She Will Be Mine

**Nicole**

It was early in the morning and I was on my computer trying to find the location of where Vi might be. I don't know how he did it, but Mike was able to get a number from his source for who we were following. I was tracking the number when I saw it was right down the street.

"Alex!" I called out loudly.

"What?!" He yelled, running into the room from the bathroom. "Are you okay?" He panted.

"Look!" I exclaimed, pointing to the computer. I couldn't believe we actually had a location.

"What's that?" He asked as he walked over and looked at the screen, clearly confused.

"That phone I'm tracking. It's right down the street!"

"Wait..." He reached for his phone. "...so is Mike." He began typing on his phone.

I sat there looking at the dot on the screen while Alex typed quickly on his phone. I watched as the dot stayed stationary for a few minutes before moving quickly down the road.

"We need to get Mike!" I exclaimed as I stood from the bed. "They are on the move." I started to gather what I could in a hurry.

"I can't get a hold of him." Alex mumbled, putting his phone in his pocket to assist me.

Just as we were about to head to the door, the door flew open and Mike walked in holding the back of his head.

"Mike!" I rushed over to him. "What happened? Are you okay?" I looked him over for any injuries.

"I'm fine." He grimaced, holding the back of his head.

"We need to go. They are on the move."

"No." He said as he walked into the bathroom, getting a towel and wetting it before placing it on the back of his head and wincing. I looked at him confused. What did he mean? We were so close to getting Vi back and he was just giving up?" "What do you mean 'no'?" I placed my hands on my hips, getting angry. "They have Vi and we are so close to getting her back!" I shouted.

"It's not her." He said lowly.

It's not her? If it is not her, then who have we been chasing for the past month? I didn't want to believe it, it had to be her. This was all we had to go on. We saw her get in the car with him that day. It had to be her, it just had to be. "What do you mean?" Alex asked, confused.

"It's not her!" Mike shouted, getting angry while throwing the towel across the room.

"How did you find out?"

"I bumped into her when I was walking out of the coffee shop. I couldn't believe my eyes. There she was, Vi, standing in front of me after months." He said, his voice cracking. "I started talking to her and she had no idea who I was." He blew out a shaky breath. "I didn't see it until she smiled."

"See what?"

"There was a birth mark above her lip."

"Vi doesn't have one."

"Exactly." He ran his hands down his face. "Then I heard tires screeching and someone hit me with something. As I was trying to get up, the girl leaned down and told me we would never find her."

I was livid. We have been going after these three for a month and haven't noticed anything different about them. They were like duplicates or something. I was so sure it was her and even Mike's source said we were right in our thinking. Wait. The source.

"Mike?" I asked, turning to face him. "Your source? Who was it?"

"Maryse." He simply said.

"How did you meet her?" I asked, trying to think if I knew a 'Maryse'.

"Oh, she was at the training facility when we went to get Vi. After we went back and he was arrested, she came up to me and told me what kind of guy he really was. She didn't seem that fond of him." Mike explained.

"Hmmm..." I trailed off, trying to think. "I need to verify this..." I took out my phone.

"What are you-" Alex tried to ask, but I put my hand up to stop him. After scrolling down my contacts, I was grateful I saved their number. Pressing on the name, I put the phone to my ear. "Hello?" They answered, sounding confused.

"I need to ask you something..." I said as I walked to the sliding doors to the balcony to talk in private.

**Violet**

I was sitting in the living room when I heard loud whispers coming from the kitchen. Rolling my eyes, I knew Ted and Cody were fighting again and it would probably fall back on me. As I was sitting there staring at the TV, not paying attention to what was on it, I rubbed my stomach softly. I couldn't wait to be back with Mike and celebrate this moment with him. We were going to have a baby and I should be happy, but I am here in this hell when I should be enjoying my pregnancy. "We will be home with daddy soon." I rubbed my still flat stomach.

As I was rubbing my stomach, I realized I hadn't been sick in a few days. It was only that one time that Ted made the doctor come. I was trying to think of the last time I was ill, when I heard the words 'my child' come from the kitchen. Being the stubborn woman I am, I got up and silently made my way to the wall so I could listen. That's when I heard it. Ted said he would have to do a better job at getting me pregnant for real. But I am pregnant. Aren't I? Mustering up courage, I walked into the doorway.

"Are you kidding me?!" I huffed. I was shocked, angry, and appalled. How could I be so naive? I should have known better than to trust him. I wanted to punch him in the face so badly, but there would be nowhere for me to run since Cody was right there.

"Violet...I...I can explain..." Ted started as he moved across the kitchen toward me.

"Explain what? That you LIED to me and told me I was having YOUR child, so, what, that I would fall in love with you and want to have a family with you?" I yelled, as my chest was heaving. He had another thing coming if he thought that was going to make me want to be with him and have a family with him. Nope. Mike is the only one for me.

"You better keep your voice down." He gritted through clenched teeth as he walked toward me.

"If I don't?" I spat back. I was done. He told me all this so I would listen and fall in love with him. I don't think so.

"I think you know." He had that evil grin on his face as he grabbed my forearm tightly and pulled me to his chest. "Maybe I should remind you what happens when you act up like this." He lowered his head and whispered in my ear, causing me to shiver in fear. I was trying not to let him get to me, but much to my dismay, Cody had moved closer to us. Just as I was about to say something, Ted's phone rang.

**Ted**

She was in for it. She knows better than to act that way and if she forgets, I'll show her who the boss really is. I knew she would put up a fight since she now knew she wasn't pregnant and that was fine with me. I liked it when she fought back. I heard her take a sharp breath and saw her lips part to say something when my phone rang.

"Watch her." I pushed her toward Cody as I took my phone out of my pocket. Looking at the caller ID, I rolled my eyes.

"What Brett?" I barked, annoyed at the interruption.

"When are you coming back?" He asked.

"I don't know." I looked over toward Cody to see his hand over Violet's mouth as she struggled in his hold.

"Well, dad has this event coming up in a few days and he wants you to be there. Since you are going to get the company soon, he wants you to meet everyone."

"Not interested." I mumbled, done with this conversation.

"Mom wants to see you too." He added quickly.

Hearing that my mom wanted to see me had me think. My mom was the only other woman I loved other than Violet. I had a soft spot for my mom and would always be there if and when she needed me. "Fine." I blew out a breath. "When?"

"In two days."

"We'll be there." I said and hung up before he could question me. I placed my phone back in my pocket and stalked over to Violet. She was looking at me with wide eyes and hearing that 'we' would be going. I had a few business deals that needed my attention back in the states, so now was a good time to take care of them.

"You're going to behave, correct?" I told her, running my index finger down her cheek. She nodded slowly as tears formed in her eyes. I motioned for Cody to let her go and that was when she lost.

"Behave?!" She yelled and slapped me across the face. "Like hell I will!" She pushed me back and ran from the room before Cody or I could grab her. Cody was about to go after her when I stopped him. "She has nowhere to go. Let her be."
