the last time vincent had left the country had actually been unintentional. a drunken weekend in vegas at nineteen years old turned into a two am drive to mexico. and then a month later, he came back home to a *very* angry father. but this time, things were very different. he had traveled to meet his girlfriend’s family, and properly introduce himself to her father, whom he’d been scamming for the past several years.

for someone who hardly got a good nights sleep to begin with, this jet lag was a pain in the ass. when kaylee left in the morning for her run, he didn’t wake up immediately. what did wake him up though, was her absence. he’d reached out to grab onto her in his sleep, and found nothing beside him. after freshening up, kaylee finally rejoined him in the bathroom, where he was getting dressed… in black.

“how are you, princesa?”

lThe only consistency in Vin’s life, were the relationships he had with other people. The good, the bad, the ugly--any and all were appreciated. They wake him up bright and early each morning, and keep him awake late into the night. The relationships he valued the most, were the ones he held within his family. His children truly meant the world to him, and then some. Without them, he wouldn’t be the person he was today. And without the guidance of his family, he wouldn’t have crossed paths with his most beloved, Liliana Ambrose. 

He’d known Lily for a lot of her life, strangely enough. After the passing of his first wife, he had never intended on finding someone else. But with Lily, it was just different. She had given him a home he never knew that he needed. She was his person. 

Vin emerges through the back door of their home, kicking off his shoes and dropping his things to the floor. He then runs his hands over his face, letting out a sigh of relief. Mob life wasn’t easy, and it took its toll on a person. And some days were harder than others, especially with recent events. 

“Lily?” He lets out, taking a few steps further into their home.

As many differences the couple had, they had just as many similarities. Their age gap alone made up for many of those differences, and yet they made it work. For them both, family was everything. To have their loyalty was something to hold onto forever once you had to. Vince didn’t need to know what exactly Kaylee had done to the man that had assaulted him. Because just to have her be angry with him and have her support told him all he needed to know.

Vincent never made anything easy for anyone else. Even his beloved princesa. Kaylee had thrown about the idea of taking a trip. Which was fine… Vince could deal with a trip to Philly or Jersey, /maybe/ even Vegas? But, no. Kaylee had other ideas in mind. And day after day she would slip it into conversation, and even got his kids involved. If you’d ask Vince, he would say he was blackmailed into going. But… it was a much needed vacation.

It was going on three weeks since he’d last seen her. Three weeks since he’d last seen her smile, and heard her breathe his name. Three entire weeks since he’d known of her whereabouts. Three weeks since anyone had seen her alive, well and breathing.

Vincent had hardly slept, he’d spent every minute looking at security footage, barking orders and working towards getting Lily home. They had a few different leads that he unfortunately fallen through. He knew who had taken his girl, they were just struggling to find out where she was, and why. He had his fair share of enemies in this city, and one of them had made his worst fear come true.

One of his people had recently gotten a tip that she had been taken to a warehouse just a few minutes outside of the city. At this point, Vincent had to have hope that she was still alive and well, and that they were looking for a person instead of just a body. It caused the man physical pain to think that she may have succumbed to any harm, because of him. Because someone who didn’t like him wanted intel on his business. Lily didn’t deserve any of it, and yet she had fallen victim.

It had taken a few days to form a plan of attack. They’d narrowed in on the warehouse to storm, and gotten all of the people they needed, even each of Vin’s sons were ready to help in case a war broke out. Each person had their orders: when and where they were supposed to be. Tonight would finally be the night that Lily was coming home, no matter what.

It was just after nine o’clock when they made their entrance, from any and every exit they could find. Vincent had the pleasure of shooting down not one, but two guards: one by a fatal shot to the abdomen, and the other guy getting it square in between the eyes. The man had trained for moments like these his entire life, and wasn’t going to show a single drop of mercy, until he found his bride safe, and alive. If he had had things his way, not a single life would be left. It felt like they were checking rooms for hours, clearing the building starting from the basement and working up. Apart from a few guards, there had been no sign of Liliana, which only fed the fury growing within Vincent.

Shots could be heard from the opposite side of the building, along with screaming and shouting. No one was safe, not even his own men. But each of their lives were sacrifices he was willing to make to get Lily back home. Vin had been on the second floor when he felt his phone vibrating in his pocket. He kept his stride while answering it, not saying anything, but expecting to be spoken too.

“Top floor, south, last room on the right,” his son Mathias says, out of breath completely. With this information, he hangs up the phone, and sprints to the nearest staircase, moving faster than he had in years. He knew nothing of the state she was in, nor if she was even up there. The man just had to hope that she had been found, he didn’t know how much longer he could take of this.

Within minutes, he finds himself heading down the hallway, his vision becoming blurred as he got closer and closer to the door. It didn’t feel real, he couldn’t even think about anything, other than holding her again, feeling her chest rise and fall beneath him, feeling the warmth of her skin against his. He had a bunch of things he wanted to say and do, but the only goal he had in the moment was to get to her.

As he arrives in the doorway, he’s left without air to breathe, eyes immediately landing on Lily, watching as Mathias and another one of his soldiers worked on getting her ankles out of restraints. Vincent wastes literally zero time, going to her side and falling at her knees.

“Baby, are you alright?” He asks, hands frantically going over her body to make sure she had no fresh wounds that needed to be tended to. Even so, she wasn’t in good shape. He saw the bruising and dried blood, causing numerous different emotions to soar through the man. Of course, he was angry. But he was saddened to see the woman he loved in this condition. Seeing her in this amount of pain, knowing he couldn’t do anything about it just hurt him in a way he couldn’t describe.

Vin leans forward, resting his forehead against hers and letting out a deep sigh of relief. Lily was alive, and he could finally take her home.
