His Hidden Heart Chapter 61
Dominic-“He refuses to cooperate.” A police officer who has been interrogating me on and off through the night said to the Chief of police as soon as he entered the interrogation room. “I have been cooperating. I have told you everything I know about what happened that night.” I moved one of my hands to touch the corner of my lip, where the police officer had hit me just moments before.“Don’t worry, I will get him to cooperate.” The Chief of Police flashed a crooked smile as he motioned for the two police officers to leave.Flexing my jaw, I stared at the older Chief of Police as the others left. “You know what you are doing isn’t legal.”“Who do you think they are going to believe?” The Chief sat across from me in a metal chair. “The Chief of Police or a known Mafia member?”The room was made of concrete and had only three metal folding chairs. I was currently chained to one, but the chains were long enough for me to move around. I could even get up and move forward a few feet, b

Hayden-A week passed, and Dominic still hasn’t returned home. No one has heard anything from Lawyer Quinn. Tristan and I went to the police station, but it was shut down. Lexus was becoming more obnoxious with each passing day.At least, that is what I heard, as I have managed to avoid him and Devon so far. I spend all of my time in Tristan’s office, and when something needs to be done outside of the office, Lily handles it for me. Instead of being upset that Dominic was missing, I let Tristan handle tracking him down while I focused on my novel.The book and cover have been officially approved. I was a little surprised because Lexus and Devon had the final say. I considered using a pen name, but in the end, I went with using my real name. I wish Dominic had been with me while I completed a significant milestone in my life.I didn’t let it get to me, however. Instead of being depressed about it, I thought of it as a surprise for him when we found him. I just hoped it was soon. A week

Hayden-“Where are you going in such a hurry?” Lexus quickly stepped to the side to block my path.“I need to use the bathroom.” I tried to step the other way, but he once again blocked my path.For a minute, we danced back and forth, with me trying to get around him and him stepping in front of me. Seeing that he had no intention of letting me go past him, I let out a sigh. My hands moved to my hips as I locked my eyes with his.“Can I help you with something?”“No, but maybe I can help you.” Lexus smirked as he closed the distance between us. His hand moved to my arm, with his thumb gently caressing my bicep. “Since Dominic isn’t here, I thought we could become more familiar with each other.”My stomach twisted at the thought of having anything to do with him, especially with the seductive tone of his voice. “Not going to happen. Now, if you will excuse me, I need to use the restroom.”I tried to step around him again while jerking my arm away from him. This time, he let me get by h

Dominic-After three days of getting Hayden up to speed, I could finally relax. Well, as much as I could with everything else happening around us. At least now I wasn’t entirely in over my head, and I now had someone helping me take Lexus down. Not just him, but every crime family still in play.“Are you sure we should trust them to help?” Hayden asked as she curled up next to me on the couch.Ever since I returned home, this was the first time we had had a chance to be alone. Agent Leo had stayed the last three days to get Hayden up to speed. Wrapping my arm around Hayden, I propped my feet on the coffee table and held her close.“There is always a risk, but it might be the only way to take care of Lexus.”“I am just glad you are okay.” Hayden rested her head on my chest and nuzzled her head under my chin.“I admit that working with the FBI was the last thing I wanted to do, but if it weren’t for them, I would have likely been killed by the police.”“What do we do now?” Hayden lifted

Hayden-“Are you ready?” Dominic asked as we were in the elevator, heading to the floor we were working on.“As ready as I will ever be.” I took a deep breath and forced myself to smile just as the doors to the elevator opened.Stepping out of the elevator, I walked beside Dominic. We had just exited the hallway when employees jumped out to yell surprise. Party streamers, a hundred balloons, and a banner that said, “Welcome back, Mr. Fox,” filtered from the ceiling.Although Dominic knew about the party, as he was the one who suggested it, he still pretended to be surprised. I put on the brightest smile I could, trying not to think of what might happen next. I knew this was all planned to get Lexus to reveal his true colors, but I didn’t think it would be that simple. “This is unexpected.” Dominic said with a soft chuckle and a smile. Everyone in the office began to clap, except Dominic, as colleagues surrounded us. Each of them gave Dominic a warm welcome. Scanning the crowd, I s

Hayden-“What is next?” Devon asked Lexus after they bid the reporters goodbye.“Now we ruin the relationship between them.” Lexus said.Peeking between two leaves, I saw Lexus standing with his arms crossed over his chest and a smug smile on his face. He unwrapped his arms a moment later and pulled something out of his shirt pocket. It looked like a small plastic bag with white powder inside. I didn’t know what it was but knew it couldn’t be good.“Find a way to get this into his drink today.” Lexus handed Devon the bag.“What is it?” Devon took the bag and examined it.“Let’s just say this will make him unable to resist you. After the deed is done, get evidence and find a way to show Hayden. After she learns that her lover has multiple lovers, she will likely move out of Dominic’s place. Once she no longer has Dominic’s protection, I can proceed with the next plan.”“Don’t worry, I will get this done.” Devon smiled as she put the powder in her pocket and clicked the elevator button.
His Hidden Heart Chapter 67
Dominic-I felt like I was racing against the clock as I zoomed through traffic. Every few seconds, the alarm on my phone would blare through the car, alerting me that Hayden was pressing her panic button. I could have called Agent Leo to have him help me, but I had no intention of letting the FBI get there before me.When the first alert happened, I ordered Tristan to check the cameras around the bank to find out what happened. Without waiting, I rushed out to follow the tracker. Tristan had called me a few minutes later and told me that Devon was with a few men who killed my men and took Hayden.When she messed up the first time, I was lenient and sent her to Africa. When I kicked her out the second time, I should have dealt with her. It was partially my fault that Hayden was in danger because I allowed Devon to escape.Slamming my hands against the steering wheel, I silently cursed myself. “Move!” I screamed at the traffic in front of me.If not for the fact it was rush hour, I wou
His Hidden Heart Chapter 68
Dominic-After torturing Devon for three hours, she passed out. I had to admit it took longer for her to lose consciousness than it did for most grown men. If it weren’t for Hayden being out in the car, I would continue to make Devon regret it.“What now?” Tristan asked when he handed me a handkerchief to clean my hands.“Get rid of her and clean up the evidence.” I tossed the bloodied cloth on the ground and walked away.I hoped Hayden wasn’t upset with me for taking too long. I would have had the others handle Devon for me, but I wanted to be the one to personally send her to hell. Seeing a sink on my way toward the stairs, I stopped at it to wash as much blood off me as I could.I didn’t want to scare Hayden, as she had never seen this side of me. Very rarely did I let myself lose control as I had, but I would gladly make the world burn to keep Hayden safe. Once I finished cleaning myself up, I went out to the car.Hayden was asleep in the passenger seat, holding a bag on her lap.
