“Is he okay?” Nicks asks, his forehead creased in worry, right when I walk out of the room.
“Yeah he is now.” I say trying to contain myself so I don’t cry in front of him.
I feel like I’m carrying dead weight as I forcibly walk myself back to my room. That ounce of hope that sprang into me when he said he wanted to call off the engagement broke as soon as he said that he won’t.
I don’t even know why I was thinking that he would or that if he did, it was because of me. I’m so stupid for thinking that he might feel the same towards me as I do to him.
“What happened?” Nick asks, following close behind me.
“He told me about what happened to his sister.” I say with a tight mouth. I just want to be alone right now and I can’t even say it without it being suspicious.
“He blames himself for her death.” Nick whispers and I halt turning towards him.

Forbidden Red Chapter 50
Instead of dropping me to Adair’s house, Nick takes me to his home instead. He said he didn’t want me to be alone despite their being a ton of guards, plus he wanted me to meet Mariam since he had told her how he finally has a sister and she’s been dying to meet me ever since.The drive to Nick’s house isn’t too long. Nick spends the entire drive talking to me about how he met his wife, how excited he is for the baby, and how he thinks Adair is totally insane for giving Anna the time of day even though he hopes that she’s okay.As we get closer, a small amount of smoke hangs in the cold air. Before I could ask what is going on, a beautiful cottage style home that sits peacefully among tall trees comes into my sight of vision. Above the chimney, I spot the smoke I noticed earlier.“Here we are!” Nick exclaims as he parks the car.Getting out of the car I take in the fresh smell of rain and trees. &ldquo

“He has her!” I growl at a grave faced Julian.The air is filled with chaos as police sirens blast and K9 dogs bark loudly. To top it off, the rain continues to pour down and the wind howls viciously, shaking the trees back and forth as if they could snap any minute and land on the road. A storm is definitely brewing and this could be the worst possible time.Forensics, police officers, detectives, and reporters buzz around me as they try to investigate what happened to my soon to be ex-wife Anna Adair.“I think your right Alex. It has to be him otherwise the note that’s left behind makes no sense.” Julian states trying to shield his face from the rain.The rain pours down on me but I don’t make an effort to hide away from it. In all of this mess, I need to find Anna. If that bastard has her then she’s not safe, but if he even lays a finger on her I’ll give him a slow agonizing death that he wishes he

Adair’s Point of ViewIt’s the middle of the night and he still hasn’t called. The wind screeches outside like a wolf at a full moon, with the storm being to stubborn to die out. The wait is starting to play with my patience and I’m ready to break a wall.“Get some rest Alex, it’s been a long day for you.” Julian says eyeing my dishevelled state.My clothes are rumbled thanks to the rain and I’m pretty sure my eyes have bags under them right now. Since we got back from Italy I haven’t taken a single moment of rest and it’s starting to take a toll on me. There is no denying that I am tired, but the adrenaline in me is what’s keeping me still going.“I don’t need rest, I need him to find him.” I grumble.Julian puts his hands up in surrender knowing that I’ll do what I want and goes back to typing on his computer.“What are you even

Nick was smart to have called over Mariam’s mother when we were coming back from the police station. He didn’t want to leave Mariam alone after what happened to Anna and I don’t blame him.While their all asleep, I’m pacing back and forth in my room in anxiousness, stressing about Anna’s disappearance and what Adair is going through right now. I know it’s not my fault, but now I wish that I had dropped the case when I had the chance.Sometimes I wish it didn’t happen that I didn’t take the case and just stuck to my everyday cases that came in. I wish I wasn’t dying for adrenaline or even a change in my daily routine. But as much as I think about not having taken it, I can’t deny the fact that meeting Adair was the best thing that has ever happened to me. But with Anna gone missing, I really wish I hadn’t let my feelings take over the reality of the case.All the thoughts swirling in head prevent m

“Dad.” I breathe.“What the hell.” Nick says, astonishment written all over his face as he hovers closer to the screen.This whole time he’s been living in the same building as me for who knows how long and not once did I ever come into contact with him. He’s the one who went into my penthouse and destroyed it, his repulsive hands touched all of our things. He’s the one whose been following me around this entire time and taking pictures.I thought when we left him, we left him for good, but here he is today wrecking havoc into my life again. Because of him my mom is in a wheelchair, and he was able to escape the punishment while we suffered the consequences.But not this time.I’m going to find him and make sure he pays for everything he’s done.“Ms. Carter…” Adair whispers as he comes to my side. His slight touch on my arm snaps me out of my thoughts and there’s
Forbidden Red Chapter 55
We spend the next couple hours planning our moves. It’s to risky to tell the police to go and arrest Marc since he has hostages and could hurt them. Instead, we all agree to Julian getting in touch with under cover police officers and keeping them around Marc’s location so he doesn’t escape. This way we’ll know where he is at all times while my mom and Anna stay safe and we can figure out how were going to get to him.While Julian talks to the Toronto police, Adair gets in touch with his media representatives and gives them the details about me dropping the case. The news needs to play exactly at 5pm, otherwise he’s going to hurt either Anna or my mother.While Nick speaks to Mariam, updating her about Anna’s disappearance, I use this time to talk to Aunt Meg and Cole.“We’ll bring her home safe.” I assure them both.“I’m sorry Sarah. You trusted me to keep your mom safe and I couldn’
Forbidden Red Chapter 56
The sun now hangs in the blue sky and the once quiet street is now buzzing with cars and people.I went back with Nick since my clothes were at his house, while Adair went to his office despite us pestering him to get some rest and freshen up. While Nick is helping Mariam make breakfast, I use this time to tell Aaliyah everything that’s going on and to talk to Andrew to keep her safe at all times.“What the hell.” She whispers in astonishment as I finish telling her everything that happened from when we were in Italy to now.What the hell has started to become everyone’s go to statement when they hear about this twisted case.“Right.” I say a pained chuckle escaping me.Saying the whole thing out loud makes it even worse for me. As much as I want to be strong, my heart rips apart every time I think about my mom being in his presence again.“She’ll be okay. I know she will be.” Aaliy
Forbidden Red Chapter 57
Marc sends Adair the details for the transfer right away. Adair talks to his personal assistant who’s in charge of finances to have the transfer scheduled for 5pm. Although we aren’t letting him get away with the money, it’s a back up plan just in case. I don’t like just in cases, but we can’t risk anyone’s safety and especially knowing him he’ll do anything to get his way.Julian goes back to the police station to get his team ready for the raid and said he’ll get in contact with the Toronto police to let them know that were leaving for Toronto in a bit.For some reason my mind keeps drifting back to the apartment. I don't know why since we've already checked around and found nothing, but my gut is telling me that there's something that we might have missed to check, and this time I don’t ignore it.I’ve always been a go with my brain type of woman, but this feeling is jabbing inside of me like a knife
