Chapter 63: Roman’s POV

I don’t understand how I could’ve been completely unaware of the officer that had followed me into the bar just two night ago. I was following my ritual before each shipment came in. I would get a few drinks, find a woman’s company and be ready for work the next morning. But this time, company had found me and there were too many for me to kill, in order to escape.I take note of the officers’ name. I would remember it for when I was back to my freedom and able to kill him. After my processing, I begin to wonder. All this commotion over that pretty little woman? Why was she of this much importance? I didn’t harm her to extent I’d like - it was just a hand. Who was this woman to Charlotte? I realize how much I had forgotten to ask. But now I had time to recover my thoughts as I’m sure I’d be sitting here for a good amount of time. May as well use the public computer access in here to find out. I look up that Charlotte woman that Francisco was involved with and read the article of her

Chapter 64: Claire’s POV

“Do you think the guy I identified at the precint knows who framed Matthew?’ Leo and I had made it back home and after showering, I felt more at ease and able to communicate.“We think so. That quantity and quality of drugs has only ever been identified twice and both cases have been the Italian mafia here on the west coast. Mason and I had started piecing that together long before we had your attacker’s DNA ran through CODIS.” His transparency gave me a sliver a hope that Matthew would be home soon. He has to be - with a pregnant partner and a baby on the way. “Claire, I’m also certain that he knows something about Matthew’s case. It’s just a matter of how much he’s willing to give in terms of information. The mafia is trained not to rat.” He presses. I know he was telling me this so that that I wouldn’t get my hopes up but I couldn’t help but want the freedom of my brother. His imprisonment has been long enough and it has been because of me. The guilt was eating away at me.“They c

Chapter 64: Leonardo’s POV

I ensure Elena is aware that Claire is staying back before leaving for the precinct. My driver was already parked outside and I simply gave him the address to the precinct.As I’m walking in, I see a lot of buzz and realize they were all trying to move hastily to find Claire’s first attacker. Word must’ve spread that my incentive was not real but paid with no questions asked. I watch Mason as he makes his way towards me.“Come on. We’ve got an interrogation to do. I follow Mason to his police car and hop in. Now that my wife’s attacker, Roman, was arraigned, all interrogations had to be held in the county jail.“Any rules I need to follow?” I ask out of courtesy. I can’t guarantee my behavior at its best. He did disfigure Claire’s hand after all.“You can’t physically attack him. And you can’t ask questions pertaining to his case without his attorney present.”“Is that all?” Mason nods in confirmation.“Well this is going to be easier than expected.”“Well there’s only one small issue

Chapter 64: Roman’s POV

I slipped. The first time I had ever ratted and I slipped. I said one word too many. Francisco was not going to like this but I needed to reduce my sentence if I wanted to get into prison sooner. The trial meant I would be left without contact for up to two years. A plea deal meant I would be seen within two weeks to accept my deal and be transferred to the prison where I could obtain a phone and speak to my uncle. Most importantly, warn him about Charlotte.I walk into a separate room with my attorney.“I think that’s gone well, Roman. You only have to serve eighty percent of your sentence and with good behavior, you’ll be out in less time than that.”“I don’t intend on staying here for twenty years. There’s no women in here.” I shrug.“A valid point. Is there anything you’d like me to share with your uncle on your behalf.”“Yes. Tell him when the cats are away, the rats will play. He will know what to do with that information.”“Okay. I’ll motion for your court date to be extradited

Chapter 65: Francisco’s POV

Roman’s attorney finally calls me to give me word on my nephew. I hurriedly answer the phone and hold my finger up to Charlotte.“How is he?” I ask sternly. I had no interest in small talk. I would have to tell my sister he was in jail.“He is fine. He had a message for you today.” His monotone voice told me that this wasn’t good.“What is it?”“When the cats’ away, the rats will play.” I freeze in my pace as I hear his message. Roman never ratted and I’m unsure why he would choose to now. What did he say?“What was said?” “Confidentiality restricts me from saying anything until his sentencing. You know that, Francisco.” He was right. I couldn’t risk any harm to my nephew but Charlotte needed to be protected.“What was he looking at?” “Forty five to sixty years. His DNA was found in other crime scenes and the systems have changed. They were more efficient now. I believe it has to do with his last customs’ husband.”“The billionaire?” Surely he did not mean Leonardo.“Yes, I’m sorry

Chapter 65: Claire’s POV

I heard the door close downstairs as I tried to work on my tablet. I could barely even hold my stylus in my right hand. I hurriedly put my tablet and stylus in the nightstand - ashamed of my failed attempts and continues unpacking. Elena had done most of the work but I asked that she leave some things for me to put away. A therapy of sorts. I was hanging up the gown I had worn to my award ceremony when Leo entered the room.“That gown looked so beautiful on you.”“Thank you.” I turn to see the stress pressed on his face.“What’s wrong?” I ask as I lead him to the bed to have a seat and remove his suit jacket as best I can with my one working hand. He takes the jacket from my hand and motions for me to sit at the vanity just across from him.“I have good news and bad news. I’d rather not share the bad news but it would be unfair not to let you decide whether you’d like to hear it not.”“Okay. Can you share the good news first?” I hold his hand to comfort him as I watch him draw a larg

Chapter 66: Leonardo’s POV

Having Claire’s forgiveness and understanding was an immense weight off of my shoulders. Although the guilt was still present after Roman expressed that Claire’s attacks and the woman orchestrating them were all because of me. I couldn’t think of a single person who would want to get to me by hurting Claire, especially a woman. Claire had never met any of my ex-girlfriends - other than Charlotte and she didn’t exist in my life when those relationships occurred or even remotely near their end. It would make more sense if Charlotte was targeted, she was present throughout all my relationships and frankly, most of them ended because they could barely the idea of me running to another woman’s side.I lay down in bed, contemplating who could’ve done this as I watch Claire sleep peacefully beside me. Things were starting to finally fall into place when her career took off. She was happy. My mother wanted me to be with her. Charlotte had healed from surgery and started her new life. Everyo

Chapter 66: Claire’s POV

I wake up and find that I’m still naked and wrapped in Leo’s arms. I didn’t intend on sleeping with him again but I fell into my routine where I would seek his pleasure not only for myself but for him. I knew it would help him rest better and as his wife, it had become second nature. It didn’t hurt that I also thoroughly enjoyed myself. I feel him twitch in his sleep and I feel his shaft growing inside me again. He had left it in. Truthfully, it made me feel connected in a way. I look up at him and kiss him passionately as i hold his face to mine. He returns the passion and within moments, we’re back to pleasuring each other. This time he takes charge and sits me on top as he sits on his knees. We move in rhythm until again, we reach our maximum. I grab his back with my nails and impulsively tell him how much I love him. After our bodies begin to calm down, he kisses my chest and looks up at me.“Remember when I told you that only I could make you feel this way?” I hear him whisper hu

Chapter 67: Leonardo’s POV

I couldn’t believe it when Claire finally said yes to being my wife again. I felt like we were in a twilight zone. I made sure to send a text message to my attorney asking that he place the clause into effect - voiding our divorce before going back down for bed with Claire. It wasn’t long before we were fast asleep. I’m awakened by my phone ringing. I look to see it was Mason calling. There must be news, especially if he was calling this early in the morning.“I hope I didn’t wake you, man.”“Don’t worry. What’s going on?” The pleasantries weren’t necessary. He could call at any moment and I’d answer in haste. He was doing me a massive favor. “DNA came back on those cigarettes. I ran it through CODIS and we got a match.”“You know who Claire’s first attacker is?’ I hadn’t expected this to happen so soon. I would have to tell Claire as soon as she woke up.“His name is Mark Siles. He’s a record criminal, holding multiple charges of assault, attempted murder and kidnapping.” I knew wh

Chapter 67: Claire’s POV

I hear Leo’s phone ring and immediately feel a Deja vu moment. I felt as though he’s be leaving to see Charlotte until I feel an ache in my hand. We were in the same place at different times. I ask if he’s going to leave already but I’m pleasantly surprised when he tells me otherwise. He tells me that Mason has found my first attacker and they were setting up a sting operation to capture him safely. Mark Siles. A name to a face that has haunted me for months.I feel an immense fear like a boulder is sitting on my chest. He was dangerous and I fear for Leo’s safety but I also feared how Leo would handle the situation after learning that this man had also kidnapped Charlotte and him long before we were ever married. Leonardo was a man of great pride and I worry that he would act impulsively.We shower and head down for breakfast as the air is filled with sweet and savory scents.“You’ve outdone yourself, Elena!” I hear Leo say as he gestures to the table, it was covered in Belgian waff
