Savage Crown II

Callum

As we prepared to leave the building I called Elijah ahead of time to take over things for a bit while we got everything sorted out back here.

"You found her and you're a dad?" He said shocked. "That's a huge no wonder you've been MIA for days"

"Yeah, it is, but onto the issues at hand did you find anything?" I asked.

"I have someone scanning the camera footage in Natalia's building already, something came back on one of the emergency alarm scans right off the bat"

"Where are they located?" I said as anger coursed through me.

"In penthouse, they have elevators to access the main floor obviously but they also have their own emergency exit stairs to use in case of an emergency. They're equipped with alarms upstairs and downstairs both alarms on it are unresponsive. Whoever came in disarmed those alarms and used the stairs as their main route to enter and exit without getting caught. I'll call you as soon as we can get the footage. One last thing, look out your window when you're on the plane." he let a small laugh out, " they weren't that hard to find." Elijah added with a small hint of amusement in his voice.

I hung up the phone and walked back inside Zoey's room. Where Natalia had already dressed her up and packed two luggage bags. Two large purple lined books rested on top of their black shelled luggage bags. "We have a library at home Natalia" I pointed out that she was packing more than needed.

"These are all photos of Zoey growing up" she quickly answered. "I'd thought it'd be best if these came with us, for you to see" she gave a small smile.

I grabbed their luggage as Natalia carried Zoey and I locked up the place. We loaded into a private town car Eli had arranged to pick us up and drove to the airport again except this time we'd be boarding my own private plane. A message from Elijah came in with a file to download onto my laptop.  Zoey was fussy and wanted to be in Natalia's arms as we we arrived in front of the plane "Is this Uncle Gio's new plane mama?" She asked as she looked up in amazement.

"This is our plane Zoey" I smiled as her eyes lit up in amazement. "Our plane daddy?"

"Yes sweetheart" I smiled down at her in Natalia's arms. Natalia put Zoey to bed in main bedroom cabin as soon we loaded in. "I'll take the pull out outside tonight, so you can have your privacy with Zoey"

Natalia stared at me biting her lip at the door to the bedroom, "did your guy find anything on who broke in?"

"He did actually, I'll be reviewing it as soon as the files finish uploading to my laptop." I replied.

"Can you call me when they're ready?" She asked, "maybe I can help see if they look familiar?" She blushed as I studied her. Her smooth almond skin glowing as she tucked a loose strand of her dark brown hair behind her ear. Motherhood had made Natalia even more beautiful. It had brought out her nurturing and shy side. A shy side I never thought Natalia could have but it all made her even more attractive.

We hadn't even been home for more than a week and I was already letting myself give into my feelings and vulnerability with Callum. As we sat down stairs feeling his lips locked on mine was like throwing a match into a barrel full of gasoline. Ever since Callum I hadn't been with anyone else. No one else sparked anything inside of me the way he still does to this day. Four years ago my heart shattered and time froze still and here we were sitting down ravaging eachother hunrily and heavily as if it was us from before.

Trouble had already found us and we were back on a plane heading to Chicago right to the dead center of the life that I tried to keep Zoey away from.

Callum remained calm on the flight home but I could tell he wanted blood for whoever broke into the apartment. The rage coursing through every vein in his body, as he tightly gripped his phone in one hand and stared out the window with a dead expression as we were waiting for any information on who had broken into our daughter's room.
