Chapter 141

Em She was having a nightmare. Shit. She should’ve known this would happen .. hell she did know this would happen. She was sleeping all by herself. And not only was she by herself where she was laying .. but Em was alone in the entire house. Of course this would happen. Em didn’t even really remember going to sleep. She was actually shocked she’d done it so easily.. especially seeing as how worked up she had been. It had to have been the fact that she hadn’t slept any the night before. Or that all the adrenaline she’d had when checking the house had left .. she crashed out. No matter what it was or how it happened, she was grateful that she’d been able to sleep at all considering how nervous and worried she’d been. The crushing anxiety had been overwhelming. But .. she had still gone to sleep. But now? She was certain she was having a nightmare. Wake up wake up wake up …. She told herself. It wasn’t very often that she was able to recognize that she was dreaming in

Chapter 142

Quinn The bell had rung. The fight was back on. This time .. he waited. He didn’t charge his brother. He wanted to turn the mind games back around on him. A couple more spectators had arrived. And they needed to nip that in the bud. Quinn even saw that a couple girls had walked in. Thankfully he saw Chase going up to them .. he’d take care of it. Because Quinn couldn’t. He couldn’t take his mind off his brother .. or his eyes. “Well come on brother. What are you waiting for?” Huxley said, holding his arms out wide. This time Quinn smirked. Then he crossed his arms… as if he were bored. That worked. The smile fell of Huxley’s face. Then he grinned again.. and sauntered up to Quinn in the ring. “You really don’t know do you?” He said. Quinn didn’t answer the question. He knew his brother was just trying to get to him. But then.. Hux caught him off guard. He punched Quinn in the stomach. How has he not seen that coming? Maybe Huxley had gotten to him m

Chapter 143

Emerson Em jumped up from her spot on the couch. “You have got to be kidding me…” she mumbled to herself. What the hell else was going to go wrong on this night!? Now she was clouded in darkness. She tried to move but stumbled, almost falling. She caught herself on the coffee table .. unfortunately with her bad hand. She let out a horrible sound.. somewhere between a scream and a squeal. Because fucking hell that hurt. She grasped her hand to her chest, tears coming to her eyes. She needed a flashlight. Em grabbed for her phone .. but of course .. it was dead. Where did her mom even keep flashlights? “Please come back on. Please come back on..” she spoke the mantra in her head over and over. That was it. She couldn’t do this anymore. She was going to do her best to find her keys and purse. She’d drive around in her car for the next few hours if she had to. But she was not staying there. Em felt around until she found her purse in the floor by the

Chapter 144

Em She was confused. Which seemed to be the ongoing emotion for the night. Em tilted her head at Evan .. the way Quinn often did at her. She stared at him and waited for him to explain what he meant. “I’ve been worried sick about you Em. Ever since .. well no even before that .. ever since you told me you wanted to cut off our contact with each other .. I’ve been extremely worried. But to be honest I’ve been worried sick since you left.” Evan said. “But .. why?” She asked. “Because. I don’t think your doing things that are going to be helpful in the long run. I am worried and afraid your going to go backwards. Even with that new therapist of yours .. she doesn’t seem like she’s helping you .. not in the right way.” She frowned at this. Sure at first Mara wasn’t the person Em wanted to speak to. She missed Evan and had rather talk to him. But Mara grew on her. And she had actually been a staple in Em getting over River and her past. “Actually .. I feel like Mara’s okay.

Chapter 145

Emerson “Update? From who?” She asked as she pretended to sip the bourbon. Evan was still knocking the drinks back. Maybe he would get drunk if she could keep feeding him the liquor. Then she could possibly sneak out and get away. Mentally .. she knew where her purse was. It had her keys in it. She had left it by the couch… or wait …. Was it in the kitchen? Shit! She didn’t know. Evan was smiling at her. But the look was anything but reassuring. It was instead making her nausea grow by then fold. “Em. Come on. You still haven’t figured it out? You haven’t put two and two together yet? I told you I had someone keeping tabs on you .. remember?” He asked. She racked her brain. She knew he wasn’t trying to say one of her friends had been spying on her… was he? No they wouldn’t do that. So who then?? She stared at him frowning .. trying to figure out who he meant. As he kept smiling. In fact .. his smile grew bigger snd bigger the longer they sat there. But then … all the

Chapter 146

Quinn Not five seconds after they’d sped out of the parking lot Quinn made Elias pull over so he could open the car door and throw up. He knew something was wrong. Something very bad. This had never happened before. And he trusted his gut and his sixth sense more than anything else. And those things were telling him he needed to get to Emerson. And fast. “Chase I need you to see if you can get Asher on the phone .. he’s probably dead asleep. But just try. And then try Grey. See if either one of them have talked to her.. after that we will try the girls.” Quinn said. “Okay ..” Chase agreed and started making phone calls in the back seat. Quinn felt Elias’s eyes on him And he looked up. He immediately wished he hadn’t. Because he saw the worry there. He made a split decision .. not knowing if it was a good one or not .. and not knowing if it would do more harm than good .. but he did it anyway. Quinn dialed the number .. and a moment later .. William answered the phone

Chapter 147

Emerson Her eyes blinked open slowly. Confusion swept over her. She couldn’t remember where she was or what was happening. At least for a minute. Her head and face were throbbing. Then.. she remembered everything. She’d been home alone. The power went out. The nightmare. The phone calls. Evan. In that exact moment .. she wondered if he had somehow set the timer on her phone .. had he been in the house before?? Phone. She needed a phone. She needed to call the police. But how?? Her phone was dead. She opened her eyes but dared not to move. At least until she knew where Evan was. It was still dark. The fire was still going though it needed more wood. She was on the floor in the living room and something was digging in her back. Her knife! She’d slipped it into the waist of her pants earlier. And then forgotten all about it. Em looked around without moving her head. She didn’t see Evan anywhere. She slowly started to turn her head and look around. T

Chapter 148

Quinn He’d hung up the phone with his dad so he could keep trying Em. Although he somehow knew he wouldn’t get through to her. He’d given his dad the very short version of what had happened. A quick rundown of the plan .. he told him he lied about the other town … he knew John would try to stop him from going through with the fight….. and that Huxley had been caught and what he’d told Quinn. Now he and Carol were packing their bags and looking for flights home. He wanted to be able to tell them to wait. He didn’t know for sure if his brother was telling the truth or not. But in his gut. He knew. In his heart .. he could feel it. Something was wrong. Very very wrong. They were almost there. Just a little further. After he’d hung up with his brother Elias had stepped on the gas even harder than he was previously. It was a wonder they hadn’t been pulled over .. but the hazard lights were on so maybe that’s why. He didn’t much think about it. His brain didn’t have room for

Chapter 149

Quinn He only barely heard the words Dany was saying to Chase. Evan … he heard that word. So Hux had been telling the truth after all. She had said something about seeing Emerson at target and written her number down. Then there was something else about Em’s phone going dead .. and she was using an old one. He didn’t hear the rest of that part. But it was easy to figure out.. no one’s contacts were in the old phone so she couldn’t call him or her mom. Who knew people’s numbers by heart these days? He certainly didn’t. Although.. if they made it out of this alive.. he was gonna learn. Dany said Em had called the police. That was the one and only good thing she’d said in the whole conversation. In some ways .. he guessed it was fate that Dany had seen her and given Em her phone number. She’d had it in her pocket still and that’s how she was able to call. Talk about a weird ass turn of events.. The one person Emerson called for help was probably the last person in th

Chapter 150

Quinn They made it into the living room where the staircase was. Quinn nodded over to Chase .. who nodded back then made his way quietly up the stairs. Before he made it too far Quinn grabbed his arm, halting him. He reached into his waistband and grabbed the gun, handing it to Chase. Chase frowned at him questioningly. Quinn reached for the wrench that his friend was holding .. signaling to trade. He had Elias with him. But if Chase ran into Evan upstairs by himself .. he wanted his friend to be protected. Chase understood.. and shook his head. But Quinn gave him a look. He couldn’t let him go alone .. not without the gun. Right now they didn’t hear a thing. And he had no clue where this asshole was. But his nerves were sparking all over this place. And he needed to at least not worry about Chase while he and Elias were downstairs. Chase reluctantly agreed and handed the wrench to Quinn. He took the gun and headed up the stairs. There was the faintest light in the liv
