72 - Meet The Parents
Last Updated:
2021-04-17 01:20:16I was up the next morning, laying around, thinking about my redhead when I got a text from Eve. She said she was getting breakfast and to come over in a bit. I was glad to see she didn’t hate me, but I still desperately wondered how the hell Derek never told her about his family or how she never saw a single picture.
I rolled over to their room and Eve greeted me, she seemed in a good mood so I just went with it, knowing full well you don’t question a woman when she’s happy. I wasn’t going to do anything to take the smile off her face.
We were sitting and starting to eat when Derek said, “all right little girl, what is churning in that head of yours.”
I suppressed a snort because Eve blushed. I called Beth my little Beth, but I would probably totally embarrass her if I did

~Beth’s Point of View~Lunch was as embarrassing as ALL get out, but maybe some of that was my fault. I had told my parents some about Heath and that he worked with Eve’s fiance, but I didn’t tell them a lot. I realized there was still a lot I didn’t know, and that he didn’t know. Everything was still very fresh and new. I had grown up with my ex Jeremy, he was an open book. We knew everything about each other and maybe that’s why everyone just assumed we’d always be together. Him cheating on me was the best damn thing that could've happened. It was a means to an end and good lord, if somebody else wanted his sorry ass, they were welcome to him.I now had what I considered to be the hottest guy under the sun. He begged for my time, he hung on my every word and

~Heath’s Point of View~After berading my home decor choices, Beth and I fucked like rabbits for a few hours before she finally passed out. I held her, just thinking of all the long nights I laid here alone, dreaming of finding her, dreaming that one day, one day I would finally have my little redhead. I was done waiting, I wanted to ask her to be my girlfriend, officially. I wanted her to know I was serious. I mean, I was already taking her shopping tomorrow to let her completely gut my house. I wanted her to make it her own, then hopefully she’d want to stay here. The thought of it made me hard, although thinking about her in any fucking capacity made me hard. She belonged here, with me, in my arms and in our bed. Our bed … I loved that.

I had gotten us a limo, since of course this was Vegas. Beth was grinning and staring at everything, wanting to touch everything. We had champagne in the car and she accidentally snorted some up her nose. I almost died laughing. I definitely would never have gotten all this with any of the stuck up women I’d dated before. I’d already ordered our meal so it would be ready when we arrived, we only had about 45 minutes to eat before the show started. Beth ordered a margarita, not really knowing too many different drinks and not liking wine. When they brought it out she looked at me confused.“I think they brought me the wrong thing, isn’t it supposed to be frozen?” I laughed, “some places do it frozen but a classic margarita isn’

The next morning there was a knock at the door and I was super pissed. I was so hungover I just wanted to sleep with my little redhead. I knew Derek and Eve had flown back east so I wondered who the fuck was bothering me. Beth didn’t even stir, so I got up and threw on some shorts. I opened the door to find Haven, and I wondered how she knew where I was. “Hey hey, best man, rise and shine,” she said pushing her way in. “Fuck Haven it’s early,” I whined.It was hard to look at Haven sometimes, she had huge tits and they were always pushed up and popping out.“It’s not early, it’s almost noon! Marcus and I are planning bachelor and bachelorette parties, everyone will be o

I made my way to Derek’s room and as I suspected he didn’t want to go out. It took a ten minute pep talk from Haven and I both before he finally agreed. We first went to a normal club that was full of some serious hot chicks, like dangerously hot. We all had a few drinks before we moved on to the strip club. It was just as I suspected a Vegas strip club to be and since Haven picked the place out, it was very high end. I handed out some stacks of cash to the group but a couple guys came prepared themselves, making me smile. Things got popping and everyone was enjoying themselves, except Derek. He kept looking at his phone and I knew damn well that Eve didn’t have her phone on her so unless she was texting Marcus, he was probably just getting more pissed he d

Well nobody won the bet about when Helen would call Derek, she waited until Monday afternoon, and nobody thought she’d hold out that long. We all decided we had to head back in the morning, and that the takeover would have to be next week. Helen would already be squirming and if she tried to reach out to Edwin, she would get nowhere. He was off in the Caribbean, celebrating his freedom. I told Beth I might not be too available over the next few days, we agreed it was best she head home and try to dump her moving on her parents. She took a flight home, I wanted her to take the jet but she said it was too much just for her to take on her own. I made her accept a first class ticket though, I wanted her to be comfortable. It was impossible to say good-bye, but really I was going to be balls to the wall for a fe

~Beth’s Point of View~Heath said I didn’t really have a reason to go to the board meeting tomorrow, and I had to stay behind with the others that weren’t going. I wasn’t happy about it but I knew he had a point. I’d just be standing there like an idiot, gawking anyhow.I was sitting in the office at the mansion, with some of his group that didn't go when the big projector screen came to life and it was of the conference room at Maxwell. The others in the room began to cheer.Derek got on camera and said, “we’re in guys, and they’re … behind bars!” Everyone erupted in cheers and I just watched Heath, he was on a laptop working. I wanted to call out to him, but I could tell he was busy

~Heath’s Point of View~I had never been extremely close with my dad, he worked very long days and nights when I was little, basically busting it to make his cattle ranch profitable, to make it his dream.I was close with my mom and my siblings but since joining the army and traveling the world ... then coming to work for Derek that all kind of fizzled out.I did always regret not being around more, in the last few years I’d gone home once a year, but by the end of a week I was ready to leave. We'd all always pick up where we last left off, and get along but after a few days we usually had enough.Montana was never going to be for me and I was on edge wondering now if my mom would ask me to move home.

She loves me and she’s giving me a baby.I couldn’t even wrap my head around it all still, and I just knew I’d cry at the wedding. I hated that my dad couldn’t be here, but it meant everything to me that we could speed things along for my mom’s sake.I’d had dinner sent to Liz’s room, Chinese food to honor our first night together.

~Beth’s Point of View~I had started wondering when we might all go back home, but everyone seemed to be happy out here and I didn’t want to rock the boat or seem as if I didn’t like it. Heath really liked being able to see his family, and I did greatly enjoy his mom.There had been a couple times I caught everybody whispering like, hushed voices. They’d shut right up and move on once they saw me. I just thought it was stuff about Miss Reba, but I was starting to get annoyed.Heath better never keep stuff from me, and if he did, I’d punch him in the nuts!Heath’s sisters went on and on at dinner one night about some spa in town, and I didn’t care for that stuff. But as they went on I started to reckon that a m

~Eve’s Point of View~We had been out at the Jackson ranch through Christmas, and it was certainly a much more different Christmas than I would have imagined a month ago.I also wasn't thrilled to have my ankle in a cast but I was dealing with it. There was still total radio silence on Haven and her brother, but Derek still had everyone possible trying to track them down.At last count, his hackers were able to recover about $39 million of the ransom, which we all thought was pretty remarkable.It was great to meet Heath’s family, and they were the distraction that I think we all needed. They knew nothing about what had happened to Beth and I, and I was so glad for it. Being around our group would have given me nothing but sad, pitiful faces.

~Beth’s Point of View~“Ugh my momma keeps callin’, lemme see what she wants,” I said to Heath.I ran out of the hospital waiting room and into a stairwell.“Hey momma,” I said, answering the phone.“Bethany I have only talked to you twice in the past month, and now you’re onto only texting me all the time. Explain yourself young lady,” she said.Oh shit.“Well I did text you at least,” I said, lying.Heath had texted her from my phone since it was recovered when they found the car we were abducted in.I h
In The Dark 87 - She's Here
The cops were trying to get ahold of the landlord to ask about breaking out a wall or taking up the floor and I didn’t give a fuck about all that. I’d buy him a new goddamn building if wasn’t in on the scheme.About four hours went by and I was seriously losing any ounce of patience I had left.Heath had me on speakerphone in his pocket so I could roughly hear what was being said inside.I heard a guy in the crowd yell that he was the landlord and I immediately rushed him but Mick held me back.A cop went at him, “sir we believe there is a kidnapping victim being held here, is there a basement or a false wall anywhere?”“What, someone was kidnapped? You think they are here?”
In The Dark 86 - Shock
~Derek’s Point of View~It had now been nearly two days since Beth was released and I was really close to losing my shit. There was just nothing more we could do, we were totally helpless.The kidnappers had been more than careful and if I hadn’t been so insaney furious I might have admired their work. They had to have slipped up at some point, we just had to catch a break.It was extremely illegal but Mick was running the photo we got of the driver from a street camera through the DMV. It was the middle of the night and everyone was half asleep or actually asleep.Heath and Beth had been holed up in his place and I didn’t want to bother them, not that I had any news.I was in the kitchen
In The Dark 85 - A Woman?
*Warning, this chapter depicts an assault*~Eve’s Point of View~I guessed it to be about a day since they snatched Beth away from me. The whole speech I gave at first about us having a united front and not showing we were scared was pretty much going out the window.I didn’t know what the hell Derek was doing, did he not give them all the money? I had no clue. Since they took Beth nobody has come back. I don’t have much food left and I’m starting to have to fill up my water bottles in the sink.Maybe they’ll just leave me here to starve, I thought.No, they said they wanted me, they have to want me for something … sex? I mean they hadn’t so far t
In The Dark 84 - They're Pissed
~Derek’s Point of View~Our hackers were working non-stop to trace the money we already sent. As soon as it hit the bank it went to three other accounts and so on. It seemed like they were just trying to put it through so many places to keep it from being traced but we weren’t giving up.We had the FBI and different forensics teams monitoring the video they made the girls take, but we were getting nothing there.I was completely torn on whether or not to send the rest of the money … I didn’t care about the actual money of course but just the fact that I would be sending it with no guarantee of getting them.After some back and forth we went ahead and sent another 15 million, and decided to wait and see if they responded.
In The Dark 83 - No Secrets
~Heath’s Point of View~All I could think about was how scared the girls had to be. My poor little Beth, my innocent little Beth. She’s never even remotely experienced something like this. I had a Bronze Star, I’d been shot down behind enemy lines. I’d known hand to hand combat, I’d know the terror of a real fight.I never wanted her to have to know anything like that.Derek was in full on control freak mode. This was supposed to be my domain, security. But everything seemed to be moving around me in slow motion, I couldn’t focus.The FBI was able to track down the car and in it was a note with instructions. They wanted 50 million dollars wired over ten different bank accounts.
