FAT, BARREN, AND REJECTED CHAPTER 156
JASON’S POVI found myself, throughout those difficult weeks, unable to fully articulate even to myself exactly why I couldn’t simply accept Ella’s genuine, loving concern about processing whatever trauma continued haunting my increasingly disrupted sleep.I understood, intellectually, everything she’d said about partnership, about shared burden, about the genuine wisdom of professional support for processing something this complicated and devastating. Yet something deeper, more stubborn and difficult to fully examine, continued resisting that genuine wisdom, some old, ingrained instinct insisting that admitting this particular vulnerability represented weakness I couldn’t quite allow myself to fully embrace.I thought, more than I wanted to admit, about my grandmother’s own complicated legacy—her decades of carefully guarded secrets, her apparent belief that certain burdens needed to be carried privately, protected from those she loved rather than shared openly regardless of the genu
FAT, BARREN, AND REJECTED CHAPTER 155
ELLA’S POVThe weeks following Jason’s physical recovery carried a quality of unsettled unease I hadn’t quite anticipated, given the genuine relief we should have felt at Theodore’s safe recovery and our collective survival of that devastating, catastrophic confrontation.I found myself, throughout those difficult weeks, watching Jason gradually retreat into something considerably quieter and more emotionally distant than the confident, engaged partner I’d grown accustomed to relying upon throughout our entire exhausting journey together.“You’ve been distracted lately,” I observed one evening, watching him stare absently at documents he’d apparently been reviewing for the better part of an hour without actually making any visible progress through the material.“I’m fine,” he said, though his voice carried a hollow, unconvincing quality that immediately suggested otherwise.“Jason, I don’t think you actually are,” I said gently, setting aside my own work to focus entirely on this conc
FAT, BARREN, AND REJECTED CHAPTER 154
JASON’S POVI don’t remember much of the actual impact, the aircraft’s violent, uncontrolled descent registering primarily as chaotic, overwhelming sensation rather than any coherent sequence of events I could easily reconstruct afterward.I remember Theodore’s continued, terrified crying somehow cutting through the chaos, some instinctive parental focus allowing me to locate and secure him against my own body during those final, devastating seconds before the aircraft’s actual, violent contact with the runway. I remember the impact itself, jarring and absolute, followed by several long, disoriented moments where I struggled simply to understand whether I remained conscious, whether Theodore remained safely secured against me, whether we’d actually somehow survived what had felt, throughout that entire terrifying descent, like genuinely inevitable catastrophe.I don’t remember what happened to Cross during those final, chaotic moments. I remember our violent struggle continuing right
FAT, BARREN, AND REJECTED CHAPTER 153
ELLA’S POVI watched the aircraft’s increasingly erratic movement with mounting, absolute horror, Aldric’s team frantically coordinating with air traffic control while I stood helpless, my entire being consumed by desperate, overwhelming terror for both my husband and my precious, vulnerable son currently trapped aboard that dangerously unstable aircraft.“What’s happening?” I demanded, watching the aircraft’s alarming, uneven flight path with growing, devastating dread. “Aldric, please, tell me what’s actually happening up there.”“Air traffic control confirms the aircraft is experiencing significant instability,” Aldric reported, his own voice carrying barely controlled alarm despite his continued effort to maintain professional composure. “They’re attempting emergency communication with the pilot, though we haven’t yet received clear confirmation of the actual cause or severity of whatever crisis is currently unfolding.”I felt my knees nearly buckling beneath the overwhelming weig
FAT, BARREN, AND REJECTED CHAPTER 152
JASON’S POVThe aircraft’s interior carried a chaotic, tense energy the moment I’d hauled myself aboard, Cross’s remaining security personnel reacting with immediate, focused alarm at my sudden, unexpected presence despite the aircraft’s continued acceleration toward takeoff.I moved instinctively, my wolf surging forward with violent, protective urgency as I processed the scene before me—Cross himself positioned near the aircraft’s rear cabin, Theodore still clutched in his associate’s arms, several additional security personnel scrambling to respond to my sudden, unexpected boarding.“Give me my son,” I said, my voice carrying cold, absolute fury despite the aircraft’s continued dangerous acceleration and the obvious tactical disadvantage of confronting multiple armed opponents alone within such confined, dangerous quarters.Cross’s expression carried genuine, evident surprise at my presence, quickly hardening into calculating assessment as he processed this unexpected complication
FAT, BARREN, AND REJECTED CHAPTER 151
ELLA’S POVEverything happened with devastating, chaotic speed the moment our tactical team advanced fully into the hangar’s open space, Cross’s security personnel responding with immediate, coordinated defensive action that made our earlier tactical planning feel suddenly, dangerously inadequate against their evident professional preparation.“Cover positions!” Aldric’s urgent command carried through the sudden chaos as gunfire erupted between our advancing team and Cross’s defensive personnel, and I felt Jason’s arm pulling me instinctively behind whatever protective cover the hangar’s scattered equipment could actually provide.I watched, my heart hammering with devastated, desperate terror, as Cross continued his urgent movement toward the waiting aircraft despite the surrounding chaos, his security personnel apparently sacrificing their own tactical positions specifically to provide him sufficient cover for reaching the aircraft with Theodore still held tightly in his associate’s
