I looked down at Ella, who was now peacefully sleeping under the covers. She had fallen asleep in my arms after she cried for almost an hour.

The sight of her pulled at my heart strings. After what she had told me, after she poured her heart out and wrote every single minor and major detail of that horrible night, she looked like she was in quite peaceful sleep.

Ella didn't wake up as I was laying her on the bed and pulling the covers up to her shoulders.

She had surely exhausted herself while I on the other hand, can not be exhausted because of the adrenaline coursing through my body.

I got up from the bed and rushed out of the room. I carefully closed the door so I wouldn't wake Ella up and marched myself to my study.

The first thing I did was walk towards the butterfly painting I bought from Ella. Looking at it reminded me that I still haven't paid her the money because she has yet to give up her account number, refusing to take money from me.

I think Custo got wind of the hit on his son and left Ella there by herself to die in his place. I think he sent his son into hiding while claiming he was murdered and never intended for Ella to return alive which is why she got hidden away. She’s just a pawn to her family.

    "What?" I asked, a bit alarmed to hear that the hit man organizer had met my wife, and I didn't even know about it."I have told you that I retired after what happened to that poor girl. I kept my eyes on that mansion just to see if she did survive." The old man started before he took a deep breath, getting ready to let me in on the full story."When Custo announced on the next day that his son had been kidnapped and was killed, I knew something was fishy. I should know better than anyone that it wasn't his son who got kidnapped. It was his daughter. I might not have eyes on what was happening inside of the mansion, but I kept my eyes planted on what was happening outside. I noticed a man going in and out of the house after Elliot's so-called funeral. I looked into him and found out that he was an underground doctor. He wasn't even that good from what I had seen. I assumed that the Williamson's were keeping Ella in that house and were having her treated by a doctor whoppppp doesn't ha

    Ella Smith...I woke up about an hour after I fell asleep. I glanced at my phone, which was left on my nightstand, and reached for it. I looked at the time and saw that it was ten past midnight.My lips opened wide as a yawn escaped my mouth. My left hand fell towards Elijah's side of the bed, and I frowned when I felt how cold the sheets were.I glanced towards his side of the bed and realized that he was not there. I sat up before I looked towards the bathroom. The lights were out.I then looked towards the walk-in closet and then towards the surveillance room, and no luck.With a small frown on my face, I stood up from the bed and went to the third door. Elijah has warned me one too many times not to walk around the house all on my own, so I had to check where he was through the cameras before I decided to leave the room.I walked in and plugged the computers, revealing the different rooms and places that were exposed to the cameras. I looked through the first three mo

    I woke up the next morning to soft kisses being pressed against my cheek. I did my best to stop the smile that was trying to stretch my lips so the kisses wouldn't stop.The kiss moved to my jawline and slowly moved closer to my lips.Before it reached my lips, though, it stopped."I know you're awake, Ella." Elijah whispered against my lips, helping the smile to break free.I pealed my tired eyes open and squinted at him. Elijah's face was looming over me, his dark eyes gazing down at me with utmost affection and love."Good morning, wife." He mumbled before he leaned down and finally pressed a kiss against my lips.'Good morning.' I mouthed before I shot him a smile."It certainly is a good morning." Elijah commented, making me blush.My mind jumped back to the previous night when Elijah and I had made love for the very first time.Elijah pecked my lips one more time before he tried to get up. I wrapped my arms around his waist, refusing to let him get out of bed. Elijah laughed, a

    Everyone was tense as we looked around at each other. The words the detective lastly spoke hung in the air."What the heck are you talking about?" Cane asked, breaking the silence that had enveloped the study."I don't know what they want with her. But they told me to use any means possible to get her out of the house. They even suggested that I should arrest her for conspiring with Elijah and then hand her to them before we get to the station." Detective Kevin explained."Why?" Elijah asked, and I glanced at him only to see that his eyes were now on me.Elijah's dark eyes were engulfed with flames. He looked like he could kill someone right at the moment."Again, I don't know why they want her. But they said that if I don't get her out of the protection you've placed on her, they will kill my son." The detective whispered."They probably chose you because of your badge. You can wave that around and lie about an arrest warrant and take Ella out easily." Cane assumed, drawing my eyes t

    "The three of us used to be really close." Cane commented as he looked at the computer he had placed on his lap, sitting by the chair in front of the window in my art studio.I was standing in front of the canvas I had started drawing on the night. Elijah and I had that deep talk, finishing off the last details before I go hang it in his study."Of course, Elijah and Kevin knew each other before I joined in the little group, but nonetheless, the three of us were close to being brothers than any blood brothers there are out there. We were pretty tight. That being said, we assumed that Kevin knew about the life we were living. He came over to the mansion one too many times, and we also met him at other houses when we were invited to one of those fancy dinner parties. It was hard to believe that he had no idea that everything he walked on came from the web." Cane sighed before he rolled his head around to relieve the tension that was building at the back of his neck."Kevin sort of looke

    I laid in Elijah's arms, my right hand tracing soft lines against his tattooed chest, following the outline of the dark inc that was embedded into his skin. Elijah had his arms around me, his right fingers gently brushing against my skin, sending butterflies into my stomach.There was nowhere I would rather be. I felt blessed to be in his arms, to feel the love he had for me, to hear those precious words getting whispered into my ears over and over again.I never want to lose this moment, and this man.After Elijah and I had made love post his arrival to the mansion, we laid in bed as he explained what had happened while he was gone.Just as he had thought, there were close to twenty armed men and women waiting for detective Kevin to arrive with me. He was sure that they had planned to kill both the detective and I the second they had their hands on us.Dante had done as Elijah told him to do and sent well equipped men to the old church. They successfully extracted the detectives son

    Elijah Smith...I sat behind my desk, chewing over everything that had been happening in the last few days. I had been very stressed, and for some odd reason, I could tell that it was far from over.There was a tightness at the back of my neck that was refusing to let me work. I had already missed work the previous day, and it had already piled up. I only have about two hours left to get off of work, but I just couldn't help myself. I am unable to focus anymore.Letting out a sigh, I leaned back into my chair and grabbed my phone. I needed to take my mind off of the stress for a little while.I pulled up Ella's phone number and shot her a text."What are you doing?" I typed down before I sent it to her.The thought of what that old man said to me replied in my head. I felt horrible after I heard about what I had done to Ella.Whether it was intentional or not, it was still my doing that stole her voice. It still laid on my shoulders, weighing me down.When Ella had traced those

    Ella Smith...A small smile was ghosting my lips as I threw the phone over to the chair that was near the window and looked back at the cananvas that was standing tall in front of me.I felt incredibly better after texting with Elijah. I really wanted to do this. I really wanted to see if there was a possibility that I might recover my voice.Even if the checkup gives way to the answer that there was no bringing my voice back, I still wanted to try. There was nothing I was going to lose by trying it out.But there was much to gain.After what Elijah said to me the previous night, there was a need deep within my stomach to open my lips and say the three magic words to him.Tracing it on his skin or mouthing it out didn't feel as fulfilling. Signing it was definitely intimate, especially with the extra effort my husband had been putting in learning sign language to the T. With a small smile on my face, I started doing the final touches to finish the painting.I felt bad for having a

    I felt kisses all over my face.What a great way to wake up in the morning.I pealed my eyes open and glanced at my husband with a smile stretching my lips.Ah, the gorgeous smile on his face made me want to faint. I reached up and tapped my pointing finger on my lips, making Elijah chuckle.He leaned down to press his lips against mine, giving me a sweet good morning kiss."Good morning." He said after he pulled away."Good morning." I whispered in a very small voice.The smile that spread across his face was proof of how right my decision was to go through with the surgery Doctor Morgan recommended.Six months after our beautiful baby girls Violet and Rose had been born, I had decided that it was time for me to go through with the voice box treatment.As always, Elijah was super supportive, as were everyone else in the mansion.Doctor Morgan helped me with the preparations for the surgery while the doctor who would perform it flew in just for my treatment.The old doctor warned me th

    I sat tense in the back seat of the car. Elijah had his arms around me as our driver drove us to the court house.Two and a half hours had passed since I helped my husband with his necktie, and the two of us left our mansion.We did eat out just like Elijah had promised we would. I was able to force myself to relax as I was sharing breakfast with my wonderful and attentive husband, but the second I realized that it was time for us to go to the court house, I started getting nervous again.Eating such a large portion of sweet pancakes and a full glass of milk might have been a big mistake because I felt like I was going to throw up.The feeling in my chest almost felt like I was on a scary ride at the amusement park that was shooting me up to the sky before I plummeted down to the ground and then back up to repeat the same process over and over again.It was a very sickening feeling, hence, the need to throw up."Just keep holding on to me, Love. I'm here for you." Elijah said, forcing

    Ella Smith...I gently moved both of my hands over my belly, looking at the many flowers in the garden.I had a feeling of dread at the pit of my stomach at the thought of the events that are meant to take place on the very next day.It's been almost a month since Julia came to this mansion to speak to me, and ask to me drop the charges against Elizabeth. At that time, I had no idea what those charged against my twin sister were on the account of how distant and distraught I was for those days.Seeing my mother was extremely hard for me. And listening to her was ten times harder. When Elijah first told me that she was here and that he was having her sent away, something deep inside of me wanted to see her. Somehow, I just knew it would be the last time I would ever see my mother.I wanted to hear her out, not just to close a chapter in my life. There was a dumb hope in my chest that was telling me that my mother was here to apologize and maybe try to mend things. It was stupid

    "Send that woman away." I ordered the new gate guard before I hung up the phone.I closed my eyes and pinched the bridge of my nose. Ella never told me to do anything to her mother, so I wasn't sure how to approach this yet. Should I have Julia meet the same fate as her favorite daughter, or should I have her forced away from the city?With how deep in the ground the Williamson's name was, it wouldn't be that hard to deal with the very last Williamson left in this town.I heard a knock on my door, and I instantly knew it was Ella, on the accounts of how my door was open and Ella would knock to get my attention, while the rest would just call out to get my attention.I looked up and watched as she slowly walked in. I noticed her bump seemed slightly bigger than last week. She's growing every single day.I offered her my hand, which she took the second she was near me. "Who was that?" She signed once she settled on my lap. "You heard me?" I asked, to which she nodded her head. "Both

    I stopped the car in front of the widely opened front door. The sky was starting to light up as it was close, or maybe even past five in the morning. I didn't even bother to cut the engine before I pushed the door open and stumbled out of the driver's seat.I ran to the front door and rushed into the hall.I had to stop at how metallic the air smelled. Bodies laid in front of me, some being moved by our men.Kevin was the first one who caught my eyes."What the heck happened here?" I yelled at him. "Elijah..." He called out, ready to explain why there were bodies in and out of the house. But I stopped him, understanding that I couldn't care less about the dead people."Where is my wife?" I quickly asked. In the split second Kevin remained silent, unimaginable thoughts started invading my mind. In that small second, it felt like my life had flashed before my eyes.Kevin sighed."She's in the hall to the dining room. She refused to leave. She's been there for a few hours now." Kevin

    Elijah Smith...It was a blood bath.Starting from the point we discovered one of our men dead in the surveillance room, up to the point we fought our way out of the mansion, we were bathing with blood.My shoulder was killing me. I caught the bullet when we first came across the men in the surveillance room, and it was making fighting for our life ten tines harder than it needed to be.The entire Viper mansion was ringing with gun shots. I was concerned for Cane and Connor, as they were the closest to Elliot.Once we killed our way out of the mansion and back into the nasty exit, they stopped following us, which was why we had to get to the car fast so we would be able to return to the mansion to help the twins and the Vipers.All Victor wanted us to do was get his daughter out of the mansion in case he wanted to burn it down, his words, not mine.And we did just that. After taking the girl to our car, we left her there with the getaway driver and the man who was following us before

    Ella Smith...Pain exploded on my shoulder. I instinctively dropped to the ground and reached out for my left shoulder.The bullet had grazed me, but it still forced tears to my eyes.I heard Detective Kevin cuss before he shot towards the direction the bullet came from.His gun only had two rounds left, and the second it stopped firing, he stood up to cover me with his body.More shots were fired, and I was afraid the detective might have taken them for me. But one looked over my shoulder, and I saw that the shots fired were coming from the stairs, and Dalinda was the one who had the gun in her hands this time."Get out of there." She called out as Milton rushed past her to help Detective Kevin and I to move to the stairs."Miles." The detective called out before he started running back to the sitting room.The split second we were all distracted, Elizabeth shot at us again.All of us dropped to the floor. Blood spilled down the stairs, and my eyes widened as I looked up to se

    Elijah Smith...Cane decided to stay in the surveillance room to keep an eye on everyone, especially Connor and Elliot.I left two men with him and left the surveillance room with Dante and one other man, and we decided to go to the rotting rooms to find Victor's daughter. I shot him a text to let him know that our group was the closest to his daughter and that we were about to help her out, that was so he would be able to focuse on the real task at hand."You really believe this marriage will work?" I whispered to Dante as we started making our way through the halls."It better work. You two are expecting a kid now." Dante replied, forcing me to roll my eyes. "You know damn well whose marriage I'm talking about." I hissed at him."Trust me, Elijah. It will work." Dante finally replied before we came to a stop at a cornor.I looked down at my phone when a low buzz came from it and saw that there was a text from Cane."Two armed men coming your way." Was what Cane sent me.I showe

    I didn't want to take my time to think about what I was going to do. I didn't want my hesitation to cost the kid his life.I quickly dropped my eyes to my phone."Miles is goig to the stirs." I wrote down with utmost speed, making spelling errors I couldn't care to check. It didn't matter if my spelling was wrong in the text. All that mattered was that the detective understood what I was trying to say.I looked at the box showing that sitting room. A small light came from the corner, and I could tell that it was the light from the detectives phone. I could see panic on his face when the light gave away his expression.He quickly sent me a text."Stop him." I didn't hesitate for another second.I looked up at the monitor to see where little Miles was. The second I saw that he was getting closer to the hall turning to the stairs, I rushed to the door. Shoving my phone back into my pants, I fumbled with the locks and pulled the door open before I ran to the door of the room.I rushed
