My little boy looks so small sitting in the witness stand, gazing with his big blue eyes at the judge, who seems like a mountain of authority gazing down at him.

"Don't worry about what your parents might think," the Judge implores. "Just answer my questions truthfully. Can you do that for me, Jayson?"

My son sits a little taller and nods bravely, "Yes, Mr. Judge, sir."

"You can call me Judge Walker," The kindly older man smiles warmly at my little boy in a grandfatherly way that makes my son relax. There's something about the judge that feels trustworthy, and I wonder if he has any children or grandchildren of his own.

"What do you want to know?" Jayson blinks up innocently.

"Tell me about your family," the Judge urges. Tell me about your mother and father."

Jayson pauses, but then begins to speak. At first, the words were kind enough, "My father is a lawyer. He's busy a lot. I don't see him much, but when I do, we always have fun." He grins at his father, and I know tha

  • Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King   Chapter 217

    My body froze.Here I was, dressed like the criminal that I just became, holding the evidence of my crime “red-handed” only a few hundred steps from the scene, glass decorating the inside lining of my hood. My head darted from side to side. Didn’t Debrassy say that he’d be here, that the whole reason he left early was so that he and the crew could get the van?Where the hell was he?And then I remembered his warning, that if I didn't make it out in time he'd leave me. But I had set an alarm, I made sure I was here on time. I wasn't late.He also said that he and his crew had handled the security system, but obviously they missed something because I musth have triggered an alarm. It couldn't have been from breaking the glass. That wasn't even 5 minutes ago. The cops had to have been on their way before then.But I didn't have time to think it through. The answer would come to me eventually.What I needed to do was get out of there before the police noticed me. I just needed to act cas

    But I wasn't worried, we had a plan.The problem was, I didn’t have all the details. Following Debrassy into that building was a leap of faith. I had trusted Debrassy when he told me it was better this way. "If you knew everything...well then you might be in more trouble if we get caught," was his excuse, right after he tried to convince me that we wouldn't have a problem with the police even if we did. I believed that he would tell me what I needed to know, and if he didn’t tell me, it was probably for my own good. “Don’t worry about it,” he had reassured me, “We'll be in and out in 15 minutes," he assured me. "Then back to my place to celebrate." Looking back now, I realize it was the same as writing a blank check for placing blame--he could make me pay any amount he chose because I was too foolish to read the details before signing. But I was blind, not because of ignorance, but because of my own stubborn nature. I needed to believe I had made the right choice following him, so

    Like the fool that I was, I ran across the street and followed him into the shadows.In the alleyway between Vandersteele tower and another tall skyscraper stood Desmond and four other goons. They were all dressed in head-to-toe black, and looked more like professional assassins than teens getting into a little trouble.“Here,” he threw me a black ski mask from a large backpack. “I don’t know if the cameras still work or not. Better play it safe.”Grunting, I pulled the mask over my head, but an uneasy feeling was brewing in my gut. This didn’t feel right. The Vandersteeles had been old family friends. My grandmother had been best friends with the family matriarch before they died in that terrible accident out west. I had been at that wedding, along with my famil

    [Hunter]It was a stupid decision, one that would shape the rest of my life. If I could go back, maybe I would have listened to Reggie–but then I wouldn’t have become the man I am today, a man strong enough to find and reclaim my family and take vengeance for the dead. Because regardless of what I wanted, whether it had been on that particular night or another, the Debrassy family was coming for mine. They had already taken down the Harkness family, then the Vandersteeles, now it was time for the Grants. Soon there would be only one power family left–theirs. But I didn’t know that yet. I was too young to be trusted with anything too important. My father was still alive, still acting CEO of Grant Group, although it was my grandfather pulling the strings behind the curtain. I was just an unneeded, unwanted son. My older sister Jane was the heir apparent, and she was on her way to California for law school after graduating with her pre-law degree two years early. The thing is, even t

    [Hunter]If only our argument had fizzled off, but Reggie loved me too damn much to let me just walk away without trying again. “Damn it, Hunter! Don’t let that prick turn you into his simp! You’re being an idiot!”Reggie knew how those words would cut me to my core. He had heard enough about my father’s verbal and psychological abuse to know they’d trigger me.But he said them anyway--because he loved me and couldn’t bear to see me walking away. He knew those words would get through to me–and to be honest, his heart was hurting too. He was angry at me for falling for what was an obvious trap, but I was too blind, and too damn stubborn to see it that way. His words felt like a slap. A rejection. That feeling of hurt burned more than any blow, especially coming from him.If I had taken the time then to think about it, I would have seen it for what it was--a call for help, a desperate plea to get me to see reason. But I was young, hot-tempered, and already on edge. Driven by my desi

    [Hunter]But that event wouldn’t happen for another year. As I stride across the room and strip out of my suit, putting on the first layer of my tactical gear, I can see the moment everything changed. It's a bitch, how hindsight is 20-20 and the mistakes of the past are sharp as knives that slice your heart into ribbons when you look back and realize what you should have done differently. I should have never trusted Desmond Debrassy.Reggie tried to warn me. And now my best friend is dying because I underestimated the monster, again. "Keep it together, Grant," I inhale again, pulling on my chestplate. "Just a little bit longer." My hands shake as I pull on my gloves and fasten them in place, my mania edging into my nervous system, putting me on high alert. Soon, the shaking will stop, replaced with clean precision and a focused determination to hurt and kill. But I'm not there yet. I'm not that broken.Reaching for my helmet, a slick piece of technology crafted by one of my best
