Chapter 91-The Price of Protection

POV: Nichole"I am not giving you the entire company, Rex," Xavier said with his voice loud enough for Rex to know that he is serious. "We agreed to share the ports and we did not agree to let you run the firm like a dictatorship."Rex did not back down but rather he stood with his boots planted firmly on the floor. "The board will not listen to you anymore, Xavier. You brought a street war to the city office. They want a strong hand, and that is me."I watched them argue from the bottom of the stairs and the heavy air of the mansion made me feel trapped. They were shouting about millions of dollars and executive power, but all I could think about was the safety of my baby. The wealth around us felt like a weight that was pulling us under.I walked over to Xavier and pulled him away from his cousin by his sleeve. We stepped into a quiet corner near the tall windows."Look at me, Xavier," I whispered as I took his hand, and his knuckles were still tight from anger. "Do not lose yourse

Chapter 92- The kidnapping

POV: NicholeA heavy black cloth slammed over my face. I gasped, but the rough fabric cut off my breathing instantly.I kicked my legs out hard, my boot striking a solid metal door panel."Hold her arms and tie the straps around her ankles!" a man shouted. His voice was completely different from the guards at Rex’s estate.I twisted my body, trying to shake off the thick grip on my wrists. My fingers clawed at the air, ripping a loose thread from someone’s jacket and I felt a sharp pinch in my shoulder, the cold bite of a needle. The garage floor spun beneath my feet, and my knees buckled into the dirt.Mira leaned over the back seat of the getaway van, her face twisted with a crazy smile. "I warned you bitch. Now you will know what I'm made of.” She smirked. “Before the board meeting ends and Xavier realizes that his little angel is gone."The tires screeched against the gravel road, throwing my limp body against the metal floorboards. My mind fought against the heavy darkness of th

Chapter 93- Xavier’s Fury

POV: XavierI stormed into the room and the heavy wooden side door tore off its hinges with a loud, splintering crash under the weight of my boot. The rain and wind rushed into the dark, hollow belly of the abandoned fish warehouse, but the storm outside was nothing compared to the whirlwind of pure rage burning in my chest."Find her!" I roared into the dark as my voice echoed off the high tin ceiling.Immediately my eyes scanned through the shadows, cutting through the smell of rust and wet dirt until they locked onto the single bright light bulb hanging in the center of the hall. Behold, Nichole was there and she was tied tightly to a heavy wooden chair, with her clothes torn and her face pale under the harsh light."Get him!" Mira’s voice shrieked from the darkness near the loading dock. "Do not let him near the chair!"Three of her hired thugs lunged out from behind the rusted shipping crates. The first man was huge, his boots pounding against the concrete as he swung a thick ir

Chapter 94 - The Hospital Confrontation

POV: NicholeThe blue and red lights of the police cars finally faded into the dark mountain fog behind us. Xavier swerved the SUV into the private emergency bay of the Vance Memorial Hospital, his tires screeching on the wet pavement."Get a doctor out here now!" Xavier shouted, throwing his door open before the engine even stopped.Three doctors and two nurses ran through the sliding glass doors, pushing a white rolling bed and Xavier lifted me out of the passenger seat. His arms were shaking, and I could feel the heat of his blood soaking through his torn black coat where Mira had hit him with the iron bar. He laid me gently on the cold white sheets."The patient is thirty-four weeks pregnant," Xavier told the head doctor with his voice tight and breathless as he walked fast alongside the doctor. "She was held in an abandoned warehouse and they used a sedative on her four hours ago.""We have her, Mr. Vance," the doctor said, pushing the double doors open into a bright, sterile cor

Chapter 95-The Weight Of Silence

POV: Xavier“Fuck I'm finished” I proclaimed leaning hard against the wall.The heavy wooden door of Room 412 clicked shut, and the sound felt like a prison lock.I stood in the sterile, white corridor of the hospital wing, my back pressed against the cold plaster wall as my shoulder blades burned where Mira’s iron bar had struck me, but that physical ache was nothing compared to the hollow pain freezing in my chest.‘I’d lost her,’ I thought, staring down at my hands. My knuckles were still split from the warehouse fight, stained with dirt and old oil from the docks. ‘I killed the only clean thing in my life because I was too weak to tell her the truth before my enemies did.’"Xavier," a voice called me from the end of the hallway. I looked up and it was my mother who was walking toward me, her left arm wrapped tightly in a white surgical sling. Rex walked a step behind her, holding a thick leather folder under his arm and their faces were both tense, but still carrying the adrenal

Chapter 96- The Collapse Of The Empire

POV: (Xavier)When we got there.I kicked the metal door and the lock broke with a loud bang as rain rushed into Raymond’s old office, and wet mud covered the floor. Outside, the headlights of Rex’s car cut through the dark night."We have twelve minutes," Rex shouted as he shined a bright flashlight on the peeling walls. "Pendelton’s guards are coming!"I dropped to my knees by the old water heater and my back hurt from the fight at the warehouse, but I did not stop. I dug my fingers into the wet dirt behind the tank and my hand hit a small box. I ripped it open and pulled out a heavy brass key."I have it," I said as the loud crash shook the room. The front window shattered into a thousand pieces of flying glass and two black cars blocked the alley outside. Three men stepped into the rain holding short guns. They wore the dark uniform of Pendelton’s private security."Drop the key, Vance!" a man yelled through a loud megaphone. "The board owns this property now!”"No, they don't,"

Chapter 97-The Final Countdown

POV: Nichole(Nine months Later)I pressed my right palm against my stomach and the baby kicked hard beneath my skin. I am nine months pregnant now and my body feels very heavy and slow.Xavier sat next to me on the wide wooden bench by the glass window. He reached out and placed his large hand over mine. He did not speak but his eyes moved constantly, looking across the open lawn and the iron fence at the edge of the property. The trees stood still in the gray afternoon light and the Vance Tower was miles away. Raymond lived there now as he held the keys to the office. We lived in this house on the hill.Xavier stood up and walked to the front door. He checked the deadbolt lock three times and he pulled the thick brown curtains shut, blocking out the light from the yard. He kept his security radio on his belt which the small green light on the radio flashed every five seconds."The guards are at the outer gate," Xavier said a he looked at my stomach. "They will stay there all night."

Chapter 98- A Life Interrupted

POV: NicholeWe are heading to the hospital already as the third contraction bent my body in half and my fingers dug deep into the leather of the front passenger seat. I did not scream. I just forced the air out of my teeth in a sharp hiss.Xavier hit the gas pedal and the SUV jumped forward onto the wet asphalt of the mountain road. His knuckles were white on the steering wheel. He looked at the rearview mirror every three seconds."We will get there soon,” Xavier said.Then suddenly, a black sedan turned behind us at the crossroads which had no license plates."Keep driving please," I said as another wave of pain squeezed my lower back. I grabbed his right wrist and my skin was wet with sweat.In the backseat, Nurse Anya sat perfectly still with her blue medical bag resting between her white shoes. Her face was blank and calm. She did not look at the window but rather kept her eyes on the digital timer in her hand."The contractions are three minutes apart, Nichole," Anya said wi

Chapter 99-The Postpartum Peril

POV: (Xavier)It has been two days now since we got back to the hospital. The room was quiet and my new daughter made a soft, sweet sound against Nichole’s chest. The small baby felt like a tiny bird, warm and very light and Nichole held her tight and did not look away from our baby's face. My baby was tired and her eyes were wide open.I stood by the window, my body tense like a tight wire as I looked at every corner of the room. I looked at the shadow behind the door. I could not relax and my jaw hit hard against my teeth.Earlier, I had ripped the small red tracking chip from the plastic baby basket and broke it with my boot. My heart was full of cold, dark anger because the syndicate had ruined our happy day and we were not safe here.The door opened and Nichole's friend Elena walked in. Her face looked old and full of worry as she walked straight to the bed and looked at the baby, then she looked at Nichole's worn out face."Are you okay?" Elena whispered with her voice thick a

Chapter 100- The Escape Plan

POV: (Xavier)A few minutes later after that, I packed the baby's extra clothes into a dark bag as my hands moved fast. I checked the hallway through the small crack in the door and I saw two guards standing outside, but I did not trust their faces anymore."We can’t stay here, Xavier," Nichole whispered from the bed as she clutched our sleeping daughter against her chest. Her face was very white, as her voice shook. "They will come back and they will try to hurt her again."I walked over and touched her soft hair. My heart felt heavy because leaving the hospital was a big risk. The baby was only one day old, and Nichole was still very weak from giving birth. But staying in this room meant we were sitting ducks for the harm to come."I know," I said as I looked into her scared eyes. "We leave tonight and we would not wait for the morning."Nichole nodded her head as she swung her legs out of the bed slowly, holding the baby tight and winced from the pain in her body, but she did not
