Danielle's POV This morning, I feel like some type of hero going on a rescue mission or should I say a quest to save a life. Apart from the fact that I am going to wherever Alex called it to save my best friend, I feel like I would do this for anyone if I get the chance to. I sighed and looked at the map Alex stretched on his table in the bar. He already sent everyone and changed the sign outside from open to closed. He was being nice suspiciously and that didn't feel right. I killed that thought and focused on how we were going to help Clara out. I told the kids and Pa that we were going on adult exercise. Pa thought we were going to the club or for some 18+ party. We dressed like it, hoping no one would notice we were going on a quest. A quest, that's what I call it. That's what I want it to be called. I could feel the enthusiasm flow through my veins with my blood. I wanted to explore this part of living and see what the journey would hold. "I sent on

Bryan's POVThe kids called me into a dark hallway, hushing me every time I tried to speak. When we got to a more silent place. They let go of my arms and murmured among themselves. I cleared my throat and looked at them.“hmm, about where mom went with uncle, I heard she was trying to go to see somewhere,” Ella, the one with my eyes spoke.I bent down and looked at them, “what do you mean?” I asked.Mila played with my shirt buttoning and unbuttoning the wrist. “Last night, mom and uncle were in the room together overnight, they were talking about how to attack a place and save someone named Clara.”“She's not sure though, I’m not sure Mom would ever go somewhere without telling us,” Lila said.Danielle was in the room alone with Gabriel? Why did I find that more threatening than the fact that they went to look for someone? Wait, I need to think more about it. “Is something bothering you, Bigger Uncle?” Ella asked. When I looked up, I found them staring at me with so much worry wri

Danielle's POV I opened my eyes slowly, trying to clear off my blurry vision. My head hurts, my body aches. I could hear the sounds of my kids playing around. When I finally opened my eyes totally, I looked around and nothing was familiar. Where am I? I could still hear the chuckles of my kids but they were nowhere to be found. I was in a room, painted white. Almost everything in the room was white. Am I dead? Is this paradise? Or this heaven? If so, why doesn't it look like anything we were taught on earth? I sat up and found a drip connected to one of my veins on the back of my left hand. Am I sick in heaven? I wasn't making any sense. I managed to sit up and put my feet on the ground. "Mila? Ella? Lila?" I called out. I can't be dead, I can't be hearing things. I have kids to protect and I still have a life to live. What exactly happened out there? The last thing I remembered was that I was attacked with Clara beside me. There was a gunshot…that was all. Was I shot? I ch

Bryan. As the gods would have it, Danielle didn't pull back. Her fists on my pajamas were strong and her kiss was filled with pleasure. She was speaking silent words to me but I still couldn't grab it. I ached for her, I wanted more of this and that. I want to have her and take her to the whole world. Sliding my hands through her back and getting a hold of her waist, she rested on the couch without breaking the kiss. Her hands left my dress and found their way to my hands. Her gentle massage and caress made me at ease. I have her at my disposal, she is all mine now. I caressed her and tried to cup her breasts with my hand but I couldn't. Her soft moans of pleasure were driving me insane. I stopped her and stared into her eyes. These eyes…I've seen them before, somewhere I cannot remember. Her gray eyes looked more familiar than they had ever been since I knew her. "What is wrong?" She asked. "Did I do something wrong?" I shook my head and sat up. "I don't want to go any fur

Bryan's POV Chapter Seventy-Nine.Bryan. "I want you to check what exactly happened there that day. I know she would only want to tell me the part she wants me to know but I need every detail starting from what Clara did to who and why and who kidnapped her. I want to know every bit of information that has to do with that incident," I said to Jack with my index finger pointed to his nose. It can't be all a coincidence. I trusted Gabriel to keep her safe but I don't think I can do that anymore. Why wasn't he with her? Where did he go? I shook my head and paced around the room like a caged beast on the brick of bursting loose. With my hands on my hips, I wondered who might have made all of those things happen. I paused and stared out the window. Could it be Mark? Did he want to have her for himself with force? "Sir, I'll get back to you tomorrow, very early with every information you need to know. Can I be dismissed?" Jack's voice was deeper than it used to be. "Did you take care
