“Ryan?” I moved to wait for him to say more.
“She might not make it and I don’t know what to do?” He spoke shuddering in my presence.
Great I thought. Whatever spell she cast on these men was powerful. I had Dax practically hyperventilating upstairs because of her and now Ryan was in tears as if she was dying. I took a long sigh as I went in for a hug. I hate her so much
DaxSome memories are horrible that forgetting them is like trying to peel your skin off because it hurt to think about it let alone forget. I knew the moment Jack walked out that the rescue was going to be bad, but I never expected to lose them both because they were starting to grow on me. We were almost becoming friends hell, even family someday, but that all went to shit when we went to get Julian.
I couldn’t get far the nurse had rushed into the room and stopped me from tempting death with my stupidity. The nurse had the tubes and drips on and giving me a shot that made everything fade away as I fluttered my eyes drifting off.The flashes of that night unfolded in front of me and it was one hell of a night not in a good way. After Jack had walked out to rescue his brother, I followed him no question about it and we drove to the warehouse as instructed. I had a plan that would have worked out, but I was driven by revenge that, when the escape was in my grasp I chose to let go and run w
TiffanyI was feeling unease about the whole situation and I was in a panic state because the plan had to go smoothly and there had to be no room for mistakes or errors. My heart was drumming in my chest reaching for my ears that was giving me a slight headache, but this plan had to work.I had despised Ryan from the moment I saw Maya in the hospital bed lifeless and when I dug
DaxWe had driven in silence and the moment we reached our destination Maya was shell shocked and from the way she looked at me, her eyes were filled with a lot of emotions and questions which I would answer.“How?” Was the only question she could utter before she burst into tears and she reached for me in a hug and I embraced her as I let her cry.
RyanShe was gone and I could not accept that, and I refused to accept that Maya was gone. The worst part was knowing that the person I thought was dead was the one who had helped her escape. My father was right all along I was weak because I could not get the job done. Dax was alive and he had taken something precious from me and I was not going to stop until I got my wife and child back.
TyI wish Tom had listened when I told him that chasing after Maya was going to end badly and as I had predicted it ended badly with him dead. I was still angry at him for what he had done with Maya, but he was still my brother and my blood, and Steel was to blame for his death.I wanted Steel dead because he was partly to blame but the person, I wanted on the ground more was Dax. He
“Fuck, did you just shoot me?” I shouted, “Your children are just upstairs.”“Soundproof,” she smirked, leaning over.“What if they came down?” I asked.&ld
“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
“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
