LOGINCHAPTER 141ANNIKA“MUMMY!” Sophie’s soft voice filled the living room as I walked in. Her smile was so bright. She tossed her tablet on the couch and ran into my arms, her body so warm, so small.“My little muffin,” I whispered, pressing my lips to her cheeks.“How is Aunty Mabel, how is the baby?” She asked as she took my hands and led me to the living room.It took Sophie two and a half months to get herself. She had constant nightmares and would often scream randomly. Isaiah hired the best psychiatrists, and with the help of people around us, Sophie made an amazing recovery while constantly sending letters to Jake in prison.Ah, speaking of Jake, Jerald managed to cut him some slack, so he should be out in five years and if his good behavior persists, then he might be out sooner.“The baby is fine, she looked so beautiful, you should have seen her.”“Then let’s visit her this weekend.”I nodded, “Okay.”“Welcome madam, how is Madam Mabel?” Anna asked while she placed a glass of wa
CHAPTER 140 ANNIKA My heart thumped like crazy, my hands trembled because I could feel him go cold behind me, I could feel his weight press on me but he didn’t stop. “I missed you so much that it hurts like crazy.” He whimpered. No. I tried to turn again bit he held me. Why …why is he doing this? “The house felt lonely and every hour without you felt like I was thrown into a burning furnace.” He chuckled, “I knew I loved you but I had no idea how crazy I was for you…” “Isaiah….” “I’m sorry for coming so late…” “Isaiah…stop talking, please.” “I’m sorry, you heard me say those words…..” “Isaiah, please, I beg you, stop ….” “I will never abandon you or give up on you because I love you…I love you so much Annika Sultan.” “Isaiah…please….please…stop.” I cried, fighting to turn but he held me, as if he didn’t want me to see but I won’t let him….I won’t have my back turned to him so I fought and I won. He had blood coming from his mouth, he looked seriously injured but his smile
Chapter 139 ANNIKA My head continued to ring, like a drum was being played very close to my ears. I could hear people shouting and moving around rapidly but more importantly, Isaiah looked ready to kill someone. Oh no…I think he misunderstood me.... Jake didn’t kidnap Sophie…he is protecting her. I have to tell him…I have to protect Jake. But my mouth won’t open, the words won’t come out. “Stay here, Annika, you inhaled too much. Stay here, I’ll join the guys and catch that bastard, he won’t get away with what he did.” Isaiah muffled, his hands gently stroking my hair. No! Isaiah, you’ve got it wrong. Wait…Jake is innocent….he is not going to harm Sophie. Ah fuck, why won’t the words come out? The smoke I had inhaled while yelling for help seemed to be affecting me now. Isaiah peeled away from me, I tried to grab him but I couldn’t. he slipped out of my hands and I watched him say something to a man who was just about his height, and his built. The guy sneered and called
CHAPTER 138 ANNIKA Sophie dashed, faster than I have ever seen her run before. She ran as if her life depended on it because it did. Isaiah was a great father, one who knew the world was a wicked place and he made sure Sophie was not oblivious to that fact so when he noticed she loved running, he taught her something he believed would always help her in the future. He told her the danger of being a girl and how being able to run would help her. Run as your life depends on it, Sophie. He would always say to her. Run like fire is behind you. Run like you are being chased by a dog or a wolf….RUN SOPHIE RUN. And she ran. She ran out through the door and I watched Jake’s hand, wrap around her waist and he ran. “Argh!” Mirabel yelled. “Go after him! Find him and bring them here….no, kill them immdeitaly you find them.” Please Jake, stay somewhere safe….somewhere safe until Isaiah arrives with the cop. Hazel turned to me, confusion plastered all over her face. I simply nodded and he
CHAPTER 137 ANNIKA Once again we were in Mirabel’s hands, in the building we had seen earlier, hands tied. Except this time, we were surrounded by men, men who looked ready to kill if we twitched. Sophie clung to me, but this time she wasn’t hiding her face, this time, she was glaring at her mother and it wasn’t just her, Hazel was glaring as well. I want to cuss her out and tell her how much of a horrible person she was but a part of me feels like this situation is every shade different from the one earlier. Sophie, Hazel, and I could end up dead this time. The one person who helped us escape before, Jake, is being held, with a bullet in his leg. “Finally, we are together again.” Mirabel muffled, stepping closer, her eyes on me. “You…You have a way of charming people, you know that?” “I could have bet everything I had that this man would abandon you or even run away with you, leaving the kid but instead, he rescued all of you. Wow, is that the same charm you used on Isaiah?” She
CHAPTER 136 ISAIAH Grandma always believed in miracles, the type that feels impossible. It always sounded ridiculous to me. Anything beyond facts and known knowledge was not my forte. But then, I got the message. LITTLE WITCH: Brother, it’s me, Hazel. I am with Annika and Sophie. We are not completely safe, but we are out of danger. Here is a link to our location, come save us. If that is not a miracle, I am not sure what is. The moment my eyes dragged through that message, something inside of me came alive, relief washed over me, and my thumping heart slowed for a moment. My trembling hands scrolled through the phone again and again. They are alive ….they are safe. My girls are okay. I jumped to my feet, grabbing my keys, I dashed out of my bedroom, running down the stairs like a lunatic. “Isaiah, son, where are you going, dinner is almost….” I halted and turned to my mother and mother-in-law. “I have to go,” I said, biting back the light that flashed through my face, the h

CHAPTER 5 ANNIKAOh my fucking goodness.Is it the fact that Isaiah is on his knees or the fact that he is begging to taste me that I find more seductive?I should tell him to stand up and get back into his car and
CHAPTER 4ISAIAHAh fuck me.I didn’t mean to act like a jerk, I just…I can’t seem to wrap my head around the fact that she wants to take a leave for a whole month.What happened?Was it me?Did I run my mouth without realizing it?But she is not the type to nitpick on my words.The reason I enjoy
