Everly POV Theodore is behaving differently, and I am starting to think that something is wrong. I just can’t put my finger on it. Theodore is sitting on the end of the coffee table and guides me to sit in front of him on the couch. He places his hand on my knees, and my entire body goes still and stiff. I look him in the eyes as he takes a deep breath. “What’s going on?” I ask. “Something happened, and I am really sorry”, He says. I frown, looking at him. I have a horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach, and I feel like I am going to be sick. I need him to spit it out. “What happened?” I ask once again, and he takes my hands between his. I look at his lips, waiting for them to part as he speaks. And my world stops moving. “Your dad had a heart attack, and he didn’t make it”, Theodore says, and I can’t really believe that. I stand up and walk to my purse, looking for my phone. For fuck sake, where is my phone? I move around until I find it as I say, “No, that’s not true”. I qu
Theo POV“Where is she?”, I ask as I walk into the safe house. Everyone looks at me with their eyes wide and then they look down. Elliot comes to see me, and his eyes go wide.“Are you okay?” he asks, reaching for my arm. I pull it away as I store down the corridors towards my bedroom. Where is she?”, I ask again and Elliot stops me in my tracks when we reach the bedroom and he shakes his head.I raise an eyebrow looking at him. What the fuck is he doing? Why is he stopping me? I open the door, and the room is dark. Is she asleep? I turn the light on, and the room is empty. I look at Elliot, that is standing behind me. “Where the fuck is she?”, I bark at him as I start walking through the corridor opening every door that I can find, and she’s not there.“Theo, stop, listen to me”, Elliot says holding onto my arm. I turn around, facing him now, and
Everly POV“Spider, why are we here? Where is Theodore?”, I ask, looking around the room. I have never been to the safe house, and dad always sent me out of the country when shit started to get heated for him. Or he would hide me somewhere far away from him. I spent most of my life away from my family as it was the only way dad thought I would be safe especially because I was his dirty little secret.“He is at the safe house with Killian and Elliot”, Spider says, and I nod my head. He doesn’t care. Off he did, he would be here, and he would be here trying to keep me safe. He wouldn’t leave me alone with a man I had just met and with guards I only knew because they used to protect my dad. They are nothing to me. If he cared, he would be by my side now that I lost my dad. I have no one.“Do you want anything to eat, lass?”, Spider asks, and I shake my head, I can&rsquo
Theo POVIt’s been forty-eight hours since I last spoke to Everly. I close my eyes, resting my arm covering my eyes. I take a deep breath as my phone starts ringing again. I pick it up and again it’s the same number. “Hello?”, I answer, and I hear small breathing on the other side, and no one speaks. I frown and I look at the screen again before bringing it back to my ear. “Everly is that you?”, I ask but no answer and the call ends again. That’s it. This has to stop. I stand up grab my tracksuit trousers and put them on. I grab my white t-shirt shove it on, and walk barefoot out of my room towards Elliot’s room. We have been staying at the safe house. The only time I got out was right after my fight with Killian, and I made sure that my knuckles were raw when I got back. I went into a fight club and released all of my frustration. I think one of the guys ended up dead, but I can’t be sure. There was too much blood all around me, and I was still seeing red to be concerned about deta
Hello everyone. So I have come up with an updated schedule for this book. I will take a few days off as my little girl has a horrible cold. And I am potty training my oldest. But, I will be writing offline, so from the first of November, you will have daily updates. There are around 25 chapters till the end of the book. I already have a couple written, and the guideline all mapped out. I understand that it's frustrating to stay one week without updates. But think that from the 1st, you will have daily updates and, some days, double updates. The chapters will be updated at 1 am UK time. Chapter 24 - 1st of November Chapter 25 - 2nd of November Chapter 26 - 3rd of November Chapter 27 - 4th of November Chapter 28 - 5th of November Chapter 29 - 5th of November Chapter 30 - 6th of November This is what I have planned so far. Double update on the fifth, and I might treat you all with another double update another day. Don't forget to leave reviews and comments, please. This b
Theo POVI am putting on my leather jacket when Killian knocks on my open door. I look at him and automatically turn my back to him. He takes a deep breath and walks into my room, closing the door behind him.“Did I say you could come in?” I ask with annoyance, and he looks at me with anger plastered on his face.“You didn’t say I couldn’t either”, He barks at me, and I shake my head as I pull my hair up into a bun. I have been ignoring him. I can’t be fucked with his lame excuses. He hasn’t even apologised yet. He can be a dick sometimes. I know he did what he had to do. But still doesn’t excuse how he did it. He could’ve spoken to me. Tell me he needed Everly dead, and I would’ve faked her death. I would’ve done it so well that even Killian would’ve believed she was dead.“W
Everly POVIt’s been days since I spoke to Theodore, and I hate to admit that I am missing him. I am missing him more than I thought I would. He never really cared about me and about what I had to say or do, but now that my father left everything to me, he cares. Does he want to take over the mafia? I would never want anything to do with that. I don’t want this position.We have an election today to decide who’s taking over for me. We decide to make it a democracy instead of a dictator leadership. I think it’s the best course of action, and after the decision has been made, I will have nothing to do with them, and my connection with them will be severed. I will be able to get a divorce from Theodore, but the agreements and the contracts will remain active. I would never do anything to make his life worse. I know how much that contract was important, and now I understand why they did this marriage.
Theodore POVI stop the car in front of a white building. I look at the satnav and then at my friends, and they are both looking out of the window. The house is so cold that it is falling apart. I open the door and get out at the same time. Killian and Elliot do the same. We all stand near the car with our hands in our pockets. It’s a poor neighbourhood, and I bet that there’s drug trafficking in the area.I look around and see a woman hanging on the floor. She looks like she is passed out, and I look away. I stalk towards the door, and when I am about to knock, the door opens, and I see her. Agnes. Her eyes were dull and without spark, her hair long and filthy with grease. Her clothes with holes and were dirty. What the actual fuck.Her eyes meet mine, and she smiles. She takes one step closer to me to hug me as she raises her arms, and I take one step back. Killian looks at her in shock, and I can se
