Thank you for reading! Please drop a Gem if you are still enjoying Ella and Jace's story. Readers have asked about the whole Mason issue, and so here it comes...get ready! =)
ELLA POV “I know, without a shadow of a doubt, that Mason has his hand in this, Dad” We are all sitting around the table after letting my parents listen to my sister’s confession from when she came to visit. To say that my parents are livid, is putting it mildly. I’ve never seen my dad so pissed off; I’m seriously afraid that he may have a coronary. My father is still pretty young but with everything that has happened with me, and now my sister, I’m scared that it will be too much. “Why did she not come clean to us about it, it makes no sense?” My mother questions more to herself than anything. “I should have checked in after so long, but I’ve been a bit preoccupied with everything. I didn’t even think to ask you when you flew out the other day.” I’m really kicking myself in the butt on this one. She is my baby sister and I should have been watching out for her best interests, I should have told my parents myself. “Don’t do that.” Jace speaks from beside me. “Don’t do what?” “Bl
JACE POV Jude is in too much shock to move, so I rush over to Beth and crouch down beside her. I feel for a pulse at her neck and right away I know that she is still with us because her skin is still warm to the touch. That’s when I feel it, it’s faint, but it’s still there. “She’s alive Jude, but we need to get her to the hospital soon.” I turn her all the way onto her back, and I’m shocked to see the condition that she is in. Aside from a gash near her eye and a split lip, she looks better than I thought she would after seeing all the blood on Elise. It isn’t until I look down and see all the dried blood between her thighs that I figure out where it all came from. My eyes sweep around the area and find what I was looking for before closing my eyes and cursing. Those fuckers used anything they could find with a handle and used it to sexually assault Beth. I see movement coming my way and I swing around as I stand up. “No, don’t! You don’t want to see her like this. Go call an ambu
ELLA POV I hate hospitals and I seem to be in them more frequently these days. The doctors won’t let us in the room or tell us anything because we aren’t family, and until Beth wakes up, we are in the dark. Jude isn’t taking this very well, and I know it isn’t because he wants Beth back, but they had been together for a few years, and he also believes that this is somehow his fault. What I’m trying to figure out is how Madison and Mason knew about me and Jace being involved in any of this. The only conclusion that I’m coming to is that Beth finally told Madison who it was that Jude was helping in the beginning. I know there is no love lost between me and Madison because of the ordeal with her brother, but to do this to two innocent people over wanting revenge...I just don’t understand how people can be so evil. I’m pacing back and forth waiting for what, I don’t really know, but I can’t sit down any longer. Thoughts of my baby sister at the hands of that guy; it’s making me sick to
JUDE POV “Jude.” I stand in the doorway staring at the woman that I have spent the last few years loving, waiting for her to look up and see me. When she finally turns my way, my name is the only thing that falls from her lips. She looks much better than what she did when we found her, but I’m more worried about her mental state at this point. “Beth, I’m glad to see you up and talking.” I move closer to the bed and take a seat in the same chair that I assume Ella sat in, “Ella told me what you told her. Thank you for putting her mind to rest about her sister.” “Why wouldn’t I? I don’t hate Ella, I never have. That girl is hard to dislike,” she chuckles, “I was only jealous over the attention you were showing her, but that’s on me.” Her fingers play with a loose thread on the comforter, and she turns her head to watch them, “I was feeling guilty because what I was doing with Craig.” I nod but my jaw still clenches at the reminder of her time with her boss, “I’m not here to talk abo
JACE POV “What the fuck are the two of you doing in my house?” Toby asks as soon as he’s sees me and Ella standing in the doorway. “We need information and you’re going to give it to us.” I glare at my old douchebag of a friend. “Fuck that, I’m not giving you shit!” He states and starts to look at Ella, but he can’t. I can see the guilt in his eyes, but he doesn’t want to acknowledge it. “Please, Toby. It’s the least you can do after what happened, you owe me.” Ella pleads and I take her hand in mine, “Brandon, please. Mason has my sister and has already beaten her; I’m scared of what will happen if she stays with him any longer.” “Wait, Mason has Elise? What for?” Brandon asks this with a look of concern. I’m assuming to get back at Ella, I’m not for sure,” I state, but he and Madison have already sexually assaulted a friend of ours and left her for dead. Those twins have turned sadistic.” “You’re just learning this?” Toby sneers, "He’s the one that came up with the whole plan
I can’t look, my heart is breaking for my baby sister! I can’t save her from what is about to happen. The fact that both Mason and his sister is this sadistic is unfathomable to me. They need to be stopped! How is my sister going to come out of this mentally and emotionally, she’s still just a kid? A crashing noise breaks through my thoughts, and I whip my head around just in time to see Jude’s two friends tackling both twins. I don’t know when he left but Jude enters the room behind everyone and goes straight to my sister. Chaos fills the room as Mason tries to fight off the guy on top of him. Once he checks on Elise, Jude comes over to the window and opens it before going back to the bed and lifting my sister up and bringing her small beaten body over to us. I gasp at the sight of her, but I remember what Jace told me, and I get hold of myself, so I can help grab her and pull her out the window. Just as Jude releases my sister, though, a shot rings out and I hear him grunt hard bef
JUDE POV Pain slices through my side just as I pass Elise to Jace and Ella. I grab hold of the side with the burning pain as I yell at Ella to go. I can see it in her eyes that she doesn’t want to leave me, and that in itself warms my heart, but I need them to get the hell out of here, so they will be safe. Hardening myself, I yell one last time for them to go, and they finally do, leaving me to help clean up this mess. I turn around to see Mason pinned to the floor with the smoking gun in his hand. His wrist is now pinned, so he can’t use it on anyone else. Pulling it from his grasp, my friend moves off him but before he can get up, I slam the gun down on his face, knocking him back down and causing a gash on his forehead. Handing the gun back to my friend before I give in and use it on the sick fuck. I slam my fist into his face over and over until he’s a bloody mess. His sister screams in the background for me to stop, but I tune her out. Grabbing the bastard by his collar I brin
It finally feels as though life is getting back on track. We have Elise back, the twins are now locked away for good, as well as my stalker and his little knife-wielding girlfriend, and now Jude has agreed to move in with us and give a three-way relationship a try. At least that’s what I call it, I’m not sure how it will work between Jace and Jude. As much as I would love to watch those two together, I’ll let them decide on the type of relationship they want with each other. One thing is for sure, they definitely work well together when dominating me. I love submitting, not only to Jace, but to the Master of Pleasure himself, Jude fucking Landry, as he likes to say it. He’s definitely going to be breaking a lot of hearts in this area when he leaves, but hopefully he doesn’t find any new ones where he’s going. I’m hoping I’m enough for him. I know how Jude is, and I don’t want to change him, but I’m wanting to be selfish and keep both Jace and Jude to myself. Yeah, I know, I’m a hypocr
