Pregnant And Trapped By The Ruthless Billionaire CHAPTER EIGHTEEN – EVEN MEN HAVE FEELINGS
MASONI have no idea how long I stand there and wait for the doctor to inform me that he’s joking. I have no idea how many times I silently scream at him to laugh in our faces and call all of this a big joke. Honestly, at this point, I wouldn’t even get mad.But when he still says nothing while Mira nearly cries her eyes out in the background, I finally lose my temper.One minute, I’m trying to wrap my head around everything he’s just said and the next, my fingers are wrapped around the good doctor’s throat as I threaten to choke the life out of him.“You had one job.” I growl. “Just one job. I specifically told you not to even dream of coming out of that ward alive if you couldn’t save all of them. Now you’re telling me that my best friend has lost his child?”The doctor’s face is slowly turning purple as he struggles and flails in my grip. At this point, my rage is way too venomous to guarantee that he might come out of this alive.The choking pressure in my throat grows worse and

ANONYMOUS “What do you think?” I ask him when I’m done relaying all my plans for the next few weeks.He stands to his feet, all six foot four tall glass of gorgeous man. My core clenches with heat as he stalks in my direction.“You are one sexy, devious woman, Hayley Stephens. You’re not showing Mason any mercy this time, are you?” He growls.My lips stretch in a smile and I scoot further against the bed, my thighs falling open in preparation to accommodate his large frame.“Why, thank you. I owe it all to you, you know. You taught everything I know.” My voice drops as hatred infiltrates my heart for a split second.“And no, I do not intend to show them any mercy. If this plan goes well, it will be the final straw that would finally break them. It would be their end.”My stomach dips with anticipation as he crawls atop the bed and between my spread thighs, settling his heated, big frame against me.I wrap my arms around him and press him harder against me.“We haven’t fucked in a wh

MIRAMy pulse pounds wildly as I take in Halloway’s drooping shoulders and defeated expression. Something tells me that whatever she’s about to tell us will change the narrative of everything going on here forever.“What is it, Halloway?” I ask shakily.“Speak!” Mason bellows and I jump, completely startled.“Damon and Vanessa both need to hear this. It affects them as well.” Halloway mumbles, ratcheting my suspicions.It all happens in a blur. One minute, Mason is standing beside me and the next, he’s across the room and hovering over Halloway, his shoulders stiff and threatening.“Don’t you think you’ve done though?!” He growls. “Don’t you think you’ve caused enough damage? You’re fucking delusional if you think I’m letting you anywhere near them. And to think that I trusted you, you two-timed, two-faced bitch.”I wince at Mason’s harsh words but I know she deserves it. She deserves everything she gets for trying to hurt us. For actually succeeding in hurting us.Halloway’s eyes fi

MIRATwo hours later, Damon finally wakes up and keeps asking for Vanessa. It takes quite a lot of pleading on our part, but the good doctor finally permits Vanessa to be transferred to his room. I stand back and watch them for a while, my heart growing tight as my best friend holds him tight and he tells her over and over that he’ll be there for her.I wander back into the waiting room and my heart nearly stops at the sight of Mason probably trying to intimidate Halloway once again while she does a great job of standing her ground.“…I already told you. I need to speak to all of you. Time’s running out and my gut tells me that my sister is planning something big.”“Mason…” I cut in before he starts speaking, placing a hand on his shoulder. He turns those intense eyes on me and I nod silently.“I think Halloway actually has something to tell us. Let’s hear her out. Please.”After a moment’s hesitation, he finally nods and eases off, although his shoulders are still rock hard with tens

MIRAI watch closely, my heart in my mouth, as Mason makes his tenth call in the past twenty minutes. “Anna.” I whisper. “Oh my God, Anna. Dutch. What if something has happened to them? What if they’ve been harmed?”Mason is standing before me in a split second. He takes my hand in his and kisses my palm softly.“I don’t want you to worry, baby, okay? I’ll bring them back. I promise.”His eyes gleam with intense determination and before I can do anything about it, I find myself nodding in agreement. I trust Mason. If he says he’ll bring them back, that is exactly what he’ll do. “I trust you.” I whisper as I curl against his chest. “I trust you, Mason. Please bring them home safe and sound. Please…”He places a soft kiss on my hair and holds me tight for a few seconds, letting me draw comfort from his delicious heat. All too soon, he steps back and grabs his jacket from the sofa.“I have to go. The private plane that’ll be taking me to Rome is already on standby. I cannot involve t

MIRAI have no idea why, but I find myself sliding to the floor as I prepare to read the rest of the letter. Suddenly, my legs can no longer hold me up.I know I’m supposed to trust Mason with my life, but there’s a suspicious, niggling feeling that has been burning in my guts since I started getting these letters.If there’s something wrong, I hope I get to find out whatever it is today.The rest of the letter reads;“…Escobar Scuderi is a very powerful man. Yes, he’s still alive, and he still controls the Las Vegas Crime Syndicate.The fateful day you fell into his trap is that same day you met Mason Lachlan.”I freeze completely, my heart drumming a crazy, painful rhythm as I scan through the rest of the letter.“…do you remember the young man whom Escobar called his nephew? The young man whose bed you were tied to and almost raped at Escobar’s underground brothel when you were just nineteen years old?If you’re thinking what I believe you’re thinking, then you’re absolutely right.

MASONWe touch down on a private helipad in Rome at exactly fifteen minutes past the hour of two. I’ve briefed my guards severally on everything I expect from them but I still feel the need to do it all over again;“Okay, everyone. The address that was sent to me is 11, Tor Bella Monaca street. From my findings, that is one of the most dangerous, crime-ridden streets in Rome. We need to tread carefully.Do not make yourself known or visible unless you get my sign. Ensure to stay as low as you possibly can. Our main priority are Anna, Dutch and Hayley’s step son, Nino.Do not take any unnecessary chances. The moment the kids are secured, whoever grabs them first should make sure they’re evacuated and taken to the safe house. Understood?If you feel threatened in any way, you have my permission to shoot. However…”“Boss,” the security guard stationed at the plane’s main entrance called as he walked in. “There’s someone here to see you.”My brows crease in surprise and confusion.“Someone

MIRAI have no idea how long I just sit there and stare into space. My heart is swollen stiff and beating an odd, painful rhythm against my ribcage, and my shoulders are droopy with exhaustion.I pick up the next photo with trembling fingers and hurriedly scan through the short note on the back;“…this is the day he set your parents’ store on fire. When he walked into the underground brothel on the day you were being held captive, he’d just finished the job. Isn’t that wonderful…? He touched you with the same hands he used in killing the ones you love.”My heartbeat accelerates as I slowly flip the picture over. I thought I’d be prepared for it. I thought it would be easier to handle this time, but I guess I was wrong. It hasn’t gotten easier.The sight of our small store completely overtaken by angry, orange flames hurts like a fucking bitch all over again. Time didn’t heal this wound… and I don’t think it ever will.My mind conjures memories of all the back breaking hard work whi

Pregnant And Trapped By The Ruthless Billionaire EPILOGUE – HAPPILY EVER AFTER
THREE YEARS LATER... MIRA “Hello, beautiful.” I look up from the cake batter before me and my heart literally sings with joy as I watch my husband come in through the back door of our Victorian home. His handsome face breaks into a full blown smile and those smoky gray orbs shine as bright as the midday sun. I drop the whisk in my hand into the bowl and open my arms wide, beckoning at him with a grin of my own. Without hesitation, Mason covers the distance between us and wraps his strong arms around my waist. He lifts me off the floor and twirls in a half circle, eliciting giggles of delight from my throat. He finally puts me down and buries his face in my neck. “Mmm, you smell delicious. Did you miss me?” I whisper against his chest. “Yes, baby. I missed you so, so much.” My heart warms at those words, but I can’t help but tease him. “You saw me just twenty minutes ago.” He holds me tighter and breathes in the scent of my hair. “It doesn’t matter. The last twenty minut

MIRAI nearly sag from the force of relief that spirals through my veins.My lips stretch in a smile and before long, my pregnancy hormones kick into action and I’m crying all over the place. “Mira!” I hear my sister scream behind me. “He’s awake! Mason has finally woken up!”She wraps her arms around me from behind and I lean into her and shut my eyes, soaking in her love and relief as I sob against her chest.Before long, Vanessa also wraps her arms around us and we stay like that for a long, long time. Anna pats my hair and whispers.“I knew he’d wake up. I just knew it.”I lift my head slowly and stare at her through my tears.“How did you know?”She shrugs.“After he rescued Dutch and I from Halloway and her evil sister, he promised that he’ll always protect us. Mason always keeps his promises.”My tears fall faster and I cup her cheek, trying to smile.“He does, doesn’t he?”“Come on, pregnant lady. You need to sit down.” Vanessa chirps in.With Anna and Vanessa on both my side
Pregnant And Trapped By The Ruthless Billionaire FIFTY ONE – BACK TO ASHES
LILYTHREE WEEKS LATER…“So, Mrs. Lachlan, what do you plan on doing with your husband’s ashes? Have you thought about that yet?”I sit before the therapist, totally swathed in a feeling of numbness. I’ve felt numb for the past three weeks. The only emotion that has kept me company during this dark time is pain… venomous, excruciating pain. “I don’t know yet.” I whisper, patting my swollen tummy absentmindedly.I don’t want to be here but Vanessa and Damon forced me to come after my third failed suicide attempt. They don’t understand. How can they? How can they understand that I might’ve lost my reason to wake up every morning? How can they understand that Mason is gone and I cannot live without him?How will they understand that I do not believe I have the strength to raise these children on my own?How will they understand that when the doctors pronounced him dead, I wanted to die, too?The therapist, a petite Korean lady, clears her throat and shifts closer.“Mrs. Lachlan, don’t
Pregnant And Trapped By The Ruthless Billionaire FIFTY – DEATH
MASONWhile I’m still trying to deal with my shock, Scuderi’s hold on my neck tightens, blocking out any form of air from passing through my windpipe. My vision becomes increasingly blurry and my head starts to spin.“Get a hold of yourself!” My subconscious screams when I’m on the verge of passing out.At the last minute, I decide that I’m not gonna die like this. I promised Mira that I’ll come home. And I always keep my promises.Just when my uncle thinks he’s winning, I muster the last dregs of my energy and shoot up my free arm, striking him square on the jaw and dislodging him from my body immediately.“Fuck!” He snarls, falling to the side with a pained grunt. A greater part of me just wants to lie there and catch my breath, but deep down, I know that if I waste even a second here, I might not make it out alive.I quickly jump to my feet and pick up the nearest object I can use as a weapon — a baseball bat. When I turn to my uncle, he’s trying to crawl away like the coward he
Pregnant And Trapped By The Ruthless Billionaire FORTY NINE – WAR AND REVELATION
MIRAThe moment I open my eyes in the morning, I know something has gone horribly wrong. I feel Mason’s side of the bed and it’s cold. Very, very cold. Dread crawls up my spine as I hurriedly sit up, trying to understand what the hell is going on.“Mason?” I call, pulling the covers aside and getting to my feet. “Mason, where are you? Are you in the bathroom?” Silence greets me. Stone cold silence.I pad barefoot to the bathroom, my stomach tightening with fear as I go. Ten minutes later, I’ve searched the entire room and even the closet, but he’s still nowhere to be seen. Now, I really begin to panic.I pull the door open with the intention of searching the rest of the house for him and standing just outside with two papers in her hand and tears streaming down her cheeks is Vanessa.I freeze, horrific images already swirling through my tired brain.“Nessa, what happened? Why are you crying? What are these papers?”She walks past me and climbs onto the bed, her shoulders tremblin

MIRAMy cheeks redden in embarrassment as I quickly look down at my bare feet. I raise my head slowly, already dreading the anger I’ll see in Mason’s eyes.However, when our gazes meet, all I see is worry and concern. He cups my heated cheeks with his palm and murmurs;“What happened, baby? Did you need something?”I’m about to reply when someone slams the table behind us and sneers.“What is this, Mason? Can’t your wife see that we’re in a meeting? How dare she interrupt us? And you’re just going to stand there and do absolutely nothing about it?”I whirl in the direction of the voice to find a stout, middle aged man glaring at us with fire in his eyes. Mason stiffens against me moments before he growls.“What did you just say to me?”The man tries to repeat himself but Damon places a hand on his arm and tries to force him back into his seat.“You do not want to get on his bad side, my friend. Especially when it comes to his wife.”The man looks from Damon to Mason and finally lowe
Pregnant And Trapped By The Ruthless Billionaire FORTY SEVEN – WORRYING DISCOVERIES.
MIRAWe’ve been back in New York for a week now and Mason seems to grow more overprotective with every passing second. He doesn’t let me do anything… and I mean, anything at all. Sometimes, it’s a real struggle to convince him that I can brush my teeth on my own. Sheesh.I swear, if I didn’t love him too much, I’d have dumped his overbearing arse down the Himalayas mountain by now. Today is one of those days I dread very, very much. It’s one of those days when I have to convince Mason to let me step a foot outside.“But please, oh please…” I beg. “I promise we’re just going skinny dipping in the pool. We’ll be back before you know it.”“Absolutely not.” He says firmly as he knots his immaculate blue tie.I huff and flop on the bed.“Be careful.” He calls from his position in front of the mirror.I finally snap. “What?!”He turns to me, looking gorgeous and edible as ever.“Don’t hit yourself on the bed too hard. Lie down softly.”A incredulous laugh escapes me.“I shouldn’t hit mys

MIRAMason and I hurry through our bathroom niceties and five minutes later, we’re walking into the living room.“Wait for me here.” He says, motioning at a sofa. “I’ll handle them.”“No.” I retort as gently as I can. “I’m coming with you.”He lifts a brow.“There might be a possible threat out there, baby girl. Sit still while I handle it.”In response, I walk past him and gesture at the door.“Isn’t it great that I have you here in case of such threats?” I argue coyly. “Besides, haven’t you been taught never to argue with a pregnant woman?”His face is hard and unyielding for a second and I fear that he might force me to remain inside. To my surprise, his lips tilt in one of those sexy half smiles and he covers the distance between us with two long strides. Mason leans forward and places a soft kiss on my forehead.“I didn’t know stubbornness came with pregnancy as well. Fine, you can come. But you’ll stay behind me at all times. Understood?”I nod eagerly. I even salute and everyt
