Chapter 181 : The Grand Scheme of Things

Sara I was disappointed at first that Jaxon had to leave. The dinner he had prepared for us smelled delicious,and it would have been wonderful to spend a quiet, relaxing evening together. However, as usual, life had other plans for us. Jaxon was right, I didn't want to spend the evening alone, so I called Lauren, and she came right over. "This food is incredible!” Lauren exclaimed, taking a bite of Jaxon's truffle risotto. "I have two questions for you: does Jaxon cook like this for you every night? And if so, does he have a brother?" I laughed in response to both of her queries. "No brother, and sadly, no on the food either," I told her, digging into my own baked chicken. "It's just as well on that latter, really. If he did, I would probably gain about a million pounds!" It was wonderful to be around my friends again, I reflected. I hadn't seen Lauren in a while. She had been so busy with her new job that she didn't have much time to hang out the way we used to. And

Chapter 182 : Trojan Horse

Jaxon I couldn't fucking believe the operation had gone sideways so quickly. When I arrived at the warehouse, half of my guys were gone. The other half stood around, looking confused. I had left a relaxing dinner at home with my wife to deal with this shit, I thought. What exactly was happening? "Boss, we got a problem," Max told me, and I pinched the bridge of my nose in frustration, "They're holding five of our guys hostage in the Amsterdam hotel. They got the drop on us, and I don't know how it happened." This was not good news, to say the least. I couldn't leave my guys alone for five minutes without the Frankie brothers ruining my day. I was well and truly tired of this shit. "What about the drugs?" I asked him with a sigh. "Did you guys at least get the shipment before half of you got captured?" I could tell by the look on Max's face that they hadn't. Un-fucking-belivable. This operation was a nonstop shit show already, and it had only just started. "Can som

Chapter 183 : The Fog

SaraI couldn’t believe what was happening. I felt uneasy and uncertain. Nothing felt real. Could this really be happening? Is this real? I couldn’t tell if I was asking questions out loud or if it was just in my head. I wanted Jaxon. I kept telling Lauren I needed Jaxon, but she seemed to just be sitting still–like she couldn’t hear me. She looked white and sort of sweaty. She had her arms wrapped around her and she was looking at me like I was dead. Was I dead? I didn’t feel like it but it certainly felt like some part of me was gone, ripped away from me. I jolted my head toward the door when it burst open. Jaxon was there, looking wild with wide eyes. "Sara! Are you okay?" He was instantly at my side and took my hand in his. His eyes frantically traced over me as if looking for more physical injuries. My eyes welled with tears, knowing he would find none. Nothing that happened was something that could be seen, but I could feel it. I could feel the hole in my body an

Chapter 184 : Can’t Promise That

JaxonSara had been sleeping for hours. I knew I should have been relieved to see she was sleeping and resting. That was the only thing I could think that might help her. But she was still uneasy looking, she was still crying softly. Every part of me hurt, watching her hurt. My muscles were achy and uncomfortable but I sat still in the chair and kept my eyes on her. I watched her as if nothing could harm her as long as she was in my sight. But I knew that wasn’t true. I knew most of the hurt and pain she was suffering now was my fault. I had no right to be here or claim to be the one who was watching over her. I did the worst damage that any of my enemies ever did. The nurse came back into the room and pulled up her chart. She started reviewing information and making different notes. I would read those notes later when she left. She moved over to the bags of liquids and trackers that connected to the tubes stuck into Sara. She made sure everything was working well, and I cou

Chapter 185 : Some Kind of Release

Sara I felt like I had been in the hospital for months. I felt like I had just been lying down and crying for weeks. But it had only been a few days. I felt tired, weak, and dried out. The dark fog had lifted somewhat and mixed in with a terrifying numbness that I couldn’t shake. My voice felt raw from crying and arguing with Jaxon about leaving the hospital. I knew he was probably right. I knew it was probably too soon to leave, too soon to go to work, but I couldn’t help it. It was only making it worse to be alone, wallowing in my grief. I couldn’t remain in that much pain. My body and my heart couldn’t take it. I showered and focused on really cleaning everything. It had been a while since I had really showered well. I wasn’t sure how Jaxon could stand to stay close to me and sleep next to me. I was sure I didn’t smell great. I made sure to shave and clean the dirt out of my fingernails. I washed my hair carefully, making sure I got each strand. I wasn’t sure how long I

Chapter 186 : The Heir to the Underworld

JaxonI sighed and checked the watch on my wrist impatiently. Had these fuckers ever been on time a damn day in their lives? The audacity to ask me to meet up and then be over half an hour late was only making me angry. Max and I were sitting in my car, in the dark, waiting, just like last time.There were many things I could be doing, things that I would have rather been doing than waiting for Charlie Mochiatto and his dead-eyed brothers to grace me with their presence. I could be with Sara, although I was starting to feel like she'd prefer I wasn't there. Things had been far from easy ever since she'd suffered the miscarriage. Ever since I'd first seen her in that hospital bed, I'd been carrying around a sickening mix of guilt, fear, and worry. I felt guilty because I knew that I had caused all the stress that had ultimately resulted in her losing the baby.I was scared and worried that she felt the same.I had convinced her to stick by me up to this point, but I wasn't sure

Chapter 187 : A Secret Only a Good Friend Can Handle

SaraI sighed as the elevator doors slid open. Every time I came into this office, I was more like a zombie than the last time. I felt exhausted, but then, I always seemed to feel exhausted lately. It wasn't that I wasn't getting enough sleep-it was actually hard for me to peel myself out of bed. But no amount of sleep seemed to be enough to lift this weight off of my chest.I offered the receptionist a slight smile as I shuffled past her desk and entered the bullpen. Jaxon hadn't wanted me to come in today, again. I basically had to force him to let me leave the house and come to the office every morning, especially after last night.The Frankie brothers were still a real threat, and Jaxon didn't like me going out more than he felt was necessary. I could understand his worries and his reluctance, but I needed to get out or I would lose what little was left of my sanity. The distraction of work was good for me; it was one of the only things keeping me from completely sinkin

Chapter 188 : Artemis

Jaxon I was on my way to meet with the Vitullo Family, thinking about how supremely fucked up this situation had somehow gotten. The Frankie brothers were really pissing me off with their bullshit. Bringing that baby, fucking Cynthia’s baby, that would one day supposedly run their empire–that crap reminded me of something I saw on the History Channel, where kings and queens decided who was in charge by who was born next. They wound up with a lot of fucked up rulers that way; everybody knew that… well, everybody except for the Frankie brothers, apparently, the fucking stupid sons of bitches. As I pulled into the driveway of the Vitullo estate, I thought about the kid. I felt bad for her, with Cynthia's genes and those idiots raising her. She was fucked already and didn't even know it. I sighed and got out of the Rolls. I hadn't actually met with Cesar and Tatiana before that day, not in person, anyway. They invited me out to "discuss business," and I had to admit, it got

Chapter 189 : The Setup

Sara I woke up the next morning to a cold, gray day. The cloudy skies and drizzle seemed to mirror my emotions, I thought as I poured a cup of coffee and gazed out the window. Even King looked grumpy this morning, snorting when I opened the door to go outside, and giving me what I swore was a dirty look when he regarded the precipitation. "Sorry, buddy, I don't have anything to do with the weather," I informed him, and I was startled by the voice behind me. Jaxon, of course, standing behind me was wearing a grin."So, you're having full-on conversations with the dog now, huh," my husband remarked with a teasing glint in his eyes. "I mean, don't get me wrong, there are definitely worse individuals to chat with, but unless there's something I don't know, he can't talk back." Wise ass, I thought, but nonetheless appreciated his attempt at humor. I knew I hadn't exactly been myself lately. "At least he won't say the wrong thing and make me angry," I retorted, but I sof

Chapter 190 : Spousal Privilege

Jaxon I knew Sara would be pissed as hell that I told her mother about what happened. But I also knew that she needed to talk to someone about it other than me. While it could be argued that we'd both had the same loss, I knew that it was different for Sara. It couldn't possibly feel the same way to me that it did to her, for too many reasons to count. And also I knew, even though she never actually said it, that part of her still blamed me for what happened.That was the worst thing of all: that she blamed me but couldn't talk about it to me. And even if she could, what could I possibly do or say to improve the situation? Besides, I wasn't an idiot: I knew that if I told anyone outside the family Sara would probably leave me flat, no matter what my reasoning might have been. Fuck probably, she would definitely leave me. And I couldn't have blamed her for that. But really, I didn't see many other options. She wasn't going to go to a shrink to talk about her feelings. I'd alr
