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
Forbidden Red Chapter 58
Adair’s Point of ViewFor the last twenty minutes I’ve been trying to call Ms. Carter and she hasn’t been picking up. I contacted Aaliyah, Andrew, and Yasmin just in case she went back to the office but no ones heard from her.Not until Nick told me where she went.“WHAT THE FUCK? AND YOU LET HER GO ALONE!” I roar fuming in anger.Nick stands in silence with his head bent low and I continue to yell at him at how stupid he could be for letting her go alone. All this time I haven’t ever let her go anywhere by herself because of the danger and right now when stakes are high, Nick of all people, let’s her go alone.“I’m sorry, but she said she would be right back.” Nick mumbles. “And you told me to talk to the bank person.”I take deep breathes trying to get myself together. I want to punch Nick square in the face right now, but if I did Mariam would eat me
Forbidden Red Chapter 59
My eyes slowly open as I try to adjust to the dim light that hangs above me. A sharp pain shoots at the back of my head causing me to wince. My head throbs in pain and I feel like I’ve been hit in the back of a head with a metal baseball bat. My eyes travel down to my hands and I realize that both my hands and feet are tied tightly to the chair with chains.I try to break free, but it only makes it worse as the chains dig even deeper into my skin causing me to yelp in pain.I look around for help but the place is completely empty. It’s freezing cold and smells like a wet dog. A tiny window near the top of wall lets in a small stream of light and through there I can tell that it’s already night time. Where am I? I scream for help, anyone who can help me at least get these chains off me, but I go mute once I realize what happened. Everything comes back to me. It was Anna who hit me in the back of the head right when I was
Forbidden Red Chapter 60
Adair’s Point of ViewEver since I left New York I’ve been counting down the time to reach Anna’s place. Time is slipping away and I don’t know even know if Ms. Carter will be there. My heart is telling me that she is, but my brain is telling me otherwise, and it’s driving me fucking insane.I can’t believe that this entire time Anna was playing with me. I could smell a snake a mile away, but this time a snake was right under my nose and I didn’t even know it.“She played me so well.” I growl taking a sharp turn at the lights, the empty street taunting my stupidness.I’m only five minutes away from her place and the anxiety that grows inside me is one that I’ve never experienced before. My body feels restless and my chest heaves up and down as breathing becomes difficult to do.When my sister went missing I felt like the world was torn away from me and now, kno
Forbidden Red Chapter 61
“ANNA DON’T!” Elizabeth yells, but Anna ignores her cries and walks over to the darkness and emerges back out with a gun in her hand.My heartbeat quickens and sweat forms on my forehead. I watch the sleek black gun glisten in her hand and with every step she takes I see my death getting closer and closer.I suck in my breath telling myself that I won’t cry. I can’t let my mom see me in fear despite fear running in every part of me right now. I have to be strong, for the both of us.“I love you mom.” I whisper one last time.“Sarah please-” She sobs as Anna holds the phone across from me so my mom can see my death.All of a sudden a loud boom startles Marc forcing him to drop the phone on the ground and my eyes search frantically across the screen looking for my mom.“YOUR UNDER ARREST!” Yells a familiar voice and I know who it belongs to.Julian.
Forbidden Red Chapter 62
Adair’s Point of ViewThe next couple of hours for Sarah are critical. Thankfully the bullet missed her heart but only by a couple inches. I was able to get her to the hospital on time, and if I didn’t, according to the doctor, she could have died.I sit, broken and tired in the waiting room patiently waiting for the doctor to come out of the operating theatre. My shirt is covered in her blood and despite getting a lot of stares from people they don’t utter a word.I called everyone she knew so they can be here when she wakes up. Nick and Julian are bringing Elizabeth over right now. I sent my private jet to Andrew, Aaliyah, Cole, and Meghan so they can get here faster. When I told them about Sarah they were speechless. At first Aaliyah was mad at me, telling me that I let Anna hurt Sarah but she apologized when her anger died down. However, her words hold truth to them. If only I could have pulled the trigger earlier then Sara
Forbidden Red Chapter 63
8 months laterTall dark trees surround me, their leaves rustling against the light breeze. I continue to run trying to find an exit, but I can’t see a way out of this suffocating dark. Rain starts to tap my head and I look up at the sky. The pitch black sky embraces the dark stormy clouds and my heart slams into my chest.I need to find a way out before the storm starts.Running, the wet gritty soil covers my naked feet as pebbles and tiny branches poke into the bottom of my feet. I ignore the pain desperately trying to find my way out calling for help.The rain slams down and thunder booms across the sky, drowning my calls for help. I run as fast as I can tears now streaming down my face. Howls echo with the thunder and I look around wide eyed hoping that there aren’t wolves.“Please can anyone help me!” I shout, the hem of my white night gown getting caught in the branch.I trip over the large branch
Forbidden Red Chapter 64
My mom and the other woman carefully walk towards me. My eyes brim with tears as I take in my mothers’ appearance. She looks like she lost weight, her daisy yellow blouse hanging loosely around her collar bones. Taking a hold of my hand, she kisses my palms and holds them close to her heart.“Mom.” I whisper causing her to look up in shock.“You…you remember me?” She asks wide eyed.“How can I forget you mom.” I say through sobs.I carefully get out of bed trying my best not to tug on the IV poll and I embrace her in a hug. We cry into each other until there are no more tears left. She makes me sit back on the bed and I do so without any complaints. I feel drained, but it’s nothing compared to this feeling of wanting to be with my mom.“Do you remember me?” Aaliyah whispers, her hands clutched to her chest.I try my best to remember her, and I see faint memories, but I
