Luke's POV
As soon as I arrive back from the warehouse, I immediately sense that something was off. Rather, someone isn't here.
I toss my leather jacket onto my office chair, but as I do so, I catch a glance of the computer screen. I get closer to the screen and see the bold words of: WAREHOUSE MEETING TONIGHT. An email that was only for me to see, but unluckily showed up here on this very computer Maria just so happened to be using.
"For fuck sakes," I groan and grab my jacket again, pulling it over me. I check the load on my gun before running back out to my truck.
Soon, I pull up to the warehouse again, noticing Maria's rover a few blocks before.
Thank god it's still there. What the hell would I do if I lost her?
I shift the truck into park and turn it off as I make my way out in a hurry. "Maria!" I yell out, approaching the warehouse door and swinging it open with ease. "Where the hell are you, Maria?! I know you're in here."
I ta
Maria's POV"Socks, underwear, T-shirt's, pants, toothbrush..." I mumble to myself as I rummage through my backpack. Everything seems to be here, but I seem to be missing something important. "Aha! Money, I need money!"I zip the bag up and swing it over my shoulder. The door is locked but I have a plan to get my money and get the hell out of here. Who knows when Luke will be back?Our bedroom is on the second floor and has a balcony outlooking the pool below us, and just over lapping it by an inch. I'm still pretty sore from the beating I received, but I'm confident I can escape. There is absolutely no way I will let this child live a life like this; they deserve better than what I've received.I crack open the glass door to the balcony and look out to the pool. Currently there are no pool cleaners, maids, or guards in sight. This is my chance and the universe wants me to take it now.Taking my bag from my shoulder, I toss it down onto the dry gro
3 months later LUKE'S POV We've been looking for her non-stop these past few months. There's been lots of close traces but they just went no where. We know she left her car at a dealership, stole 1 million fucking dollars from me, and left the city by bus. And now, she's completely untraceable. I kick back in my office chair and watch the security tapes play over and over again, watching Maria's every move: from her exiting her car, going to the bank to getting on a bus. "Wait! Play that back." I yell to Cody. He plays it back and I see the name of the bus. "GreenPort Transportation," I read. "Find video footage of her there.. But I think it's safe to say, we're going to GreenPort." I confirmed. "Alright, should I make a team of guards up?" Asks Cody. "Yes.." I say, getting up from the office chair with pure satisfaction. Then I turn back towards him. "Oh, I forgot to ask. How's Bethany?" Cody smiles, "she's due
I hang up the phone in a panic, roughly letting it crash down on to the counter."No, no, no, he can't find me!" I cry out as I scurry back towards my bedroom where I plan to retrieve a suitcase and leave again.A creak of floor boards sound behind me. "But I already did, Maria"I hear the door close. I look over and see Luke standing there in all his glory of finding me.As he starts to walk up to me, I back into the wall, shielding myself with both my hands so I don't have to look him in his icy blue eyes.I eventually hit the wall and he puts both of his arms up by me, making a barrier.He chuckles evilly. "So, how has Maria been? Did your boyfriend fuck you as good as I do?" He asks, stroking my face with a rough thumb.I shed a tear as I look to him. "I- I never even kissed him, I swear!" I panic.He nodded. "Good, good..." he says, getting his face closer to mine. "Because you're mine!" He grabbed my arm tightly in his la
Luke's POV"Maria?" I call out to her as I watch her peacefully sleep in the arm chair a few feet from the end of the bed. Even with one whole side of a bed there just for her, she stills decides to curl up in my arm chair with the blanket that I use each night. It was a blanket that my Mama had knitted for me just before she had went missing... I use it as an extra cover on the cooler nights.Sighing, I approach Maria, placing my hand against the small of her back a crouch down in front of her.She's so beautiful when she sleeps... I can barley even sit here still without wanting to stroke her locks and plant lustful kisses on her sweet, reddened cheeks.Suddenly, her body begins rustling from underneath my blanket and her soft green eyes blink open in surprise. "What are you doing, Luke?" she groggily question as she stirs awake and sits up in the arm chair. Coming to a full sitting position, she winces in pain, placin
“Oh god Bethany!” I gasp, looking down at her bleeding and pale body.She peers up at me, nothing but desperation in her sad brown eyes. “Please, Maria… help me…” she groans, looking down at the pool of blood between her legs.Nodding hurriedly, I bend over and help her up off of the ground and begin guiding her into the house and towards the living room.As we slowly move towards the living room, I begin to feel cramping on my lower stomach."It's just Braxton Hicks.. It's just Braxton Hicks." I whisper to myself, trying not to worry Bethany anymore.Bethany groans in pain the whole entire way there, clinging to her lower stomach and tears flowing down her cheeks. And oh god.. there’s so much blood by the time we reached the living room.I put her down on the big leather couch and and sit down on the coffee table in front of her, sighing deeply.She screams loudly again holding her stomach
"What's going on?" I question as I enter Luke's closet, watching him as he quickly strips from his brown, loose-fitting t-shirt to a snug black one.He now has on a completely black outfit and begins loading guns, not even hesitating to stuff them in his back pockets along with a few knives.Wh-what in the world?"Oh my god.. are we being attacked?" I stammer, gapping down at all the deadly weapons in front of me.Luke turns towards me, pockets loaded with handguns and an assault rifle slung around his broad shoulders."Don't worry, I've got it under control,"He assures, giving me a look that should make me feel safe but I only feel worse because the pain in his eyes are so prominent.
Luke's POVEverything was a blur after the explosion.All I remember is seeing my so-called brother standing in front of me, then another injecting me with cold fluid that almost immediatley had me drifitng off to sleep.Now I'm trying to fight the darkness that surrounds me but it just won't brighten. All I can feel are bound tied around each limb of my body, keeping from just barley breathing."Are the knives sharpened?" One asks."All ready, boss," Another answers."Alright, wake him up," the first voice orders.Ice-cold water is poured over me, wkaing me up fro
Beep... Beep... Beep That's the only sound that I could hear. And my god it was pissing me off. But that sad thing was, all I could see was blackness and I could move a finger. I wasn't even breathing on my own, a machine was doing it for me. Then, someone entered the room. The beeping on the monitor started to speed up and the person rushed over to me. "Shh... it's okay, it's me, your nurse." The person said gently patting my hand. The beeping slowed to a steady rhythm and I felt fine again. I heard the ruffling
