[Addison]

"Addy!"

There are loud, rapid footsteps followed by the heavy sound of someone falling to their knees. Warm arms reach around me and cradle me to their chest, their heart beating rapidly against my ear.

My husband, Michael, is shaking with fear as he looks down at me with wide, frightened eyes.

"Addison! What have you done!" His voice shakes as he looks up at the open window and then back at me. "Why? Do I make you so miserable that you are trying to kill yourself?"

"Don't forget, you're still pregnant!" He blamed me.

The sadness in his voice makes my heart skip. I scoffed in my mind. There was no child anymore.

Does he really care about me underneath all of this anger and angst? Am I the one pushing him away with my jealousy?

"Michael, help, I fell," I whimper pathetically. I hate how weak I sound, how defenseless I am. I don't want his help, but what choice do I have? I was foolish to think I could climb out the window to get away.

In the distance, my son's small voice

  • Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King   Chapter 136

    [Addison/Vanessa]I've seen her do that before, in the bathroom at the restaurant where she hit me and told me to stay away from Hunter "or else." Her expression had changed just as quickly. She's an excellent actress. But why is she acting now?Why is she only pretending to be sad?Maybe I'm misinterpreting the situation. I'm not exactly in my right mind. Jessica Jackson is an operative of Black Eagle. In many ways it makes sense, since Hunter rescued her, like so many of the others in his organization. She was young, but that means that she's perfect to train. She probably doesn't want to feel at danger any more than I do. As Hunter Grant's ward, she's probably in similar danger, even if people don't realize their relationship for what it is.But her taking amusement at my discomfort in a moment of sorrow--is she being malicious, or just immature? She's only a few years younger than me and yet in many ways, she often seems like such a child.I don’t have enough emotional bandwidth

  • Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King   Chapter 135

    [Vanessa/Addison]I wish I could feel engaged as Reggie shows me around Black Eagle headquarters, but I can’t stop thinking about my love. Watching The Briar explode as we flew away to safety. How could he survive that? How could anyone? The longer he’s gone, the more the likelihood that he’s already dead. No way would he let me feel his loss without reaching out. He would find a way to let me know he wasn’t dead. I’m sure of this. A door slides open behind me and I jump, startled at the sound. Turning around, I come face to face with Jessica, his foster daughter, and my body clenches. The last time I had seen her, she had been making out with my fiance. How is it that she has access to a place I was only told about today? A tinge of jealousy rises along with those moments of unkindness she had shown me when I was first introduced. Was she trying to protect this secret, along with her relationship with Hunter?“Addison, why are you here?” Her bright eyes are wide with confusion as

    [Hunter]The assassins on the rooftop were easily managed, as were the fools who tried to burst apart a titanium door. The ones that hadn't burned themselves to a crisp after trying to explode the damned thing were easily dispatched as they funneled one by one through the door, encouraged by the gunfire hitting them from the other side. Angel and the Brides activated as soon as our guards were found dead outside the building. For a woman in her 50’s, Blue Angel can keep up with the rest of them, a stunning beauty with a gaze that can freeze a man in place just long enough to put a bullet through his skull. “Mom, why haven’t you evacuated?” Ace groans, wincing as his mother starts poking at his wounds. “Can’t let my boys have all the fun. Besides, we came with these,” She hands us each a parachute. “Now hurry, the place is set to blow in two minutes.” Looking up, I watch my family fly off in the distance. “Sorry, Vanessa,” I whisper. “I’ll make it up to you. But first I need to sla

    [Addison/Vanessa]“We don’t know anything for certain,” Reggie’s mouth says, but his eyes speak differently as he presses his hand to his ear. “Do we have confirmation?”I can’t hear what is said to him in response, but his face blanches and his expression looks lost, hollow as he replies. “Activate code gray. Yes. You heard me. Lock it down.” "I need to get you all back to headquarters. We'll keep an eye on the situation there," Reggie grimaces, his lips tightly pressed. "There are some protocols that need to be arranged in case there is a...transfer of power." A transfer of power. I don't bother to ask what he means. He needs to make sure that Black Eagle, whatever it is, continues even without it's commander.The ride back to Grant Tower is quiet as the three of us ride in mournful silence. Without confirmation, we can’t know if anyone survived the explosion. My heart goes out to all the families affected–that building was full of staff and security, along with Hunter’s adopted mo

    [Addison/Vanessa]The explosion was followed by a string of curse words from the other side of the reinforced door. By some miracle the door is still standing. Thank God a thousand times over. For a moment at least we are still safe. "Whoever is behind this, it was an inside job," Ace grimaces, still holding his side. "They fucking took down half our staff and knew where all of our blindspots were, which means they've hacked our system somehow." Ace tries to smile at me reassuringly when he sees me watching him. "Don't worry, Mrs.," he nods back at the door. "Whoever was behind this doesn't know we just replaced those doors this week using a high-grade custom alloy. The usual methods won't work." "Get a roster of every person who entered this place today," Hunter orders, as he pulls out another gun from his waistband. I'm not sure how he managed to hide a third gun on his body without me noticing when he was holding me, but I'm grateful. "Somebody let them through the door. Don't gi

    [The Spy] [20 minutes ago]My international reputation and connection with Hunter made it easy to secure my appointment. It was harder to distract the stylist so that I could make my way to the back gate and open the door under the guise of “needing some air.” I was followed, of course, but we were expecting that. The last time I was at Grant Group, I copied the security protocol for RoseThorn using their own computer systems. Said I needed it for my villa because I was feeling “unsafe with all the developments around the city” and because “Mr. Grant wants to make sure I stay safe.” Nobody questioned that either. They really should have. Mr. D will be thrilled. The men sent to guard me fall to the ground around me like discarded toys and I step forward to enter the outer gate key. 30 men wearing masks and wearing armor stamped with the Grant Group logo march through the door holding assault riffles. This time the armor isn’t fake–they were taken from a container ship delayed betw
