A/N: This chapter brings back a reference that was made earlier in the book, about Michael having a ‘’darker’’ side that the others don’t like. Just wanted to put in a little reminder here in case anyone has forgotten and this chapter doesn’t make sense. _____________________________________________________________ Chapter Eighty TwoMichael’s Point of View The sunlight invading the room was enough to wake me up. I squinted my eyes as I opened them, letting them adjust to the bright light and desperately trying to search for my phone at the same too. My hand found it and I pulled it to my face, checking the time. It was just after 9 am. Jesus Christ. I couldn’t even remember what happened last night. I looked around the room and realized I was in my own bedroom. I was laying on my bed, but still fully clothed. As soon as memories from last night started returning, an intense pain flared up in my head, making me groan. A hangover. An incredibly large and painful hangover. Ouc
Chapter Eighty ThreeLuke’s Point of View Arriving home, Peyton was sitting in the den, Cartoons on the TV, Jenson was in his bouncer and Kacey was on Pey’s lap, clapping along to the tv. I just stood there for afew minutes, watching. My perfect little family. They meant everything to me, and now that includes Jenson. I mean, it did before, of course, but now we’re just one step closer to it all being official. Things were moving so fast, but I guess that's for the best, given the current situation… and the mental state of Mike right now. After a few minutes though, Pey realized I was standing there and looked up, smiling. ‘Oh, Look, Kacey, it's daddy!’. She held the baby up to me and she instantly started making happy gurgling noises. I took her from Peyton and held her close, placing a kiss on her head. ‘You were gone before I got up’. ‘Yeah, I know, but I looked in on the kids’. She smiled. ‘I know you would have... Where did you go?’ ‘To see Mike’. Her smile faded a little
Chapter Eighty Four Luke’s Point of View Rushing downstairs with Kacey, I had to get to the house and speak to the others. NOW. Clearly hearing me coming, Peyton was already standing, arms folded waiting for me. I practically ran into the room and passed the baby to her mother. Instantly seeing my reaction, her’s changed too; ‘Luke, what’s wrong?’ I didn’t answer her, I just grabbed my jacket and headed to the front door again. A Few moments later, Peyton was following me. She didn’t have Kacey with her, and reached out for my arm, stopping me. ‘Hey! Talk to me’. ‘I don’t have time, there's a gang emergency’. ‘Gang emergency?!’ She snapped, clearly both angry and offended at my secret keeping. It's best she doesn’t know. ‘Please, I’ll explain what I can later’. I went to leave, but again she stopped me. I could feel myself starting to get agitated with her, but I needed to calm down and remember I wasn’t mad at her. ‘No, Explain now’. I turned to look at her and sighed.
Authors Note: This chapter contains some detailed chapters of murder/torture and a mention of s*xual Assault that is not described but is mentioned so skip over it if you don’t want to read that sort of thing, although you’re probably reading the wrong book if you’re triggered by anything like that. Just remember this is all just FICTION. Happy reading :) There are many more chapters to come! ------------------------------------------------------ Chapter Eighty Five Michael’s Point of View I stood in an alleyway, not even hidden, but this was a bad part of town. Even in broad daylight something terrible could happen in front of witnesses and no one cared enough to help, call the police or even look twice. Perfect place for someone like me to roam….But also, it meant that victims were few and far between. Never mind, I was a patient man on a mission, I could wait. …and I did. For a long time, but when it looked like I was out of luck.. my luck suddenly changed; ‘..I think
Chapter Eighty Six Michael’s Point of View Leaving the body on the table in the ‘’work room’’ as we all called it, I headed back to the living room, picking up the scraps of her ripped clothing before sitting down. Throwing the ruined material on the coffee table, I could suddenly feel the sleepless night creeping in. I pulled out my phone and shot Damon a text message, asking if he was able to come and pick me up from the cabin. I wanted to get home, shower and sleep but I didn’t trust myself to get behind the wheel right now. I didn’t trust that I wouldn’t crash… and a crash would bring Police. No thanks! While I waited for him to respond, I got thinking… She had a phone. She was on it when I heard her in the street. Where was it? I couldn’t risk it being tracked or something when people realize she’s missing which... If she had a husband and children as she claimed, they would have already. I got up and headed out to the car. She had it when I took her but she certainly
A/N Sorry for the late chapter and I’m sorry it's a short one, just been hella busy the past few days. More to come in afew hours :) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapter Eighty Seven **Afew weeks later** Luke’s Point of ViewQuite a bit of time has passed and things were only getting worse. Michael was just completely off the rails. I thought things were bad before (They were) but they are MUCH worse now. I think even Damon is starting to realize just how bad he’s lost control of himself, his impulses, and literally everything. It's just.. Insane. HE’S insane. If it wouldn’t come back to bite me on the ass, given my not so legal history, I would actually shop him to the cops for the crap he’s doing, at least behind bars he wouldn’t be able to hurt anyone anymore... And it wouldn’t even be for the women he’s killing so frequently, dangerously frequently, it's because he’s scaring me, he’s scaring my family, and he’s scaring the guys.
Author's Note: So anyone wondering, a lot of the chapters are in Luke’s Point of view because then you get an insight about how the people around Mike are being affected by his actions, it will all make sense soon. Also, I’m sorry if this chapter was a little slow/boring, the next one will be better. I had this whole chapter written (it was longer) but my computer crashed and I lost the whole thing, So I just wrote what I could remember so I could get an upload posted. Sorry again, but more to come. ______________________________________________________Chapter Eighty EightLuke’s Point of View I made the short walk down from my house to the other one. It was both convenient and seemingly now bad, that they lived so close. Maybe if they didn’t Peyton wouldn’t have had to go away.. ..Who am I kidding, they still wouldn’t have been safe in LA. I shook the thought away and walked into the house, greeting the guys, minus Mike and Joey, who were sitting down in the living room. ‘Hey,
Chapter Eighty Nine Luke’s Point of View I stayed a little while longer and spoke to Thomas and Joey about everything and they were in complete and utter agreement with me. Mike needs to go before he brings any unwanted Police attention to any of us. If he was happy with causing trouble and catching a Police investigation, then that's his choice. Not ours. ‘You need to be careful too. You can’t have him at your Cabin anymore either’. Joey told Tom, and he just nodded, ‘Like I have to head back to Texas soon and make sure there's absolutely nothing around the property that can bring attention to me’. Shit, yeah, I didn’t think about that. Alot of crimes have been committed on Joey’s properties too… again, by all of us so that once again brings the light onto us too. It’s all just way too fucking risky! ‘You know, all the girls he’s killed have amazing similarities to Ella, That could be a problem if the Police cotton on. It ties them all together, god knows how many Victims
Chapter One Hundred and Seventeen -- Final Chapter! ** Jenson’s First Birthday **Michael’s Point of View Maybe throwing a big family party and having family come in from out of town wasn’t the best idea, considering we hadn’t long moved into our house, but how many times do your children turn one? Today was a special day and while it would be ALOT of hard work, it would definitely be worth it. I was in the kitchen making breakfast while Ella was up in the shower. ‘Do you want some toast?’ I asked my very happy birthday boy. He looked up at me and beamed a smile, nodding before he continued playing with his toys on the floor. Another thing I loved about this house was the large open plan kitchen, it meant we could cook food while Jenson played in his toy room, which, technically was the dining room, but it worked so, meh! I quickly made him his food and went over to put it on his tray before going back to cooking the bacon for mine and Ella’s sandwiches. As I was finishing them
Warning: This chapter contains some detailed sexual content. Also, after this chapter, there is only one left but there is a bit of a time jump. Enjoy! ___________________________________________________Chapter One Hundred and Sixteen Dinner was absolutely lovely and now we were all just sitting around, chatting about anything and everything. Jenson was sleeping in Mike’s arms, and Kacey was in Luke’s. Me and Peyton were having a glass of mine. It was really nice to just sit and relax with them. ‘So, how hungover did you get in Vegas then?’ She asked. I couldn’t help but laugh, ‘Oh, THAT hung over, huh?’ I nodded. ‘You have absolutely NO idea’. We shared another laugh, which caused Kacey to sturr. ‘Why don’t you take the kids upstairs to bed?’ Peyton suggested. ‘Oh, I’m sorry, would you like us to head home, give you some time to chill out, just yourselves?’ I suggested it, but she shook her head. ‘No, No honestly, it's fine. We have the cot still set up for Jenson, so no har
Chapter One Hundred and Fifteen Ella's Point of ViewThe rest of the day crawled by but honestly, I was so annoyed now I just didn't care. Peyton had really gotten under my skin with her selfish comments. She just couldn’t be happy for me because I had something first... For once in our lives. Absolutely ridiculous. Mike poked his head around the door to look at me. I had decided to just come into the lounge and relax with a book. Jenson was on the floor in front of me, happily playing. ‘Hey, I'm gonna take Jenson to the park, do you want to come?’ I looked out the window, it was looking a little gloomy. ‘Is that a good idea? It looks like it's going to rain’. He just smiled and walked over to the baby, picking him up. ‘If it rains, we will come home, Come on, be fun’. I just shrugged. ‘I’m just not really feeling it, baby, Why don't you take him?’ He frowned but just shrugged, mumbling a ‘’fine’’ and walked out of the room. I sat there for a moment, suddenly feeling guilty. Sig
Chapter One Hundred and Fourteen Ella’s Point of View We were on the road home, our weekend away was over, but it was without a doubt the best time I've ever had, obviously not counting times I spent with Jenson. We were about 2 hours from home, but we were making good time. I looked down at my hands, playing with my wedding ring. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous about sharing our news with the family. Mike noticed me messing with it and reached over to take my hand. ‘Don’t worry, I’m sure it will be fine, and like I said, we will just have a big party to celebrate’. I sighed and nodded. ‘I know, You’re right, you’re right’. I smiled, not wanting to sour the mood or the feeling of Love in the air between the two of us. ‘I can’t wait to get home and see Jenson’. I smiled again. I loved hearing Mike gush over our son, it was the cutest thing ever. ‘Me either!’. Mike focused back on the road while I started playing around with the stereo, and hooked it up to my phone to pla
Chapter One Hundred and Thirteen The trip was going great but it was going by so fast! Yesterday we explored and did some sightseeing, had an amazing lunch and dinner, went to the concert, stayed out late getting drunk and then stayed up most of the night making love in the hotel room. Today was a bit more chilled out. We slept in and cuddled, ordered room service and now... We were at the wedding chapel, waiting to get married! I was so nervous but so excited! Sure, I was a little sad that our family and friends weren’t with us but at the same time... I liked that. It was a lot more personal. A super special moment just between me and Mike, and we had already agreed that we were gonna throw a nice, big party once we got home and treat that as a sort of wedding reception. …I just hope Peyton and my parents aren’t mad at me for them not being included… It seemed to be an ongoing rotation. One couple went in, afew minutes later, they came out and another couple went in, and so on a
Note: This chapter contains detailed sexual content. ------------------------------------------------------ Chapter One Hundred and TwelveElla’s Point of View Walking down the strip after dinner, Mike had his arm wrapped over my shoulders, and mine was around his waist. It was night, so all the lights were on and it was beautiful. ‘I miss Jenson’. I blurted out, he squeezed my shoulder;‘Yeah, I do as well, but it's nice to have some alone time, isn’t it?’ I nodded, agreeing. Yeah, it really was. ‘So, do you want more kids in the future?’ His question caught me a little off guard, it was just so..out of the blue and random, but I couldn’t hide the smile that crept onto my face thinking about it. ‘Well, I mean… Do you?’ I stole a look up at him and he was smiling too. Well, that's a positive sign. ‘I do. I wanna have a million kids with you’. I couldn’t help but laugh, and he joined in, ‘Ok, maybe not a million, but maybe another one or two wouldn’t be so bad’. ‘Can you believe
Chapter One Hundred and Eleven*** A Few Months Later ***Ella’s Point of View‘Ok, are you super, super sure about this?’ I asked for what felt like the millionth time. I felt so guilty leaving Jenson at home while me and Mike went on a weekend trip away together, but I felt worse considering she was pregnant and they already had Kacey to look after, but she just rolled her eyes. ‘Mike, come and get my sister!’. She called over my head as he and Luke continued to pack the bags into the car. ‘Yes, they are super sure, stop worrying’. He called back, clearly already knowing what I was asking. Me and Pey shared a smile. Honestly, I was really looking forward to this weekend. We were only going a few hours away. There was a concert in Vegas that both me and Mike wanted to go to, and Peyton had offered to have Jenson so we could go. Plus.. we haven’t had any time to ourselves in a while and it would be nice to just.. Reconnect a little. Don’t get me wrong, things were perfect between u
Chapter One Hundred and TenElla’s Point of View The sounds of arguing woke me up from my deep sleep. I felt like I had been hit by a truck. Grabbing my phone, and squinting at the sudden bright light, I checked the time. It wasn’t even that late, I had only been asleep for about 2 hours, but it felt way, wayyy longer. I just laid there for afew moments, before I had to get up to go to the toilet. Typical, always when you’re the most comfortable… Once I was out of the bathroom, I headed downstairs, in search of the reason for the shouting. Noone really noticed me at first, and the argument seemed to be between Joey and Damon. Mike and Luke were sitting on the sofa with the kids, and Thomas was sitting on the arm chair, scrolling through his phone. The guys seemed to be arguing at a million words per minute so I had no idea what was actually going on; ‘Hey?..’ No one answered, ‘HEY!?’ I shouted louder, getting their attention. ‘What the hell is going on?!’ I swear sometimes it was
Chapter One Hundred and Nine Ella’s Point of View **A few Days later ** I laid down on the bed, feeling completely exhausted. I was able to come home from the hospital yesterday after only a day in. I just wanted to come back home and get settled and since the birth was relatively straight forward the Doctors had absolutely no issue with that, which was good. Peyton and Luke had been around a bit, but they knew when to go home and give us space. Same with Joey and Thomas, Damon however, had completely vanished. God knows what he was up to these days, he had been acting hella weird, but no one else seemed to have noticed… or they had and just weren’t mentioning it, and I didn’t feel it was my place to say anything. I closed my eyes, just feeling like I could sleep for a million years at this point, but I heard a chuckle and looked up, seeing Mike standing there holding the baby, smiling down at me. ‘See that, your mummy is so tired, shall we let her sleep? Shall we? Yeah, co
