"Bullshit!"
"This ain't bullshit, Dante. This is reality," Sophie replied chuckling.
Dante was on the verge of tearing down the walls of the police station and dragging his brother off. He still couldn't understand or believe what it was Sophie wanted with Xavier.
"I'm sorry, Dante but that's the truth," the inspector sighed heavily.
"You promised me that if I get a clearance from the doctor, Xavier won't be charged to court," Dante said through gritted teeth.
"That was before Ms. Bennet filed a case against him and Mr. Durango refused to cancel the charges against him," the inspector explained.
Sophie grinned before whispering In his ears.
"You and I know that the clearance you got is shit. If you don't want trouble don't think about presenting that before the court else you'll land your pretty self in jail leaving your beloved all alone."
Dante watched with
Natalie stepped into the house and collapsed on her bed. She had a splitting headache from spending all day with four kids and her back ached.She was not in the mood for the drama that was why she hadn't expected to see Sophie waiting for her in her fucking room!"What are you doing here?" She yelled.Sophie waved her off. "Relax. I'm here to see Dante."She arched a brow at her. "You want to see Dante in my bedroom?""Yeah," Sophie replied winking at her.That was all it took for her to snap. She's had a very rough and unfulfilled day thinking of Jared's crazy words, why Sean met with Ricco, and what he sneaked out of the house and the kids came into the picture.Oh, and there's also a weird feeling she had since morning and now this!Her hands flew before her brain could think and before she knew it, she was in a wrestling contest with Sophie and
Six Years Ago.Dante shut the door to his grandfather's study in anger as he headed to the roof. Tears were stinging in his eyes and all he wanted was to scream and let out some of the pain and anger he felt in his heart."You are not allowed to leave this compound!" His grandfather hollered after him.He found solace by looking up at the stars but tonight was different. Tonight, he felt as though his heart wasn't in the right place.His heart had been stolen by a certain girl with beautiful brown eyes. He had asked for permission to go back to her small town that night so he could take her to the movies but Alaric refused.Damn the man!He saw an approaching car and frowned. This car was familiar and so was the driver of the car. What did Natalie's father want here that he arrived here and how did he know Alaric?Dante crept down from the roof and went to his grand
Sean smiled happily as he drove into his compound. He couldn't care less if Lisa still wanted to divorce him all he cared about was that by this time tomorrow, he will be getting an appointment in the White House.He would bring his enemies to their knees and he would have the power he's always wanted. Now, the deal was done and he just had to relax.Humming quietly, he walked into his house and greeted the kids happy. They were still awake and watching cartoons.He headed to his wife's room and saw her fast asleep at least she was but now she was staring at him with sleepy eyes."What do you want, Sean? I need to sleep I had a long day," Lisa sighed."Are you still divorcing me?" He asked suddenly.Lisa groaned muttering profanities under her breath before going back to sleep. He chuckled and left her room heading to his own where he saw Natalie waiting for him."H
Natalie drove directly to the front of Jared's underground house and parked her car. She stepped out and headed towards the staircase her heart pounding in her chest."Pleasure to see you've returned so soon, Natalie," he smirked.She frowned when she saw him standing at the edge of the stairs."Going somewhere?" She asked.He shrugged. "A guy's gotta get some pussy and I wanna get one now unless you're willing to volunteer yours."A cold shudder ran down her shoulder and she smiled."Go ahead, I'm here to see Sophie.""Sure. Have fun and be sure to wait up for me I've got something to tell you," he replied walking away.She breathed a sigh of relief and entered the apartment. She was fully aware that Sophie might kill her in this house and no one will know but she had to take the risk.Xavier's court hearing has been pushed to one week from n
Ten minutes later and Natalie was seating at a breakfast table looking shocked and Lisa's face mirroring the same expression she had.The only person whose face was intrigued was the new person she had seen standing on the stairs behind Lisa.Mr. Jeffrey Murdoch.Popularly known as Jeff or rather called Jeff by Lisa, his loving lover.Yeah, she's shocked too to find out that Lisa is having an affair with another man that wasn't Sean. Could this be the end of her fears? Natalie wondered."Just a sec, honey. Breakfast is almost ready," his raspy voice echoed from the kitchen."He must be a good cook," Natalie commented."Why did you follow me, Nat?" She hissed under her breath."We thought you were hiding something," Natalie shrugged."Well, I am," Lisa snapped."It was not what I was expecting Lisa," Natalie sighed.
Dante nodded at Dario as they finally entered the inspector's office."She's alright, she's with Lisa and they're at the hospital," Dante informed Dario."Alright let's get Xavier and go," Dario said.The inspector beamed at them when they came back inside."Your lawyer is processing the paperwork. Hold on for some time and he'll be done with it," the inspector said.Dante and Dario took a seat as they waited for their lawyer to round off."I'm so proud of Natalie. I didn't know she could pull this off," Dante said."Yeah me neither. I'd have suggested that we file a case against her but let's just keep things cool. We need to focus on Sean," Dario replied."True but I think Leo and Lee can handle that," Dante said."Alright boys, it's time to go," the inspector announced.A few minutes later they were walking
Sean drove into his compound and at that moment he knew something wasn't right. He didn't see his wife's car in the driveway only Natalie, Dante, and Dario's car.He headed inside and was met with total silence. He knew that normally they should be kids playing and running around but then, he didn't see anyone.Sean had continued into his room but still, he had the nagging feeling that something was wrong. He did not bump into Ava, Daniel, Lisa, or even Natalie for once.After a quick shower and trying to relax his unsettled nerves, he headed for Lisa's room. He pulled the door open and was surprised to see it was empty.Cold fear gripped his heart when he noticed all the properties in the room were gone as well. He raced to the kids' room but saw only Noah and Chloe. Just like he had suspected, Ava and Chloe were gone.He went to the dining room and began bellowing Lisa's name after trying to call
Dane woke up with a start. He looked around his dark room but couldn't see anything before he turned on his bedside lamp.He touched the space Natalie was supposed to be sleeping on but it was cold. He had no idea how long she had been gone but the coldness was there.His heart hammered in his chest, beating against his ribcage as he got out of bed. It was 4 am and she wasn't supposed to be anywhere but on the bed, beside him.When he left his room and headed down the stairs, he turned on the light in the sitting room and was startled at what he had seen.Noah and Natalie were wrapped around each other streaks of dried tears on their faces.What had happened? He shuddered to think that just maybe Sean had laid a hand on Natalie but then that would spell doom for him.Noah stirred awake, his hands on his sister's hair that was placed on his chest. He was twelve but he was
