Jack
I had a bad feeling and I couldn’t shake it. Julian found out about me having sex with Maya and he had driven off. I had tried to call him on his cell, but he was ignoring my calls. This was not good.
“Why are you pacing like that. Is something wrong?” Maya spoke.
MayaI was sitting on the couch trying to process the fact that Dax, Julian, and Jack were dead. I was staring into space before Ryan dropped another bomb on me. He was smiling that I thought maybe this was all a silly joke.“You… you want me to marry you?” I pointed at my chest.
Ryan“Don’t worry dear, I’m not beating you with the belt,” I spoke as she looked horrified and still not saying a word.The idea of asking Maya to marry me was spontaneous and genius. I wanted a good fuck after the shooting by the docks and I had retrieved Dax’s phone and saw calls and messages from her. I was looking for more information on the ri
MayaI was back, staring at the mirror this time cursing that monster Ryan. To say I hated him was a small fraction of how I felt about him. If I were a cartoon character, I would be red with horns and steam flaring from my ears. The bastard lied to me.I was naked, staring at my bruised body and a black eye, neck bruise and I refused to cry and give him the satisfaction of giving him
I have been imprisoned in this house for over a week and today was the engagement party where Ryan was going to announce the wedding date. The thought made me queasy and not to mention the endless abuse.“You look beautiful tonight,” Ryan skimmed his hand over my waist.“Thanks,” my voice cracked.
Ty“There you are, ” I turned, looking at my brother, “You know it’s rude to stalk someone’s bedroom.”“Not now, Tom. This is all your fault,” I pushed him on the wall whispering.
Maya“You did good,” I closed my eyes as he played with my breast whispering in my ear before biting my earlobe.Everyone had left and the house was less crowded. After my conversation with Ty, I had watched him come down the stairs and noticed he had bruised his knuckles. Tom tried to walk to him, but he shook his head in fury before walking out.
I was disappointed when we got in. I was looking at an empty room. I thought that he had my mother in this room and since he was being nice, I hoped I had a chance to see her again.“What is this place?” I finally spoke with disappointment in my eyes.“This is my safe place, ” he responded taking a moment to admire the place as if lost in thought.
After Ryan had shown me his scars, he has not laid a finger on me. I had relaxed a bit and gotten used to him. He worked late, but he was making time to have small talk with me. He was not there yet, but he was starting to see me as a person.Ryan came back from work early and told me that his father wanted to see us for dinner tonight. When he told me, I was sitting with the wedding planner making the final arrangements. He was busy to help that he had practically told me to figure all the plans out.
“I thought you were letting me go?” I adjusted my hand with Alex resting on my shoulder.“Yes, ” he smiled.I looked at him starting to get suspicious as I knitted my brows together. Part of me didn’t want to think, all that was a trick or show so he could laugh in my face before he took my children away from me.
Maya“Does it always take this long for them to sleep?” I looked up to see Ryan rubbing the back of his neck as he spoke, and I simply nodded.The twins were finally asleep again after a long day. The flight had been long and so much time had flown by when we got to the hotel late in the afternoon. It has been a couple of hours and I was exhausted, but I knew Ryan an
RyanJust like that Maya walked back to their room and I was left to figure out how to get them to move. I turned to look at them and she had been right the sight in front of me was adorable. My children were sitting on the floor Alex’s hands stuck in Ava’s hair and they were sharing the other candy.I had no idea there was such happiness in seeing
The twins were settled on their highchairs eating comfortably. The highchairs were easy to assemble luckily, and Ryan had helped in silence. I watched him work around the steps and he looked like a natural because Dax and I had taken time to set them up once.“All done,” he smiled as he watched the twins eat admiring them for a second.“If you have somewhere else to be, we can always
MayaI was a mother now and nothing was going to get in the way of me protecting my children, including their father. I had decided to come back and face my husband and fight back no matter the cost and luckily Dax had taught me a lot after I gave birth.My pregnancy was hard. Tiffany and Dax helped me in most of the cases because I was a mess. Tiffany arranged a therapist for me on o
RyanI thought I was dreaming because she was here and not only was she here she brought my kids with her. My heart was doing somersaults and getting back to the way it was all this time. I paused as I said their name Alex and Ava Steel in my head. It had a nice ring to it, and I was already designing their rooms in my head and they were going to be spoiled rotten.I pulled out
I felt as if I was flying with a smile on my face this time and I was at peace as if this was my ride to heaven, I was a happy passenger. “Mommy, mommy,” I heard a voice, but I refused to open my eyes.SMACK. My eyes flew open attentively this time startled by the wailing noise.“Hey, young lady, we don’t talk with fists. Now say sorry to your brother,” I looked at my dau
MayaIf someone had told me that Tiffany and I would form an alliance I would have laughed and thought it was absurd, but my life had been filled with a lot of crazy shit and pain so believe me when I finally agreed to let her help with the escape it was the best fucking allegiance that brought good memories ahead.“Have you completely lost your mind?” Dax asked as h
“Woah, easy,” I raised my hands, “You might want to put the gun down Maya,” I looked at her.“I said talk, ” she moved closer, and by the way she looked, she meant business.“Okay, my guys are outside so careful with your next move,” I took a step back, but my words made it worse because the gun was corked close to my chest and she was not shaking or hes
