Pov Tyler.After leaving Emily at the cabin, I went straight to the warehouse. From a distance, I could identify the person sitting at my table."You woke up early," I said, looking at my father, who was sitting near the stack of drugs."You too, my dear son. Still trying to hide Emily from me, are you trying to keep me away from my grandson?" My father said with a sarcastic tone. "Don't worry, Tyler, I didn't follow you, and I don't know where she's hiding." He shrugged, indifferent."I'm sorry, but I can't let my son be at risk with you around," I replied seriously, observing his every expression."And you shouldn't. I might do something impulsive. Just looking at that girl, I already feel a boiling hatred inside me. But as soon as this baby is born, Emily will have to die, and for now, keep me away from her, just in case!" He said angrily."All right," I replied, sitting next to him at the table."Tomorrow, a new shipment of weapons will arrive near the border between Mexico and th
POV Emily."So, tell me, why do I have to do this again?" I asked as I continued to walk around the perimeter of the cabin. I looked back and saw Luke laughing at the fact that I hadn't stopped complaining since we left home."The doctor recommended that you get some sunlight and breathe in some fresh air. This contact with nature will do you good!" Emma smiled, holding my hand."I hate this; my legs hurt, and I feel my feet swelling," I said, sitting on a rock near the forest."Let's rest for a bit, then we'll continue!" Emma said, sitting beside me. Luke watched us attentively from afar."Emma... you've been with Tyler for a long time, right?" I asked curiously."Yes... I worked for the Mitchels before Tyler was born," Emma smiled, reminiscing about when Tyler was still a child."Why don't you quit this job? It can't be very comfortable working with the Mitchels for so long, and you're always risking your life," I said, pensively."Oh, dear, things weren't always like this. Tyler wa
**POV Tyler**Sometimes, we need to use our heads to get what we want. Emily wasn't stupid, but she was sentimental and believed faithfully in love. After spending a romantic night with her, I would be able to break the barrier between us easily. My mission was simple; I needed to pretend to be the repentant husband and fake some feelings for her. This way, I could keep Emily close until all of this ended. With her parents out of my reach, I would unleash all my anger on their daughter. After the baby was born, my plan was quite simple; I just needed to pretend to love her until this child was born."Good morning," Emily said as soon as she woke up, rubbing her eyes calmly."Good morning, future mom. I think the baby should be named Josh in my honor, after all, I'm Tyler's best friend!" Josh said convincingly."That's ridiculous. I saved his life in the last explosion at the warehouse," Justin retorted."Calm down, boys; it's still too early to determine the baby's gender. We don't kn
Pov EmilyMy heart nearly stopped when he pressed his lips against mine. It felt so good to be able to feel his kiss again, to smell him close to me; it all left me ecstatic."When we got married, I said our love was the main thing. I still feel that love, Emily. I love you," he said before pulling away, before leaving."Are you coming back?" I asked timidly, already missing him."I'll be back this week to stay with you, and it'll just be the two of us," he smiled before opening the car door. "I promise." Tyler left with his men, leaving me alone with the employees again.The night was restless, and despite my attempts to force myself to sleep, I couldn't find the way to slumber. I glanced at the clock and noticed it was already four-thirty in the morning. Frustrated, I decided to go down to the kitchen in search of something to eat. Pregnancy brought insatiable late-night cravings, and this time, my choice fell on a tub of chocolate ice cream.While savoring each spoonful, I heard ap
Pov Emily."Emma, are you not going to tell me what I don't know? Why did Tyler hide this from me?" I asked for the tenth time, trying to get Emma to speak.After talking to Caroline, I found out that Tyler's mother died in a fire when he was twelve. It was embarrassing for me not to know something so important about my husband, and it made me question why Tyler always said his parents were in New York."Tyler and Mr. Mitchell will kill me if they find out I said something... I don't have permission for that," Emma said nervously."I'll protect you. They'll never find out," I said seriously."Do you promise not to tell anyone? This is very serious..." Emma said, her hands trembling."You can trust me, Mia!" I said, holding her hands to calm her."Johanna Mitchell died in an arson fire. It all started when Tyler was twelve. He and his father left town to visit grandparents in Texas... Mrs. Johanna had an affair with a drug dealer at that time. The Mitchells weren't part of the criminal
POV TylerIt was late at night and all I wanted to do was go home and have to look my father in the face, I'd spent practically the whole day in the shed and then gone out clubbing. There was even an interested girl looking at me and, frankly, I needed that to de-stress, so it didn't take much effort to get her into bed."Your apartment is beautiful!" she said, as she lay down on the bed."It's not mine," I laughed through my teeth, remembering that I'd have to thank Justin for leaving his keys with me."Whose is it?" she asked, confused."Did you come here to ask questions, or to satisfy me?She nodded and walked over to me, stopped in front of me, pulled down my underpants, and then began to stroke my member over my underwear. It turned me on."I think you'll need more than that to impress me," I laughed through my teeth, teasing her with the tone of my voice."Don't worry, Mr. Miller, I was just getting started..." she pulled me over to the bed and pushed me down. With her body lyi
Pov EmilyThe day dawned, and I went for my usual morning walk. I met Caroline halfway, and she began accompanying me to make me feel comfortable."Why are there guards at every exit?" she asked curiously."I'm a prisoner here. I tried to kill Tyler in one of our fights, so he's trying to be cautious," I shrugged, not caring, and kept walking."Why are you still alive?" she widened her eyes in surprise."I'm pregnant with his child. If it weren't for that, I'd be six feet under somewhere unknown, and probably no one would find my body," I laughed with my sarcastic comment."Okay, you definitely have a lot of luck to be alive. I've never seen Tyler be so merciful to anyone before!" she said surprised by my shooting the mafia boss and still surviving."My life is full of twists and unexpected suspense," I said, making Caroline smile.After I finished the walk, I remembered that Tyler would be coming again today. I still didn't know how I was going to react in front of him after discover
Pov Tyler "What's the matter?" I asked angrily, realizing that she had interrupted me, just as I was about to reach my peak. Emily stood still, her cheeks extremely red, and her hands began to shake. "I'm sorry, I just came to bring you the towel and the clothes you forgot..." she said in a daze. I turned off the shower and approached her slowly...... at first, I was irritated by her interruption, but I remembered that underneath those cloths she was using to cover her body, there was something that would give me instant relief. "" You do this to me... Emily..." I said, bringing our bodies closer together. She was panting too hard to answer, so I leaned her against the wall and started pulling at the strap of her dress. "Tyler... I..." I didn't care what she said, I kissed her like I had never kissed her before, her lips as soft as her skin, a slight nostalgia for our first kiss came to mind, a kiss with so much desire and lust, everything about that girl drove me crazy, I hated
### Pov Olivia"Are you ready, my daughter?" my mother asked, gently tapping on the door.I finished putting on my hat and nodded. She took my hand and led me to the car, where my father was already waiting in the driver's seat. We arrived early at the cemetery, and for now, only Justin and Ingrid were there, both with expressions heavy with sorrow as they gazed at the coffin.We approached slowly, and they greeted us with somber looks."We're burying him in an hour... you didn't have to come so early," Uncle Justin said sternly, trying to hide the anger and pain in his voice."She wanted to come say goodbye," my mother replied, looking at me with an encouraging glance. She signaled for me to approach the coffin.With a heavy heart, I took a few steps toward David's coffin. Each step felt heavier than the last. Ingrid placed her hand on my shoulder and tried to muster a smile. "He would have liked to see you one last time. He loved you, Olivia," she said, her voice trembling but since
### POV Olivia"Antony..." I murmured nervously, looking at his body lying in front of me. Tears blurred my vision, but I couldn't waste any time."Come on, Olivia, we don't have much time. Forget about Antony, he's gone now. You need to live!" David said, gripping my arm tightly and dragging me towards the trees."How did you find me?" I asked in surprise, hearing footsteps of people running after us."I tracked your phone," he said seriously, looking for a place for us to hide."But it's turned off. They removed the SIM... and there's no internet signal here..." I grumbled, confused."I put a tracker on your phone," he replied."Oh my God, you creep, why did you do that?" I let go of his hand, stepping back in fear.David took a deep breath for a moment and looked at me seriously. "Olivia, I did it because I love you. I couldn't stand seeing you pining over Peter. That day, when I saw you kissing him at your father's house, since that day I felt hatred, resentment. I wanted to kill
### POV Tyler"Are you crazy? That man is a scumbag! How can you do business with him?" Emily nearly vomited with indignation when I told her who my new ally was."I know," I replied, trying to stay calm. "But if we want to get our daughter back, he's the only person who knows Ethan's location. Remember when I asked Antony to check all the warehouses in the city? We found out that guy was the only one Ethan was doing business with. The frequency and his employees were so discreet it was almost imperceptible." I shrugged and collapsed onto the bed, exhausted. "Any news from Josh and Justin?" I asked, noticing the worried look on Emily's face. She shook her head, confirming there wasn't."Anne can't stop crying. She's having to deal with everything alone. To make matters worse, Noah keeps saying Ethan is his father. She's devastated, and Ingrid can't stop looking for her kidnapped niece," she replied sadly, the pain evident in her voice."That's all the more reason I need to rip the hea
### POV Tyler"So, what do you intend to give me in exchange for this information?" the fat man with his cane asked suspiciously, his small, calculating eyes fixed on me."I'll release some of your men I've captured and stay away from your business for at least three months. You'll have carte blanche to do whatever you want during that time," I replied seriously, taking a sip of the whiskey on the table."Tyler... Tyler... who would have thought that after all this time, you'd come to me proposing a deal..." He laughed cynically, his eyes gleaming with malice. "What do you want with Ethan?" He raised an eyebrow, clearly suspicious."That's none of your business! It's personal... I want to know if you accept my deal," I responded curtly, shrugging, not caring about his suspicions."Tyler... Tyler... you’re as arrogant as ever!" He shook his head, thoughtful. "Do you think I'll let you come into my house and deceive me? Have you and that worthless Ethan made some kind of deal to take me
**POV Olivia**I woke up again feeling dizzy, with lapses of memory, alternating between waking and falling asleep without being able to keep my eyes open for long."Look, the little princess is awake!" Alana entered the room with a cynical look, while my hands and feet were tied to the chair, preventing me from escaping."This won't end like this. What have you done to me? Why do I feel so..." I couldn't finish the sentence. My lips were numb, and my mouth tingled."Sedated? Perhaps because you're under the effect of sedatives. We already know you're a match, but we had to run a lot of tests to check if your bone marrow is in good condition, considering the amount of alcohol you consume at your father's parties. We'll need at least two more days to detox you from all the medications. Don't worry, this is the last sedative!" She winked, applying that greenish liquid into my bloodstream again."My bone marrow? What do you want with it?" I asked, trying not to succumb to the anesthesia c
**POV Tyler**"Tyler... Tyler, wake up!" I heard a female voice beside me, shaking my body. The voice seemed distant, and I felt weak. After much insistence, I slowly opened my eyes. The brightness hurt my retinas. The room was all white, filled with equipment. I tried to move, but felt something attached to my arm. Then, a gentle touch on my face and a tight hug."Tyler... I thought you were dead. I'm so happy you're alive!"I opened my eyes and saw Emily in tears, her face red and swollen, looking like she had been crying for hours. I looked around and realized I was strapped to a hospital bed, with various machines monitoring my vital signs."What happened? How long have I been here?" I asked desperately. Emily stepped back, swallowing hard."Seven days. You've been in a coma for seven days. Josh and Justin still haven't woken up. The doctor said they're in critical condition, worse than you... we don't know when they'll wake up," Emily replied, lowering her head."No... that's imp
**POV Tyler**With my heart racing, I got into the car and started the engine. As I drove through the nearly deserted streets, a fierce determination took hold of me. No matter what it took, I would bring Sara back safely. Josh and Justin were my closest friends, and I knew I could count on them.When I arrived at the meeting point, I saw Josh and Justin already waiting. They looked at me seriously, ready for what was to come."We're going to get Sara and make sure she comes home safely," I said, looking at both of them."We're with you, Tyler," Josh replied firmly. Justin nodded, the same determination reflected in his eyes.We arrived near the warehouse, having meticulously planned every detail. There were a few men at the back of the building, and I had positioned some patrol cars at key points on the streets to prevent possible escapes. After rescuing Sara, the plan was to interrogate one of Ethan's men and find out what he was planning and why he was so fixated on Noah."Let's go
**POV Olivia**"It's better this way, honey. We need to trust your father. He wants the best for us," my mother said, smiling and stroking my hair as I lay on the bed, crying in anger.She wiped away one of the tears running down my face and suggested, "How about we watch a movie together? It's been a while since I arrived, but we haven't had time to do normal mother-daughter things. We've been apart for so long... I want to know more about you," she smiled, excited."Thank you, Mom... I would love that," I replied, a slight smile forming on my lips, and she nodded.As soon as she left the room, I sent a message to Peter, asking if he knew anything. I fiddled with my phone to pass the time while my mother made popcorn in the microwave. Finally, I received a message."Do you want to find that bitch Sarah? And your dear friend David, who betrayed you? Come to Xavier Marques Street, near the dark alley. I'll be there and take you to them..."There was no sender. It was another one of tho
**POV Tyler**"Okay... Does Emily have a twin sister that her father sold to a couple when she was born?" I asked again, shaking my head, unable to believe my own words."Yes, Alana Parker was a victim of human trafficking..." Olivia replied seriously, while Emily swallowed hard. "She helped me find my mom, but now it seems like she wants some kind of payment for her help..." Olivia finished her sentence."What does this crazy woman want? Money? Could she be working for Ethan?" I stood up from the table nervously, unable to stay still."I don't know... I didn't go with her... but she really wanted me to," Olivia muttered, hugging Emily, who didn't want to let go of her."Alana is dangerous. I always suspected her and doubted she was on our side. I don't know what she wants, but we have to protect our daughter, Tyler!" Emily said nervously.The anguish in Emily's eyes was evident. She clearly didn't want to lose Olivia after already losing so many years of raising her."Emily, we will
