MAEVE HAWTHORN.

I felt something really soft graze my forehead, and next, a very soothing pat on my head and then a scratch. I felt like I was floating on cloud nine.

That’s right, I returned to Enzo’s house— our home— yesterday, and now I’m on his bed with him next to me. My heart fluttered at the thought of it, my cheeks felt hot and the tingling sensation became something I couldn’t possibly curb.

The slightly painful feeling between my legs was also a reminder of what we did last night, and as the memory flooded me, I couldn’t stop myself from smiling.

He wasn’t the least bit gentlemanly at all, and right now, I already established that it isn’t strange to want more. It isn’t strange to want him to treat me even rougher, but right now I have to think of our child.

“You look like you’re having a really nice dream,” his voice seeped into my subconscious, and I only smiled, turning around so that I could snuggle more into him.

His scent flooded my senses, causing a different kind of

    MAEVE HAWTHORN.My head was spinning, my muscles ached, and so did my body, but despite all of that, I couldn’t help but think about Clara, wondering if she was able to get to safety.She was the only one who probably had a shot at getting Enzo, and that’s if she still remembered his phone number. My heart pounded loudly in my chest, the sound so loud in my ears.Slowly, I managed to open my eyes, but it took my eyes so long to adapt to the semi-darkness of the room, I couldn’t make anything out at first, just shapes, and probably people. The sound of footsteps filled the air, but I could tell that it was only one person walking around.“Let’s see if you’ll be able to save your damsel in distress as early as you think you’re going to be able to.” An unfamiliar masculine voice said as I tried to help myself up only to realize that I’d be bound.I couldn’t move my hands or legs, I couldn’t even help myself up. I winced, pain shooting through my veins, panic setting me on fire as I thoug

    ENZO DE-LUCA.I didn’t know what I was expecting, I didn’t even know why I’d asked when it was evident from the very moment that I tried to check her location, and couldn’t see it.That fucking bastard.“Where are you?” I asked Clara who responded immediately that she had found a payphone because Maeve had made her memorize my phone number so that she could call me.That definitely seemed like something she would do. Damn, I really am proud of her, and I’m glad that she was mine, and she trusted me enough to know that all it was going to take was one call.But, the fools that had dared to put their hands on her wouldn’t be so glad that they had stayed alive enough to do it.“I know where you are, I’ll send one of my men to come pick you up. He’s going to do so with a code, if he doesn’t give you that code. I don’t know how badly injured you are, but run. Find the nearest place you’ll feel safe and stay there. He’ll come get you.” I assured her.I knew that I needed to protect her even

    ENZO DE-LUCA.“One of the people you need to defeat is Leo Quinn.” Levi said. He had been reporting since this whole meeting started, and quite frankly, while I should be concentrating on what was being said, I couldn’t help but think about Maeve.I loved the way she looked so shocked when I handed her the black card. I knew she’d probably never seen one before, and I wanted her to get used to it because I haven’t even started spoiling her the way I wanted to.When I’d received the call, I hated myself when I had to tell her that I really needed to leave. I’d thought that we were going to spend the day together, and if we were going to go out, it would be to get baby things.But Levi had insisted that I came for the meeting because he thought that Quinn was planning something. I’ve met with Quinn before, and the man possesses an insane amount of strength—the kind I might even struggle against.Sighing, I hoped Maeve was fine, and enjoying her shopping with Clara. I knew that she wasn’

    MAEVE HAWTHORN.The gun’s butt connected with her skull before my voice even finished leaving my throat. A sickening, dull crack. Her body folded. Just… folded.It was as if her bones turned to paper or something that could just fold so easily. She dropped face first onto the tile, and I gasped, watching with tears in my eyes as her hair formed a halo around her.“No. No. CLARA!” I screamed as I fell to my knees, reaching for her, shaking, breaths coming in sharp, useless bursts.I managed to turn her around, and didn’t know if I should be glad that the only injury was from the gun’s butt that had hit her head or be glad that there weren’t any major injuries?My chest constricted as I moved a chunk of her hair away from her face, her lips had immediately turned purple and she had small bruises on her forehead, her nose looked as though it was broken.“Clara?” I called, tapping her cheek but I got no response. “She needs help, please. Someone help her!” I screamed at the top of my lung

    MAEVE HAWTHORN.“Wh—what? A shoo… shootout?” I couldn’t think, my field of vision was too blurry, and for some reason my legs froze in place, and I couldn’t move anymore.My legs were shaking, I didn’t mean to stop. I really didn’t mean to, but my head was feeling too light for me to run at that speed Clara was dragging me.My chest heaved, my legs felt heavy and it was as though I was dragging heavy bricks with just both legs. My mouth opened, but not a single word came out, all that did were my heavy breaths.“Maeve? Are you okay?” Clara asked, worry written all over her face as she looked at me, and for a moment not just her face but even her voice was distorted.Nodding, I clutched my chest, I wanted to move, but the terror that coursed through my being had not only caused a lump to rise in my throat, it had also made my entire mouth butter, and my legs impaled to the spot.It was a good day. It was supposed to be a good day. I was supposed to keep enjoying shopping with Clara, an

    MAEVE HAWTHORN.Taking a deep breath, I stepped out of the room, and could immediately feel every single pair of eyes on me as I walked down the hallway while making a mental list of everything that I needed to do.I still didn’t know how to apologize to Clara, but I was sure that she would understand me, and we were going to make up. Also, while on the shopping spree, I could buy something for her.“Clara?” I called, making my way into the kitchen to see her doing the dishes. She’d already donned her apron, and was humming a song, but the moment I called her name, her brows drew together in a frown.Despite the fact that she didn’t answer me, and was going about doing her thing, I could tell that she heard me, and was intentionally ignoring me.I mean, she doesn’t even have anything plugged to her ears, and she already stopped humming so she definitely knew that I was in the kitchen.“Clara, come on, you can’t possibly be mad at me.” I sighed, taking a step towards her. My eyes lande
