Justin POV "Who the hell is D.M?!" James Campbell yelled out. After everything that pulled off we decided to call the Campbell's and let me tell you it wasn't easy one bit, since they got here all we got was yells and questions. Michael try comforting his wife Anna Campbell even thou he himself was boiling in rage, I could see it in his eyes "Answer the damn question" he said trying to keep his voice calm. I sigh answering them "His name is Derek Marshall he is..." I swallow my saliva preparing for my next word "...he is my ex wife brother" There was silence from the Campbell's family, that on till Michael broke it he stood up with rage "The hell do you mean ex wife?" He shouted at me making his wife flinch a little bit am sure he felt it cause immediately he turned to look down at his wife his face soften. "You see why I refused to let you give her away to this family" he said to his Father "and most especially to him" he pointed to me. "Enough! Yelling will not get us anywhere okay? Let just wait for Caleb to find out her location, trust me he will" Sebastian said. I gave him a nod of appreciation thankful for him being here including Eric. I called him telling him about Victoria's kidnap, he immediately left Texas leaving Valentina and his unborn child and came back to California to help in the search of Victoria. Unfortunately he wasn't here to defend me but with Caleb to help in the search. Caleb is a resigned U.S militant all the trainings and connection has been helpful, he never wanted to leave but his mother weak heart made him. After losing her husband and son she prayed not to lose another and with her every power she her made sure Caleb left the army force. But that didn't stop him from protecting people he opened a security company both he own by bodyguard and securities appliances. Which has come to handy for today. I felt my phone vibrant for an incoming call I picked it up at the second ring. "Yeah Caleb anything" at the mention on Caleb's name everyone sat up. "Yeah we found her she is still her in California" I hear the shuffling of papers on the background and also the sound of the computer keyboard "I will send you the details" I immediately start preparing to leave but Caleb stopped me "and Justin please don't move an inch from there" Then her hang up Like that is even possible, there was no where in hell i was no going to leave now to save my wife even if what Caleb said was true he was going to. It has been a long horrible two weeks of now see Victoria i fears she might be dead but i hoped not, the pains of losing her was too strong that i don't think i will survive if the dies. I knew exactly what this feeling means and i will be damned if i was going to lose her before telling her. "Justin what did Caleb say?" Elsa asked worried. I cleared my throat to say "They found out where she is and he is coming soon so we can both save her" I stated. When I said so Lisa ear perk up to attention, even if she try to denies it she cares for Victoria, it was all written on her face. At the mention of knowing about Victoria's whereabouts my mom, mark,Michael,Anna, Elsa and Sebastian relaxed having hope of Victoria's return. After for about one and the half hours Caleb and Eric made it back to my house both looking tired. I immediately felt a peck of guilt, all this was my fault if I had not try to forget my past and not pushed Victoria away after all she had done for me we won't be in this mess we were in now. But I tend to correct everything and I hope she forgives me, I hope so. Eric spoke out "According to what we found out Derek is not so smart maybe he is maybe he his not, it could be a trap for all we know" we all look at him confused "well according to source she is in his house I guess maybe his mental condition really pays enough and I think it about time to get Victoria back, his fun is over is going to pay for this no one mess with thus family and goes Scot free" Eric said while frowning with a look of determination in his face. And he couldn't be more right, no one messes with this family and go without paying the prices. It time to bring back my light I just hope it never to late. ******************** Justin POV The journey to Derek's house seem to take forever I wonder how much longer I would be able to stand the suspense. The distance away from Victoria was killing me slowly. I still had things to tell her everything and profess my love to her, I still have tell her how sorry I am. "Justin snap out of that thought of your and listen to the plans" Caleb said to me seriously. I glared at him angrily "You think all this is easy for me?!" I snap at him. "Well it not my fault you decided to get drunk and push her away" he yelled at me "So it better you listen if you want to save her from that psychopath" he said strictly. I made sure to breath in to calm my nerves before nodding my head to telling him to continue. After Caleb explains everything nobody spoke a word at all but look at him like he had just cracking humorless joke. Sebastian was the one who broke the silence "You joking right because that the most lamest plan I have ever heard" he gave a 'are you serious look' "So I think you better give us a reasonable one" "Sebastian just shut up, it the only way we can find out how many people are there" Caleb spoke looking at us all then stop his stare at me "And you Justin should where this" he gave a camera contact lens "And also this" then he hand over to me a ear bug "This way we would be able to see how many they are and hear everything" then he pointed his finger at Sebastian "Now let me do my job an expert way". Immediately the car came to an halt "Now lets get into action" Caleb said out. The plan immediately started. I jumped off the car and head to the one story building which is known to Derek's house. My mind tells me something is off because it can't be too easy to get here. He planned all this but that won't make me stop not when am this close to my wife. I inhale deeply then let it out. I now or ever, I head straight to the door and look back only to find out Caleb's car was out of sight. Well the plan seem to be going smoothly. I turn the handle of the door and found out it wasn't lock. See I told to it was to easy. "Justin move and get inside" Eric's voice spoke out in my left ear though the bug. "Shut up am trying to be careful here" I whispered back at him in a shut up manner. Immediately I step into the house five guns were pointed to my head then the door was shut at once. In front of me sat Derek Marshall. The sight of him makes me fume in anger. "Well,Well,Well look who we have" Derek said smirking "So predictable, I knew you would come just like I planned and you just happen to fall right in it but am so surprise it took you this long to locate my house or are you starting to lose your riches but all the same you welcome to join us" he then tit his head to his right side. "Isn't that right sweetheart!" It was then I noticed Victoria's presence. Victoria POV Seeing Justin here fills me with joy, even if the last time we spoke harsh word were thrown I don't care. Him being here shows that he cares for me and am ready to forgive him for the things he has done to me for am not alone now. Yes, I know I'm too forgiven but what can I do it in my nature. I couldn't speak out his name for my mouth is gagged and I couldn't take it off because a g*n was pointed to my head. I could see the relief in Justin's face "Derek please let her go, you have issues with me not her and now am here please just let her go" Justin pleaded to the devil. "Hhmmm" I try speaking out but can't. Derek only but chuckled "Yeah like I would do just that, you no what.." Derek stood up "I want you to pay for the death of my sister if she had listened to me and not married you. She would have still been alive, but no you went ahead and marry you the love of her life and what did this love do to her it killed her" Hearing this made me wonder what happened to briella was it true that Justin killed her. I looked at Justin closer to see if I could find any sign if Derek was lying but I find nothing but guilt. Derek still continued "I even sent a girl to you. You remember Jane, I sent her to frame you so briella will leave you" When he said that Justin frown at him "And the next news I heard was my sister was dead and sure you eliminating her to keep your secret and made I look like she committed suicide" At this point Justin yelled out "If you were the one who sent Jane then you killed briella, do you want to know why" Justin said "Because that move you pulled made briella killed herself thinking I cheated on her" Derek scowl in disbelief shaking his head refusing to believe "Liar!" He shouted out "Now play time is over now that you here it time for you to witness the death of your stupid wife" he angrily moved to me and pulled my head taking the g*n from the man behind me. "No!! Please" Justin pleaded "Please don't kill her. I love her" I was starstruck at his word even when I was in pain. He loves me, Justin loves me. I stare at him deeply only to find out he was saying the truth. An evil laughter brought me out of my trance "Now that makes it more fun, now say bye to your love" he left my hair and place the cold g*n at the side of my head I heard the crock of the g*n. Justin gave me a sign to hit Derek g*n off. I did it immediately and bent down it was then g*n's shots went off. All I could remember was Justin bending over at me "Please stay with me, I love you" I barely heard him till my body gave into exhaustion. ****************** Unedited Victoria POV I blink my eyes trying to preventing the light illuminate from blinding me,the beeping of a machine filled the room,the smell of hospital filled my senses. I groan feeling a slight headache. I immediately felt a hand pulled me down to lay back on the bed. I look up to see who it was and found out it was Justin who looked at me in concern. "Hey, lie back don't stand up, we wouldn't want you to stress yourself would we" he said smiling faintly at me. I sigh lie back on the bed "What happened?" I spoke out with a hoarsely not even recognizing my own voice "Water please" Immediately Justin rush and pour out a glass of water for me from the stand "Here" he place the glass to my lips with his right hand and lift my head with his left hand gentle like he doesn't want me to break. After having half a gulp of the water I pulled my lips of the glass "Thank you" I said appreciating his kind gesture "So what happened?" Justin sigh then told me what occurred "You fainted out off stress immediately you hit the g*n of Derek's hand. It was then Caleb, Eric and Sebastian immediately start shooting after coming through the back door" I was then greatful for their great timing "What about Derek?" I asked already feeling curious and also scared. "Caleb killed him" he said looking tired "Derek tried shooting you in your unconscious state but before he could accomplish his plan Caleb shot him" in that moment I felt safe, is it bad of me to feel happy about someone's death. I smiled up at Justin feeling greatful "Thank you for coming to save me" I thanked him. Justin scoff "Nonsense, I would do it a million times just to save the woman I love. I meant what I told Derek I love you, I love everything about you, I love your smile, I love your kind heart, I love your selflessness..." His words touched me making me shed tears "...And most especially I love your body" he ended his word with a tease making me laugh hard along with him. Then later became serious "Victoria I'm sorry for things I did to you, it was so stupid for me, I can't leave without you I..." I cut him up. "Shhh it okay I forgive you" I smiled at him "We forgive you" I said to him. He looked confused "We?" I took his hand and place it on my stomach. "Yes am pregnant" At this word Justin burst into tears also smiling and he pulled me over to hug me "I found out when I was in Derek's custody" We both shed tear of joy. "Thank you Victoria, Thank you. Oh I love you" I kissed me on my lips and all over my face making me giggle. "I love you too" he grin at me happily. We didn't notice we were not alone anymore. The whole family were here. The Smith, My parent,brothers and Justin's friend including Lia. "Ohh, so more love and kisses when do I get mine" Eric coo in a girly voice. It made everyone in the room laugh.I love all this wonderful people. "Thank everyone for being here" I then look at Caleb,Sebastian and Eric "Thank you for saving me I will forever appreciate it" I thank them all. "Don't mention, you are a gold we don't want anything happening to and also we don't want Justin running mad" Sebastian joke. My parents moved to embrace me with my brother and Lia with tears on their face. "You don't do that ever again to me you hear me" Lia yelled at me with tears on her face. "I will never" I promised. Elsa hugged me including Helen and Mark the last to come forward was Lisa who look guilty. She started "Am sorry Victoria I was wrong about you all along please forgi..." I stopped her immediately by pulling her for a hug. "Oh it okay there is nothing to forgive. Now I feel complete thanks for coming around" I said feeling complete. Now we are whole. ***************** Five years later Victoria POV "Dave, Ella, get down now" immediately heavy footsteps could be heard descending down the stairs. Two twin toddlers blonde hair could be seen from my view "mum!mum!" "Where are my two darlings?" I joke with them making both of them follow along. They both covered their face with their small hands, I head over to them "Caught you guys" I held them tight in my embrace making them all giggle. "Are my loves having fun without me?" A deep voice spoke out. Justin came back from work early "hi love" he bent down staying behind me hugging us all at the same time. "Daddy" Dave and Ella laughed. I felt joy in seeing my family like this. "Hey guys get ready we having a gathering in uncles Sebastian's" Justin said, immediately a happy shriek came out from the children. They both pulled from our embrace "really" Ella said while grinning. I nod at her. She immediately ran to her room not before telling me to get her prepared. She has the same playful character like my elder brother James and she took my blonde hair but her dad's grey eyes while her brother looks exactly like his dad. "Will uncle Caleb be there also?" Dave asked. He loves Caleb or he says he finds Caleb cool. "Of course" Justin said. When we were both left alone Justin turned and kissed me on my lips hungrily. Let me tell you guys he his never satisfied that why am already carrying my third child. "Am happy I meet you and married you" Justin remembered about us meeting during Justin's visit to Briella's grave and he never stops talking about it "How is my boy doing in there" he rubbed my six month pregnant stomach. "He his kicking fine sometimes I think he forgets he is in someone's womb and not the field. Let me tell you, you have a footballer in here" I said pointing to my stomach. Justin only laugh out. He was about bending to kiss me when a voice stopped him "Eww...Dad don't, mom needs to get me dressed I don't want to be late" Ella took my hands and I stood up leaving Justin not before kissing him. "Eww" I burst out laughing. Feeling blessed with my family. *****************
