Ty
I swear when I see that sneaky weasel Dax, I’m going to kill him. I can’t believe he got in town and none of my contacts a glimpse of him until he showed up at the hospital just a few hours ago.
“How did you let Dax get away again? With Maya this time Ty.” Tom shouted at me.
EveI have been jumpy lately after trying to avoid someone who has been trying to reach me. I know he saved my life before and I’m indebted to him, but if I respond to him that will mean that Tom will not trust me and will lose my kids because of it. I needed to play my cards right and be extra careful, hopefully, Tom won’t see through me.I was on my way to meet Tom
MayaI thought I had given up on life and died, but I opened my eyes to see eight eyes on me and they all had a relieved expression.“Eve, what are you-” I said as the pain in my head started.
A couple of weeks had passed since the incident at Star that had almost left me for dead. We were all hiding away in Dax’s house. He used to be Ryan’s bodyguard, but I was surprised that he owned the farmhouse we were living in. The land was huge, and this place is not something that can be acquired with a bodyguard salary regardless of how generous he was paid.I walked to the gym where Dax usually trains and he had taken it upon himself to train me to defend myself when I started to recover. This made me think of Ty because he used to make me exercise, but to him, it was for Star thi
Tears were free-falling and I wiped them with both of my hands, and he came to me with a look of sympathy“What… what happened? I thought-” he opened his mouth to say more, but he shook his head.“WHAT?” I sniffed, “You thought you were the one who was hurting?” I made a laugh, pointing a finger at the door, “YOU NEED TO LEAVE NOW,” I shouted my v
JulianThe argument with Maya which ended up with her kicking me in the balls infuriated me. Jack followed me like a lost dog to my room asking questions, but I snapped at him before he backed away leaving me alone stewing with my thoughts.I had tried the whole afternoon to chill, but I couldn’t calm down. In times like these I would blow off steam by running but I couldn&rsquo
TomI had just knocked Julian's brains out as he fell on the ground before I pointed the gun at him.“Get up,” I said, I slapped him a couple of times on his face.“Pathetic.” I spoke searching his pockets for a phone.
JackI had a bad feeling and I couldn’t shake it. Julian found out about me having sex with Maya and he had driven off. I had tried to call him on his cell, but he was ignoring my calls. This was not good.“Why are you pacing like that. Is something wrong?” Maya spoke.
MayaI was sitting on the couch trying to process the fact that Dax, Julian, and Jack were dead. I was staring into space before Ryan dropped another bomb on me. He was smiling that I thought maybe this was all a silly joke.“You… you want me to marry you?” I pointed at my chest.
“I thought you were letting me go?” I adjusted my hand with Alex resting on my shoulder.“Yes, ” he smiled.I looked at him starting to get suspicious as I knitted my brows together. Part of me didn’t want to think, all that was a trick or show so he could laugh in my face before he took my children away from me.
Maya“Does it always take this long for them to sleep?” I looked up to see Ryan rubbing the back of his neck as he spoke, and I simply nodded.The twins were finally asleep again after a long day. The flight had been long and so much time had flown by when we got to the hotel late in the afternoon. It has been a couple of hours and I was exhausted, but I knew Ryan an
RyanJust like that Maya walked back to their room and I was left to figure out how to get them to move. I turned to look at them and she had been right the sight in front of me was adorable. My children were sitting on the floor Alex’s hands stuck in Ava’s hair and they were sharing the other candy.I had no idea there was such happiness in seeing
The twins were settled on their highchairs eating comfortably. The highchairs were easy to assemble luckily, and Ryan had helped in silence. I watched him work around the steps and he looked like a natural because Dax and I had taken time to set them up once.“All done,” he smiled as he watched the twins eat admiring them for a second.“If you have somewhere else to be, we can always
MayaI was a mother now and nothing was going to get in the way of me protecting my children, including their father. I had decided to come back and face my husband and fight back no matter the cost and luckily Dax had taught me a lot after I gave birth.My pregnancy was hard. Tiffany and Dax helped me in most of the cases because I was a mess. Tiffany arranged a therapist for me on o
RyanI thought I was dreaming because she was here and not only was she here she brought my kids with her. My heart was doing somersaults and getting back to the way it was all this time. I paused as I said their name Alex and Ava Steel in my head. It had a nice ring to it, and I was already designing their rooms in my head and they were going to be spoiled rotten.I pulled out
I felt as if I was flying with a smile on my face this time and I was at peace as if this was my ride to heaven, I was a happy passenger. “Mommy, mommy,” I heard a voice, but I refused to open my eyes.SMACK. My eyes flew open attentively this time startled by the wailing noise.“Hey, young lady, we don’t talk with fists. Now say sorry to your brother,” I looked at my dau
MayaIf someone had told me that Tiffany and I would form an alliance I would have laughed and thought it was absurd, but my life had been filled with a lot of crazy shit and pain so believe me when I finally agreed to let her help with the escape it was the best fucking allegiance that brought good memories ahead.“Have you completely lost your mind?” Dax asked as h
“Woah, easy,” I raised my hands, “You might want to put the gun down Maya,” I looked at her.“I said talk, ” she moved closer, and by the way she looked, she meant business.“Okay, my guys are outside so careful with your next move,” I took a step back, but my words made it worse because the gun was corked close to my chest and she was not shaking or hes
