(Emmeline)

I pull the thin blanket closer around my shoulders, still shivering despite the warm IV fluids coursing through my veins.

My hair is finally dry, but I can still taste salt water every time I swallow.

Jackson is asleep in the pediatric ward, exhausted from being everyone's hero.

The doctors say he's fine. Better than fine, actually.

Apparently, four-year-olds bounce back from near-drowning experiences with the resilience of rubber balls.

He's already asking when we can go swimming again.

Elias is two rooms down, recovering from his gunshot wound. The bullet missed anything vital, thank God, but he lost a lot of blood.

Asher is sitting in the chair beside my bed, wearing hospital scrubs because his clothes were ruined in the water.

He hasn't left my side since they brought us in six hours ago.

Every time I drift off, I wake to find him watching me with those dark eyes, like he's afraid I'll disappear if he looks away.

"You should get some rest," I tell him softly.

  • My Runaway Mafia Groom Wants Me Back   Chapter 42 The Hunt

    (Asher)The FBI tactical room boasts a heady mix of stale caffeine and people pretending they’ve got things under control.Agent Morrison spreads surveillance photos across the metal table like he's dealing cards in a game where the stakes are human lives.His methodical approach is making my teeth ache."The warehouse district has seventeen possible locations," he drones, pointing to red circles on the map."We need to establish perimeters, coordinate with local law enforcement, and-""While you're establishing perimeters, they're torturing Elias," I interrupt.Morrison's jaw tightens."Mr. Giordano, I understand your concern, but rushing in without proper intelligence-""Will get everyone killed," I finish."I know how these things go."The reminder hangs in the air like smoke. Everyone in this room knows what I am. The youngest don in New York history, the man who killed his own father for power.They're only working with me because Elias vouched for me before he disappeared and th

  • My Runaway Mafia Groom Wants Me Back   Chapter 40 Rescued

    (Jackson)This is just like the movies! There are boats everywhere with big lights and loud noises, and Daddy is being super strong carrying both me and Mommy in the water.He's even better than Batman and Spider-man together."Daddy, you’re saving us," I say, trying not to let my teeth chatter too much.The water is really cold, but I don't want to complain because grown-ups always worry about everything."I’m trying to, buddy," Daddy says, but his voice sounds funny.Almost like he's trying not to be scared.But that's silly. Daddy isn't scared of anything. He's the strongest person in the whole world."This is better than the pool," I tell them, even though it's not really.The pool at home doesn't have scary boats shooting at each other and I can get out anytime.But Mommy looks really worried, and I learned that sometimes you have to say nice things to make people feel better."Jackson, baby, just hold on tight," Mommy says. Her voice is all shaky."I am! Look, I'm a monkey!" I w

  • 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
