The way he always spoke for Kye made it seem like she accepted him or something. Somehow she’d forgotten what he had don
AVAIt was official that I now hated hospitals. And all it took to get me to hate it were three trips. And this was Kye’s second one.They’d taken him in an hour ago and there was still no word from anyone about him.His gunshot wound hadn’t even healed yet and he was under the knife again. And all
KYEOf course I chose her. I wasn’t stupid enough to let Dylan touch her because I couldn’t make a decision. But I also didn’t shoot her father. I shot at my uncle instead. And this time I didn’t have to think much about it. All except the risk that the bullet could hit Ava, or that Dylan could mov
“Just tell me what it’ll take for me to do for you to let her go.” I changed the subject fast, hoping it would distract him from that vile thought. He tipped his head up and gave me a look that read he didn’t expect that from me.I took that moment of silence and lowered my eyes to Ava. Her mouth w

LIAMThe hallway outside Kye’s room smelled faintly of disinfectant and nerves. I had been pacing for so long that the soles of my sneakers now squealed against the floor. My phone buzzed in my pocket and when I pulled it out, I saw Asher’s name lighting up the screen. ‘I and the guys are coming ov
He turned on his heel and left, leaving me alone in the silence. The door clicked shut behind him, trapping me with my fears and regrets. I couldn’t let this end here, tied to a chair while my son lay dying, while that woman gloated over her twisted victory. I wrestled against the binds, but they on
Turning to my men, I snapped out orders, my voice sharp and unforgiving. “Track the vehicle’s plates. I don’t care how. Get it done.”I barely registered their nods before they sprang into action, and I stood there, fists clenched at my sides as the seconds ticked by, each one winding the coil of te
