Your family wasn't one to mess with. Really, wasn't.

It wasn't about connections to ruin careers and reputations when it came to your family, not like the usual elites' definition of destroying lives at the Upper East Side. People died when your family were messed with, something Carter Baizen had totally underestimated.

He used you. Conned you. Made you fall in love with him to pay off his debts.

Throughout the elaborate scheme he'd lured the little mafia princess into, he never prepared for the part where he would fall for you. Kind, good-hearted, ethereal beyond belief and nothing like your family. You were the sunshine to the total darkness that was Carter.

But it was too late. When you found out, you were furious, and before you knew it your brothers were threatening Carter for hurting the princess, demanding revenge - which usually meant he would never be seen again.

Chuck Bass had initially offered him a way out. A one-way ticket to Greece to run and never look back. But Carter wouldn't accept it, the thought of hurting you, the woman he came to love more than anything the world - more than himself - was enough to drive him to his very death.

Something Chuck Bass alerted you of when your brothers had already taken Carter away.

There he was, in an abandoned warehouse in God-knows-where, fully prepared to face the consequences of his actions when you came in.
