Just a few steps and I'd be free, the thought had sounded simple enough. The door was supposed to be my passage to safety, outside should have lead to instant freedom. I just needed to make it a few more steps. God how I wish it would have turned out to be that easy.David and I both stopped in our tracks when the door ahead of us slung open with yet more men advancing on us. I felt cornered we had men ahead of us, men coming from behind and only a handful of men were actually with us. With a single glance at David, he nodded at me letting me know he understood. We were fighting our way out of this and it wouldn't be pretty, it wouldn't be easy.As I loaded a new clip into my gun I prayed to whatever God was stupid enough to ever agree to watch over me and began aiming as I made my way forward. My adrenaline was pumping and even the wound to my shoulder was forgotten at the moment. Each step forward I took seemed to be in slow motion and even though I wanted to protect

Lucas returned to our room with my drink and food in hand. Taking it from him I made myself comfortable in the bed taking a sip of my drink before I sat it down opening my omelet. I didn’t know how best to begin my questions to Lucas so I just flat out asked, “so what does all of this mean?”Turning his head to look down at me, Lucas sat beside me. “You don’t have to worry.”Shaking my head I sat my fork down, “so us going missing won’t alarm anyone? You won’t have people still looking for you? You’re not going to go back after them for what happened with David?”Lucas cut his eyes at me and for a second I thought he would straight shut down and not answer but soon he sighed. “If anyone asks we went out of town to relax. With you being pregnant it wouldn’t be unheard of. I’m not worried about being retaliated against and you don’t need to worry about what my next movie will

Lucas helped me clean the kitchen in a rush to hurry and get upstairs but ended up being called out on business. I hadn’t been happy but I didn’t argue about it either. It wasn’t worth it. Besides I got to go take a bath in peace, put on a cute nightgown despite being pregnant, and now I was sitting up in the bed admiring my ring. Lucas had done a fantastic job of picking it out. It was amazing and the way it shimmered in the light was mesmerizing. I never thought I'd ever own anything like it. “It’s not going anywhere you know,” I looked up rolling my eyes at Lucas smirking at me from the doorway. “Whatever,” I mumbled.Lucas laughed walking closer to the bed. "You miss me, baby,” he asked as he sat down on the edge of the bed.Shrugging I tried my best to look uninterested, “I don’t know it was kind of quiet without you here. I got to enjoy that huge ass tub all by myself with

As I looked at my reflection in the mirror I felt anything but excited and happy. Today was my wedding day and I felt alone. I hadn’t seen Lucas since last night and now here I was dressed in my beautiful wedding gown alone waiting for our ceremony to begin. Sure I had my stylist do my hair and makeup and she talked to me the entire time but it wasn’t like I had my family here. I had reached out to my aunts and cousins but they had all made up some excuse as to why they couldn’t come. I’m sure they didn’t want to make my mom or Dad mad but I still had hoped someone would be able to make it.Rubbing my belly I sighed, I would have preferred to have waited till after the baby was born to get married but Lucas was dead set on us being married before Chloe arrived. Hearing a knock on the door I jumped, we still had almost 20 minutes before the ceremony started and I was already completely dressed. Maybe it was the wedding planner checking to make sur

As we left the cottage I couldn’t help but be sad. I loved our new house but there was just something about the small cottage that just seemed...I don’t know cozy. It was like me and Lucas actually got to know each other better. We bonded and not just in sex. We had laid in the bed doing nothing but talking one night. He had told me things I had never known about him, things that opened my eyes as to why Lucas Blake was Lucas Blake.As much as I wanted to hide in our cottage Lucas had things to deal with back in the city. The police had been to the nightclub looking for him and although they hadn’t called he knew from experience it was better to go to them first. His carefree demeanor had already changed, it changed the minute we pulled out of the cottage’s driveway.I still had no idea what being his wife would entail. He had already set up appointments to add me to several of his bank accounts and holdings. I had told him he didn’t have
