His Hidden Heart Chapter 64
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.

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

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.

Hayden-I couldn’t bring myself to speak. The answer screamed inside my head, but it wouldn’t come out of my mouth. I didn’t know if I was in shock or what. I did know that Lexus was the last person I wanted to have any relation with.“Hayden?” Dominic’s tone was softer than usual.Snapping out of my trance, I blinked a few times to focus on Dominic. “Why are you asking me what I want to do?”“Because he is your cousin.”“That doesn’t make any difference. Lexus needs to face the consequences of his actions.” Looking at the information on his computer, I felt sick to my stomach.“What is wrong?” Dominic asked.“I just can’t believe I am related to someone that could do something like that.” I reached for the mouse and closed out of the files. “I can’t look at it anymore.”“Do you want to contact the lawyers?”“I don’t know.” I looked at the box sitting on the desk with the business cards inside. “I don’t think I can accept this part of my family.” I sighed.“Do you want to see what els

Hayden-When I arrived at the law office the next day, I kept wondering if I had made the right decision. Dominic was with me but remained quiet, for which I was grateful. When we were standing outside Lawyer Alexander’s office, Dominic took my sweaty hand and squeezed it lightly.“Are you sure you want to do this?” Dominic asked as we waited for the lawyer to open the door.My head screamed no, but my mouth said the opposite. “I’m sure.”“You can come in now.” The receptionist, who had entered the office to see if the lawyer was ready, opened the door and stepped to the side.“Thank you.” I smiled politely and walked past her.I expected to see only one man in the office, but there were two. They both stood upon me entering. They were both older men, but not as old as I expected. They were roughly around my mother’s age, if not a little older.“Good morning, Miss Delaney,” one of the men said as he walked toward me. “I am Alexander.” He extended a hand to me, which I took, and we sho

Hayden-“What now?” I asked, glancing between the lawyers.“Well, if you are ready to accept your inheritance, you will need to sign some paperwork. We will also go over a few things regarding some of the companies you will own. Since no one has claimed the inheritance, Lexus has taken control and has affected the way they are being run.” Lawyer Alexander answered.“That is where I come in.” Lawyer Montego picked up a box next to the couch and set it on the table. Inside is every company you will inherit, but there are a few you may choose not to inherit.”“Why is that?”“We have protected as many as we could, but some have fallen into Lexus’s hands, and he has turned them into illegal operations.” Lawyer Montego removed the box's lid and pulled out a few files. “These are the illegal companies.”I took the files and looked through each one. There was enough evidence in the files to convict Lexus of many crimes. As lawyers, I expected they would have done something about this, but at
