Chapter 45 - blood on the floor
The sterile white hallways of the maternity ward erupted into a deafening storm of gunfire. Massimo, moving with a terrifying agility that defied his age, laid down a barrage of suppressive fire.
His loyal guards formed a human shield across the hallway, dropping two of Silas's mercenaries instantly, buying crucial time.
Inside the delivery room, the air was thick with agonizing tension. Ivy was gripping the bed rails, gasping for breath as devastating contractions ripped through her body. Lucas remained entirely focused.
"Look at me, Ivy," Lucas commanded gently, his voice a steady anchor in the chaotic storm. "You are the strongest woman I have ever known. Our baby is coming tonight, and nothing is going to stop that."
Tessa stood guard by the door with a loaded shotgun, her face set in absolute stone. She had fought beside Massimo in a bathroom decades ago, and she was more than ready to kill to protect her grandchild.
