My Runaway Mafia Groom Wants Me Back Chapter 39 Into the Water
(Emmeline) The sound of Jackson hitting the water cuts through me like a blade.Every maternal instinct I've ever had explodes into pure terror as I see my baby disappear over the yacht's railing."Jackson!" I scream.Elias is bleeding behind the sofa, trying to return fire with his good arm.Glass crunches under my feet as I scramble toward the door where Jackson went over, but one of Signora Vescari's men blocks my path."Nobody moves!" he shouts, swinging his gun toward me.I don't think. I don't hesitate. I grab a heavy crystal ashtray from the side table and hurl it at his head with all the fury of a mother whose child is drowning.He staggers, and I run.The yacht's deck is slick with spray, and I nearly slip as I reach the railing.Below me, the dark water churns white in the yacht's wake, and I can barely make out two figures struggling in the distance.Asher has Jackson.I can see them both, but they're getting farther away as the yacht continues to speed through the water.
My Runaway Mafia Groom Wants Me Back Chapter 38 Betrayal
(Asher)The yacht's engines roar louder as we cut through the dark water, and I can feel my carefully constructed plan crumbling around me.Signora Vescari's smug confidence tells me everything I need to know.She has someone on the inside of my operation, who’s been feeding her all the intel she needs."You seem surprised, Mr. Giordano," she says, settling back in her chair like she's hosting a dinner party instead of orchestrating our murders."Did you really think you were too special to be double-crossed?"My mind races through the possibilities.Bruce wouldn't betray me. He's too loyal and too simple to pull off that kind of deception.Elias could have been compromised, but his communications went dark too suddenly.The only other person who knows everything about my business is..."Carlos," I breathe, the realization hitting me like a physical blow. My best friend."Very good. Though it took you longer than I expected." Signora Vescari nods approvingly."Carlos has been very hel
My Runaway Mafia Groom Wants Me Back Chapter 37 On the Water
(Emmeline) We lost contact with Bruce several minutes ago."Remember the plan," Asher says quietly beside me. "We get close, assess the situation, then signal the others."But all I can think about is Jackson.My baby is on that floating fortress, scared and alone, and every instinct I have is screaming at me to tear the place apart until I find him.Jackson is standing near the front of the yacht, his small hand gripping the railing. Even from this distance, I can see how terrified he is."Jackson," I breathe.Almost immediately, we're met by two guards who help us aboard. Keeping their guns trained on us the entire time.We're escorted across the deck, and I have to fight every maternal instinct I have not to run toward the bow where Jackson is standing.He sees me and his face lights up with hope and terror."Mommy!" he calls out, taking a step forward."Stay where you are, bambino," comes a cold voice from behind him.I turn to see Signora Vescari emerge from the yacht's interior
My Runaway Mafia Groom Wants Me Back Chapter 36 The Plan
(Asher)The warehouse feels like a tomb after Elias leaves.Emmeline sits motionless at the table, staring at the photos of Jackson.I pace the perimeter, trying to think of a way out of this nightmare that doesn't end with my son's body floating in the harbor.Just as we’re getting ready to leave for another safe-house, there’s a knock.Elias walks back in, his face grim but determined."I thought I told you to get lost," I snarl."You did. But I'm not going anywhere."I spin to face him, my hand instinctively moving to my gun. "Want to rethink that?""Asher, don't," Emmeline says quietly. "Let him talk.""He's had his chance to talk. All he's done is lie.""You have every right to put a bullet in me. But Jackson is still out there, and like it or not, you need federal backup if you want to get him back alive.""I don't need anything from you.""Yes, you do."He pulls out his phone, showing me a screen full of text messages."My handler has been monitoring Vescari communications.

(Emmeline) Jackson's scared voice keeps replaying in my mind. I'm scared, Mommy."Emmeline, you need to sit down," Elias says from his chair, his face still pale but his voice steady. "Wearing a groove in the concrete won't help Jackson.""Don't tell me what will help my son," I snap, whirling to face him.I grab my jacket again, heading for the door, but Asher moves faster than I expect.His hand closes around my wrist, gentle but firm."Where exactly do you think you're going?" he asks."To find him.""Where? The Vescari own half of New York. They could have him anywhere.""Then I'll search all of New York!""And get yourself killed in the process."His dark eyes are intense, desperate. "That won't help Jackson either."I try to pull away, but he won't let go. "Let me go, Asher.""Not until you listen to reason.""Reason?" I laugh, but there's no humor in it."They have my baby. There is no reason anymore.""There has to be. Because if we go in blind, we'll all die. Including Jacks
My Runaway Mafia Groom Wants Me Back Chapter 34 Safe House
(Emmeline) The safe house is a nondescript warehouse in Queens.The kind of place that looks abandoned from the outside but hides a fortress within.Bruce leads us through a maze of shipping containers to a hidden entrance, where steel doors slide open to reveal a surprisingly well-appointed space.Medical supplies. Communications equipment. Enough weapons to arm a small militia."Home sweet home," Asher mutters, but his eyes are scanning the perimeter, still on high alert.I clutch my purse with the evidence files against my chest like a lifeline.These documents are proof of everything.The Vescari family's crimes, their frame-job of Sebastian, the murder of my father.Even so, they’re not worth Caterina’s life.Elias gets up, “Let’s see what are on those...” He grabs the back of a chair to stay upright."Elias, sit down. You're going to pass out.""I'm fine-""You're not fine. You're bleeding through your bandage and you can barely stand."I guide him to a chair, my hands gentle b
