


"Aunt Eva, what's wrong with mom, and where is dad and Eawa?" Rumi asked. Truth be told, she was asking all the questions I didn't have answers to, and I didn't know what to say.
