Mistaken Bride Of The Mafia CEO Sixty
KADE'S POVWithin the hour, I had my team out working on this. Security footage from Oakwood Cemetery. Traffic cameras on surrounding roads. All the tech at his disposal to locate a single shadowy figure of a man who’d given Raven a start.Raven and I sat in my office, waiting for reports to come in, and she hadn’t said much since we left the cemetery. Gazed at the wall, trying to absorb what she had witnessed."Boss." Javier entered with a tablet. "We got something."He pulled up security video from the entrance to the cemetery. The man with the long coat walked in with his head down, partially exposed. Javier zoomed in on his face.I heard Raven gasp. The resemblance was uncanny. Have the same bones as Arthur Statham. Same dark eyes. But older. Weathered."Keep going." I said.Javier scrolled through more footage. "He visits every week. Same day, same time. Spends about an hour there. Visits two graves. Arthur Statham's and Ethan Statham's.""For how long?" Raven asked quietly."Rec

RAVEN'S POVI couldn’t get Ethan out of my mind. During all my silent moments, I returned to the brother I didn’t know. My brother who died saving our dad when I was hiding in the closet. A boy I had been expunged from my mind.The next morning, very early, the day after my mother had twisted my frame of mind apart with her revelation, I rose and took myself to my study. Took out all of my boxes of old family photos I kept stashed. Pictures I hadn’t seen in years because they cut too deeply.Kade returned to find me, two hours later, in a nest of photographs."Raven." He knelt beside me. "What are you doing?""Looking for him." I showed the bakery a photo of my dad. “Surely there are photos of Ethan somewhere. Proof he existed.""You don't need proof." Kade said gently. "Your mother was honest with you.""I need to see him." My voice cracked. “I want to know what he looked like. What we looked like together."Kade sat next to me and assisted in going through the photos. Most of them w

KADE'S POVI stood in the doorway watching Raven square off with her mother. I’d gotten back from a meeting and saw Cameron’s text that Katherine had arrived. The harm had already been done by the time I got there."You had no right." Raven's voice shook. “No right to hide this from me for fifteen years.”Katherine sat in the rocking chair, but she looked even smaller than I remembered. “I was just trying to keep you safe.”"Protect me?" Raven laughed bitterly. “You made me feel I was on my own. You stole my brother from me twice.”“The doctors told us it would be better this way. Katherine's hands twisted. "You were so traumatized. When the memories receded, I used to think it was something for which to be grateful.”"A blessing." Raven repeated flatly.Behind Raven, I stepped into the room, near enough for support but not overt in any way. This was her pain. My only job was to keep her from falling."Tell me about him." Raven demanded. "Everything."Katherine's eyes filled with tear

RAVEN'S POVI sat in front of the ultrasound screen, looking at it, trying to work out what I was seeing. Two distinct shapes. Two flickering heartbeats beating ever so slightly out of rhythm. I couldn’t even wrap my head around it."I'm sorry, what?" More like I whispered my response.Dr. Chen smiled warmly. "See here? And here? Two separate gestational sacs. Two babies. You're having twins, Mrs. D'Angelo."Kade was motionless beside me. His hand squeezed mine with such force I thought my bones would warp. For a moment, nobody spoke. The only sound was the quick whoosh-whoosh of two little heartbeats.Then Kade started laughing. Not a polite chuckle or nervous, anxious laugh. An actual, what sounded like real laugh from deep in his chest. Pure, unfiltered joy. His head fell forward, and with it his shoulders shook."Twins." He said between laughs. "Of course it's twins."I stared at him like he was nuts. "You're laughing? Two babies and you laugh?”"I'm terrified." He admitted, still

KADE'S POVThe meeting dragged on. Some dispute between two of our own bonafide business outreach contract partners. I’d usually be listening, concerned about a detail or three. But today I couldn't focus. My thoughts kept returning to Raven, shopping for a dress with Cameron. Something felt off.My phone buzzed on the table. Cameron’s name appeared on the screen. I immediately dashed above, ignoring annoyed looks from the businessmen around me."Cameron, what...""It's Raven." Cameron’s voice was a chirp of panic. "She's bleeding. We’re going to the hospital right now. St. Mary's on Fourth."The world stopped. "How much bleeding?""I don't know. Enough that I'm scared. Kade, she’s just fallen down and there was blood everywhere and I don’t know what to do.”"Keep her calm. Keep her talking. I'm on my way." I was on my feet already, reaching for my jacket. "Which hospital?""St. Mary's. We're five minutes out.""I'll be there in ten." I hung up and glanced around the puzzled faces at

RAVEN'S POVThe morning sun poured in from the windows of Bird’s and Bread, setting the flour dust gyrating as zillions of diamond dancers. I wiped the counter down as Cameron sat at a small table, notebook open and bridal magazines fanning all over it.“Right, so late spring for the wedding.” Cameron flicked her pen against her lips. "That gives us four months. Being given adequate months but not too many.”I smiled at her enthusiasm. Three months had gone by since the trial, and Cameron was a changed man. The nightmares still visited her occasionally, but she was laughing once more. Living again. Eric had asked her two weeks ago, and now she focused all her wedding energy on planning mine."Late spring sounds perfect." I poured two cups of coffee and sat down across from her. “The baby will be showing by then, but not too much.”Cameron grinned. “You’re going to be the most beautiful pregnant bride who God ever created. Now, venue. Big and fancy, or intimate?""Intimate." I didn't h
