There is no voice that James Belgenza hates more than the evil laughs of Gabriel Moretti, his eternal enemy. James abruptly clenched his jaw and fist at the way Gabriel called him. James was getting rage and could kill anyone right now. Grey noticed James' anger and tense expression when he received the call from Lordes. What happened? Something happened, but he could not hear anything since James was the one who took the call.
"What do you want, Moretti!" growled James with his eyes blazing with anger. Gabriel chortled loudly and kept mocking James.
"You shouldn't have to come to New York to chase after me, bastard kid! You can call, and I'll be there whenever you want," Moretti replied harshly.
"Coward… you only dared to attack me because I wasn't there! Why don't you come to face me now, and we'll sort it all out!" quipped James ragingly.
"Hahaha... oh, who do you think you are, hah! Look, J. I came to your house because I heard you keep a beaut
19.15 CET, NAPLESA taxi pulled up in front of the gates of the Belgenza mansion, and Delilah rushed out in a hurry. After she paid for the cab, Delilah immediately ran towards the fence. The guard who recognized her opened the door for her."Thank You!" said Delilah and directly ran through the way to the mansion. The guard who opened the door furrowed his brows and glanced at his companions, who were also on guard. Shouldn't Delilah be with their Master by now? Why did she come back alone?Delilah ran from the front gate through the central garden of the parking lobby near the stone steps and fountain. She only stopped for a moment to take a breath and reran a slight uphill to go up to the mansion's main entrance—several guards who later saw her approach."Miss...!" called one of them and came over. Delilah instantly put on a smiling face as if nothing had happened."Are you just coming back? Are you alone?" asked one of the guards.
It feels like time is a difficult moment right now. James kept his hands to his nose and counted the seconds he passed anxiously, but also nervous and scared. Well, fear was something James had never experienced in his life.Men like James have no idea what it feels like to have such a feeling. But now, it was starting to dominate his mind, although he didn't do anything."Sir… you'd better eat something. You haven't eaten anything yet," said Grey worriedly while staring at restless James. James then shook and rubbed his forehead."Grey... I'm scared of losing Delilah," James muttered to Grey. His breath hitched, and he lowered his head. Grey didn't reply anything other than just watching his anxiety. At the same time, Grey also felt the same way. He was afraid that Delilah would get hurt because of Moretti.There is currently no one that he can contact at the Belgenza mansion. They both felt uncomfortable, adding to the tense surroundings on the p
"Oww… leave me alone, Oliver!" Delilah adorably pushed her brother's hand when Oliver tapped a pencil on Delilah's head. She was playing with her shabby doll on the floor back in their small house in a town named Crawford. Oliver only chuckled at her but kept teasing her because she was the only sibling."Hey, don't bug your little sister, Oliver," their grandmother scolded in a soft voice. Nancy Starley was serving food to her very young granddaughter. Seven-year-old Oliver and four-year-old Delilah."What did you cook, Nana?" asked little Delilah pulling up her grandmother’s apron. Her Grandmother, Nancy, smiled and lowered her head slightly."Today, I earned a bit more money for us. So we're going to have some delicious Spaghetti and pasta.""Hooray!" Oliver and Delilah shrieked in happiness. They were jumping together beside a small dining table. They shouted with joy because their grandmother served their favorite food."Now, let'
"GET OUT OF HERE!" Fratti yelled to some of the Il Rosso fellows. Unfortunately, most of them did not have time to escape the explosion. The bomb exploded and tossed Fratti into the fountain in front of the mansion due to the strong impact. Meanwhile, Gabriel Moretti had his chance to run and jump before he hurt. He has to hide behind a giant statue in front of the building."Huh... you damn scumbag! When did he plant a bomb in that house!" BHAAMM... the explosion sounded wholly and again destroyed the entire Belgenza mansion. Moretti looked back to see the house down into pieces. It was supposed to be his property now. But it had been demolished and burned.Fratti, who suffered burns to his legs, dragged his body towards Moretti."We have to go now. Before this place is filled with the cops!" shouted Fratti. Gabriel was so aggravated and mad. He then pulled Fratti without saying anything to leave their hiding site. James managed to kill most of the Il Rosso gan
Delilah sat on the sofa while staring blankly at the balcony in front of her room. The breeze before noon caressed Delilah's hair. Delilah clasped her two fingers which were still shaking occasionally. Delilah could never forget Oliver's last reflection and smile. At his last moment, Oliver had said that he loved Delilah. It was the most affectionate moment with her brother and tore her heart. At the end of the time, Delilah has to witness the cruelness of Oliver's death. Didn't he deserve it? No. Not for Delilah.That affection radiated sincerely from Oliver's eyes as they parted for good. Delilah couldn't stand to reminiscence and ended up crying again. She covered her face with two palms and sobbed."Candy," James called, gently caressing Delilah's shoulder and sitting next to her. Delilah kept sobbing, thus allowing James to hold her in his arms tightly. James didn't say anything but cuddled and gently stroked her shoulder. His lips occasionally kissed Delilah's ti
An Audi stopped slowly near Hoston Park, east of the Ritz apartment in Manhattan. Only a few people were crossing the road in front of the park. The rest are just garden lights, and the condition of the park is tranquil; no one is there. It was dim and a bit creepy.Grey braked the car slowly and kept his eyes on the surroundings. Meanwhile, it clicked the sound of James' revolver magazine had put on, as he cocked it. His eyes were also skimming across the garden."There's the chapel, sir," pointed Grey while taking his gun along with him."Get ready, Grey. We never knew they could have some snipers here!" Grey nodded understandingly and came out of the car with James. James didn't even change his pajamas yet. He only wore shoes so he wouldn't get cold.James then coded by nodding to Grey, who detoured while walking through the dark side of the chapel. There was a slight sound of an owl nesting in one of the big trees. It watched James walk across the path to get to the church. He con
"Delilah is not a toy! I will never toss her away," answered James firmly."If she's not a toy, then what is she for you?""She is my lover!" James unhesitantly replied to him. Alberto smiled and lowered his head slightly."Is that also the name you gave to your mistresses before her? Then what happens if one day you meet the woman who is supposed to be your wife by destiny? Are you going to toss her out?" James was stunned and froze at his place. He had never thought that far."Delilah is an innocent girl. She may hate you now, but when she falls for a man like you, and you start to get bored of her innocence, you will throw her off like trash. She will be very hurt. Let her go before all that happens," added Alberto, still looking at James expectantly. James hardened his jaw. He did not want to compromise to the disguise matter of an uncertain future."Stay away from Delilah and me! Do not try to convey her on your sickness trap of lies!" threate
James leaned closer and was about to kiss Delilah. But he stopped when his face was close to her. His nose was about to touch Delilah's forehead, though he retrieved back a bit. One hand stroked Delilah's blonde hair while his eyes fixed on him, staring intensely. Delilah slept peacefully, and it was something good after all she had going through in her life recently.'Is it true that I will be bored one day? Was falling in love always ended up hurt?' James whispered through his heart. The slight smell of alcohol mixed with the scent of James' perfume made Delilah squirm a little and start to wake up."Hhhmm..." James smiled and finally kissed Delilah's cheekbones gently instead."Good morning, Candy," James mumbled as he kissed her. Delilah's eyes were fully open, and she was slightly stunned to see James. James also raised his face and gazed up at her beautiful bare face. His lips carved a small smile, but Delilah didn't send him back the same smile.
Delilah had severe contractions within an hour of being taken to the hospital. James had no time to change his pajamas, which didn't match his top. But never mind; James doesn't care about his appearance anymore. He often appears to no longer match his attire. There was one time when he actually wore sandals to the lobby and prepared to get into the car to go to the office. Luckily, none of the employees dared to laugh at him at all.This time, he will officially become a father. Grey, who was also in alert mode, was forced to jump out of bed in the early hours of the morning because Delilah's water broke. Lenora didn't want to come because she was still sleepy, so she let Grey go.Now in the treatment room and waiting for the perfect opening, Delilah hugged James while standing with Grey, who also stood up, stroking Delilah's back."AHHH!" Delilah screamed in pain when the contraction occurred again. James could only continue to hug and calm his wife, but in fa
The trip to Los Angeles takes less than two hours from New York. Initially, they all went to the hospital to visit Aidan. The hospital was full of Aidan Caesar's family. In the end, only a few people were allowed into Malikha's treatment room.James and Bryan chose to wait outside for a while until Arjoona, Jayden, Mars, and Shawn came back in after seeing Aidan's condition."How is she?" James asked a little impatiently."Still under treatment. I think the baby will be born soon; Aidan will be staying with her," answered Joona, and James nodded in understanding."Let's just wait!"Outside, Jayden then asked Erikson and Grey to take all the children of The Seven Wolves, along with their nanny, to the booked hotel. Meanwhile, the parents will wait in the family waiting room. They rented a luxury hotel for all the family members who would stay with Aidan."Uncle Grey, where are we going?" Rei asked Grey, who accompanied him, to escort the chil
James occasionally glanced at Delilah and Shawn, who were just sitting and watching the campfire in front of him."Why isn't this over? It's been almost two years since we killed Kanishka. Why isn't he dead yet?" said Aidan, still adamant. Jayden, who heard the whispers, then approached."Kanishka is dead. But his son is not," Jayden said to Aidan. Aidan let out an annoyed breath. He looked at Shawn, who continued to stare at his wife and then occasionally looked down."Does he know?" Arjoona nodded."He's the first to confirm this," Joona answered, turning to Shawn and then to Jayden."So Kiran has a brother?""Exactly. It's a sibling who hates her so much. Kiran is the unlawful daughter of Kanishka's mistress, while Rohan is Kanishka's son from his legal wife," Jayden added."His name is Rohan." Jayden nodded."He's MIT's best graduate. genius; his IQ is equal to or more than Joona. He's more dangerous than Mars and the creat
"READY... FIRE!" military salute gunshots at Lieutenant Blue Handerson's funeral. Troops under the command of former Admiral Shawn Miller, Blue's superior during his time in the United States Navy, paid their final respects.All members of The Seven Wolves took part in the funeral ceremony and stood with their mates, except Jayden and Aidan.For James, who still had injuries on his busting face, he could only put one arm around Delilah. He and all members of The Seven Wolves have agreed to no longer be involved in any ambushes.The police have destroyed all of The Seven Wolves' recorded activities and secrets. At least for now, they may feel safe.After the funeral, the Seven Wolves threw a brunch for all the mourners. Grey Hunter appears to be sitting alone. His eyes were still looking at James and Delilah, who were sitting with Mars and Vanylla, still chatting with each other.It was seen that James didn't let go of his hug at all to Delilah. Occ
Aidan gave Grey a code to move to chase the group of gangsters who were about to escape through the underground tunnel. He half-ran, panting, then pressed himself against the damp tunnel wall.His eyes then peeked out from behind the wall and saw a large container truck in the middle of the tunnel mouth. He turned around and whispered to Aidan, who was also pressing his back against the tunnel wall."They're going to escape. We've reached the end of the tunnel!" Grey whispered, and Aidan nodded. He turned and ran back to his group. Shawn's bleeding had stopped, but he was still half-supported by Juan leaning against the wall."They're going to run away. There's a container in the way," said Aidan, breathlessly giving a report to Shawn. Shawn nodded in understanding and called the rest of the team over."We will attack. They cannot escape!" said Shawn, giving his order. Soon, Grey came back and joined."It's bad; they're taking hostages. There's a w
All members of The Seven Wolves have changed clothes and put on all their equipment. They will be disguised in all-black SWAT police attire with helmets. Of the 16 people, the Seven Wolves have four main snipers: Aidan, Shawn, Blake, and Erikkson. The three reserve shooters are Mars, Grey, and Bryan. The five sharp weapons and martial arts specialists are Jayden, Han, Glenn, Blue, and Juan. The strategy and tactics specialists are Arya, Caleb, and James, while Arjoona will lead and guide the entire team."Everyone gather; I will divide our team!" Arjoona was ordered to come forward in front of all the members."We will ambush from four different directions, and one of the SWAT members will be there to help each group as a guide. We will all work together. Our main goal is to free the hostages, as the police will divert attention so we can get in.""The first group is Shawn, Jayden, Grey, and Arya; you will enter through the eastern water tunnel near the Bronson,
James' kiss on Delilah's cheek made her slowly open her eyes while sleeping. One of James' hands then reached forward and caressed Delilah's belly bump. Since 23 weeks of pregnancy, Delilah has been sleeping on her side more often.Delilah turned around slowly, and James' sweet smile greeted Delilah's nap."Are you home?" Delilah asked in a soft voice with a smile on her lips. James just smiled, and his other hand stroked Daelilah's hair. He hadn't even taken off his jacket at all."How's my candy today?" James replied in a gentle tone too. His lips then kissed the tip of Delilah's nose, and he smiled again."I get sleepy quickly," replied Delilah, then chuckled slightly and joined in stroking James' arm."You'd better change your clothes first; they'll get wrinkled," Delilah scolded, but James ignored her and got closer. He started kissing Delilah's cheek and neck. Delilah giggled when she found her husband's consistently spoiled behavior.
Grey Hunter had just finished his work and came home a little tired. His and Lenora's relationship has indeed returned to normal, although it is no longer as passionate as before. Lenora seemed to keep her distance from Grey. He didn't want to be hurt again and chose not to pay too much attention to Grey. It seemed like she was afraid of falling too deeply in love with him.After standing for a few seconds with sleepy eyes in front of the elevator, Grey turned to the left and saw Delilah coming out of the elevator with Blaze together. It looked like she was going out of the Ritz with her dog for a walk.Grey's instinct to pay attention to Delilah wasn't working well. He actually followed back and called her name."Miss Delilah!" Delilah suddenly turned and smiled."Hi, Grey!" Delilah waved at Grey, who was walking quickly towards her."Hi, Miss, Where are you going?" Grey asked as he stood in front of Delilah and smiled at her."I just want
The longer Delilah's pregnancy lasts, the more beautiful and sexy she looks. And James increasingly couldn't be distant from his wife. Starting in the second month of Delilah's pregnancy, James took his wife everywhere. Despite the doctor's long-standing advice to avoid traveling long distances by plane or land, James instead brought in a special obstetrician for Delilah so she could calm down. And when they were alone, James never stopped touching Delilah.Although Delilah's pregnancy hormones were significantly higher than they had been the previous month, her personal doctor once again forbade James from engaging in excessive sexual activity."You could hurt her; the semen in your sperm could cause her to miscarry!" said Delilah's personal doctor, warning James for the umpteenth time. James snorted in annoyance and was already half-sulking."Is there no other way?" James grumbled with a sullen face."You can just find another doctor. I really can't sta
