All Chapters of Love & Fate Series: The Thrown Away Girl: Chapter 261 - Chapter 270

I get it. The dude is smart. But I'm smarter! I'll prove it to him too. I'll prove it to everyone. Once I pull this off, I'll show everyone who actually runs this gang. It sure as hell ain't Kurt Stewart.The thing is, Ian and Danny don't even see it. They just follow him blindly. They have been questioning my decisions and some of my other dealings, warning me that we probably shouldn't mess around with. That's why I have to open their eyes! I have to show them the error of their ways.The only way to do that is to put him in his place. And his place is beneath me and in jail. He needs to realize I've won and he should never have started messing with me. It was so subtle I almost didn't notice, but there were some orders he refused to follow. And then others noticed he wasn't doing what I ordered, and they followed his lead! What the hell does that make me if they won't treat me with the respect I deserve?Ian and Danny are distracted with the flood of flashing lights and sirens whil

Kurt's POVI look down at my phone and grind my teeth. I'm seething right now. What gives him the right to call me and accuse me of something he knows damn well I would never do. Everyone knows I wouldn't do it! Well, at least I thought everyone would know. The looks on Ian and Danny's faces hurt.I really don't blame them for being confused. After all they weren't there when the whole thing went down. I know they trusted me and Brax and didn't know who was telling the truth and who was lying.Honestly, if the cops came and they took both Braxton and me in for questioning, I would've been fine with it because then I could prove my innocence. However, they were only coming for me and I know that bastard is going to manipulate the cops into only coming for me.The nerve of that coward! How the hell is he planning to get away with this? Did he really think he was smarter than the cops? Did he not think that I would be more than willing to find the evidence they need and put it into their

I don't know if that is supposed to reassure me, but just the fact she said she will still be here when I get out sets me at ease. I have no idea if I'm being lulled into a false sense of security, but I'll take it for a moment.I nod my head and gave her a small smile. "Thanks," I choke out before entering the bathroom and closing the door. I just need a minute by myself to compose my emotions and come up with a plan.I sigh as I lean against the door. I have too many emotions swirling in my gut and my head. I can't deal with anything right now. I just want to go to sleep and wake up from this nightmare!I growl as I make my way to the shower and turn on the taps on full blast. Then I strip my blood soaked clothing and toss them to the ground. I have no idea what I'm going to do, I've got nothing to wear but this.I'll think about it later.I grab the new bar of soap and the sample shampoo and conditioner, knowing I need to clean off. At least I'll be able to get this damn blood off

With careful steps, she tiptoes to the bed and sits with enough distance between us to place an elephant. I really don't like this distance thing. I need her close to me. I need to be able to touch her! I sit on my hands in an effort not to reach out and grab her. That wouldn't do me any good."Roxie, we need to talk," I state. This whole talking thing is a lot harder to put into practice that I thought it would be. I had been playing my words over and over again in my head, trying to figure out what I can say to her that would make her believe me.Actually I've been imagining talking to her for so long, and none of it had anything to do with apologizing for being a jackass. All of it had to do with how much I love her and how I was going to protect her from everything that could hurt her."About what?" she whispers shyly. I watch as she tucks one of her legs beneath the other and the movement draws the fabric of her shirt higher on her thighs. My hands are itching to just toss the da

Roxie's POVTonight did not end up as I had planned. Actually, nothing in my life seems to go as I've planned them. Tonight I was only supposed to go shopping and bring the food home to mom and dad. I didn't even make it to the shop!I really wanted to go stay with Maggie, but dad threw a fit. He didn't hit me tonight, which is good, but he told me I spend too much time at school and not enough time at home taking care of what my parents need.I haven't told Maggie the whole story, she just thinks I like going between our apartment and Mom and dad's house. I didn't know how to tell her about the abuse, and if I don't do what is asked of me, I get punished worse.I went out to do exactly what he asked of me. But I had to stop and get gas, or I would've never made it. And then I got side tracked.Somehow I ended up snuggling my bully. His body is warm and strong. He smells good too. Not like he normally smells, just clean and manly. I've never cared what he smelled like before because i
