Everly POV“Take me to Theo”, I say, and she shakes her head. “Please be reasonable, Everly, and you’re in no condition to go there. At this point, your brother is unrecognisable, and I don’t blame Theo for it. He almost cost you your child, your man, everything”, Mother says, and I shake my head. I need to face Chris. I need to look him in the eyes and show him he didn’t win. “I need to do this. If I am supposed to keep living this life, if I am supposed to raise a child in this world, I need to toughen up and see Chris. I need to face him. I need this”, I say, and she nods her head before she walks out of the room to get the doctor. I realise I am in the safe house, in the same place Chris is being held. I know Theo wouldn’t leave me alone and e far away. He would be close, and my suspicions are confirmed when I am taken in a wheelchair down a lot of corridors and down an elevator. We reach the bottom level, everything is dark, and the smell of urine is sickening; I scrunch my no
Theo POV “You’re doing great, Everly, just a little bit more”, the nurse says, and Everly screams. “I want drugs, and I need drugs, all the drugs you can get me. I can’t do this without the drugs”, she shouts as she cries. She holds my hands, and she is told there’s no time because she is ten centimetres dilated already, and it’s time to push. “I didn’t sign up to do this without drugs, and I want drugs. It hurts”, she cries, and I caress her back as she smacks my hand away. “Don’t fucking touch me”, she barks, and I pull away but stand next to her. I know she is in pain, and I am feeling completely and utterly useless. How is that even possible? “Come on baby, push”, I say as she screams at me in pain, holding my hand tightly. I close my eyes as I hear a baby crying. My entire world collapses at that noise. I never thought we would see the day. Everly was on bed rest for the rest of her pregnancy, and she got in a terrible mood. I tried to keep her company as much as I could, but
Elliot POVLooking in the mirror, I shake my head. I can’t go to the hospital. I can’t stand the smell, and just thinking about it is making my stomach turn. I can’t. I shake my head again, walking away. I walk to the kitchen and pour myself a cup of coffee and rest both my hands on the kitchen island, trying to make up my mind. I know Theo will need me there, but he has Kill and Ash. I think I would be more trouble than help if I went there. “Fuck”, I let out, slamming my hands against the cold stone of the kitchen island. Grow a fucking pair and move your ass to that fucking hospital. I put my boots on after drinking my black coffee, and I grab the keys to my Harley. Maybe the cold weather will help me straighten my head and make me realise I am not a child anymore and being scared of a fucking hospital is as useless as putting milk in a coffee.I speed through the streets of New York, avoiding the traffic that is growing bigger because of all the tourists coming for thanksgiving.
Theo POVI can't believe that my best mate is getting married today. I am his best man with Elliot, and I can say that we never saw this day coming. I remember the day that he introduced me to Ashley, and I thought he was joking. She is nothing like the type of woman he used to go for, He used to date the model type and not really date. He would have occasional sex with them, and that would be it."Mate, I hope she makes you happy", Elliot says and Kill looks at him and nods his head. He is the quietest of the three of us, always deep in thought while I have verbal diarrhoea. "Shall we go for a fag?" I ask, standing up and patting my pockets to find my fags. The other two stand up, following me."I need to tell Ashley", Killian says, and Elliot moves his phone that makes a whip sound, and I can't help but laugh out loud. That is the funniest shit ever. Elliot smiles as Kill flips us the bird. We walk towards the bathroom, and he knocks on the door. "Babe, I'm going for a fag with Th
Everly POVThe way he kisses me sends fire to my loins, and I can’t believe he has his lips glued to mine while his hand is moving up and down my back, stroking my exposed skin. I feel like my heart is about to explode as he stops kissing me, and his eyes lock with mine while he rests his forehead against mine. “Don’t you ever leave me again”, he whispers in my ear, sending a jolt of love down my body that makes me close my eyes and absorb the impact of his words. “You are everything to me”, he whispers again while his lips seductively kiss my neck while I stop myself from moaning while my hands get tangled in his hair.I shake my head as I pull the chair away from my desk, closing my laptop. I can’t write anymore today, and this book is starting to drive me insane. Why have I started doing this? Why am I writing about something that I know nothing about? All I know about love is what I read in my smut and romance books. I have never loved anyone, and I have never been loved. But let
Theo POVAfter arriving at the hospital I was put in the private area that we own. I know, right. I open my eyes, and the light bothers me. My head is about to explode. I close my eyes again, and I hear the door opening and heels clicking. I open one eye slightly, and I see the red hair I have been waiting for. “Ash”, I let out as I pull myself up on the bed into a sitting position and my head hurts, sending a wave of nausea down my body. “Easy tiger”, she says as she rests a hand on my shoulder. I look at her, and I can see bruises forming on her face and arms, her white dress is anything but white; there’s black spots and red. “Are you hurt? Are you okay? Where is Killian?’ I start bombarding her with questions and Ash smiles, sitting on the edge of the bed. “He is okay, he’s just dealing with something, and he will come. He took Elliot with him”, Ash says, and I nod my head flopping back down on the bed and closing my eyes.“How are you feeling?” she asks me, and I offer her my
Everly POVI have been locked in this estate for the past three days, and I am about to lose my mind. My dad is terrified, and my brother looks like he has seen a fucking ghost; I have been staying in my small house, writing and exercising on my peloton. I close my eyes as I rub my forehead with my fingers. I have a headache arriving. I stand up, walk to the kitchen, and make myself a cup of English tea. I am taking my first sip when the front door opens, and my brother walks in.He looks deranged. He sits at the kitchen island and rests his head between his hands. “Hey, you okay?” I ask him, and his eyes meet mine. He shakes his head closes his eyes, and rests his forehead against the cold granite. I walk to him, placing my tea in front of him while I make another one. He raises his eyes to meet mine and thanks me for the tea. I nod my head sitting next to me, slowly sipping my tea.“I need to talk to you”, he says, and I look at him. He looks heartbroken, and I know that something
Theo POV“What the fuck is going on? Who died?” I ask, and Kill’s eyes meet mine. He has anger plastered all over his face as he swallows hard.“We need to make an alliance with the Americans”, he says, and I nod my head. But that doesn’t fucking answer my question. As I am about to ask again, the door behind me opens, making me jump out of the way, and Kill’s dad walks in. He looks miserable, and he looks crazy. I look behind him, but his mum is nowhere to be seen. No… No,… not possible. I look at Elliot, trying to figure out what the fuck is happening, but he keeps his eyes on the floor. He looks fucking miserable. Kill’s dad walks into the room, and we all look at him.“What are we going to do about those fucking bastards? I want their heads on a fucking platter,” he says, and Killian stands up, hugging his dead. I have never seen those two being so emotional. “They killed my wife, they killed your mother, I want them all fucking dead”, he says and shit. That’s what. It is happen
