Chapter 10 - The Heir
I swung my entire body weight aggressively against the side of the metal cabin.
I brought my heavy combat boot up forcefully and smashed the side window.
The reinforced glass shattered inward and sprayed dangerously across the tight cockpit.
The freezing, violent wind roared immediately into the small, chaotic cabin.
I grabbed the terrified pilot firmly by his thick leather jacket collar.
I violently and aggressively dragged him sideways entirely out of his pilot seat.
The sudden, brutal movement caused the helicopter to pitch sharply and dangerously to the left.
My mother completely lost her balance in the turbulence and dropped her weapon.
The silver gun slid quickly out the broken window and fell silently into the dark abyss.
I pulled my bruised and exhausted body fully inside the shaking cabin.
I lunged forward quickly and snatched my crying son securely from her evil grasp.
I carefully and fiercely cradled the tiny baby against my warm, protective chest.
I grabbed the main flight controls desperately with my one free hand.
I managed to completely stabilize the falling aircraft and force it back down toward the roof.
The heavy helicopter landed forcefully onto the concrete pad with a loud, grinding crash.
My loyal, heavily armed men finally burst triumphantly through the broken roof doors.
They immediately grabbed my screaming mother and placed her securely in heavy iron handcuffs.
Grace ran desperately through the pouring rain with happy tears streaming down her face.
She wrapped her arms tightly and lovingly around me and our beautiful baby boy.
We stood together warmly in the freezing storm, finally safe and completely whole.
My mother screamed in pure, unhinged rage as they dragged her away forever to face true mafia justice.
Exactly one peaceful, perfect month later, Grace and I stood together in our warm nursery.
We smiled happily as we watched our son sleep safely and soundly in his new crib.
Everything in our chaotic life was finally completely perfect and thoroughly resolved.
My encrypted phone suddenly vibrated sharply with a new message from an unknown number.
I slowly opened a single, high-resolution photograph showing Grace secretly meeting with the rival mafia boss I had fought.
May you like
The chilling caption underneath the photo simply read that she had played us both from the very beginning.
My blood ran absolutely cold as I realized the woman standing beside me was a complete stranger.
