Captive Affair Chapter 48
•KINLEY•By the time my bare feet touched the asphalt of abroad I was exhausted.My feet were red with cuts and raw patches. I was filthy. My hands were still cuffed and my mouth was extremely dry.The sun had gone down a while ago and I wasn't even sure if it was still night or early morning.The road was empty with no sign of cars.Grateful to be out of the trees, I sat down on the side of the road, wincing at the aches and pains running through my body.The plan had been to walk until I was able to get to safety, but with the way my body was feeling I doubted I would be able to make it very gar at all.I was exhausted and my feet hurt from all the walking and running amongst rocks and twigs. It was too dark to tell the extent of the damage done to my feet, but I could feel the open wounds.I laid back against the tree behind me and let out a slow breath, trying to decipher what my next move should be. At the moment, the best idea seemed to be to stay in one place and wait for someo

•KINLEY•As I opened my eyes, the first thing I noticed was how something heavy was holding both of my arms down.The next was that it was Gianni and Luca, both seemingly fas asleep beside the bed, half on top of my arms.I smiled at the sight of the two of them, my heart bursting with joy. I loved how Luca was here too. He was someone who I knew was a true friend."Guys? Hey? Can everyone wake up?" Luca jumped to his feet first, disoriented but ready to attack, his reaction was slightly comical.Gianni opened his eyes and frowned, "Luca, what are you doing, man?""I think I gave him a fright." As I spoke, both of them spun towards me, as if they were noticing I was awake for the first time."Gattina, you're okay!" He pulled me into a hugs and I winced at the pain it caused."Yeah, I wouldn't say I'm okay.""What did they do to you?" Gianni asked."And how the hell did you get away?" Luca added."They kept me locked in a room. Sometimes cuffed. Jade put out cigarettes on my legs. I

•KINLEY•After leaving the hospital I was beginning to feel a bit better.Luca had fetched me, but instead of taking me home, he took me to a street with fancy, and expensive, boutiques."Why are we here?""Gianni instructed me to bring you here. He wants you to get something for his surprise tonight."I had almost forgotten about his surprise."Is this really necessary?"Luca shrugged, "You know how Gianni is.""What is this big surprise?"Luca shook his head, "Can't tell you or it won't be a surprise. And if I ruin it, he will have my head.""Let's go shopping then, I guess?"I had never really enjoyed shopping so I browsed quickly before choosing a white dress, my feet we healing but I didn't think heels would be a very good idea until they were completely healed so I chose a pair of flat sandals."That was the quickest I've ever seen a woman shop." Luca commented as we were leaving the store."I hate shopping. It gets me annoyed."Luca glanced at his watch, "Gianni is in meetings

•TALON•"She agrees to shopping together." Billie spoke. We were walking in the garden, waiting for Gianni and Kinley to return."I told you she would be easy to manipulate. She's just too busy trying to be nice." I shook my head at the thought."Did you have something to do with what happened to Luca?" She asked me with a raised brow.I smirked, "He was a problem, he was getting a little too cocky. He needed to be taken down a notch.""You could have killed him, Talon!""Well, if he doesn't take the warning, next time I will." I could see the look in her eyes. She was scared of me. I smiled, a rush of excitement running through my veins at the thought. A strong and powerful woman like Billie being scared of me excited me, it turned me on.I stepped forward, grabbing her wrist and pulling her closer to me, "What's wrong? Do I scare you?"She held my gaze, "No. I fear no man... It's more like disgust.""You're a terrible liar, Billie."She pulled her hand free from my grasp and pit s

•KINLEY•"Do you know the baby's gender?" I asked Billie while we walked around the store."No, I wanted to leave it as a surprise.""This is cute," I lifted a newborn onesie with animal prints on it, "I know we're meant to be getting stuff for the nursery, but you can never have enough clothes, right?"Billie nodded and took it from me, "True, they grow out of things so quickly!"We browsed the shop for a while longer, picking out a crib and a few other things for the nursery. Billie said she would be hiring a professional painter to do the baby's room but wanted my input on the colours and designs.Again, I found this sudden turn around of her attitude to be a bit strange, and I was sure Talon had something to do with this."I'm always starving these days! Lunch by the beach?" She asked as we left the store."Sure, I don't have anything else to do. I have to stop by the club later though.""I can come with you? It's rather lonely being me, I'm sure you can imagine.""Yeah, I don't m

•KINLEY•I was seated at the dinner table with Gianni and Talon. I wanted to speak to Gianni alone about Billie moving in, but it seemed Talon was trying to push the topic. It seemed to me that he was trying to create tension between the two of us."So, does Billie still want to move in?" He asked.Gianni sighed and shoved a forkful of sinner into his mouth."She does. I asked her to have a look at the cottage today. It might be a good fit for her." Gianni looked over at me, "You had her look at the cottage?"I nodded, "Yes. I figured that the cottage would be better than having her in the house with us."Gianni placed his fork down, "You want her to move in?""It would be easier if she was here for you to be part of the pregnancy and the child's life instead of going between places.""There will need to be rules in place so she doesn't think she can just take over." Gianni said.I rolled my eyes, "Gianni, come on. She's a human being carrying your child. How about we treat her as su

•KINLEY•Billie had moved into the cottage a few days prior, and the two of us were in the mansion, in the room where we were doing the nursery.Gianni had agreed to have one nursery in the main house, and one for Billie in the cottage.The room had been painted a light green with brightly coloured alphabets and animals painted along the walls.Between the two of us we had just rolled out the fluffy mat on top of the carpet."It all seems so much more real now that we're doing the nursery." Billie said."Yeah. Time goes by really quickly, before you know it the baby will be here."She nodded, "I'm so excited.""Hello, ladies. Having fun?" Talon asked as he walked in.I didn't notice the way Billie's body language changed from calm to tensed at his arrival."We're doing okay." I answered, Billie was busying herself with folding and packing baby clothes into the chest of drawers.Talon looked around the room, "It's pretty. Has Gianni even bothered to have a look at it?"Billie shrugged

•KINLEY•I was feeling oddly needy tonight. Gianni was beside me in the VIP lounge of yet another club, speaking to large men in suits about all sorts of things that I would rather not have heard about.I was extremely bored and craving attention. Gianni kept a firm hand on my thigh, but the girls who had come in with the other men seemed to be having a great time. They were drinking and laughing together while they danced.And here I was, glued to Gianni's side. I finished my drink and leaned into Gianni, "I'm going to get another drink." He frowned at me, but I got up and walked out, knowing it would annoy him. I went over to the bar and ordered myself another drinking, turning to watch the rest of the club dancing to the music.A firm hand clamped down on my wrist and I turned into the face of Agent King."Get your hand off of me. Or so help me, I will make sure every mafia member in this club knows who you are."He smirked but let go of my wrist, "We need to talk, Kinley. I want

Captive Affair Epilogue
•GIANNI•"Where the hell is Renato? That kid is always late to something."Kinley chuckled, "He texted me, he's just picking up his girlfriend."I shook my head, he had been talking about this girlfriend for a while now but we had yet to meet her.Today was the big day.I looked over at Luca standing in front of the barbecue.Ripley was sitting busy typing on her phone. I couldn't believe both of my kids had grown up and I had been blessed enough to see them grow.If Fin and Luca hadn't done what they did for me, I may not have had the privilege of having these years to watch my son and daughter grow into a man and woman.We invited Fin for this barbecue, but he was away undercover for work so he wasn't able to make it.I looked over at Kinley and my mind went back to that night all those years ago at the shipping yard.She had run over to me in such a panic when she heard those gunshots. She thought I was shot.In actual fact, it was Fin who shot one of the men guarding Martha.After

•KINLEY•I pulled my phone out while telling Luca the truth about what I had been up to with Hilton.Now that I was aware of the reason he was doing what he was, I was sure we could still trust him.We just needed to help him make sure Martha was safe."Who are you calling?""Fin. I have an idea that will help all of us.""Kinley? Do you have news?""I do. But I need you to meet me, and get Gianni here too." I gave him the location and hung up."Gianni is going to skin me alive, why are you bringing them here? I trusted you with this.""You trusted me for a reason, Luca. You know we would never let anything happen to Martha. I just wish you would have told us what was going on sooner. A lot of this mess could have been avoided.""Kinley, they have my wife. I couldn't risk her life. I don't even want to do this right now. If they kill her-""They won't, okay? Trust us, please."Luca looked around as if he was worried someone was looking at us, "If they find out that I'm telling you, th
Captive Affair Chapter 131
•KINLEY•"So? What's the plan here?"Gianni was already in planning mode, "We tap his phone. I'll put someone on him to follow him. We can go to him with these calls, but he can play it down without any real evidence. Once we have evidence, we confront him."Fin nodded, "Got it, I'll get the tap, you have someone follow him."Gianni nodded, "Sounds good. I'll get onto that immediately. Kinley, I don't want you leaving the house unless it's with me. Understood?"I nodded, but I had no plan of listening. I still had to meet with Hilton and see if I could find anything out.I glanced at Fin and he looked away from me, he knew what I was thinking about, I could see it by the way he looked at me.Now I needed a plan to get out of the house without Gianni stopping me.And knowing Gianni, that wasn't going to be easy.I got to my feet and walked out, going downstairs where I found Luca about to leave. "Where are you off to?" I asked, fighting the urge to attack him in anger."Got a lead." H

•KINLEY•With the baby bottle in hand, I made my way to the kitchen, pausing just outside the doorway when I heard Luca on a call."Well, she didn't say a damn word to me about being there okay? No, I'm telling you the truth. I'll do my best, but I'm not making any promises. Yes, I know. Thanks for the reminder." I walked in just as he turned to look at me."I'll call you back, Martha," he cut the call and smiled at me, "Gianni on daddy duty?""Yeah. What's up? That sounded serious?""Oh, uh," he looked down at his phone with a frown, "Martha. She has some issues with her sister that she wants me to help with. She's, uh, getting herself involved with the wrong crowd.""Oh no, I hope it works out. Do you want me to talk to Gianni to give you some time off to sort things out?""No, it's nothing that serious. I just need to find out if she was at that cop bar near the precinct last night with her boyfriend."I frowned, "Cop bar? I thought you said she was involved with the wrong crowd?"
Captive Affair Chapter 129
•KINLEY•I sat in the courtroom biting my nails while waiting to hear if the judge was going to allow Gianni back out on bail while the investigation was ongoing, or if he would be remanded.Fin and King were seated beside me, Luca near the back.Billie was at the mansion watching the kids.I breathed a sigh of relief when the judge said Gianni could have bail.It was a large amount, but I knew we had it.I rushed to Luca to arrange the payment and waited outside with Fin and King for it to be taken care of."At least he's coming home," Fin said.I nodded, "Yeah. But we still have to pinpoint who it is behind this, and a way to stop it."Fin started pacing, "Detective Hilton is trying to take down the big fish like Gianni to exhilarate his career. I bet that if we put enough pressure on him, we can make this all go away.""But is he the type to let it all go away?" I asked.King shrugged, "If we find the sweet spot, yes. And they all have a sweet spot. We just have to find his."I nod

•KINLEY• "You should go home and get some sleep," Luca suggested. I curled my legs under me on the hard steel chair, "Not until they let me speak to him." "Kinley, come on. We can come back." "I don't want to go anywhere until I've seen him," I looked at my watch, "We've been here for hours. How long is this going to take?" "It takes as long as it takes. They may not even allow you to see him at all until he goes to the judge." "I don't get it. Barney has been dead for months. Why now? So long after his death. How did he rig it up to get the information about Talon sent to them? He was barely even involved in what happened. How did he even have the proper information?" Luca shifted uncomfortably in his chair, "Kin, this is not the best place to talk about that. Can we go across the street?" I looked in the direction of the interrogation room, "Yeah. Let's go. I could use another cup of coffee." We went across the street and ordered coffee, I also ordered a toasted cheese sandw
Captive Affair Chapter 127
•KINLEY• I grinned triumphantly, Ripley had finally fallen asleep. Until Luca barged in, that is. "Kinley!" I turned to glare at him, "Could you shut up? I just got her to sleep." "That's going to be the least of your worries. Gianni was just arrested." "What?" I was almost sure I hadn't heard him correctly. "They barged in here with a warrant of arrest. Some new guy trying to make a name for himself." "What was he arrested for?" "Murder. Of Talon." This was getting more ridiculous by the second. "Excuse me? But that was ages ago. How would they even know about that?" "It looks like Barney was looking out for himself right to the end. He rigged it so that all the information was sent to this detective if anything happened to him." "That doesn't make any sense. Barney has been dead for months. Almost a year." Luca shrugged, "That's all I know. Why don't you go down to the station and I'll get a lawyer to meet you. When Billie's up and watching the kids I'll come down there
Captive Affair Chapter 126
~A FEW MONTHS LATER~ •KINLEY• My eyes were blindfolded as Gianni guided my steps. "If something jumps out at me, I swear I'll kill you!" I threatened playfully, one hand on my large belly. "Relax, nothing is going to jump out at you." He stopped, his hands on my shoulders, "Okay, take off the blindfold." I whipped off the blindfold and gasped, my hands going to my mouth in shock at what I was looking at. We stood in the front yard of the mansion which had burnt down. Only now it was rebuilt. "You had it rebuilt?" I couldn't believe it. "Yes. That's what I've been busy with for the last eight months. I know you've been wondering why I've been so secretive." My eyes filled with tears as I was overwhelmed by emotions. I spun around and wrapped my arms around his neck, "Thank you!" "Anything for you, baby. There are a few changes, like Renato's room. And the nursery for Ripley when she's born. I've also made sure the place is baby and toddler-proof." He looked pretty pleased wi
Captive Affair Chapter 125
•GIANNI•I sat with Renato on my lap while watching Kinley swim. A small smile played on my lips at the peaceful moment.It was nice to experience life like this, without the intense adrenaline of the mafia on my back.I texted Luca to find out how my surprise was coming along. I knew how important that mansion was to Kinley, so I had a team working on rebuilding it as close to the first one as possible."What are you smiling about?" Kinley asked as she came over, she kissed Renato on the head before reaching down and kissing me."I can't tell you or it won't be a surprise anymore. Do you want to go to dinner tonight?"Kinley nodded, "That will be nice. Should we invite Luca and Martha? I wanted to invite Billie, but I don't think that will be fair to her with the recent loss.""We can. You should call Billie, you know she won't hate you. She doesn't blame you for this. She knows and understands the way these things go, and she knows that this isn't on you."She sighed, "I know. But s
