"Don't try to run away again, Mackenzie. You can't. You WILL not. I will chase you, capture you, and make you surrender till every part of your mind, body, and soul is mine, and mine alone." ~•~ All Mackenzie Torsney ever wanted as a loving wife was the love of her husband, and the acceptance of her mother-in-law. However, all her efforts were paid back with betrayal when she caught her husband in bed with another woman on the day she was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Devastated, Mackenzie goes to a bar to drown her pain in a bottle. There, she meets a handsome stranger, who she begs to have sex with. All hell lets loose when she finds out the handsome stranger is the most influential Axford, her husband's brother! And she is pregnant for him! Mackenzie is forced to flee from the city, from the Axfords. She would do anything to keep her twin babies away from their greedy billionaire claws. She can run, but she can't hide. Nobody hides from Chase Axford, especially not a woman he desires with every fiber of his being.

Chase and Mackenzie were not left out of the celebration. Chase hugged Mackenzie tight as they stood on the balcony of their cottage - the family's latest property in North Dakota - watching the fire works light up the sky. Little baby Emily cried in Mackenzie's arms. Mackenzie looked down at her daughter's dark eyes and blew her kisses. Soon, the baby started to smile. "Mummy, do you think Emily would have loved to scream with us?" Calista asked, tiptoeing just so she could see her little sister. Cameron turned to look at everyone, and stood beside his father. The more he grew, the more he turned into a spitting image of Chase. His father had often joked that by the time Cameron was Chase's present age, they wouldn't be able to tell their pictures apart. Emily was the only one who had resemblanc
The last few hours had been nothing but pure bliss for Mackenzie. She had never thought - not in ten light years - that she would be under the same roof with both her children, and the man she loved with everything, Chase, and they would be regarded as one…a family. She had always dreamed of it, but had given herself a million reasons to believe it could never happen. This time was different. This time, she was going to wallow in all the love she could get, because she absolutely deserved it all. As she sat on the stool and dapped her cheeks with her powder, she glanced over to her side and watched the video playing on her screen. It was from a local news tabloid, saying Selene had been arrested in her penthouse that morning, with charges of kidnap, arson and other criminal activities. She shook her head and looked back at her beautiful face. The glamourous emerald pendant that rested on her neck helped to highlight the hazel brown of her eyes, and Mackenzie found herself lost in h
As expected, Richard was discharged from the hospital the next day. He returned to meet the children, Mackenzie and Chase at home. Mackenzie had prepared lunch just in time for his arrival, and had made sure to prepare his favorite dish; lasagna. She was happy, for the first time in forever, her family was together, and she could be sure that she was safe. The children spent a greater part of their day helping their father and other stewards arrange their room. This time, Chase made sure Calista and Cameron got separate beds and wardrobes, enough room for all their things. While Cameron picked out a blue bed frame, and wanted his part of the room painted blue and furnished with blue furniture, Calista picked the color white for everything. Chase was happy to join in the painting, so the kids had to stay in the new play room while waiting for their walls to dry. At noon, Chase drove to the hospital to pick up his father and West. He was seated at the back seat of his car when he go
The next few minutes were spent trying to convince Chase to move Mackenzie and the kids over to Axford Villa.Now that Eleanor and Jeffrey would be leaving, Richard did not want to be left alone, especially with the scent of their betrayal still fresh. If he was ever going to get over it, he needed his family - the one that truly loved him, and the one he could trust, by his side. Alas, after seeing the true pain his father was in, and knowing Eleanor and Jeffrey would no longer be present, and receiving a nod of agreement from Mackenzie - of course - Chase agreed to his father's wishes and decided he would head back to his pent house and pack their things as soon as he was done seeing West. Felicity arrived in the hospital and stayed with Mackenzie and the kids while Chase left to speak to his cousin. Calista was sleeping in Mackenzie's arms while Cameron shared the bed with his grand father. "So, I guess you'll be moving in with him now, one big family." Felicity said aloud, caus
They arrived at the hospital less than twenty minutes later and Calista was rushed to the ER on a stretcher. Chase and Mackenzie remained by her side every step of the way, not leaving her for a single second. While Chase held her right hand and stood by her right, Mackenzie held on to her left hand.She still had tears in her eyes, and despite the huge brown blanket worn over her shoulders, shook violently with cold. While she was being examinded by the doctor for any external injuries or after effects of the shock, Mackenzie could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes. Sure, Calista was with them now, but what if…what if they had failed? What if she had been taken away? What if something bad had happened?Her father always said having a child means having your heart on legs. She fully understood his words now.Chase noticed this and put his hand over her shoulder. He pulled her closer to himself and rubbed his nose against the skin of her neck, soothing her, calming her. He to
The world around Mackenzie was crumbling at an alarming rate. She tried to hold onto something - Chase's legs, the window, the driver's seat, but nothing was enough. She sat up, forcing herself to suck in deep breaths while Chase continued to bark orders into his phone's speaker. The roof of the car began to spin around her head. The car was moving so fast, she thought she would have to throw her head out of the window and puke on the road. Hyperventilating while tears burned her eyes, she didn't know what to do. She buried her face into her palms and fought hard to muffle her scream. Sweat poured from her face and formed a nasty pool on her neck. She threw her head backwards and closed her eyes, parted her lips and forced herself to suck in air. "Chase…what are we going to do? You…you heard them…" Her trembling fingers reached for his right leg and she tapped on it continuously. He turned to look at her, his eyes were a dark shade of red, and she could see his tears glitter in the
Mackenzie's jaw dropped in horror. She glanced down at the phone that rested on her thighs, before raising her gaze to meet with Chase's dark ones. Her throat had gone dry immediately she heard the mention of death and daughter IN THE SAME SENTENCE. She held the phone up and frowned at Chase, panicking. "Why did you end the call? We could have been able to…" "We can't track the call. Whoever it is, the person was smart enough to make use of a burner phone." Chase replied, turning to look at her. He could see her panic stricken eyes dance all over his face. She was losing her mind, and he knew it. He needed to hold himself together for her, for Cameron too. Only the heavens knew how badly he wanted to punch the glass windows of his car until they all shattered into pieces. "Oh God." She muttered underneath her breath, throwing her head against her seat and sinking further into the leather. Chase sucked in a deep breath, before placing his right hand on hers. He squeezed her knuckle
He brushed her loose strands of hair to the back of her eyes. With his thumbs, he erased her tears from her cheeks, and tilted her face up with her chin, so he could kiss her cheeks without going too low. "We are searching for the people who took Calista away right now. My men are on to them. I was in the office when I was called that the kids school was on fire, and the CCTV camera caught someone taking Calista." "Oh my God!" Mackenzie exclaimed. Her hands flew to her mouth as she cried. Chase's heart shrunk in his chest. She had no idea how it broke him to see her like that. He held her hands and pulled them away from her face. "Look at me, Kenzie." But she couldn't, not when her both eyes were flooded with tears. "We caught sight of the plate number, and my men are tailing the car down as we speak. We would get Cally back, Mackenzie. I promise you." She wanted, no…she needed to trust him, and she knew this. He was hurting as much as she did, she could tell from the redness of
