Chapter 80 - Trying To Get On With Life

A really strong woman accepts the war she went

through and is ennobled by her scars’

Lacey's POV

Being depressed and feeling hurt by the actions committed by those close to you isn't a bad thing and it's ok to feel that way but you

shouldn't let yourself stay in that kind of situation because it can get worse and fester into something more and I don't want that

Iwant to be back to being the old happy and strong Lacey who enjoys life and enjoys laughing with her children and having alone time with

her husband without family drama getting in the way

This morning, I decided to wake up early and surprise my husband and children with a delicious breakfast which is something I haven't done

in a while because Logan refuses to let me ft a finger in the house

I remember when I cooked us a meal not too long back and he was angry with me because in his words ‘that's what the help is for’ and yes

ok, he's got a point

Our chef gets paid to cook our food, our maids get paid to clean our house and do various other jobs and our nanny gets paid to care for

our

Chapter 80 - Trying To Get On = children when I'm too busy with work to look after them but these are the things that I love to do,

especially cooking and caring for my family

Iwas singing and dancing along to Ariana Grande's song Into You as I made pancake batter when I was suddenly startled by my husband's

sexy, husky voice

"I'd love to touch your body, my dear wife but unfortunately, you weren't in bed with me when I woke up, so I couldn't"

Iturned around with a smile on my face and gasped slightly when I saw how sexy my man looked

Damn

How can he look so f****g sexy with just pyjama pants on and bed

head?

"Oh no, don't get all googly-eyed on me now, my love, not when you've been a naughty girl and snuck away from your husband's embrace

when I specifically told you not to because I hated it when you do that"

Logan said as he walked over to me and kissed my temple as he wrapped his arms around my waist

“Why are you up so early, Lace?"

"It's not early, it's eight o'clock, Logan"

Logan scrunched his face up as he looked down at his watch

“No, you're right, it's late"

Logan muttered as he nuzzled his face in my neck and I chuckled

“I wanted to make breakfast for my family, babe, that's why I'm up early”

“But that's what our chef is for, babe" He whines and I roll my eyes

“I know but I wanted to do this... like to cook for my family"

“I know you do, love and I love that about you but our cook isn't just here to cook for us, he's here so that you don't have to do it which

means you're free to spend time with me"

"Oh, so that's why you're pouting? it's because you wanna be alone with me"

Isay with a chuckle and he glares at me

"Of course I wanna be alone with you, Lace...look babe, please don't take this the wrong way because you know I absolutely love your food

but I'd much rather taste you than taste your cooking, if you know what I mean"

He says and I blush a bright shade of pink

This freaking man is gonna be the death of me

1 quickly place the mixing bow! Iwas holding down on the countertop and turned around to face my husband wrapping my arms around his

neck as I did

"You can taste me later in the shower if you want?"

Task him whilst biting down on my lower lip making sure to avoid the left side of my mouth

Logan groaned as he looked down at my lips and I had to use everything in me not to giggle at his reaction

"That had better be a f*****g promise, my queen and not just you trying to appease me?"

"Oh, it's definitely a promise, baby"

whisper against Logan's lips before kissing him slowly and sensually

Iwas trying not to hurt my lip but I guess that's inevitable

"Ouch"

Chapter 80 - Trying To Get On ald

whimpered before groaning in annoyance

I hate to admit it but Luca has got a very powerful swing on him, either that or he's an incredibly angry individual and he put all of that

anger into his punch because my mouth hurts like a b***h

“Are you sure I can't kill Luca, babe?"

Logan asks angrily as he gently rubbed my saw jaw

“Yes, I'm sure”

"Why?"

He whines and I chuckle

“Because I love you more than I love Luca and I don't want you going to prison because of him"

“Iwon't go to prison, babe, I'm Logan Black” My cocky husband says and I roll my eyes

"Yes, 1 know you are and I'd much prefer my good Logan Black to only be bad in the bedroom"

Isay in a seductive voice and Logan groans

“Dammit Lace, I just got my hard-on to go down"

He says and I chuckle

"Well, you'd better take a cold shower and get it down and fast because I'm nearly done here and you've gotta go and wake up the kids"

“Babe, you're killing me here"

Aww

“I'm sorry, baby"

Istand on my tippy toes and give him a kiss which once again had me wincing in pain

“And there goes my erection"

Chapter 80 - Trying To Get On v!

Logan says as he turns around and leaves the kitchen while I finish off making breakfast

Logan's POV

When I was a younger lad, I remember asking my dad why he always let my mom have so much power and influence over him because he'd

always do as she said, especially when it came to such serious decisions and matters All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

For example, when my dad was considering potentially arranging marriages for both myself and my siblings, my mom instantly said no and

he never fought her on it or brought it up again which I'm grateful for and I always will be but still, it always confused me

I hate to sound like a misogynistic asshole because I'm far from being one but in our world men are usually the heads of the family and the

protectors and their word was always the final word

So, when I asked my dad about this, he told me = ‘when aman truly loves a woman she becomes his weakness, when a woman truly loves a

man he becomes her strength, it's called an exchange of power’

I never truly understood what he meant by this but now I do because if it wasn't for my wife who is one of my biggest weaknesses in this

world and someone who I would literally give it all up for then I probably would've hunted Luca down by now and beat his ass until he

looked like Barney the freaking dinosaur

It pains me so much to see my wife hurt and in pain and I want nothing more than to avenge her but if she tells me to leave Luca alone

then Twill but if he tries anything like this again then all bets are off and I will kill him

After heading back upstairs, I first went to my room to put on a t-shirt before going to wake up the kids

Chapter 80 - Trying To Get On ihe

The boys were already wide awake and playing their games, so I quickly told them to finish up and head downstairs for breakfast before I

headed towards Teddy's bedroom

I couldn't help but smile when I walked into my princess's room because she was sleeping so peacefully with her favourite Little Mermaid

doll cradled in her arms

"Princess...princess Teddy, wake up” I tried to rouse my daughter from her slumber

I hated to wake her up but I had to otherwise she was gonna miss her breakfast

“Come on, princess, wake up”

I gently shook my daughter who started to stir just as my phone buzzed in my pocket

1 pulled out my phone from my pyjama pocket and opened up the text message that I had received from Klayton, it was a picture message

which made me smile a megawatt smile

Thank god, for Klayton Antonelli, folks

I quickly sent a text back to my cousin-in-law before focusing back on my daughter who was rubbing her eyes

“Daddy, I'm tired"

"How can you be tired, Teddy Bear when you've slept for the past ten hours?"

“I don't know, daddy”

She said as she tried to get comfy again and I knew exactly what she was doing because Lacey does the same thing

"Oh no, you don't, princess"

Isay as I pull the blanket away from her little body

"Daddy"

Teddy whined

"Don't daddy me, princess, you're gonna miss breakfast if you don't get up now and this morning, your mommy has cooked for us"

Teddy's eyes immediately shoot open and she looks up at me

"Did she make chocolate chip pancakes?”

“Hmm, I think so”

I say with a smile and she gasps happily

"Then what are we waiting for, let's go"

Teddy jumps up into my arms and I chuckle as I catch her

“Come on, my little monkey”

I'make sure my daughter is safe and secure in my arms before leaving her room and heading downstairs to have breakfast with her and our

little family

The Night Before..

Author's POV

It's late at night and while many people are sleeping and others are partying the night away, one individual in particular is about to wake up

to

not just a nightmare but a living, breathing nightmare standing right in front of her

Hidden deep in an old abandoned warehouse at one of New York's main ports is GiGi Addams who has been tied to a chair and is currently

surrounded by numerous members of the mafia including their leader Klayton Antonelli and his second in commands Benjamin and Connor

His wife wanted to come along tonight and get some female revenge on GiGi on behalf of her cousin-in-law but Klayton refused her wish

and requested that she stay at home with their son

Chapter 80 - Trying To Get On ald

A groan from GiGi alerts all of the men that she's coming around from the drugs she was given and it only took another two or three

minutes for her to fully come around

Her head was thumping, her mouth was dry and her eyes were still a little blurry, she didn't have a clue where she was but she knew that

she wasn't at the club anymore and she certainly wasn't in her apartment or anyone else's home for that matter

She knew this from the smell of dirt and mould that was hitting her nostrils and the chill that was coming in from the broken windows

hitting her barely covered body

1 bet she's regretting her choice of clothing or lack thereof now that she's found herself in quite the pickle, isn't she?

“Urghll, what's going on? where am I?"

GiGi groans as she looks around the dark, scary warehouse before looking up at the handsome trio in front of her with narrowed eyes

GiGi was in awe of the three men, especially the man in the middle who was giving her rich, dominant alpha male vibes and she liked it but

she didn't like the glare on his face

"Wh.who are you?"

“I'm your worst f****g nightmare, b***h"
