All Chapters of Vows Of Hate : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Chapter 72Dante's pov The rain was pounding against the window of my study. It was a sound that usually helped me think clearly after a long day of dealing with the captains at the docks. I was sitting behind my oak desk looking at some papers but my mind was upstairs with Kayla. She was sleeping in our bed. All I could think about was her.Six months ago I would have been thinking about my guns or how to make money from the northern territory.. Now the only thing that mattered to me was Kayla. I loved her very much and the thought of her made me happy. I was rubbing my eyes and a small smile was on my face as I thought about her.Then the door of my study opened without a knock. It made me jump and the cold air that came in made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Nolan walked in. He looked really sick. His face was pale. His big frame looked small in the dim light of the desk lamp. He didn't say a word as he closed the door behind him. His boots were muddy. They left marks o

Chapter 74Dante's pov The iron crowbar fell from my fingers and hit the floor with a loud clang that echoed through the dark hallway. The power was out as the whole house was plunged into a scary darkness that felt like it was suffocating us. I was breathing hard, my chest moving up and down under my torn shirt as blood trickled down into my eye from a cut on my forehead. I did not care about the pain. I did not care about the cold sweat soaking through my clothes. The only thing that kept me going was the sound of Kayla's scream that I had heard just seconds before."Dante get behind the pillar, " Nolan yelled from the darkness below. Then I heard the sound of a handgun firing twice into the shadows. A big man in gear stumbled out from behind a marble column, his rifle falling from his hands as he crashed to the floor coughing. Jake had not just sneaked into the house he had brought a group of men to cut us off from the gate guards."Keep moving Nolan " I shouted back, my voice so

Chapter 76Dante's pov The sound of Nolan's handgun still echoed in my head as I stood in the corridor. The last mercenary had fallen to the floorboards with a thud. The mansion was quiet now the only sounds being the rain hitting the windows and my own labored breathing. My chest was heaving under my blood-stained shirt.I did not waste any time looking at the men we had just taken down. I dropped my gun onto the rug and sprinted back toward the master suite. "Nolan check the perimeter " I yelled over my shoulder, my voice hoarse from all the shouting. "Make sure the driveway is clear for the ambulance. I am getting her out now."Nolan shouted back from the top of the stairs "I am on it boss. Go, get your family." His flashlight beam cut through the smoke rolling through the hallway.I burst into the ruined bedroom. My heart was racing with a rhythm. The room was a disaster. Glass needles covered the floor. I did not care about any of it. I ran into the walk-in closet, my eyes locke

Chapter 78Dante's Pov I did not look back at the heavy iron lever of the panic room door. My knees were soaked from the pool of fluid on the floor. I did not feel the cold. All I could see was Kayla's face. Her skin was pale. Covered in sweat. Her dark curls were plastered against her forehead. Her small fingers were digging into my shoulders.The air inside the room smelled bad. It smelled of smoke and fried wires and blood.. All I could hear was Kayla's breathing. It was short and ragged."Dante I can't, " she said. Her voice was thin and weak. It cut through my chest like a knife. "I have nothing left. The pain is taking everything.""You do have it Kayla " I said. My voice was cracking. I was gripping her thighs. My hands were shaking. A tear fell from my eye. Landed on her knee. "Look at me. Just look at me. Our boy is there. You just have to give me one push. Just one.""It hurts a lot!" she screamed. Her body arched off the floor. Another contraction hit her. Her knuckles wer

Chapter 80The sound of the paramedics' voice yelling about CPR was a punch to Dante's chest. He wanted to stay in the truck. He wanted to hold his son's body and give him his own warmth.. The bad things that were happening that night would not let him."Get out of the truck sir! We need room to work!" the other medic shouted, his hands moving fast over the table. "We have to start pressing on his chest !"Dante did not say anything. His mind was spinning as he stepped back his boots hitting the wet metal step before he jumped down into the rain. The door closed behind him with a click and he was in the dark. He stood in the driveway, the water soaking his hair and washing the dry blood from his face.He could see the medics hands moving up and down through the glass of the back doors. He took one step towards the truck, his fingers curling into fists when he heard a noise from the porch.Nolan was coming out of the house holding Kayla. He was trying to keep her dry with a piece of ca
