*Blades POV*
I walk back into her hospital room to let her know when we are aloud to go home. When I open the door I begin to feel rage as I see her empty room. Furniture moved everywhere. Even the hospital bed. And that’s when I saw it. The light hit it just right and I saw her ring on the window seal. As I begin to freak out, pull my gun on people, throw things and break things I get kicked out. James got copies of all of the security tapes and we head home and go to the office and put the tape in. James, Tyler, dad, and I are all watching it on a loop. The man went in the window and drug her out then placed the ring. Even though she was kicking and fighting.
“What the hell am I supposed to do now” I say as I realize that I have no leads and no idea where Rain is
“She is a string girl Blade. We will find her. It just might take time” my dad said putting me further into a rage.
“My pregnant fiancé will not be fine” everyone looked at me shocked “we just found out I say knowing that it doesn’t make anything better at all.
“The earrings” James said as he ran out of the room at full speed. Everyone follows after him confused as he shuffled through papers on the desk of the control room.
“What are you digging for” I ask him annoyed that we are wasting time.
“I put gps chips in the earrings after I picked them up for you” he said and with that I felt slight relief as he pulled up her location. And then my blood starts to boil.
“Get everyone. She is with the Italians” they are a small gang not far from me. But they are feared because of the drugs that have connection with. We set and plan our attack that will take place first thing in the morning. I set rereading the plans all night wondering exactly what Rain is doing in this moment. I set up all throughout the night unable to sleep because she is not near me. I think long and hard about the plans to make sure they are perfect. Because the women I have fallen in love with is in danger and I don’t want to waste another second after I get her back.
It’s now 4 am and everyone is showing up ready to go. I just have to go over the plan one more time. And drill it into everyone’s heads that not a scratch can be on her. Without telling everyone that she is pregnant simply because that would simply put a target on her back. We walk through the woods next to my house about two miles over. To a big run down half destroyed house that they have her in. I signal everyone to go in. Hundreds of us begin to surround the building and fill the floors as we do a search. There will definitely not be enough of them compared to us. My closest allies and their mafias all showed up to show their support. They know doing that will win them my support when needed. As every floor of the five story home is cleared and everyone is killed. We head down into the basement and that’s where I found her. I whispered over. “Is anyone down here” she shakes her head no. Only me and James go down I don’t want to many people to crowd her. When we get to her she is in a chair with her arms and legs tied to the base of the chair. And she is wearing nothing more that her bra and underwear. She looks over at the closet and then back at me twice. I quickly draw my gun and fire multiple times. James goes and checks the closet and other rooms in the basement as I easily pull the tape off her mouth.
“Blade you have to get out of here” she said looking me straight in the eyes with a look of panic and worry.
“I’m not going anywhere without you” I say as I untie her hands and feet.
“Don’t you get it. This is part of his plan. We have to leave now if we are even..” and with that she was cut off by the sound of a gun c*****g that was placed at the back of my head. Tears roll down her face and I stand up and walk away motioning for her to leave the room. But instead she does something much different. Faster than I have ever seen anyone move before she grabs his knife and sticks it straight into his jugular. I give her my jacket and James meets us at the stairs and we run going up as fast as we can. We quickly run out of the house. And I’m just enough time for the bomb to explode sending the entire building into flames
*Rains POV*
. A car picked me up so I wouldn’t have to walk home. Blade had to stay with his men so Sophia met me at the house and took me upstairs and sat in the room while I showered. In the moment Blade didn’t notice my injuries and I do t want him to know about them. I’m hoping to hide it so I seem less damaged and broken. But I know that with his mother treating me and us sharing a bed he will eventually find out. So as I get out I ask Sophia to stay in the room and take a look at my injuries. There were shallow long cuts across my collar bones and deeper cuts along my thighs.
“Please don’t tell him” I basically beg her as she bandages me up.
“It’s your job to tell him sweetie” and with that she helps me get dressed and walks me over to the bed so that I am able to lay down. She heads to the door and with tears in my eyes I beg her not to leave. Last time I was left alone he took me again. And this time was worse than last time. This time I knew his plan. Blade entered the room and his mother stood up and walked out stopping and hugging her son before walking out of the room. He walks over to the bed and starts to climb in. I turn facing the other way afraid that he will never look at me the same after what I tell him.
“Rain please look at me. There is something I need to tell you” he says is a soft comforting voice.
“I need to tell you something too” I say as my voice shakes and tears are flowing out of my eyes non stop.
“Ok do you want to go first?” He asks as I shake my head yes.
“Please just listen and then you can tell me what you want me to do after” I roll over and look at him he simply nods his head and listens “he planned for someone to fall for me. He told me that he purposely took me because I was around the same age as most of you. His plans which he did. Was to rough me up for a month and then let me escape. But he had it all planned for me to come here. He didn’t think it would be you. He thought it would be one of the guys but knew that you would have their back. Then his plan continued with him k********g me again and all of you showing up and him killing you and taking over the O’Conners. He wanted that power that you have across the country.” I said as I continue crying realizing that I was just all part of his plot for evil.
“I’m in love with you” Blade says as he looks me right in the eyes “none of that was your fault. The only thing that matters is that you made it to me and that I love you. More than anything in this world”
“I love you too” I say and with that he pulls me in quickly for a kiss. I whimper slightly in pain
“Where did he hurt you” he asks with anger back into his eyes even though the mad that hurt me is now dead.
“You can’t get mad or upset. You have to just take care of me and not leave my side if I show you” he shakes his head hesitating slightly. I take off my pajama bottoms and his t shirt that I took to sleep in and reveal all of the bandages. He stands up and walks over to me and pulls me into a hug holding me tight and I can feel tears falling on to my head from him crying. “I promise I will never let anyone hurt you again” he says as he holds me tight.
“Do you want to do something crazy?” He asks I simply nod my head yes and he looks at me with excited eyes “get dressed. We leave in 15.” And he pulls out his phone and starts making a call.
