Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

When Henry finally settled down, his cries echoed through the house, calling out for "Mommy, waah Daddy, home sweet home!" It was nighttime, and the little guy was starting to miss his parents.

Later that evening, Andre showed up at the hotel, clapping his hands. "Hey Henry, Daddy's here!" Henry, all smiles, raised his tiny arms and dashed barefoot into his dad's embrace. Andre glanced at his tired friend and noticed there wasn't a woman in sight. "Annie didn't come?"

"Not a chance," Conner huffed, still fuming about being outsmarted by her and her godson.

Andre, holding his son, asked, "Is everything sorted out?"

"Yeah, all taken care of," Conner replied, rubbing his nose. "Just like you said. We left Greg by the roadside for them to find. The others? Too beat up or disabled. We handed those international hitmen over to the police as a friendly gesture. We also snapped some pics and posted them on the Dark Web, letting everyone know there's a force standing up to them.

The Dark Web can't afford to expose us, because that would mean admitting they trained those shadowy assassins, which would put them under the international police's microscope. If they keep quiet, they just have to eat this loss.

Andre, you think the Dark Web will be too thrilled with this 'gift'? Snatching a dozen well-trained folks from them is like taking a bite right out of their side."

Andre, cuddling his adorable little guy, advised, "Keep an eye on your loved ones for now. Cut down on going out if you can, and make sure you've got protection. Be careful yourself."

Henry, resting his tiny face on his dad's shoulder, was blissfully unaware of what his dad was talking about.

Meanwhile, Kon, after seeing the photos Conner sent, was furious and flipped the table. "Andre, we're enemies for life now."

His subordinate, head bowed, said, "Mr. Kon, we might have to cut Greg loose."

"We sacrificed over a dozen men to save him; there's no way we're giving up now."

The subordinate added, "He... he... he won't be able to use a computer anymore." Kon was stunned. "What did you just say?"

He had deployed over a dozen assassins just for this, and now, not only had they lost contact, but the guy they were trying to save was also beyond negotiation? Maja, overhearing from behind a curtain, gave a disdainful look and walked away.

"They want to outdo me in ruthlessness?" Kon seethed with rage. "Let's see who's tougher! I'm heading to Havenbrook myself."noveldrama

The Cedillo family.

After a day of play, Henry was all sweaty and worn out. His

clean-freak mom and dad whisked him off to the bathroom, taking turns to give him a bath. Henry cried the whole time, only calming down once he was wrapped in a towel and cuddled up in his dad's arms.

Andre, with a towel in hand, gently dried his son's hair while lulling him to sleep. Mia, having quickly showered, came out to take their still fussy son into her arms. Her hair was still damp and loosely wrapped. "Babe, go take your shower. I'll rock him to sleep." Content bétongs to
