Chapter 33: The Ride Back Home

XENOIS

The bulletproof car that Dmitri had brought to Murphy's restaurant on my request felt like it was a fortress on wheels, but even with its bullet proof steel and tinted windows, that could withstand bullets and bombs being thrown at it, I couldn't shake the feeling that we were still vulnerable, open somehow.

Every shadow that we passed and every car that followed us for more than a block, made my muscles tense up like I was expecting another attack on my family.

Celeste sat by my left side, pressed to my body. Whatever distance she was trying to put between us earlier seemed to have forgotten with this development that we were currently facing, her body was rigid with what I had recognized as leftover terror while the boys were squeezed between us in the backseat.

They were trying to be brave, but I could feel the way they kept checking the windows, the way their small hands gripped my shirt whenever we stopped at a red light.

    Chapter 34: Unleashed FuryXENOISI smashed the desk chair, sending stuffing flying across the room in my rage.I also destroyed a filing cabinet, papers were scattering everywhere as I continued my rampage. Each hit I swung felt like a small release of the rage that had been building inside me since I'd gotten Lake's terrified phone call.They had tried to kill my family. My wife. My children. The people who meant everything to me in this world. They had tried to take them out of the equation, to break me.I brought the poker down on a decorative vase, and it shattered into ceramic shards that scattered across the floor like confetti. The sound was satisfying, but it wasn't enough. Nothing would be enough until I found the people responsible for this attempted murder on my family and made them pay for what they'd tried to do."They almost killed them," I said, my voice was filled with raw emotion as I continued to destroy everything within reach. "My boys, Dmitri. My wife. They pu

    Chapter 32: A Failed Attack Of course it was. The attackers were professional enough to use a stolen vehicle so it wouldn't be traced back to them, and were well organized enough to coordinate a public attack, but sloppy enough to flee when the police arrived, and abandoned the car. All this showed that they were people who were experienced but not necessarily at the top of their field."Detective Martinez," Celeste said, her voice still shaky as she took a deep breath and exhaled but stronger than it had been, "there's something else you should know.""What's that, Mrs. Kingston?""My car. Something's wrong with it."I felt a chill run down my spine as I looked at her properly as she was still in my arms. "What do you mean?""When I went to use the restroom at the restaurant, I could see the parking lot from the window. I saw one of the men near my car, and he seemed to be checking and shouting at each other, that why didn't it work. Wasn't it attached properly to it. That's when I

    Chapter 31: ERRATIC FEARXENOIS The drive to Murphy's Restaurant was the longest fifteen minutes of my life. Every red light I encountered, made me want to scream and each car in front of me gave the urge to ram through it and keep moving.My hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly my knuckles had gone white, and I could feel my heart beating against my ribs with a rhythm that were matching the sirens I could hear as I was getting closer to the restaurant.Lake's voice through the phone had been filled with terror, that no five year old should ever imagine. The sound of gunshots in the background, the screaming, the chaos , it all replayed back in my head like it was on repeat.I'd called Dmitri immediately after hanging up with the boys, and I could hear him over the phone as he was mobilizing our people even as I drove. But this wasn't something that could be handled quietly in the shadows, where the cops would have no idea this even happened when we got rid of our enemies. Thi

    Chapter 30: Under FireSORENTroy had his tablet out and was typing frantically on the keypad as he was texting someone. I looked at the screen and saw he was sending another message to Dad: They're here. The men from the car. They're looking for us. We're hiding under the table.My heart was pounding so hard I was sure everyone in the restaurant could hear it. But I kept on a neutral face, because I didn't want to scare my siblings yet.Where was Mom? Why hasn't she come back yet?That's when I heard the first gunshot.The sound was so loud, and it was so unexpected, that for a moment I couldn't understand what it was. Then the front windows of the restaurant shattered as, glass were raining down like confetti, and people started screaming, and running away."Get down!" I shouted, throwing myself over Lake as more shots could be heard repeatedly. The sound was loud enough to deafen someone, and I could hear people crying and shouting, chairs being dragged on the ground as everyone tr

  • My Contracted Husband, The Heartless CEO has Amnesia?!   Chapter 29

    Chapter 29: Triplets Intuition SORENThe car ride home from school today felt very different than usual. Mom was very quiet today, and it wasn't the comfortable kind of quiet we sometimes had when we were all thinking about our own things and didn't need to talk about anything in particular, but the kind that made the air feel heavy. I kept glancing at her in the rearview mirror, trying to figure out what was wrong because Mom wasn't happy at all with Dad today and Dad looked confused as well which meant that he has no idea what made Mom mad .Lake and Troy were obviously thinking the same thing because they were both typing furiously on their tablets, it was a way of having conversations without being overheard by our mum especially when it was about things that we didn't want her to know.I pulled mine out and opened our private group chat that we'd set up last year when we realized that sometimes we needed to talk about grown-up things without the grown-ups hearing.Troy: Mom's
