The Bride's Revenge, The Heir's Escape Chapter Thirty-Three: The Warehouse Standoff
The early morning air was thick with tension as police cars surrounded the old warehouse, their headlights cutting through the fog like silent warnings. Engines were switched off, boots hit gravel, and guns were cocked quietly. Nobody spoke, they all knew this wasn’t a simple arrest.Inside the warehouse, Noah’s remaining men grew restless. One peeked through a crack in the broken wooden wall.“We’ve got company,” he said, stepping back quickly. “Cops. They're everywhere.”Noah clenched his jaw. His fingers gripped the baby’s blanket tighter, and the child stirred with a soft cry.“Damn it,” Noah muttered, pacing again. “How the hell did they find us so fast?”The room felt like it was closing in. Sweat ran down the sides of his face, but it wasn’t fear, it was fury.“Should we shoot our way out?” one of his men asked, adjusting his rifle.Noah didn’t answer at first. He looked down at the baby and it looked innocent, tiny, unaware of the world he’d been dragged into.“No. Not yet. We

The sun hadn’t risen yet. Darkness still cloaked the land like a blanket soaked in dread.Back in the women’s prison, Mrs Smith sat quietly on her bunk, staring at the wall. Her thoughts weren’t still. Her heart beat faster than it had in years. Every second she sat there felt like a second closer to her son’s destruction or someone else’s.Then she heard it.Whispers.Soft ones.Two inmates, both sitting near the back of the recreation room, murmuring over cards, talking about an old escape route. One was a former tourist prisoner, a woman who’d been arrested during a sting operation overseas. She knew a lot. She had maps, memories, and grudges.Mrs Smith turned to listen.“You really think the old boiler tunnel’s still open?” one woman asked.“Was two years ago. Couldn’t use it then ‘cause I didn’t wanna run. But I know where it is. Just need someone crazy enough to try it.”Mrs Smith's hand clenched around the hem of her dress.This was it. Her only chance.That night, while the gu

In a dimly lit basement far from the city, Noah Smith paced back and forth. His eyes were bloodshot, his fists clenched. Around him, four other men, his most loyal followers sat at a table scattered with blueprints, weapons, and security footage.The television in the corner played the news, where Noah’s face flashed repeatedly with the bold headline: “WANTED: NOAH SMITH, Armed and Dangerous.”The anchor’s voice filled the room.“…Smith escaped police custody after a deadly ambush that left four officers dead. He is believed to be the mastermind behind the attack and the attempted murder of Liam Hamilton. Authorities advise extreme caution…”Noah grabbed the remote and turned the volume down with a hard press, then looked at the others.“They think they’ve seen what I can do,” he muttered. “They have no idea.”A tall, bearded man named Colt leaned forward. “What’s the next move?”Noah smirked, a dangerous glint in his eyes. “Ava thinks she’s safe behind the Hamilton gates. But we won’

Liam’s eyes widened. “Noah?”Noah Smith, bruised, thin, and looking half-mad, gave a small, twisted smile.“Surprised to see me?” he asked.Guards flooded in behind Liam, weapons drawn.“Don’t come closer!” Noah shouted, holding a knife. “Don’t make me do something stupid.”Liam stepped forward slowly, hands raised. “You already did something stupid. You took my son.”“I didn’t want to hurt him,” Noah said, his voice trembling. “I just wanted to prove a point. You left me to rot. Everyone forgot me after Olivia died. But I remember everything.”“You put a newborn’s life at risk,” Liam growled.Noah’s eyes twitched. “I was going to return him. I just wanted to scare you.”“Well, mission accomplished,” Liam snapped.The baby cried louder, wailing now.One of the guards moved quietly behind Noah.Liam saw the chance. “Now!”Before Noah could react, the guard tackled him to the ground. The knife clattered away, and another guard scooped up the baby, quickly wrapping him tighter.“Get him

That night, Ava and Liam lay in the massive four-poster bed. The sheets smelled fresh, and the pillows were softer than clouds.“You okay?” Liam asked, gently stroking her arm.Ava nodded. “It’s a bit much, but… it feels good. Safe.”They were drifting off to sleep when Ava suddenly sat upright.“Ow!”Liam jumped out of bed. “What? What is it?”Ava clutched her belly, her face tight with pain. “I… I think it’s starting.”Liam’s heart nearly stopped. “The baby?”Ava nodded, breathing heavily. “Contractions. They’re real this time.”He scrambled for the phone. “James! Get the doctor! Now!”Within minutes, the private Hamilton medical team was in the room, setting up equipment and monitoring Ava’s condition. Mrs. Hamilton burst in wearing a robe, clearly woken up.“What’s happening?” she asked, her voice alarmed.“She’s in labor,” Liam said.Ava let out a low groan as another contraction hit. She was sweating, gripping Liam’s hand so tightly he thought his fingers might break.“I’m
The Bride's Revenge, The Heir's Escape Chapter Twenty-Eight: Coming Home
The sun had just begun to set behind the tall iron gates of the Hamilton estate, casting a warm golden glow over the perfectly trimmed hedges and grand walls of the mansion. Inside the elegant sitting room, Mrs. Hamilton sat on a velvet couch with a straight back and her legs neatly crossed. Everything about her posture radiated power, poise, and a lifetime of discipline. Her hands rested calmly on her lap, but her sharp eyes hinted at a storm brewing beneath her calm exterior.James, the family's longtime assistant, stood in front of her with a sheet of paper in hand. His face lit up with excitement, but he tried to maintain his usual composed tone as he read aloud."The obstetrician confirms Ava is expecting a baby boy. The due date is fast approaching, and the baby boy is perfectly healthy," James said.At once, Mrs. Hamilton's lips broke into a rare, genuine smile. Her eyes sparkled, and for a second, she looked more like a joyful grandmother than the stern matriarch of the Hamilt
