Emma
I say a lingering good-bye to each of the boys but Jayden lungs setting up a laptop on Devaro's desk. He pulls up a program and a microphone before turning to me. .*)
"You'll be able to hear everything through this. I hacked into as many cameras around the area as I could, so you can see everything." He starts to explain. .°)
I'm speechless. I had no idea how handy he was with all this computer stuff, but it's a perfect time to find out. At least this way I can keep a lookout for all my guys and my crew
"You can talk to all of us through here. Okay?" I nod and he moves to leave but I grab his arm before he can get far
"You better come back. Don't make me raise our baby without you, got it?" I say and a soft smile forms on his lips and my chest tightens in worry. I?)
I can't lose him. I can't lose any of them, but he is my baby's father and
I could not bear it if he never gets to meet the little miracle we created
He moves closer and takes my face into both of his hands and I feel tears fighting to fall
Chapter 84
"I will never leave you. I am going to be there the moment our baby comes into this world." He says and I reach out so I can pull myself closer to him
He lets me wrap my arms around him tightly and he holds me firmly against his chest
"Promise?" I ask softly
"I promise. None of us are dying today." He says and I relax into his warmth knowing there is no way he can truly promise that but hoping he's right. (J
I can't lose anyone else. This is my second chance to have a family, and I can't lose it
I turn my head so I can bury my face into his chest and breath him in
"I have to go now, but I'll be back. Wait for me okay?" He asks moving away from me just enough to look down at me again. \'
"Okay," I say before he lowers his head to place a searing kiss on my lips
I reluctantly let him go and watch as he disappears into the hallway
Another figure steps in as soon as he leaves and I can't help but smile
at who it is
"What are you still doing here?" I ask Tony
Chapter 84
He smiles and steps further into the room. "I am your personal guard Miss Emma."
I furrow my brow. "Won't Devaro need you?"
"He knows I would rather protect you, so I have been asked to stay
Don't worry Miss Emma, I'm exactly where I need to be. Congratulations on the baby by the way." He says and I feel a warmth in my chest for his protection. 1°)
He is definitely my favorite of Devaro's men and we have formed a bond that makes me glad that he is the one here with me through all this
I let out a deep breath and take my seat behind Devaro's chair and focus my attention on the screen of Jayden''s laptop
"Team 5 ready." I hear someone say and several other voices chiming in with their call-in names
"Let's teach these boys a lesson. No one causes havoc in our city." Devaro says and the rest of the men are all out in the agreementBelongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
I watch the cameras set up outside of the building and see all the vehicles pull out. The feed switches to what looks like dash cameras, and I mentally check that each of my boys is accounted for
They all fall silent. It's s if all of us are holding our breath waiting to see what we are really up against. Some of my men ahead reported a group of Zane's men had met at a stash house to collect gear and weapons
Chapter 84
This is the first time in days where they aren't causing unnecessary chaos. If I had to guess, someone has filled in Zane's role and has pulled ranks. I?
"Guys we have our first visual," Asher says and I click on his camera feed and immediately see what he's talking about. A gas station about a mile ahead of him is burning
"Is anyone around? Bodies?" Devaro asks
"From here I see two." He says
"Damn. Why would they hit that spot?" Logan asks
"The owners were under my protection," Devaro says. "They are not going voter us directly. Cowards." I?)
"Should we check on any others they may go after?" Leo asks
They are all driving in separate cars with four men in each SUV

"I hate to do this but no. It's likely a trap. They want to draw us to specific locations and pick us off one by one." Devaro explains and I have to agree with him
"What is that?" A voice shouts from Asher's car, one of the men with him starts to move frantically and pulls out one of his weapons
Shouting and chaos start to erupt over all the camera feeds and I scramble to pick up what they are all saying. Before I can all the video
Chapter 84
feeds go black but audio remains
"Guys, what the hell is happening?" I growl into the microphone
A jumble of replies comes in one over the other. "I can't understand you!" I yell into the microphone but they keep talking like they can't hear me
Worry and fear start to bubble up inside me and I look up at Tony. He pulls out his cell phone and starts to call someone while it tries again to make out something from the voices I'm hearing
"Hold position!" I hear and I'm pretty sure that's Asher's voice. "Get down now!"
The sound of shots and screaming starts to filter through louder than the voices like someone has stepped right into the middle of a battlefield
"No one is answering," Tony says when he moves back to my side. \') "What do we do?" I ask
"We have a few men here keeping guard, we can send them but it will leave us unprotected." He offers
We both know doing that would be too high, but we have limited choices right now. The guys need help
"How secure is the building?' I ask
Chapter 84
"Bulletproof glass through the entire building, cameras, and sensors near every entrance, remote lockdown for each floor." He says going on to list a few more extreme ways the building is the safest place to be
right now
"Send the men, and lock this place down," I tell him and he nods before walking out of the office
It is only a few minutes later that I lose audio, and I'm completely cut
off from knowing what's going on in the city
A robotic voice starts to echo around the building. "Lockdown procedures in effect! Make your way to the nearest safe room."
I stand and head toward the office door to close it but I stop when I see a man with his arm around Tony's neck and a gun to his head

"Well well...what have we here? You must be Emma. I have heard a lot about you." The man purrs. "Let's have a little chat inside shall we?" He purrs and I notice his thick accent
Russian
I step back and let him into the room but I keep my eyes focused on Tony. He's telling me not to lock myself in the office with this man, but I ignore his warning looks. There is no way I'm leaving him alone, and when he realizes that he clenches his eyes shut
"What do you want?" I growl out
Chapter 84 The man laughs. "I am here for my payment." He says with a smile that
makes my blood run cold
"And what payment is that?" I ask even though I know if he's here, then
his payment must be....me
Why would Zane promise me to the Russians though? Man, I hate that guy
"You princess. You are my payment, and I always collect." He lets out a growl of some kind and then pulls the trigger
I scream as I watch Tony's limp form fall to the ground. I"
"Oh god. Tony!" I cry out running toward him and trying to wake him even though I already know he's gone. I'
The man laughs, and I lift my eyes to see the gun pointed at me. My hand moves slowly until I can wrap my hand around the cool metal of Tony's gun that he kept strapped to his hip
"Now, stand up and let's go. My men have your people scrambling to save themselves, so there is no one to stop me from taking whats mine
Get. Up." He growls and I do. \
I stand and watch his arm move as I do to keep the gun one me as I
rise. (2)
"I'm not going anywhere with you." I yell but he just smiles at me like
he already knows he won
He has made a big mistake and I am filled with burning satisfaction that hes underestimated me, because that will make this far sweeter
When I raise Tony's gun and point it at him he laughs
I take a second to look down at Tony and when I do red hot fury comes over me and when I look back up at the Russian all I see is red. A cold calmness runs through me as remove the safety on the gun and pull the trigger."
