“Shh,” Sandra insisted, hugging her shoulders. “We just need to stay quiet until we know what’s going on. Don’t make a sound and he won’t find us.”They stayed hidden behind the mattress as the stillness surrounded them. There were no sounds from the floor above them and it made her curious and worried. What if Creighton was there? What if he had found Silvano and Bachmeier? How was he to know where they were hiding?Two more gunshots sounded through the building’s stillness, followed by the angry voice of Bachmeier shouting for them again. Sandra jumped at the noise and sighed, thankful she hadn’t crept out to see what was going on as she was thinking of doing. The sounds of furniture being overturned, and doors being slammed shut echoed through the silence of the storage room. It was only a matter of time before he searched down here and found them. That much they knew for certain.Just as she began to wonder about her husband again, the door of the storage room opened and Sabrina
“Go around back and secure the perimeter,” Andrew told Morris and Tabor as two police cars pulled up the driveway, lights and sirens off, hiding them in the darkness of the shadows. “Where are they now?” he asked Creighton, who lingered behind the Suburban looking at his phone.“They went into the supply cupboard and haven’t come out.”“Where’s Bachmeier?”“He’s in the medieval room,” he said then frowned as the sounds of a gun went off, echoing through the silence of the quiet house.“Go, go, go,” Andrew waved his arm as Morris went one way toward the back with two police and Tabor went the other with another two, leaving the last two with Creighton and Andrew who quickly went up the front steps. Creighton glanced at his phone once more, watching as Bachmeier kicked the doors open to the guest rooms as he made his way toward the supply room then disappeared inside.“He’s found them,” Creighton said, fear and anger gripping his words. They hurried into the main door and moved cautio
“I knew my uncle was screwing the bitch, so I told Stone about it. After I was put on a plane back to Germany, I waited to make sure it was safe before I got off and went to Stone’s place. He told me she’d left him, so I decided to go check out my uncle’s place and sure enough, she was there. I watched him shag her. He did it so many times until he finally went to London, then I snuck in and tied her up. I took her back to her husband where she belonged. “We had quite a fun time with her, or at least I did. Her old man couldn’t get it up long enough to jerk off. He was so angry with her for leaving him that he strangled her. I didn’t know what to do with the body, so I figured if we buried it back at the farm, then my uncle would be indicated and he’d go to jail instead of us, but nobody ever found her. That’s when I decided to bury the others there. That first girl was already buried, so it made sense to use it for all of them. If anyone was to ever find out, they’d think the old ma
The light of morning brought with it the pain of her battle wounds and Sandra moaned as she rolled over. Her head was pounding, her face throbbing from where she had unknowingly been laying on it and her body ached from her hair to her toes. She had never felt so sore or so exhausted before. It was like she hadn’t slept in weeks. She knew, if it wasn’t for the need to pee, she would probably still be asleep. With a reluctant sigh, she climbed out of the bed and looked around. She could see out of her swollen eye a bit more this morning than last night, which made her happy. They had returned to the flat in Versailles shortly after dawn, having been released from the hospital. She was given a shot to help her sleep, but not until the doctors made certain there were no broken bones. The handsome doctor who had seen them several weeks earlier was on call and arrived in the emergency room, insisting on giving her an ultrasound to check that the baby was well.Creighton had made her eat b
She frowned as she sat on the side of the tub, filling it with warm water. There was something he wasn’t telling her, but she couldn’t put her finger on it. It was more of a feeling she got from him and she knew deep down he was hiding something important.Creighton brought in a tall glass of orange juice and a small white pill as she climbed beneath the water. He handed her both and watched as she obeyed his silent order, slipping the pill into her mouth. He took the glass from her when she handed it to him and walked it to the vanity, picking up the wristwatch.“That little thing was a lifesaver,” she told him.“I have a growing list of complaints to discuss with Lawrence,” he said, setting it back down and walking over to her again. “I don’t like how difficult it was to find you. That’s not what I wanted when I came up with the idea for this device. I was hoping it would be much easier and much quicker. But then again, I wasn’t expecting you to stay behind when you had the chance t
“I have been away from you far too long and I want you to make me cum,” she whispered against his neck as she began kissing and nipping at the firm skin.“Who am I to disagree?” he asked and lifted her hips a little higher, then slowly settled her down across him. Sandra felt her body relax around him, then braced her hands on his shoulders as he began to move her over his hard shaft.“I feel like it’s been a lifetime since we were together,” she moaned, feeling her body tighten around him.“You’ll never be that far from me again, I promise,” he whispered. His desire and passion were beginning to overtake him, and he gripped her buttocks hard, moving in and out of her at a steady rhythm. He knew it wouldn’t take much to fill her with the heat of his desire, but she needed to experience the release of her pent-up frustrations from the past two days, more than he did. With a wicked grin, he laid back slightly in the tub, allowing her to feel the full length of him as her body took him
Several minutes passed by before she felt the relief of having an empty stomach, then stood from the floor of the narrow stall. She heard the door open and frowned. This was not the time to confront another person.“Sandra, are you alright?” Sabrina asked from outside the closed door. She drew a deep breath. At least it wasn’t a stranger, or one of the reporters who had tried to get an interview with them as they left their flat.“I’m okay,” she answered, opening the door and walking to the sink to rinse her mouth out.“Andrew told me you’re pregnant,” Sabrina said softly. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”“I didn’t want you to worry any more than you already were.”“I’m so sorry,” she said through a shaky tone. “I wish Crey had never met that man or his horrible family.”“You don’t mean that,” Sandra said, turning to look at the girl as she wiped her hands on a paper towel. “What about Giovanni? He really loves you and I thought you felt the same way.”“I thought so too, but after al
“We still have some loose ends to tie up before we can put this to rest, but for now you can consider several cases closed. We’ll get in contact with the families of the victims and arrange a proper burial.”“We’ll take care of Angela Meacham,” Sandra offered. “She deserves to be buried with dignity beside her grandmother.” “I’ll let the coroner know.” Andrew drew a deep breath to match that of his brother’s.“What about Miriam?” Sandra asked again. “Will she be alright?”“She was innocent of everything her cousin did. He simply chose her clinic because of the distance it provided and the seclusion. Fortunately, she has insurance that will repair the damage and she will be returning to France in a few days. I’m sure she’ll dedicate an entire book to her cousin’s mental illnesses.”Sandra stared at Andrew for a moment. She wasn’t sure if she wanted to laugh or chastise him for his cool attitude toward all of this. Turning to see Creighton beside her, she took his hand and walked out
