**Tyler Mitchell's POV**
A year ago, my family and I arrived in Los Angeles to put our plan into action. Unfortunately, the marriage with the Parker family was crucial. Looking at Emily every day caused disgust, and hearing her voice only increased my desire to end her. Part of the plan was completed: her damn parents were eliminated. Now, only Emily remained. I discussed with Justin and Josh the best way to deal with her, to make her suffer until death. Even sex was repugnant. I enjoyed having her until I saw her bleed, and she seemed satisfied with that.I underestimated that filthy woman, and she dared to shoot me. I wanted to kill her on the spot. I charged with force; she couldn't even shoot properly. After she fell, I continued hitting her face; I barely felt the pain from the bullet in my arm, my fists were drenched in blood coming from her face."Stop, Tyler, you're bleeding!" Josh shouted, trying to restrain me with the help of Justin, while Emma approached to check Emily's pulse, who was unconscious. "I'll call a doctor," Emma ran off to get the phone."She has a weak pulse and is breathing with difficulty," Justin lifted her, placing her on the sofa. "Sit, Tyler! You've beaten her enough," Josh forced me to sit in the chair angrily; if they hadn't intervened, she would surely be dead by now because of my excessive anger."I can't believe you let things get to this point. If your father finds out..." Justin was about to complete the sentence, but I interrupted."No! Paul Miller won't know anything! Got it? I have control of the situation here!" I growled through gritted teeth."Really? Then tell me what you plan to do with Emily?" Justin asked, throwing a towel so I could try to stop the bleeding.I remained silent for a moment, trying to think about what to do with that filthy girl. "The doctor will arrive in a few minutes!" Emma said softly, looking at Emily with pity, who was about to wither away."Justin! Take Emily to the basement!" I shouted irritably."What?" he asked incredulously."Take her and don't question my orders. Lock her up; I will see her again later!" I said, leaving the kitchen and going to the bedroom, leaving a trail of blood throughout the house, not caring about the consequences."Mr. Mitchell, you're bleeding!" Emma said worried, looking at the amount of blood flowing down my body."Stop screaming like a fool, and get me gauze and bandages while I try to stop the bleeding!" I ignored her screams, and she promptly went searching for the first aid kit stored on the counter.I've been hurt in worse ways, and as soon as the doctor removed the bullet from my arm, I was determined to teach that bitch a lesson she would never forget.**Emily Parker's POV** I struggled not to open my eyes and realize the grave mistake I had made. Attempting to move my weak body, each inch of it ached terribly. It felt as if I had been run over by a car, yet in reality, I had merely endured a severe beating from my husband. It took a few seconds to comprehend that I was in a cold, damp place. Slowly opening my eyes, I hoped the sun would shine on my face, but there was no sunlight; nothing illuminated that dirty space. Rising from the cold floor, I walked toward a door on my right. I turned the handle forcefully, attempting to open it, but it remained locked. "What's happening?" I asked myself, recollecting that I had tried to eliminate Los Angeles's most prominent mobster, responsible for the city's primary betting houses, feared by all. Observing my bruised body, my heart raced. Completely purple, the image of his once-joyful smile now invoked fear. Trying to kill him, I realized, had signed my death warrant, and I could expec
Pov Tyler Miller. I was sitting on the couch, bandaging my arm it hurt like hell. The pain intensified when Justin poured alcohol on the wound to prevent infection. I could feel the entire length of my arm burning as if it were on fire, increasing the anger I felt towards that person. "What are you going to do with her?" Josh asked while adjusting the black bag full of money. "I'm going to make her suffer immensely!" I replied, grabbing a set of knives and a pair of polished silver handcuffs. "Why don't you just kill her, like you did with her parents?" Justin asked, confused. "Because before killing her, I want to give her the worst experience she can have, making her live in hell. That's why I married her to put an end to the Parker family!" I shrugged, showing indifference. "The money is already here, the shipment has been delivered to the guards, Josh got his morphine, you won't feel pain, and the doctor said the shot grazed you, it was easy to remove the bullet. No possible
"Pov Tyler Miller"Was it truly a baby?" I questioned, feeling both confused and fearful that I could have been responsible for my child's death; I would never forgive myself for that."No, it isn't! It still exists, although the girl bled significantly. The blood was from an internal hematoma, which can pose risks for both her and the baby. We'll keep her here until the vital signs of both return to normal. After that, we'll discharge her so she can go home. We'll keep you updated on her case," the doctor explained, reading the exam results as if it were the most ordinary thing in the world.I never planned to impregnate the daughter of the man blamed for my mother's death. I had already decided to keep her alive just to make her suffer, and suddenly this happened.I glanced at the bed, and she appeared to be waking up. Her eyes slowly opened, and it took her a while to figure out her surroundings. Emily turned her head and noticed me, causing her to shrink in fear on the bed."You'l
Pov EmilyPregnant? I don't want to be carrying his child. I don't want to bring my baby into this twisted world; Tyler doesn't deserve to be a father. My mind was a whirlwind of thoughts as the door to the room swung open, and Emma walked in with a tray in hand."Hello, Mr. Parker," Emma greeted with a smile."Hello, Emma," I attempted to reciprocate her smile, but with so much turmoil around me, it felt impossible to exude kindness."I've brought soup and some fruits for you," Emma said, approaching to reveal the contents on the tray."I'm not hungry," I responded, wrinkling my nose at the sight of the food."But you need to eat for the baby's sake. Come on, take a bite," Emma insisted, picking up a piece of fruit and attempting to feed me."Emma, I'm not hungry," I rejected with frustration. At that moment, the doctor and the nurse entered the room, carrying several examination papers that had been conducted while I was unconscious."I'm relieved to see you awake, Emily!" the docto
Pov Emily"What do you mean, leaving our lives forever?" I asked, a bit apprehensive, knowing Tyler didn't make jokes."When you have my child, you will die. Is it hard to understand?" he said, leaving the room and going down the stairs."You can't be serious. Do you really think you can kill me? You're dreaming!" I said angrily, following him and drawing the attention of the men waiting for him in the living room."Emily, stop bothering me with your unnecessary comments and go to bed!" he replied impatiently.I wondered what lie he would tell our son, trying to hide that he killed his mother by mistake. Do you think he will be able to forgive you?" I kept talking, not caring about the consequences.Emma came to us to find out what was going on, and the security guards began to surround the area due to my strident screams."Don't worry, I'll find a new mother for the baby. As soon as he's born, he'll never remember that you existed in his life!" Tyler shrugged, unfazed."So that's wha
POV TylerWhat the hell was my father talking about? I had killed the Parkers two months ago, and what is my father doing here?"Emily, go to your room, now!" I said seriously, and she looked at me, confused, not understanding what was happening."No! What do you mean? What did you do to my parents? They're innocent!""We didn't do anything, right, son? That's exactly why I'm furious!" Paul said through gritted teeth, sitting in the armchair in front of the living room."What are you talking about?" I raised my eyebrows suspiciously."They escaped!" my father answered angrily.I heard those words in disbelief. How could they have escaped? I kept one of my men to kill them, and he had told me the job was done."You tried to kill my parents?" Emily spoke with a shaky voice."Are you stupid by any chance?" Paul looked at her angrily, and I knew what he was about to do."Emily, go to your room, now!" I shouted. She looked at me a bit reluctant and slammed the door, obeying my command. I c
**Pov Emily. One day later...**It wasn't possible that my parents abandoned me to die, and worst of all, the reason for all this hatred is unknown. My parents wouldn't marry me into a family planning to destroy ours, or would they?Paul Miller never appeared in person, and Tyler's mother never visited us. They said she was involved with her bridal studio in New York and, therefore, didn't visit us. They didn't even show up for the wedding. In fact, I never met them.The first time I saw Tyler's father, he was in front of me pointing a gun at my head. Emma mentioned she overheard Tyler and Paul talking; his father planned to stay in this house for a month, and I needed to find a way to escape. I couldn't sleep at night out of fear. When I managed to fall asleep, I had nightmares and woke up scared in the middle of the night. I'm sure this isn't good for the baby.The clock read four in the morning. I decided to take a hot shower to calm down. When I entered the bathroom, I saw Tyler o
Pov Tyler.After leaving Emily at the cabin, I went straight to the warehouse. From a distance, I could identify the person sitting at my table."You woke up early," I said, looking at my father, who was sitting near the stack of drugs."You too, my dear son. Still trying to hide Emily from me, are you trying to keep me away from my grandson?" My father said with a sarcastic tone. "Don't worry, Tyler, I didn't follow you, and I don't know where she's hiding." He shrugged, indifferent."I'm sorry, but I can't let my son be at risk with you around," I replied seriously, observing his every expression."And you shouldn't. I might do something impulsive. Just looking at that girl, I already feel a boiling hatred inside me. But as soon as this baby is born, Emily will have to die, and for now, keep me away from her, just in case!" He said angrily."All right," I replied, sitting next to him at the table."Tomorrow, a new shipment of weapons will arrive near the border between Mexico and th
