JACKSON ~ARIANNA~ The following morning when I flattered my eyes open, I found a plate of food on the floor and even though I wanted to chuck it inside my mouth in one go since I was hungry, I decided not to eat from it. I closed my eyes and slept on the floor with a blanket underneath me and rel
NEW YORK, JANUARY 2010 ~SIENNA~ "Babe, you need to relax. Look at me," Lawrence smiled. "Take a deep breath and relax, okay?" I looked at his beautiful eyes and breathed. For a moment, I felt a lot better and ready to head out of the car and go to his family house so that he could officially int
JACKSON ~ARIANNA~ "Catch her before she escapes!" A voice shouted behind me as I ran toward a tar road. I gathered up all my strength to run as fast as I could as the van drew closer to me. I knew that if I got away and got help, I would be able to get Noah back home before they could do anyth
JACKSON ~SEBASTIAN~ "If you want to talk with me, untie me, because the way things are right now, you need a deal with me to survive. Not the other way around." I was crossing my fingers, hoping that he wouldn't try anything funny with me before Ian could show up. I wasn't even sure that he wou
NEW YORK ~SIENNA~ "Mom, is Arianna okay wherever she is?" Connor asked as he sat down next to me on the couch in the living room. I sighed as I sat up straight and wrapped my arm around his shoulder. "I hope she is. Daddy will bring her back home soon," I answered as I looked toward the front d
JACKSON ~SEBASTIAN~ While Ian's men held Oliver and his guys at gunpoint, Ian walked over to AJ and covered him with a blanket while I turned to Oliver's wife. I crouched to her level and looked at her for a moment as she groaned and squirmed on the chair. "How about I take off the mouth cloth
JACKSON ~ARIANNA~ "Look around. We have to find her, or we are toast." "This is absolutely bullshit. Do you see her anywhere? No!" The guy snapped. "Who knows how far she could be right now? It's not our fault that Nick fucked up and let her escape!" "Unfortunately, buddy, that doesn't matter.
JACKSON ~SEBASTIAN~ "Where are they? Are your men still coming with my daughter?" I asked as I slipped Oliver's phone from his pocket and called the recent number on his contacts. "You better tell them to be quick before I lose my patience," I hissed as I placed the cell phone against Oliver's e
NEW YORK ~SIENNA~ Sebastian and I were pacing up and down outside Daphne's hospital ward, impatiently waiting for her doctor to come and tell us if she was going to be alright. After we found her unconscious in her apartment in Michigan, Sebastian suggested that we fly her over to New York and a
MICHIGAN ~DAPHNE~ "Come on, I won't hurt you. I know you want this as much as I do, love," Elias whispered in my ear in the bathroom. "I can't, Elias. Luke is sleeping, and besides that, I gave birth 5 weeks ago and can't -" "You can suck my dick if I can't penetrate," he said as he licked my e
NEW YORK ~SIENNA~ "No, baby, no," I cried. "You can't do this to me. Not now. We have a baby on the way. We need you. We all need you, please," I leaned down on his chest and cried. He was bleeding and losing a lot of blood. But when I heard the police siren sound in the distance, I felt a bit r
MICHIGAN ~DAPHNE~ "Mr. Martinez sent us to bring you this, Miss," two delivery boys reported as they gave me two boxes of gifts. "Oh, thank you." I smiled at them as I took the gifts and closed the door after I was done signing on their clipboard. It had only been two days, but I couldn't cou
NEW YORK ~ARIANNA~ "Tell me when you're home," Noah stated as I hopped out of the Uber outside my house. I had forgotten that I left through the backyard gate as I went to the main gate and asked for security to open up for me. "Yes, I'm home. You can chill now, Rambo." "Rambo?" I chuckled
MICHIGAN ~DAPHNE~ I hardly slept a wink that night, scared of what could happen to me and little Luke if I even closed my eyes for an hour after receiving threatening texts from Luke's wife. After tossing and turning non-stop, I finally got up from the bed, went to the closet, and started packin
NEW YORK ~SIENNA~ "You're in my den, assholes." Lawrence snarled. "It's either my way or the highway." Sebastian and I were caught off guard when four men emerged from hiding in the room and pointed their guns at us. I swore under my breath, just thinking that we were in deep shit the moment I
MICHIGAN ~DAPHNE~ (KNOCK KNOCK) I jumped when I heard the sudden knock on the door late in the afternoon. Ever since my last call with Ian last night, it had been quiet, and I was so sure that he had decided to stay out of my hair and left me alone. I was still healing from giving birth and
NEW YORK ~SIENNA~ "Don't worry, once your husband gets here, maybe I will go easy on you." Lawrence whispered in my ear after getting me tied up on a chair. "I never did anything to you. Why are you doing this to me? I don't understand because you're the one who ended our relationship when you f
