Maya's pov

It's been a week since I saw Cassian, he has not attempted to contact me and it's driving me insane. Who pulls me onto his lap kisses me and then disappears?

I clutch my phone tightly contemplating whether to call him, but I can't. I can't be the first to make contact, I won't stoop that low after he allowed me to wait for him this long.

My phone dings and I jump thinking it's Cassian but it's just another text from Holden saying he misses me. Apparently, he has also been haywire and due to my leg injury we haven't repeated the mistake we did last time —not that I might regret it right now.

I also type another corny I miss you too stopping myself from asking about Cassian. He made him a no-go zone.

I stretch on the couch looking at the stupid comedy show doing a lousy down in cheering me up. I grab the remote from the table, tap the power off button and throw it back on the table.

A knock has me groaning. “Who is it?” I ask my voice echoing inside the house. I am not in the

    Maya's pov Three years later I balance my bag of groceries and my work bag in my hands closing the car door with my leg and walking to the house. An unfamiliar car is parked at the entrance and my brows furrow. Who does that belong to? I unlock the door and Mia's giggle echoes in the room. “I'm home,” I announce walking towards the kitchen where I can hear two male voices. “Mum,” Mia screams running into my arms. I lift her twirling her around. “How was your day?” I ask taking a strand of her hair from her face. “Good, Daddy's brother is here,” she says pointing to Holden who leans on the door his gaze boring into mine. “Hi Mommy,” he says making a chill run down my spine. I put her down and she ran back to the kitchen where I assumed Leo was busy entertaining her with his dry jokes. He steps closer pulling me in his arms. His scent envelopes me and my breath hitches. “I've missed you,” he whispers in my ear. I clear my throat getting away from his grasp. “Me too.” “Where h

    Maya's pov I watch from the window my father talking to Cassian who listens attentively and answers on occasion. I rub my belly not believing he is here. I thought I would never see him again. “Did you know he was coming?” I ask Leo who only shakes his head vigorously. He tends to keep things from me and I don't like it. “I promise,” he says when I squint my eyes at him. I huff looking forward and they hug. “Fuck,” I curse. They enter and I pull him in my arms again. “Can we talk?” I ask holding his bicep. We have so much to talk about and honestly, I have so much to tell him. He nods placing a kiss on my forehead. I bring him to my room avoiding the curious gazes of my mother. We sit on the edge of the bed and he rubs my belly. “How far?” “Five months and two weeks.” He smiles lifting my shirt to touch my baby bump. “Then why is it so big?” He asks making me cackle. “Uh, the baby must be fat.” He places his lips on it and I weave my fingers into his hair. “I didn't know

    Cassian's pov I take the burban drink I was holding to my lips my mind plaqued with millions of thoughts. I don't want to change my face, but the nasty cut that runs through it makes me look like a monster, not that I am not and I'm a wanted fugitive. In my mind, this is not how things were supposed to work out, now that Maya's pregnant, my mum is alive. There's more reason to go through with this. “Ugh,” I groan massaging my temples. A presence behind me draws me out of my thoughts. “You must be Cassian,” the old man who I presume is James says. I shake his warm hand. “And you must be the man that kept my mother to himself.” He chuckles looking at the vast expanse of land filled with Marijuana. You would think my mother had enough of the mafia and then she goes ahead to marry an Italian Mob boss. But at least he treats her better. “She's gold, and I don't let go of precious things.” He says that as a joke but I can tell he is very serious. “All that matters is she's happy.” “

    Cassian's povI place the phone on my chest wishing I had talked to her more but that involves me getting caught and her inquiring about how I am.The bed cuts through my skin but two months of this has toughened me up a bit. I thought I knew suffering but my time here only showed me what I had gone through was a teardrop in an ocean. The cold bits on my skin and my face is still sore from the earlier injury, but it's fine since it stopped bleeding. I close my eyes imagining Maya stitch me up and suddenly I feel worse.“I need to find a way out of here,” I whisper my chest tightening.I look at my phone hoping Victor will call but two hours later still nothing. I need to get out of here and I'm not going to work for someone who is in the cartel.I'm done with that life and nobody will convince me otherwise.The guards' warning about coming in about thirty minutes floods my mind. Shit. I turn again and speak of the devil he appears by the door.“What did you decide?” He asks his face s

    Maya's povLeo excuses himself to go take a shower and I find this an opportune time to check through his phone and know who he has been calling. Every time I ask who he is calling he dodges the question and somehow I think he knows where Cassian is or he is calling him.I rub my stomach climbing the stairs the creaking sounds annoying me. I find the door to his room open and his dirty clothes sitting on the bed. I tiptoe inside my heart pounding. I check his pockets and I find the burner phone and check the last number he called. I copy it to my phone returning the phone and running down the stairs.“Are you hungry?” Mum asks already serving the food.My stomach growls and I walk towards the dining table. Pregnancy hormones have been awful and I'm sure I've added more than forty pounds and I can barely work for long hours from how much my feet are swelling.I sip the soup the chicken flavor calming me. I look up and Mum's tired eyes find mine. “What?”“Are you ready to tell me who th

    Cassian's povTwo months laterI find a corner where guards aren't constantly patrolling and taking out my phone from my shoes innersole. I touch my chest as I dial Leo's line not holding my breath for him to answer.“Cassian,” he says and I sigh in relief.“What took you so long to answer?” I ask looking around the compound, I only have a few minutes before we are hauled back to our cells.“Had to get away from Maya,” he mumbles and my heart limps by the mention of her name.“How is she?”He sighs. “She's fine, but she talks about you a lot, I can just give her the phone,” he says and I bite down on my lip.“No, I can't have her hopes rising when I haven't come up with a way to get out of here.”“How is that going?” I scratch the back of my head. “I think this is Don Celestine's work because I haven't been given a trial and no one has come to talk to me.”“God, what can I do? I can find some few people and come break you out,” he suggests.I shake my head, hearing the siren sound. “
