RAVEN'S POV

I witnessed through the window as Santiago cocked the gun at Kade’s head. My husband was motionless with the calmness of death. But I could feel the tension in his shoulders. How his hands had balled at his sides.

"Take them." I pushed Celine toward Jennifer, then lifted Ethan from his incubator and passed him to another nurse. "Keep them safe."

“Mrs. D’Angelo, what are you doing?” Jennifer tried to stop me.

"He can't die." My voice broke. "Kade can't be dying on account of me. Beca

    KADE'S POVI walked in the dark with Vincent behind me. We had been breaching through the service entrance using emergency access codes that only I knew existed. Codes my mother most certainly did not possess.The power cut, it was Vincent what put it out. From his surveillance setup, he had remote access to the building systems. All those years of watching had left him with nothing but control.I acted on memory and training. Knew this penthouse by heart in the darkness. Countless times practiced clearing it blind.There was a soundless thud: the first armed man fell. Vincent led him with an efficiency born of decades of working in the field. The second tried to lift up his weapon, but I was quicker. Took him out and onto the floor before he made a sound.That left only my mother.I could hear her breathing. Listen to her moving in the dark: trying to orient herself. Trying to understand what had gone wrong.The backup generator activated. Emergency lights bathed the hallway in dim r

  • Mistaken Bride Of The Mafia CEO   Ninety Nine

    RAVEN'S POVI was frozen in the hallway holding both babies while Kade’s mom pointed a gun at us. The woman who had sat with me in companionable silence. The woman whose shaking hands had held my children I thought could hardly function. The woman who had been deceiving us all for fifteen years."Put the babies down." Her voice was steady. Clear. Nothing like the mute invalid I thought I knew. “Put them down very gently, and step away from the panic room door.”“No.” The word escaped my mouth before it could be thought.She tightened her finger on the trigger. "I was not asking."Marcus kept his weapon drawn but began calculating angles. The two men next to her had stronger positions. Better lines of fire. If he fired, they would return fire and we were all in the kill zone."Why are you doing this?" I asked. Trying to buy time. Trying to understand. "These are your grandchildren."“They are proof of my son’s weakness.” She moved closer. Each step deliberate and controlled. “Kade was

    KADE'S POVVincent sped over to one of his computer screens, hands dancing skillfully with learned precision. "You need to see this. Right now."I crossed to where he stood. A surveillance video of my penthouse played on the screen. Multiple camera angles switching automatically. All of them from jobs I had never known existed. Cameras I had not installed.“Why do you have access to my security system?” I demanded. “They’re private feeds on encrypted channels.”“Because I’ve been watching you for thirty years. Vincent didn’t take his eyes off the screen. “I had to be sure you were safe. Which meant having eyes everywhere you called home. Every safe house. Every office. Everywhere."The video was of the living area of the penthouse. Raven walking around with Celine in her arms. Marcus arriving and sitting down. Normal security protocols being followed. Guards at their stations.Then the alarms started. Red lights flashing. People moving with trained urgency."Someone breached your peri

  • Mistaken Bride Of The Mafia CEO   Ninety Seven

    RAVEN'S POVThree hours went by with no word from Kade other than that short phone call saying he was safe. Three hours that seemed to drag like three days. I paced the penthouse with Celine in my arms for three hours while Ethan slept blissfully in his bassinet completely oblivious that just now his father learned that all his life was built on lies.I could not sit still. I could focus on nothing except the city lights outside the window and a phone in my pocket that would not ring. That image from the security footage kept coming back to my mind. That man in the car, waving that sign. Vincent Statham. Officially dead for thirty years. In family parlance, my uncle. Kade’s biological father, at least according to claims I had no way of verifying yet.Too many supposedlys. So many revelations piled upon each other, I couldn’t tell which was real anymore.Summer had gone an hour earlier to coordinate extra security sweeps of the building. Javier had sent a team to check perimeter defen

  • Mistaken Bride Of The Mafia CEO   Ninety Six

    KADE'S POVAnd I sat behind the sedan next to a man who was supposed to be dead and tried to process what I was seeing.Vincent Statham seemed older than the photographs I had seen in Summer’s files. Gray hair when there had been brown. Deep lines shadowed his eyes and mouth. But his posture was straight. Military. And his eyes were sharp and cold and staring at me with an intensity that started every instinct I had screaming warnings."You should not be here." I said. I kept my hand on the door handle. “You’re dead you are supposed to be dead.’l”“I was going to do many things. His voice was rough. Decades of cigarettes and whiskey. "Dead. Retired. Forgotten. But here I am. And you need to listen to what I have to say.”"The sign said son." I looked at him directly. "Why would you call me that?""Because it is true." He took his time reaching into his jacket. Pulled out a folder. "I am your biological father. Not Dimitri. Not Arthur. Me."I grabbed the folder but have not opened it.

  • Mistaken Bride Of The Mafia CEO   Ninety Five

    RAVEN'S POVFrom the security monitors in his office I watched Kade go. The screens displayed different angles of the building entrance. Cameras that covered every approach. Systems meant to protect us.He stepped out into the night air, smaller than I had ever seen him. His shoulders were tight. His movements were slow. Like he was bearing weight that was finally getting heavy.Then he stopped.I inched toward the monitor. Saw him look at something just out of the camera’s main field of vision."What is he looking at?" Javier got up and came to stand next to me. His hand was poised over his phone in preparation to call security.The angle of the camera shifted, sporting an automated tracking as Kade moved. A black sedan came into view. In a parking spot at the curb with its engine running. Tinted windows. No plates from this angle.The back door opened.“No.” The word slipped out before I could stop it. “Do not get in that car, Kade.”But he could not hear me. I was three stories abo
