Stormi's pov.

I showered and got dressed in the red, skin tight dress they gave me with red flats and a lady came in and did my hair. Curling it and putting it half way up.

They put little to no make up on.

When I was brought down to the kitchen, I took in my surroundings and counted everything I could see.

42 windows.

12 doors the reach outside.

67 guards.

102 cameras.

22 house servants.

This will be hard to do but I'll do whatever I can do to get Kaden, my child and myself free.

They aren't taking my Kaden away from me.

And they definitely aren't going to take my child away from me....again.

I smile at the little girl sitting in the highchair across from me.

Eventually everyone comes in.

My parents, Angie, another man and woman.

"This is your Uncle Sam and Aunt Linda." My dad says.

I give them a fake smile.

They gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"We've missed you so much." Linda said.

"Miss you too." I lie straight through my teeth.

"You've grown up so much!" Sam said.

I nod. "That's what time does to you."

"Manners." My mom hissed.

I apologized before I sat back down.

They said down and stayed silent.

Just staring at me.

Thankfully, the chefs brought in food.

A huge variety of different foods.

Putting little by little on my plate.

"Did Kaden get to eat?" I asked looking between my parents.

My dad chuckles. "Prisoners don't eat."

Then I don't eat either.

"So can we discuss what is going on?" I asked.

"After you eat." My mom snapped.

"I'm not hungry." I say staring at the food.

Kaden doesn't get to eat, I won't eat either.

"You have to feed your baby sweetie. Please eat." My dad says.

My mom snaps her head towards my dad who give her a glare.

"She isn't keeping the baby." She says.

"That's not your decision." He snaps back.

"It's not yours either!" She yells.

"The baby isn't Kaden's.... I cheated on Kaden. It's Manny's." I hold back the bile that formed in my throat.

They both look at me and my mom smiles.

"When?" She interrogates.

"After he found out I lost the last one, we hooked up several times. He wanted to give me a baby, a baby he knew I could keep. He's been hiding because he's afraid of Kaden. If you can give me access to a phone, I'll be happy to call the track phone to get him to come back.....I'll really love to see him."

That was easy to make them believe.

"Oh my! Why didn't you tell me earlier?" My mom says standing up and walking to me. She touches my stomach and smiles at me before looking towards my dad. "We're going to be grandparents."

"We will get you your phone after dinner." My dad promises.

After the congratulations, they begin to eat.

I ate a few bites of the chicken and potatoes but didn't eat much.

I felt bad for the few things I did eat.

After the cleared the table, my dad cleared his throat.

"We had to leave you behind because Kadens Uncle told us to leave or he'd kill not just us but you. Your mom inherited the Italian Mafia while the Hernandez family is over the Mexican and British one. His uncle wanted all of them especially ours since the Italian is the most notorious one.

Faking our deaths, helped him achieve his goal without murdering you. We've set back from afar to protect you because his uncle wanted us to give you the decision on your own life. He thought with us in your life, we wouldn't give in and let him take over. We didn't have a choice to leave you behind.

If we stayed, we all would of died. If we took you with us, we all would still of died. So we put a plan in process to keep eyes on you until we could get back to you.

We came to an agreement years ago before his uncle died but that was shortly broken when Kaden took over. He turned everyone that was on our side over to his and swore everyone in the Italian Mafia would suffer. We knew the second he found of you were next in line to take over, he'll kill you to protect his family name."

I sat still staring at him.

Unable to comprehend everything he said all at once.

Kaden wouldn't kill me.

He would never, ever kill me or my family.

Well,

He'll probably kill them now.

I want to kill them now.

"I understand. You have every right to want to kill him. I'm so sorry I was so mad about it and I'm thankful you did everything to protect me and,"

I look towards my little sister. "And Malina."

Malina looks at me and smiles.

I give her a smile back before looking towards my parents.

"I really need to get ahold of Manny. We talk everyday. He's probably so worried."

My dad nodded and snapped. A housemaid came in and he told her to get my phone from his room.

"Also, I think it would be better if Manny finished the job like he was paid to do." My mom suggested.

Stupid bitch.

I fake a smile and nod. "He definitely should especially after the beating Kaden gave him."

The beating that killed him.

When my dad retrieved my phone, he handed it to me.

I get up but my mom told me to stay in here.

I nodded and smiled at her.

I turned it on and dialed Romeo instantly.

I have to make it to 60 seconds for them to be able to trace the call.

"Stormi! Are you alright?" Romeo's voice is panicked.

I fight back the tears. "Manny! I'm so glad to finally hear from you. I'm so sorry I worried you. My parents and I have been spending time together. Guess what?"

"40 seconds storm." Romeo whispered.

"I am pregnant! Remember how we didn't know for sure but mommy gave me a test and it said pregnant." I moved the phone from my ear and looked towards my mother.

"Do you think we can get a doctor out to check the progress of our baby?"

She smiles and nods. "Yes sweetie. I'll make it for later today. When can he be here?"

"Momma wants to know when you'll be here Manny? They also captured Kaden and suggested you pay him back for beating you up!" I said as confident and happy as I could fighting back the tears and bile as hard as I could.

This is to save Kaden.

This is to save our baby.

I can do this.

"With the location of your bracelet and the phone call, we'll be there in a few hours. Stay strong Stormi. We're coming for you. Do you know how many of them there is?"

How the fuck can I say a number without making it obvious?

"Haha, I'm so sorry baby. The wifi password is 42W12D67G102C22HS. You must of been really bored without that password. I'll have momma give me the address so you can print off the directions to the house since you only have the flip phone but you'll have to check the outside of the printer for numbers because I don't know them by heart."

I looked at my mom who gave me the address as Romeo repeated the address and numbers with letters to everything I said. I'm praying he gets the letters for the windows, doors, guards, ect.

My heart melts a little bit when he confirms.

"We'll be there soon. Protect yourself and your baby. I love you."

"I love you too baby." I get out before he hangs up.

Thankfully Malina starts to cry and rubs her eyes interrupting the weird glances I was getting from everyone.

My mom stands up but I stand up insisting I'll put her to bed...and into safety.

I pick her up and smile at her as she lays her head on my chest.

"How old is she?"

"She'll be one April 29th. The day before your birthday." My dad says proudly.

Not only did you replace me but tried to replace my birthday too.

"Which room is hers?" I ask instantly to change the subject. "Actually do you mind if she takes a nap with me? I'm pretty tired and I would love to bond with my little sissy?"

My parents face brightens up and agree.

For mafia leaders they are pretty convincing.

Probably just my effects because Kaden gives in to me too but not anyone else.

Really?

Really thinking about yourself right now?

I follow my mom upstairs to Malina's room.

"She probably needs a diaper changing. would you like to do it since you'll have to learn soon anyways?"

I nod and smile as my mom shows me how to change her and how to make a bottle.

I grab her bottle and an extra diaper incase she makes an accident while we wait.

Romeo's few hours are alot shorter than everyone else's. He means he's on the way.

When my mom shows me the room I'll be staying in, she hands me comfy clothes to change in.

I grab the hoodie with shorts before crawling into bed and laying next to Malina.

"I'm so thankful you changed your mind about giving this a shot. We did it for your best interest."

"I know. I love you." I tell her somehow meaning the words that came out.

"I love you too." She says kissing both of us on the cheek before grabbing my phone and shutting the door behind her.

I cuddle my little sister in my arms and she smiles and coos until eventually falling asleep.

I check over at the clock and watch as the hour hand slowly moves.

Three hours later, I'm awoken to the loud yelling and bullets getting fired.

Romeo is here.
