Greatest Achievement

Kadens pov.

I headed upstairs after coming up with a plan with Jacob and Romeo.

I make a mental note to call my parents tomorrow so they can bring Lila with them on Monday when they head down again.

I stared at Stormi before I shut our bedroom door and locked it.

"I'm going to take a shower." I tell her looking down at myself.

My suit is ruined and dirty.

Blood is dried on the side of my face and I'm sure on other parts of my body from hitting the cement.

"I'll take one with you." She says getting off the bed.

I shake my head.

"I need to think. I can't think with your naked body next to me." I tell her.

I have to come up with a plan.

She doesn't say anything as she nods but the look in her eyes says it all.

The worried, upset and hurt in her eyes right now.

I push the urge to grab her as I grab boxers and basketball shorts from the closet before getting in the shower.

I need to come up with a a plan.

A plan comes easily to me when I'm underneath the hot water.

I scrub my body to rinse off the blood.

I scrubbed my body multiple times.

I don't miss the feeling of doing this all the time.

This is why I got out of it.

After I get out, I dry off and get dressed.

I brush my teeth, put deodorant on and spray a squirt of my cologne on before walking to my bed.

I sit down and grab Stormi placing her on my lap as I wrap my arms around her.

The tears flow down my face as the stress and potential loss finally hits me.

Stormi held me as I cried for a long time.

I couldn't stop thinking about the times I almost lost Stormi.

About her losing our first child over the people after her.

Almost losing not just her again, but losing my children as well.

And them, almost losing their father.

That's exactly why I gave Romeo the businesses and mafia because I didn't want my children growing up without parents.

With trauma or looking behind their shoulders constantly when they are in public.

Before I didn't care if I died, it was just me involved.

But now, my children and wife would be losing someone as well.
