We’ve decided to let them stew for now. I want to focus on Sam right now. dealing with bottom feeders come second to her.I’m sitting on the sofa with Harry. She’s asleep in my arms. "Craig are busy?” Sam’s voice comes through the intercom I had installed by our bed.I get up without waking Harry. I’ll drop her in her room. I love being a dad.

Chapter 70 Craig Blackheart POV After a long, long talk with the police they finally left. Blake had a few men pick Sam and Harry up, they were going to stay with Julliet and the girls for the rest of the night. Both of the girls were shaken up about what happened, I wanted to stay with them, but I needed to handle Aaron before he becomes a bigger problem. We were driving to the little cottage house, Aaron father had in his wife’s name. Stupid move if you ask me. If you’re in hiding, you don’t hide in anything under your own name. I should be thanking them for their stupidity. “Derek is sending backup." I say, just now remembering Derek mentioning men to cover us. "He mentioned if when we spoke. He did sound upset. He was with his girl.” Blake smiles. I frown and look at him. “He has a girl?” I ask. "Yeah, he does. Get this. One of Bradford’s exes." Blake then goes into a whole explanation of how they got together and how Derek fell in love and how she works admin for Derek

That he’ll return to me safely.When the front door opens both Julliet and I stand and rush over to the door.Blake’s the only one that walks in through.I sigh. Where’s Craig.“Don’t worry about Craig. He’ll be here soon. Why don’t you take a seat Sam…” Blake says when he sees me.He pulls Julliet into his arms. “Why aren’t the two of you asleep?” he asks.I shrug my shoulders and make my way to the sofa.“How were the girls?” Blake asks Julliet.Julliet and Blake talk for what feels like forever before the front door opens again.Craig walks in his head hung.I get up and rush over to him.When he notices me and smiles and pulls me into his arms.“Hey baby, what are you still up?

Chapter 72Craig BlackheartPOVThere’s either something wrong with this woman, or she’s just plain dumb?Either way it’s not looking good for her. I don’t care if she’s plain dumb or plain stupid. She dies for thinking she could lay a finger on Sam and get away with it.I tilt my head to the side as I listen to her ramble on about what good of a man I am. The type of man I am. I’m the type of man who wouldn’t hesitate to kill anyone who thinks they can lay a finger on my family.I don’t have to be a bad man to protect my family. If I let her go, she’ll come back and cause more harm in the future."A good man would still kill you." I speak.After I left my parents this morning, I spent an hour just driving around the city, I needed to calm down. I felt like I’d betrayed Sam by not killing them. No matter how bad my parents had gotten I’ve never felt the amount of rage I had last night.After leaving them I didn’t feel any better. I still don’t feel happy about leaving them like that.

I nod. “We could do something at home as well, I don’t feel comfortable with that either, but that’s a part of our lives as well. We won’t be able to keep them in that bubble forever.” I say.She shakes her head "I know, but they’re too young right now..."I smile kissing her head "Of course, we’ll do it the way you want it…" I tell her.“So, when are we trying for baby number three?” she asks.My eyes widen. “What? You just gave birth to the girls and you’re already thinking of another? If I remember correctly, you were in labor for almost twenty-four hours.” I remind her.She smiles. “I want a boy as well. And I thought you’d want a son…”“The girls are more than enough for me. I don’t think I ever want to see you in the same about of pain again. Jesus, I’ve never felt that powerless in my life…” I shake my head.Just thinking about it sends shivers down my spine."You’re being dramatic again..." she rolls her eyes."I am not being dramatic Julliet. You were in so much pain and refu
