Donovan (Book 3) THIRTY THREE
I heard the water running in the bathroom while Don briefly showered.I told him to change before I told him.I pace around the room, biting my fingernails, prepping what to say or what I should say about our baby growing inside of me. I got to prepare ahead of his reactions and his words.Everyone kept saying Don would be a great dad someday. Witnessing that with him and Leo and his niece and nephew, I never doubt him.His childhood was dark in the past, with an abusive stepfather beating the hell out of him and his mother. He could never forget those painful memories. Everyone has their demons in them, and we will overcome them someday.Don is at his greatness when he is with his brothers, his family, and his friends.And me.I stop pace and smile in front of the wall mirror as the water stop running and the bathroom door opens. Steam from having a hot shower emerged inside as Don stepped out looking fucking sexy with a towel around his waist, showing all his six bad boys staring at

I brush Leo's hair as he and Chris sleep soundly together. I'm getting used to Chris sleeping over ever since he found out his mom got a new boyfriend who isn't his dad. But once he went back home and had a talk with his mom then came back he seemed perfectly fine. When Jack dropped him off, Chris said his goodbye, but there wasn't an acceptance on his face.He is still not used to Jack dating his mom.I should have ordered a bunkbed in case of this. Becomes a permanent thing with Chris. I don't mind as long Leo is happy to have a friend. My son would love to have Chris over for sleepovers more often. After Eddie's surprise gift, I couldn't handle it and went straight to Leo's room for comfort and ease. My heart couldn't take the fact that Eddie knew where I lived. Eddie has money, and I'm sure he hired someone to find me. He never really cared about my family. I rarely talked about my other family here in California but never where. Eddie doesn't want to be concern about that. Edd
Donovan (Book 3) THIRTY FIVE
It's been three days since I arrived at the safe house in the jungle of Brazil.Brazil.We flew from Long Beach to here in a jet plane. Initially, the kids woke up confused but later enjoyed riding on a private jet. I asked Don if he owned the jet he said it belonged to his billionaire friend who was on his team and invested his money in creating weapons for the military.I asked Lena if she would allow Chris to take a family vacation with us. She agreed, saying she has other business besides Singapore that would take more than a month, and then asked me where. I lied and told her about a vacation in the Bahamas.Bahamas.I wish that were true then. I wouldn't be stressing out about staying in the middle of the Amazon jungle with deadly man-eating animals and deadly mosquitoes. Glad this house has a net that blankets the whole house to keep those pests away.I look through the no glass window watching the kids near the water."Leo! Chris! Time to get inside."It's been three days sinc

I pat my cheeks after a refreshing cleanse on my face. I rub the moisturizer and pause when I hear a noise hoping it is Don opening the door. I sign. Don left a few days ago to meet with his special ops friends. They have something important business about Eddie. Before coming here, the kids and I had to change our names to hide. The boys still asked us about this so-called vacation, and Don and I were running out of excuses. Don wasn't supposed to leave us, but something came up. At least the house has heavy security to keep us and others out. But I want Don here. I need to tell him. I feel so much pressure for not telling Don about his child. I hear the noise again and wonder if Don or one of the boys has snuck their way to the kitchen again for a midnight snack. I grab my robe and head out of the room. I lead down the dark path of the hallway and turn on the light in the kitchen. "Leo?" I call out. "Chris? Are you boys here again?" There was no answer. I walked around the i

Droplets of water echos through the walls and bounces to my ear as I stir from this lingering slumber that bastard had injected me with.Stinging pain ringing in my head as I groan and want to rub my face and open my eyes to see my vision blur, but I can't move my arms. Fully aware, I noticed that chains bound my wrist. I try yanking them, but it's impossible to break free with my strength. If I were Wonder Woman, breaking would take less than a second. But since I'm no superhero, I can't push my luck.Looking around, there seemed to be no windows and barely any light. The hitman took me somewhere; nobody knows where I'm at.I yank the chains repeatedly, then look for a possible way out, but this place is so deemed I can hardly look anywhere."Where am I?" I whisper, and before I can find the answer, a door opens, and a wall of bright light burns my eyes as I look away."You're awake."My eyes shot up but kept hidden from the light as my memory collected the voice taunting me since I

Every time the door opens, Eddie and the hitman, as I learn his name is Solomon, would come and interrogate me, and I always give him the same answer. With that answer, I get tortured for the wrong answer.Luckily, it didn't harm the baby. Behind Eddie's back, Solomon would give me something to eat, like fruit, a sandwich, or another candy bar to keep my strength up, but a snack wasn't enough. Sometimes he would leave a water bottle, and I would preserve it. He also gave me a battery camping lamp to make this damp slightly brighter.But it sucks I have to pee every hour. Eddie had one of his goons place a bucket in the corner.There are no windows, so I wonder if it's day or night. I guess the stories about Effie and Lily being kidnapped also happen to me.Why do the pretty ones always get kidnapped?I caress my stomach and hurry back to lean against the wall. I close my eyes and hum a lullaby tone like when Leo was in my belly.My energy decreases every minute, and I'm worried about

I keep looking behind me past Solomon, who is guarding my exit. The tunnel felt like an endless road to nowhere. I wasn't sure Eddie knows where he is going.Solomon caught me staring and shook his head like always. I made a long face and faced forward and sighed. He claims Don will come to rescue me but when? I've been waiting for more than hours to go and get me from this bastard.I'm having doubts about believing Solomon that Don will rescue me and take me home to be with my family, son, friends, and him.Where are you, Don?I place my hand over my stomach and pray. Pray hard to God that my unborn child will not be in danger whatever happens to me."We are here." I hear Eddie say in awe.Bright illuminating light blind my eyes as the tunnel reach the end. Before I could get my vision, I slowly opened them as they grew twice as wide as my average size.What I'm looking at is unbelievable. It's not possible. I don't even know how to explain such an exceptional architecture."Look how

"Hello?" I make out a cough as my eyes wander around in complete darkness. "Eddie? Solomon? Anyone?"My voice echoes as I reach to feel anything that tells me where the hidden door is, but all I can think of is a stone-cold wall."Solomon?" I called out again, and after I did, my footstep on a stone that suddenly lit torches all around me and a hallway.I call out Solomon's name because calling Eddie is a no-no.I took a step forward again until my foot hit something.I look down and see a skeleton on the ground. I scream at the top of my lungs, backing away as I trip and fall on my ass to something complex. I turn my head and see more skeletons on the ground piled. I panic and move away quickly, taking a breather and calming my beating heart."This place is more of a graveyard than a burial for a princess." I pat my chest where my heart lies as I calm.Remembering my hands are tied, I look around for anything sharp. Found a dagger with a chipped tip. I started to see the binding as m
