Twins of Deception: Love in Shadows Chapter 70: Dinner Date
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
Twins of Deception: Love in Shadows Chapter 71: Single, well kind of.
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
Twins of Deception: Love in Shadows Chapter 72: End of my world
JaxsonI know I am being a dick. I know I'm being an asshole. and I know it's not her fault. I was the one with the slip of the tongue and I was the one who didn't give her a chance to respond before I kept running my mouth. I know all of this. What I don't know is why I am acting like this. I don't understand why the hell I'm acting like this or why I feel like the sky is falling. The only thing I can think to do right now is to call the one person who knew I was even in love when I was guessing as to what the fuck I was feeling was. As soon as Esmerelda and Nico enter the building, I hit the call button on my sister contact in my phone. It rings three times and I start to worry it will go to voicemail by the time Kelsey picks up the phone."Hey big brother is this an emergency, or can I call you back?" I can her my nephew crying in the background. I cringe a little bit because I know she must have her hands full, but this is kind of an emergency."Umm... can you talk.""Umm, hold o
Twins of Deception: Love in Shadows Chapter 73: Forces Decisions
EsmereldaFifteen minutes ago...The men stop their attempt on taking down the door to Frankies apartment. The see me and both get a creepy smile, like we are talking horror movie and like The Shining not the new shit status. I'm frozen but Nico isn't he starts pushing the button to close the door at the same time pushing me behind him. The elevator doesn't seem to want to close though, which isn't that unusual it is he slowest thing ever. But just as the start to close the men rush the doors getting to them just as they were about to close. The biggest of the two, a man with a scar across his face slash straight down from eyebrow to side of his chin gets in the tiny space first making it even smaller. I don't know why the thought of how he isn't blind in that eye crosses my mind at that moment, but it does and is only stopped by Nico's body pushing me into the wall and having the handrail digging into my lower back snap me out of it. "Nico?""I got you. Don't worry boss lady. He won
Twins of Deception: Love in Shadows Chapter 74: Without My Heart
JaxsonThe problem I am having is that I have no idea who is behind the missing soldiers. I have no idea who is targeting me right now or why. I haven't any issues or direct attacks since I started and stomped all of the others small timers out on the street. So why now? And who the hell is stupid enough to even try. What I do know is I am trying to focus on what I need to do but the only thing I can think is if Esmerelda is okay. If the babies are okay. Its been three hours and we are no closer to finding her. "Frankie are you sure you don't remember anything else?" I am desperate and it clear in my voice. We are still waiting for Nico to wake up. I look at him laying on the sofa that I know my girl was sleeping on recently. "I heard a knock looked out the peep hole and saw two huge guys in suits waiting looking like mafioso. I asked what they wanted without opening the door. They asked for Essy, said they were your guys. But I knew that Nico had her if you didn't, Paully if Nico d
Twins of Deception: Love in Shadows Chapter 75: Bryce
EsmereldaMy whole-body hurts. I haven't moved since whenever they tied my up down here. The restraints on my wrist and ankles are bound so tight that even shifting my hips proves to be hard and more painful than the relief it gives my ass. The exposed skin of my chest and stomach is so cold its almost numb. My fingers and feet however, they are numb, and I have a feeling it's from lack of blood more than the cold.I try not to cry anymore, but the pain and the cold have a way of making it harder. I'm tired, hungry, and the cold has a way of making everything hurt."You should just call him and beg for him to come get you." The scarred man says. I don't respond, not that I have the energy too. "You will freeze to death in here. It's been hours, and he isn't coming for you.""Jaxson will find me." It's the first thing I have said since my kidnapper left me with this man."I hope he does. I can't wait to show him the things I have done to you." He gets close to me and grabs a fistful of
Twins of Deception: Love in Shadows Chapter 76: Let's do this
"Where do you have her?" Malachi says and my heart and stomach drop. He puts the phone on speaker and sits it down on the table as a voice I don't recognize comes there the other side."Oh, that doesn't matter.""I will kill you. Do you hear me. If you lay a finger on her I will tear you limb from limb." I can't help but growl at the phone."Ah Jaxson, that is all well and good. But it doesn't mean a thing when I can't hear you.""I know who you are. And trust me you will pay for this.""No. You will." He laughs. "And if you knew who I was you would have used my name. Nice try though." I hate that he is right. And he knows he is, because a few seconds later his voice changes from joking to serious. "But, that's not what matters, nope not at all. What matters is that she is mine now.""Fuck no, she is.""Well, not officially yet. But soon. And the question is what will it take to get her back.""Who the fuck are you!" I am losing it. Or I thought I was until I really do at his next sta
Twins of Deception: Love in Shadows Chapter 77: Shots in the night
EsmereldaI feel like a whore. There is no other way to explain it. I could have fought it, I would have bit him. But I didn't. I just let him use me. I don't even know if I want Jaxson to save me. Why would he want me if he knew what I did?"Fuck, I can see the appeal." Bryce says as he zips himself back away. And leans heavy on the wall. "Can't wait to see what else you can do." My stomach flips as I hang my head in shame and disgust."It's only a matter of time, till he gets tired of you." I know he is right, especially after he finds out what happened here."He is going to come." I also know this to be true even if I know I don't deserve it I can only hope he will still be here for the twins."Oh, I know. When he does, well let's just say you won't be the one being rescued." Before I can ask what he means I hear the door open and someone coming back down. "You really have that boy twisted into knots." Bryce's boss steps into the light with an evil smile of pure smug satisfaction

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,
Twins of Deception: Love in Shadows Chapter 85: Not a fairy tale
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
Twins of Deception: Love in Shadows Chapter 84: Not again
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
Twins of Deception: Love in Shadows Chapter 83: Not so special
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
Twins of Deception: Love in Shadows Chapter 82: Grown Wings
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
Twins of Deception: Love in Shadows Chapter 81: The Boss
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
Twins of Deception: Love in Shadows Chapter 80: Selfish
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
