[ Colton ]

"It's fine if you don't want to tell me the details. In fact, I don't care if she cheats on you or you go behind her back. It's your personal matter and I am nobody to poke my nose in your life." She shrugged her shoulders but her eyes said otherwise, like she peeked the interest in my life. She still bothered by new changes in my life.

"No, it's not like that, I mean sorry if you took my silence wrongly." I clarified and saw her eyes moving on me again.

"Seriously, Colton. If you don't feel comfortable in sharing it with me then let's not talk about it. She's your wife and it must remain between you two." She said and each time she referred herself an outsider, it pricked me in the heart.

"When you told me to dig into her dirt that night, it forced me to re-analyse everything. I recalled my past with Evanca as a neutral person as emotions always clouds our fair judgement and guess what-"I stared deeply into those mystical orbs who had many secrets and sorrowful memories bu

    [ Evangeline ]I nervously look down on the papers. The black inked words seemed like tiny ants on white sheets as my mind trailed of the worst outcomes of the day's events.It's the trial day.I couldn't sleep for the whole night. Many things ran at the same time inside my head including my conversation with Colton and his departing words. He wasn't ready to give up on the case which means I had to tell Chase the truth of his existence sooner than I planned or never planning to tell."Eve, don't stress yourself. I told you thousand times that they'll loose it in the first hearing. I have the best lawyers working on this case for over a month." Dominic rubbed my back to release my stress but it didn't help."You won't understand, Dom. There is a constant uneasiness in my heart like something is going to happen. Something I or you or anyone haven't imagined. I just can't pin this feeling." I looked up at him with helplessness and moisture sitting on the rim of my eyes."I promised you

    [ Evangeline ]I felt my head throbbing like I hit a rock. I tried to open my eyes but couldn't do so. I could hear incoherent voices but they were indecipherable for my foggy mind. All I remember Camilla's crying face and-My eyes jolted open despite the sharp pain that shot through my skull. I still felt dizzy but I didn't care if death was waiting for me. I wanted to see my son."Cha..Chase." I coughed as I tried to speak. My throat was dry."Hey, Eve, calm down." Dominic's soft voice reached into my ear and I turned to my right side where I saw him sitting, the worry lines on his face answered my questions.He helped me to drink some water."How are you feeling now?" He asked me while rubbing my back gently. I felt an iv connected to my vein."Where is Chase?" I asked him ignoring his first question."Don't stress yourself, Eve. Please calm down." He avoided answering me, instead told me to to rest."Where is my son, Dominic?" I asked him again in a firm voice and detatched the i

    [ Evangeline ]My mind couldn't rest at peace. I kept pacing too and fro in the living room for almost three hours but there's no news on Chase nor I received any call from Dominic which grew my anxiety on a threatening point. My tears had no barriers as they roll down from my eyes uncontrollably.Suddenly my phone rang. I quickly picked it up thinking it's Dominic but it turned out to be Colton."Where's my son?" I demand him."Calm down, Eve and listen to me first." He says in a gentle tone but I could sense the worry behind his calm composure."The hell I am going to listen to your bullshit, Colton Black. My son has gone missing and it's you and your family behind this but mark my words, if a single hair on his body is hurt, I am going to burn your world down." I growled at him like a wounded lioness."I can never harm my own child, Evangeline and you know it but I may know where my father has kept him." He said and it took me all my sanity to not smash his head."Where is he? I am

    [ Evangeline ]"Are you sure we should go alone?" I asked Colton who seemed alert even by a passing man. He didn't bring any security at such place where we might be attacked and no one would notice."It won't take more than five minutes, Eve." He replied and squeezed my hand to assure me. Surprisingly, it comforted me in a strange way.We took the elevator to the 10th floor of the old building. The paint has peeled off a long time ago, there's only noise coming from everywhere."I know it's hard for you to bear this. It may have refreshed some memories for which I am responsible." I heard him saying."You have no idea, Colton. The place where I stayed for two years, it was much more worse than this place. I had to spend many nights with no electricity and warm water in chilly winter nights. Marrying you cost me my life." I replied remembering those nightmarish days."I know and I regret it in every single moment of my life." He said in a low and ashamed voice."Don't be guilty becaus

    [ Evangeline ]By the time we reached at the mansion, it was around eleven in the night. I noticed more security wrapped around the mansion and it took me no time to guess that Dominic found out about I being missing from the house.I switched off my phone in the fit of my anger and it was obvious that Dominic might gone ballistic in my unannounced disappearance."It seems your husband is ready to kill the person who walks inside first and I do not intend to be the martyr." Colton said humorlessly."It's my fault actually. So, let me be the martyr here." I said. The car stopped right in front of the gates as Dominic's guards surrounded the car as if we were the President of the country.I stepped down first and the visible relief on their faces told me that Dominic had gone hard on them but they widened as their eyes landed on Chase."Ma'am, where have you been? We have looked everywhere for you and Sir-" One of them approached me but paused in the middle as his eyes landed on Colton

    [ Evangeline ]It might be around three in the morning but sleep was far away from my eyes though my body was screaming for rest but many disturbing questions kept running inside my head and the more I pressured my mind for the answers, the more they became complex leaving me to find myself in a myriad of uncertainties and lies around me specially when Colton accused Dominic of being a liar.What did he lie about?"You have no idea how I felt when I thought I lost you forever and won't see you again in my life," I leaned down and caressed my son's hairs softly, my eyes again welled up but they were the happy tears.He smiled in his sleep as if he recognized my touch and snuggled into my chest. I slipped in his tiny bed which was a bit uncomfortable for me but I didn't mind as long as I had my baby close to me. Pulling him into my embrace I pecked his hairs for the last time before closing my eyes to catch some sleep but at the same time the door creaked open. I didn't need to look at

    [ Colton ]It had been five days since the incident happened. I couldn't feel at peace as the paranoia of seeing my son in any danger again. Surprisingly, my father had been quiet and laid low profile. We didn't communicate nor he tried to meddle in my life for straight forty eight hours, the longest in my lifetime when Francis Black didn't show up with one of his shitty commands.I appointed my own security team around the school and the route from Dominic's house to the school even though an army of guards always surrounded my son. I give the shot to Dominic who really loves my son but again, I can't see another man taking my place and Dominic had been taking every possible shots to replace me.I won't let that happen at any cost. I am missing my son terribly. I haven't met or seen him in these five days which grows my desperation. I need to see him and I'm going to the park as it's his playtime. My men informed me that he's accompanied by my mother and Evangeline's mother whom I ha

    [ Brandon ]I groaned in annoyance as the sunrays falling on my face forced me to wake up. I hardly got time to rest during week days and the day was the only day when I could get some sleep and spend time with my family.I patted the space beside me to pull Emma closer to me but much to my dismay, the space was cold and empty. She had already woken up."I hate mornings." I sat straight on my bed and ran my fingers through my messy hairs. I winced when I felt pain on my back."Emma Black, you're totally a vixen." I muttered as they were scratches given by her last night.I glanced at the time, it showed seven fifteen in the morning. I didn't intend to wake up this early but I wasn't going to catch sleep again. So, I dragged my body out of the bed and rushed to bathroom to do my mornings business before I search for my lovely wife and my bundle of joy, our son. Who was quite a naughty boy for his two years old age.I felt my muscles relaxing under the luke warm water. After fifteen min

    [ Emma ]I had no words to describe how those three seconds felt when the obsessive woman shot the gun and the sound resonated in the air.My ear begun to ring and vision got blurred for a moment."Emma!"Brandon's ear deafening scream followed breaking the silence and I found myself pressed to his chest."You're okay?" He asked checking my face and body for any possible sign of injury."Yes..yess."I somehow whispered and buried my face more on his chest. I could practically count his heartbeats. I was still shaking in the trauma. If I wasn't hurt, Brandon looked fine then who was the victim?"I was scared to death but thank god you're fine, love." He showered my face with kisses."Ahh, you..you son of a bi..bitch ahh." A painful whimper forced us to follow the voice and I felt bile rising in my throat when I saw blood on the floor and a wounded Fiona shooting daggers at us."Thank God, I walked in at the right moment. This bitch has always gotten into my nerves." Mrs. Black's voice e

    [ Brandon ]Emma's courageous come back on Fiona left me in complete shock and it resulted in every single fibre in my body to drown in guilt. I indeed took her as damsel in distress unintentionally. I actually never tried to see through her.There was a tigress in a fawn's skin. Emma didn't flinch or intimidated by Fiona, the woman who could bring the universe down just by a single glare of her cunning eyes.Emma faced her with no fear and actually warned her to stay out of our lives. Well, I wanted it to be like this way but I had a feeling that the storm was approaching us.A week had passed since our meeting with Fiona at the restaurant. Our life fell back on normal routine and luckily we got a Sunday together to relax at home."Umm..yeah, just like this." She moaned sweetly, her head dropping back while I moved inside her on a very slow pace.Her pregnancy hormones turned her into a wild vixen, nowadays she wanted sex more than I did and currently we were having sex in the music

    [ Emma ]"Emma Black?" The beautiful woman smiled at me like she knew me for years."Do I know you?" I asked her straight. I might had sounded rude but one thing I learnt from Brandon, being too polite or good to others may backfire sometimes."No, you don't." She shook her head slightly, her smile not leaving her plum lips,"But you're the woman who changed Don. He's a complete opposite person than I knew him once. I like this version of him." She talked in riddles."Don? Who is Don?" I frowned and honestly she started getting into my nerves. I wanted to walk away as the earlier encounter with Brandon was taking a toll over me but her magnetic personality caught me there."Oh sorry, I thought he told you-" She started but her rest of the words died down in her throat when we felt the intimidating presence of Brandon.He snaked his arm around my waist and I felt thankul that he came on mean time. She was giving me a creepy vibe."Don, you're here. What a pleasant surprise!" She exclaim

    [ Emma ]"This dress is looking pretty on you, Ma'am. Black is your color." Rachel, who was assisting me to get ready for my date and after trying half dozen dresses, she approved the black bodycon dress with a sweetheart neck and quarter sleeve."You sure?" I glanced at her and again checked my reflection in the mirror. The dress fit me perfectly."Yes, Ma'am, this one is perfect for your dinner date. Mr. Black won't be able to take his eyes off you." She said in a teasing way."My husband can't ever keep his hands and eyes off from me, it really doesn't matter what I wear or how I look, Rachel." I said."That's, true. We have never seen him this happy before. You changed him." She replied while doing my hairs."You shouldn't tie your hairs, they look more prettier when you leave them open, Ma'am. She commented."You have a good knowledge of hair and styling. You should had persue your career in that." I said to her.A sad smile appeared on her face,"I thought about it but sometimes o

    [ Brandon ]It had been three days since we returned from Seattle. We stayed there for two days as Emma too wanted to visit the famous places of the city. It was a memorable trip. We had a lot of fun and for a brief time, I forgot about Fiona and other problems in my life until the present time.I had to tell her. Although, I hadn't seen Fiona or received any threats from the sender, I had to tell her anyways before she got to know this from a third person."May I come in, Boss?"I tore my eyes from the computer screen to my beautiful wife who had the pregnancy glow on her face. She was leaning on the door."Yes, you may, Mrs. Black." I leaned back on my chair.She walked leisurely towards me. Her red skirt and white blouse. She could kill a man by the red shade of her lipstick. I should ban her from applying it because I was having a boner just by looking at her luscious lips and cute bangs.Yes, Elle forced her for a new haircut and I must admit, it gave her a combination of innocen

    [ Emma ]"I can't believe whatever doctor said. We're having a baby." She whispered. Tears welled up in our eyes."Yes, we're having a baby, Emma. It's a shock for me as well but I'm feeling on the top of the world. I am going to be a Dad soon and you're a Mom." I kissed her forehead. In that moment, we forgot everything that had been going in our lives."Mr. Black, we'll discharge Mrs. Black by nine in the morning. She has just a cut on her forehead, nothing serious but you must consult a gynecologist for the pregnancy monitoring. Otherwise she is fit to travel."The doctor told us."Thanks, Doctor but please keep it confidential. We'd be very grateful if this news doesn't come out. Our child's life can be on stake. I hope you understand." I requested the doctor.He gave me a reassuring nod,"Don't worry, Mr. Black. We keep our patient's profile confidential. We're leaving for now. A nurse will keep a check on Mrsm Black until she's here." He said and left with the other medical staff.

    [ Brandon ]The night turned out to be the dawn of my painful memories surging back on the canvass of my present. The encounter with Fiona after a decade brought back the agony, pain and cut open the deep wounds of the past.I hadn't told Colton about the encounter with Fiona. He was having a great time with his family and it'd be selfish of me to but a brake on his happiness.She was my demon to deal with.The clock stuck nine in the night, I hadn't talked with Emma throughout the day as it was one of the busiest days. We had a brief conversation twenty-four hours ago. I couldn't gather the courage to tell her that my past was back to haunt me in the present.The loud blaring of my phone diverted my attention from my laptop to my phone screen. It was flashing Damien, my head of security and most trusted man whom I sent after Emma and Elle.I wasted no time in swiping the green button and place the phone near my ear."What's it, Damien?" I asked him before he could say a word."Boss,

    [ Emma ]"Are you serious? I mean you ripped that man off his reputation in front of everyone even his own subordinates like a total badass?" Elle exclaimed in disbelief when I narrated her everything that happened at the office.It was hell of a dramatic day. When I returned to my hotel room, I was completely exhausted."Yes, he seemed ready to eat me alive if he was given a chance. I felt bad for the others though, they acted upon his orders to save their jobs but they cheated the company. I had to remove them. If they could be bought once, they'd do it again." I sighed and rubbed my aching head."You need rest, Emma. I am observing you since yesterday. You don't look quite good. I think you should visit your doctor for a routine check-up." Elle said with concern."I am fine, Elle. It just the tension and over workload I have been taking for a long time or I say since I was promoted."I tried to assure her but deep down I knew that I wasn't fine."Emma, don't torture yourself.
