[Addison]

"Addy!"

There are loud, rapid footsteps followed by the heavy sound of someone falling to their knees. Warm arms reach around me and cradle me to their chest, their heart beating rapidly against my ear.

My husband, Michael, is shaking with fear as he looks down at me with wide, frightened eyes.

"Addison! What have you done!" His voice shakes as he looks up at the open window and then back at me. "Why? Do I make you so miserable that you are trying to kill yourself?"

"Don't forget, you're still pregnant!" He blamed me.

The sadness in his voice makes my heart skip. I scoffed in my mind. There was no child anymore.

Does he really care about me underneath all of this anger and angst? Am I the one pushing him away with my jealousy?

"Michael, help, I fell," I whimper pathetically. I hate how weak I sound, how defenseless I am. I don't want his help, but what choice do I have? I was foolish to think I could climb out the window to get away.

In the distance, my son's small voice

  • Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King   Chapter 234

    For a moment, I consider going back into the room where Adam lay dying in his own blood. As unsafe as that room is, how disastrous it would be to find myself caught there, holding my little girl, waiting for death to come through the door, what I’ve come out into might be worse. I had thought I’d make it to the service elevator, or maybe the emergency stairs, but both exits are blocked by broken bodies, their hands loosely clutched to weapons that have fallen from their hands, as their comrades file in over them, creating a mob scene out of Vandersteele Tower executive floor lobby.Clutching Livy even tighter to my chest, I block her ears from the sounds of gunfire and screams as I scan the room for any way out. Maybe, if I head down this hall a bit further, there might be another exit. If Vandersteele Tower is anything like Grant Group’s main office, there are several emergency exits. Nobody wanted to be stuck in a building that could easily switch to a death trap if something drast

    Gargling, Adam stumbles, his hand grasping his stomach as he falls to his knees, his body slamming into the ground with a bone-shattering force. If my captor feels it, he doesn’t show it on his face, which is blank with shock and confusion, as if he isn’t sure how he ended up on the ground when just a moment ago he was charging towards my little girl. Wrapping my arms protectively around Olivia, I hold her shaking body to my chest. She’s only 6 years old. I’m not sure there is enough therapy in the world to help her overcome this moment of terror. She was just driven to pick up a gun to protect herself and the only woman she’s called mama since the death of her real mother, Jane. The wound may have been accidental, but the sight of this man dying because she threw a gun at him in fear and self-defense will stick with her. Like every other wound she’s received this year at the hands of Debrassy and his men. The weight of that thought settles heavy around my shoulders. Vanessa Vander

    Adam stiffens. Standing up roughly, he tightens his hold on my hair, pulling me up by my scalp and his gun falls, rattling to the ground, releasing the bullet that had been in the barrel. Light flashes as the bullet hurdles to the large windows, shattering the glass. “Kill the girl,” he snarls. “Maybe that will loosen her words.” Still holding me by the nape, he looks around, searching for his gun. But it isn’t there. And Olivia Grant is no longer screaming. The gun cocks. All heads turn towards my little girl, who is now looking at us all with an eerie clarity. Her hands are still, unshaking, as she glares with the surety of an assassin. One of his men lifts their rifle as Livy aims for Adam’s head. My heart leaps into my throat. “Olivia,” I try to reason with her, my voice steady and calm despite the thundering blood rushing through my ears. “Put down the gun. They won’t hurt you if you put down the gun.”I don’t know if that’s true, but goddamn it, I can’t watch them kil

    [Vanessa] Looking around, I briefly surveyed the room. He only brought 5 people with him. They are all big, burly looking individuals, but they are large, and weighted down with weapons and heavy armor. Could I create enough chaos to outrun them? Next to me Livy is beginning to stir as the drugs finally begin to wear off. My poor little girl. She will be so terrified when she realizes how bad the situation has become. She has already survived a similar situation. How long will she need to be in therapy before the nightmares end this time? How long will I be?Thank God he hasn’t figured out I am pregnant. If he knew, he’d likely use my babies, as well as Livy, to force me to do whatever he wants. The problem is, the thing he wants is impossible. He keeps ranting about his family’s luck, and from what I understand, some “Luck device” he is convinced was crafted during WWII in Nazi-controled Germany. It’s so ridiculous, that if I weren’t in the middle of this madness, I’d think it

  • Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King   Chapter 230

    [Vanessa]Vandersteele Tower had been headquarters to the Vandersteele family fortune. It has been more than 15 years since I stood here with my grandfather. I was his only grandchild, and he wanted me to know the business someday. “You are our little light, Vanessa. Someday all of this will be yours.” As a kid, I thought he meant all of New York. It made me feel like a princess standing in the highest spire of a grand castle as we looked out towards the ocean in the tallest building in the city. My heart clenches as I close my eyes and remember Victor, my grandfather. He was tall, with thick gray hair and a warm, gentle smile. I can’t remember his face, but I do remember how warm his hands felt wrapped around my small fingers, and the feeling of being loved and cherished.I hadn’t thought of him in years. But now, standing here, I can almost see this room bright with sun, the broken furniture elegant and whole. “Do you like the view, Fraulien Vandersteele?” my captor hisses, laughi

  • Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King   Chapter 229

    [Vanessa]The entire time I thought I had been playing Adam West, keeping him ignorant of my mission and how I was using him to get close to Debrassy’s affairs, but in reality, he was the one waiting to trick me into a dangerous situation. I can still feel his blade on my neck as he threatened my little girl, promising to kill me if she didn’t surrender. Olivia Grant has already lived through so much tragedy, and I worked so hard to keep her life clear of all the mess and intrigue her uncle and I are tangled up in. But it seems even the best renovations, high-tech security systems and talented military-grade staff isn’t enough to keep a monster out of our fortress. For the second time since I’ve met Hunter, Grant Manor lies in ruins, burnt to a crisp. I had promised Livy that she’d never have to face a situation as terrifying as the one she had experienced when we both almost died just a couple of months ago. And yet here we are, thrown into the back of a van with our faces covered,
