CHAPTER 37

[Edited with a comforter 'cause I'm tired]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alex got a call just when Alaina moved away from the hug. The little one patiently waited for her father to pick up the call. He frowned at the caller Id and picked it up immediately.

"Hey— " "What?!! I'm coming, Ed. Keep everyone safe. I'll be there soon!" Alex replied and hung up. He turned to Diana with a worried look.

"What happened?" she asked with a frown. Her heartbeat suddenly rose, she was having a feeling that something bad will happen. "Say it!" she walked down the stairs.

"The mansion is under attack. Everyone was there. B-Belle got injured a little and Zane was shot. Eden, Adam, and Benjamin are handling things there. You back go with Alaina. I'll handle everything here. Just be safe," Alex said, making the ground beneath her feet slip away.

"B-Belle, how is she? What happened to her?"

"She is fine. Adam is taken to the hospital. Please leave with Alaina. Stay safe!" Alex said, pushing them towards the plane gently. "Call me once you reach there."

"No. I'm not leaving Belle and Bun in danger."

"I promise not to let even a scratch on her. Just go!"

"No— "

"Diana, stop being stubborn and go!" Alex yelled, making her flinch. "Please," he requested in a whisper.

"But... fine, you promised. Go and save them," she said. Alex nodded and got inside the car before driving away speedily.

"Mommy, are we leaving?" Alaina asked. Diana turned to her and smiled.

"How can I leave them in danger? Baby, can you do something for mumma?" she asked, earning a quick nod from the other.

AT MANSION

Alex pulled over two blocks away and rushed to the back door his pistol all ready in his hands. With agile movements, he entered the place of attack, the living room.

"Fuckers," he muttered under his breath before starting to shoot the enemies while hiding. Eden spotted him when he signaled him for cover up. Eden and Adam covered him up when he moved upstairs, shooting one or two in the process.

Alex searched the rooms upstairs for the opposite gang, but found none until he entered his study. There sat his long-term enemy and Ryan's 'best friend', Conner.

"Hey, Walker. Long time no see," Conner said, playing with his gun while sitting on the chair like he is a king. Alex glared at him, ready to shoot him straight in the middle of his forehead.

"Hello Reynolds, are you done hiding in your little den like a mouse?" Alex said, grabbing a seat on the couch, with his legs folded one above another, like a king. "What brings you at my house? You could have called Zane if you needed to talk."

"Of course, Walker. But I don't need to talk. I need your death. So get ready to die," Conner smirked until Alex did the same, making him confuse.

"I heard little Conner has a pretty wife and a little bud. I wonder— "

"DON'T YOU DARE, WALKER!" Conner yelled, pointing his gun.

"Then think when your mf best friend spoke the same thing about MY WIFE!" Alex yelled back, standing up and glaring at him. Conner's stiffened muscles rested a little. "He had my daughter at gun point. What if it was your child— "
