Chapter 31: Blown AwayEltan Storm"Eltan, why are you taking me there?" Faith asked nervously.I gripped the steering wheel tighter, trying to keep myself composed. No matter how things went tonight, I couldn't afford to lose my cool. "I will tell you later."I couldn't tell Faith that I was taking her to the enemy's den with me hoping Mutiny would come sooner or later. I had to make up a lie, or maybe, I should just tell her the truth. But no, what if there was an adverse effect and she fainted? That would be more troublesome.From my peripheral vision, I noticed Faith becoming quiet and rubbing her palms up and down her upper arms. She seemed scared.It instinctively made me reach out my hand to grasp one

 Chapter 33: She Is Strong Eltan Storm "Do you want something to eat?" Mutiny asked, peeking inside my room from the doorframe."No, I'm feeling drowsy because of the painkillers. I'm just gonna change and lie down," I replied, standing in front of the dressing table and unbuttoning my shirt with one hand."Do you need some help with that?" She waltzed into the room and slapped my hand away to start working on the buttons."Why did you even bother asking?"She shrugged her shoulders and helped me take off the shirt. "What about your pants? I'll be happy to help with this too." She licked her lips and ran her index finger over the edge of my slacks with a mischievous glint in her ey

 Chapter 35: A Single System Eltan Storm "Why did he call you Daddy?" Mutiny asked, still not believing and holding Xian hostage."Because I told him we were going to meet his daddy," Alena giggled. "Technically, I didn't lie, though. Because we are going to meet Elian after this.""Mommy, you didn't tell me we were meeting Eltan," Xian complained with a pout."That's what you call a surprise, baby!" Alena cooed. "Also, call him uncle," she added a little sternly."It's fine. I will feel old if he calls me uncle." I turned my gaze back to Mutiny who was still skeptical of the entire situation. I

Chapter 37: Protect Him Faith Mabel Eltan was freaking out.It was the first time I was seeing him like this, and knowing I was partially responsible for it made things worse.If only I had told him that I was going to the pharmacy, he wouldn't have rushed to look for me while leaving Xian alone. And right now, we couldn't find him anywhere.Eltan already called his men to send out a search party. They were going through the CCTV footage around the park. Whoever took Xian even threw away the phone Eltan had given him."Shouldn't you let Alena and Elian know?" I asked hesitantly while Eltan was pacing around in front of the house.

 Chapter 39: Best For You Eltan Storm "C'mon, Faith, don't be stubborn," I huffed, grabbing a handful of clothes from the closet."No, I won't go," she declared, dumping out the clothes I just put inside the luggage."We need to go. We won't get a second appointment if we miss the first one," I reasoned out."I still won't go. Why didn't you ask me beforehand if you are so concerned about missing the appointment?""Because I knew you would say no."We were currently back home in Vegas at Faith's apartment.After we returned from New York two weeks ago, Faith saw a psychologist here since she
