All Chapters of After He Let Me Fall : Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

NYLAThe knock came a few minutes after Kael left.Courtney was on her feet before I fully processed what was happening. She grabbed my arm and pulled me toward the back of the room and I let her move me because the look on her face told me she had been in situations like this before and I hadn't.Three men came through the door.They weren't loud about it. They didn't shout or make demands. "Courtney." The man at the front of the room said her name the way people say things they've rehearsed. "He said you'd run.""I always run." Courtney stepped slightly in front of me, which I noticed and didn't appreciate but didn't fight right now. "You always catch up. We've done this before.""Then you know how it ends." He looked past her at me. "Miss Leclair. You're coming with us.""She's not going anywhere," Courtney said."That wasn't a request."I looked at the three men standing between us and the door and made a very quick calculation about the options available to me. They were not goo

MARISOL "Evans, you forgot my pills." I said it to an empty room because he had already left, which was how most of our evenings went now. He would check on me briefly, leave the pills and the water on the nightstand, make sure I had taken them and then disappear into another part of the house until I was asleep and he was certain I would stay that way. This time I didn't want to take the pills. I waited for twenty minutes thinking he would come back so we could talk. But he didn't. So I lay in the dark with my hands on my stomach and my baby pressing against my ribs and I stared at the ceiling and for the first time in weeks I stayed awake long enough to actually think. An hour passed and I was still completely awake, more awake than I had been in weeks, and something about that kept pulling at me in a way I couldn't ignore. Every night with those pills I was asleep within twenty minutes. One night without them and I was lying here at midnight with my eyes wide open and

JASON "What?" I yelled as I found out at six in the morning. A man named Theo who had worked security in Grimes' circle for years and had been quietly feeding me information for the past three months sent me a single voice note and said nothing else after it. I sat on the edge of my bed and listened to it twice. A woman named Courtney Hart. Shot inside a private residence on the east side. Connected to whatever happened last night between Kael, Nyla and Harlow. Theo didn't have all the details but he had enough and what he had was enough to make me sit there in the early morning and stare at the floor for a long time. I hadn't known Courtney personally. I knew the name from the pieces of conversations Grimes had been careful never to finish in front of me. I knew she was connected to Nyla's history, she was Nyla's birth mother. I knew she had been running from everything for a long time. What hit me had nothing to do with grief for a stranger. It was something else. It wa

NYLA A moan slid past my lips as Kael's lips pressed into mine. I tried to get a grip on myself, but it was hard, and almost impossible at this point. His lips moved over mine, and when his teeth grazed my bottom lip before biting down hard to draw blood, I felt my knees buckle."Hey, are you sure you want this?" Kael asked with worry. I nodded subtle. "Yes, I just need a distraction, please.""Okay," We kissed again, softer, then it got more intense.“Easy.” He murmured against my mouth, his hand coming up to my waist to steady me. His fingers dug into my skin, lighting me up immediately and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. He was being cocky, but I didn't care. Without thinking, I arched myself deeper into him, grinding my hips against his pelvis. “Yes, Nyla.” He hissed, his dick pressing against my thighs. “just like that.”“I can't take this anymore.” My hand went around his neck, before pulling at his scalp. “I want you,Kael. I want you now.” That must have lit up

NYLA The doctor's words rang in my ears for a full three seconds before my brain caught up to them. "I'm sorry," I said. "Can you say that again?" The doctor smiled patiently. "You're pregnant, Miss Leclair. Approximately three weeks based on the results." I looked at the clipboard in her hands like it had personally decided to ambush me in the morning. "Three weeks," I repeated. "Give or take a few days." She looked between me and Kael. "I'll give you both a moment." She set some paperwork on the edge of the bed. "A nurse will come by shortly and we'll want to schedule a proper prenatal appointment as soon as possible." She paused at the door. "Congratulations to you both." The door closed. I stared at it with complete silence. Nobody spoke for a long moment. Then Kael said, "Nyla." "Give me one second, please." "Take as many as you need." I sat there and tried to find a single organized thought inside everything happening in my head. There were none. Just
