The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 86Ruby’s point of viewMary pulls up outside the front of my house, promising me that she will get things moving as quickly as she can, and hopefully, Ysabel can then be placed in my temporary care whilst the search for any other family starts. I thank her before I turn around and walk wearily to my front door; it's been one hell of a day. I look up to see Maddox sitting on my porch. My heart melts. I’m so grateful for him being here. I really need him just now.He stands up and starts to walk towards me, that cheeky grin on his face as he says, “Hey baby, tough day at the office?”I giggle as I reply, “yeah, you could say that” Before walking up to him, he pulls me into that big hug of his…I already feel better.”He puts his arm around me and steers me towards the front door, “Come on, babes, let's get you to bed. You must be exhausted.”Maddox’s point of view.I take her key from her hand before opening the door and leading her inside, pulli
The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 87Ruby’s point of viewWere sitting on the floor of the day room where Ysabal has laid a blanket on the floor as we sit amongst a pile of stuffed toys and a plastic tea set; I smile as I look over to Maddox holding a tiny little tea cup with his pinkie finger held out. He catches me looking at him and sends me a wink, not in the least bit fazed by any of this.It makes me so happy that Ysabel looks pretty comfortable with him, and Maddox is equally at ease with her. I look at him as he smiles back at me to think that I once thought of this man as nothing but an arrogant player; how wrong was I? He's amazing.Carmel returns to the room again, looking at me as she says, “Ruby, Maddox Mary is waiting for you in the office; Ysabel could you be a sweetheart and pour me a drink.” She sits down on the blanket as Ysabel passes her one of the plastic cups pretending to pour her tea into it before she takes a pretend sip. Maddox takes my hand, pulling
The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 88Maddox’s point of viewAt last, I pull into the bunker, my safe place. I feel as though I can finally breathe, knowing that I won't have to deal with all of this on my own,I know that the team will keep Ysabel safe whilst we find some answers; I look in the mirror and Smile at Ruby and Ysabel as I say, “Okay, ladies, this is it.”We pull into the underground carpark, and I help both girls out before we make our way into the bunker; Emily is in the kitchen; she looks up as we walk in.“Oh, hello, Maddox; I thought that you were having some time off”, She asks as we waddles over to us; I smile as I look at her; she only has a couple of weeks left until the baby is here yet she is still glowing, I think that's what the ladies say.seeing her puts pictures in my head of Ruby heavy with my child…Woah…where the fuck did that come from?I smile as I reply, “Yeah, slight change of plan. Are any of the team here?” Zane pops his head through the doo
The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 89Maddox’s point of viewWe're heading back to the bunker after collecting Ruby's belongings and fitting her house with the new security system; Zane turns to me as he says, “Have you packed everything that she needs?”“I hope so; this is all kind of new to me, I say as he chuckles. I have no idea what a woman needs. To be honest, apart from the sexy underwear, of course, Zane grins as he says, “I hope you packed her some comfortable underwear and not all of her sexy lingerie.” I blush, and Adams laughs as he says, “Haha, your in trouble, Maddog.”“I tipped the whole drawer into a suitcase; I’m not sorting through a woman's knickers,” I laugh. Honestly, though, I couldn't care less what kind of knickers Ruby wears because if I have my, way she won't be wearing them long.Zane shakes his head, “haha, you shithouse, I bet you are quick enough at getting them off though” Mindreader much!I change the subject before they carry on with their ban
The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 90Ruby’s point of viewWe spent the rest of the evening at the bunker with the team; Ysabel played in her room for a while then she brought some toys into to dayroom; I smile as I look at her and Maddox sitting on the floor surrounded by colouring books and crayons, Erin is sitting next to me, and she whispers quietly, “Ysabel has really taken to Maddox, hasn't she?”“Yes, she has”, I reply with a grin.“So, what's the plan for Ysabel now?” Erin asks, and I sigh, “I’m not really sure, Erin, I promised to take her under my care, but if she has a family, then I don't know what will happen with her; I guess we will just have to wait and see.”I’m not sure how I would feel about that, yes, it would be nice if she had some family, but then that would mean another upheaval in her life, and the thought of her moving away somewhere makes me more than a little sad.“It’s strange with her father, isn't it?” Erin says as she looks over to me.“Yes, it lo
The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 91Maddox’s point of viewI wake up with Ruby still wrapped in my arms; It's funny how I always sleep well when she's with me…I slip out of bed as quietly as possible, leaving her there. I know she likes to wake up with me there, but the girl needs to catch up on some sleep.I head into the bathroom before turning the shower on and stepping inside; when I'm finished, I throw on some clothes before walking next door to check on Ysabel. I:m surprised that she slept all night.When I pop my head around the door, she is still fast asleep, holding on tight to one of the stuffed toys Laila bought her, and My heart does this funny little flip thing, strange for someone who tried to convince themselves that they never wanted a family! I smile as I close the door; this little girl would melt anyone's heart.As I make my way into the kitchen, Zane is already up and making breakfast; He smiles when he sees me and says, “Morning, Maddog.”“Good morning, y
The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 92Adam’s point of viewI'm getting myself ready to go and visit my brother….Apart from a few messages, I haven't spoken to him since the day he took a shot a Laila. I know he apologised for it and seemed regretful of everything that happened in his miserable life, but I don't know If I can ever forgive him for what he did.But today I have to go and see him. Ysabels' safety is more important than my pride. After discovering that my family supplied the kings with weapons, I need to see exactly what he knows about this family.I pull into the hospital car park before walking down the corridor towards his room, Knocking lightly on the door. I don't wait for an answer before stepping into the room.My emotions are all over the place…I have to remind myself that I’m doing this for that brave little girl taking a deep breath before I look over at him,He smiles when he sees me, “Adam.” “John”, I reply; he looks to the floor remorseful after acknow
The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 93Maddox’s point of viewI feel at a bit of a loose end today, it’s not something I’m used to. Adam has gone to see his brother to find out what he knows about this King family seeing as his brothers used to supply them with weapons., it's possible that John might be able to give him some more information.So I’ve spent the day with my girls Ruby and Ysabel. Ruby is my destiny; we were meant to be. This woman completes me. It's funny, isn't it, how you don't realise how empty your life else, how much something is missing from it until you find it. For the first time in my life, I’m happy and content, and I kind of like it.As for Ysabel, what can I say? She's such a sweet little girl. Even after all that she has been through, she's always smiling and has claimed a rather large chunk of my heart all for herself. The old Maddox would have never dreamed of wanting to be a Dad, but ever since Ysabel appeared, my heart and my head have done a comp

No better person than someone who has been there themselves, but the more she saw, the more she understood just how bad trafficking has become in Russia. Add to that Alyona becoming homesick.

The Swift Security Series Epilogue Chapter 146 Maddox and Ruby twelve months later So what about our lovable rogue, or maybe we should say loveable man-child maddog Maddox Lennox and his beautiful little sidekick Ruby? If you can remember, Maddog married Ruby a few months after she was released from the hospital, not only because he loved her more than anything in the world or because he knew he had found the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with, or because being in a stable marriage would help speed up the adoption process for Ysabel and not because she was carrying his child, but simply because Maddox being Maddox, just couldn't wait another minute longer, and he wanted to show the world that Ruby and Ysabel and the new baby were his. Edward Hall still remains in a wheelchair; three months later, the family welcomes their new baby girl into the fold Baby Eleanor and just a few weeks later, they officially adopted Ysabel.

The Swift Security SeriesBenChapter 143Mishka’s point of viewMadame Cara drags me into the room by my hair; as I look up to see Ben, the look on his face breaks my heart.“Oh, so this is your woman, Such a pretty young thing.”She whispers as she runs the blade along my neck. 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
The Swift Security SeriesBenChapter 142Ben’s point of viewI’m not fucking happy that Mishka is coming with us; I know this is her sister we are trying to save, but still, I’d be much happier knowing she was somewhere safe. 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. I count down the last few seconds, knowing as soon as midnight hits, chaos will rain down,Those ten seconds tick by agonisingly slow before Bear's voice booms
The Swift Security SeriesBenChapter 141Mishka’s point of viewThe teams are getting ready to move in. I watch Ben as he puts his gear on, checking his weapons before slipping on his Kevlar vest.Ben turns to look at me as I start to tie my trainers.“No baby,” He says. I look at him shaking my head, “She is my sister, Ben; I’m coming with you.”“You can't….I can't take the chance of you being hurt, Mishka or worse, I've only just got you back, baby…Please don't do this…You are not trained….”The look he gives me breaks my heart, but this is my baby sister. We are talking about what if she needs me. I have to be there…I have to go…I have to make him understand.I look him in the eyes as I say“She’s my sister Ben. I cannot sit round here wondering if you got her out, if she’s okay if you're okay…Please, Ben, it will drive me crazy what if she needs me.”“Fuck”, He mutters before carrying on, “Okay, you can come only if you promise me you will stay in the van until your sister is bro
The Swift Security SeriesBenChapter 140Mishka’s point of viewI find myself pacing up and down the hotel room; these two hours feel like an eternity, especially when you can hear the seconds ticking by in this lonely hotel room.I’m worried, and not just for my sister; I’m also worried for Ben. He knows how much Alyona means to me, and I know that man would do anything to make me happy. It was such a relief when Jake asked Bear to come along with his team. I’m so glad Ben is not going into that house alone.It feels like forever until I finally hear the key turn in the lock; I turn to look at the door as I whisper,“Thank you, God.” before throwing myself in Ben’s arms, “Thank god you are okay; I’ve been so worried about you”.He laughs as he replies, “Baby, this is what I do every day; I’m fine.”Maybe but that still does not stop me from worrying; this man has become such a massive part of my life that I will always worry.“Did you see Alyona?” I ask excitedly,“Yes,” He says wit
The Swift Security SeriesBenChapter 139Bear’s point of viewI find myself in Russia after being drafted in to lead a mission alongside my fellow security officer Bulldog or Ben, if you prefer to use his real name.The Boss, Jake Swift, wanted someone to head the team with him as it’s his girlfriend's sister we've been sent to look into along with some other young women and girls who we believe are being forced to work in a brothel.Jake asked me to join teams with Bulldog as his first team is attending Tank’s wedding this weekend.We spent the first day checking the house out from the outside; nothing was happening well apart from the constant stream of clients going in and out of the property.I’ve been handed some pictures of the girls we were sent to rescue, and Alyona Mishka’s sister is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. I’ve rescued many women while working for Jake Swift. I push any thoughts of Aloyna from my mind; I’m here to do a job and cannot afford to lose concen
