Austin Foster’s POVI watched from a distance, waiting for Connor Remington to crawl back to me and beg for mercy. I expected him to run around like a headless Chicken, begging for help. But he didn’t…I guess he knew all along that I am behind his misfortunes. And he never said or did anything about it, he did not seek help from me, and he did not come and apologize to me because he is a damn proud bastard. Instead, he ran to his dear friend, Evans Osborne and he signed a merger with the Osbornes. That way, they will have the money they need to pay off the bank and still keep their last ship. The Osbornes are the wealthiest family in this city, they are not to be challenged. After one meeting with Evan Osborne, the Remingtons found a solution to their problems, a solution that I never thought about.I may have found a way to smuggle my consignment with their last ship, but I knew this arrangement would not last for long. All thanks to Connor Remington, I came to realize that I hav
Casey’s POVThe alarm on my wristwatch went off, It is a signal from Tyler. It meant that Austin is back home, so I need to put away everything I was doing before he gets in there. Tyler is one of his security guards, he has been with him for a couple of years, and he knows all there is to know about him. He once tried to expose Austin and put an end to his tyranny. But things didn’t go well as they thought they would. Austin Foster escaped from the city, and he came back after a while to continue his legacy from where he stopped.The cops could not catch him no matter how hard they tried. Austin hid under a disguise and now, it is only those that are deep in the underground businesses that recognize him. He killed everyone that betrayed him, he literally handed them to butchers and he had them maimed like animals while he sat at a distance, watching them cry out for Mercy.Tyler is lucky to be alive…He could have been killed too, but his name was never mentioned because he never att
Still Casey’s POV“Get rid of the Comms, he’s headed your way.” Tyler warned me from the control room. That is his office, he is in charge of their trackers, Comms, and other hacking into any database that Austin requires. When Austin leaves the house, he turns off the cameras inside the house, giving me the chance to search this house for clues to find my kids. We have been doing this for over one year, but Austin is too smart to be tricked. He never leaves his briefcase or any other documents unchecked. Our only option now is to decode his safe in his private room. I’m sure I will find what I’m looking for there. Tyler is working on a way to track him and know where he goes always. I know he visits the kids frequently, he hates them as well, but he always uses them to control me and keep me on a leash. He always spends time with them, and while he’s there, he makes a video of them crying and begging to see me. When he gets back home, he plays the video for me just to hurt me and ma
Drakes POVCall me paranoid but I couldn’t fall asleep that night. I felt so relieved after making love to my wife, but I couldn’t force myself to fall asleep. I just pulled her into my arms and cuddled her to sleep. I played with her hair, pecking her forehead softly, whispering nice words to her, promising my undying love and devotion.She snuggled closer to me as she fell asleep on my shoulder with a smile on her face. She looked so beautiful, so peaceful, it was so hard to understand why anyone would want to hurt such a beautiful soul. She would never do anything to hurt anyone, she puts other people's feelings ahead of hers. It hurts me to know that she would have married my brother if I didn’t show up when I did. Everything that has happened since I stepped back into this city has been leading me right to this point. I am certain that this is where I want to be, and I am prepared to do everything possible to keep her safe. Looking at her vulnerability as she slept made me feel s
Still Drakes POVMy eyes widened in shock when I heard her say those words, I pushed her aside and I jumped down the stairs in one swift move, then I flung the laptop far away from us. “Hit that red button on the wall, then go up to the room and shut the door, I need to sort this out.” I instructed her fiercely. She seems to be in a trance, but she complied with my instructions. She hit the alarm button to alert everyone in the building of a probable danger, then she went back into the room and shut the door. I didn’t turn back until I heard the lock click shut, then I picked up my phone and got ready for business.I’m sure that everyone in this house got the memo, they know exactly what to do in situations like this. Even the maids and other domestic staff were duly informed. I guess it’s only Mia that is still left in the dark, that is why I needed to yell out instructions to her again. Once this alarm goes off, every one of them, I mean all domestic staffers is expected to go into
Still Drakes POV“Pick up the fucking fun phone!” I screamed at my phone, hoping it gets to Riley. I’ve been trying to reach him, I keep dialing his number but he wasn’t taking my calls. I wonder what he could be up to.“Babe,Babe,Drake…Is everything okay?Is it safe to come down now?” Mia asked me from the top of the stairs. I looked in her direction and I saw her head popping out as she peeked down at us. I smiled in her direction and I beckoned her to come down because the coast is clear obviously. “Are you sure you want her to find out what your brother is planning to do with her like this, do you want to have that conversation with her now?” Liam muttered, making me groan. I know what he is talking about, I know the conversation he is talking about, and I know I would come clean with her one day, but that is not today. “I can handle Mia, she doesn’t need to know the truth for now. I would have that conversation with her when I’m ready. Just get the car ready, we are be leavin
Austin’s POVI gave her an easy way to reach me, and I asked her not to use the distress button unless she has no other choice. So when my phone blasted with the sound of the alarm tone, I knew immediately that it was from her, and I knew something was terribly wrong, or else she would never have pushed that button because she knows I’m going to kill her for disturbing me unnecessarily. I picked up my laptop and connected my phone to the laptop. I need to use the signal from the distress button to triangulate her location and find out exactly where she is and what she is up to.I managed to pull up her location, I discovered that she is currently at one of the Osborne hotels. I called in my tech guy, and I asked him to have into the hotel’s cameras so I can see everything happening around her. I almost smashed my laptop in anger when I saw her sitting in a restaurant with two guys who look like bouncers. From the look on her face, I can tell that she doesn’t want to be there, they ar
Drake’s POVI can’t believe that I just tortured my brother, why the hell would he make me do such a thing?He pushed me!He fucking pushed me!He could have just told me what I wanted to know, and I would never have resorted to this harsh method, but he kept teasing and mocking me. He called me a weakling, and he threatened to destroy everything I care about. I was already pissed off at him for daring to challenge me. I couldn’t control my anger when I heard him say those nasty things about Mia and I. I fucking lost it, and if not for the intervention of the police, I wouldn’t have stopped hurting him until I force out every damn information about Austin Foster. All he kept saying is that, “You will never win against Austin Foster!You better run, Drake. He is coming for you.” He let out smugly. I guess he is trying to scare me out of town too bad he’s doing such a terrible job at it. I don’t feel scared or threatened by that idiot, if anything, I feel challenged by him, and that on
