Chapter 81Get Kayla inside. Move, Nolan move. Dante's voice was no longer a shout. It was a primal roar that cut through the deafening sound of the collapsing hillside. He sprinted the remaining distance to his armored SUV. His boots were heavy with mud. His muscles were burning from the weight of Kayla's body.Nolan threw the armored rear door open. The interior light cast a halo over his soot-stained face. I have the kit, Dante. Bring Kayla in.Dante slid Kayla onto the leather back seat with a desperate, trembling gentleness. Her head rolled to the side. Her lips were still a shade of blue. Her breathing was so shallow Dante could barely see her chest rise. He did not stop to look at Kayla for more than a second. His eyes flew back toward the driveway. The red emergency lights of the ambulance were tilting into the black earth.Nolan stay with Kayla. Apply pressure to her wound. Do not let her go out. Dante yelled, already turning on his heel. He did not wait for a reply. He sprin

Chapter 82Dante slammed on the brakes and the tires of the armored SUV shrieked as he threw the vehicle around the final sharp turn. He mounted the curb of the hospital emergency bay. The truck came to a halt right under the bright fluorescent lights of the ambulance drop-off zone.Before the engine could even sputter to a stop Dante had his door open. He threw himself out into the humid night air. "Get help out now" Dante yelled. His voice was a sound that shattered the quiet of the sterile bay. He did not look like a billionaire anymore. His expensive white shirt was torn down the front. It was stained with grease and brown mud and his wife's blood. His face was streaked with soot and rain. His eyes were wide and bloodshot from panic.He threw the passenger door open. His hands were shaking violently as he reached inside. "Give him to me. Give me my son" Dante said. The lead medic was trembling. His face was completely pale as he handed the bundle over. The baby was terrifyingly li

Chapter 83The cold metal doors of the baby unit felt icy against Dante's forehead. His chest was burning with worry. He didn't have time to look through the wire mesh. A loud noise came from the end of the hall. The fast squeak of wheels on the clean floor and Nolan's loud voice."Get a doctor here now! She's getting worse!" Nolan shouted, his boots kicking up mud flakes as he pushed the stretcher around the corner.Dante spun around, his heart sinking. Kayla was on the mattress, her head rolling from side to side. Her yellow gown was soaked, with a big red stain spreading on the white sheets. Two nurses were running alongside the bed holding up plastic bags."Kayla!" Dante yelled, sprinting down the hall. He pushed past a doctor who was trying to read a chart, almost knocking him into a machine. He rushed to the stretcher, his muddy hand reaching for Kaylas.The moment his fingers touched her skin her hand gripped his wrist tightly. Her fingernails dug into his skin leaving marks on

Chapter 84The smell of medicine and iron filled the air in Emergency Room Three. Dante stood by the edge of the mattress, his big hands empty now that the nurses had made him let go of Kayla's hand. They were moving her toward the doors at the back of the room heading straight for the operating room. The wheels of the bed made a bad clicking sound against the floor."We need the surgical room ready now!" the doctor shouted, his white coat stained with red spots as he ran alongside the moving bed. "Shes getting very sick! We have to find where shes bleeding before her heart stops completely!"Dante took a step to follow them his big boots slippery with mud. A nurse stepped right in front of him with her hands up. "Sir you can't go into the operating room. You have to stay.""Move out of my way " Dante growled, his voice deep and rough. He didn't look at her; his eyes were fixed on the back of Kaylas head as the doors started to close."Mr. Cruz please " the nurse said, "If you go th

Chapter 85The phone felt like ice against Dante's ear. Nolan's words kept repeating in his head. “Jake's body is gone.” The empty corridor of the hospital seemed to shrink around him. The lights were so bright they hurt his eyes. The smell of his skin made him feel sick. He could still taste the blood and smoke from the mansion."Say that again, Nolan, " Dante said quietly. "Tell me what you just saw.""The room is a mess from the fire but the floor where you left Jake... It's empty, " Nolan's voice came through the phone. "There's a mark on the floor. Someone pulled him out before the wall fell. He didn't die on that floor. He was still breathing when we left."Dante's fingers tightened around his phone. He didn't breathe. He thought about the dressing room about hitting Jake's face about feeling his ribs break. He had been so sure."He fooled me, " Dante said to himself. A cold weight dropped into his stomach. "He lay there. Took it because he knew I'd leave when Kayla went into la
