He saw a gap in the fighting, a momentary pause as Tommy's men regrouped after a heavy push. He sprinted across an open area, yelling at the top of his lungs. "Tommy! Tommy, stop! It's Ronald! I need to talk to you!"A few of Tommy's men turned, their weapons raised, but they hesitated, confused by the lone figure running towards them, unarmed except for the sidearm he hadn't even drawn.Suddenly, a voice boomed over a loudspeaker, amplified and distorted. "Ronald! What in the blazes are you doing?" It was Tommy.Ronald stopped, panting, his hands raised in a gesture of surrender, though his heart was still racing. "Tommy! It's me! I have to tell you something! Something important!""Important?" Tommy's voice was laced with scorn. "You think you can just walk out here and talk your way out of this, little brother? After everything you've done?""You don't understand!" Ronald yelled back, his voice hoarse. "We're brothers, Tommy! More than you know! We're triplets! You, me, and Bobby!
Chapter 562
The calm didn't last. Not even a full day after Trisha told Max their secret, the storm broke. It started subtly, a distant rumble that grew steadily louder, shaking the very foundations of the fortified safe house. Then came the explosions, sharp, deafening blasts that rattled their teeth and sent dust raining down from the ceiling."He's here," Max said, his voice grim, but his eyes were sharp, focused. He was already dressed, his weapon strapped to his side. He turned to Trisha, grabbing her shoulders. "Stay inside. Stay safe. Don't leave this room unless I tell you to. Understand?""Be careful, Max," she pleaded, her voice trembling. "Please."He kissed her quickly, fiercely. "Always. For you. For our baby." And then he was gone, a blur of motion, rushing to join the others.Trisha could hear the shouts now, the frantic commands, the metallic clang of weapons being readied. The Lucky family was preparing for the ultimate defense. They knew this was it. Tommy wasn't holding back.S

The compound was quiet, the kind of quiet that felt heavy, like the air before a storm. Trisha lay awake next to Max, listening to the steady rhythm of his breathing. The small plastic stick was still hidden, but its presence felt like a burning secret under her pillow. She knew she couldn't keep it from him much longer. Not after last night, after his words about a future, about family. This was their future.She gently nudged him. "Max?" she whispered, her voice barely audible.He stirred, a soft groan escaping his lips. "Hmm? What is it, Trisha? Everything okay?" He opened his eyes, blinking against the faint pre-dawn light filtering through the blinds. He reached for her hand, his fingers intertwining with hers. "You're awake early.""I couldn't sleep," she admitted, her heart thumping a nervous rhythm against her ribs. She sat up, pulling her knees to her chest, trying to find the right words. "There's something I need to tell you."Max sat up too, propping himself on an elbow, h

*What if it's positive?* The thought sent a jolt of both terror and exhilaration through her, a hot and cold rush. *How could I tell Max? How would he react? We're in the middle of a war! This is insane timing!**What if it's negative?* A strange pang of disappointment, unexpected and sharp, pricked at her. Part of her, a tiny, hopeful part she hadn't even realized was there, had already started to imagine a little one, a blend of her and Max, a new face in their family.The first line appeared, a clear, pink stripe. That meant the test was working. Her breath hitched. Now for the second line. The one that would change everything. The one that would confirm or deny the impossible.She leaned closer, her eyes straining in the dim light, willing it to appear. Slowly, faintly at first, then growing clearer, bolder, another pink line began to form. It was there. Undeniable. Two lines.Positive.Trisha stared at it, her mind a whirlwind of emotions. Joy, pure and unadulterated, bubbled up,

"Irregular, or just late?" Luna pressed, her small smile widening slightly. "Look, I'm not saying anything for sure. It could be nothing. But if I were you, I'd get a test. Just to rule it out. Or… to confirm it."The idea, once planted, took root and began to blossom, filling Trisha with a confusing mix of fear and a strange, undeniable hope. A baby. Max's baby. Their baby. In the middle of all this chaos, this danger, this uncertainty. It was terrifying, exhilarating, and utterly overwhelming. Her mind reeled with the implications."A test," Trisha repeated, her voice barely a whisper, the words feeling foreign on her tongue. "Where would I even get one? I can't just walk into a pharmacy.""Don't worry about that," Luna said, standing up. "I know a place. Discreet. I'll take care of it. I'll leave something for you tonight. Just… try not to worry too much until you know for sure, okay? No point in stressing over what might not be."Trisha nodded, her mind already racing, a thousand

The smell of stale coffee and something vaguely metallic clung to Trisha’s throat, making her stomach churn. She clamped a hand over her mouth, pushing away from the breakfast table with a sudden urgency. Max looked up, concern etched on his face."Trisha? Are you alright?" he asked, half-rising from his chair, his fork clattering against his plate.She shook her head, not trusting her voice, and hurried towards the nearest bathroom. The porcelain bowl offered little comfort as her body convulsed, emptying the meager contents of her stomach. When it was over, she leaned against the cool tiles, breathing heavily, a dull ache throbbing in her temples."Trisha, what's going on?" Max’s voice was muffled through the door, laced with worry. "Are you still feeling the after-effects from… you know? The possession?"She pushed herself up, splashing cold water on her face. The cold shock helped clear her head a little. "No, it's not that," she called back, trying to sound normal, trying to inje
