Chapter Thirty-One
I stay in my room just staring at the wall, what does Austin expect me to do with the information he just told me? What will Roman do if he found out? When he gets back are we just going to pretend none of this happened? As I’ve said before Roman is so good at catching the vibes of the room, he’ll know something is off almost immediately and will ask what’s going on.I couldn’t help but feel bad for Austin, if he’s telling the truth and he has been hiding the way he was feeling since school, that’s been more than a few years. From the way he was telling me back there, I could just see how hard it was for him to tell me.Before I had time to dwell on those thoughts anymore, Austin starts to shout dinner was ready in the kitchen. How is he acting so casual after what we just spoke about?! With a little sigh I sit up from bed, I knew I couldn’t avoid Austin forever. Firstly, because we live in the same apartment and second, we still have to keep up the couple act around Markus. I slide o

Chapter Thirty-Two
It was the next morning, I didn’t really get much sleep last night as my mind was just racing with all the things Austin told me yesterday. The thing I couldn’t get out my head was the way he said Roman treats me, I’ve never thought Roman treated me badly, he’s just really over protective. He’s always been like that ever since we started dating, he used to walk me to and from school to keep me safe even though it added an extra hour onto his walk each day.What also was playing on my mind all night, was when Austin told me he loved me. I didn’t know how I was supposed to handle that, until Roman left I generally thought that man disliked or even hated me at times! But according to him, he’s had those feelings for me ever since we met in school. But why would he constantly treat me like dirt then?A knock on my bedroom door makes me jump slightly, within a few seconds Austin was walking in with a plate of food in his hands. That same smile still on his lips, which I couldn’t help but s

Chapter Thirty-Three
We walk around the different stalls for around an hour, I could not get over the beauty of this place and how it is not really known to the public. Now I know about it, I hope Austin is telling me the truth when he tells me we can come here often.The people were also so nice, they were just generally grateful that we were there walking around. I must have thanked Austin like a thousand times for taking me here, this was truly a beautiful place!We soon stop at a stall that was selling handmade jewellery, you could just tell by looking that these were made with such love and care. Every piece was dramatically different to the other, so if you brought this you were really getting a one-of-a-kind piece of jewellery. My eyes scan the pieces when they land on one, it was a beautiful locket that was sat on its own.“Do you like it?” Austin asks once noticing my eyes had not moved to any other piece, I nod my head with a little smile as I went.“It looks nearly identical to the one my grand

Chapter Thirty-Four
We continue to cloud spot for a little while longer, this was something I didn’t expect that Austin would be enjoying. At first, I know he didn’t really think much of it, but now he was eagerly pointing at the different clouds. His guesses are much weirder than mine, apparently, he kept seeing a troll for some unknown reason.“I knew once you started getting into it, you’d start enjoying yourself” I say looking over at Austin who was still laying beside me, he nods his head laughing turning to look at me too.“I didn’t think this would be something I would be enjoying either, but lately it’s become clear that any activity involving you, I always enjoy myself” he says looking at my face where I just smile, but the conversation we had last night popped back into my mind.“What did you want me to do with the information you told me last night, I’m so happy with Roman and can’t picture myself with anyone that isn’t him” I say just being open with him, I didn’t want to lead him on in any w

Chapter Thirty-Five
On the way home from the village, we stop off at Austin’s favourite pizza place. I wasn’t that hungry as I thought those pastries filled me up, but Austin kept saying that cloud spotting really took it out of him. We were walking up the steps to the apartment, Austin was going on a long tangent of how pizza is actually good for and that’s why we should eat it at least once a week. I laugh unlocking the door telling him how insane that sounded.“The ingredients for pizza may be somewhat healthy, but the amount of salt that they put in it isn’t good for you” I laugh walking through the door, it’s nice to have it every once and awhile but not constantly.I place my purse on the little shelf by the door before entering the living room, but once I look over, I stop in my tracks. Standing in the middle of the living room, facing the door was Roman. Austin continues to make a joke until he walks into me, he stops what he was doing until his eyes also go to the living room and saw Roman there

Chapter Thirty-Six
I didn’t see Austin that night, I was worried until I heard him walking through the door in the early hours of the morning. I got ready for the day with Roman sat on the bed watching me, he was asking me questions about Jacob and the things I’ve had to do. I told him some parts while keeping others to myself, I knew Jacob would probably want to keep some parts between us for the time being.Once I was ready, we both leave the bedroom and head towards the main part of the apartment, where sat in the living room was Austin. As we walk in, he turns to look at us, I send him a tiny smile before looking over at Roman. Him and Roman haven’t been in the same room as each other since he found out what has been happening, just from this morning he doesn’t seem to be too annoyed anymore. Roman and Austin soon make eye contact, but for the first time, Austin doesn’t seem to be the one starting a conversation.“Alright, I just want to say I don’t have anything against you man, I understand why yo

Chapter Thirty-Seven
I follow Jacob into this huge abandoned looking warehouse, but my mouth just hangs open from shock when I walk inside. I had never seen a place like this in all of my life, I thought it was just in those crime hunting tv series. The outside looked like a rundown warehouse whereas the inside, was decked out with high level computers and more devices than I have seen in all my life! As we walk in, I spot three other people sat there, who hadn’t noticed we had walked in due to their heads being buried in work.“Look alive people!” Jacob exclaims loudly which does finally get their attentions, they all whip their heads up to look at Jacob before all their eyes turn to look at me trailing behind him. “We need to widen our search for Brooke, we need to look at places where Markus frequents the most” he tells them stopping at a table, I was a little behind him just trying to take all this in as I was still pretty shocked about it all.“Do you believe there is a connection between Markus and

Chapter Thirty-Eight
In no time at all, we arrive at the apartment that Brooke shares with her mother. She had tried to move out on her own a few years ago, but her father passed away and she didn’t want her mother to be alone, so she moved back in. I get out of the car scanning my surroundings, I’ve become accustomed to doing that since Markus has turned up on scene. Jacob sends me a smile as we both make our way towards the old metal steps.“You know, you and I could be partners once all of this is done” Jacob tells me as we reach the front door, I look up at him sending him a weird look with a smile, I mean we have done some mini mission together. “But now that I’m thinking about it, it couldn’t happen as you already have two other men fighting over you” he says placing his hands in his pockets, this didn’t make any sense to me which makes me send him another confused look. “I know Roman and Austin are currently fighting over your hand, at least you’re keeping your options open” he says in a weird acce

Chapter Thirty-Nine
I continue walking around Brooke’s apartment, I couldn’t really do much as I wasn’t an officer like Jacob, but I still wanted to look around in case I found anything that didn’t fit. Jacob was in the kitchen seeing if he could find any fingerprints, while I slowly make my way around the living room taking in all the insignificant details. I didn’t come in Brooke’s house too often, but the handful of times that I have been over, you can see that her mother likes to keep everything looking the same.My eyes soon move to the mantel piece just above the old fire, which is where I see the photo of me a Brooke sitting there. I walk over with a smile recalling the memory, it was actually the first photo we ever took as friends about a month after she started working. The whole restaurant had to be evacuated due to some fire drill, but it was freezing cold, so Brooke pulls her phone out saying let’s take one more photo before we all freeze to death!I let out a little laugh before turning awa

Chapter Forty
We were soon pulling into the carpark for my house, the entire car ride Jacob was trying to reassure me that everything was going to be okay, but I was unsure. We both just heard how Markus is planning something big that has to do with me and Austin, perhaps it would have been better if I didn’t know. But I knew what Jacob was saying was right, now I’m working with his team I know that he will protect me and the guys, but I can’t help worrying. Markus is a tricky guy, you can neve guess what that man is thinking.We soon pull up at the start of the stairs, I thank Jacob before turning and opening up the door. I couldn’t help but close my eyes slightly as the wind whipped through my hair, so much has happened in this short amount of time that I’m struggling to keep up with it all. I was about to close the door, but I pause looking back into the car at Jacob who was sat smiling at me.“Now we know Markus is dumping Brooke’s phone somewhere, it’s pretty likely that she’s dead right?” I a
