1 Week Later

I put Isaac down for a nap then sat down on the couch eating my noodles.

Adrien had texted and said they were coming to check up on things. I watched the movie on the VCR when I could hear cars coming down the road and I felt sick.

Maybe it was just my imagination? I was just being paranoid right?

I walked out to the porch and waved to the car, when a second one pulled up behind it and I froze. Maybe they took seperate cars?

The doors opened on the first car and Cooper and Adrien stepped out. They looked as scared as I was.

I took a shaky breath as the front door opened on the second car, Ivan and Artur stepping out.

My nails dug into my arms as Nikolai then stepped out from the back. All I was thinking was 'run' so I ran back into the house.

I ran to the room and picked up Isaac. I raced out the back door where Ivan stood waiting.
"Ivan please."
I begged and he looked away from my eyes.

I looked back at the house and Nikolai was approaching. I looked towards the side and Artur stood there. I could try reach the bush but Ivan might get me.

I took a deep breath then began running for the bush. I ran past Ivan and kept running to the bush, ignoring the pine and branches scratching my bare feet.

I kept running until I quickly stopped and pressed my back to a tree. I glanced back and could see three of them, Nikokai hot on my tracks.

I held my breath as I could hear them getting closer. Isaac looked up at me and I smiled trying to keep him quiet but he giggled instead.

All movement stopped and I squeezed my eyes shut. I then began running back towards the house. Suddenly my waist was grabbed roughly and I was jerked back.

"Ivan! Arthur!"
Nikolai called and they came over. Ivan took Isaac and I reached for him. Nikolai grabbed my wrist and pulled me back.

He then lifted me off the ground and hung me over his shoulder. They began to march back to the cars where Cooper and Adrien glumly packed the boxes of our stuff.

Ivan handed Isaac to Adrien and she sat in the first car. Nikolai brought me to the second car and I began struggling.

"I want to be with my son!"
I shrieked. He ignored me and shoved me into the car. The other men began loading up the car with the boxes and he shut the door.

I tried to move away from Nikolai but he grabbed my wrists and pulled me back. I then punched his nose.

"I don't want to go back!"
I screamed and he stared at me rubbing his nose.
"I don't want to be locked up and abused!"
I screamed and he cupped my face.

I held his wrists and stared into his eyes, trying to get out of his grip.
"I'm never going to threaten you again, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have said what I said. I'm so very sorry."
He apologized and I just stared at him.

The door then opened and Adrien handed Isaac to me as Nikolai released me. I held Isaac close and Nikolai sat silent next to me.
"Ok."
I whispered. He nodded and I sighed.

Back we went.

**

Once we got there I sat in the car silently with Nikolai, Isaac fast asleep in my arms.

Nikolai opened the door and stepped out. He grabbed my upper arm gently and pulled me out of the car. He then shut the door and left me.

***********

"Emma just come unload your clothes."
Arthur begged.
"No. He'll do it-"
"No he wont. Just please come on. If he does I'll free you."
He said and I sighed before handing Isaac to Adrien then followed Arthur to the room.

We walked in and Nikolai stood there pulling out clothes from the boxes. I walked over and snatched them away from him.

I began to unpack my clothes as Arthur got me hangers. Nikolai stepped back and sat on the couch.

I had finished unpacking my clothes then sat down on the bed. Arthur left the room and I scanned the room for any chains.

Nikokai realized what I was doing because I kept glancing at him, the bed and the entire room. I rubbed my wrists and he stood up and walked over.

He crouched down in front of me and took my hands in his.
"Emma, I'm not going to chain you to the bed. I know I said I would but, I would never. I just didn't want you to leave again."
He said and I stared down at him.

He then stood up and sighed, pulling his hands away.
"I'm sorry."
He whispered and left the room.

"I'll be home tomorrow morning."
Nikolai said and I nodded, holding Isaac in my arms.

He then pecked my forehead, Isaac's forehead then got into the car and it left, I waved holding Isaac.

Cooper walked out and turned to me.
"You want me to get you-"
"I'm staying."
I replied and he raised an eyebrow.
"It's- I-I can't explain it. I'm going to stay. It'll be easier."
I mutterex and he nodded.

Little did he know I had a plan to keep Issac out of the mafia.

"Adrien you cannot tell Cooper. Whatever you do."
I said and she nodded. I took a deep breath hugging Isaac close to me.
"I love you Isaac. I'm so sorry."
I whispered hugging him tightly.

I put the envelope down in the box with his monkey. Isaac was wrapped in his favourite blanket.

I added the picture of Nikolai and I, and the picture of me holding him.

A tear slid down my cheek as I rested Isaac in the basket. I put the other note for Annie ontop of him.

He slept soundly and I kissed his forehead one last time before handing the basket to Adrien.

She yawned then smiled at me. She took the basket then got into the car and drove away.

I pressed my hand over my mouth and cried into it. I stumbled back into the estate.

I passed Isaac's room then turned around and looked in. I closed the door then left back to the bedroom.

I climbed into bed and cried. It felt like I had tore my heart out. Adrien was going to take Isaac to Annie who was currently visiting family nearby. She'd be back before Nikolai, hopefully.

She would text me in codes, for emergency and when she gets to Annie. Thankfully Annie was leaving back to New York tonight.

My phone then began to go off. I picked it up and glanced at it, it was Nikolai.

The clock said it was really late so I let it ring a bit more before answering, acting like I just woke up.

"Hello?"
I asked groggily.
"I didn't mean to wake you. I was just checking up on you."
He muttered and I sighed.
"Ok. Goodnight. I'll see you in the morning."
I whispered and he hung up.

I tossed my phone to the side and tried to sleep.

Read 5:30 a.m

I unlocked the window and helped her crawl back in. We left back up to my room and she crawled into bed next to me. We set up the movies and snacks, a girls night was our cover.

I began crying and she hugged me before we both fell asleep.

I had to do it. And now I was gonna be in trouble once Nikolai realized what happened.
