Semua Bab Step Too Far: Ruined By Him: Bab 201 - Bab 206

“He’ll call, Levi, you know he will,” Jagger says calmly and I know I should be too, but right now, with Renae unconscious in my arms, calm has gone out the window and fear has a grip of me. “Levi, you have her back, that is the main thing. She’s going to be okay.”My jaw clenches as my eyes close. I lean into Renae and inhale deeply, he’s right; I do have her back but I think he’s wrong, I don’t believe that she’s going to be okay. She was there when Lacey died, the dried blood on her top is a testament to how she tried to help her. If it were me and Jagger was killed, I’d go on a rampage, but this is Renae we’re talking about. She’s good and pure, nothing evil was meant to have touched her.Jagger’s cell rings and I wait with bated breath as he answers. “Jagger, get Renae to 128 Texas Street. A doctor will be there in minutes. She’ll make sure Renae is well looked after.”“On it,” Jagger responds as he glances in his side mirror and does a U-turn, the wheels spinning as he does so.

RenaeI wake up to hushed tones. Fear immediately grips me. I can’t open my eyes, I try but it’s to no avail. I don’t know who’s here. Is it him? Is he back? I inhale, but I don’t get the dirty waft that I had while I was in that room, instead, the scent of lavender and cleaning chemicals fill my nose. Where am I? Where’s Lacey? She’s not beside me anymore.“How is she?” That soft dulcet tone makes me feel at ease. “Her face looks bad.” The southern drawl he has takes a hardness to it.“The doc says she’s going to be okay.” Relief washes through me when I hear Levi’s voice. “But fuck, she’s been through a lot. I don’t know if she ever will be.”“She’s strong and she has you too,” Jagger tells him, it’s something that I love about Jagger, he always has something to say that’s uplifting.“She left, remember? She found out who I was and she ran.” The disappointment in his voice makes me want to cry. Lacey was right, I should have spoken to him first instead of running. I just didn’t know

LeviOne week LaterToday’s the day that Renae comes home. I’ve been in many a situation where my life has been on the line, yet I’m a nervous wreck right now, my heart is racing. Today could be the day the rat comes out to play. What a better way to get to ambush us, especially when I’m bringing my precious cargo home. I have men ready and waiting, I have a route mapped out. Only three people know the exact route; Me, Jagger, and my dad. Renae has told me that Jagger is not the man and I believe her. I knew deep in my gut that it wasn't him, I didn't think he’d have it in him. He's my best friend, the man has always had my back. I know that I hurt him by questioning his loyalty, I was an ass, my head was gone when Renae was taken and I wasn’t thinking clearly I know it and he knows it. I apologized and I gave him this mission, he knows that me giving him this means I trust him. Now all is well with us.Along the route I have men on each and every rooftop, I have men in cars parked on
