Chapter 48

Emily's point of view.

I’m lying in bed trying to get some sleep, and it's not so easy with this bum in the way. I know there's no escaping from Rex, and the thought of his plans for me terrifies me. 

I can't stop thinking about Zane; I know he will try and find me, but I also know what Rex is capable of, and if he wants me to stay hidden, then no one will find me. I hope Zane can move on with his life and find someone who loves him as much as I do. That man deserves to be loved.

With a sigh, I look at the bedside clock. It's al

I am so relieved and grateful to have her back and safe in my arms, but my heart is heavy as Laila is still missing; she is not just my colleague.

You're damn right I did, but as I pull my leg back to aim another kick at his ugly fucking face, He blocks me before grabbing my hair and smashing my face into the side of the van.Well, holy shit. I didn't see that one coming. This man knows how to fight.“Arhhh”I cry out as he blocks my moves…He's quick, and I’m not expecting it.My Face hits the hard

I must have nodded off at some point as I woke up to an angel's voice as she says.“Hey, you…Hey, dickface?”I laugh as I look at her and reply.“Are you talking to me, sweet cheeks?”Her eyes flare as she looks at me with a frown on her face as she says.“Who the fuck else would I be talking to.”I laugh out loud before I look over at her as I say.“John was right about you…you are a feisty one.”She frowns as she looks back at me.“Who the fuck is John?”She asks as I stare at her and reply.“My brother, the one who's gone to get his nose straightened.” She smiles at me, the corners of her eyes filled with mischief as she says.“Arrr, you mean the Asshole.”I throw my head back and laugh; I already adore this feisty little woman, as I say.Yep, that's the one.” She cocks her head to one side taking me in as she says.“So

    The Swift Security seriesLaila Chapter 53Ben’s point of view.I'm in a sombre mood alongside the rest of the team as we travel back to the bunker after going on a rescue mission for Laila and Emily, none of us knowing that the two girls had been split up. I’m happy for Zane. I know he must have been worried, but Emily is now back in the safety of Swift Security, and she and the baby seem to be fine. However, I’m also sickened that Laila is still out there somewhere with these other two monsters, the remaining Rocco brothers, John and Adam.I'm sitting in the front passenger seat alongside Jake, who is driving the SUV back to the bunker and looking at him; I know he is just as worried as I am over Laila. He turns to look at me as he asks.“Are you okay, Bulldog?”I shrug my shoulders as I answer“No, mate, not really, It thought that we would be bringing Laila home alongside Emily.”Jake nods his head, his face grim as he replies.“Yeah! Me too, brother, me too, we will find her, Be

    The Swift Security seriesLailaChapter 54Laila’s point of viewI spent the next couple of hours talking with Adam. He honestly isn't anything like I thought he would be, and he's definitely nothing like his two brothers, although I’m keeping my judgement reserved for the time being anyway. Still, I have to admit I find Adam Rocco easygoing and don't feel the least bit uncomfortable with him. He turns to look at me, his dimple catching my eye as he speaks.“Are you hungry, Laila?”I laugh; because I have no idea when I last ate, and I reply.“I’m starving.”He smiles that lazy smile of his, the one that shows that dimple off to perfection as he says.“I can order us some food; what do you fancy?”My belly rumbles at the mention of food as I reply.“Mmmmm, I would love a Chinese takeaway right now…what about your brothers, though? Won't they mind?”Adam grins at me as he replies.“Raf has taken Emily to his house, and I haven't heard from John, not since you rearranged his face anyw

    The Swift Security SeriesLailaChapter 56Adam’s point of view.I lean in towards her looking at those perfect lips, so soft and kissable, she has no idea just how beautiful she is, and it turns me on even more. I watch her fascinated as she bites her bottom lip, knowing that I have the same effect on her as she has on me…. I lean closer and whisper into her ear.“A beautiful woman like you, Laila, deserves to be cherished and loved. Believe me, I know how hard it is to lose someone who you truly loved, but I also believe that she would have wanted me to move and not live a lonely life. She looks up at me through hooded eyes, her beautiful brown eyes shining as she whispers.“You've lost someone too?”A tear slips down her face, and I wipe it away as I reply.“Yeah, and I know how much it fucking hurts, baby…but I know in my heart she would want me to live my life. I know if it were the other way around, I would have wanted her to find love, be happy, and maybe even have a family.“

I stand frozen on the spot as she laughs,“I could make some money off this one…I wonder how much my clients would pay to fuck two pretty sisters?”I watch Ben’s face turn red with anger as he stands with his hands in the air. Madame Cara’s men are pointing their guns at Ben and his team.She chuckles, pulling me back by my hair as she says,“Well, boys, I’d like to say it’s been a pleasure doing business with you, but that would be a lie. You can't take me down. Yes, you may be able to close this brothel, but I have so many others and so many pretty girls just like this one.”She pulls me closer, and the knife digs into my throat as Ben pleads.“Please don't hurt her.”Madame Cara chuckles once more as she s

I made her promise me that she would stay in the van with the doors locked until we come out.I kiss her sweetly on her lips before I pull my balaclava down over my face.“I love you, baby,” I say before heading off into the night alongside the rest of my team; Bear is going in through the front door. Thanks to Adam, we know there are always two guards at the gate; I nod to Bear before our teams split up. Bear takes his side, and I lead mine around to the back of the house. Click throws the rope ladder over the railings before we all climb over; checking my watch, Bear should have taken the gate by now.
