[Katelyn]

The short journey to the hospital goes by in such a blur that as I'm parking in the underground lot, I can't quite remember how I got there. Grabbing my ID, I ran to the elevator, not even bothering to lock the door to my car. I don't care if it disappears. I need to be there before he goes into surgery.

Maybe then I can give him a little something to live for. Dear God, don't let him die. I can't let him go. I won't.

I need to save him.

"WHERE IS CAPTAIN CARTER?" I try to keep my voice steady even though I can hear how loud I sound to everyone else as I demand information from reception. The hospital is in general chaos, nurses and EMTs pushing gurneys, sirens blaring. The whole city seems to be burning down around us, but in this moment, my thoughts have a lazer focus. Reggie.

And there isn't enough time. There never is, I guess.

Pulling out my government badge, I flash it at the nurse demanding information and access. I want to shout, "I'm his wife!" but that wouldn't

  • Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King   Chapter 209

    [Michael]The nearest hospital, Manhattan General, is abuzz with activity as my car screeches through the emergency room pullout. Several ambulances are blocking the entry because the usual ambulance parking is already full. In addition to the shooting at Debrassy's, and the following stampede of elite New Yorkers scrambling to leave before the police arrive and identify them, apparently while much of that was going on several city blocks in the old money part of town burst into flames, injuring dozens.Evelyn's moans from the back seat are the only way I know she's still alive as I hit the curb and park on the sidewalk. A security person yells at me, but I can't hear it. I'm too focused on her. "Someone, hurry!" I shout as I jump out of the car. "My wife, she's pregnant. She's been shot!"Despite everything that has happened between Evelyn and myself, I still care for her. I may not love her the way I once did, but I'm still responsible. I haven't married her officially, but she liv

  • Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King   Chapter 208

    [Katelyn]When I heard the fire as it whipped through the alley, I saw the last views from my fiance’s camera, the raging inferno headed in their direction. I refused to close my eyes, capturing each tragic moment, making sure that I missed nothing of my beloved’s last breaths. Even several minutes later, I can still hear the screams in my head as everyone inside that van burned to a crisp. There’s no way that my Reggie survived. My stomach churns for at least the dozenth time today, and holding my gut, I rush to the bathroom, hoping nobody noticed me leave. Dear God, how am I going to manage this without him. We’ve been inseparable since the moment we met, just a couple of kids who came together one afternoon because of a shared friend.Hunter and I were always more like siblings, but with Reggie, his calm cool intellect mixed with fierce loyalty and fearless bravery, I found a mirror to my own soul. We were drawn together, like magnets, like two halves of the same person. He was t

  • Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King   Chapter 207

    [Hunter]My world is on fire, again. Grant Manor is aflame, the alley behind the house scorched. Burned bodies are barely more than soot lying like victims of an apocalypse as nearby buildings smolder. My home is gone. And somewhere inside that mess is Livy…and Vanessa. “Breathe,” I remind myself, focusing on my meditation, closing my eyes briefly as I count to ten slowly in my mind. “Breathe.” As I step out of the car, the sound of sirens ring through the night as emergency vehicles rush to the scene. They are already swarming the blocks beyond, held back from my property as BLACKEAGLE’s second wave begins cleaning the mess and evidence. We can’t have the police muddying up the scene before our people can collect any evidence or survivors. In my race to get here, I took every shortcut, the sound of BLACKEAGLE's com system ringing through my car. I could hear every moment as the van rushed to the scene. I heard the screams as my second and his men burned to a crisp in the white van

  • Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King   Chapter 206

    [Reggie]The van is ringing with the sound of alarms as we turn the last corner. Livy’s security has been breached, the outer doors to the safety hatch opened, and the panic room compromised. The new system, despite its sophisticated improvements, has failed. Now it’s up to me to make things right. For Hunter, Olivia, and for Vanessa. The three of them are just as much my family as Katelyn. Even though I’m officially the third son of the prestigious Carter family, I didn’t know what it felt like to have a real brother until I met Hunter Grant. If it weren’t for him, I’d have never survived prep school and found my real strength. I owe him my life and my eternal loyalty. One thing I know about Hunter is that there is nothing more precious and important than family. Even when his parents rejected him, treating him like a pariah and casting him in the mold of the family’s lost cause, he still defended them, and when the time came, avenged them. When his sister died and Livy was in dange

    [Vanessa]There are no windows, no light. The only clues I have to where I am is the feeling of cold, dirty metal underneath my skin, the smell of oil and gasoline, and the sound of wheels skidding on pavement as the vehicle makes a sharp turn.Where am I?The last thing I remember is the sound of Adam's voice as he calls me by my true name, followed by a burst of pain and then nothing. Tires screech beneath me as my cold body rolls, my tied wrists screaming in agony as new bruises form. We hit a speedbump and my body jumps along with it, hitting the ground with a solid thunk. I must be in the back of some kind of van or truck. Dear God, let my babies be okay. The last time I was tied up and gagged, the delicate life inside of me died at the hands of my kidnappers. This can’t be the end. I can’t let this be the end. I need to find a way out of this. I won’t let the same thing happen twice. Taking shallow breaths around the dirty rag they shoved down my throat, I struggle to keep m
