Coming Home For Christmas

Tam so beyond pissed right now that I can't even put into words how angry 1 am but let's just say this, my cousin should be grateful that he's always surrounded by bodyguards because he's gonna need protection when I get my goddamn hands on him Twoke up not too long ago with a heavy bladder and after I relieved myself, 1 had this strong urge to check on the door and I don't know why I wasn't sure if I was just being paranoid because of what had happened with my dad and Logan Junior or if it was just my gut feeling but I had this strong urge and when I checked it, I was angry and shocked to learn that we had been locked in here and I knew Klayton was the culprit behind it

“Babe, you know everything me and your family do is to protect you and our family and to keep us all safe, right?"

"Yeah" I dragged out as I looked at him confused “Well, that's why Klayton locked the door, babe...because he wanted to keep you safe” “Safe from what?" Lasked confused and Logan looked at me stoically

“From yourself, babe" He says shocking me “Klayton knows what it's like, Lace..he knows what it's like to feel the fear of having your child in the arms of a psycho but more than that, Lace, Klayton knows you and he knows you wouldn't be able to sleep or find any peace in your heart until you've either killed or caused significant amounts of pain to the asshole who messed with you" “And he's right” Isaid with a sigh

Iwant to cause this scumbag unlimited amounts of pain but Idon't know if I'd be able to control myself if I did “He doesn't want you to get involved, love, he wants you to leave everything up to us" “I want to, Logan" I'say as I look at our son “But 1 feel like I'm letting him down if I don't do anything" “You wouldn't be letting him down, babe, I promise you" Logan says as he kisses my temple

"I swear to you, Lacey love, Logan Junior won't think any less of you if you let us take the lead on this" "Us?" Took back at my husband who smiles slightly at me “Klayton and me..let us get our hands dirty, babe, not you" He says and I nod my head I wasn't agreeing with him but Logan thought I was and I let him believe that for now Later that Night..

My eyes remained fixed on my husband and our son who were fast asleep in our bed as I changed out of my pyjamas and into a vest top, a pair of jeans and some old Converse shoes I then tied my hair up into a ponytail and left the room after one last look at my two boys A part of me wanted to listen to my husband and leave everything up to him and my family but I can't and for my own peace of mind, I need to speak to the motherfucker and get some answers from him I headed down to the dungeons and I was grateful yet also annoyed when I saw Katerina and Vanessa down there “Lacey? what are you doing down here, sweetheart?"

Vanessa asks me I briefly narrowed my eyes to Kat before answering her “I wanna see the guy who tried to take my son" "lace..." “Now, Vanessa" Isa sternly and she nods her head “Klayton won't be happy about this, sweetheart” “Vanessa, I don't wanna sound like a cocky b***h but I've got my

cousin wrapped around my little finger..he won't be mad at me for too long if and when he does find out that I've been down here" Vanessa let out a breath and I could tell she was nervous which isn't shocking considering I'm asking her to do something her Don has probably told her not to “Ok, fine" "Just as long as it doesn't come back on us” Kat says sassily which pisses me off

“What the f**k is your problem?” "You are”

She says shocking me “I saved your son today... caught the guy who was trying to take LJ away from you but I stopped him by kicking his ass and shooting him several times and you haven't even so much as thanked me for it" “You want a thank you, Kat? ok fine, thank you for saving my son's life and I'm so sorry you weren't at the top of my frrxg priority list and 1 didn't apologise to you sooner but I hope you can forgive me after the god-awful day I've had considering my dad was stabbed and almost killed and my son who has got enough going on with him has been left traumatised after he was nearly taken from his family..he's so traumatised that he won't even sleep on his own when normally, he's a very independent kid"

“Klayton Antonelli, if you don't open this bastard door in the next sixty seconds then I'm gonna knock the f**+ig thing down and make ugly Christmas tree decorations out of your goddamn d**k and balls”

I said angrily and Kat looked at me with a guilty expression Ithen narrowed my eyes from Kat to Vanessa's hip where her gun holster is "Can I borrow that?" “Do you even know how to fire one?" She asked me suspiciously but I didn't get the chance to answer her “Yeah, she can, she's a crack shot" Katerina says and I narrow my eyes at her

“Fine but if Klayton asks..." “Yeah, yeah, yeah I get it, Jeez, I don't understand why everyone is so scared of Klayton, he's a puppy dog” I groaned as I put the gun inside the waistband of my jeans Chapter 23 - Unleashing The Be eo “He's a puppy dog with you, Lace, he isnt with the rest of us" “If you say so, Vanessa" Isay as I walk over to the room where my father's attacker

is Thad my hand on the doorknob and was ready to turn it and enter the room when a thought came to my mind “Is there anything I should know about?” “Yeah, his name is Carlos and he's a bedwetter” Vanessa says and I narrow my eyes at her “And that man of yours has got fists of steel” “What do you mean?” I ask Katerina who smirks

"You'll see when you go in there" Kat's words intrigued me and I wasted no time in going into the interrogation room My nose immediately twitched and I had to fight the urge to gag from the smell as my eyes narrowed on the sorry excuse for a human being sitting in a chair in the middle of the room I closed the door behind me and walked over to the piece of s**t whilst trying my hardest to resist the urge to reach for the gun in my waistband I wanted this man to die but I wanted him to suffer first I grabbed hold of the asshole’s hair and pulled his head

back flinching slightly when I saw the state of his face “Jesus, Logan" Lalready knew Logan's fingers were little jackhammers but 1 didn't know his fists were like Thor's hammer, well, I knew he could fight but I didn't know he was capable of this Chapter 23 - Unleashing The Be “Are you my guardian angel?"

Carlos asks me and I chuckle “Oh no honey, I'm your worst f****+g enemy" “Wh.who are you?" “I'm Lacey Black, the wife of the man who did this to you, the cousin of the man who gave you this lovely home" I'say whilst looking around the mould-infested room before narrowing my eyes back at swollen Sally over here “And I'm the daughter of the man you stabbed and the mother of the child you dared to put your dirty, grubby hands on" I growl in his face and he starts to panic

"M.ma'am, I.L.1.AAHHHH!" He screamed in pain when I headbutted him “Shut the f**k up, asshole” I'say through gritted teeth “Did it make you feel like a big man, hmm? does it make you feel good that you put your hands on my baby?" “N.n.n.n.no, L.1, it was fake"

Igrab hold of a hunting knife and hold it under Carlos's chin “Are you taking the piss?" Task him and he rapidly shakes his head “Then tell me why you did what you did?" “I already told that barbaric cousin of yours...” “And now you're gonna tell me otherwise I'l slit your frrreg throat without blinking”

I said barely above a whisper as I look him in his eyes so that he knew! was being deadly f*****g serious “Trevor wanted me to fake kidnapping the little boy because he wanted to scare Klayton into handing over you and his mafia to him..he knows how sensitive he is when it comes to kids and he hoped Klayton would sacrifice you and the mafia to protect the children” “And my dad?..what did he do that was so bad that you had to hurt him?" “Wrong place, wrong time, I guess...he saw me coming and he immediately jumped in to protect the kid, he put up a good fight too but T overpowered him...AH!I, AHI, AHI, ‘YOU'RE HURTING ME!" He shouts when I dig the tip of the knife into his chin

“No s**t Sherlock” Isaid while flicking the tip of the knife against his chin cutting him slightly Ithen walked over to the table behind me and picked up a nice thick whip with a leather casing which felt like there was something unpleasant underneath it because it was very bumpy and it felt very uncomfortable under my gentle touch "Now... want you to answer my questions and every time you fail to answer me, I'm gonna whip you" Isay and his eyes widen in fear “Why did you have an LD. with Tommy Logan's details on

"Jesus Christ, do you kiss our mother with that mouth, Lace?" Luca asks whilst laughing “Yeah, where did she learn this potty mouth from?" Klayton asks and I roll my eyes “Learn?” Logan asks in confusion “Nobody taught her s**t, Klayton, well, except for me, I may have taught her the word prick because that's my favourite pet name forContent held by NôvelDrama.Org.

it?" No answer CRACK! “AAHHHI, ok, ok, Tl tell you..I was given a fake LD. by Trevor, he wanted to trigger Klayton" Chapter 23 - Unleashing The Be. / He says and I scoff “You expect me to believe that bullshit” "It's the truth, I swear it"

“But how was Trevor supposed to know that Klayton would see the LD. if your only intention was to fake kidnapping my kid?" “Because Trevor wanted me to leave it behind” He says and I narrow my eyes at him This makes no sense I'thought to myself as I once again cracked the whip down on his body “Tell me the real reason or I'l pour water on your ass and whip you...trust me, Carlos, you don't want that" I'say with a smirk and he glares at me whilst panting deeply

“He wanted to cause doubt in Klayton's mind" “What do you mean?” Lask confused “Do you think Trevor is a new threat in Klayton and his people's lives, Lacey? no, he's always been there from the very start..from their school days to college and later on in life..Trevor's been watching Klayton and everyone in his life for a very long time now..he knows who he loves and who he hates, who's his friend and who's his acquaintance or his business associate...ne knows things about you people that you may not even know about yourselves”

"Ok, so he's a creepy stalker, what's that got to do with Tommy and why you're using his identity?" Carlos looked at me for a good minute or two like he was analysing me before he said something truly disturbing Chapter 23 - Unleashing The Be “He wanted to make Klayton believe that Tommy was still alive, he wanted to make him believe that Tommy had faked his death so that he could go and work for Trevor thus making Klayton believe his dear best friend had betrayed him which would ultimately drive him insane and weaken him" Oh my god

This is truly f***d up

Dylan” him “Hey, I'm standing right here" Dylan whined and I just knew that my husband was smirking at Urghll "I'M STILL IN HERE YOU ITALIAN PRICK!" I'shout in annoyance and frustration before remembering [ wasn't alone in the room

I'turned my head to look at the bed where my baby was sleeping and 1 was relieved to see that my son was still fast asleep and he didn't even budge from his position “Yeah and you're gonna remain in there until you calm down" "Oh really? well, if you hadn't locked me in here Klayton then I'd already be calm, smartass” “Idid it for your own good, Lace" Yeah, sure you did

I thought to myself while rolling my eyes “Just relax, babe and we'll open the door” "Don't you start Logan unless you wanna stay in one of Klayton's guest bedrooms until we go home" “Babe, don't be like that" Logan groans and I smile “Night, night, Logan" /f you're gonna lock me in our room then I'm gonna lock you out of

our bed, it's as simple as that Ithought to myself smugly thinking I'd won I walked away from the door but I was surprised when it was suddenly

"If you're not gonna calm down then I'm gonna make you calm down” Logan growled as he slammed the door shut and took menacing steps towards me until I was backed up against the nearest wall “Logan, mmm" I moaned when my husband cupped my face and passionately kissed my lips It was a breathtaking, panty-dropping kiss which was enough to make me feel lightheaded enough to lose my train of thought and forget about everything except for my husband, his lips and his touch

Logan pulled away from me and brushed his thick lips against mine before resting his forehead against my forehead “Are you calm now, my love?" Logan looked me in the eyes and I nodded my head “Good” He said as he briefly narrowed his eyes to our son before looking back at me “Why did you lock me in our room?"
