Chapter 67: Matthew’s POV

I get called into the warden’s office and thought of the prison warden was already intimidating. I’ve tried my best to stay out of trouble as Leonardo and Claire instructed me to do while they work on my release. I just don’t know what I could’ve done wrong and I’m speechless as I see my arresting officer - chief commissioner Mason Grey. I must’ve done something serious.“Matthew, the officers will be removing your chains and I expect you to have a seat.” The warden was clear on his instructions and I follow exactly as told.“Do you know why you’re here?” He asks in a serious tone.“No sir.”“Do you recognize this decorated officer?” He gestures to the chief commissioner and I nod.“He was my arresting officer, sir.”“Well chief commissioner Mason has made a valiant effort in clearing your name. He has found astounding evidence to not, only suggest, but prove that you were wrongfully accused the crimes you are being held in custody for. As of today, I am extending my deepest apology a

Chapter 67: Charlotte’s POV

“Mon cher, I need to speak with you.” Francisco peeks into the doorway of what’s supposed to be the master bedroom of this pathetic hide-out. My closet was bigger than this. I walk out and sit down on the couch and wait for him to start. This couldn’t be good if he was pacing again.“Are you going to talk?” My annoyance was evident at this point. This mutant growing inside me has made me intolerant and angry more often than not. He looks at me as he paces. Whether to gauge my annoyance or mentally prepare to say what I didn’t want to hear.“Spit it out already!” “I just got word that the girls’ brother is set to be released. Roman gave information on his case to guarantee a plea deal.” Matthew was only a small step in my process in hurting Claire and I had done so already. I had no interest in what happens to him. He was more of a liability to Claire than myself. From where I stood, that idiot still thinks I’m kind and some sort of friend.“Roman did well.” I shrug as I check my negl

Chapter 68: Leonardo’s POV

I leave Claire and head to the precinct when I hear that news had reached the tabloids of a young billionaire rekindling with his wife. It was kept anonymous as to who but I’m sure those who knew me would be able to piece the information together. Charlotte definitely did. I was relieved to see her text but too busy to take her call. I cared for you and I still care about her but my main focus is my wife. I’ve dedicated far too much time to Charlotte. I arrive at the precinct where I see Mason is just arriving back. “Long day, Mason?” I ask as we meet at the entrance. “An eventful day. I saw your brother-in-law and told him of his release in twenty four hours. The warden was apologetic as well. Not something I’m used to seeing.” “Thank you. Claire will be thrilled to have her brother back. She’s worried about his safety in there.” “Well he’s staying out of trouble and has been placed in solitary confinement to ensure he is released without error or held on any discrepancy. He’ll b

Chapter 68: Claire’s POV

I sit down with the therapist and Elena in the living room after his prompt arrival. “Alright Claire, I’ve brought some tools to exercise your right hand and I brought a portable hot sand therapy that we’ll be using before and after to help loosen those joints. I’m hoping to see a little bit more flexibility. Are you comfortable with that?” I liked the therapist that Leo chose. He was kind, moved slowly and explained everything thoroughly.“That sounds fine.” I slowly remove my splint and hold my hand out to the therapist as he feels for any atrophy. “Okay Claire. It feels tense but that’s normal. Can you close it at all?” I try to close it as instructed but it only moves slightly.“Okay. This is common. Let’s see how much it improves after the hot sand therapy.” He set the machine up on the table beside me and placed my hand inside while adhering a sleeve to my shoulder to keep the sand inside.“It’s going to be hot but you’ll only have your hand in for about five minutes. If it fe

Chapter 69: Leonardo’s POV

I drive to the location as directed by Mason and I’m met with an odd stench and unsightly bar. This is why I would be meeting Claire’s attacker and my former kidnapper. It seemed odd that a man who charges so much would hang around in the most unruliest of places but I decide to abandon my criticism. I could judge him after he’d been apprehended. I grab the suitcase from my trunk, go inside and sit at the far end of the bar which was surprisingly vacant. Whether done so, with purpose or not was beyond me. I wait in silence as I order a whiskey neat.I see a rugged average sized man come through the door and make direct eye-contact with me before making his way over. He sits to my right and orders a beer while lighting a cigarette. I see the box is Newports. A good sign that we had the right man.“You have a job for me?” He asks uninterested as he smokes and drinks.“I do.” I say as I down my whiskey and raise my glass for another fill. The bartender comes quickly and fills it before d

Chapter 69: Claire’s POV

It was about 8P.M when I heard the front door. I was helping Elena cook in the kitchen while we talked about this new art museum just downtown. I turn to see Leo in the doorway of the kitchen before I had the chance to make it to the foyer to greet him. I give him a nice-over for injuries and let out a sigh of relief. I run over and hug him.“Are you okay? Are you hurt?” I caress his face as he shakes his head no.“I have news.” He said softly and I excuse myself from Elena and follow him to the next room. It was the dining room. Leo pulled a seat out for me and I sit down while trying to keep my nerves at bay. He sits next to me.“I met with Mark Siles and we were able to pull off the sting. He’s currently being arraigned and processed and they’re going to tap into his phone history and interrogate him tomorrow.” The world’s slowed in that moment. I didn’t hear the ticking of the clock, his words were processing slower and everything felt warped in time. My first attack had been caug

Chapter 69: Charlotte’s POV

I awake to the sound of Francisco’s phone ringing and become quickly agitated. It wasn’t hard to tell that I was napping. Pregnancy was as exhausting and it was unappealing. I roll over and toss the phone at Francisco who is doing push-ups on the deck. “Did it wake you?” He asks as he comes to a stand after catching the phone.“What do you think.” I close the French door and can still see his shadow moving from side to side. Great - more pacing. I roll back over and begin to drift back into sleep when Francisco bursts in and asks that I listen to him immediately. I roll my eyes and rise to a sit.“What now?” I was becoming tired of his constant talking.“They have Mark.” “Who the hell is Mark?” I had no interest in names. When you have money, you can call people whatever you want.“Ay dois! The man you paid to kill your ex-lover’s child. I got word that he was arrested for what he’s done to Claire and they are building a strong case.” I freeze as I hear the news. Surely, they would

Chapter 70: Claire’s POV

As we descend the stairs, I hear Jasmine questioning Elena on what the celebration was about. I could tell that she was desperate for an explanation and I tap her shoulder with a smile.“Claire, is everything okay? Elena invited me for a celebration and -“ I mediate my show her my left hand and watch as she is gobsmacked and flabbergasted. I smile as I twinkle one specific finger.“Tell me that the same diamond I witnessed five years ago. The same halo and white gold accents that I adored so much?” She grabs my hand gently and I watch as her shock turned to happiness. She pulled me into a big hug.“You’re getting remarried? Oh Claire!” “No, actually. I had a clause added to the addendums of our divorce, if Claire ever chose to return to me - the decree of our divorce would be void and we’d continue our marriage.” Leo answers from behind me with a slight smile.“You succeed at taking her away from me - again!” We all laugh at her remark.“I’m willing to share custody of my wife.

Chapter 70: Jasmine’s POV

Have my eyes deceived me? Claire is wearing her wedding rings and Leonardo informs me of their marriage continuance. He loved her and he let her go and she came back. A true definition of love in my eyes. We continue to the dinner table and I notice how Claire excused herself after having just sat down. I found it a little odd but chose to ignore it - until I saw Elena excused herself after her as well. “Am I missing something?” I ask Leo as we wait for both ladies to return. “Like what?” He seemed genuinely confused by my question. “Well Claire went to the bathroom and then Elena forgot the wine? Seems like a ruse, no?” Were they planning or hiding something? “Oh, I’m sure Elena is just wanting to make things perfect for Claire. She’s extremely happy to have her home.” He was blinded by love. Shortly after, Elena comes back with wine and glasses. She places and pours three glasses. “Claire’s not going to have a glass? She loves wine.” I pout as I express this to Elena. “Ms. C

Chapter 70: Leonardo’s POV

I didn’t think much of Jasmine’s curiosity but she did make some valid points. I decide it’s best if I go check on my wife - just to be on the safe side.I head down the hallway and hear nothing but silence. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary as I reach the door but I knock anyways. I see the door open carefully and Claire looks in shock as she sees me.“Is everything alright? You’ve been in here for a while now and Jasmine was starting to get anxious.” I can tell that she’s blocking the door.“Yeah. I just have some sour stomach from our new health shakes. Nothing serious.” She recited the same excuse as Elena had told Jasmine and I.“Interesting. Elena just said the same thing.” I could tell when Claire was lying. She would always look into my eyes and redirect her gaze to my chest as she did.“I’m okay, really.” “Well I’d rather see for myself. How about I stay with you until you feel well enough to join everyone?” “Don’t be silly! It’s rude if we’re both absent.” She was stalli
