[ Evangeline ]"Mia has been kidnapped by the same bad people who took you away from us."He blinked his eyes at me in confusion."You mean those bad people took Mia just like they kidnapped me?" He repeated my question."Yes, baby, they have Mia but your Daddy and all of us are doing our best to bring her back home." I added so he could feel less insecure and scared of them but he looked pretty calm much to my surprise."I know, Daddy loves us a lot and he will find her just like he found me." He said.I felt my breathing getting normal again. I pulled him into another hug. He too wrapped his tiny arms around my neck."Don't worry, baby. We'll bring your sister back in no time. I promise you." I kissed his hairs.I spotted Colton leaning on the doorframe with moisture in his eyes. I gestured him to come inside and join us to comfort our son who needed his both parents more than ever.He took silent steps inside the house and crouched down to our level. Chase broke the hug feeling hi
[ Colton ]The conversation between I and Chase turned out to be very fruitful as my son spilled a name which might lead us to our enemies who had been laying low profile. They were untraceable. Our team checked the penthouse and discovered that they left in the same night when Dominic pulled that stunt."Are you still thinking about what Chase said?" Evangeline's musical voice snapped me out of my thoughts.I turned to face her and the face which used to made my day merrier came into view. She was holding two cups in her hands."Here, some coffee. I thought you might need it and I guess I was right." She forwarded a cup in my direction.I quickly took it from her and sipped the content. It didn't taste like old times when she used to prepare my morning coffee and sometimes during my midnight work."You prepared it?" I raised my eyes above the rim of the cup. I knew the answer but I wanted her to speak to me.She shook her head in denial,"No, the kitchen staff. I rarely lifted a spoon
[ Evangeline ]What's happening to me?I and Colton shared a kiss. I couldn't resist him, in fact, I started craving for him more. I wanted to stay close to him. Initially, I blamed my hormones for corrupting my emotions but I knew it's a lie I had been telling myself.I needed him so badly.Not only physically but also emotionally. He could read me like an open book and for the first time, I didn't mind it at all. I was ready to be explored by him."Back to the earth, Eve." Kate's voice jerked me out of Colton land. I looked at her and found her smirking at me like she also read my mind."A penny for your thoughts?" She raised her brows."My thoughts are more worth than pennies, Kate." I rolled my eyes and tried my best to avoid looking at her."Oh come on, woman. Just spill the beans. Don't you tell me that you and Colton were fucking in your dreams?" She bluntly put forward her question which made me look down in embarrassment."Kate! You're too loud. Don't forget that I live with
[ Colton ]The conversation with Evangeline didn't end how I planned it. I went to her house with a leaping heart. I wanted to take her and Chase out for a dinner at Brandon's restaurant, of course, under tight security but what I heard in her garden broke my heart.She still sees me only as Chase's father, which is reliving for me but I want to be more than that. I want to be the partner she needs in all thick and thins. I want to old her hand whenever rough phase comes in our lives. I want us to watch our children grow. I want to die in her arms so I can have the peace I have been earning since a long time.But for that, we need to be together."Colton, I think we should deal with Miss Hailey in a different way or I don't think she'd open her mouth. These guys have either fed her a good amount of money or blackmailed her with something she holds dear. I highly doubt it's the latter." Brandon said who had been saying a lot of things but I didn't pay any heed to his words but this sen
[ Colton ]"What the hell!" I stood up as anger bubbled up in my body.This woman sitting in front of me had completely lost her mind. She was calling my daughter as hers."Hey, please calm down and listen to her. I know she wants to share more." Brandon tried to cool down my anger but the more I recall her words, the more my head started spinning.However, he nudged me to sit. Reluctantly, I sat down and focused on her."Miss Hailey, please don't play tricks with us because it's not working." Brandon said in a calmer tone."Why would I lie about my own child, Mr. Black. She is my daughter whom I gave birth on the same day, Evanca Black delivered a dead baby. I was only seventeen back then and had no one to support me with the baby. My parents were really poor. They were hardly providing to me and my three siblings. Evanca came up with a proposal. She offered my parents a huge amount of money and a bigger house in a good locality if we hand the baby to her. I wondered how Evanca came
[ Evangeline ]"You're going to Mexico?" My heart dropped in the pit of my stomach as Colton told me that he and Brandon were going to leave for Mexico in a few hours."Yes, we are leaving in an hour." He said taking a glance over his wrist watch which caught my attention.Nostalgia ran through my blood as I remembered this watch. It was my gift on his first birthday after our marriage. He didn't even opened the gift and ordered the maids to lock it in his spare room with other gifts."I have been using it since you gave it to me, Freya." He said as he noticed me staring at the limited edition watch.I bought it with my own savings.A smile crept on my lips. I vividly remember the day when I searched the whole city to find a perfect gift for him which might earn me his attention. I found this watch and immediately bought it but didn't get the chance to wish him let alone give him the gift as he celebrated his birthday at Brandon's hotel where Evanca came. I saw the pictures on Evanca'
[ Colton ]What the hell just happened!I had the most intimate moment with Evangeline and it intensified the desire I had been harboring for her. How much I wanted to explore her and satiate my uncontrollable desire for her, I had to stop. I must take a step at a time.She tasted so good!I had done something I hadn't done after my high-school. I jerked myself in the shadows of bushes in her garden as I had no time to take a shower.I would soon have her and worship her goddess like beauty. The pregnancy had added more glory to her beauty."Col, I have been ratting here for last ten minutes but I guess you don't hear a word I'm saying." Brandon's pissed off voice rang in my ear.I titled my head sideways to look at him. He looked really annoyed. My lack of interest drove him crazy. I felt bad for him. He left his work, his life and sleep to help me but here, I was busy dwelling in my wild imaginations."I am really sorry, Brand. Please continue." I apologized sincerely."I won't lect
[ Colton ]"What were you saying, son? Can you repeat it for your old father's ears?" Francis's vicious voice echoed in the walls of the living room of the house.I balled my fists. He had my daughter on a knife's point. What a coward? He used a little child to shield himself."You heard me right, Francis. Leave her and fight me like a man." I challenged him and in response, I heard his laughter resonating in the air."I am fighting you like a man but with my mind, son. I wish you could learn from me but you took after your pathetic mother who turned you into a chicken. I wanted a son who follow my steps but you only brought shame upon me." His smile turned into a hard look as he glance down at me with disgust."You're a monster, Francis. I can never follow you. In fact, you're long dead to me." I spatted under gritted teeth."You hurt my feelings, Colton. I didn't raise you to see this day. You should be thanking me for everything I gave you. You're ruling over an empire which I buil
