***LONDON'S POV***Zane has been acting off for the past three nights and I just can't because it makes my head hurt. I have the night to myself since the baby is sleeping and here I am sitting on the patio waiting for Zane to come home. He has been coming home lately, and although I haven't called him out on that, the truth was, I didn't know what to actually tell him. The moment I dozed off, I heard the creak of a car and a familiar figure materialize before me. I noticed Zane before his manly fragrance washed over my nostrils. Wringling my body to a sitting position, I push my hands forward, begging for Zane to carry me. He does and I crinkle my nostrils at how wasted he was. "I hate that you get drunk every night you get home," I say, admitting to it. "If I want to survive another day, knowing that Oliver is out there, at least, let me do it drunk," he mutters honestly. My eyes flutter several times as I try to maintain my gaze on him. "You don't have to kill hi
***ZANE'S POV***I had a meeting with Rio Monteleo and I was on my way to Aloha district. London was sitting beside me and the baby was in the baby carrier beside her. Little Dante was growing up so fast. It has been eleven months since we last saw or heard of Oliver and Michael and I didn't give a fuck where they were hiding or what was going on in their lives. But deep in me, I knew they were hiding underground, ready to attack at any given time. "Dada. Dddada," little Dante sings song as he bit on his play toy. My boy was always blabbing but now, he could call my name and I squealed with excitement whenever I heard him call out on me. "Yes, little angel? We are soon reaching Rio's house. I bet you would want to see Kayla again, right?" I asked staring at him.Kayla was Rio's wife, Mia's, niece and she had been staying with them since her parents died in an accident. She was three and would talk shit out of Dante whenever they met. "Yes. Koala... Meet baby Koala,"
***LONDON'S POV***Mia had baby fever, she just kept her hands on my baby and I loved the fact that Dante was loving the attention. "You are going to spoil him," I tease her and she chuckles. "Just like Zane. I know. I can't help it," she stutters.Smiling at her, I grabbed the bottle of juice and poured it into a glass, I took a healthy sip. "I can help you with the last minute things, but then, anything that comes up, you will have to sort it out yourself, I hope you know that," she says staring at me. "Of course, I do. See, you know why we couldn't do this home at Lake Side City, Mia. The fact that Oliver hasn't made a move yet doesn't mean he isn't looking for the right time to attack. Right now, Zane wouldn't take the chance of sitting around and waiting for the man to pull up, remove his Glock, and shoot us," I explained. Mia nodded. Keeping Dante on the play pen and helping Kayla to be beside him, they start playing. "Why do you think Rio wanted Zane to be here?"
***ZANE'S POV***I watch how London squirms when I touch her, it just makes me want more. Touching her clit with my thumb and index finger, I squeeze it a little bit until she is a whimpering mess. Covering her mouth with hers, I chuckle at it, making her sneer. "I'll come if you continue like that," she cries out."Then, don't let me hold you a younger, London, cum for me," I order.At once, she drives between my hands. We don't have penetrative sex, but I do make her cum twice with my tongue, and at the end, I lap all of her juices, not making her drop a single one. "Let me return the favor," London says when I try to buckle my trousers. Cupping her face in my hand, I decline softly. "You will have plenty of time to do that later. Not now, though," I say. When she frowns, my eyes grow dark and my jaws hallow. "I was in a meeting, London. Now, go check on the baby and keep Mia company. I will make sure to show up for dinner on time," I explain. When my wife roll
***ZANE'S POV***I was talking to Rio Monteleo about the possibilities of establishing a stronger power and taking out Oliver in a heartbeat when I heard annoying sounds coming from the outside. Walking towards the window, I dip my head down and see London pacing and talking mad into the phone. She looks so stressed out. Also, she acted like she was tired and the pale color of her face made me know that she was stressed out from whatever was stealing her attention. "Something's going on with my wife downstairs. I will go and see what the problem is," I say warmly, excusing myself from Rio's office. He stands to make it outside with me and then, he touches my shoulder. Looking behind my back, I wait to hear what he has to say. "Take it easy with her, Zane. Remember she is just a kid and you have more experience than her. Support her, teach her what you want and you will see the rest of your world falling into place around you," he mutters, explaining to me. I sta
***LONDON'S POV***I really shouldn't have involved Zane. I don't fucking know what I was thinking handing the phone to Zane, but damn if I had any resistance when it comes to this man then, I am fucking lying. That's what this marriage is about, right? Honesty and devotion. As much as I have my love to give Zane, I need him to know that I am honest. Oh, yeah! He could trust every version of me starting with the honest one. "What are we going to do now?" I inquire my brows drawing upward in a frenzy manner. A long breath was drawn and I stopped breathing, waiting for the other pair of slippers to fall. "You need to act like everything is okay, London. This is nothing but a plot for that son of a bitch to have you in his claws again," Zane says. If he thinks that is going to make me feel good, well, he has a long time coming. "Oliver has the upper hand here, Zane. He has my brother. How would you feel if it were one of your brothers that was being held hostage right no
***ZANE'S POV***To say I was mad was an understatement. I was furious. London was going to learn how to respect me no matter the fucking course. Pulling my weight from her, I tracked her movement as I waited for her to give me a response. When I found that London wasn't in bed, I didn't make a move to go for her because I had heard her phone ring. She had been sniffing in the bathroom thinking that I wasn't able to hear her. I had heard all of it. But with pure restrain, I had stopped myself from reaching out to her. "Talk," I urge her sitting beside her on the large bed.Her red-rimmed eyes stare at me before she whispers the words I fear the most. "Oliver said if I don't meet him tomorrow he will deliver a box of Micah's body parts to me before the night is over," she stutters. "Bullshit. You know he is blackmailing you, right? He can't do that and you so well know it," I blurt out hoping she sees the truth in what I was saying.London's teary eyes just stared at me
***LONDON'S POV***4:45 p.m I grab my phone tensing at each turn, waiting for the right time to badge out of the house.My baby is one year old today and I feel so fucking proud about it. He is the only reason why I am coming here today. I want him to have a life well deserved. He needs to know his parents have the world at his disposal.IT'S TIMEI read the message and closed my eyes in fear, my chest constricting with a lot of thoughts running through my head. The people in the house weren't many, but we were enough to distract me from Zane as I made my way outside. "Going somewhere, London?" I hear Reaper's dark voice ask as I step outside. Closing my ears, I shake my head, staring at him. "No, Reaper. Zane has sent me to go grab the present he bought for Dante. It's in his truck," I say looking at it.That's a cheap lie. Reaper's snarl says it too. "I got that present out earlier this morning. I also heard that you are at a flight risk to go save your brother.
