All Chapters of Midnight Sins: 30 Shades of Filthy Forbidden Desires : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

The wind howled through the trees.Rain tapped softly against the cabin windows. The forest was dark and silent. Every shadow looked alive.Inside the cabin, everyone was asleep.Belli lay beside Zack. His arm rested around her waist. His slow breathing usually made her feel safe.Tonight, it didn't.Her eyes suddenly opened.Her heart was racing.She sat up slowly and looked around the room.Everything was quiet.Too quiet.Zack felt her move. He opened his eyes."Belli?"She looked at him. "I don't know why... but something feels wrong."He sat up immediately."What do you mean?""I can't explain it." She hugged herself. "It feels like someone is watching us."Zack climbed out of bed. He pulled on his jeans and quietly picked up the pistol Sarah had left for him."Stay here," he whispered.He walked to the window and slowly pulled the curtain aside.Only darkness.The trees swayed in the wind.Nothing moved.Still...The uneasy feeling wouldn't leave him.Just then...Knock.Knock.

The cabin was chaos.Gunshots rang out. The loud bangs echoed in the small space. Wood splintered with sharp cracks. Glass shattered and scattered across the floor. The smell of gunpowder filled the air. It burned the nose.Zack fought like a wild man. His fists slammed into flesh with dull thuds. His breathing was heavy and ragged. Sweat dripped down his face. His knuckles were bloody. But he kept fighting.Belli held Emily tight. Her sister's blood soaked her shirt. It was warm and sticky. Belli's hands shook as she pressed against the wound. The metallic smell of blood was strong. "Stay with me," she begged. "Please."Emily's eyes were half-closed. Her breathing was weak and shallow. "I'm sorry... for everything.""Don't talk," Belli cried. Tears fell down her face. Her voice broke. "Just hold on."Sarah fired her shotgun. The loud blast filled the cabin. The kickback made her shoulder jerk. One of Marcus's men fell with a heavy thud.But Marcus stood up. His face was bloody. His e

The hospital room was quiet.The machines beeped softly.Belli sat beside Zack's bed. Her hand held his. His eyes were closed. The doctors had operated on him. The bullet had missed his heart. But he had lost a lot of blood.Belli's eyes were red from crying. She hadn't slept. She kept thinking about everything. The fight. The knife. Emily. Zack.The room smelled of medicine and clean sheets. The lights were dim. The window showed the dark night outside. Belli's body ached. Her arms were sore from holding Emily. Her heart still felt heavy.Emily was in the next room. The doctors said she would be okay. But she was still weak. She had lost blood too.A nurse came in. She checked Zack's machines. "He is stable," she said. "He needs rest."Belli nodded. "Thank you."The nurse left.Belli looked at Zack. Her fingers tightened around his hand. "You saved me," she whispered. "You always save me."Zack's eyes opened slowly. He looked at her. His voice was weak. "Are you okay?"Belli smiled t

The door handle moved againBelli held Zack's hand tightly.Emily picked up a metal chair and stood near the door.Nobody spoke.The handle stopped moving.Then there was a knock.Three slow knocks.Knock.Knock.Knock.Belli looked at Zack."What do we do?"Before Zack could answer, a voice came from outside."Hospital security! Open the door!"Emily did not move."How do we know it's really security?" she whispered.The lights were still red.The hallway was quiet again.The voice came back."Please open the door. We are checking every room."Belli slowly walked to the door.She looked through the small glass window.Two security guards were standing outside.She opened the door a little."Is everything okay?" she asked."We're not sure," one guard said. "Someone turned off the power for a few seconds.""Did you catch the person?"The guard shook his head."We're checking the cameras now."Belli thanked them.The guards walked away.Emily closed the door again."I don't like this,"

The safe house felt different that morning.The sun came through the windows.The forest looked peaceful.Belli stood by the door.She looked outside.Zack stood beside her.His hand touched her back.Emily sat on the couch.She looked better.The bandage on her shoulder was clean.The three of them had talked all night.They had a plan.They would leave today.They would go to the city.They would meet Sarah's contact.They would end this.Belli turned to Zack."Are you ready?"Zack nodded."I am."Emily stood up.She walked to them."I'm ready too."They packed their things.They ate a simple breakfast.The food tasted good.They felt strong.They got into the car.Zack drove.Belli sat beside him.Emily sat in the back.The road was quiet.The trees passed by.No one spoke for a long time.Then Emily broke the silence."I want to say something."Belli turned to her."What is it?"Emily looked at them."I am sorry for everything.""I was wrong.""I hurt you both."Zack looked at her
