Captive Affair Chapter 69
•KINLEY•I was still tied to the window and my body was beginning to ache from being in this position for so long.Not that Talon cared.He sat on the sofa watching television while I stared down at the street below trying to figure out where we were.It was a small side street we were in, but I couldn't see much more than that.I assumed we were facing away from the beach because I could see no hint at the sea in the view ahead."This is ridiculous, Talon. I can't sit like this for much longer, it hurts.""I'll take you to the room later. Once I can trust you, I'll stop tying you up."I leaned my head against the cool glass of the window, closing my eyes and wishing this could all just be a dream.It was going for day two that he had left me tied to this dreadful window and I was already giving up.I opened my eyes and caught sight of something in the street below.Men in black suits.I glanced over to Talon, making sure he was still occupied before turning back to the window with ho

•GIANNI•Walking into the mansion, the first thing I noticed was that both Billie and Tatum were no longer there.I was about to walk back out when Luca came running towards me."Boss. The men think they may have found her. A woman was screaming from a building.""Where? Let's go.""They haven't gone in, they are waiting for your go-ahead," Luca spoke as we made our way toward the car."Tell them to surround it and wait until we get there. I want to be the one to go in. Billie and Tatum are - What the fuck is that?" In front of our gate sat a string of black cars.I immediately pulled my gun and Luca did the same, we didn't have time for this. We needed to find Kinley."Going somewhere?" He asked as he stepped out of the car, an FBI bulletproof jacket strapped to his chest."Yes. My wife-""Allow me to introduce myself, Agent King."My blood boiled at the name. He was the one who had tried to turn Kinley against me."Lower your guns." He instructed us.I wanted to shoot my way through

•KINLEY•I felt like a coward. I didn't want to face Billie after what had happened to her.So I sent flowers and a card once I was released from the hospital.Gianni seemed to be keeping his distance from me, and it made me feel a bit hurt. But I also knew he was busy trying to find Giovanni's killer and Talon.Gianni would disappear downstairs for hours at night, I could only imagine what he was doing to Talon."Kin?"I tightened my hold on my warm cup of tea as Luca walked in."How are you feeling?"I shrugged, "Okay, I guess. But I keep having nightmares of him coming at me.""He can't get to you. I've been down there, he's not getting out."I looked over at Luca, "Why is Gianni keeping him alive for so long? Look what happened with Dom."Luca sighed and leaned over, dropping a hand to my knee, "I know it's scary. But Gianni wants him to suffer. We both do."I looked down at my tea cup when the tears formed in my eyes, "I've always believed that it's not our place to take a life.

•GIANNI•Kinley was laying in bed, deep in sleep.I was sitting in a chair near the door watching her. I had barely been able to get any sleep since she had returned home after Talon had taken her.It was impossible for me to sleep. I knew Talon was locked up tight enough that he wouldn't get out. But I still couldn't sleep.I couldn't begin to imagine how it must have felt for her, she was the one who had experienced it all. Kinley told me she had been having nightmares, I couldn't blame her. When I closed my eyes, I kept seeing him hurting her.It was driving me insane, and a part of me wanted to go down there and kill him right away.But I wouldn't do that, it would be far too easy.I wanted him to suffer for what he had done to Kinley, and for taking my unborn baby away from me.No, death would come much later, when he has suffered enough.For now, I would leave him tied up.Luca was having some fun using Talon as an outlet for anger, I saw no reason to stop him.Getting to my fe

•KINLEY• Gianni was seated at the dinner table when Luca and I returned.He looked annoyed."Where were you?" He asked."Luca was teaching me how to use a gun."Gianni gave Luca an amused look, "How did she do?""Not bad for a beginner. But we definitely have to work on her aim."I took a seat at the table, "I'm getting the hang of it, though. Although the weight of the gun threw me off a bit in the beginning."Luca touched my shoulder lightly, "I'm going to go and call my wife. Gianni, if you will excuse me."Gianni nodded and Luca walked out.Gianni lifted his glass and took a sip of his drink, "Is there a reason for this sudden interest in how to shoot?""Yes," I admitted, "I don't want you to give up who you are to try and keep me safe. I am your wife, I am a part of this mafia, whether we like it or not. It's about time I start acting like it."Gianni sighed heavily, "Gattina, you don't have to do this. You don't have to prove anything to me.""I'm not trying to prove something,

•KINLEY•The meeting with King was going well, although I noticed that Gianni had yet to mention Jade. He had mentioned a few names, but not hers.I was surprised that he had even mentioned Billie's family, but I was more surprised that King seemed interested in taking them down.Seeing as he was Billie's step-brother, I had expected him to offer them special treatment.I sat quietly listening to them speak, Gianni going so far as to offer to walk them into a trap.King seemed to agree with Gianni, and I got to my feet realizing this meeting was going on longer than I had planned."I have to excuse myself. I'm meeting some designers with Billie today, we want to go over what pieces to showcase for the club re-opening."Gianni stood to kiss me goodbye and I walked out, Luca waiting at the door for me."Ready to go?" He asked."Yes, I want the plans behind me so I can stop stressing about it.""It will be a huge success, you're worrying over nothing.""I hope you're right. I hope you're

•KINLEY•I stood in Euphoria while the last rehearsal took place before our bid reopening night.The designers had outdone themselves and I was happy we got to showcase a few well-known designers as well as some new and struggling talent.The walls had been decorated with abstract paintings from Bonnie's art gallery.Billie and Cassie stood on either side of me, watching the models walk down the stage we had set up as the runway.The dancers Gianni had let go were rehearsing their dance routines in the hanging cages.It was somewhat of a magical feeling to be experiencing this."People are going to love this," Billie said.I nodded, there was no way they couldn't. I felt a burst of pride knowing we had pulled this off so well."I can't wait for tomorrow night," I was practically bursting at the seams with excitement, "I'm a bit nervous about the press, but the excitement outweighs the worry.""There is nothing to be nervous about, they'll take some pictures, ask a few questions and go

•KINLEY•My nerves were shattered, and being pregnant I couldn't use alcohol to help with that.The club was already packed, and I stood near the bar keeping an eye on everything.The press had arrived the moment the doors were opened and had been snapping pictures ever since thankfully they had only taken a few photos of me but they hadn't asked me any questions.My stomach felt fluttery with nerves as it was and I wasn't sure I would be able to answer any questions successfully right now.Gianni was running a little late, he had called me from home o let me know he would be here as soon as possible, but he had a few things he needed to take care of first.When I had asked, he didn't elaborate, but I knew it had to have something to do with the mafia business.Billie walked over to me with a pink fruity-looking cocktail in her hand, "Babe, why are you standing over here looking as if you've just been thrown out of home? This is a huge success, that you created!"I forced a smile, "I

•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

•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
