“We settled things. He’ll go from the hospital to jail. But he might get out if he can make bail. There weren’t many charges we could press, nothing violent.”

“When do you think he’ll get out? Could he try something else? What if he has more videos?” Chloe asked, still worried.

“I don’t think he’d ever release the video. It doesn’t make him look good either. He was careful not to email it to you. I don’t think he wanted copies out there. And I’m pretty sure he won’t leave the hospital soon.”

Chloe sighed and put her arms around Gabe’s neck, resting her head on his chest. “I can’t believe you put him in the hospital. What if he presses charges?”

“He won’t. I have witnesses who’ll say it was self-defense, one of them is a senator. He’s already been warned he can’t win. That made him mad. That bastard always wants to win.”

Chloe knew Gabe was right. James liked to win. Nothing upset him more than losing.

“Let me clean your cuts,” she said, pulling away. “You really should see a doctor.”

    ZANEThere was a portable toilet next to her, but she had clearly become too weak to use it. Heavy metal shackles held every one of her limbs, giving her almost no ability to move. An empty water jug sat in the corner, and a plastic bag lay there with nothing inside.Zane didn’t get an answer from her, but his heart raced when he found a weak pulse.He ran to the kitchen, grabbed a glass, and filled it with water, thankful the cabin at least had running water.He ignored how badly she smelled as he lifted her in his arms and helped her sit up. “Ellie? Open your eyes for me. You need water. You’re dehydrated.”She wasn’t just dehydrated. She was starving. But he had to fix one problem at a time. Ellie used to be a curvy woman. Now she had no flesh left on her bones.He held the cup to her lips and tilted it slowly. Her eyes fluttered but didn’t open, and he prayed she could still swallow. The last thing he wanted was for her to choke.“Swallow for me, Ellie. Come on.” He watched carefu

  • Broke Up With My Fiance Then Fucked My Brother's Best Friend   Chapter 170: Following The Clues

    ZANE How many days had he been searching? One day had blended into the next, and Zane had been so focused on his mission that he hadn’t done anything else except drink water so he wouldn’t pass out. He was glad he had bought the new SUV a month or two ago. It was snowing heavily at this high altitude, and he was driving way too fast on the icy mountain roads. He knew he was being reckless, but he was getting desperate. He knew the general area where Ellie was because of the soil samples he had taken from an old pair of James’s shoes, and from the tire tracks of a late-model truck in James’s garage. Then, after finding a tiny piece of a rare, wilted flower in James’s house, he had followed a gut feeling and tested the dirt samples. After studying everything carefully, he had found the few areas where that flower could grow and where that soil existed. The dirt he collected confirmed what he suspected. He didn’t think James used the old truck for anything except going into the

    ELLIE “I’m going to work from home tonight.” It was a weak excuse, but it was all Ellie could think of. Chloe always said Ellie was a terrible liar, and Ellie doubted James would believe her anyway, especially since she had been running from him when all he’d asked for was one printed document. “You saw the videos,” he said in a low, threatening voice. “You were going straight to Chloe. Nosy bitch. I asked you to do one thing on the computer, and you just had to open things meant for no one else to see. Not now. You’ll ruin everything. Good thing I came back when I realized you might not mind your own business.” *Then don’t leave stuff you want hidden on a computer anyone else can touch, dumbass.* Ellie watched enough crime shows to know James was either careless or completely crazy, and based on the pressure tightening around her neck, she was sure it was the latter. “Why are you hurting Chloe?” Ellie stopped pretending and demanded the truth. “She’d never do anything li

    ZANE AND ELLIE'S STORY ELLIE Eight months ago… “Oh God… this can’t be real. Not my sweet Chloe,” Ellie Winters whispered urgently to herself. She was alone in the doctor’s office where she worked, so nobody heard the fear in her rough voice. She was shaking from the shocking videos she had just seen on James’s laptop, completely by accident while searching for a file her boss had asked her to print. She had only been trying to find a medical document her boss needed but when she noticed a folder called Chloe’s Videos, she couldn’t stop herself from clicking it. She thought she’d find cute, happy clips of her best friend. She knew she shouldn’t look, but she had hoped to see a smiling Chloe; something she hadn’t seen in a long time. Chloe had been jumpy, distracted, and nervous lately, and Ellie wished she knew why. Chloe Roberts was naturally kind and gentle but the videos weren’t happy at all. They were terrifying. Ellie had been working for Chloe’s doctor fiancé for only abou

    “I think I do,” he said seriously, nodding slowly. He leaned down, and Chloe’s heart raced as he gave her one of the sweetest kisses she’d ever experienced, one that showed her just how much she was adored. She sighed as he slowly pulled back, as if he didn’t want to stop. “I love you, Chloe Walker, and I’ll make damn sure nobody ever hurts you again,” he said, his voice full of feeling and tenderness. Hearing her name on his lips made her heart melt. “I love you, too, and I promise I’ll try to make you happy, Gabe,” she replied. “Sweetheart, I already told you, you don’t have to try. You just being you makes me happy. Now that you’re mine, I’m fucking ecstatic,” he rumbled. Tears filled Chloe’s eyes, knowing he meant every word. Gabe wasn’t always smooth, but he was honest. How could she explain how much his words mattered to her after everything she’d gone through? She’d tried, but he had just shrugged, thinking it was no big deal. To her, it was everything. “Thank

    “A gift. Open it.” Chloe hoped he would understand and not be upset. She was taking a chance, trusting her gut feeling. He slowly removed the wrapping paper. “You didn’t need to get me anything.” “I wanted to give you this.” Chloe knew Gabe had more money than almost anyone in the world, and together, they were extremely rich…but this was different. She held her breath as he opened the box, his face showing surprise as he pulled out a brand-new black Stetson. Chloe’s heart raced, worried the gift might bring back bad memories or remind him of how he could never fill his father’s shoes. “I can take it back if it doesn’t fit,” she said quickly, meaning more than just the size. She knew it was his size. She just wasn’t sure if it would feel right to him. It was different from his father’s hat. The brim was a little smaller, and the band was simple black with small metal studs—not as fancy as his father’s. But when Chloe saw it, she thought of Gabe and felt this hat would suit him
