Walking through the doors of my company, I was hit with that same energy from outside, this place was somewhere I had spent much of my time before my life seemed to flip on its head. When I’d walk the halls of this building, most of the time with Peter beside me, I was a completely different person who was blissfully unaware of all that was set to happen in the coming months.

But now as I followed just behind Richard with Baxter now beside me, it was as though I was stepping through time once again and reliving my past but this time, as a different version of myself. As we walked through the main lobby and into the office section of my building, all of my employees sat behind their desks getting on with their work but soon, looked up shocked to see me walk past.

“Have you made sure these people aren’t going to talk?” I asked as I looked around at their shocked faces but not only at me, but the group of men who didn’t seem to fit with my upper-class office walking behind me, not smil

    The next week after Baxter proposed was spent with me healing from my injuries and Baxter, lining up the last steps of his plan to deal with Hayward. He had the money on his side which was so great, Hayward wouldn’t be able to help himself meeting Baxter in person to receive it. The next part he had to figure out was how we were going to get his mother out of the apartment building with the help of my new security team, and somehow not allow Hayward to know what was happening before Baxter can deal with him. As I sat at the counter reading through the security agreement I had Richard send me over, hoping I could see something which could offer us some help, Baxter walks in the room with a very expensive looking beautiful suit on his body, my eyes instantly, looking him up and down, he was smoking hot. “My eyes are up here Princess.” He smirked spotting where my eyes had drifted to, where I simply shrugged placing my arm down on the counter with my head leaning on it watching him a l

    This time when I woke up, I didn’t know if it was because I knew I was safe or the pills that Brown had given me helped, but my body didn’t ache nearly as much. Of course, not having Baxter beside me did upset and scare me a little but as he had told me before, he was out dealing with these men to make sure it could never happen again. The apartment did smell delicious though, opening up my eyes to find Smith cooking away in the kitchen, the guns still sat on the table and a couple on the counter closer to him in case something happened, I couldn’t help but smile, wrapped myself in the warmest blanket that was placed over my body and slowly made my way closer to the kitchen watching and helping where I could. As we cooked, Smith did his favourite task and chatted about anything that came to his mind, the chats and the cooking allowed time to slip away from us a little and before I knew it, Smith’s phone pinged on the counter. “It’s the boss, he and the guys are in the elevator and

    Rose soon fell asleep in Baxter’s arms, the way her body fell into his and how safe she felt in his arms, only validated the way Baxter felt in this moment. A man who he had had some run ins with, in the past sent one of his own men, someone he had trusted with information about Rose to kill her. He would have preferred if he was the man who would have dealt when Thompson, have him beg Baxter to spare him just like he had forced Rose to do. Baxter imagined the many intricate ways he was going to use the same knife Thompson had to stab Rose but this time, make each slice not deep enough to kill him that moment but allow him to watch as all the blood drained from Thompson’s body. Not all was lost in Baxter’s mind, perhaps he couldn’t kill the man who hurt his Princess, but he still had the chance to torture the person who sent him. Gently moving Rose so her head fell onto a soft pillow and a soft blanket placed over her body, he ran his hand through her hair watching as she slept. “I

    My mind began to flash through scenes of the days leading up to the stabbing, meeting Smith by the car with his suit, walking into Lukas’s mansion, the lights hanging from the ceiling seeming to shine even brighter than before, blinding me and flashing me to another scene, stood with Baxter holding me close in the same black dress, the blue in his eyes captivating as he looked into mine. But the very last scene to play was Thompson bursting through the door, him pinning me down on the floor holding my throat as he watched me gasp for air, those loud gunshot as he was shot by Riley louder than before causing my ears to ring so deafeningly, it was as though I was suffocating in the sound. But with a final flash of light, my eyes snap open allowing me to take the biggest breath of air possible, my body sending me in a sitting position as I looked around in a panic. My ears still rang so loud that all sounds from around me were nothing but a muffled noise, my heart pounding in my chest

    My breaths came out in laboured pants as the wound on my shoulder still oozed with blood no matter how much pressure Riley would place on it and the many tea towels we’d ruined. His voice telling me to stay awake and how Baxter was on the way is the only thing which urged me to keep my eyes open, even though I was as optimistic as any other person, the thought that this stab wound was about to kill me clung to my thoughts. Getting to see Baxter one last time arched my heart but was also what spurred me on. The moment my eyes closed for the millionth time, the already open apartment door nearly flies from its hinges allowing my eyes to snap open and watch as Baxter and the rest of the guy's rush in. Baxter running faster than I’d ever seen him move before straight to my face and placed his hands on my cheeks while Brown, joins Riley at my shoulder and seemed to know what to do. “Bax…ter.” My weak voice managed to say through the tiredness I was feeling throughout my senses, I actua

    The next morning, I was once again left in the apartment while Baxter hit the final job of his streak of heists which I had help him set up. This time, I had been given the strictest of instructions to not leave the apartment until he returned, an order he insisted I listened to and this time, it wasn’t Smith who was my babysitter but Riley instead. Baxter claimed this switch was because he needed Smith’s areas of expertise on this next job, but I wasn’t having any of it, Baxter was still pretty annoyed that Smith and I had left the apartment yesterday without his permission and he’d taken me somewhere. This was his way of keeping distance between Smith and I, not that I thought we needed any kind of distance. But I didn’t mind sitting with Riley, he and I always got along. So, as I stood behind the counter fixing him a coffee, he sat watching the TV with his feet up looking beyond comfortable with the set up. “Is this all Smith does all day when he’s with you, I may have to ask th
