I couldn't make up my mind. A whole week had passed since that morning in Jordan's office, and I still couldn't make up my mind on whether I wanted to move up at Kingston or step out and start from scratch.

Jordan had insisted on leaving me to make the decision by myself. He didn't want to influence it because this was something I had to do on my own. Chloe seemed to be on the same page as him. All she seemed able to say was that I would have to follow my heart. But how could I follow my heart when I didn't even know what it was saying?

Chloe still hadn't made up with Caleb. I could see in her eyes how much the break was hurting her, but somehow she never seemed willing to talk about it. He was hurting too, Jordan told me. He’d withdrawn into his shell, drinking more, and not talking much.

I mentioned to Chloe once that this was self sabotage. There was no reason for this break. At least, none that I could see, so what was the need to hurt them both like this? She stopped talking to h

  • To Love Again   Chapter 125

    Chapter 124Jordan's POVThree days!It had been three more days since Marissa had gone missing. Two days since her mother had shown up at the door to announce that Anthony was out of jail. Two days since I'd been turning all of New York city over in search of the woman I'd come to love so much that the mere thought of living without her has continued to squeeze painfully at my heart.Caleb had infact confirmed that Anthony had been released from jail. First, the warders had tried to play innocent. They'd claimed not to have an idea who or what Caleb was talking about, but a name drop, revealing him as a Kingston, and a single threat to have them all thrown in the same cell Anthony had occupied only days before had them rethinking their answers.In the end, they had admitted to having let him go after his lawyer provided a Magistrate's order of release. That didn't make much sense to me when Caleb relayed it to me hours later. It didn't make much sense to him either. I was certain tha

    It hurt to sit there, powerless and look up only to be greeted with a gleeful smile on Layla's traitorous face. She'd come in with Anthony this time. I hadn't seen her since that first day when she'd come to rub her betrayal in my face.Anthony stood behind her, an eerily calm look on his face. He was dressed in a navy blue shirt and clean jeans. He always did like to look clean… good, even. Like all was perfect with him. It's the people in his life that he treated like trash, not the things he bought with his money. No, he treasured those.His gaze swept over me where I sat crouched on the floor. Hadn't he said before that my weakness was pathetic? Well, now he could enjoy taking in the view of my pathetic self. He smiled. Probably at how small I looked sitting there. In truth, I wasn't sure I had much fight left in me. “Well, look at that,” he said. “She finally ate.”I didn’t respond. I let my eyes drop, made my shoulders hunch just slightly. I had a mission, and if this was going

    Marissa's POVI didn't know how many days it had been in here. The days wore on drearily. I was aware that I'd spent more than mere hours in here but I couldn't say just how long it had been. The only way I measured the hours was by the faint shift in temperature. I saw that it was warmer when the sun was probably up, colder when night crept in. There was no window, no clock, no sound except the occasional footsteps outside the bolted door, and the uneven dripping from a pipe somewhere nearby.I sat with my knees pulled up to my chest, my back against the wall. The floor beneath me was hard, damp in some places, and my legs ached from staying in the same curled position for too long. My wrists hurt. He hadn't tied me up, not physically, but every corner of this room was like a shackle. And the silence! Oh, the silence was loud. It was deafening. It was maddening.There was a tray on the floor a few feet away from me. A single slice of bread and half a bottle of water. They'd given me

    I was at the door in a millisecond.“What did you know, Elizabeth?"The panic in her eyes had my heart beating faster than it had ever beat, but I struggled for calm. No need getting worked up now when I didn't know what she was talking about. When she didn't respond to my question, I asked her again and her panicked eyes came to rest on mine before she spoke.“It's Anthony. It's him. I knew he was up to no good!"Chloe rolled her eyes and looked to me as if to say, I just knew we couldn't trust her.“What the hell are you talking about?” Chloe asked. “Anthony is in jail and will be for a couple more months so what do you mean it's…”"It's him! I swear it. Believe me, I know what I'm saying.”My ears were ringing with rage, and I tried desperately to cling to the calm I'd mustered earlier."Calm down, Elizabeth, and tell us exactly what you know." I said. "He called me! Yesterday morning. At first, I didn't know who it was, but then he called me his favorite ally and asked if I was w

  • To Love Again   Chapter 121

    I’d never paced this much in my life.The tiles in Chloe’s living room were probably tired of my footsteps, and honestly, so was I. But what else was I supposed to do? Sit? Pretend like my chest wasn’t about to collapse in on itself?I couldn't do that. Not when it felt like my entire world was crashing down. Not when everyone who matters to me was sitting in this living room, with worried expressions trying to figure out what could have happened and where the hell Marissa was. She was gone.It had been hours. Almost 24 goddamn hours! Where hadn't we looked? Who hadn't we asked? And where the fuck was she, still? I didn't get any sleep last night. And the moment I saw a bit of light in the sky, I was on the road and pounding heavily on Marissa and Chloe's door. I just wanted to know if she was back.Chloe answered almost immediately, proving that she hadn't been able to get much sleep either. If I had any doubts about that before, the eyebags beneath her eyes cleared me. “She's stil

  • To Love Again   Chapter 120

    My hands were clammy as I stared up at the leering face in front of me. Anthony was here. How? He was in jail. He'd been sentenced. I knew that. So how was he here? We hadn't heard anything about him getting out on patrol. We… I steeled my face. I wouldn't show him weakness. I couldn't. I didn't understand how he could be here, but it didn't matter. This was Anthony. The same Anthony who had ridiculed me and tried to put me down every chance that he got. The same Anthony who had brought my mother to testify against me in court. The same Anthony who'd never missed a chance to break my spirit and make me feel small.No. I couldn't show any signs of weakness now. It wasn't an option. “What do you want?” I managed to choke out, struggling to keep my voice steady. “Why are you doing this?”“I always told you we had unfinished business,” he said with a smile that made my skin crawl. “Of course I didn't appreciate being sent to jail by you and your little lover, that blasted Kingston. But
