It isn't that Gina regrets what she's done. She dislikes the business, but someone has to run it, and she's... removed... the only other candidates. If they happened to be her only remaining family, well, what else could she do?

Summer was hers. Is hers—she still dreams of that small face, of her limp hand spattered with blood. Summer is hers and they killed her, and Gina did what she had to do.

She looks after Ivy and her family still. They're hers too, even if Ivy doesn't want her anymore.

She protects what is hers. She always will.
