LOGIN“Check it already,” My patience and time were too thin to wait for anything.Time passed slowly. Finally, after one minute, his voice came through the speaker, “Boss. The boys didn’t see any helicopter.”“Are you sure?” I pressed.“Yes,” He answered, “There is no such activity in the air for days here.”“Call me if you see any,” I ordered and ended the call. Jeremy said the helicopter had left for the north region. Now, the contact from the north said there had been no such activity. Could it be they have changed the direction? Of course they did. There was no other explanation. The region was too vast to change direction. And they dared to take My Wife with them? My blood boiled again!Just then I remembered I had put a tracker in her phone. Immediately, I opened the tracking app in my phone. It took barely ten seconds before I saw her phone’s location, but the frown on my face deepened seeing her location was coming from around me. She had dropped her phone here somewhere.I walked
Raven Blackwood’s POV:After Valerie left, I spent all my time with Reign, while playing with her, talking with her, read her stories from the storybooks Valerie had bought for her. I knew it was still early, but Valerie couldn’t find more topics to talk to her, so she bought these books, and it helped her talk to Reign more by reading these stories.Some seconds passed when my phone rang. I glanced at the screen and saw it was from My Wife. For a moment, something felt wrong. She had just left one and a half hours ago. She wouldn’t call me unless something was wrong! I picked it up immediately, “Hello.”But then I heard a noise. Loud and chaotic, followed by gunshots. My heart dropped instantly. Then came her voice, it was shaky, “Raven… It’s… It’s… a trap…”A chill went down my spine, and the grip on my phone tightened. I didn’t speak for a second as the storm in my mind roared. “I am coming,” I said firmly. I had to go to her immediately. She needed me. My Wife needed me. “Stay on
He did? Indeed, he did. But I couldn’t. My body trembled. Only his grip was securely holding me in my place. “Wife,” He pulled me in his embrace. “Shh. Everything is fine.” He slowly rubbed my back to calm me, “He is not here because it’s not his time yet. I promise, he will be back.”I knew what Raven was talking about. Having a second child. “Will it be him?” I couldn’t help but ask.He nodded, “Yes. He was your child. He will be back as your child.”Hearing his words, I just cried harder.It was by midnight, Reign had already fallen asleep in her crib beside our bed, and I lay in Raven’s arms quietly. He hadn’t spoken much, and I didn’t say anything either.The next morning…I got ready to go to the meeting near the sea first. Eliot and Jeremy were already here. As I took a step to walk out of the bedroom, I saw Raven was casually leaning against the door in his dark grey pyjamas, which matched his grey eyes, watching me quietly.I swallowed my breath and stopped in my tracks.“Rea
Earlier that day:Valerie Thorne’s POV:After getting multiple calls from Elara, I finally focused on the report files. The more I read them, the more I knew I had to personally visit certain people, both at sea and grounds. The work was being delayed, followed by some excuses and some casualties. They even mentioned that some people wanted to join other groups. I needed to meet them personally. But Raven was still not here, and I couldn’t bring Reign with me to certain places.Still, I made some calls to Eliot, telling him to manage them for as long as he could.After I was done, I made some more plans to deal with them and several other matters.From time to time, I talked to Reign. She was being cheerful lately, enjoying her company, rather than depending on me, even though she was just almost five months old.Taking a good look at the weather, which was not hot, not cold, just perfect for spending the day out, I decided to work under the shade of a tree today.As Reign lay in her
“Answer what he asked,” One of the burly men pressed against his shoulders.His body shook at the burly man’s touch, and he crawled to my side, “I am sorry. I shouldn’t have done that. I just wanted to scare them.”I didn’t interrupt as he cried.“I just… I just wanted them to scare them. I didn’t know those people would escalate that much,” He continued.“You didn’t know?” My brows raised.He shook his head, “I didn’t… I am telling the truth. If I knew… If I knew, I wouldn’t have done this.”“Do you realise how many people died that night?” I asked a moment later.He lowered his face for a moment as he answered, “I am sorry.”“What does your sorry do now?” I roared. For one second, I could believe he was innocent. Apparently, he was, from the way he was behaving right now. It didn’t look like he was lying. Either there was a bigger play behind the scenes, or he was a good actor. But it didn’t matter anymore. What was done had already been done. Nothing could be reversed now.He didn’
The night was heavy. When we finally left the cruise, it was already morning. By the time we reached a safe place, I had lost too much blood. The last memory before closing my eyes was seeing Drake for two seconds. His figure was blurry, but I knew he was there.When I regained consciousness, twenty-eight hours had passed. The smell of antiseptic filled my senses as I slowly opened my eyes. White walls. Plenty of machines were surrounding my body. I glanced out of the window and blinked a few times to clear my vision.A few minutes passed before I noticed two nurses entering my room. They took the reading first without saying a word or change of expression, seeing I was awake. After they were done, they walked out.A moment later, one of the nurses entered the room again, and this time she had an elderly-looking doctor by her side. I didn’t hear what she said clearly, but the doctor frowned deeper.He slowly nodded at her and walked to my side, “How are you feeling now?”“It’s alright
“Yes, Wife?” He asked calmly.“I don’t like anything you’re doing. Either you stop doing it, or I will run to another country, and I will make sure you won’t ever be able to find me again,” I threatened. I seriously felt suffocated by everything he was doing, and this couldn't just go on.“Fine,” H
I walked to the bookshelf first and started looking through each book and file there. Slowly, I looked through everything I could see, but I found nothing there, which was a good thing. I sighed in relief.After the bookshelf, I moved to the table, paintings, cabinets, and then everything. Everythi
Valerie Thorne’s POV:I woke up before sunrise today. Not because of a bad dream, not because of anything else, but because of a presence I felt.His arm was around my waist, which made me feel hard to breathe. I stayed still for a while, just looking at the ceiling. The room was quiet.I turned my
“It could be anyone else who entered your office while you were both absent. And Elvis looked troubled earlier, so… let’s not trouble him further.” Raven tried to reason.I thought about his words for a while before I nodded. “Fine. You can proceed with what you want.” If someone had really bugged
