All Chapters of Married To My Gay Bestfriend : Chapter 151 - Chapter 158

Eve's POV The news of the explosion reached me at dawn. I was in the cabin with the boys, still waiting for word from Devin and Solomon's team, when Mark's voice crackled through the secure line. His words were clipped and urgent, the kind of voice a man uses when he is trying very hard to hold himself together. "The compound is gone. The whole thing went up in flames. Voss rigged the entire property with explosives and triggered them when our team breached the perimeter." My heart stopped. "Devin. Is Devin okay?" "He is alive. He made it out. Most of the team did. But Voss is dead. He was standing on the roof when the charges went off. There is nothing left of him but ash." I closed my eyes and let the relief wash over me. Devin was alive. The boys still had their father. But the relief was short-lived, because I knew what Voss's death meant. The mastermind was gone, but his network was still out there, and his final act had been one of destruction. He had chosen to die ra

Eve's POVThe call came at two in the morning.I was awake, sitting in the rocking chair in the nursery with Theodore in my arms and Sebastian asleep in his crib. The cabin was quiet, the only sound the soft creak of the old timbers settling in the cold. My phone buzzed on the side table, and the name on the screen made my heart stop.Solomon.I answered on the first ring. "Tell me he is alive.""He is alive. But there was an explosion. Devin was caught in the blast. He is being airlifted to a hospital in the city as we speak."The words hit me like a physical blow. I felt the world tilt, and I clutched Theodore tighter, as if holding him could anchor me to something solid. "How bad?""Burns on his back and arms. A concussion. Possible internal bleeding. The doctors are still assessing the damage. But he is conscious and talking, which is a good sign.""Who did this? Was it Alexei?"There was a long pause. "Alexei is dead. He triggered the explosion with himself inside the blast radiu

Devin's POVThe black car stayed in the rearview mirror for three miles before it finally turned off the highway.I did not relax until it disappeared from sight. Even then, my hands stayed tight on the steering wheel and my eyes kept flicking to the mirrors, watching for any sign that we were being followed. The road ahead wound through the mountains, the trees thick and dark on either side. Eve sat in the back seat with the boys, her voice low and soothing as she fed Theodore a bottle."Whoever was in that car, they did not follow us," she said, reading my mind as she always did."For now. But they know we are on the move. They will try to find us again.""Then we make sure they cannot. We disappear. Completely."The old man's cabin was even more remote than I had expected. It sat at the end of a long dirt road, surrounded by dense forest and a frozen pond that gleamed in the winter sunlight. There was no electricity and no running water, just a wood stove and a hand pump and a stac

Eve's POVSebastian's cry cuts through the house like a siren.I lift him from the bassinet, his tiny body rigid with distress, and press him against my shoulder. He screams into my neck, his fists beating against my collarbone. Across the room, Theodore watches from his bouncy seat with wide, worried eyes. He stopped eating two hours ago. His bottle sits on the counter, curdled and forgotten."Shh," I whisper, pacing the length of the small living room. "Shh, baby, I have got you."He does not stop. He never stops anymore.The walls press in. The windows are covered with heavy blankets, blocking out the gray winter light, and the single lamp in the corner casts shadows that shift and dance with every step I take. I have not left this house in eleven days. I have not breathed fresh air or seen the sky or spoken to another human being besides Devin and Priya.Devin.He is in the kitchen, his back to me, phone pressed to his ear. His voice is low and urgent, the same tone he has used fo
