BANG!

Toby falls lifeless to the ground.

What the fuck? I look at Kane who is holding Sebastian, covered in Skeet’s blood. I look down at Skeet, dead on the floor with a bullet to his head. Where did the gunshot come from?

That’s when I hear him. Footsteps behind me approach, tapping against the floor, matching the rapid beating of my heart. “Jade,” he mumbles, out of breath.

“Roman.” My brother appears behind me holding a gun tightly in his hand.

I stand frozen in place, in shock, staring at him with wide eyes and my mouth dropped open. He did it. He shot Skeet. He shot Toby. Roman killed my two kidnappers right before my eyes, but most importantly my big brother saved us.

He saved my family, his family.

“Roman, you saved us!” I cry out falling into his open arms. “I’m so glad you’re here.”

“Of course Jade. There is nowhere else I would rather be. I came to save you and my niece and nephew. You two are my family.”

“Jade,” Sebastian whispers, rushing toward me. He picks us up and swings me in his arms as I clutch on tightly to the twins. “God Jade, I thought I had lost you three. I couldn’t bear it if anything happened to you.”

“Baby I’m so sorry, I…”

He takes Sapphire out of my arms, my arms aching because I’ve been holding two babies this whole time. “No need to apologize, baby. I know he did it. I know this is all my father’s doing. He wanted to separate us but he failed yet again. He told me you left me, took the money he offered you at the hospital and left. Why didn’t you ever tell me?”

“I never wanted the money Sebastian, I promised I would never leave you. He lied, he did this all to make it look like I took the money and left.” Tears drip down my cheeks, coating my lips in salt.

“Shh, I know baby,” he whispers, wiping the tears from my face with his thumb. “I never once believed you did. He used that against me. He played me, used what my mother did to him as a tactic against me. She was weak, she couldn’t stand up to my grandfather, but you baby, you are the strongest woman I have ever met.”

“I will never leave you Cupcake. You and our babies are everything I didn’t know I needed. There is no me without all of you anymore.”

“Same here baby. You and the kids are my entire world my entire life.” He smiles at me with the purest love shining in his eyes. “Now what do you say we get you and those angels the fuck out of here while they clean up?”

“You have the best ideas Cupcake, the very best ideas.”
