POV Bella Masterson His face lost all expression and he gripped the steering wheel as if he were strangling someone in his head and I was hoping it wasn’t me. That video. That fucking video has hung over my head for five years! They told me I had to do it or they would kill Xander. I had no idea that they tried to kill him anyway and that he was in a coma for five years. All this time I had thought he was off with some woman living it up on an island. The guilt that hit me when he told me the truth was unbearable. So here we were in the parking lot still talking. I had told him about the video and that I was blindfolded. I remembered hearing them with her; she was my body double. I could hear their moans and breathing. Yes, they fucked her with me in the room. I remembered Weston touching me and telling me that once he was through he would have the evidence needed and that I would be transported back home. When I arrived I tried to talk to my grandfather but he had disowned me, said

POV Xander Saint As she left the room I watched her ass. I knew I was going to fuck her in that dress once everything was over. I shook my head at my thoughts. My best friend and kids were with a fucking sadistic prick and I was thinking about how bad I wanted to fuck Bella. What was wrong with me? After the door was closed and everyone was present we continued our meeting. I took off my suit jacket that was stained with Shane’s blood and took a seat. “ Weston has Nate,” I began and they all looked at me. “ Nate? I-Is he OK?” They asked and I looked at them. “ I don’t know. Weston killed Bruce in the past and I fear the worst.” They all looked down and AJ began to ask questions and I explained what I could then paused. “ There’s something else.” “ What else could be worse than Nate being held by Weston?” Chad questioned and I cleared my throat. “ He has my kids, too.” “ What?” Both AJ and Chad asked in unison. “ I’m a father. Bella and I have twins. A boy and a girl.” I said as I

POV Bella Masterson I watched as Thorne walked out of the house holding on to the twins’ hands. He came towards the squad car I was sitting in and nervously biting my nails waiting to hear word. As soon as he was in my view I opened the door and ran to them, throwing my arms around them and kissing them, holding them close. As I picked up Natalia and squeezed her tears streamed down my cheeks. There was no time for a reunion as we were whisked away in the ambulance. My children were dehydrated and needed to be taken to the hospital where they each had an intravenous put in and were placed on around the clock surveillance, not because of their health but because Weston had escaped and the authorities worried he may try something. “ So Weston got away?” I asked Thorne. He wouldn’t leave our side. He put all of us in the same wing including Nate and doubled the security around us. “ Yeah, it appears so.” He answered and sat next to the bed looking in on our twins. He had gotten hit in

POV Xander Saint “ Because I love you, Alexander.” She answered and I felt my heart beat faster. Bella ‘s declaration hit me hard and before I could stop myself I picked her up and spun her around, placing her back on her feet as I smashed my lips with hers as I claimed her in front of the hospital staff. The kiss turned into something wild and I left her mouth and traveled down her neck, nibbling and sucking causing her to try to muffle a moan but I heard her and hearing her cries made me think of getting her alone and having my way with her. “ We should probably go back in before I take you right here in the hallway.” I teased as I kissed her cheek and grabbed her ass before walking back into the room hand in hand. Bella looked at me and then sat next to the twins. “ Natalia, Nicholas, This is Alexander Saint, your father.” She told them as she gently pulled me closer to them. I smiled and put up my hand to shake theirs. Natalia looked at me and practically jumped into my arms, h

POV Bella Masterson I couldn’t believe his father. He had ordered the children all new items, new toys, new clothing, new furniture. He was making up for five years. “ I have something to show you, Bella.” Xander said as he took my hand and pulled me along with him. As we neared the bedroom I was wondering what exactly he planned.He walked up to the door and he had replaced all the doors with new locks, ones very hightech that you needed a thumbprint to get into. “ When it comes to yours and the children’s safety I will do anything. Now, it may look a little overboard,” he began, “ but I think it’s a peace of mind. This way no one can enter our home without a thumb print or hand scan.” Overboard? Yes, it is very overboard. It looked like something you’d see in a spy movie. I wasn’t sure how I felt about all of this. I understand protecting us but this? “ Bella, It was either this or guns.” He answered as if he already knew my feelings about the whole matter. Quickly I was pulled
