Esmerelda As Jaxson and Micheal leave the room, the rest of the guys, all six of them, start talking. And I can't help but feel awkward. This was supposed to be a business meeting, and I was not expecting the guys to start talking about their personal lives. Or rather their love lives.I listen in horror as they go back and forth, talking about the different women they have hooked up with and their different kinks. At least that's what I am assuming are their kinks. The things they say are not the normal."Yeah, she was a screamer. She liked the rope.""You can't go wrong with a blindfold. They don't know what's coming next. That makes them all the wetter.""I'm telling you, the nipple clamps, you can't go wrong with the nipple clamps. The harder the better.""What about the butt plugs? The way their hole just opens up for you, its heaven."The more they talk the more I feel like I'm going to throw up. This isn't something you discuss at the workplace. Not something you discuss in pu
JaxsonWhen I heard what those men were saying with Esmerelda in the room I was furious, even more than I was when I hung up the phone. But when I heard them asking her before I could hang up the intercom? That was a new level. I haven't had time to ask her about her kinks, and to hear how upset she was when they kept asking? Yeah needless to say they won't have jobs for much longer. I give no fucks that means replacing half of my board. They can fuck off, and they will if they ever want to work again."Jax?" Her soft voice brings me out of my thoughts and back to the woman in front of me, and the fact she asked me a question. One I am not sure I should answer after what she just went through and the way she reacted. But I don't want to lie to her. Maybe I can get her clarify what she is asking while I figure out what to say."What's that, gypsy?""Do you like any of the things they were talking about?" She mumbles and turns her head away."I can't hear you." I am teasing her, and I h
Esmerelda Dead. That what I swear I hear Malachi say but that can't be right. Can it? I look up at Jaxson to see his reaction. His face is stone still. Almost like he isn't affected at all by what his brother just said. I look back at Malachi and then back to Jaxson. The panic starts to rise in me, what have I got myself into. Jaxson seem to realize I am close to losing it because he slides his hand to my thigh giving it a small squeeze. "What happened exactly Malachi?" He asks still as calm as ever."Well, the guys that were supposed to be bring the new shipment and all his guys, were found dead. But no sign of the guy who did it. Not even a fucking hair. Like it was a ghost and or they just dropped dead.""Fuck." Jaxson says and his grip tightens. "What do you mean they just dropped dead?""You heard me. They were fine and then, suddenly they were all gone. Dead.""That's not possible.""That's what I said. But the guy who was watched the cameras said they were just standing there
EsmereldaI am so shocked at all I can do is stare at him. That is until he chuckles at me. Then all the fire of my red hair comes out to play. "Excuse me?" I ask giving him time to correct his statement."You are home Gypsy." He tried to lean forward and give me a kiss, but I lean back and give him a look. One I don't usually give many people, especially the man I'm with. I mean I think we are a thing, kind would need to be if he plans on me standing here. With one eyebrow raised I ask."So, you are keeping me prisoner here. In your house?""No, I told you no one was taking you anywhere." He looks a little less sure of himself."So, what is this then, a kidnapping?" I cross my arms and nod my head a little looking around the house. Jaxson stumbles over his next words, so at odd of who he truly is. I can't help the smirk on my face."Well, no not a kidnapping, but maybe more a surprise.""A surprise." I say showing nothing that would make him think this is okay."Yes, a surprise.""Oh
JaxsonLast night I got her to agree to at least stay the night. Then I stayed up with her in my arms and thought about what I could do to make things easy and stress free for her. She doesn't need the stress. I don't know much about pregnant woman, but I do know that stress is not a good thing for them. So, when I was able to get up this morning I had a plan. A plan to make sure she is safe. That our babies are safe. And a plan to make sure I don't fuck this up.So, here I am waiting outside her ex's office. My brother Malachi standing next to me. His men, along with mine, are surrounding the building."Are you sure about this?" He asks."Yeah, I'm sure.""What's going on?""It's simple. We are getting her divorce.""How, he won't sign. The fucker knows she doesn't have a dime to her name." He stops and thinks for a second. "And how the hell is there anything to sign. Didn't you say she just left the stupid fuck?" I smirk and pull the divorce papers out of my pocket presigned by Judg
Jaxson As the movie plays, Esmerelda gets more and more upset. Her breathing is starting to pick up, and I can tell she is starting to get overwhelmed. I don't know how she is going to take the rest of it, but I have to finish. If she is going to be with me, she has to know it all. She has to know what's in store. If she chooses to go down that path. Might as well start off strong. When the first big scene happens, the one where the man starts to tie his wife up and use a whip on her, I feel her flinch and move away. "Gypsy, shhhh." "I... This isn't..." She is stumbling over her words and her breathing is getting worse. I turn to her and cup her cheek. "Listen to me. You are okay. No one is going to hurt you. I promise." "I... Please.." "Shhhh. It's okay." "It's not." "No, it is." "No. Its not." "Yes, it is." "No." "Yes. Shhhh. Watch." "Jax." "Gypsy." She tries to turn away from the screen, but I stop her. She is still trying to get away. So, I pull her
Jaxson"Where have you been?" Esmerelda stands and asks me as soon as I get back to the office paper in securely in my pockets all they need is for her to sign but I won't have her do that till dinner when I take her out tonight. Again I have a plan."Oh, just taking care of a few things." I say with a smile coming up to wrap my arms around her."Uh, huh." She says as I kiss her head."Come on, let's get lunch.""You know I can't. We have work." I mean she isn't wrong. I do have a shit ton of things I need to do. Like finding people to fill the shoes of the men I am going to fire very, very soon."You know. You're right.""Wait, what? Jaxson. Are you feeling alright?" She puts her hand to my head."Ha, Ha." I roll my eyes. I can admit when I'm wrong. Just not to anyone but her apparently."I mean, you do have a lot to catch up on. Maybe we should stay in and get something delivered." I guess we can do that. I can eat and work. And really I just want to make sure she is eating good and
EsmereldaI don't get to respond to him and that's okay because I'm not even sure what I would have said to him to begin with. I am so far out of comfort zone. Billy would have never brought me somewhere like this to begin with, and never dressed like this. I mean I'm not dressed horrible, but at the same time I look like street trash compared to him.So, I am thankful when the waiter shows up and gives me a break. I really just don't know what to say."Welcome. My name is Jason, and I will be your waiter this evening. Are you celebrating anything special?""Yes." Jaxson says, but before he can say anymore I interrupt."No. Not really." He looks at me and shakes his head."Yes, we are." He smiles and holds up his hand to stop me from talking before ordering our drinks. A water with lemon for him, and a sprite for me. Jason tells us the chef will be in soon to start making our food and leaves. "What exactly are we celebrating?" I ask him thoroughly interested in his answer. He smiles
JaxsonTwo weeks. It's been two weeks since the accident. We are no closer to finding her then we were the day she was take. And I am no better for it. Simply put I'm a mess. I forgot what sleep is. I don't think I have showered unless someone drug me in there and forced me to shower. I have put all my time into finding out who the hell took my Gypsy. Waiting by the phone for a call, yet none has come. I'm starting to worry none will."Jaxson. You can't keep doing this to yourself." Nico says as he enters the dining room."Not now, Nico.""Yes, now.""No, just leave.""Listen, brother, I understand you are going through a lot right now. But you can't keep doing this. You have a business to run.""I don't care about the fucking business." It's true right now I could truly give a fuck about the company can burn to the ground for all I care."Well, you should.""Nico.""No, listen. I know you want her back, we all do, but you can't do it if you don't take care of yourself.""He is right,
EsmereldaThe doctor comes in and tells me what I already knew. That the twins are still fine. By the time he got here my main concern was answered by the flutters of them moving. He then gives me something for my head, which has started to pound. He also gives me a cream for the bruising on my face and neck. When the guy first put the gag in, it hurt. But now, when I rub the cream over the area, it doesn't hurt, and it makes the redness go down.When the doctor leaves, the boss is there waiting for him. The doctor and the boss exchange words, and the doctor hands him a few bottles, then leaves. The boss doesn't come back into the room after the doctor leaves. So I take time to look around. Its set up like some kind of mother-in-law suite. The room I am in looks like the living room and the kitchen. Behind the first door I find I see a small bathroom with a standing shower. The next door a closet, and the last is a bedroom with a full size bed covered in what looks like a think down c
JaxsonA groan rips from my throat. I have the worst headache and I am cold. Really cold. What the fuck happened? I try to open my eyes, but it hurts too much. The light is blinding and all it does is make the pain worse."Mr. Cancade. Mr. Cancade. Can you hear me?" I try to talk, but nothing comes out. My throat is so dry."Shhhh, it's okay." A woman's voice says, but it's not my woman's voice. "What...the...fuck...""You were in an accident.""Gypsy." I croak."Who?" The woman says."Where...is...my...wife.""Um, she is, well, we are trying to find her." What? I must have heard that wrong."She...""We know who you are talking about, but right now, we don't know where she is. Your driver said she was in the car. But we didn't see her.""How...""It's a long story." Long story? What the hell is a long story?"How..." I try again."It will all be explained once you are feeling better." Why does she keep interrupting me?"My wife.""Let's just get you healthy, and we will tell you eve
EsmereldaJaxson is telling me the guys are back and are fine, and all I can think is how amazing it will be to have everyone together. The last time I saw them they were leaving for their trip, and they were all excited. Well, Paully wasn't exactly excited, but he was glad to have something to do. He hates sitting around waiting, which is all we have been doing. Waiting on the man in the shadows, or the guy who took me to show their face. Well they actually knew there was a chance he was out there, I only had to wait till my dreams to see him again.I was so upset when the guys left. They have all become like my family. Like having brothers, I never had before. Jaxson is right, they did call everyday wanting an update. But I have still really missed them.I know what is about to happen when I see the head light appear behind Jaxson's head but there is no way for me to warn him, I can't it happens to fast even if it feels like it's happening in slow motion. By the time it takes to ope
JaxsonSix weeks laterWe are all gathered in the dining room. It is the first time we are having a family meal. After Esmerelda woke up from the hospital, I have kept her close. After we questioned the men who we took from there that night, we got to other information for who their boss was. They actually seemed to not know. I can't see why they would be so loyal to a man they have only worked for, for only a short time. All anyone could say was they were approached a few weeks ago and promised when he took back over the city, they would want for nothing. No they are rotting in an underground dungeonThat is the thing that has me stuck, whoever the hell this man is he said when he took the city back, meaning he had it at one point. That narrows it down on who it could be, but it doesn't give me a single man. But what the soldiers did say is he has been in hiding since the take over.We still have a few men out there, but most of them are on their way back. We are getting closer. I fe
The Boss*The night of the rescue*That did not go as planned. It was sheer dumb luck I wasn't there when Jaxson stormed in, and pure foresight on my part for never giving out my name. I don't know if anyone was taken alive, but even if they were they will never be able to share a name with him or his men. The problem now is that I lost all of my guys. I have no one left in the city, and I have a feeling that he knows the real reason why I took her. It wasn't just to get his attention. No, I have someone else pulling my strings. Someone who should be calling any minute and I am dreading this call. There is no way he didn't hear about it. The only good thing is that he doesn't have a location for me. So, that is one small victory.When my phone rings and his name pops up, I want to throw the phone across the room."Sir.""So, what the hell is the meaning of all of this.""Meaning, sir?""Do not play coy with me. I saw the report on the news. And she was taken to the hospital?" That is
JaxsonAll I can do it stare at her in confusion. What the actual fuck is she talking about? Cheating? And what the hell is she talking about a whore. She is the farthest thing from it."Gypsy, sweetheart. What the hell are you talking about?" She looks at me her face covered in tears and snot. She has never looked more beautiful."He used my mouth, and I just let him. He was going to do more. I would have let him, but his boss came and stopped him." The rage in me boils up but I try to keep a calm exterior his death was far too quick."You don't have to worry about him anymore." I say while processing the rest of what she said. I'm not sure how she thinks that was cheating when it was pure survival for her and our babies. I have unfortunately seen men like him, all dead now, but they would have got what they wanted with or without her corporation."What? Why not?""Because he is dead. We found you. We took care of everyone." I cup her cheeks. "You never have to worry about anyone tou
EsmereldaBeepBeepBeepBeepMy heart is beating, and that's a good sign. My head hurts, and my whole-body is sore, but it's not the worst pain I have ever felt. What is the worst is not knowing if my babies are okay. I haven't opened my eyes yet, too scared of what I will see."I think she is waking up." A small voice whispers. One I don't know."Baby, can you hear me?" I recognize that voice."Jaxson?" My throat feels dry and scratchy."Hey." He whispers. I open my eyes, and the first thing I see is his tear stained face."Jaxson." I try to move towards him, but it hurts. "The babies.""They are fine. Shhhh. They are fine.""How can you know?""Well, you have been out a few days. They did an ultrasound, and the doctor did a test. The twins are fine.""A few days?""Yeah, baby. A few days. You have been out for a while. Your leg was pretty bad, and you had an infection. You have been in and out for a few days.""Where are we?""Home. Well my home. Frankie has been a live wire." He b
JaxsonTwo hours ago.I am sitting in my living room waiting on word about Esmerelda. We have had men on the ground scouring the city. Everywhere and have come up with nothing. Malachi has taken my phone. After my last conversation with the unknown caller, it went crazy."Who the fuck was that?""Not sure. But we will find out.""How did he get this number? How did he know where I was?""Boss, I have a feeling that is the least of our problems.""You're fucking right. We need to find her.""I know.""So why the hell are we standing here!" I start walking to the door, grabbing my jacket, and keys."What are you doing?""I am finding her.""You are going to go look.""Yes.""No, boss. You are going to stay here.""Like hell, Malachi. This is my fault.""No, it's not. If anything, it's mine. I should have found this fucker way before he got to her.""We can't sit here and play the blame game. We need to find her." There is knock at the door. "Enter." I say still trying to think of somet
