Chapter 17 Rowan PriestPOVGrace and I walk into the restaurant together, I wrap her in my arms the cameras flashing, and the growing crowd is rowdy, and Grace is cowering into me. I’ve realized she’s not a big fan of large crowds. Spending the month with her, I’ve come to realize whenever we’re near them or she spent the day out she gets nightmares.Though for the first time in years I find myself laughing and genuinely smiling. A lot of the shit that comes out of her mouth is comedic and she’s got no filter.I brought her out to lunch today to celebrate and as payback to burying Hannah’s story I had to give the person she bought off a story worth more. And what do they want? Grace and I on a fucking date.What are we celebrating? We got her acceptance letter for NYU. She was so excited, and I couldn’t tell her my money got her in. Jesus I’ve gone soft. I know it’s only because Grace is genuinely a good person, and she didn’t deserve half the shit she’s been through. If it were any

Chapter 18Hannah SmithPOVGetting a tip off Graham set me the fuck off. Hours after he left my apartment, he was with her, happily. Sitting talking with her. I’d have to force him to talk to me. Last night was different I will admit that. He didn’t want to fuck me. I had to force him to. I went to the restaurant, thinking I’ll see cracks in their façade. A way to break them up. I didn’t expect to see him with hearts in his eyes. The last thing I expected was in this life was seeing a man incapable as so much as a smile to fucking laugh.Imagine my surprise when I see Rowan laughing, tears in his eyes at something she’s said. He ordered for her, I watched as he kissed her head and held her protectively as they walked in.Watching him not scowl at her. He doesn’t even look at her with the cold look he permanently has on his face. Even when he smiles his eyes are dead cold. But somehow, she gets him to smile even when he isn’t smiling with his mouth, if that makes sense.She looks like

We call it a safe house but it’s anything but a safe house, we’re currently in the basement watching the man sweat.His wrists tied to the back of the chair and his ankles ties to the steel chairs legs. And what I assume is a white cloth tied around his to prevent him from speaking. My eyes go to Andre sitting to my right.Andre doesn’t say anything as he gets up… He removes the cloth and throws it to the side.“I-I don’t know anything…” is the first words out of the server’s mouth.I turn my head to look at him. “I didn’t ask you to speak. Why are you opening your mouth?” I ask.His eyes wide.Andre’s phone goes off. He looks at the screen before his eyes goes into slits.He walks over to me and hands me his phone. I watch him throw something in the burger before handing the waiter our food.I give Andre his phone back as I watch this asshole.Damian watches the

Chapter 20Rowan PriestPOVRING RING RINGThe sound of my phone ringing wakes me from my slumber. My head pounding. I feel like a truck had run over my head at least ten thousand times.Fuck!Laying on my stomach I reach for my phone on the bedside table. I answer the call without looking who it is.“What?” I bark. Who had the nerve to call me this early in the morning?“You better watch your tone when you speak to me Rowan.” My mother warns.I sit up “Mom?” I ask confused.Where am I? I don’t recognize anything around me. It takes me at least a couple of seconds to recognize my surroundings. I scratch the top of my head. My hair in knots.I look around and notice I’m at Hannah’s place. What the hell happened last night? The last thing I remember was driving to Rayna’s place. What happened between Rayna’s place and being in Hannah’s place? In her fucking bed naked… It doesn’t take a scientist to know what happened last night.I run my fingers through my hair.“Where are you Rowan?

So, I kept my eyes closed. What are they doing in my room? Why would Rowan let them in my room while I was sleeping? That’s a little weird right? “Where is Rowan?” Sandra asks. “I don’t know, I spoke to Lucian.” Austin "What did Lucian say?" Sandra asks. “It wasn’t an accident. Someone tried to kill her. Rowan spent the night investigating. They found a lead, but I haven’t been able to contact Rowan or Damian since last night. I had men check in on Damian he’s fine. I can’t find Rowan or his driver.” Austin says. “And Andre have you called him?” Sandra asks. Austin sighs. “Andre was busy, he didn’t go with Rowan. He hasn’t been able to find Rowan either.” Austin says. "Ha-has some-something happened to Rowan?” I ask trying to sit up. My throat hurts. It feels as though I swallowed kni

I feared the worst. That someone was going to come and take me away from Rowan, I’ve been waiting for the other shoe to drop yet nothing happened…When I look at Rowan I realize how angry he looks.“Did something happen?" I ask.He looks up at me, his face now devoid of any emotions, he shakes his head. "These idiots were watching a movie by the door it woke me up, I gave them a talking to."I nod in understanding. “Don’t be too hard on them, they must be bored guarding the door.” I felt bad for them, standing by the door the entire time. It must be exhausting and boring.I can’t imagine standing by the door for hours on end doing absolutely nothing. I get bored sitting around in my room all day.“It’s their job Grace, they get paid to guard the door.” He says walking over to the sofa.I sig

Rowan loves to act tough, but he’s got the sweetest, most kind heart I know. "Anyway, thank you Rowan…"He looks at me, his lips twitch. "Stop doing that thing with your face…" he tells me.I frown. “What thing?” I was confused."That thing with your mouth, when you do that, you want to say something, and I can’t handle whatever your no filter has to say now." He folds his arms.I look at him surprised. “I’m not going to say anything…" I promise him.“You fucking told me you want to put your finger up my ass during our lunch yesterday, tell me that isn’t fucked up.
