***LONDON'S POV***Running towards my room, I don't see the man coming to my right and he bumps into me, knocking the air out of my lungs. Closing my eyes, I try to kick the man out of me, but he presses my neck, squeezing it just the right amount, choking me out. "Stop! Please stop!" I beg, blood shooting behind my eyes. When I thought I was seeing stars, I heard a gun cock and I close my eyes, ready to die. One gunshot and liquid splashes on my face, when I scream, I open my eyes to see that my assailant's head has been blown off. "No, Fuck!" I cry out as his lumpy body falls to the side. His brain matters are on the floor and the gory detail is engraved on my head. I start crying, falling into a panic attack. "You killed him," a dark voice calls out angrily, pushing aside the man who still has the gun in his hand. "He was going to rape the girl. Get her up, we need to leave," he barks out. When I blink, that when when I discover I know the man. "Paolo," m
***ZANE'S POV***"You think they know we are supposed to be here?" I ask my brows pulling upward as I stare at Sinner. "I don't think they know, unless we have a spy in our mist, which makes it dangerous because he is going to die," he blurts out, flexing his hands in and out as he plays around his holster. I nod at his reflection on the windshield, relaxing gently.We finish the rest of the way to Aloha district, since Rio has come back to his city, his men will be meeting up with us, trying to trap Michael down. "This is the end game," I mutter out, baring my teeth at my men. "Yes, he would know who he is messing around with. The fucker picked the wrong family to fuck over," he mutters and I nod, my head bobbling in and out. As we pull a mile before the port of business, we go down from our cars, and start the walk down to trap the men. The men from Rio meet us and their leader Carlos walks over to greet me. "What is the situation like?" he demands his eyes perusi
***LONDON'S POV***A FEW HOURS EARLIERI keep hitting the vase on Paolo's head, making sure to smash his skull.When a gurgling sound comes up from his strangled throat, I stare at him straight in the eyes, my anger blinded by the fact that he threatened me and my baby. No mother should experience the fear that I did because it makes me hurt, more than they can ever expect. "You should rut in hell, Paolo," I bark out as I look at him in the eyes. "Michael Logan would get to you when he knows I am dead," he speaks out and I tremble. When Paolo notices his words have cut into me like a wounded animal, he smiles, blood painted in his mouth and his teeth flashing out. The sound of a gun going off and a scream pierces the air and I widen my eyes in shock. Using that as an opportunity to get me off his body, Paolo turns around and pins me to the ground. "You bitch," he screams as he whacks me with his hand. For a moment, I thought I would be deaf with how faint everythin
***ZANE'S POV***Reaper does a good job driving through the Aloha district to Lake Side City.My men are with me and I am more than annoyed. Tricking us to go to the port thinking that Michael would be there was the silliest thing I have done. My head hurts but more, it's the fact that London had come face to face with danger. "I should have been there," I say as I stare forward, staring into space. Reaper grunts and I know it is affecting him too. My chest hurts so much I think I might need medicals. "Should we stop at the hospital, boss? You look uncomfortable," Reaper says turning his head back to the road, focusing his attention on it. "No, just get me home. I need to be with London right now," I say sighing "He is whipped," Sinner mutters under his breath and Reaper chuckles. "Assholes," I mused. There is no feeling like a man whose wife is under the attack of men who are sent to hurt her and he is trapped because of distance. We should have taken the h
***ZANE'S POV***I gently lift London from the bathroom floor and notice the bruise on her forehead. I will need to put a bandage on it, it will give a nasty scar if care isn't taken. Sighing, I lean her in the bathtub and glare at her. Her perfect green eyes meet mine and she stares away, tears streaking down her face. I didn't utter a word, but my presence was as thick as that of a thief. I felt the big bathroom with my large frame body. The water was warm, I had made sure of that. Grabbing the soft sponge, I start scrubbing away the blood from her hands, I push the sponge closer to her lower belly and stop. London wasn't active and she didn't even know how close I had been to sponging her pussy. Dodging to her thighs, I spread them gently and she doesn't fight me, London just lets me do it as I feel pleased. Finished cleaning her up, I made sure to wash her hair. I don't put her on the sink, not after what just happened. Carrying London to the bed, I wrap a to
***LONDON'S POV***The dust in my head made it impossible to focus when I opened my eyes. I didn't know where I was, what had happened last to me and my throat was so dry that I needed to lubricate it with water. Right now, I needed water. Slipping out of bed, I made a step with my right leg, and when I lifted up the left one, my ankle snapped at me and I came crashing downward. A trolley that was in front of me was knocked out of the way as I came with my full weight down. "Argh!" I cry out softly and my legs hurt so badly. A commotion comes through the room, I don't get to hear anything because it becomes blurry in the room. The door badges open and I see Zane. "Oh my God, Zane," I whimper as I stare at his displeased face. "You need to stay in bed, little girl. I only went out for a cup of coffee and now, you have fallen off the bed. I should tie you down to the bed, huh?" he asks keeping his coffee mug at the table beside the door, and walks towards me. "I n
***ZANE'S POV***I walked downstairs fuming, my eyes were red-rimmed and I could puff out smoke through my ears. I grabbed the closest thing to my right, a drawer filled with pictures, mainly decorative paintings, I crashed them to the floor, breathing heavily. Reaper rushes to the scene and I shake my head. "Don't, Reaper. I am too fucked up in the head right now that I can't even think right, m" I say. He snorts as I kick on the shelf, looking around for something next to grab. "You need to calm down, boss. For real, this will inky get you mad, you need a clear mind when your men finally know where Michael is hiding," he says pushing his hands in front of him. "London said she feels like there was a spy between my men. Is it you?" I ask in an accusatory tone. "Fuck no!" Reaper replies looking hurt. "Are you sure?" I demand as I see Sinner walk out of his quarters, a confused look on his face. "What is going on here?" he questions, getting in the scene. This was o
***LONDON'S POV***"London, you need to get down here, Zane is fighting with his brother," Micah says as he skiddles past my door and goes downstairs. I look at Mia, my eyes widening in shock. "Do you think...?" I trail off wanting to know if this is true. Mia nods her head those pretty eyes of hers shining. When Zane had left me without a word, I had been mad but a knock had come in shortly after, and I had never been happy to see Mia. We had left on impromptu back in Italy, I would need to catch up with the other ladies, but I was glad she had come to visit. "We should go before our men kill one another," Mia giggles in a girlish way, making my heart squeeze gently. "My ankle is sprained, and I haven't done anything about it. Zane wouldn't help me. Maybe if you help me on your shoulder, I could limb to him before they kill one another," I explain wrinkling my brows at her. She giggles again. "Why didn't you tell me anything? I should have helped out," Mia scowls
