INICIAR SESIÓNChapter 106 — Don’t Look BackSamantha JonesWe fought, but we were caught.Taylor and I still tried to escape, even with them clutching onto us, but we were unsuccessful. The drive didn’t take long; the car seemed to fly down the avenue. They didn’t bother blindfolding us, only focused on keeping a gun pointed at each of our faces.My eyes constantly traveled between the windows to identify the route, and Taylor seemed always alert to every movement the bastards made. As soon as we entered a neighborhood and turned down two streets, she reacted.“You’ve got to be kidding me that we came to this shithole!” Taylor said, furious.“The good daughter returns home,” one of the men said mockingly to her, pulling off his hood.“Adam?!” she said, confused, and the guy just smiled.“Taylor, do you know them? Where are we?” I asked, but it was the guy with the hood who answered me.“Of course she knows. The little runaway bitch is from here.”“Your mother is the bitch!” Taylor shot back.“She i
Chapter 105 — Going After HerAtlas Wilson“Sammy…”The name of my wife kept echoing in my mind. They took her. Those bastards took my Samantha. Fury consumed me—yes, just as it consumed everyone else, knowing the risk our women were facing. But Dominic… he turned into a beast.“Give me the address, Lawson. Now,” he said.“Dom, we’re all going together,” I said, and he nodded, responding:“I’m driving.”We left as fast as possible, all of us piling into Dom’s car. Lawson provided the address, and Dom called a few friends to request camera footage. Things were happening all around me—Dominic was barking orders into the phone, Christopher was making contacts, while Noah and Declan cursed those bastards—but me…I could only think of her, of our moment before going to Noah’s. Her touch, her mouth, her body pressed against mine… Sammy… her name played in my mind like a prayer.I don’t even want to think about what I’m capable of if something happens to her. We arrived, and Dom shifted into
Chapter 104 — It Was Me Who Wanted…Juliet PierceI was still digesting the idea. Could it be? Our Lady of Women Who Have Unprotected Sex… of course you’d show your face eventually, wouldn’t you?God, and if I am pregnant—Noah just accepted my children as his own, but what will his reaction be to having a child of his own, 100% his, no outsourcing involved?“Ju?!” Jen called out, snapping me out of the trance I’d put myself in.“We need a test,” Sammy said.“No, I don’t want to think about that right now,” I replied.“Oh, Ju, tell me you aren’t curious,” Jen asked.“I am, incredibly so. But…” I stopped mid-sentence.“Let’s go to the pharmacy, get a test, and you take it,” Penny said.“I don’t know, girls. Maybe I’m just… late for the sake of being late.”“Oh, absolutely. The way you and Noah go at it, there wouldn’t even be a possibility…” Sammy said sarcastically.“Samantha!” I snapped at her, irritated.“The boys look like they’ll be a while, Ju. We’ll go and be back in minutes,” Je
Chapter 103 — Aligning ThingsNoah BlakeThe guys arrived, and I led them all into the office. Dinner was the excuse to get together, and our women being together provided the peace we needed so our conversation could be calm.“I like to be objective, so I’ll get straight to the point,” I began. The guys were seated in front of me, each with a glass in hand. “A week ago, Juliet’s apartment was broken into. They left photos and a note. Everyone here knows about that.” They nodded without interrupting me. “I already knew it was George Monroe, her scumbag ex, but Lawson and I suspected he wasn't acting alone.”“What do you mean?” Dom asked.“He has money, but not enough to pull off what he’s been doing, and certainly not enough to erase his tracks so easily,” I said. “And what also intrigued me was: why now? He could have come after her and the kids before.”“You have the answer in your own information,” Atlas said. “If he didn't have money, he waited until he did—maybe he saved up or to
Chapter 102 — Mini BlakeJuliet PierceAfter the scare with Declan, we picked up the children early, just as we had agreed. I fall for Noah every second I spend by his side; the way he has been treating my children—and the fact that he now only refers to them as “ours”—enchants me in a way that feels surreal.On the way home, he told me he had invited everyone for dinner, and that intrigued me. I knew he was hiding things from me; he had spent the day buried in the office and had barely spoken to me about the situation with Declan, but I felt like something big was happening—a category five hurricane approaching.We got home, and before anything else, he went to play with the kids. He carried Laurinha on his back because he was her white horse; he played superheroes with Heitor, and of course, my boyfriend was Superman, my man of steel.Late afternoon arrived, and Cece helped me bathe the children before heading to the kitchen to help Ava with dinner. Athena, a total sweetheart, invit
Chapter 101 — Do You Want to Be My Girlfriend?Taylor LaurentHe kissed me. Dominic kissed me, and it was the most delicious thing in the world. Fuck, I really am Julia Roberts. When our twenty-fifth kiss ended—because I refused to stop kissing him—he pulled us apart. With that smile that used to make me want to punch him and now only makes me want to kiss him even more, he said to me:“Miss Insatiable, we still have to go shopping.” I felt my face heat up, but it was the absolute truth; I couldn't get enough of him.“Mr. Delicious Thor…” I began, but he interrupted me with a kiss on my neck.“So I’m 'Delicious Thor' now, am I?”“If I already compared you to Thor, it was because I already thought you were a snack. But anyway,” I drew his attention back to what really mattered, “we forgot a small detail.” I wiggled my feet, which were propped up on the sofa. “I don’t have shoes. Mine are at Declan’s, but I don’t think they’d really match this dress.”“I must have something in there. It
Christopher LawsonI closed the bedroom door behind us, and for a second, the outside world dissolved into the mosaic of burning eyes that Penelope returned to me. The troublemaker had this irritatingly challenging way about her, but there, in the narrow hallway of the guest room, the provocation g
Christopher LawsonWe stepped out of the elevator, and Noah came to meet me. He greeted Penelope with a nod, which she returned with a smile—and that annoyed the hell out of me. What the fuck is this?“Let’s go to my office,” he said.“UNCLE CHRIS!” my little princess ran to me.“Ah, there’s my bab
Christopher LawsonOliver called saying Juliet invited us for lunch. I messaged Penelope, and she said she’d gotten the invite too. I picked up my car and went to get her, but on the way, Ju asked me to stop by and grab some things my little princess needed.I noticed Penelope’s mood shift immediat
Noah BlakeI said I’d show her I loved her… and I did.First, I teased her with my fingers…“Noah…” My name escaped in a moan, and I silenced her with a kiss.I don’t think a thousand different ways would be enough to explain what this woman has become to me.She was there, lying beneath me, eyes s
