Semua Bab Pregnant With The Billionaire's Twins : Bab 121 - Bab 130

Dacre’s povI had heard what the man has said but I kept my eyes on Katherine as she started to back into a corner.She tucked her knees into her chest and arms wrapped so tightly around herself it looked like she was trying to hold her own ribcage together. Her gaze kept flickering towards the door like it was a starving dog and she was a steak on string.I pushed myself up from the floor, hurrying over to her and crouching in front of her face. “What’s wrong? Who is that?”“That voice… it’s Marcus. The leader.”I froze and took another breath. Then it clicked, that indifferent tone, like nothing was ever at stake for him. I nodded slightly. “No wonder he’s not worried.”“Dacre, you don’t get it. You need to leave right now. If you stay, he’ll… he’ll kill both of us. He’s not going to let someone walk away.”I edged in closer. “I’m not going.”She whimpered. “Your uncle—he’s already with Marcus. If you stay, he’ll kill you. And then…” She let her words trail off, not even needing to

Dacre’s povI lunged to the side, as Marcus got startled, leaving him to shoot at me. The bullet cracked into the dusty air, burrowing through the floorboards at my feet, splinters biting my flesh.At the same instant Dante rose and clicked his jaw. The metallic sound of a pin hitting the floor seemed louder than the gunfire licking up plaster.“Grenade!” someone yelled, but by then calm thinking wasn’t an option.Chaos went off before the explosion did. The men in Marcus’s group dropped and rolled. Some bolted for the door. But not Marcus. Not at first. He stood there, his mouth hanging like he hadn’t quite absorbed the reality that Dante was enough of a psychopath to unpin a grenade with his mouth.The first grenade went off, a muffled thump as the explosion threw me to the walls. My ears rung harder than I’d ever experienced, so loud I couldn’t hear Katherine’s scream.I tried to look through the chaos as I saw her being carried away by Marcus.Before I could do anything else, anot

Dacre’s povI slowly backed away from the car with my arms raised as i spoke up.“I’m here. No tricks. No need for anything stupid.”Marcus laughed and tilted his head to the side as he frowned. He had Katherine before him like a shield. His left hand on her neck while a gun pointed to her back.“Your friend?” he asked. “Where is he?”I swallowed and kept my face as still as possible. “Left him back at the hotel. He wasn’t… moving much when I last saw him.”Marcus laughed, but he didn’t believe me for a second. Not that it mattered to him; he liked playing the game too much. “Good. Then it’s just you and me.”He shoved Katherine a little closer to him, almost like he wanted to make sure I never forgot who had the power right now. She had a scratch from her temple as I gulped. This night was one we would remember for years to come.In all my years, this night was the only one where I didn’t know if I would survive or not.Marcus dug into his pocket, pulled out another gun and tossed i

Dacre’s povThe forest was too damn quiet for all the noise. That silence that wasn’t right, like it was waiting to exhale. Breath held deep in my chest as I struggled for air, happy that everything was over.For a second, I forgot to move. Marcus lying there all spread in the dirt. He was dead.Dante was already there, standing over him, shoulders rising and falling heavy, gun still in his hand like he wasn’t ready to let go yet. His eyes didn’t blink. He just stared down at Marcus like the bastard might rise again and take another shot at us.Beside me, Katherine was trembling. I hadn’t realized how hard until I reached for her and felt her whole frame shuddering under my touch. Her breath hitched, shallow and uneven, and her eyes—her eyes were locked on Marcus’s corpse. Wide and horrified like she couldn’t look away no matter how much it broke her.I pulled her to me without thought, arms locking around her back. “It’s over,” I said against her ear. My voice cracked halfway into th

Renee’s povI stayed in bed with panic hitting me worst that anything i had ever felt. My entire body was shaking while I held the blanket closer to myself.This wasn’t supposed to happen. It wasn’t.Marcus had promised me. He swore to me. He said Katherine would disappear quietly, that Dacre wouldn’t even know what had happened till it was too late. He said Dacre wouldn’t matter, that none of them would matter.And now… now she was back in that house. Back with Dacre.“What the hell is happening…” I whispered to myself as I pressed his number and pressed the phone hard against my chest while waiting for someone to ring.Suddenly someone else picked up. “Who the hell are you?” The person said as I held my breath.I sat motionless, mouth opening and closing silently. “This is Marcus’s line. Where is he? Who are you?”My lips finally caught up with my brain. “I—I’m Renee. His—his friend. Who are you?”He scoffed. “Friend?” He chuckled. “Marcus doesn’t have friends. And right now, you’
