Chapter 17: Second Chance

“Annie, where are you?” Aaron enters the house in Twin-Rivers. They have been here two days. The moment they booked into the local bed and breakfast, the owner instantly recognized Annie. Her reaction still puzzles him. The news about her return spread like wildfire.

“Annie…” he calls again. They didn’t even unpack when the lawyer made his appearance. They were handed a key with strict instruction to sleep here their first night. Annie didn’t want to take the key, so he took it on her behalf. Since then, she was very withdrawn.

He was worried, the tension and arguments from his mother, the verbal accusations she randomly thrown at Annie, was uncalled for. It was clear his marriage to Annie, it seemed to have rattled especially his mother. This made him simply pull Annie from the mansion.

All his fears and uncertainty were revealed within the kisses they shared knowing now they are husband and wife.She slowly opened her eyes still feeling drowsy from his intimate exploring of her body. They took time to familiarized each other about the changes in their bodies.“Hey,” she said as a soft smile plays around her mouth. Her own body acknowledging that she missed being touch. “Did you know I once knew your face long before I knew you name. It was a girlish dream that become a reality.”“My Annie…I always knew there was something missing.”“I know the feeling.”They play around in bed keeping their arms wrapped around the other. This silliness was making them both feel comfortable with the other.“I want to stay there in bed, is this okay Annie?”“I want that too,” She quickly settles against him again. It was like her body can’t get enough of his touch. She lifts her head looking into hi

He was curious about two of the bedrooms in the back of the house. The doors were locked and he has noticed that his wife avoids that part of the house.“I am coming,” Annie made her appearance in the doorway. The moment he was aware of her he looks in her direction smiling. The vivid memories of yesterday still very clear in his head.He likes the sexual woman hiding within her. He has quickly learned not to judge the versions she was showing the world. There certainly were hidden depths she was careful in how she reveals this to the world.“What’s with the smile?” she reached him. She quickly stood on tip toe kissing his chin.“Oh, just thinking about last night,” he pulled her roughly against his body before he quickly and thoroughly ravished her. The moment he let her go she bites back a moan. It also feels like her brain wasn’t functioning.

In her happiness to have Aaron back and him asking to visit Twin-Rivers she made a mistake in not telling him this wasn’t a good place. Her worried eyes looked towards the houses on either side of her property. It was clear there lives no one. She wonders if they managed to escape this town.She slowly walks to the edge of her grounds. The weed and shrubs were thick making it difficult to opened the now hidden gate.“Wait for me Annie,” Aaron quickly approached her. He has noticed she has been keeping a close eye on her watch. It was clear she was tense and on edge about something. “What are you doing?” he quickly helped her wrestle the gate open. “Is this a graveyard of sorts?”“It is, my family is buried here.”“I don’t understand the setting?”Annie turns around looking back towards her house. In her mind’s eye she can see her mother standing in the door. She was waiting for her da

Each time he tried to reach the door, Aaron hit him with whatever he could grab. “I am going to make you pay. You didn’t die the first time but this time I am going bury you myself,” he warns ignoring whatever was hitting him and grab hold of him.Aaron managed to take one look over his shoulder. The fear runs through his body when he noticed people start circling Annie. This fear drives him into getting angry. “Let go of me,” he instantly fights the grabbing hands. In the scuffling he notices Victor’s foot. He quickly stomps hard onto the bridge of his foot. The man instantly howls in pain. He briefly loosens his hold. It was chance enough for Aaron to make a run for it. The moment he was out the door; he grabbed hold of some empty bottles on the back of a nearby truck.

She keeps cursing herself mentally for coming back to the cursed town. She suddenly sits upright when Anja joined her in the back.“I don’t know why you acting like a fool. You knew this day would come.”Annie didn’t answer her but keeps her eyes sharply focus on her sister. It starts to dawn on her that she looks mentally disturb.“Playing mute is not going to help. Victor likes his woman to be vocal. The first thing he needs to do if place his mark on you. We need to erase that fool’s fingerprints from you.”“Go to hell Anja,” she snaps.“I am already there. You don’t know what Victor is capable off but you will learn once he starts breaking you in.” she said with clear satisfaction. “I am curious Annie. How good is Aa

    Chapter 23: Never ForgetAaron has been looking for Annie, who has made a habit to disappear into hiding. Since the moment they managed to escape from Twin-Rivers, she was quiet and very withdrawn. Since it was already a pre-existing plan it was easy to effectively fall of the radar. The helicopter pilot dropped them off at the airfield where a small airplane was waiting. That pilot in turned dropped them off at a river-side town where a speedboat was waiting. Once they reach the ocean, a big yacht waited to dropped them off at this secluded island with only a few hundred habitants.“Annie…”He finally noticed where she was sitting today, close to the edge of the water. She seemed to be looking at people fishing close. Where he stood, he noticed such loneliness about her person. He looks at the small box the priest has given him. This has him tense as to who she would react once he gave it to her. The other problem he was facing, wondering if she was aware about her mother being alive

There was such a serious look in his eyes.“Here drink this,” The priest handed him a brew-like coffee. “It will help to heal you more quickly.”“Thanks, now tell me about him?” his finger points to his grandfather.“Did he never talk about his bloodline?” the priest went and sit down at a nearby table. He points towards the extra chair for him to take.“No not really.” Aaron starts drinking from the brew. It has a bitter taste but it quickly warms his blood. He can feel the buzzing through his blood.“What do you know about your family Aaron?”“It would seem not much. Father, I was in a car accident. I suffered selective memory loss. It is only recently that I started remembering again.”“That is good but why do you sound uncertain?”“I haven’t spoken to my wife but in truth, I am

He carefully captures her tear.“Tell me his name,” Aaron looks down at the trap young woman between his fingers; his eyes dark and the feelings of cruelty singing in his heart. All he feels now was hatred and fury forcing him to forget the taste of her kisses or the delicious nectar from her body.“You better give me a name Annie Saint-Claire,” he lessens his grip around her neck. He coldly watches her trying to catch her breath. “I am going to kill you if you don’t give me a name, “he talks right in her face.“Aar…Aaron,” she said hoarsely.“I am not the father,”“You are,” she whispers.“I think you need to know who I am,” his hand slipped behind his back removing the silver dagger. “Maybe if you bleed y

It was clear she has lost her cane back at the junkyard.“Sit your ass down bloody hell,” the chill in his tone making her shivers.Annie feeling weak and shaky managed to find the chair and sits down carefully. She can hear him moves around her almost like a cage animal. Her hands carefully circle around her too slim body. Just a couple of hours ago he held her passionately then he just up and left after that call.“I want answers. You better tell me the truth.” Aaron keeps circling.“What do you want from me?” Annie delves deeply into herself to find the sudden calm. She is blind but certainly no one’s pushover.

A vengeful act from Victor. He made certain she won’t ever forget.“Annie, answer me.”“I am in the bathroom.” She answered nervously. She listens as the door quickly opens. She instantly smells his male essence the moment he stood behind her. As always, she immediately feels the quickening of her pulse.“Is something wrong Annie?” Aaron allows his heated eyes to wonders over her naked perfection. He caught sight of her reflection in the mirror and noticed she has currently removed the bandages from her eyes. Looking into her sightless green
