Chapter 31Halle Wilder ~•~As I got into the car, my father handed me a towel, his expression soft. “You did a good thing by sending me your location. You are safe now.” I managed a small smile, I was freezing from the cold and was completely wet. After drying most parts of my body with the towel, he pulled me into a tight hug. For the first time in a while, I felt comfort. My father’s arms were warm, and I was so happy to see him. Most importantly, I was happy that I wasn’t standing in the rain anymore. I was almost tempted to get into Lucien’s car because the weather wasn’t nice. But I tried my best to be patient until my father came to pick me up. Lucien must’ve been so devastated when the car pulled up. I didn’t even turn around to look at him. I didn’t want him to make me second-guess my decision to leave with my father. Or make me feel more guilty for leaving him. “Do you want a blanket? Or a hoodie?” My father’s gentle voice dragged me out of my thoughts. As I snapped

Chapter 33Lucien Thorne ~•~“Grimm, is everyone okay?” I asked, letting out a frustrated sigh. “Yes. He didn’t do anything.” Grimm said with a relieved sigh. “Where are you now?” He asked with a hint of concern in his voice. “Don’t worry about me. Just take care of the pack.” Grimm gasped. “What the hell are you talking about? Aren’t you coming back? Are you still with the girl?” He asked. I shook my head even though he couldn’t see me. “I’m not with Halle. She left with her father.” My jaw clenched with suppressed rage as I remembered that she actually left with that man. “Finally,” Grimm responded with a relieved sigh. “At least everything can go back to normal now.” I scoffed. “Everything can’t be normal until Wilder pays for his crimes.” “Just come back, we will figure something out.” I let out a wistful sigh. “I’ll be back in a few days. Take care.” Grimm was about to say something else but I ended the call and turned off my phone. After a few seconds, I started the ca

Chapter 35Halle Wilder ~•~I didn’t even know what to think. Or do. I just stood there, staring at the bag. ‘Your father isn’t a good person, don’t let him manipulate you.’Lucien’s words replayed in my head. Was he right? Why did my father pretend like he had no idea what happened at the border? Meanwhile, my bag was in the house. How did it get to my room without his knowledge? Something wasn’t right. I took a step closer and lifted the bag. Everything was still intact. It must’ve been the driver who returned it. But even then, he must’ve told my father about the incident. I let out a deep breath, contemplating what to do. After thinking about it for a while, I decided to call Ivy. She was the only person I could think of contacting. I wanted to run everything by her first before doing anything else. I pulled out my phone from my pocket and dialed her number. Luckily enough, she answered on the first ring. “Halle, how are you?” “I’m back home,” I replied, my breathing u

Chapter 37Lucien Thorne ~•~After trying Halle’s number multiple times, she didn’t answer. I decided to leave her a text. Who knows what they might have done after finding out that someone bugged the office? I went over to the car and retrieved my burner phone. He answered the call on the first ring. “They know that someone bugged the office. And he’s willing to kill whoever the person is.” I said, panic creeping into my voice. “I hope that you are good.” “Sure.” He responded without hesitation. “No one can link it back to me. Don’t contact me again. Ever.” I let out a soft chuckle. “I won’t.” “That was what you said the last time. I hope you are for real this time around.” He replied, letting out a low grunt. “Don’t forget to send me my payment.” “I’ll send it.” With that, the call ended. I retrieved my actual phone and checked to see if Halle had returned my calls or texts. Anyone. But there was no notification from her. What the fuck was she doing? Or did they already

Chapter 39Lucien Thorne~•~“You literally told me you wouldn’t contact me again less than fifteen minutes ago.” He groaned as he answered the phone. I exhaled sharply. “I’m sorry, but I need one last thing.” “What is that?” “How’s the security like in the house? Do they have cameras? Do you think I can take down every one of them?” I asked, rubbing my temple. “There should be a total of five guys in the house. He doesn’t really have security in the house.” He replied, his voice low. “But please, stop calling me. I don’t want him to find out that I’ve been feeding you with information.” “I’ll try not to call you,” I replied. “But if they aren’t in the house, where else do you think he’ll take her?” I asked, hoping he would know. He was silent for a while. “I honestly have no idea.” Before I could even say anything else, the line disconnected. “Fuck!” I cursed through gritted teeth. I was already parked in front of Halle’s house. But I couldn’t just go inside because I didn’
