His Hidden Heart Chapter 16
Dominic-“Close your eyes. It will be fun.” I said as I grabbed her waist and threw my other arm past her to punch one of the men who tried attacking again.“There isn’t any music.” Hayden complained as she closed her eyes.Pulling out my phone while spinning her around to swing my leg at one of the guys, I quickly played music from my phone. Hayden clung to me, wrapping her arms around my shoulders. Tucking the phone in my pocket again, I continued to swing her around in different directions.She laughed while I used my dance moves to fight against the men. It was a little difficult fighting with her in my arms, but I managed to keep them from touching her. Every so often, I would dip her low to dodge an attack.Hayden continued to laugh, which brought a smile to my face. It has been a long time since I have enjoyed myself. The attackers were slowing down now, their attacks becoming less frequent. Needing to end this quickly, before the song ended or Hayden opened her eyes, danced he

Dominic- When I woke up, Hayden was still in my arms, curled against my side, with her head resting on my chest. As much as I liked holding her, I wasn’t sure what she would remember about last night or how she would react. Carefully easing her off me, I slid out of bed.Hayden groaned slightly and rolled to her side. Covering her with the blanket, I let her sleep a little longer while preparing for the day. After showering and getting dressed, I grabbed my phone and went to the living room.The maid I hired to take care of the apartment was due to arrive this morning, so I didn’t worry about cooking breakfast. I went into my office and sat at my desk to investigate who the men who attacked last night were. Watching the security cameras, I didn’t see anything that could give me any clues.I picked up my phone and texted a friend to run facial recognition on the men. As soon as I put the phone on my desk, I heard the elevator in the hall ding, alerting me that someone had arrived. Rus

Hayden-“Are you serious?” I asked as soon as Devon left the office.“I am, but whether you can complete the task is up to you.” Dominic stood and extended his arm toward the door. “I will show you where your desk will be.”Leaving the office, Dominic led me across the open space, which was scattered with many workstations and desks. The desk Dominic led me to was near the break room, on the edge of the design team. The desks were facing each other in sets of four.The desk I was given was next to a girl around my age, who had Hello Kitty decorations everywhere. The desks were divided with privacy shields. Sitting at the desk, I flattened my hands on the cool wood, silently wishing that I would be able to keep my position and make this desk mine.“Stephanie, help her with anything she needs. I will leave her in your care.” Dominic spoke to the girl with Hello Kitty decorations before walking away.“My name is Stephanie. I am an intern here.” Stephanie extended her arm. “If you have an

Hayden-When I returned to work the following morning, there were only thirty minutes before the meeting. Thinking I had plenty of time, I grabbed the manuscript I had made notes on. Opening the drawer with the flash drive, I noticed it was no longer in the same place I had put it.In a panic, I began searching around my desk for the flash drive. I tried to remember if I had put it in a different place. When I thoroughly scoured my desk, I tried to relax. Even if the flash drive was missing, I could copy it again.Calming myself down, I sat at my desk and waited for my computer to turn on. Grabbing a new flash drive from the supplies Stephanie had given me yesterday, I plugged it into the computer. I didn’t have long to copy the information to the flash drive, as I had spent most of my time trying to find the original drive.“Is everything okay?” Stephanie rolled her chair next to me.“The flash drive I copied everything to is missing,” I explained as I searched for the file I had sav

Hayden-Over the next few days, I was busy finalizing everything for the book I was now in charge of since the incident with Devon stealing my work. Everything had been settled, and I was able to keep my position as a full-time employee. Not only did I work as a designer, but I also worked with the editing team.Everyone was treating me better, even those that were close to Devon. There was a rumor going around the office that anyone that messed with me would be killed. I thought Devon would be taken to the police station, along with her brother and Stephanie, but they all disappeared.I didn’t think they had been killed, but knowing that Dominic was in the Mafia, I couldn’t completely brush the possibility away. I felt it was better not to ask him personally, but I haven’t seen Tristan since the incident occurred. I considered not worrying about it, but I couldn’t stop thinking about it.“Are you ready to go?” Dominic asked, walking up behind me.Pushing away from my desk, I spun the

Hayden-After changing our clothes, we returned to the auditorium to complete the graduation ceremony. Instead of sitting with Dominic and Tristan, I sat with the rest of the graduating class next to Lily. As they called out names to get on the stage and get recognition for graduating, I kept glancing toward Dominic.He was standing next to Tristan at the end of the row of chairs where I sat. It had only been two weeks since he had once again entered my life, but it was starting to feel as if he had never left. When I thought about it, he really hasn’t. In a way, he has always been there, silently protecting me like he is now. The only difference was that now I knew he was there.“Hayden Delaney.” My name was called.Standing up, I realized I missed Lily getting on the stage to collect her diploma. Walking toward the end of the row of chairs, I passed by Dominic. Tristan gave me a thumbs up, smiling at me, while Dominic retained his expressionless composure.Walking onto the stage, I

Dominic-“Any news?” I asked Tristan after we cleared out the auditorium.“We found Lily knocked out in a storage closet.”“I don’t care about her! I want to know what happened to Hayden and why she disappeared!” I slammed my fist against the stage as I stood before it.“We are still investigating, but we found a clue. Apparently, around the time Hayden was supposed to come off the stage, one of her professors told her that Lily wanted to surprise her with a gift. We have him being held until we can confirm his story with Lily. The school nurse is trying to wake her up.”“Anything on the surveillance yet?”“Nothing yet, but a team of hackers is trying to restore the monitors. I sent some men to try tracking her location.”Gritting my teeth, I tried to keep myself calm. If anyone was to blame, it was myself. If I had noticed sooner that something was wrong, Hayden wouldn’t be missing. I also should have brought guards with me instead of thinking nothing would happen to her around a cro

Hayden-“No!” I screamed as three of the four men started attacking Dominic.One after another, they hit Dominic. He didn’t resist or fight back. His eyes remained on me. The man with the knife stepped to the side of me, no longer holding the blade to my neck. I would rather him threaten my life than have his men attack Dominic.With each blow Dominic endured, it felt like my heart was breaking. The men found objects to hit Dominic with after a few beatings. One of the men used a steel bar. When the bar swung across Dominic’s back, he fell forward, catching himself with his hands.“Stop!” I cried as I tried to wiggle free of my restraints.“This is too much fun!” The man with the knife laughed like a lunatic.“Close. Your. Eyes.” Dominic spoke each word between each hit he received.Although I didn’t want to see him getting beat like this, I wasn’t going to look away. I was the reason he was getting hit like this. I needed to try to get free so I could save him.Struggling against the

Hayden-Once he bent over, I secured the blindfold around him and led him out of the house. I guided him to the passenger seat of his Jeep, helped him inside, and shut the door. Once in the driver’s seat, I moved the seat up a little before starting the vehicle.It didn’t take long to arrive at the venue. Lily was waiting for us, holding the wedding dress in her hand. Tristan was also waiting with a broad smile on his face. I knew I could trust Lily by getting Tristan prepared. He had a tuxedo similar to Dominic's, except the colors of his tuxedo were opposite of Dominic’s.“We are doing a double date.” I told Dominic as I got out of the car.Another thing to report: Tristan and Lily were officially a couple. This surprised me at first, but I realized I saw it coming once the shock wore off. Lily admitted they had been dating for two months, but I didn’t learn about it until two weeks ago. I didn’t know if they would have a happily ever after, but at least they both seemed happy curre

Hayden-Since Lexus was no longer in the picture, everything seemed a lot calmer. In the last four weeks, Dominic and my father have been working to bring Fox Ink back to its former glory. They also worked on other businesses.I wasn’t involved with anything as much as I wanted, but it didn’t matter. I still owned the companies my grandfather left me, but my father and Dominic wanted to help me smooth things over. It didn’t bother me too much since I didn’t know the first thing about running a business.I offered to give my father the companies, as he should have been the one to inherit everything, but he declined. Once the companies were in shape, he just wanted to teach me to run everything. He told me that if he had been younger, he wouldn’t mind, but a lot of things have changed while he was in a coma.There were still things he needed to learn. He did agree to help manage things for a few years until I gave birth and the child was old enough to start school. My father also remind

Hayden-When I heard the gunshot, I flinched behind Dominic. I was afraid to look, as I wasn’t sure who Lexus had shot. I heard a commotion around me, making me want to see what was happening. Looking around Dominic, I saw Lexus lying on the ground with his mother crying as she sat by his feet.“Is he dead?” Dominic muttered, but he didn’t move away from me.Agent Leo moved over to where Lexus was, knelt beside him, and felt for a pulse. “He is dead.”Only after confirmation that Lexus was dead did Dominic move away from me. “Although things are finally over, it is a pity he didn’t live long enough to face his crimes.”“Cuff her.” Agent Leo motioned toward Lexus’s mother.“Wait!” I rushed forward and blocked the FBI agent who walked toward Lexus’s mother. “Can’t you let her go?”“It is okay, Dear.” Lexus’s mother patted me on my back. “This is for the best.”“But from my understanding, you haven’t done anything wrong. You even helped us.” I didn’t know why I was trying to help her, bu

Dominic-As soon as I saw the flash of metal, I reacted. Lurching forward, I pushed past Agent Leo. I didn’t care about anything other than preventing Lexus from harming Hayden. Putting myself between Hayden and Lexus, I grabbed the blade of the knife with my hand.“It is over. You have lost.” I ignored the pain of my palm being cut open as I kept a firm grip on the blade.With my free hand, I removed my mask. Lexus released the knife and stepped back right into Agent Leo’s hands. Dropping the knife, I wrapped the mask around my injured hand. As Leo tried to cuff Lexus, I turned around and pulled Hayden in my arms.“You all tricked me!” Leo screamed.“Dominic?” My chest muffled her voice.“It is me.” I tightened my hold on her as I thought about how close I came to losing her. “I never should have pretended and let you be the one to expose him.”“Wait.” Hayden wedged her hands between us, shoving me away from her. “This was your plan?” She looked from me to Tristan, then to Agent Leo,

Hayden-Upon arriving at the press conference, I was a bundle of nerves. Throughout my school years, public speaking had never been my thing. I could perform in front of an audience, but this was a lot different. It helped that Alexander stood in front of everyone with me since he handled the inheritance.“I knew you would do the right thing.” Lexus covered the microphone and leaned over to whisper. “Don’t worry. If you do your part, I will release your friends.”Little did Lexus know that Lily, Tristan, and my father were in the crowd wearing masks. Taking a deep breath, I tried to keep my emotions to myself so he wouldn’t suspect anything. Nodding my head, I looked down at my feet.“First, I want to address that Dominic Fox was recently hit by a car and passed away. Although there have been issues between us in the past, we were good friends. Some time ago, I bought many shares of his company because we planned to join Parker Publishing and Fox Ink to embark on a path to lead the wo
His Hidden Heart Chapter 76
Hayden-Over the next couple of days, news about Dominic’s condition blew up. Other than the day Lexus announced he would hold a press conference, I haven’t been able to return to Fox Ink. Almost everyone had been fired, including Tristan. Lexus brought over his employees to keep Fox Ink running.I had almost announced that I was the company's largest shareholder, but Tristan suggested I wait. Agent Leo informed me that the press conference was the perfect opportunity to bring Lexus down. I thought I would be able to do something to save Fox Ink from Lexus, but there wasn’t anything I could do.“Isn’t Tristan supposed to be here by now?” My father rolled his chair out of the kitchen, carrying a plate of sandwiches.“I got a text from him an hour ago, informing me he would be late.” I leaned back on the couch, crossing my legs under me.“Any news about how Dominic is?” He placed the plate on the couch next to me.I had a craving for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, so my father want

Hayden-When I woke up, I was lying in a hospital bed in the same room as Dominic. “How long was I asleep?” I asked Tristan, who was the only other person in the room.“Twelve hours.” Tristan stood from his chair and came to sit next to me on my bed. “How are you feeling?”“Fine.” I turned to look at Dominic, who seemed to be sleeping. “Has he woken up? How is he?” I returned my attention to Tristan.“He hasn’t woken up, and there is a chance he won’t, at least not for a while.” He diverted his gaze.Lifting the covers off me, I climbed out of bed. Walking a few feet to Dominic’s bed, I sat beside him. As I had done with my father, I held his hand in mine. I said nothing, afraid I would start crying if I tried.“Hayden?” Jack’s voice came from the door, so I turned to look at him.“What is it?”“Your father woke up.” Jack’s eyes moved from me to Dominic and back again. “If you want to stay here, I can tell him you won’t return now.”“No. It’s okay.” I placed Dominic’s hand back on the

Hayden-Sitting beside my father, I waited for him to wake up. His breathing tube was already removed now that he was breathing on his own. Other than choking on the tube, he hadn’t fully woken.“How long do you think it will take?” I asked Jack, who was sitting in the room with me.“I don’t know, kiddo. I am still blown away by all of this. He has never shown any signs of waking in all the years I have been taking care of him. I don’t know what you said to him, but whatever it was, he must have heard you.”“Do you really think he heard me?” I moved my knee on the bed and rested my hands on it, still holding my father’s hand.“He must have. Before he ended up like this, he had told me that your mother was pregnant. I can still recall the sound of his voice when he told me. Your dad was excited about being a father. I wish he had had the chance to watch you grow up.”“You two must have been close.” I muttered as I glanced at him.He rubbed his hands over his face and sighed. “We were c

Dominic-I hadn’t wanted to leave Hayden, but Agent Leo said it was urgent that we meet today. By now, he should have received everything to convict Lexus. We still had to be cautious, but at least this was almost over.“Thank you for seeing me today.” Agent Leo greeted me after I entered the safe house where I had stayed after he had rescued me from the police station.“If you hadn’t told me it was urgent, I wouldn’t have come. Hayden just found out her biological father is still alive, although he is on life support.”“You should have said something. I would have come to you.” Agent Leo motioned toward the chair across from him. “Since you are here, we will make this quick so you can return to her side.”Sitting at the table with Leo, I scanned the numerous papers scattered around the table. “What is all this?”“I have compiled everything we need to handle Lexus. I also have new leads on everyone who he is working with. Lexus has been busy lately, meeting with a lot of people, all o
