[A/N: Hello reader! if you've read this far into my book, I'd like you to know that I really appreciate the time you put into this. Thank you so much, and don't forget to drop a review to encourage more frequent updates.]Brandon's POVI heard approaching footsteps from behind me, and I fired my gun in that direction, without turning to look. I heard the body drop to the ground, with a pained groan. Nobody sneaks up on the Iron Wolf!From the look of things, Juan knew I would be coming after him. I'd even say he wanted me to come after him, probably because he suddenly got overly confident in his new found "power".I shot again at another one of his men, who approached from a nearby entrance. They just keep coming like flies, and luckily enough for me, I was quite an effect repellant. It would take more than a couple bozos in suits to take me down."You know, you can't hide in there forever!" I spoke up, my voice echoing right through the entire building. I was willing to bet that on
Danielle's POV"Woah! You own this?" Oliver asked in awe, as he gaped at the massive, private jet before us. "And a chopper." Brandon replied him, a smug aura around him, as he winked at me. I rolled my eyes at his antics."No wayyy!" Oliver exclaimed, running towards the jet, while one of Brandon's men followed behind him, with his few luggage."Ollie!" I tried to call after him, but he was way too excited, not even bothering to look back for a second.I turned around to glare at Brandon, who was chuckling in amusement. Gosh! How can one be so full of himself?"Let the kid be, Mia Cara! You're not his mother." He said to me."Our mother is dead, Brandon." I deadpanned, turning around to walk away from him, but he suddenly held me back."Did I ever tell you how hot you look, when you're mad at me?" His deep, husky voice made my face heat up."I'm not mad at you, I'm ... unimpressed." I retorted, looking away from his piercing eyes."Mmm...we can do something about that!" He mumbled,
Danielle's POVThe journey lasted for about three hours, but I couldn't be quite precise, because I had slept through most of it.I opened my eyes to see Brandon grinning down at me, and teasing me about being a sleepyhead.We soon got off the jet, with me grumbling about how I didn't get enough sleep. Brandon's jet was now parked in a very large hangar, that happened to house a couple other planes and jets. On a farther side of the hangar, was some sort of field filled with beautiful, wild flowers. My eyes lit up, as they took in the beautiful scenery, and I found myself itching to run right into it. I could practically smell the beautiful, flowery scent from here."You like?" Brandon asked, as we walked towards me, throwing on a loose shirt.I nodded my head at him in response, still so allured by vast, beautiful field."Go on, then." He said, gesturing for me to make a run towards the field."What? No!" I let out an awkward laughter, shaking my head at the absurdness of what he wa
Danielle's POVAunt Mallory really hadn't changed much. She was still that grumpy, lonely woman, we had always remember her to be. However, she always had a soft spot for Oliver. I guess it was because of her tragic past.She used to be an officer in the Las Vegas police department, until she was dismissed for allegedly murdering someone. Those were some dark moments of her life, because Aunt Mallory slowly became a different, broodier version of herself. She was a single mother, and she decided to relocate to Ohio with her only son, who later died of cancer.So, I wasn't too surprised when she agreed to let Oliver stay with her. Las Vegas wasn't really safe for him right now, wether we were under Brandon's protection or not."So... what's this thing I hear about you being involved with some... billionaire?" Aunt Mallory asked, as her assisted her in making dinner in her kitchen.I let out a groan, turning around to glare at my big mouth brother, who was grinning at me from the dining
Danielle's POV"What the hell, Aunty?!" I yelled furiously at my aunt, who was just relaxed on her seat.The dinner with Brandon was a total disaster, because apparently, my aunt didn't approve of me being involved with a "notorious mafia boss" like him. Turned out she knew Brandon the whole time."There's no way you're going back to Las Vegas with him." She said in a tone of finality, and I found myself struggling to keep my temper in check. "You can not stop me!" I seethed."You have no control over what I do with my life, and who I see!" Aunt Mallory seemed upset by my words, but tried to keep a straight face. "You know who else said that?" She suddenly asked, taking me by surprise. I frowned, waiting for her to continue."Yes, that's right. Your late mother!" She said, raising her voice an octave higher."I was against her marrying your father, from the very beginning. Now where is he?" I felt my eyes tear up at her words, not liking the turn out of the argument at all."What
Danielle's POVI tossed and turned on the king-sized bed, unable to get some sleep for hours now. Brandon picked me up like I asked, and I found out he had been staying at a five star suite, here in Ohio. I wondered why that didn't surprise me.The place was luxurious and exquisite, as expected. It seemed to be a little more...homely, and I loved it. However, while I was lying on the bed, Brandon seemed to be either preoccupied with typing away on his computer, or making boring, business call. Jeez! He just never takes a break!I stared at him, as he was sat at a working desk, a few feet away from where I lay. He had his shirtless back to me, and I let my eyes roam greedily, drinking up the appearance of his perfectly sculpted structure. Brandon was a fucking eye candy, and there was just something even hotter about him, when he's buried in work.I bit my lips, as dirty thoughts began to run through my head. Slowly, I brought my hands down to squeeze my breasts, flicking my nipples an
Danielle's POVThe hardest part about coming back to Las Vegas, was leaving my little brother behind. Oliver wasn't too happy about not having me around, but I guess he understood why it had to be like that.Brandon got him a tablet, so we could always FaceTime each other, when needed. Aunt Mallory still wasn't happy about me leaving with Brandon, and she didn't fail to hide her displeasure.I remember walking out of her kitchen, to see her glaring daggers at a smug looking Brandon. She must have dropped a threat or two, and Brandon was just being his usual, cocky self.The flight back to Vegas was relatively better, as I was awake the whole time. It's been over a week since then, and things were pretty much ...normal."Hey! Um...you prepared for our final exams?" Sam asked, snapping me back to the present.We were seated at our usual spot in the school library, flipping through pages of different textbooks."Can't really be prepared enough." I mumbled, before letting out a yawn."Yea
Brandon's POVLately, I've been having this strong urge to impress Danielle, and I just didn't know why. Maybe it was because of the fact that she had been ignoring so many red flags, just to be with me. It was like I was strangely becoming used to having her around, and I wanted to do everything possible to make her stay.I admit I could be a dick sometimes, but there was just something about her that made me want to be... better? I didn't really know what was going on with me, but I knew it all had something to do with her.Her bright, hazel eyes and radiant smile, the way the tendrils of her beautiful, brown hair, cascaded down her face, the sound of her laughter and giggles, as she sat across from me at the table reserved for us. They were a few other people in the restaurant with us, but somehow, they all seemed to be lost in my peripheral vision. Danielle was my main focus, and I stared at her unabashedly. I got her the sexy, evening gown she was putting on, but I still couldn'
Danielle's POVHe came back to me! Brandon came back to me, after six months in a coma, after six months of helplessly waiting for a miracle. He made my nightmares disappear with just his presence."Momma!" My four years old son exclaimed, right before hugging my legs. From the looks of it, he went fishing again with his father.He looked up at me with his big, hazel eyes, and that was all I needed to confirm my suspicion. "Did you go fishing with your father again?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at him."Um...Aurora also came with us?" He confessed, making me roll my eyes, before bending down to meet his height."I wasn't going to punish you, Austin!" I said, making him sigh visibly in relief."Come on! Go ahead and call your sister. Dinner is almost ready." I told him, ruffling his hair fondly.My son's eyes grew even wider, and his face went a bit pale. It was like he suddenly remembered something that scared the hell out of him."What is it, Austin?" I asked, as he suddenly held o
A/N: Alright, readers! Since we're coming to the end of this book, allow me to present y'all with a happy chapter, lol! I promise you won't be mad this time.]Danielle's POVThe beeping of different monitors and his steady breathing, were the only sounds that kept me company. It's been what? Six months since I last looked into his vibrant, blue eyes.My stomach was now bigger, as I was slowly nearing my delivery date. However, I didn't think I could do any of that without him, without Brandon.I let out a sniffle, like I had been doing for over a million times, taking his large hand in my smaller ones, and squeezing lightly."There you are, Danny! Come on and have your bath now!" Aunt Mallory called out from the doorway. Her and Oliver had come all the way from Ohio, as soon as they heard of Brandon's... incident. They've been keeping me company ever since."I don't want to!" I answered her stubbornly, not wanting to take my eyes off Brandon's unconscious body, even for a moment. He w
Danielle's POV:I didn't realize I'd stopped running, until someone grabbed me by my wrist, and my eyes widened in terror. It was that Calaveros man from earlier; Diaz."Where do you think you're going?" He grinned sinisterly at me, before attempting to drag me off to the direction of their minivan.I started yelling, punching, kicking and scratching as much as I could, but it only seemed to anger him, as he kept tugging at my wrist. I let out a gasp, as a bullet suddenly went through his head, splattering blood all over my face. I watched him fall to the ground with a thud, and I turned around to look for who fired the shot. It was Micheal, and he kept gesturing for me to keep running towards the car.Looking down at the corpse before me again, I suppressed the urge to gag. He had a gun on him, and I bent down to take it from his lifeless hand. I'd seen men using guns before, so it shouldn't be too hard for me, right?Brandon was now clearly winning, as he stood over Sam, who was br
Danielle's POVA fight to the death? What the hell was he thinking? What sort of barbaric, mafia tradition is that? Why is it even a thing?I was suddenly dragged down from the vehicle I'd been boarding, and my eyes immediately started searching for Brandon. We were now on some sort of old, abandoned bridge, and armed Calaveros men were everywhere. I was yet to spot Brandon, even as Sam slowly emerged from behind me. He was shirtless, giving me a much clearer view of his tattoo adorned body. I glared at him."What's the matter, Dee? Nervous?" He smirked at me.I made a move to lunge at him with an attack, but one of his men was quick enough to hold me back, making me groan out in frustration."You won't get away with any of this. I promise you!" I threatened. In that moment, I had finally realized what Sam truly is, who he truly is; an enemy!A minivan finally arrived at the bridge, and all attention were on it. Immediately it stopped, Brandon came out from the back, wincing slightly
Danielle's POVWith one arm around my neck, Sam forcefully dragged me along, towards the noise of the ongoing gun battle. He had a gun pointed to my head, which he used to threaten me to move. I struggled as much as I could, while he just kept laughing like some evil villain."No matter.... what...you do.." I managed to say, as his arms were literally choking me.He loosened up, when he realized I was saying something, and I took that opportunity to gasp for breath, before speaking."No matter what you do, Sam. I'll never love you." I spat at him.For a moment, I thought I saw the old Sam, the one I'd always trusted. His eyes widened in an emotion that resembled... regret? He was however quick to get rid of the look, as soon as it came."This isn't about you, anymore." He seethed, tightening his hold on my neck again and dragging me along.I continued to struggle against his hold, as I we moved closer to the direction of the gunfight.Soon, we were in some sort of courtyard, which w
Brandon's POV"I'm sorry Brandon, I should have told you earlier." Those were her last words, before Sam snatched the phone from her. He wasn't lying about her carrying my child. How could I be so careless and stupid?"Boss...it's a trap. You can't just go like that?" Micheal said to me, suddenly coming to stand in my way, as I had been moving towards my car."Move!" I growled at him, but he wouldn't budge. The rest of my men just stood, watching us in silence."You're not thinking straight, right now." Micheal complained."Of course I'm not. Didn't you hear that bastard? He has my family and he's threatened to harm them if I don't show up!" I yelled right into Micheal's face."He's trying to goad you!" Micheal argued."What will you have me do, then?" I yelled even louder."Will you prefer that I let them die?" "That's not what I said." Michael said, his voice cracking. I knew my words struck a nerve. His own family had been murdered in front of him, a long time ago. It was a very
Brandon's POVI was looking right at the scene before me, but I was too afraid to accept what might have happened. There was need for a closer inspection.This was obviously one of my cars, and it was destroyed almost beyond recognition. My legs moved me faster towards the scene, as I feared the worst. Anissa and Danielle aren't in there, right?"This is bad!" One of my men said, as he approached me, Micheal following right behind me.My men had found this scene first, in their search for Anissa and Danielle, who were supposed to be on their way to join me for tonight's date. They contacted me, and I had begun running here, as fast as I could."We found two bodies, boss. They are badly burnt, but we were still able to save what we can." Micheal announced, making me hold my breath for a second. He just said "two bodies"!"Let me see them." I grunted, shoving Micheal out of my way, as I advanced towards the scenery. It wouldn't be long before the cops show up, so we needed to be quick h
Danielle's POVPanic coursed through me, as Sam finally closed the gap between us. I found myself backing away from him and turning around to make a run for it. All my warning bells were ringing like crazy, and I knew something unpleasant was about to happen.I instinctively ran towards Anissa, who had been standing there all along. I tried to drag her along with me, but she suddenly pushed me to the ground with one swift motion, leaving me more stunned than terrified.I now had beach sand all over my face, as I raised up my head to look at her. I searched her eyes, and I was taken aback by the look of indifference in them. She looked down at me with so much coldness, I couldn't recognize her anymore. That was when I started making sense of what was happening."I've done what you asked." She said, finally facing Sam, who had a gleeful look in his eyes."You wanted her, she's here." Anissa said again, pointing at me, as I remained in my spot, too stunned to move."I can see that!" Sam
Danielle's POVTonight I was finally going to let Brandon know. I was going to let him know that I was carrying his child; our child.I already had a whole week to think about it and now I was convinced that telling him might not be such a bad idea, afterall. The possibility of starting a family with him, got me so excited and I just couldn't wait.I looked at my reflection in the mirror with so much joy, thinking about the many things that had happened in my life to bring me right to this very moment. My hands instinctively reached out to touch my stomach, rubbing it soothingly, as my smile widened.I still couldn't believe that there was a new life forming inside me. It made me look at life in a whole new perspective and I just wished Brandon would see things the same way too."Now that's one hell of a dress." Anissa said softly, as she emerged from behind me.She had been the one taking care of me more closely than any other member of Brandon's staff. She was very protective of me
