“Lisa - they might come after my son. Please, trust me. Keep that door locked from the inside.”

“Ok.” She stammers and I can hear the tears in her voice. “Is Bella ok? Is she going to be ok?”

“I’m going to find Bella. I will bring her home. Please, just keep Dante safe.”

“Ok.” She says again, with more conviction.

“Give me your mobile number. I’ll give you mine. Stay in touch. Call if anything happens. Ifanyonecomes to the apartment you have to call me - ok?”

“Yes. I will. I’ll call.”

We exchange information, then I hang up.

Our son is safe - for now. That is important. That gives me the smallest amount of peace. So, I can focus all of my energy on finding Bella.

I have to move fast. Bella is in danger. I know who has her. There is only one person. But where did he take her?

I go back to my office, grabbing my phone and calling my security team.

“Sir?” he answers.

“Get to the gallery - now.”

“Sir, we have the meeting in about thirty minutes - we were just about to leave for that.”

“It doesn’t matter anymore. I found out why Marcus is in the city - and he got what he wanted - now I need you to get to the gallery so we can stop him.”

“Fuck. Ok. We’re on our way.”

Marcus is the only person who knows who Bella really is.

I don’t even need to guess. I know he has her. I can’t believe I was stupid enough to let her go home alone. I should have driven her. I should have had a guard on her twenty-four seven. This is my fault. I fucked up.

And now I need to fix it.

For a few minutes all I feel is panic.

Marcus is capable of killing her.

It all depends on if he wants revenge - or if he wants what he was promised. Perhaps he wants both - but I have to hope that he still plans to marry her because then he will keep her alive. At least for now.

But as soon as they are married he is going to disappear, and I doubt I will ever find her again after that. I need to figure out where she is before they leave this city.

While I wait for my team to arrive my mind floods with images of her.

Her gorgeous smile and how her eyes glitter when she gets a mischievous thought. The way her lips curl upwards at the ends and create cute little dimples on her cheeks.

She is beautiful in so many ways. Her heart is the most sacred thing I have. I want her back.

I need her.

She is my stability, the yin to my yang.

I’ve only just connected with her. We’ve only just started figuring everything out and allowing ourselves to love each other.

We were about to start our future together - with our son. We were about to become a proper family and now she has been torn away from me.

I’m impatient, my men are taking too long to get here, even though it’s only been a few minutes - I lock up the gallery. Checking the back and then heading out the front doors, I close everything up and stand on the massive stone steps outside in the chilly night air.
