Bought by Priest Chapter 7 - The puppet?
Chapter 7Rowan PriestPOVI’ve always known life was full of unforeseen events, life would take you places you’ve never imagined possible. Like if you told me a year ago, I’d be happily married with a baby on the way I would have thought you were pulling my leg. I probably shot you in the head for messing with me. But here I was happily married ready to preach the gospel to everyone who would listen about how happy I am.Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever been this this happy in my entire life. Grace is spending the day with my mother today. They’re going baby shopping.They’re shopping for baby clothes. I’m sure it’s my mother’s way of trying to find out the gender and knowing my wife my mother’s going to know in the first five seconds.I smile just thinking about it. She’s going to feel so bad for caving so soon. But I know Grace well enough to know we weren’t going to be able to keep it a secret from our family for very long.After the shooting two weeks ago, Grace has been in stat

Chapter 8One week laterDamien PriestPOVI run my fingers through my hair and look at Amara and Grace go on and on about this new hair shampoo they’re using. To be honest I don’t see the difference they’re speaking about.We’re having lunch at my apartment. apparently, we’re celebrating Amara getting a job. I didn’t even know she was job hunting. Though we’re not close enough to be called a married couple. We do our best to avoid one another when we’re alone.I look over at Rowan, he’s not paying attention to what they’re saying but his watching his wife lovingly. Should I be doing the same? Should I look at Amara like she hung the stars and the moon?If I’m being completely honest with myself, I don’t think I’ve seen my brother this happy ever. Not even with that witch who shall not be named. She got what she deserved, and her death isn’t on anyone but herself. Run my fingers through my hair once more. Rowan looks over me and nods toward my office.I stand and make my way over to

Chapter 9Damien PriestPOVGunner is one of my best friends. Well, we’re not really friends, but we work well together. He’s like my work friend. It’s worrying me that a man glued to his phone is not answering it. He’s either got a girl over or somethings happened to him.While Rowan and I file into the car and leave the girls with their guards, the drive in the car with Andre still feels awkward. I haven’t gotten over the shit Angie did. Andre isn’t at fault; I just feel bad that his entire family had to die because of her. Her parents died because of her.I get why Andre didn’t mourn her; she was pure evil.I look over at my brother typing away on his phone. “Dad’s on his way over to your apartment to watch over the girls.” Rowan says.I nod. When we reach Gunner’s apartment. I frown. I didn’t know he stayed in Brooklyn.I walk after my brother. I may be paranoid, but it feels like someone is watching us. I pause and look around.I don’t see anything and walk in after my brother.“

Chapter 10Amara PriestPOVI feel like sheep being led by the Shepard. Grace and I were led out of the house with at least one hundred men guarding us from what I don’t know… But Austin protecting us means something’s happened.Something must have happened and the little head they received must have been a warning for more to come.Grace and I are sitting in her old room. She’s watching tv. I would love nothing more than to watch it with my older sister. I love soaking in all the moments we didn’t get as kids. But right now. I want nothing more than to be involved in whatever is happening.One thing I hate more than anything is being left out and I’m sure this will be a way to protect Grace as well.I am thinking about the deadline Rowan gave me; I should book a meeting with my parents. They’re back in Chicago. I don’t know how safe it’s for them to travel, so I should probably do this over video call.“Do you think I could borrow your laptop to call my parents?” I ask her.She nods.

I don’t know why yet, she told me to get the job first then she’ll let me know what my job is. So, I’m trying to do as much research as I possibly can.I hated the idea of going in blindly. I did as much research on the owner and news reports, but I found nothing. Is this some sort of test maybe?My phone rings, I look up from my laptop and see Damien’s name flash across the screen.“Uhm did you mean to call me?” I answer the call still surprised he called me; I honestly think accidentally called me.After all the shit that’s going on we’ve barely spoken two words to each other. Honestly, it wasn’t what I was expecting when we first got married. I thought we’d argue every chance we got, but with everything going on we barely have time for one another. Yet alone argue.We’ve been married for so long I don’t know a single thing about my husband
