[Kaden]Who the hell was behind this?That is all I've been muttering under my breath since we left California heading back to NYC with the ID photo that was right in my palmsI took a deep breath, my hand digging into my scalp as the words of Felicia rang in my ear before I stepped out of her house"I...I've told you everything you needed to know but how...how am I sure another of my child won't be kidnapped and brought back dead, that was exactly what happened when I confided in someone else," She had said with tears in her eyesI swallowed hard gulping down the lump in my throat. I asked to move them somewhere safer and a place I would put my men to watch over them and I'm glad they agreed. So currently they are staying right at the underground building in one of my houses in California and just like I told her, I will make sure she gets justiceWhat cruel human would be this heartless? I knew how my heart kept clenching and unclenching as she narrated what she had been through thi
[Matilda]"Are you just going to stand there staring at me? I'll be done in a few minutes," I said to Leo who was right in my kitchen, arms crossed over his chest as he stared up at me"What should I do, tell me?" Leo asked making me chuckle"You can't do anything here Leo, use the living room and let me cook, dinner will be ready soon, are you that hungry?" I asked biting back a chuckle as I washed my vegetables"Why do I feel like you've not fully forgiven me?""Here we go again, I know you're going to say this one more time. If I haven't forgiven you then I don't see a reason why you should be here," I rolled my eyes and Leo chuckled, still not giving into it"How about you show me then?""Show you?" My hand paused, my brows creasing together as I turned to stare at this gorgeous man who wouldn't let me be. "And how am I supposed to show you that?""Let me assist you, I can slice the vegetables, but if you insist I leave, then I guess you haven't truly forgiven me," Leo said and I
[Cherry]The next dayMy jaw clenched, my hands tapping repeatedly on my thighs as I tried to reach this bastard who wouldn't fucking take my callsI had sent him the addresses and the pictures of who Kaden was supposed to meet this is fucking noon and he wasn't still taking my callsMy hand dug into my scalp, my eyes shifting to the other side of the bed as the person beside me stirred in their sleep. That beautiful lashes fluttering slowly"You're... you're awake?" They said and I took a deep breath trying to swallow the lump that made its way to my throat"How am I supposed to sleep? He's not taking my calls and I don't even know what's going on right now, I'm confused." I said, my heart thudding hard in my chestI don't fucking know but I just hope everything is going well. Did Kaden notice someone trailing them? Did they stay elsewhere aside from his penthouse because if everything was going as planned, one of the men this old fool forwarded their number to me could have fucking
[Cherry]"What the hell are you talking about?" I snapped, my hand digging into my scalp as sweat prickled from every part of my bodyOh no, this won't happen. Can't happen. You have to act fast Cherry. Something is going wrong, no way!!!"I'm telling you what I know ma'am," The idiot from the other end said. Why was every one of them pissing me off? I fucking pay them so well to give me information and get work done so what exactly was he talking about now?"You're telling me you can't find someone I fucking gave you the address to find?" I snapped, my blood boiling even more"I am right at the building you explained and like I told you the people I met there when I disguised myself as a delivery man are far from what you explained. It was nothing like the picture you sent to me, it was an older man that answered the door and I had asked him to check if it was any of his family that ordered since he said he didn't and he said the only person he stays there with is his dog," He said y
[Kaden]"That I know, and honestly I don't hold it on him, but I know you want justice for your husband and your son, but that can not happen if you keep your mouth shut, tell me what you know," I asked firmly Felicia stared at me biting on her lower lip as she averted her eyes from me, I made to speak only to hear a creak of a door behind me, and I snapped my head towards the door. Her eyes widened and I could already sense what was going on"If you hid your kids because you thought I would harm them, then I'm going to tell you one more time that I mean no harm and I am only here for answers and right now I'm also here to help. I...I wouldn't wish what you went through for my enemy," I mumbled, her eyes flickered to the door before turning back to meShe took another deep breath and plopped back down on the couch and I did the same, taking my seat back"Living years in fear had me hiding my kids whenever a knock came on my door. And yes my three kids live here with me," She said an
[Kaden]"What do you mean by that?" I asked, my brows creasing together as I watched Felicia's hand clamp together, tears still rolling down her cheeks nonstop. She stared up at me, wiping up her teary eyes as a painful smile curled her lips"I'm not daft you know," She sniffed, lowering her head like she was avoiding my eyes. "In as much as I wasn't certainly sure about what happened, I knew it had something to do with your later father. I knew it also had something to do with my daughter's kidnap. So many puzzles were piecing together as I thought about everything," she said softly, her chest heaving like she was finding it very difficult to say her next words"I contacted a friend of mine who was a police officer, I told him everything and narrated everything to him. Told him what I thought and asked him for advice on how I should go about it, he said he would help me out on it," Felicia paused and suddenly broke into sobs. I watched as Ryan immediately stood up from his couch, try
