DAMIEN POV

She comes back to the hospital later that night.

She doesn’t say much. Neither do I.

Leah sits quietly in the chair beside my bed and feeds me the food she prepared earlier.

The scrambled eggs are slightly cold but I eat every bite as if it is the best thing I have tasted in years.

Somewhere around midnight she falls asleep on the chair.

I watch her for a long time in the dim light.

My Leah.

This beautiful, stubborn, kind hearted soul who keeps showing up for me even when I give

  • Owned By My Best Friend's Father   Chapter Two hundred and sixty nine

    ELRIC'S POV As we moved through the dark streets, the headlights cut through the night. I sat in the passenger seat with my rifle resting across my knees, my eyes fixed on the road ahead. Marek drove in silence occasionally looking at Elias and Elias, behind me, kept checking his gun for the hundredth time. The rest of the crew followed behind us in their own vehicles. Hopefully this ends well and all these men come back safe. Staring out the window, the buildings outside looked older, more run-down, and less inhabitable. The residential buildings were replaced with warehouses with broken windows and abandoned factories. The city lights were long gone and the place was eerily dark. We entered the industrial district and passed familiar roads as we continued driving in. We got to a street and something caught my eye “Slow down,” I said “What?” Marek asked, turning to me. “Just slow down” He eased off the gas. I leaned forward peering out the window, I wasn't mistaken. That w

    DAMIEN'S POV The drive from his house to wherever Cassian was felt endless. I sat in the passenger seat, occasionally turning to look at Marcus as he drove. Each time I did, he tensed up a little more. I couldn't believe he could betray me like this. I had followed him after he left the office. I should have known something was wrong when Marcus, who needed at most twenty-four hours to find anyone, couldn't find him. "Why..." I muttered under my breath. He didn't respond. "Whyyyyy?" I yelled, "Marcus, why? Why? Why?" He said nothing. Just kept his eyes on the road, refusing to meet mine. I was with the enemy all along. I should put a bullet through him. Make sure he has a slow and miserable death but for some reason, I couldn't bring myself to lay my hands on him. Why? After everything he did? After all the lies? Deep down I knew why. Because he was still Marcus, the same Marcus who had been by my side, saving my life more times than I could count. He had my back even in my

    CASSIAN'S POV I felt a bit of unease as I headed back to the industrial district. Shaking the thought from my head, I continued on my way. "How dare he," I muttered to myself, pounding my fist into the steering wheel. How bold of him to think he can just walk away from me. I made him, after everything I did for him and this is how he chooses to repay me? Without me there was nothing, now all of a sudden he feels he's better than me. My grip on the steering wheel tightened till my knuckles turned white. “Ahhhh” I screamed in frustration. I should have killed him when I had the chance, family or not. No one gets to betray me and get away with it. I should have killed her too, maybe then he'd remember who he belongs to. I drove through traffic, cutting off cars and running red lights. The sound of horns blared around me as drivers stuck their heads out their windows, screaming insults at me. I didn't care. Let them scream. Let them curse me they were nothing. Just ants in my way.

    ELRIC'S POV "Sir! Sir! Sir!" Elias ran up to us panting, his face red and sweaty. He doubled over, hands on his knees as he tried to catch his breath. "What is it?" Marek asked, frowning. "Cassian... he's been sighted," he said breathlessly. I stood there staring at him Elias was known for his games. “If this is some sort of sick game of yours….” I warned. “I swear sir…some cameras in the industrial district, he came in from down town we spotted him about ten minutes ago” he breathed. "Are the feeds still live?" I asked "For now," Elias said. "But you know how it is. He keeps disappearing into dead zones." Dropping the box of ammunition I was carrying, I ran to the warehouse not even bothering to wait for Marek and Elias. Pushing through the warehouse doors, I asked, " Where is he? "I walked towards the monitors. The crew was already gathered around the screens. Leaning in close, I scanned the footage, and in one of them was Cassain in the same black sedan Spreading through

    MARCUS'S POV "Hey Mom, I'm home," I called out as I walked through the front door. But she didn't answer. That was weird "Mom?" I called out again, my voice echoing through the empty hallway. My heart racing, I walked in and began looking around. Everything was fine. I told myself she was probably in the backyard or taking a nap. "Oh hey Marcus, over here," her voice floated from the kitchen. Relief washed over me instantly and I let out a sigh I didn't know I was holding. She was fine everything was okay. I walked into the kitchen wrapping my arms around her from behind and burying my face in her shoulders. I took a deep breath, taking in the smell of lavender and whatever she was cooking. "Hey, hey, what's all this?" she laughed, patting my arm. "You're squeezing the life out of me." "Sorry, Mom," I mumbled into her shoulder, not letting go. "Just happy to see you." She turned in my arms and looked up at me, her eyes searching my face"You look tired, mijo. Are you eating

    MARCUS'S POV I walked out of the office after a while, making sure that Damien had left. That was a close call. Too close. My hands were still shaking as I stood in the empty hallway, staring at the door Damien had just walked through. He knew something was wrong, he wasn't a child and I knew he did by that lie I need to get more people to help secure my mom before making my next move. Ending it with Cassian, I was done with the lies, having to cover up for him every single time. I couldn't keep living like this, constantly looking over my shoulders, stuck in between the fear of Damien finding out and Cassian going crazy and deciding to take us all out. I got in my car and drove. Picking up my phone I dialed Cassian's number it rang twice before he picked up. “Well well to what do I owe this surprise cuz?” He asked in his lazy voice. “Can we meet at our usual spot downtown? It's really important” I said, not bothering to respond to his provocation. “I'm busy….” He began
