Chapter 207 Not a Mother
Dakota's P.O.V.
I want to go after the two men who took Enzo, but first, I want to deal with Myra. I also need to find more information on these brothers before I slit their throats for kidnapping my little man. We pull into the compound and go into the house. I need to change my clothes because what I have on now is way too nice to get blood on.
"Ari and I have something to take care of. Stay with your mommy, okay?" I ask Enzo. I'm glad we prepared him for what to do if he were ever kidnapped again. With so many people coming after us, I didn't want to leave him defenseless.
"Okay, but let me know if you need my help." This little boy will be something special when he grows up. I kiss his forehead and smile.
"We will. I'm very proud of you for getting away from those men." His eyes light up, and he hugs me.
"I did what you and Daddy said, and I didn't cry when I was scared because I wanted to be strong like you." I hug him tighter.
"You are very strong." I kiss his head again before Ari, and I go to our bedroom. Xavier, Sarah, Tyler, and Shea took Myra to the negotiation room to make her nice and comfortable while we went to pick up Enzo.
"How are you?" I ask Ari as I remove my clothes and put on my negotiation black pants and tank top. He puts on black athletic shorts and a muscle shirt as I braid my hair.
"I'm still trying to process the fact that I may have a sister. There are so many people in the world who want children but can't have them. So why does someone like Myra, who doesn't want children, seem to have them with no problems?" I wrap my arms around his neck and look into his eyes.
"I'm happy she had you. I'm equally glad you haven't inherited any of her evil ways. What do you think about Lydia? I'm having a hard time blaming an eighteen-year-old who was manipulated by Myra, whether she's her birth mother or not." I want to give her a second chance, but I don't want it to backfire on us.
"She looks like a scared kid who got into something that's over her head. Let's deal with Myra and get the DNA results back. After that, we can decide what to do with her." Ari kisses me, and I wish for the day we can have time to actually enjoy each other without putting out fires everywhere.
"Are you sure you want to be in there with Myra? She is your mother." I look into his eyes, and he kisses my forehead.
"She may have given birth to me, but that's all she did. She has tried to kill us multiple times with no remorse. She is not my mother." He kisses me again, and then we head to the negotiation room. Galdino is waiting near the door.
"Are you okay?" I ask him. He has been pretty mellow lately, but I see some of that ruthless mob boss in his eyes right now.
"She tried to kill my family. I waited here so I wouldn't kill her before you two came out." I kiss his cheek, and he smiles.
"Let's not keep our guest waiting any longer," I tell him as I open the door. Myra is tied to a metal chair in the middle of the shed. There is a tarp underneath her, and she already has a black eye and a bloody lip.
"Sorry, my fist slipped and punched her in the face a few times," Sarah says while Xavier beams at her.
