Courtney POV.
TWO WEEKS LATER!
Waking to the sound of Amelia staring in her crib. I open my eyes and stretch, looking at the
empty side of the bed. Amelia cries and I’m up and out of bed to pick her up.
“Good morning, my little angel.” I coo at her and she I watching me with her beautiful green
and gold eyes. I chuckle as she grips my finger as I walk us back to the bed and climb up and adjust myself before I feed her.
The only sound is her breathing as I watch her drinking from me. I smile softly as I get
comfortable. That night was crazy, and all I wanted to do was get back here to her. We still
haven’t decided what to do about Storm and, of course, our living situation. We can’t live with
Katya and Havoc for too long and I really would like to have my own space.
I won’t move into the clubhouse. I can’t move to the ranch. It is too far away and I certainly
can’t go
back to the house. So I need to look elsewhere. Then there is Kaden and his club. He
has his own responsibilities. We need to find a work–life balance. But can there ever be
balance? Because our work is our life.
Too much to be thinking about the moment I open my eyes. Especially before I have had
breakfast. But never mind once this little one has had her feed, bath and is dressed for the
day. I will then have my breakfast.
I reach for my phone and dial Kaden’s number. It’s odd he is usually here to check up on us
both. All the feeding and trying to get into a routine has completely tuckered out. But no
matter, this is home for now and we will have a routine soon enough.
He doesn’t answer. So I sigh and place the phone down just as little miss releases my n****e
and I sit her up and rub her back and wait for her to burp or fart either way she is awake and
alert. Once she has burped, I lift her and kiss her cheek.
“Ok little lady, time for a bath.” I say as I hold her to my shoulder as I move off the bed and
head into the closet where some of her clothes are hanging and grab what I need. Before I
head to the bathroom and fill the bath with water and a little bit of baby bath bubbles. I
change her and hum a song to her as we wait for her bath to be ready.
Once Amelia is clean and dressed, I carry her back into the bedroom. Still no sign of Kaden.
He must be busy. I place Amelia back down to have a nap while I get a shower and get

dressed for the day.
I called and text Kaden again before I entered the shower and he didn’t respond. What’s the
betting he has left his phone on silent? I chuckle.
Stripping down, I enter the shower and get to work, making myself clean. Once I’m clean and
my hair is shampooed, I leave the shower and quickly get dried and dressed. Humming, I place the dirty washing into the hamper and grab my phone again, and I frown. Ok something isn’t right. He would have at least checked and responded, but he hadn’t.
I walk back into the bedroom and stop in my tracks. Sitting in my nursing chair is Storm, and
in his arms is Amelia.
“Jesus Storm, you scared me. What are you doing in here?” I ask, not taking my eyes from
him. When I see a slight movement and my eyes dart to his hand and he has a gun pointed at
- me. Oh, for f**k’s sake.
“Well, I was coming to speak to you, but you were in the shower. I will say this Courtney giving
birth has given you some gorgeous curves.” He says and my skin crawls. I chuckle to ease the
tension.
“Thanks, Kaden seems to like them too.” I say, watching as his jaw ticks and I walk over to
him and look at him and he raises an eyebrow as I lift Amelia from his arms. I walk her back
to her crib and turn to face him and he just sits there and watches me.
“I wouldn’t hurt her, Courtney. After all, she is a part of you. So precious.” He says with his
southern drawl.
“Yet you had her in your arms with a gun in her free hand. So cut the s**t, Storm. Why are you
really here?” I ask him and he smirks before he stands and I don’t back down. I watch as he
stalks closer to me. He reaches for my face and I turn my head away from him when he grabs
my throat and forces me back against the wall.
“I thought it was obvious. I’m here for you. I told you, Courtney, you would be mine, and considering Kaden is nowhere to be seen. I would say he has left you alone.” He says and my
eyes don’t move from his as he smiles, moving closer to my mouth.
I gulp, and it seems to excite him.
“You want me Storm?” I ask and he looks at me, his eye wide with lust and he bites his
bottom lip.
“Then let me show you how much I want you. But not against the wall. Climb up on the bed,
Storm, and let me appreciate you.” I say, fighting the bile that is rising in my throat. He

chuckles and squeezes my throat when he leads me to the bed. I look at Amelia and she is
sleeping.
“No funny business, Courtney, or you will never see your daughter again. I mean, we can always have another one. Just imagine a child with my hair and your stunning eyes. f*****g
beautiful.” He says and I nod my head as he sits on the edge of the bed. Ok, think Courtney.
Got it.
I push him backwards and crawl up onto the bed to straddle his hips. I take his wrists and
hold them by his head. i***t.
I grab the gun and put it to his head.
“Wrong f*****g move, asshole.” I grab the pillow and cover his face with it, and fire the gun.
I scramble off the bed and grab Amelia and run from the room to find Kaden and the others. I
run down the stairs and find Kaden on the floor with everyone else. No.
“Kaden wake up.” I shake him when I hear a deep chuckle. I turn my head over my shoulder
and see Storm standing at the top of the stairs. What the f**k? I look at the gun in my hand
and see it is a damn replica.
“Do you think I’m f*****g stupid enough to just let you take a real gun from my grip? You are
so stupid, Courtney. Really f*****g stupid.” He says I kick Kaden to wake up.
“What did you do?” I shout and Strom walks down the stairs, chuckling as he reaches the
bottom.
“Sedatives in their coffee. They will wake up soon enough, but you and I won’t be here. You are
in for a world of pain, Courtney. If I can’t have you, then neither can he.” He says I step
backwards, seeing Kaden’s gun and move fast to grab it when I’m grabbed by my hair. I
scream as I’m yanked backwards against a hard chest.
“Shhhhh, no one will hear you scream, Courtney. No one will save you this time.” He says
my ear before he licks my cheek. Just as I feel a prick in my neck. Tears leave my eyes. As Amelia is taken from my arms and I fall to the ground.
in
“No, don’t do this Storm. Please.” I say as I watch him walk away before I see him hand my
daughter to someone.
“AMELIA!” I scream just as the world goes black.
