Summary: A meeting goes entirely wrong and Benedict is close to losing everything he ever wanted

Author's Note: this is set to follow on Treacherous. It’s angsty and it’s what my muse wanted to write after seeing the photo above.

Enjoy 😉

Benedict felt his heart in his mouth when he saw her, the blood trickling down her arm, her beautiful face pale as she was carried through the gates into Penwood Park.

Why had he not gone with her… why had she been so insistent that she could manage this by herself?!

Now he was going to lose her… just a week after they had agreed to spend the rest of their lives together…

He had thought he’d heard wrong at first, “Lady Penwood’s been shot…”

The words had sent him into a spiral of despair, Kate had been almost catatonic with panic as Anthony had tried to calm her down. She always went with her… always when it might be dangerous but they’d all assumed that everything would be okay.

It was supposed to be okay.

Sophie had told Kate to stay behind, she was pregnant and therefore not in any state to accompany her… Sophie had her gun strapped to her inner thigh if she needed it, not that she liked using it, nor had she ever needed it…

But Benedict had insisted. He’d asked to go with her… as her protection but she’d kissed his temple, told him he was being silly and that all would be well, it was a meeting in broad daylight…

No one had envisaged it going so wrong…

It was supposed to be straight forward, Sophie was to go in, call off the agreements with the Italians…

But the moment she walked in she knew something was off…

Jameson, her male bodyguard who walked with her paused and put a hand on her arm, he didn’t recognise the faces of the men that they were meeting. They’d met the Rosso’s a few times before… but these… he didn’t know.

These were the Italian Mob, clearly forgetting that Sophie had her own Italian Mob Connections with her Aunt but the woman that walked out of the shadows…

Jameson knew well. “Sienna! Lady P get down!” He yelled and Sophie ducked as a shot went flying over her head.

He was a Bridgerton guard. He was the compromise Sophie had agreed to take and by God was she pleased she had, he whipped his gun out and shot the first man before he had a chance to shoot Sophie…

The woman was Anthony’s ex… Sophie had walked into an Ambush, she unclipped her gun and got off two shots before she heard a scream, a shot and then knew nothing but a searing pain in her shoulder, then nothing but darkness…

“LADY PENWOOD HAS BEEN SHOT. CODE RED!” Jameson yelled as he fired off three more shots, taking out each of the men around Sienna and his partner, who’d taken a bullet to the leg, got the final shot off, hitting a retreating Sienna in the back causing her to land face first on the floor.

Jameson ran over to his new boss, the person he was supposed to protect and knew this was not going to go well when he called it in…

It was carnage. He knew she should go straight to the hospital, the rate she was losing blood but Penwood was closer, Mary was a nurse… they had doctors on the staff and he knew if he called Anthony, he’d get a clean up crew to deal with this…

But he hadn’t expected it to be like the world had ended.

He scooped Sophie into his arms and carried her to the car, putting as much pressure on her wound as he could manage whilst the driver helped Thomas into the car as he bound his leg.

Sophie was their priority, get her back safe or die trying.

He called in the incident in the car…

Back at the house, Mary had come running through the hallway with the doctor behind her, giving orders for a room to be prepared for them to work on Sophie and when Benedict and Kate heard about it… the screams…

Anthony wasn’t sure which of them screamed the worst.

They had been at Penwood, they were overseeing the merger and it never occurred to Anthony that the Rosso’s were his ex-girlfriend’s family… he knew part of them were in their world but not that Sienna would stoop to this level… unless she expected him to be there as well…

He calmed Kate and was working on his brother when the door flew open and Sophie’s limp body was being carried in, Jameson, covered in blood and sweat as he ran through the house, looking like he’d seen death.

Sophie looked pale and a trail of blood followed her as they ran through to the room Mary was in and she instantly started barking orders.

Benedict had to be held up but the moment Sophie disappeared behind the now closed door to the kitchen he was pounding on the door “let me in!!!” he needed to be by her side, he would not let anything happen to her.

He could not, he would not lose her. Not now… not when they were so close.

“Please…” he begged as he banged on the door, tears falling down his face, he didn’t care who was watching, he saw him like this, he didn’t care that his reputation for being a hardman were going out of the window. This was the love of his life in there… dying for all he knew.

He sobbed and begged at the door but no one was listening.

Anthony tried to get him up, tried to get him to move away from the door but it was no good.

Even when two more doctors came into the house, running down to the door he’d tried to get in but Mary had just shoved him out of the way with surprising strength “NO! You need to let us do our work!” she yelled at him and Benedict just fell once more to the floor, knees to his chest as he sobbed and prayed that Sophie would be okay.

After what felt like an eternity, Mary eventually appeared, four hours later, looking exhausted, covered in blood but relieved as she bent down to an almost comatosed Benedict who was staring but not seeing the space in front of him.

“She’s awake, she’s frail but she’s alive if you wish to see her” she said softly.

She’d tell Kate tomorrow, Kate could come tomorrow, Anthony had finally carried her to bed after 2 hours of no news and promised to wake her with news. Mary had been given the message by Edwina who along with Colin and Eloise were setting up a search party to ensure that the Rosso’s were brought to justice for this…

Benedict got up and made his way into the room, it smelt like a hospital theatre, the clawing smell almost made him throw up but he had to be strong, he had to be there for her, if she was awake he had to be the first face she saw. The first one to be relieved that she was okay…

After Mary who was like her mother…

Sophie was lying on a makeshift bed, pale and weak, the blood stains running down her side and a bandage over her clavicle and her arm in a sling to help her arm heal. “Hey you” she said as she saw a tired, almost broken Benedict making his way over to her.

Benedict broke down once again, he thought he had no tears left to cry, but seeing her, hearing her weak voice he shattered and ran over to her, moving to her right side and pressed kisses all over her “you’re okay… you’re okay” he said over and over again, his hands touching her face, her arm, everything reassuring himself that she was there and she was really real.

“I’m okay really. It was barely…”

“You got shot don’t you dare say it was barely a scratch… i saw them… i saw…” he shuddered.

Sophie teached her hand up and pressed her hand on his cheek, “I’m fine, Mary got the bullet out… it was just… near a major artery is all… I lost some blood. I’ll be okay. Please… just sit down” she pleaded with him

Benedict sat down and took her hand in his, the blood stains still there down her arm “please don’t ever scare me like that again… please. No more going out without me… in fact. No more going out, you need something doing you said me or Jameson… no more…”

Sophie sighed and looked at him, the resolution in his face but the terror she’d felt the moment before she’d slipped into unconsciousness… she never wanted to experience again, she didn’t want to leave Benedict, she didn’t want to lose him and she knew it was the reason she was leaving this life behind, why they were moving away from it all…

“No more…” she said weakly.

“I…” Benedict said “wait… you agree?”

Sophie nodded weakly. “It’s why I want to leave this life.. My last thought before I blacked out was of you, of Kate… the life we’re trying to build… stability. No more… no more risk, for either of us… it’s done. It’s over…” she said

Benedict let out a puff of relief “good… I can't lose you. There is no me without you, so please… no more being stupid or reckless…”

“No more” she grinned a little drunkenly “i love you Ben”

“I love you too Soph… now sleep, i’ll be here when you wake” he said kissing her blood stained hand.

“Promise?”

“always”

Ever consider the Bridgertons as a Mafia family AU? Like, the aesthetically pleasing sight of them in all black, Violet going down hall and one by one from oldest to youngest child appear either side of her. Right: Anthony, Colin, Eloise, Gregory. Left: Benedict, Daphne, Francesca, Hyacinth. Just Violet in the centre. Bonus: the spouses are normal people who wanted a normal life… most of them.

Omg yesss. I can see this totally happening.

-Daphne and Simon, with Daphne convincing Simon the very normal investment banker to be her cover/ Alibi anytime she's out playing honeypot for the mafia. Except they do fall in love and Simon joins the family business.

-Anthony and Kate as the typical mobster/ detective enemies to lovers where Kate is always trying to arrest him. But one day she shows up at his place badly injured because he's the only one she trusts not to kill her and Anthony absolutely loses it and goes on a murder spree on whoever hurt his favorite detective. Eventually Anthony and Kate come to a compromise and they open a detective agency together with him as a partner consultant

-Benedict falling inlove with a mystery girl at one of their mafia parties. But also absolutely crushing on Sophie the hard working barista of his favorite coffee shop. Until Araminta tries to sell Sophie to a pimp behind her back and Benedict practically kidnaps her and sets her up to be his mother's maid because there's no way he's letting her go back there. And unless she plans on letting him kill Araminta, she's his now, and he's keeping her. Even if she refuses to be his mistress. but eventually Benedict does give up the mafia to confess his love and have that normal life Sophie wants.

-Colin thinks his sister's best friend is the only thing pure and innocent in his life. Until he follows Penelope to a bdsm club and discovers she's actually into stuff way badder than him. Oh the betrayal, but also, the makeup sex. And friends to lovers passion, joining teams to build their own crime ring

-Eloise went undercover pretending be the cousin of some bothanist dead wife because he was developing a deadly plant excellent for mafia uses. But she got too carried away playing house with this Phillip and his kids. Fell in love And decided to marry him for real behind her family's back. When her 4 mobster brothers tried to kill him Phillip was not amused. But turns out he's a boxer and an excellent shot, so he fits right in with the family business and as long as Eloise doesn't leave him, he's okay with pretty much anything, her family's crimes included. (Years later it's Eloise who takes over for Violet after Anthony goes civilian)

-Francesca tried getting out and married John. But when he was murdered and she discovered that John's cousin Michael is sort of a mobster himself. so he pulls her back into the criminal world while they figure out who murdered John. Michael seduces Francesca, and Francesca seduces Michael. They marry and low key run the Scottish criminal world

-Hyacinth went on a seduction mission to steal Gareth's ancestral family diamonds, but the diamonds were fake and she ended up seduced herself. Teaming up with Gareth to bring down his narc of a father. Hyacinth never actually finds out what Gareth does for a living. Opposing mob Madam Agatha Danbury prefers it that way. Neither ever tells the other that they're 3rd generation mafia kids

-Gregory Fell in love with a popular girl in school and asked her best friend for help. He ends up liking the friend a lot more. After some time hanging out with him Lucy stumbles on Gregory's mob identity and he ends up teaching her all about it. Turns out Lucy is good at this. Because her uncle is a total creep. And she basically learned intimidation tactics at home. Gregory realizes he's inlove and she's inlove with him too. But when her uncle puts her in danger to save himself from charges of national treason. Gregory does everything he can to save her.

Someone plz write this!! Plz 🥺🥺

She knew it was wrong, they shouldn’t be doing this.

It shouldn’t feel so good… she’d never wanted this life and had vowed that she wouldn’t make the same mistakes her father did but here she was… pressed up against a wall with a man who could easily kill her.

Their families were rivals, the two largest crime families, her the boss, him the second in command… it shouldn’t feel this good.

It was a treacherous path, a dangerous road and it was reckless. She knew she should be smart and walk away. To stop this before it even begins but as his name echoed between them, his lips on hers and she asked him to stay despite knowing this couldn’t end well…

To love this man, to let this man love her… it was treacherous.

Or

Sophie Gunningworth is the head of the Penwood Crime Family and vowed she would never marry, never love and never let anyone into this world… until Benedict Bridgerton, second in command in the Bridgerton Family, followed her into the alleyway after the Opera… and she finds herself in a treacherous position…

Or

The Mafia AU that I said I’d probably never write…

Author's Note: Part 2 of the Mafia Au where they never went legitimate…

Written for the Anon Ask for time and @ambitionspassionscoffee who provided the picture

Enjoy

Time.

Time was precious.

Time was sparse.

Time was running out.

Anthony had given Sophie and Benedict the news that they had a lead on their little boy and they’d took off towards the main meeting room, they weren’t waiting for the men to come to them.

It was time for action.

Sophie was not about to sit around idly whilst someone had her little boy. Whoever had taken him had pissed off the protective lioness in her and she was out for blood.

Benedict could see the look in his wife’s eye, it was feral and frantic and it both scared him and turned him on at the same time.

His wife was one of the most powerful women in the country and she was not to be fucked with and those bastards were about to find out what happens when you fuck with the Bridgerton and Penwood Crime families…

She strode into the room, her tears from an hour ago long forgotten and looked every part the Queen ready to take control of the situation. The men in the room all jumped to attention, Sophie saw Emily, the bruises she had, the wounds from her fight back being tended to by Mary and she thanked her for trying to protect her son after she’d broken down in tears for not being able to stop them taking him.

The news that worried Sophie the most was that John and his team had learned that there must be a mole in the family.

there was no one else who would have known that Emily was walking Charlie, that the guards were behind her, outside of the family on that day as they changed the route, the walkers every day.

The guards had been taken out first, both of them shot before they’d attacked Emily so by the time the call was made to John and the backup arrived, Charlie had been taken.

Thomas, one of the guards, had remembered the licence plate of the car that he saw stopping and grabbing Emily and where Charlie was eventually bundled into. Unlike his partner, Steve, who had been killed instantly by the bullet, Thomas’ reaction to his partner being shot meant he’d taken it in the shoulder, rather than the head so he’d been able to witness a lot of what was going on but not able to move and stop what was happening in front of him.

John had run the registration through the databases with the help of Eloise and Edwina but had found that it was registered under a fake name but CCTV in the area had meant they’d been able to track the car through the CCTV network to a warehouse and the car was still there.

“Do we know how many people are in the warehouse?” Benedict asked

“No sir, without doing a scoping mission with thermal radar we won’t know, but I’d make the assumption based on the cars that are there there are at least a dozen if not more…” John said. “Emily had some hair from the attacker and has given a description to Eloise who has gone off to try and find out more so we may be able to find out who he is and who he is working for. Basset reached out to say they don’t know anything but are using their resources to help, something about crossing the line with a child…”

“How do the Basset’s know?” Anthony asked

“Not sure sir but it’s possible they had someone in the area who saw Emily attacked…” John explained. “But as far as I am aware the only people who know that Master Charlie was taken are the Bridgerton and Penwood’s directly and all communications have been blocked, other than to Lady Penwood and Mr Bridgerton’s phones in case of a random call”

Anthony frowned, he knew Simon Basset and the Hastings family well having gone through school with him but as far as he was aware there were no affiliates within the family and whilst Colin and Daphne weren’t home, he knew Colin was in Italy on a job for them and Daphne was with her friends and was coming straight home after getting the news.

“I’m not waiting around for them to harm Charlie, Ben we need to move, John, get Jones’ team ready… Anthony…?” Sophie said turning to her brother in law

“Graves and Humboldt are on their way with their teams, Kate offered to come but she can’t walk…” Anthony said.

Kate was further along in her second pregnancy than Sophie with only a few weeks to go before she was due to give birth whereas Sophie was only 12 weeks along and they’d only just started telling people so Sophie understood “it’s fine, having the three best teams will make me feel better. I want everyone ready and in the prep room in 20 minutes, is that understood?” Sophie ordered.

John nodded as did Anthony and the two men left, “i’m going to change” Sophie said to her husband and left before he realised what she meant to do.

“Soph, you can’t…” Benedict said but his sentence was drowned out by Sophie’s glare from the stairs.

“If you think I am not coming you’ve got another thing coming, they have my baby Ben! MY BABY. I am able to move, I know I am pregnant and I will wear a vest but I am coming and that’s final…” she said in her most commanding voice and Benedict knew it was pointless to argue, he knew she would want to be there and he just figured if he went in first then he could protect her.

“Fair enough but you better wear the vest, I am not losing any of you today” he said as he followed her upstairs to change.

20 minutes later they were in the prep room and Sophie was walking between them giving orders.

“Graves, you’re team will go in at the rear, Humboldt from the right and Jones’ team, along with Ben, Anthony and myself will go in from the front, Eloise and Edwina will be providing us with communication and CCTV, they’re attempting to break into the warehouse security to give us cover, once we have the word that that has been done then we will going in, your orders are simple. I want the person in charge to be kept alive, anyone else kill them, but do not harm my son. Is that clear?”

Everyone nodded “Edi, El, i want regular updates on the drive over, get into that system…”

“Of course Soph, i’ve got the headset linked so we will be in direct contact with you, Ben and Ant all the way through, you will hear everyone and us, and everyone will hear you but only us two can get through to you three” Eloise explained as she walked over and gave Sophie, Ben and Ant a new earpiece.

“Right, everyone out, make sure you’re fully loaded and you’ve got spare bullets, I don’t want anyone caught short” Anthony bellowed.

Mary was on standby with the medics for any injuries, Nicholas and Georgiana Rokesby were nearby should they need more serious care.

Sophie was just hopeful they wouldn’t be needed.

Sophie and Benedict got in their own car, they didn’t want it to be too obvious that there was nearly an army battalion on it’s way, they had the element of surprise. It had only been a few hours and the kidnappers hadn’t been in touch for a random yet which worried Sophie.

She knew from experience you normally get in contact quickly but she had to wonder if Emily fighting back and the back up arriving had scuppered their plans and they had to rethink, but either way they had the element of surprise, they didn’t know they were coming.

Benedict drove them as Sophie was too worked up, he had managed to keep his cool a lot better than Sophie had. Sophie felt like an emotional wreck but for Benedict, he’d been able to detach himself, this was just another job, yes it was his son and he was filled with adrenaline like he’d never known but he knew what he had to do, get his wife and his son safe, everyone else would take care of everyone else.

The car pulled up just outside of the compound of the warehouse and radioed Eloise and Edwina “are we in? Do we have the all clear to go in?”

“We’re just recording a loop to play over the top so they don’t see you coming” Eloise said “two seconds… yeah… yeah… good. Great, you’re good to go. The car and everything is still there, we’ve got the live feed, we can see in, there are about a dozen people there”

“Recognise anyone?” Sophie asked

“No, they’re all just… waiting around for something?”

“Maybe whoever gave the order to take him isn’t there yet, or they’re waiting for instructions” Benedict offered

“Perhaps but now’s our time, everyone in position, no one move until I give the say so”

There was unanimous agreement through the ear piece as Benedict parked the car up and he and Sophie got their guns out, checking them to make sure they were okay. “Ready?” he asked her “you can just stop here if you want… I don’t want you getting hurt”

“Ben, they’ve got our boy, there is no way in hell am I stopping here i’ve got my vest on, I’m getting our son back” she said holding out her gun alongside his, “they picked a fight with the wrong family”

Benedict saw the steely determination in his wife’s eyes and knew there was going to be no talking her down so he nodded “let’s go get our son”

They got out of the car, looked over and saw the other team in positions and Anthony with his team, they got the radio message that the two other teams were in position and with that Sophie gave the all clear.

It was like a tactical operation, all three teams entered at the same time and there was pandemonium inside, the two back teams took out the crew at the back without them even having a chance to get a shot off.

Sophie came in behind her husband, her gun held aloft as the two men nearest to the door looked shocked to see her and went to grab their guns but she and Benedict, in a swift motion killed them both, single shots to the head.

Sophie heard her baby start to scream with all the noise, his wails of Mama, having been able to see her from the doorway nearly had her running over to him immediately but as she looked a man popped up from behind the cot he was in and fired a shot which narrowly missed her, but Benedict got the shot off and took the man out.

One by one the kidnapping crew was taken out, it was clear there was no ringleader, each one of them had no idea what was going on, just waiting around and within minutes every one of them were dead and Sophie ran over to her son and wrapped her arms around him “it’s okay my sweet prince. Mama is here… she’s here… she’s got you…”

Benedict wrapped his arms around his family and hugged them tightly pleased that his son was safe and they sent the crew around to ensure they’d gotten everyone and there was no one left to ambush them so they were alone. Anthony had agreed to wait at the door.

“Well… well… well…” came a voice that Sophie recognised and it made her blood crawl as she moved her son to his side and Benedict took a step in front of his family instinctively as he felt Sophie stiffen in his arms.

He had no idea who this woman was but clearly whoever it was made Sophie uncomfortable

“Look what the cat dragged in” the woman sneered

“I could say the same thing about you Rosa… how the fuck did you get out of jail” Sophie snapped

“Well i’ve got particular talents and they tend to get me out of trouble… and I had revenge to take…”

“Revenge? I did fuck all to you Rosa. you’re delusional”

“You had my mother killed…”

“Your mother put a target on her own back for killing my father and trying to take over the Penwood family… and for killing Edmund Bridgerton and then trying to kill the Basset’s as well”

“That’s your opinion of what happened…”

“No its the fucking truth Rosa but it still doesn’t explain why the fuck you took my son! He’s a fucking innocent child…”

“He’s your brat… you took everything from me when you didn’t stop my mother being killed…”

“Why would i? she’s just lucky I didn’t get to her first, i’d have made sure it hurt more than a fucking single bullet… after all the fucking misery she put me through…”

“You deserved it. You don’t deserve to be happy. You ruined my life!” Rosamund said

“No Rosa, i did nothing. This was my father’s family, this was his, he loved me. Just because he wasn’t married to my mother doesn’t make it any different! Your mother just stopped them being able to marry by taking my mother out!” Sophie yelled back.

Rosa snorted “it doesn’t matter now anyway. I’ve got all three of you here… I can make sure that you lose everything… everything you’ve ever loved…” she said getting her gun out of her pocket and pointing it at Benedict who pointed his own back at her.

Sophie just rolled her eyes “if you wanted to kill us, you’d have done it before now…”

Rosa cocked her gun “want to test that?”

“You never were a good shot Rosa…” Sophie snorted as she got her own gun out, handing Charlie to Benedict, so his face was not looking directly at Rosamund, “and you hesitate too much” and before Rosamund could do anything Sophie had already fired hers.

Her aim was true and she hit Rosamund right between the eyes.

There was a stampede of people running in with their guns held up and looking around as they saw Sophie holstering her gun “the threat is done. It’s over… she can’t hurt us anymore…” she said looking around.

“Edi, can you let Mary know it was Rosa and i’m gonna need to see Posy if she can call her. And we’re gonna need a clean up crew. I want these bodies gone never to be found”

She then turned to her husband and her son, taking Charlie back off her husband and kissed his temple “let's go home little man shall we?”

Charlie giggled and tugged his mama’s hair “‘ome mama”

“Home” Benedict said, wrapping his arms around his wife and son, not sparing a glance to the woman who had tried to take everything from them, she was gone, never to harm them again.

Summary: what’s the worst pain a person can go through…?

Author's Note: this is set in the Mafia Au but it’s a one we’re they never went legitimate…

Enjoy

“Lady Penwood…” came the voice of her trusted advisor… John Footman had been by her side through thick and thin and remained loyal even after she’d joined the Penwood Crime family with that of the Bridgerton Crime family when she married Benedict and her second in command, Kate Sharma married Anthony.

Together they’d become the most feared crime family in the country and no one fucked with them…

Or she thought.

She looked up from her note book, her pen perched between her teeth as she figured out her next moves.

She and Anthony ran different parts of the business. She handled the illegal goods and he dealt with everything else. She had the connections.

“Yes John what is it?” She asked, glancing at her husband who was sketching again.

Sophie loved that he’d sometimes just sit and draw her whilst she was working and now she was pregnant again with their second child, he was obsessed and couldn’t stop drawing her.

“I… erm… there has been… there has been an incident” John said, the hesitation was noticeable and Benedict didn’t like the nerves coming from their head of security and he put his pencil down and got up from his slouched position.

“What kind of incident?” Benedict asked.

There were a million possibilities going through through his mind at that very moment but what came out of his mouth had not even made the top 1000 things he thought it could have possibly been.

“Ms Metcalf and the security team… they… they were attacked on their way back with Master Charlie…”

Sophie’s face drained of all colour as she felt terror like she’d never felt before.

Benedict stood up “are… are they okay?!” He demanded

“I…I…” John stammered

“Out with man!!!” Benedict yelled

“Ben! Stop! Just give him a chance!” Sophie managed to get out. She needed her husband to keep his cool, to keep calm… at least for now.

Revenge would come later.

“Jameson and King took a bullet each, Emily has a broken nose and concussion” John managed to explain and Sophie was getting irate at the thought of someone touching the security team around her 18 month old son and his nanny.

Emily was practically family. She would be family eventually as she was engaged to Edwina but that was besides the point.

Sophie had made it clear in the last that her family was out of bounds… and to attack the men around her son… this was unforgivable and was tantamount to declaring war…

But she noticed he hadn’t said anything about Charlie “what about Charlie? Is he safe?” Sophie asked

“I… they took… they took…” John stammered trying to fight back the tears he felt and the news he didn’t want to pass on.

“Took who?”

“Ma…master Charlie…”

Sophie let out a scream of pain and fury like she’d known she could manage, it was a sound that put the fear of god in anyone who heard it and Benedict’s noise was something akin to that of a wounded animal.

“Who where they John? Who the fuck has my son?!??” Sophie screamed.

“Please calm down Lady Penwood!”

“Don’t Fucking tell me to calm down!! Someone has my baby!!!! I will fucking not calm down!!!”

“Sophie I get your furious and worried and I am too but please… just please try and calm a bit for the baby… we will find out” Benedict said turning on John

“What is being done?”

“I’m scanning all the CCTV in the area. They weren’t too far from the house when it happened sir. I’ve sent for Eloise, Mr Anthony and Edwina to help… we have some evidence as Emily fought back”

“I want everything on my desk in an hour. Everyone is to be called in. No Fucking excuses. This a fucking code red. Anyone who doesn’t show, and doesn’t have a fucking good excuse is fired and assumed to be part of it and will be dealt accordingly!!! Whoever has taken my boy is going to Fucking pay for it…the gloves are off. They’ve picked a fight with the wrong Fucking family and anyone who gets in my way… will pay the fucking price” Sophie declared.

“Right away with Lady Penwood” John said and ran out of the room and the moment he was gone Sophie’s strength left her and Benedict saw as he rushed to his pregnant wives side and caught her just in time and held her as she sobbed.

“My baby!! They’ve got our baby Ben” she cried

“We’ll get him back. They’re stupid to think they will get away with this. We will get him back. I swear on my life.
