  MEANWHILE… “I’ve got Laura’s location,” Ezi said with a grin, glancing at Astin. But his smile vanished when he saw Astin’s furious face. “My wife’s in danger and you’re smiling like that?” Ian smacked the back of Ezi’s head after hearing Astin’s outburst.“Idiot! You know he just sobered up!” Ian snapped at Ezi before walking away.Astin quickly dialed John and sent him the location. His old military buddies were on vacation, so they agreed right away. They’d serve as their snipers. Ian also had his own team of snipers, so they were going in full force.Astin, Ian, DK, John, and Dariel would be breaching the building. They also had backup—Ninong Axel’s men and her daughter Lexxie. Ezi would be their eyes. It looked like Ezi had hacked into the entire building’s system, so Astin felt more confident.They would save his wife. He wouldn’t let anything bad happen to her. He was already shattered—Garza and his daughter would crush him further if she got hurt.Before leaving headquarters

  Laura woke to a sharp pain in her stomach. She shifted her gaze slightly.Where was she?Only a lampshade dimly illuminated the room. That room was completely bare. There was only a table with a lamp.Suddenly she panicked when she heard voices outside the door. Like footsteps of people passing by, and laughter—like madmen.She looked at her hands. They were handcuffed. She felt pain whenever they moved. Her smooth skin reddened from the tugging.She bowed her head when the door opened. She didn’t want to see their faces. A moment later, they placed food before her.“Eat this first. B oss isn’t here yet,” one said as he pulled her hand.“Ouch!” she cried when he yanked her hand, jostling the cuffs.“You act so refined! Should I remove your cuffs so you can eat?” he snapped angrily.She stayed silent when she heard his voice. It was loud, almost like it was mic’d.She glared at him. Thankfully, he was not looking her way.“W-why are you keeping me here? I don’t have money to kidnap you

  “Where’s King? Where is my son?” Thunder shouted in anger.He grabbed Astin’s hand and pulled it toward himself.“Where is he, Ira?” He gripped her arm, provoking Astin’s fury.“Don’t you ever touch my woman!” Astin yelled, punching Thunder in the face—Thunder looked stunned. She had never seen Astin so furious. She stepped between them to stop it.Thunder held his bleeding nose and jaw, glaring at Astin. “That’s enough, Astin. We’re going home. People are staring at us.”She saw a man climb into a vehicle, definitely not from the area. They were taking pictures of them.“Ira,” Thunder said, frowning, probably confused by what she said. She simply smiled.He looked back at Thunder, who was heading inside. She followed quickly. Thunder took King from Kiarra’s nanny, passing her without a word.“Thunder, wait!” she called.“If you want to be left here, you stay, Ira. But I’m taking King,” he replied harshly, glancing at her.She froze at his words.She looked to Astin, who was staring at

  Ira glanced at Astin’s hand holding hers. She didn’t know why she let herself be led by her boss again. He was still pulling her along. There was only one room on the second floor, so she knew that was where they were headed.Her lips parted when they entered the spacious room. She thought it must be the master’s bedroom. She looked at her boss. He turned on the big screen inside.A moment later, a video started playing on it. It looked like wedding documentation. It was mostly pictured in a slideshow.She sat down on the big bed when the next video played. It was focused on the groom. No one else but Astin.She looked at Astin, who was walking toward her. He was staring at her.“Y-your wedding,” she commented.He nodded and sat in front of her. He touched her face gently after a while. “Let’s watch this. Is that okay?”“I-is it long? King’s downstairs, and no one’s watching him.”He chuckled softly. “Not really. There are more videos coming up, but they’re not long. Don’t worry, plen

  She glanced at Thunder, embarrassed. His smile was forced. She also noticed his clenched fist. She had no idea why.Was he hurting? She hoped her guess was wrong.“I’m sorry,” she said to him.“It’s okay.” He started driving out of the parking lot.Their ride was quiet. Only their sighs could be heard, aside from the hum of the engine. She thanked him when he opened the door for her, but he only nodded.She went inside ahead of him. She turned to glance at Thunder one last time before going in. She headed straight to their child’s room. King was fast asleep.She stared at her son’s face. As days passed, she started seeing her boss’s face in him. She shook her head and shut her eyes. Maybe it was the good night kiss earlier. But her view didn’t change—the nose, the lips, the brows, even the shape of his jaw.She didn’t realize she had fallen asleep while stroking her son’s cheek.She was awakened the next day by her son’s voice. The nanny was inside the room. Apparently, they were play

  Ira couldn’t stop thinking all sorts of things about Astin. He had Elisa with him during lunch, and now there’s Barbie waiting at his office. And then, they’ve already had something happen between them a few times.What really is their status? What exactly is she to her boss? A rebound? A bedwarmer? Just when she finally accepted that she wasn’t really Thunder’s wife. Just when she was ready to give Astin a chance, did he already change his mind?She couldn’t help but ask herself. Were he and those other women doing the same things she did with Astin? If so, why was he taking advantage of her amnesia when he had a girlfriend all along?She glanced at her boss. He was practically flying the car just to see that Barbie, was too excited just to see that woman. She rolled her eyes at him. Good thing he wasn’t looking—his eyes were on the road.She pressed her chest. Her heart ached. She felt pain every time she thought of his girlfriend. She felt like just another woman to him.
