[Addison]

Finally unclenching my fist, I fiddle with the lock of the handcuff, using the key that I had fought so hard to claim from my willful, naughty son.

Livy's in trouble. I can hear her screaming. His attack, which must have felt like it came out of nowhere, probably put her into one of her rages. Her autism makes it hard for her to transition from one task to the next, and any interruption can lead to at least a snappy reply or a grump or two.

And that's with a warning. I doubt Jayson said, "Hey Livy, I'm going to hit you with a bat!"

Not only that, but Livy was also reading about one of her favorite things. I can't even imagine the level of anger and upset she must be feeling right now, the emotional pain in addition to the physical pain of being battered by a larger kid. Somebody taught Jayson how to fight. Not just kid playground stuff, but real dirty adult fighting. Even with Livy's strength and intensity during one of her attacks, she doesn't stand a chance against my ve

  • Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King   Chapter 212

    [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

  • Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King   Chapter 211

    [Hunter]My home is gone. My new family was taken. Debrassy crossed a line, and now, it’s time for me to cross a few myself. His family has taken enough from me and mine over the years, and its long overdue that I settle the score between us. Janey would advise caution. “He’s not worth your sanity,” she’d say. “You can take him down without losing yourself.” But Janey isn’t here anymore to say these things to me. Because of Desmond Debrassy, her grace, beauty, and wisdom was taken from the world far too soon. Just like my parents, and my grandparents. And now, after I opened my heart to someone new, allowed myself to love again, despite the risk, he’s taken that away from me too. Vanessa and our babies, Olivia, who looks more and more like her mother Janey everyday–they are my heart. Without them, all I have left is to be heartless.The doors slide open to the elevator. I enter my biometrics, letting the walls scan me from every angle, as I order it to descend, several floors be

    [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
