I leaned my head against Elijah's shoulder. The two of us were sitting in the back seat of the car, with one of the guards driving us to the mansion.

Elijah had his right arm around me, holding me close to him. He would once in a while press a kiss against the top of my head, showing me affection with no words.

Cilvia and I had waited for Elijah and Cane in the private hospital room. Elijah came back a few minutes after Cane left, and he didn't say much about the man he almost caught.

I was startled when I saw a small cut on his right cheek, and Elijah told me that the man caught his a bit with his knife. But Elijah said he did more damage on the man, slicing his side and arm with his own blade.

The man ended up running through a busy traffic, disappearing amongst the many cars, which swallowed his limping figure.

Elijah had no other choice but to return to us. One thing he said stood out to me, though, and it was that Elijah found the man who attacked Cilvia right at that spot, look

    I stood in front of my canvas, absently dragging the paint brush across the surface of the white material. Elijah's voice constantly rang in my ears, reminding me that there was a doctor out there who thought I could possibly regain my voice.Was it dumb of me to hold it off?My fear of having to go through an examination only to be told that it was a mistake, and I would never be able to speak again, stopped me from making a decision now.I slightly shook my head, not wanting to let the thought disturb me at the moment. All I wanted to do was sit in silence and let myself get lost in the different shades of paint colors."What are you thinking about that much?" Suzan Harber whispered as she leaned closer to me.I moved my eyes to her before I shot her a soft smile."Nothing important." I signed.I glanced at her canvas and smiled when I saw a field of bright colored flowers."What do you think?" She asked. "I might not be a professional like you, but I think I did pretty good." She a

    "I found nothing. That man just disappeared into the traffic. No other camers caught him after that. It's like he evaporated or something." Cane reported with frustration blaring in his voice.Elijah, Dalinda, Milton, Cane, and I sat at the dining table. I looked at Cane and saw that he was close to flipping out. He didn't just look like he was upset because he couldn't find the man who attacked and almost killed Cilvia. It looked like he was upset for a personal reason, like he needed to catch that man to find something out.The little piece of paper he found in Cilvia's handbag kept returning to me. I realized that not once did Cane make a comment on that. I've been curious about it all day and night, but it seems Cane didn't want to share it with us.All I could recall about it was that little foot in the torn piece of paper that I was it belonged to a photo.I wondered if Cane even mentioned it to Elijah.Cane must have had a reason as to why he was this bothered, but I guess he

    Elijah Smith...I wasn't frozen because Ella was signing too fast, and I couldn't understand her. I understood her very clearly.My lessons with Cane and constantly having been around my wife have been improving my understanding of sign language.What made me freeze and stare at her blanky was the timing she signed about."It happened six years ago." That was what Ella had signed before she mistook my silence as me not catching her words and rushing into the walk-in closet to get her little pink notebook.My mind was running a million thoughts persecond. My insides were twisting at the possibility of the thought that took over my head.No.I shook my head, refusing to let my mind make me think that it was possible."It happened six years ago." Her words kept coming back to me.Six years ago. It stood out to me. Six years ago was when...My train of thought was cut short when Ella dropped herself on the edge of the bed next to me.Her innocent bright blue eyes gazed at me before

    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 had to call in someone I know from t

    "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

    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
