...Damian POV...

I grew worried for Haley. Luca had asked her to start from the beginning, but little did he realize how traumatic of an experience she'd gone through. She had put up a brave front for so long, that even I had begun to believe that she was ok. That she'd managed to block it out, and not let it get to her. But little did I realize that it was only a coping mechanism, so when she was asked to explain what happened, she was brought back to that fateful night.

I felt her convulse in my arms. She was shaking in fear, but it was more than that. Soon she began to sweat as if she had a bad fever. Kayden figured out what was happening right away, which made me wonder if this has happened before? He knew exactly what to do, yelling orders at the rest of us. Luca went to a bar fridge and grabbed some ice, and wrapped it in a towel to place on her head. I laid her on her back on the couch, hoping she would calm down.

Her breathing had become ragged, and soon I saw her eyes begin t

    Over the past few days, Luca spent all his time informing us of everything we needed to know about the Cobras. With help from his cousins, we had everything that we would need to know in order to take them down. We knew of their warehouses, informants, and all the places in which Luca felt they could be hiding Maverick. For the first time since all of this happened, I started to gain a sense of possibility. That very soon, I would be meeting my son for the very first time.I couldn't help but wonder though, how was Maverick taken in the first place? I know what Kayden had told us, but something just seemed off. As though there was something I was missing. I didn't understand how someone like Kayden managed to mess up in a way that would lead to Maverick being taken.I knew Haley didn't mess up. It would be virtually impossible for her to do so. Her profile was still hidden because of Evanish. Which meant that even if she stepped directly in front of the Cobras warehouse, they would be

    Her eyes went wide, but it also seemed as though she was expecting this."If you're thinking him and I.." She began, however, I cut her off with a wave of my hand."No. Well, at least that's not where I was going with that. Whether you have a past with Kayden or not, that's not my business. I'm not allowed to be jealous of you with another guy, simply because I'm the one that put you in that position. If I wasn't such an idiot, we could be married by now." I replied, remembering how I so rudely chucked the wedding ring I had planned on surprising her with at her face as my car sped in the other direction. I sighed, realizing the severity of my mistake.Haley stood up and took the seat next to me. She reached her hand out, and cupped my cheek, turning my head to face her. I knew she wanted to console me, but she didn't even know where to begin. That only made me feel worse. Here I'm the one that did this to us, and yet here she is consoling me. Trying to make me, the idiot, feel better

    ...Haley POV...The time had finally come to get Maverick. We had spent the next day going over our plan. Kayden felt the best plan of action was to go after him while they were receiving a shipment. Many of their members would be gone to watch over the docks while we could sneak in without them noticing. After reviewing all their hideouts, Kayden figured that Chase probably had Maverick in his own house. It was a highly guarded location, but we made sure to know every single detail of their hideout. Kayden had me look over the blueprints while he worked on surveillance. Kayden tasked Damian as a hacker. Damian needed to find a way to hack into their security cameras so that we could loop their surveillance cameras from discovering we were there. Now, I was waiting in a nearby car with Damian, as Kayden entered Chase's house. Kayden wanted us here, so there would be a quick escape car to prevent him from getting caught. We knew it would only be a matter of time until Chase figured ou

    ...Haley POV...When I woke up I was both groggy and confused. What happened? Where am I? I wondered to myself. I sat up and grabbed my head as the pain began to sear into it. I winced from the severity of the pain. I tried to open my eyes to figure out where I was. I looked around, but nothing seemed familiar. The room was practically empty apart from a bucket in the corner. The walls were made of a mud-like concrete, as the entire room was a neutral brown colour. From the ceiling to the floors. Everything was plain and dull. I closed my eyes trying to focus on how I got here. Fragments of memories began to swim in my mind. The heist. The car. The noise. The gunshots. Damian.Oh, my Gawd. Damian. The memories of Damian lying on the ground motionless woke me up. My head had begun to stop spinning, which is when I remembered that someone had knocked me out. It must've been whoever shot Damian. I feel something hard move in my fist, which is when I realize I still have the seatbelt cu

    I woke up after a long nap. That must've been the best sleep I've ever had. I stretched and smiled as I smelt the familiar smell of pancakes and bacon in the air. I got out of bed, and put on one of Damian's shirts, then made my way into the kitchen, to see Damian wearing nothing but a pair of sweatpants as he gracefully flipped pancakes in the pan. He spun around to see me watching him, and gave me his cocky smile. I referred to it as the Damian smile. It was a mix of a wink and a side smile. A look he pulled off all too well. He set down the pan and walked over to me, wrapping his arms around me. I wrapped my arms around him in return and leaned back anticipating my kiss. Damian responded right away, reaching up to hold my face as he deepened our kiss. I felt my panties grow wet from the passionate kiss. I began to get light-headed from the lack of oxygen, and gently pushed him away. Damian ended our kiss, then pulled my head into his chest, as we stood there allowing my lungs to g

    My head was absolutely spinning. I've never felt this dizzy in my life. I tried to open my eyes, but every time I did, it felt like I was going to throw up. "Haley? Haley. You need to wake up." An urgent voice called to me.I tried to open my eyes once more, only to close them tight immediately as I felt my stomach twist on itself. I felt something cool and metallic come in contact with my hand. "Haley. Please. There's no time. You need to get up." The voice called once more. I felt someone shift me so I was sitting up. I sat hunched over, with my head between my knees as my head continued to spin. I felt like absolute crap. It felt as if I entered a boxing match and had the cookies punched out of me. Whoever was near me got closer and smacked my face on either side in hopes of waking me up. I groaned as I tried to open my eyes. The moment I did, I felt myself heave forward. Whoever was in the room, must've expected it, as it wasn't landing on my lap, but rather inside of a metal

    "It all started a couple of years ago. I was an undercover cop that worked for one of the cases Jessica represented. They needed my testimony in order to get the gangster locked away. We didn't really stay in contact after that, but the night you were attacked, Jessica reached out to me." Kayden remarked, making my eyes go wide. I regretted the movement right away, as my head screamed in anger."Wait. You know Jess?" I asked.Kayden rolled his eyes at me, then nodded."That's not the point. Now listen." Kayden firmly commanded.I closed my eyes and nodded my head, trying hard to forget the pain."Jess explained what had happened, and how Chase had nearly killed you. I didn't fully understand the entire situation at the time, so decided to sit down with both Zane and Jessica to figure out what was going on. Zane explained how you had accidentally walked into an armed robbery, and were nearly killed. He told me everything from how you impersonated a CEO to Damian telling you what to do

    I nod my head in understanding. But there's one thing I don't understand."I don't understand. If you convinced Chase not to go after me, then why did he take Maverick?" I ask confused.Kayden paused for a moment, sighing. He looked away at first, then continued. "I'll explain more of that later. But to go into detail, I found out that Chase had followed Damian to England. He knew about the wedding, and had planned on getting to him then. I knew his life was in danger, so the only way I was able to protect him was by us going there as well. Which is why I told you about the wedding. I needed a reason for us to go there. I knew since Damian didn't know me, there was no way I would be able to get him to leave with me, without causing suspicion. The other issue was Jessica. I couldn't just show up at their wedding. I knew the moment she saw me, she would know something was up." Kayden replied. "Wait. So when I went to Jessica's wedding, is that why you didn't come with me?""Yes. I kne

    ...Fifteen Years Later......Haley POV...It's hard to believe that Damian and I have been married for fifteen years already. So much has happened in such a short amount of time. We experienced so many firsts together. First the birth of the twins, their first steps, as well as Sienna's first steps. Then there was preschool, middle school, high school, along with so many more precious memories. I couldn't believe how fast time had gone by. It seemed as though we were just saying our vows, but as I look at our kids playing in the backyard, a smile creeps on my face.I still remember that day as if it was yesterday. After our impromptu wedding, Damian took me aside to explain what had happened. He was just amazed that I had pulled it off without a hitch. Little did he realize how much help I received. After his initial shock wore off, I decided to explain to him why I had chosen that particular venue for our wedding. When he realized that the home we were at was ours, he was over the mo

    I felt on edge. Was I seeing properly? When I had taken the turn around the house, I had face to face with a large crowd. They all immediately jumped to their chairs and clapped. My eyes went wide in astonishment. What in the sam's blazes was going on right now?My eyes scanned the crowd which is when I noticed a bunch of familiar faces. I saw Haley's parents holding Sienna, Luca, Jace, Zach, as well as a bunch of Haley's relatives. I recognized a bunch of our friends faces before turning to see what looked like a stage. The entire location looked like it was decorated for a wedding. But what on earth was going on?Zane passed Maverick over to Zach before he made his way over to me. "Are you ready?" He asks, clapping me on the back."For what? What's going on?" I ask."Why don't you coo and find out?" Zane remarks, pulling me with him down the aisle towards the stage. He pushes me into place as I stand frozen, unable to move. My mind is spinning a million miles a minute. It's as if

    ...Two Weeks Later...Two weeks have passed from one of the worst emotional rollercoasters of my life. Just when I thought I was at the lowest point in my life, Haley surprised me with two incredible miracles. We were set to have twin boys. I couldn't be happier. Haley didn't mind either way. She was a proud mama regardless of their genders. The odd part of our story, was that we were about to have child three and four, and yet neither of us had been present for every birth. I missed the first one. Haley missed the second. So neither of us really knew what to expect. We decided not to dwell on it, and treat as it should be. Our first pregnancy together.I was looking forward to experiencing everything with her. I so desperately wanted it to be perfect. Regardless, as long as we had each other, I knew it would be."So, are you ever going to tell me where you were that day?" I ask."How about tomorrow?" She says, making me turn towards her surprised. I hadn't expected her to give in so

    By the time we got to the hospital, I was an absolute mess. I was terrified from the lack of the unknown. Was Haley ok? What about Sienna? The moment we arrived at the hospital, Sienna was taken away deeper into the hospital so they could run some tests. They had me go to a waiting area where they bring Sienna once they discovered what was wrong with her. I held Maverick in my arms, using him as a life support. If it wasn't for him right now, I doubt I would be standing up. They would need to put me in a bed as well, as my nerves were all over the place. My worry over both Sienna and Haley had gone to extremes. My mind was swirling with all the what-ifs. Was Haley in trouble? Did the Cobras go after her? Has she been kidnapped? Worse? "Mr. Stone?" As if that wasn't enough, my mind continued to plague me with fears over Sienna. What if I got to her too late? What will happen to her? Will she survive? Will she grow up to have a normal life? What did I do wrong? Was it something I di

    ...A Few Months Later...The construction on our new house was coming along swimmingly. With my connections, I had managed to secure some of the best people for this project. I worked well with Taylor, our project manager. He had so many great ideas that I could incorporate into my design. I was like a kid in a candy store. We made a great team. I would constantly bounce ideas off of him, and he would give me his input. Sometimes coming up with an even better solution. I was so happy to have him. With his insight, we had designed several hidden rooms, such as a play room, a room for the kids to hang out when they're older, even a butlers pantry. Taylor even came up with a secret passageway between the kids rooms. So that they could sneak into each others rooms. I was so thrilled with how well everything was coming along. It wouldn't be long for the house to completed at this rate. I couldn't wait to show Damian. I knew he was growing suspicious, as I was leaving the house more freque

    My conversation with Damian from last night was ringing through my mind. I knew he was stressed, but he is good at hiding it from me. I wanted to help him, but when it came to his work, there wasn't much I could do. My strengths weren't in the tech industry. I was an architect.Wait... I'm an architect. I say to myself, as if reminding myself of my talent. Which is when it hit me. I wanted to take something off of Damian's plate. If I couldn't help him at the office, then I would help him with our home. I quickly got dressed then grabbed my cell phone. I called Colton to come pick me up then had him take me to our realtors office. I had our realtor look into various locations, and then once we came up with a list, we toured each and every one of them.Just before noon, I found the one I'd been searching for. It was a secluded location not far from the main city centre. It was situated right on the lake, and boasted a stunning private sand beach. I knew the moment y eyes landed on it,

    …Haley POV…I woke up during the night to find Damian not in bed. I walked to the bathroom figuring he must be in there, only to find it empty. Realizing that he wasn’t in our room, I went to check on Maverick and Sienna, wondering if Damian had gone to check on them, however, both were sleeping soundly. I was about to head to the kitchen, when I saw a glow coming from the office. I walked inside, to see Damian fast asleep at his desk, his head buried in a mound of paperwork.“Dame.” I whisper while silently shaking him. However, to my surprise he doesn’t wake up.“Dame?” I question, a little louder this time, however, yet again, still no movement. I get on my knees before him, and run my hand through his hair. I feel him shift slightly, until he begins to stir.“Hmm?” He moans, as he turns to look at me.“Why don’t you come to bed?” I suggest, standing up to crawl onto his lap.I continue to stroke his head as his hands wrap around my waist. He buried his head in my neck, as he’s

    Damian's phone ringing woke us up the next morning. It seemed as though a critical file that needed to be sent to finalize a deal had gone missing, meaning that Damian would have to go to the office to investigate it.Damian sighed, then kissed me on the forehead before heading to the bathroom. I couldn't help myself. I turned around in the bed to watch him as he walked towards the shower."I can feel you staring." He says, without looking at me."What are you going to do about it?" I remark. I can't help it. I love looking at his ass. It's so perfect, talk about eye candy."I can't do anything right now. But just know that when I get back, I expect you naked and willing on this bed for me." Damian shouts from the bathroom. I get out of bed and follow him into the bathroom. He's already in the shower as I enter, so he's unable to hear my silent footsteps as I approach.I walk into the shower behind him, and wrap my arms around his waist, reaching down for his member. "And what if I'm

    I looked up to see Damian hover above me. I crawl backwards further into our King mattress. Damian mimics my moves as he comes closer to me. He tosses his shirt to the ground, as he hovers above me. I feel his bulge against my core, making my head tilt back in anticipation."Please." I whisper, reaching for the waistband of his pants in hopes of sliding them off."Please what?" He responds back, as he places kisses along my chest. He squeezes one of my nipples with his hand as he moves higher to kiss my neck. I can feel him sucking on it, making me wet down below. I tilt my head back further into the pillow as I give into his assault."Damian. Please." I find myself begging as I claw at his pants, trying to remove them from his waist. In one fluid motion, Damian manages to not only drop his pants but also remove his boxers, freeing his member. He traces his member along my core, teasingly.I reach for it, to push it inside me when Damian's hands reach for my wrist, pulling my hand aw
