This is a long chapter tbh
Ace
"We found her" Mateo says through the phone
"You did! How!"
"Just come to your office, I'm already on my way to your house" and then he hangs up
I quickly get out of bed, making sure not to wake up the kids, Oliver was sleeping right next to me, then Nico, then Roman. Followed by Roman, Theigo, Gio, and finally at the other end was Enzo.
If you haven't figured it out already, I had the maids bring in a couple of lifts and mattresses so we could all sleep comfortably.
Thankfully none of the boys wake up and I am able to get out of bed successfully.
Once I reach the hall on which my office is on I catch Mateo making his way into the house, I signal for him to be quiet and he does so with ease.
I close the door to my office and we are finally able to speak up.
"How did you find her?"
"Well, I thought that going through some of our normal work would help calm everything that has been going on, and while I was doing that I passed by our allies and enemies list."
"And" I ask sitting down in my chair while Mateo powers up his laptop.
"Well, I went through the list and saw Gabriel Kings name, so I started to think about how he has not been too active since we took most of his drug buyers"
"He did it"
"Maybe, there is no exact evidence that he did, the dude we got refused to talk and so we just killed him. So he helped us in no way, but it makes sense- hypothetically of corse. I thought you should think about it, and maybe-"
"He did it" I say again "Gabriel is not one to fight for something, especially when it comes to money. Where is he now?"
"His team keeps moving, but I bet that by tomorrow morning we can have his location down."
"Today morning or tomorrow tomorrow morning?"
"Why do you mean?" Mateo asks looking at me as if I had just asked the stupidest question in the world.
"It's 12:36am, can we get Gabriel's location by, let's say, 8am, or will me not get it until tomorrow as in 24 hours"
"Nah man, we can get it by 8am if we call some of our tech team right now"
"Let's call them then"
Mateo nods and goes out the door, most likely to his office to call the men. "I'll meet you at the other office" he says
"I'll be there in about an hour" I say back " and thank you Mateo, really"
"You would do the same for me" I nod and with that he leaves
Once Mateo is out of the house I quietly go back up to the room, though this time I accidentally wake up Enzo.
"Ace?" He whisper yells
"Go to sleep Enzo, I'll be back later today, Stella and Kora will be here when you all wake up, the nannies will get the boys ready for school. If they ask any questions, tell them I had to run to the office" I say quickly
"But why are you going? It's not even 1am" he says looking at the clock and starts to get out of bed
"We might know where May is" I tell him
"I'll be ready in a bit" Enzo says, getting fully out of bed and heading for the door
"No, you need to sleep, plus you have school tomorrow, I will take care of this"
"No Ace, that woman took me is, took care of me, and helped me. I will not let you push me around s when it comes to her, she is the beat mother figure I have ever had in my life, and I'd rather die that not have her back. So I repeat, I am going to come." He says, looking me straight in the eyes
Kids got balls
"You will go to sleep, I'll have a car pick you up at 9am, it will take you to the office. You can help, but you need sleep understand?" He nods, " good" I say " we will need fully rested minds if we are going to bring back your mama"
And with that one word Enzo looks up at me with an emotion that I can't quite identify. But he hugs me.
"Thank you, I know you don't really like the idea of Gio and I being permanent. But thank you" he says
"You are a good kid, and show great skills both mentally and physically, May has wanted to adopt you two the moment you both stepped into the house" I chuckle, it's time I think to myself
"Really?" He says looking up at me
"And I think that once we get her back, we will do just that"
Enzo doesn't say anything, he just holds onto me, and I to him.
Once Enzo gets back into bed, I am able to get ready, it only takes me 15 minutes, and I am out the door.
—-time skip to at the office and a bit of searching—
"Gotcha" one of my men say
Mateo, Silas, Vincent, and I quickly go over to his computer
"I've got him Don, it says that they are still in Italy, but they are near a lake, or" he says, not looks closer "in the lake. I wouldn't be surprised if they are on a boat sir"
"Call the men in now, tell them it's time to get their queen back."
—time skip to 8:30am—
"Don we have for a clear view of the boat from the left, are you able to see it from the right?" Silas says from the walki talki
"Yes, Vincent, can you see it from the back?" I say into the little machine
"Affirmative" he says back
"Can you see them clearly from the front Mateo?" I ask
"Yes"
"When you see your squads signal you go, alright men" I say, "let's go boys"
Silas' team is the first to go, they are pretty smooth, only killing 2 men and clearing out the perimeter in order to allow Vincent's team onto the boat.
They were a bit messier, but after them my team along with Mateo's joins and we are set to fulfill the mission.
"What have you got?" I ask Vincent once I'm on the boat
"Nothing on the top deck, we haven't checked the bottom, so we are guessing May is down there, and if not her, then at least Gabriel is"
I nod and we begin to make our way down.
Two of my men go fist, opening doors and checking for any threats, nothing so far.
————————————————
May
I am currently tied to a new bed, and am sharing a room with Gabriel and Thomas.
I hate is to say the least, I have started to show more, and the men haven't even cared!
They don't even give me an extra meal!
B*starsds.
I can't fall asleep for some reason, Gabriel had been moving me around a lot lately, and tonight we are stationed in a boat. Great.
Right as I am about to fall asleep I hear foot steps, and not just a couple, but a lot.
Could it be? I ask myself. No. Don't get your hopes up May, it's been too long, don't get your hopes up.
But suddenly my assumptions grow stronger when Gabriel runs into our room from the restroom and Whisper yells at Thomas to get up
"Why?" He asks sleepily
"They are here, grab the girl and bring her with us!"
"I can't carry her, she's fat"
"I'm pregnant you as*holes, and leave me for all I care" I yell at them
Once I do, Gabriel runs over to me and covers my mouth "be quiet you b*tch!"
I look up and smirk, it's too late and he knows it, the foot steps are getting much closer and quicker now
"Hun, Thomas were is the gun" Gabriel says looking around
"I can't-" but Thomas is stopped mid statement when the door is pushed open by none other than Silas
Thank you Jesus I scream internally!
"Hands up now!" He yells
By now more and more men flood the room, and I finally see him. Ace.
"Back the f*ck up" Ace says in a stone cold tone. Gabriel and Thomas slowly back away, knowing that they are f*cked.
"Get them" he says, and a couple men that I can not identify grab my two kidnappers and cuff them, taking them out of the room, "kill or grab any others you see" the men nod and leave, taking Gabriel and Thomas with them.
"Do you want us to check her?" Vincent asks Ace, who is now right next to me, cutting my rope.
"Do you need to be checked mi amore?" Ace asks me
"No, just by my oncologist, for the baby" I say, Ace bends down and kisses my stomach repeatedly, not before taking a break to ask the guys to leave and get the car ready to go.
I finally out of the ropes and quckily wrap my arms around Ace, "your back, your here, please tell me your real" I cry
"I'm real my love, I found you, well my team did, but we are here, you are safe"
I kiss him hard, "the boys? Are they okay?"
"They are all okay, we have been a mess without you though, but we have you back" he chuckles
After a bit of holding and kissing, Ace hoist me up into his arms and carries me to the car, it takes about 2 hours to get back home, and all I do is sleep in his arms.
Finally, I can sleep in my husbands arms again
