The silence that descended upon Tom Hardy’s suite was broken only by the ragged breathing of the survivors and the faint, persistent whoosh of the ocean outside. The climax had passed, leaving behind a scene of utter destruction: expensive furniture overturned, the General's desk shattered, and the two enemy guards neutralized.

Nia was the first to move, pulling herself away from her children's tight embrace. She rushed to Ice, who lay motionless on the marble floor, a spreading crimson stain darkening his side.

"Marcus, check Ice!" she ordered, her voice sharp with adrenaline and fear.

Marcus, the scarred guard, was already there, kneeling beside his friend. He tore away the blood-soaked tactical gear, revealing the wound. "It's bad, but it missed the spine and the major organs. He's lost a lot of blood. He needs immediate medical attention, Frank!"

Frank, who had been covering the unconscious Vicky, immediately called their backup team on the specialized, untraceable comms frequency

  • Hiding the twins from their billionaire father.    We haven't won yet

    Chapter Twenty-Four: The First StoneThree weeks later, the chaos of the naval depot felt like a distant nightmare, though the physical and emotional scars remained vivid. Tom Hardy and Vicky were locked away in high-security isolation, facing an avalanche of charges ranging from kidnapping and attempted murder to treason. Frank and Marcus, with the quiet support of Mr. Cage's top legal team, were busy laundering their own records, turning them from former mercenaries into highly effective, newly contracted members of Cage Enterprise Security.The most difficult adjustment, however, was internal.Mr. Cage sat at the head of the impossibly long dining room table in his mansion, trying to focus on his morning coffee. Nia sat across from him, looking radiant but exhausted, attempting to coax Mira into eating a piece of fruit. Destiny and Stanley were already engaged in a low-volume argument about a construction set, an argument Mr. Cage now listened to with a terrifyingly sharp sense of

  • Hiding the twins from their billionaire father.    The final show down

    The collision of Mr. Cage’s chair with the General's desk sent a torrent of papers, pens, and the heavy letter opener scattering across the room. Tom Hardy shrieked in frustration, spinning his wheelchair wildly as he tried to evade the sudden, chaotic surge of the freed captives.Nia didn't hesitate. Her survival instinct, honed by years of struggle, took over. Her first priority was the children. She sprinted across the room toward the terrified trio huddled near the sofa. Destiny, ever protective, had Mira and Stanley pressed tightly against him."Mommy!" Destiny sobbed, throwing himself into Nia's arms."We have to go!" Nia grabbed Mira with one hand and Stanley with the other. "Stay low! Follow me!"Meanwhile, Mr. Cage, despite the remaining restraints on his wrists, was fully engaged. He scrambled to his feet, pulling a heavy desk lamp from the toppling desk. He swung it wildly, connecting with the head of the medical assistant who had just rushed in, dropping the man before he

  • Hiding the twins from their billionaire father.    Just the beginning of the end

    The black transport van, now repurposed as a vehicle of salvation, tore through the coastal night toward the old military installation marked on Frank’s tablet. Inside, the intensity of the situation was etched onto every face. Frank and Marcus, the scarred guard, worked swiftly, preparing their passengers for the ultimate infiltration.Mr. Cage was running purely on adrenaline and the devastating truth Nia had revealed. The shock of learning he was the father of Stanley and Mira had stripped away his ego, leaving him raw and focused. He was a man reborn, but his rebirth was baptized in blood and guilt."The uniform," Mr. Cage muttered, accepting the black tactical shirt Marcus handed him. "Hardy expects us to be prisoners.""He expects us to be captured prisoners, Mr. Cage," Frank corrected, securing a heavy vest over his own chest. "The difference is subtle. You and Nia will walk in restrained, but you will be wearing your own clothes underneath Hardy's men’s uniforms. When the time

  • Hiding the twins from their billionaire father.    Back fire

    Chapter NineteenThe air in Tom Hardy’s mansion tasted of ozone and plaster dust. Nia and Mr. Cage scrambled down the back staircase, their movements clumsy in the pitch black. Mr. Cage was still partially cuffed, his right wrist free, but his left hand still shackled to the heavy metal chair, which he dragged and kicked against the stone steps."My car is parked five blocks west," Mr. Cage whispered, pulling Nia's arm. "We need to get out the back entrance before those guards secure the perimeter.""He knew we were coming, Cage," Nia countered, her eyes darting through the gloom. "He'll have the back exit covered too. We need to split up and create a distraction.""No splitting up!" he snapped, the fear for their children overriding his usual bravado. "We stick together. We find the kids. That's the priority."They burst through the heavy kitchen door and into the manicured garden, the sounds of shouting guards and blaring alarms fading slightly behind them. As they sprinted toward t

    "Where is he?" Arrow roared, struggling to his feet after the impact of the taxi rammed into his men. The air was thick with the scent of burning rubber and spilled oil. Two of his men were groaning on the asphalt, but the remaining three were quickly recovering, their weapons aimed at the lone figure standing over the terrified children.Ice didn't flinch. His knife was poised, reflecting the stark, fluorescent lights of the parking garage. The children, Destiny, Stanley, and Mira, were scrambling toward the main entrance, fueled by adrenaline and Stanley’s shouted code."You won't touch them," Ice growled, his body a rigid shield. He knew he couldn't win a sustained fight against three armed men, but he had to buy them time.Arrow sneered. "Such loyalty for a dead man's kid. A shame. It ends now, Ice."Just as the command to fire was forming on Arrow's lips, a high-pitched, insistent siren pierced the night. A black, unmarked SUV skidded into the garage entrance, tires squealing.
