All Chapters of Wrong Intentions: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

EverettHugo and I are on the way to pay a visit to Aubrey’s ex. Hugo found his address.“Everett, I know you are angry and a part of you wants to kill him, but I need you to keep yourself calm the best you can, okay? The last thing Aubrey or anyone ones is for you to lose it and end up arrested.” Hugo says from the driver’s seat.“I can promise to try.” I don’t know how I will react when I see him. Something may snap in me. I hate nothing more than a man who thinks it is okay to abuse any woman or child.Hugo sighs and nods, knowing there is no point in talking to me. He is probably regretting bringing me with him. He pulls up outside a row of apartment buildings. How does he plan to get inside?“Please try and keep your cool, Everett,” he repeats as we climb out.He tries the entrance to the building, and luckily, it is open. I follow his lead up to the second floor, where the bastard’s apartment is. I clench my fists, trying to control the anger coursing through me.We come to a st

EverettI didn’t have a call to make. Aubrey probably knows that. I should have asked. She would be better with Erica, Hugo, the kids and the dogs. At least there, she won’t have to worry about me changing like the damn weather around her. My behaviour must be confusing her. I stopped seeing her because we were spending too much time with one another, now I am inviting her to stay for as long as she needs. I need to stop and stick to one thing.Sighing, I pour a single scotch and swallow it down all at once. I am tempted for a second one, but I won’t. It is still only early afternoon. I have no need to get wasted at this time of the day to stop myself from thinking. I disappear to my office, hiding out. I rest back on my office chair, running my fingers through my hair. It wasn’t supposed to be like this. Aubrey was supposed to be another conquest, nothing more, nothing less. How did I end up here? Yes, my anger when I found out stems from my childhood, but it is more than that. The t

EverettWe walk in silence. An awkward silence. How did we become like this? You would think we were strangers who had only met, and it couldn’t be further from the truth. Aubrey is in a little world of her own. She isn’t watching where she is going, not really. It is why I am keeping a close eye on her. It is a good thing because the next thing she trips over something and nearly face plants to the floor. I grab her quickly from behind, pull her up straight and bring her back against my chest, slipping my arm around the front of her body.“Easy, sweetness,” I whisper in her ear.Aubrey shudders, and a soft moan escapes from her lips.“Thank you.”I turn her to face me, her arms automatically going around my neck. “You ned to be more careful.”Aubrey doesn’t say anything. She stares at me. I swallow hard. It is an intense stare and is doing strange things to me. The beat of my heart quickens, and butterflies gather in my stomach.“Why do you always seem to be around to save me, Everet

EverettI head back inside the café. The guy I punched scurried out like the coward he is. It would have scared Aubrey, especially with everything she has been through. I grab my things from the table.“Where are you going?” Chelsea, my date, snaps, glaring at me.“To make sure she is okay.”“Are you serious? You are supposed to be out with me, and you are going to run after another woman? Who even is she?”“Yes, I am serious. I just met you. I have known her longer. She is a friend.”“If you walk out right now, there won’t be another chance.” She says with a smug look on her face.Does she honestly think that is going to make me stay? I don’t take ultimatums well.I laugh loudly. “Then it looks like we won’t be seeing one another again. I don’t need a woman who throws threats at me. I can have any woman I want; you aren’t special.”Her mouth falls open, and she huffs. I shake my head and rush out, heading straight for Aubrey’s place. Hopefully, she will let me in. I need to know she

EverettI had left Aubrey to sleep. I didn't sleep much after she woke me up. I checked outside a few times to see if Benji was there. He wasn't. I don't know if he ever was or if it was someone else, but there was obviously someone to freak Aubrey out as much as it did. I may need to pay Benji another visit, alone this time. Hugo won't be there to stop me. It probably wouldn't be a good idea, but if I see Aubrey fearful in such a way again, none of that will matter. I will be going.I have got breakfast on to cook. I take my cell and call Hugo to let him know what happened. It rings only a couple of times before he answers."Good morning, big brother.""Morning. I have something to tell you. I stayed with Aubrey last night.""What? Why? What are you doing at her place?"I should have worded it better. I explain what happened, starting from the café until Aubrey woke me up. I left the part out about being in bed with her."But you don't know for sure if it was him?""No, I couldn't se
