Chapter 76.
Kaden POV.
This is too much to handle. Caitlyn or Katie is alive, and our prisoners are gone. Not to
mention Ivanov was Michelle’s cousin. This is just getting out of f*****g hand. I need to get Courtney away from all of this before we all implode.
“You left a message for Courtney after you helped Chief escape. Why didn’t she remember who it was that said those words?” I ask Caitlyn and she smiles softly.
“I used to call it when she was still very little. Then I stopped because I knew when the time came, she would figure it out quickly. She is my little angel. You have no idea how hard it was to walk away from her. When she was in school, I would hit my targets and be back home, clean, and cooking for when she came home. She never knew, obviously.” She says, and I still
can’t believe she is standing here in front of us.
“Courtney is going to be devastated that you lied to her again. Don’t you think you should have stayed gone? Sent a message to Karma and had him relay it to us? So why now, apart from this bullshit with Ivanov? Why did you come here when you clearly have other means to make
contact?” I ask her and she smirks at me and I see the glint in her eye.
“Very clever, Kaden. I could, but you see, that was before my daughter was targeted. Grim or Patrick is nothing compared to Ivanov. Grim like Chloe, Michelle is just a pawn for Ivanov. He has been trying for years to destroy this family. So that is why I am here. To protect the family. That is what I thought I was doing all along. Did you not figure it out? How this MC and family were made the biggest and baddest? Long after my nonno had his footing in this world? Because of me and my organisation. We take out the threats that nonno hadn’t seen.” She
says and I just look at her and chuckle slowly, shaking my head.
“Then you are s**t at your job. You say about the ones Chief didn’t know about, but you obviously knew about Ivanov and did nothing. Or is it that your reach doesn’t reach as far as Russia?” I say to her and she just looks at me before she chuckles and nods her head.
“See, I knew you were smart underneath all those muscles and tattoos. You’re right. I thought my nonno was smarter than this. I could wipe out the Ivanov line with a snap of my fingers, but why should I? Don’t y’all think you should all be doing things for yourself? I’m not your mommy, I am mom to one and she is more than capable of taking Ivanov out without y’all.” She snaps and I narrow my eyes at her. I step forward when Richie grabs me.
Caitlyn chuckles again and blows a kiss at me, b***h!

Chapter 76.
“Ivanov is interested in Courtney. Only a fool would not see that. Courtney without me is the Cosa Nostra. She commands the don’s and that kind of power is exactly what Ivanov wants. All this s**t with Grim, his taunts and trying to get under Courtney’s skin, is just that. A way to throw her off. Yes, he too wants her for himself. Because let’s be straight here. I was meant to marry Grim, but I couldn’t. Not that I wanted to. Patrick was a sweet man until my nonno betrayed him and, in turn, that betrayal got our family killed. I had to leave. I couldn’t be around all of this. Every corner is a reminder of my family. My nonna, madre, papa, Fratello. They all died because of him.” She says, pointing to Chief, and he hangs his head in shame.
“Mi dispiace Principessa, non potevo lasciarti sposare Grim.” (I’m sorry princess, I couldn’t let you marry Grim.) Chief says to Caitlyn, and she walks to him and squats down, resting her
hands on his knees.
“Lo so, ma il tuo orgoglio li ha fatti uccidere.” (I know, but your pride got them killed.) She says softly and Chief whimpers before Caitlyn pulls him into a hug.
“Mi dispiace, nonno.” She says so quietly and he hugs her back as he sobs onto her shoulder. We all watch, feeling their sadness. I look down at the floor as my phone vibrates and I take
the phone out and smile softly at the text message.
My love: You need to take my credit cards away from me lol. I may have gone overboard. Love you, I know you’re busy with my grandpa. Could you ask someone to bring me some pickles
and peanut butter, please? Lovvvvvvveeeeee yoooooouuu xx.
I chuckle after I read the text. I shake my head as I reply.
Me: You and your pickles, our daughter will come out green and sour lol. I will ask Max to bring you your treats. Love you too and I don’t need to take anything from you, Courtney, you
spend what you want. I will be up soon, now rest and watch TV xx.
I sigh, sending a quick text to Max asking him to take some pickles, peanut butter, and other s**t up to Courtney. I am going to have to lie to my girl. I can’t tell her any of this. Not that her mom is alive or that Grim and Chloe have escaped with the help of a mole planted here by
Ivanov. She is going to f*****g kick off.
I need to get her away from all of this. This is no environment for her to be on bed rest. All it takes is for one person to tell her about what has been happening and her stress level will go
through the roof. I know Courtney will never forgive me for keeping this from her, but I know
she will go looking for her mom, and I have a feeling Courtney will snap and possibly shoot
her mom.
Yeah, can’t have that happening.

Chapter 76.
“Is she ok?” Caitlyn asks and I have to swallow the words I want to say to her. So I just nod my head.
“Yeah, cravings, and online shopping.” Is all I say when really I want to put this woman in the damn ground like how she should be.
“I know you want to snap at me. I’m a big girl, I can handle it. Don’t hold back on my account. I know you wanted to say, what right do I have to ask? What kind of mother am I to fake my death and leave my daughter in all this danger? It’s fine.” She says with a shrug of her
shoulders.
“Courtney will know soon enough why, and I know she will forgive me. Maybe not right away,
and who could blame her? But she knows someone is watching over her. That her mom is
always with her. It has to be this way until she has your daughter. But know this Kaden. No
matter what happens, I will always be watching over her. She is my piccolo Angelo.” Caitlyn
says with a sad smile on her face.
“You should have told her, Caitlyn, she would have understood. I get it you were trying to
protect her, but what you did was break her heart. You can be optimistic all you want, but I don’t think Courtney will ever forgive you for this.” I say before I turn and walk away.
f**k this and them. I need to be next to Courtney and our daughter. Ivanov is lurking
somewhere in the shadows, and he, too, is after Courtney. I can’t let anyone near her.
I pull my phone out and call Havoc. He answers.
“Pres, what do you need?” I smirk and I know exactly what I need.
“Send Danger here. I need him to watch over Courtney and contact Snake. I want him here too.
I say to him and he groans.
“What’s happening, pres?” Havoc asks, and I can tell he is getting excited. He is a gossip w***e and loves the hunt. He is a sadistic fucker and loves the pain he gets to inflict on his unsuspecting victims. When he is like this, there is no controlling him. And right now, I don’t need to control him. I need him to unleash his chaos. Hence the name Havoc.
“We are hunting boys. Be ready to ride in the morning.” I say, and Havoc chuckles. It is time to remind everyone why we are Satan’s Reapers and find this Russian fucker and show him we are more than motorcycle riding thugs.
I’m coming for you Ivanov and you will meet the reaper.
