Chapter 35
He walked over to her then and assessed her damage she was bleeding badly. He needed to apply pressure and stabilize it.
“We have to get you to the hospital.” Elayna said.
Nick picked the woman up then. She tried to protest but he wouldn't hear of it. She weighed a little more than Elayna.
They walked out of the back and into a lit alley. There he saw a limo waiting.
“That is Carlos. One of our drivers.”She coughed.
Nick let out a high pitched whistle to get his attention. It worked.
Carlos turned and looked in their direction.
He recognized her, even in Nick’s arms and ran over to them immediately.

“Look, Nick we are on the same side.” “That’s funny, you could have fooled me.” “What’s that supposed to mean?” “You know what it means Pete, my man. You've changed a hell of a lot. What the hell happened to you?” The question slipped out. “Sorry.” He wasn’t. There was a hard, long pause before Pete began talking. “Nick, leaving the military and becoming a Civilian was one of the hardest things I have ever done.” He admitted. “For a few years, after my release I felt like I would never find my place and belong, but I did. I met Mr. King. He offered me a job as security and I Took it.” “So how long did it take you to realize he was mistreating his wife?”

It was past midnight when he returned back to the room. He thought he would find Elayna asleep but she wasn’t. She was sitting in the middle of the large king sized bed watching the news. He heard a reporter talking about the shooting and how the Mayor's wife was in critical condition. She looked so vulnerable to him in the large bed. She looked in his direction then turned the television off. “You’re back!” She got off of the bed, stood up, and walked over to him. She hugged him tight. He inhaled her scent then. She smelled fresh like soap. He found himself enjoying her affection. She looked up of him them. “Are you alright? Is everything o.k?” He wanted to tell her ‘yes’ everything was alright, but he knew she d

Shortly after their lovemaking session they were getting dressed and Elayna decided she didn’t want to bring any of her belongings or her luggage. She looked at the clothing that had no doubt had been packed by her maid. She realized then the places she and Nick would be going to she would stick out like a sore thumb in satin and lace. She wanted to take full advantage of disappearing. She had forgot to get her secret stash of money hidden in the far back of her closet. She had always thought she would be able to use it for her escape. She also decided to leave her purse with everything inside of it. She hoped Bradley would never find them. She was tired of him and his wicked ways. She would finally be free of him. She would get to start all over again and nothing would stop her from her happiness. Not even Bradley himself… PART 2

Bradley wasn’t finished with Elayna until dawn. She had just fallen asleep when Rosa walked into Bradley’s bedroom with a silver breakfast tray. She placed it on Bradley’s empty side of the bed. Then went to the task of opening the curtains. The bright sunlight invaded the space, and Elayna awoke to the light. For a split second she forgot where she was, then her mind adjusted and she knew she was back in hell. She was home. “Good morning, Mrs. King. Breakfast.” Rosa said as she sat the tray down in front of her. “Thank you.” She said as she sat up and carefully slid the tray in her direction as Rosa quickly left the room. She took the top off of her plate. It was full of fresh fruit and a couple of strips of bacon. She was reminded of Nick waking her up every

“Where are we going?” She asked. “First, to the salon. I’m sure Nick loved you with this trashy, bleach blonde short hair, but as my wife, I prefer your long, raven black hair.” He was jealous and hurt, and she couldn’t understand his logic. She didn’t tell him that she dyed it blonde so she couldn't be found. She just smiled and agreed. “I think that would be a great idea.” They went to a upscale hair salon called The Hair Company. Bradley did all the talking while she sat in the salon chair pretending the way they discussed her like she wasn't there didn’t bother her. An hour later Elayna’s locks were no longer above the shoulder or blonde, but back to the long

“How?” He asked. His eyes narrowing in on her. “She was shot in her leg and her stomach. I did what I could. Security found her driver and he helped us get out of there undetected.” She took a deep breath. She felt like she had said too much. “Ah,yes. A Carlos Mendoza.” The detective said, skimming through some notes on a yellow notepad that sat in front of him. “Yes. That's him.” She agreed. “So, what next?” He asked, after jotting some things down on his notepad. “We made it to the hospital. Mr. Mendoza gave me his jacket. He left. We left from there. I no longer felt safe in this area.” She said. Squeeze

Why did she pass out? She hadn't felt like she was exhausted. She had tried to get back into the normal groove of her old life. It felt like just maybe her old life no longer suited her. She changed into the white cotton gown and got back in the bed. She felt fine at the moment. Rosa had left and she heard her husbands footsteps along with someone else. The bedroom door opened and it was her Doctor and Bradley. He smiled at her. Seeing that she was awake he rushed over to her side. “Darling, I'm so glad you're awake. I’ve brought Dr. Thompson.” Dr. Katherine Thompson was 5’9, of a slender build, with long blonde hair that she wore in a bun. She had a kind face and a warm voice. Elayna felt silly seeing her here. She didn't think a doctor was necessa
Guarded Secrets Chapter 43
Nick had been drowning his sorrows in a bottle of whiskey inside of a bar somewhere near the rocky mountains in Colorado, ever since he had lost Elayna to her bastard of a husband three days ago. He felt like his life had no meaning left. She was his everything, and she was gone. The last couple of months had been the best days of his life. She had become everything to him in that short period of time. There had been no outside distractions, just them and the fiery passionate love they had for one another. It was as if they lived in a bubble. The forests had become their refuge and safe haven. They had stayed in tents, Teepees, and Yurts deep in the woods. At night they would gaze up at the sky and marvel at it richness, and during the day Elayna would have a firsthand view of the majesty and beauty of the wild life while Nick fished nearby. The sounds of the forest had become the background of their lives. It had made it seem ethereal and even more r
