Mob Daddies: A Contemporary Romance Box Sex
Page 42
“Why?” I ask. My blood is cold at the idea of Hannah in danger. And I’m still reeling from the other news Carl gave me this morning. When he searched her room last night, he found a positive pregnancy test.
“Because Brayden is supposed to be here. And if he isn’t here….”
I’m up and halfway to the door before Charles Finch can finish his sentence. And all I can think is that now I might lose her and the baby before I have a chance to make things right.
Chapter 22
Hannah
Brayden Finch stands in front of me with a knife.
I’d spent the night at Kiki’s, crying my eyes out like the idiot I am for getting involved with Boston’s biggest bastard. How could I be dumb enough to fall for Dax Hardin? Kiki assured me that we’d figure everything out together, that she’d help me with the baby, but I don’t think I’ll ever truly be okay again. I’d let myself love him, and it was the biggest mistake I’d ever made.
Shortly after I returned to my apartment, I heard a knock at the door, I’d thought for sure it would be Dax, so I flung the door open without even checking the peephole. Maybe that was my biggest mistake. When I opened the door it was Brayden on the other side and he shoved me back and slammed the door behind him, deadbolting it. Looks like my landlord finally got around to fixing the busted lock during my time away. Lucky me.
“What the hell are you doing?” I ask, holding out my hands as if to create a barrier between me and my clearly psychotic half-brother. Samson begins to bark and growl.
Brayden takes a step toward me, his face flush with rage. “Hey, Sis.”
I feel a lurch of deep panic in my stomach. Until this moment I didn’t even know he was aware of my existence. Brayden takes another step toward me and I back up, trying to keep a safe distance between me and the knife he’s holding.
“Brayden, I don’t know what your issue is, but I don’t want anything to do with your family or your family’s money, okay. I swear. Is that the problem?” I ask. “Put the knife down and we can talk about this. We can get it in writing if that’s what you want, I’ll sign whatever.”
“Shut up!” he yells. “Just shut the fuck up! I’m not going to let you near my family or my company. You’re not a Finch and you never will be. You think you can just pop up, out of the blue and take what’s mine… what I’ve been working for my whole life? You and your fucking boyfriend are a giant pain in my ass. I messed up hiring Nico and I felt bad about what happened to his wife, but that bastard Dax won’t stop. He’s out to destroy us. And then I find out about you. But you really helped me out by seducing him, you fucking slut. Now I can get rid of you and take something from him all at the same time.”
Samson continues to bark loudly and my head swirls from the noise and commotion. Suddenly the door bursts open and without warning Brayden makes a lunge for me. Samson goes for his ankle and sinks his teeth deep into his leg, causing Brayden to cry out in pain. I take the opportunity to do what I learned in self-defense class. I punch him hard in the face and then kick him in the groin. He drops the knife and falls to the ground just as Dax rushes in and takes me in his arms. Carl hurries in after with Hans and the two of them lug Brayden out of the small apartment.
Dax is holding me and stroking my hair as I just stand there as still as a statue. I’m trying desperately to process what just happened. When I finally come to, I look up at Dax. I know I should still be angry with him, but if he’s willing to forgive me, I guess I should do the same.
“I told you I could land a punch,” I say.
“Remind me never to get you angry.”
“Too late,” I laugh. “Does this mean you figured out I’m not a spy?”
He glances at my stomach and then at my face. “I figured out a lot of things. Like what I want,” he says. “What I want even more than revenge.”
“So, what does the Bastard of Boston want?” I ask.
“You,” he says. “The Bastard of Boston wants you. Forever.”
Epilogue
Dax
The Bastard of Boston is officially a father of two, and I couldn’t be happier. Hannah and I just brought the baby home from the hospital last week - a boy, dark hair and chubby checks, he’s the newest love of my life. I don’t think Lily could be any more in love with him either, we even let her name him – Ivan, after one of her favorite ballet dancers.
Hannah and I were married in a small private ceremony just a week after the Brayden incident. I didn’t want to wait anymore; I was sure of what I wanted. I needed to make it official.
Hannah looked so beautiful that day in her simple, white dress – with Lily right beside her, a crown of flowers woven into her curly locks. I’m finally able to give Lily the family she’s always deserved and I’m watching her blossom into the most well-adjusted little girl I’ve ever known. This is the childhood I wanted her to have. This is the childhood I never had.
I never did go through with the Systems Industries takeover, but a few months later Charles Finch was busted for insider trading and his assets were seized. Maybe he’ll be joining his darling son, Brayden, in prison soon. Finch will lose everything, and I didn’t even have to take it from him.
I have all that I need now. The love of my life and the city of Boston.
