Footsteps thudded behind us as we ran down the hallway, the men that had heard the shot go off chased behind us. Luckily, they didn't shoot, clearly under orders to bring us back unharmed. It had me thinking of who it could be behind all of this? And what could they possibly achieve from keeping us alive? Surely they weren't going to use us against Julian?I glanced back over my shoulder and picked up the pace, going as fast as I could with a dress on as I realized how close they were getting.The closer we got to the stairs, the louder the sounds of gunshots became.It was definitely a battlefield down there, and running onto it, barely armed and protected would disrupt the balance and make us loose all our chances at possible survival."Amrita What are you doing?!"I heard Edward call out from a corridor we had just passed before the men behind us were shot down. We stopped, quickly running in the direction of Edward's voice. He had splatters of blood all over his clothes and some had a
The sounds of gunshots increased as Edward kept us behind the doors. His men gathered around us, ready to dive into danger if need be."I've barricaded the basement door."A new figure appearing from one of the guarded gateways, unannounced. But since none of the men surrounding us raised their guns to him, we knew he wasn't a threat for us."How long do you think it can hold them back?"The man shrugged at one of his companions query."I'm not sure, its a metal door though so I think we can rest easy for a while." he answered.I turned to Edward and found him glaring outside the window. His eyebrows were furrowed as he frowned at all the people outside."What are they doing?!"His sudden shout drew all our attention to him as he reloaded his gun."Change of plans, get to the closest safe room you can find and hide. Things aren't looking too good out there."I gulped at his words, trying to peer out of the window but he blocked my line of sight."Julian is out there." I said."I'm well aware of
"I love you, I love you, I love you, I~"Julian chuckled as I kissed all over his face as a silent thank you, while confessing my undying love to him."That contradicts your earlier statement love."Julian said."What earlier statement? Your ears must be ringing." I replied.I responded a bit too quickly, tying the knot on his bandages tightly. He winced before pulling his shirt on and rotating his shoulder to test the movement of his arm."Thank you, love." Julian said.I beamed at him before sitting down beside him, his wound was well healed but I kept it covered as precaution. I can't believe it had only been 7 hours since I hugged my parents after 10 whole years!It was approaching mid night, during the rest of the day we had moved to another safe house, I was in the same car as my parents after Julian reluctantly let Donna drag him away. It was a full on tear fest that we sat through, my father was the most shaken one. He apologized so many times for letting me leave on my own, going as
A month later:"So how was it?" I asked.Me and Donna were seated at the couch, watching a new k-drama and fawning over the beautiful people together, while my husband, brother-in-law, father and mother went to interrogate their captive. From what Julian had clarified for me, the man was his fathers right hand, someone his father had entrusted a lot to.There was some tension between Julian and Edward, it had confused me at the beginning but then I had learned that it was because that man had been the father figure in their life. Someone who had, in a sense taken up the role of leading male for them."What do you all want to eat?" I asked.We couldn't order anything since the location of the safe house had to be kept secret and that was depressing. There was a bit of complaining at the beginning but then we just settled for cooking for the employed people of our little group.I smiled at them as my father and Julian talked about something which seemed too intense for me to keep up with and
5 Years later:"Mom!"I smiled as my four year old son came running down the stairs."Don't run young man." I said. Julian got to him before I could and lifted him into the air as he laughed wildly. Julian wore a huge smile on his face as he kissed Amlian's head and put him back down. Amlian ignored the warning and ran to me instead.I giggled as he hugged me gently before pressing a kiss to my stomach. It was quite a shock to him when he realized that he was going to be an older brother and a definitely difficult task for Julian to explain to him how I wasn't a child eating monster while I cried in the corner.Sighing, Julian took off his coat and hung it on the rack before placing a kiss on my cheek and gently caressing my stomach. Both the males in my family- scratch that- all the males in my family had a weird infatuation with the baby growing inside of me.I was only three weeks into the pregnancy so it didn't show however Julian was even more protective of me this time than he w
"I think he's gay."Dad whispered to me, loud enough for all of us to hear. We laughed as Edward glared at us."No, I'm too busy with work to care about some stupid female." he replied.I 'awed' in disappointment and he turned his head away. Julian looked at him and sighed."Edward actually likes someone."Julian said.Everyone went quiet as Julian announced that and Edward stared at him with wide eyes. As if silently pleading for him to shut up."But she's taken." Julian said.We gave him depressed looks as he face palmed and glared at Julian, who curtly directed his attention away from his scowling brother."uhm uhm, may I have everyone's attention please?"Amlian spoke up, standing straight like a host would and turning around as all of us quieted down. Once the only sound in the room was of us breathing he followed with a quick 'thank you' and turned around, gesturing for someone to come out.I watched quietly as Ellen stepped out from behind the wall, her eyes were drawn to the floor as
Amrita's current age: 28Julian's current age: 32Edwards current age: 30Amlian's current age: 8Nick (2nd child) current age: 4Adriana (3rd child) current age: 1Ellen(Donna's adopted daughter) age: 8"Hey baby."Edward cooed, lifting my daughter out of her cot. Her hands were fisted as she thrashed happily, arms and legs flailing, the hood of her pink bunny onesie falling down to reveal her grin. Edward cooed in adoration as she squealed at him, kicking in excitement as he held her from under the arms. Her raven hair swaying a little and green eyes looking around while thrashing before turning her attention back to her uncle.Nick and Amlian were occupied trying to sneak into Julian's study, to see all the 'cool' work their father did. Edward had mistakenly leaked their occupation and ever since then the two chipmunks had been following their father everywhere. Amlian had gone as far as to suggest that his occupation was the reason Julian dressed so cool.I heard the pitter patter
"They definitely picked up on your habit of sneaking around."I squealed in surprise, slamming the file shut in the process and whipping around to my amused looking husband."I promise, It's not what it looks like."Copying Amlian's words, I sighed as he pulled me into a kiss in response. The kiss slowly heated up, forcing me to pull back for air, placing my forehead against his as I pecked his lips a few more times."Okay. I might've been sneaking around a little."He chuckled, standing up and lending me his hand before pulling me up alongside himself."Nothing to worry about love, besides, this isn't your first time in here."I gasped and my face colored as I remembered sneaking into his study a few months back and turning around to find him sitting on his seat, giving me an amused look... He didn't get much work done that night as he had followed my embarrassed self straight to the bedroom... nor did he get much sleep..."Y-yeah, did you see the boys?"He hummed, an alluring mischievo
