I screamed until my throat felt sore. The car stopped and a knock came on the partition. I stiffened and tried to move my body. Damon held me in place with one hand and moved the other down to rub my clit. “The car is soundproof. Scream louder for me, wife.” Oh, fuck! I gladly obeyed. And he kept up his pace until I came, screaming his name at the top of my lungs. When we finally finished and fixed our clothes, I sat up and realized the car had stopped in front of an unfamiliar building. Damon stepped out of the limo and opened my door for me. “My lady.” The irony of him calling me that after the way he had just fucked me almost made me laugh. My face flushed as I took his hands and came out from the car. He stepped behind me and placed his hands over my eyes. I gasped in surprise. “Where are y
GABRIELLE’S POVI sat in the living room with my phone clutched in my hand, staring at the screen even though it remained dark.The door opened and a guard rushed inside.“They’re here, ma’am,” he said, a rifle hanging from his shoulder.I stared at him, shocked.After everything that had happened tonight, my mind refused to believe it could end this way.Fiorella grabbed my arm. “Gabrielle.”I blinked and looked at her.Her eyes were bright with relief. “Go.”My legs finally moved.I rushed out of the living room and stepped outside just as four black cars drove through the gates.My heart pounded harder with every second.The cars rolled to a stop in front of the house, armed men stepping out first.I kept looking past them, searching for my children.The second car opened.Susan stepped out first with Aria sleeping in her arms.A broken sound left my throat. Lila climbed out after them holding an ice cream cone in one hand.Another man opened the door on the other side and lifted
DAMON’S POVArmed men surrounded us, but I kept my eyes on Antonio.The man beside him smiled. “I was expecting your wife to come alone, based on how she sounded on the phone.”I ignored him, still staring at Antonio.“You,” I said slowly, almost disbelievingly.Antonio gave a small shrug. “I know. You look heartbroken.”Rhys dropped the duffel bags with a loud thud. “Should’ve killed you last night at the party.”Antonio’s mouth curved faintly. “And yet here I am.”My jaw tightened.I remembered the countless nights we spent drinking together with friends and business partners at his club, Eden.The deals, the conversations, and the plans.All bullshit.“You took my children,” I said flatly.Antonio tilted his head. “It wasn’t personal at first.”“At first?” I repeated.He sighed as though I was forcing him to explain something obvious. “You started becoming a problem again. Both of you.”His eyes flicked toward Rhys.“The underworld was finally stabilizing after Rocco died,” he cont
GABRIELLE’S POVI returned to the living area and found Fiorella waiting for me.Only a few armed guards remained near the entrances while staff cleared the barely touched tea and scattered papers from the table.Fear still sat inside me as I slowly lowered myself onto the couch.Fiorella sat beside me. “Do you want me to stay with you?”I didn’t hesitate. “Yes.”She reached for my hand and held it.My gaze stayed fixed on the clock across the room, watching every second pass.Tears burned my eyes again. “I keep thinking about Lila crying on the phone.”Fiorella squeezed my hand slightly.“They won’t harm them because they’re leverage,” she said softly. “They did that to scare you into doing what they want.”A painful ache spread through my chest. “She’s just a child. She must be traumatized right now.”“I know,” she responded. “That’s why you need to pull yourself together, for their sake.”Pain twisted inside my chest.“Be strong,” she said. “Children are more resilient than we give
GABRIELLE’S POV I slept through the whole flight to Italy. When I woke up, we had already landed for almost thirty minutes and Damon was sitting across the bed, watching me. “You’re finally awake, sleepy head,” he said, his voice low. I stretched my arms above my head, the muscles pulling
GABRIELLE’S POV Damon had been melting my heart lately. He was already doing that before but it was way more frequent now. So when those words left his mouth, I didn’t hesitate. I felt his heartbeat race and his breath hitch as I moved my hands slowly up his body. My hands moved from hi
GABRIELLE’S POV The urge to ask the meaning of the words he whispered died when his mouth found mine. Fireworks exploded in my chest and I melted, my knees buckling underneath me. His grip on my waist was the only thing holding me upright. I didn’t know how it happened but somehow, my clo
DAMON’S POV My meeting was long overdue but I kept stalling and pushing it forward to spend more time with my wife. She had no idea how often I thought about her whenever I was away. It consumed me so deeply, like a drug addict waiting for their next fix. Except, I was still functional wi
