The Step In Girlfriend Chapter Thirty-Nine
I continue walking around Brooke’s apartment, I couldn’t really do much as I wasn’t an officer like Jacob, but I still wanted to look around in case I found anything that didn’t fit. Jacob was in the kitchen seeing if he could find any fingerprints, while I slowly make my way around the living room taking in all the insignificant details. I didn’t come in Brooke’s house too often, but the handful of times that I have been over, you can see that her mother likes to keep everything looking the same.My eyes soon move to the mantel piece just above the old fire, which is where I see the photo of me a Brooke sitting there. I walk over with a smile recalling the memory, it was actually the first photo we ever took as friends about a month after she started working. The whole restaurant had to be evacuated due to some fire drill, but it was freezing cold, so Brooke pulls her phone out saying let’s take one more photo before we all freeze to death!I let out a little laugh before turning awa

We were soon pulling into the carpark for my house, the entire car ride Jacob was trying to reassure me that everything was going to be okay, but I was unsure. We both just heard how Markus is planning something big that has to do with me and Austin, perhaps it would have been better if I didn’t know. But I knew what Jacob was saying was right, now I’m working with his team I know that he will protect me and the guys, but I can’t help worrying. Markus is a tricky guy, you can neve guess what that man is thinking.We soon pull up at the start of the stairs, I thank Jacob before turning and opening up the door. I couldn’t help but close my eyes slightly as the wind whipped through my hair, so much has happened in this short amount of time that I’m struggling to keep up with it all. I was about to close the door, but I pause looking back into the car at Jacob who was sat smiling at me.“Now we know Markus is dumping Brooke’s phone somewhere, it’s pretty likely that she’s dead right?” I a
The Step In Girlfriend Chapter Forty-One
We all wake up in the morning a little shocked about his car, my head was just swirling with the question why? Whenever Markus does something like this, it means you have done something to anger him and he wants to teach you a lesson. But I have no idea what we could have done, I know it can’t be down to him finding out about me helping Jacob. He would do much more than just burn Austin’s car, it can’t be that he knows Austin and I aren’t really a couple because I make sure Roman and I can never been seen together when we’re not at home.But then my mind goes to what I heard yesterday, Markus was telling his friend that he had big plans for his company which involved, me and Austin. But how is burning Austin’s car helping his company?! I have so many questions, which I have no idea what the answers could be!I leave my bedroom where Austin was shouting down the phone, at first I was a little confused on who he could be talking to, until I heard him discussing his car. He must be talki
The Step In Girlfriend Chapter Forty-Two
It’s been a few hours since Markus appeared at our door, I haven’t left the bedroom but I could hear the argument that Austin and Roman had. I wanted to go out there and help, but I knew me being there would only make the situation that much worse.I was now getting ready for this dinner that Austin and I are being dragged to, this time around I wasn’t as nervous. I knew the kind of things to expect but also, I knew what I could and couldn’t do when it came to Markus. I just hope Austin keeps to the plan and doesn’t try to make Markus angry, we all know what happened last time he did that!In the middle of the guys argument, I was able to call Jacob and explain everything that is happening. He told me there isn’t enough time to get officers in the building with me, but he’s coming up with a plan to have them outside where I’ll also be wearing an earpiece.I was placing my earring in my ear, when the bedroom door opens causing me to jump slightly. Through the mirror, I see Roman making
The Step In Girlfriend Chapter Forty-Three
We were soon sat in the car on the way to this dinner, the car was unusually quiet as we sat there. I was staring out of the window looking at all the trees, cars and people that went by. This time alone, allowing my thoughts of what has been happening to swirl around my head. I couldn’t help but feel anxious over what could happen tonight, whenever we’re around Markus in his home, something bad always happens afterwards. But I also couldn’t help but worry over what Jacob might have me do, yes I trust that him and his team will protect me and the guys if we need it. But what if they don’t get there in time?That wasn’t the only thoughts that was swirling around my head, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I somehow preferred it in some way when Roman wasn’t here. I can’t deny that I really liked it when it was just Austin and I, but I just don’t know what. I shake that feeling off soon after it came, I’m probably only thinking this because Roman being back has just made it a little hard
The Step In Girlfriend Chapter Forty-Four
We were soon entering the house, my anxiety thoughts from the last time I was here start to fill my head. Being here was fine, it’s what happened that same night that scares me to the core. I know so much has changed since then and according to Jacob, Markus sees me as a kind of property so he won’t do too much damage, but the fear is still there.As we make it to the entrance of the house, Markus appears beaming from ear to ear which did freak me out. In the few months that I have been around Markus, I have never seen him this happy, that fact alone scarring me.“It’s so great to see you two, quickly come in before the cold follows you” he says eagerly which once again took me by surprise, before we could speak he turns around and walks in the house.I turn to Austin to see him looking right back at me, I guess from the look on his face he was feeling the same thing. But he soon leads me into the house closing the front door before us, where we spot Markus was already half way down t
The Step In Girlfriend Chapter Forty-Five
Austin and I look at each other for a few more seconds, Markus isn’t being serious right now is he? He doesn’t actually expect us to do some of his weird deliveries at this hour?! Austin looks back at Markus still shocked, but Markus’s face didn’t change.“It’s 9pm” Austin says trying to remind Markus that it was indeed late, but Markus just smiles nodding his head as though it was nothing. “Isn’t it a bit late to do this?” Austin asks when Markus still fails to understand where we were going with this!“We all know night is the best time to do any sort of delivery, the roads are clear” Markus says shrugging, well perhaps if he stops to take in his own sentence, he would understand the reason for the roads being clear is everyone is at home!“What type of people are we delivering these packages to?” Austin asks after realising Markus wouldn’t back down this time, but his questions only worries me slightly, if we have to do this at nighttime, what and who are we delivering these to?!“
The Step In Girlfriend Chapter Forty-Six
We were soon driving out of the gates and towards town, I had given Austin the address which seemed to be on the outside of town, a place which I personally, had never been. I had no idea what to think going into this, it does seem like a simple job of just delivering some unknown packages to these unknown people. But now I know how Markus works and what goes on in his brain, I’m worried that some issue is going to pop up which will be dangerous. The silence that was filling the car was soon broken, by Austin letting out a sigh.“I’m sorry Payton, I keep telling you that I won’t let Markus involve you in this mess but look, you’re sitting right beside me as I do one of his jobs!” He says shaking his head as he went, I knew he would be beating himself up about this, but he doesn’t have to!“Come on, we knew it was going to happen at some point” I say with a little smile to lighten the mood, I’ve known since I first learnt what Markus likes to get up to, that I would be involved in some

*Ten Months Later*I was peacefully walking up and down the market, as it was getting darker earlier once again, the pretty market was just full of fairy lights. This place always reminds me of a fairytale, the people are always so nice when you talk to them.We haven’t been able to come back here in way over a year, with all the chaos we had to stay clear of this place which was sad. But now I was back, the peaceful moment is what I really needed. But due to the peaceful moment, my mind was having its opportunity to start thinking about all the chaos that had filled my life for those months.Of course, my mind drifted to the one and only Roman first and what he was up to now. I know that might be very confusing but also, rather alarming to hear me speak about him that way. But I’m here to tell you, Roman never died that day, even though that’s what Jacob said. When the police looked more into what Markus did to the city, it was found that the device that Markus used to blow up all th

I continue to lay in Austin’s arms pretending to be passed out, the only flaw to my plan is I couldn’t see what was happening because of my eyes being closed. I trust Austin won’t let anything happen, but let’s all remember that Markus is about and when he’s involved, there’s no telling what could happen.“We don’t have time for this, come on” I hear Markus’s panicked voice says from somewhere, I didn’t know how long this was going to stale him but anytime, is better than us running with him.“Can’t you see that my pregnant girlfriend has passed out?!” Austin voice shouts which did nearly make me jump, thank the lord that I managed to not flinch.“Payton is going to be fine, but we really need to leave!” Markus says sounding like he was really losing his temper, but at this moment I didn’t care that much. “I know something that will wake her up” he says and before I know it, my eyes shoot open as he had just thrown cold water on my face.“What the fuck?” I ask looking down at myself,
The Step In Girlfriend Chapter Sixty-Three
Around an hour later, Austin and I were back in his car heading towards the seafront again. I feel like this is all I have done recently, just drive to and from the same places over and over again. We had both gone over the plan with Jacob and I felt confident, that we both knew what we had to do.The car was silent as we sat there, I think we were trying to come to terms with what we had just learnt, Austin more than me. While also, worrying if a certain part of this plan falls through, which is something we cannot let happen!“I still don’t understand how you were able to hide what you were doing from me for so long, either you’re really good or I don’t pay attention” Austin says breaking the silence, I look over at him laughing as he looked back at the road.“I did it to keep you safe and I knew what you would have said if I would have told you, I’m sorry I kept it from you, I hope you’re not too angry” I say looking over at him with a tiny smile, I would understood fully if he was

We soon head home and begin to pack our things, Austin told me that we would have to pack one bag each. We didn’t need to be lugging a heap of bags with us when we were trying to run, I kept agreeing with him before I start worrying about the plan that was ahead of us.I had packed a bag of important things before walking out into the living room, I could still hear Austin rushing around in his room getting his things ready. My eyes begin to scan the living room a place I had called home for a few years now, trying to take in any details that I could. I had no idea if we were going to be able to come back to this place once we leave, not because we’re going off with Markus as I know we’re not. But after he gets arrested, we’re going to be put in witness protection. I know for sure that we won’t be able to live here, this will be the first place that Markus will look.I still couldn’t really believe that this whole nightmare is going to end soon, the event that has taken over my life f
The Step In Girlfriend Chapter Sixty-One
Austin just looks at me for a second, I had to try and act like I was somewhat surprised over what Markus had said. But I knew before Markus knew what was going to happen, Jacob gave me the heads up a few days ago.“I mean I’m happy that you’re taking us into consideration, but Payton and I can’t go on the run with you Markus” Austin says turning back to talk to Markus, I knew Austin didn’t want to because he knew I didn’t like being around Markus but also, because of the predicament that I was currently in.“I know it’s not the ideal situation, but you’re going to have to if you don’t want the police to turn their sights onto you” Markus says not getting why Austin was so hesitant, I was more shocked Austin was kind of telling Markus no for once.“We can’t psychical go on the run” Austin said looking to me as he said it, I think he was trying to spell it out to Markus who clearly, wasn’t getting what we were trying to say!“Sure you can, I have been on the run before I came here and

Austin soon spots Markus standing there too, lucky for us he hadn’t turn around to look at us yet so we had a few seconds. Now he was in my eye line, I couldn’t stop the scared feelings that were running through my body.“I know you’re scared Payton, but trust me you’re going to be fine” Austin whispers looking down at me as we walked, I take a deep breath in sending him a smile letting him know I was somewhat fine, even though my heart was going at a million miles an hour. As we get even closer to Markus, you could see from the way in which he was standing, that he was also panicking. We even managed to get right up behind him and he didn’t know it, this Markus is one I’ve never seen before!“Markus?” Austin says when he still didn’t turn around, this does make him jump and finally turn around to look at us standing right behind him.“You two don’t understand how happy I am to see your faces, you won’t believe the amount of shit I’ve had to deal with this morning and it’s only 10am!
The Step In Girlfriend Chapter Fifty-Nine
In no time, we arrive at the sea front, my anxiety still off the charts at this point. One thing that I have learnt about Markus, you never know what his next move is going to be and there really isn’t much point trying to predict it either. Whenever you think a situation is going one way, Markus sweeps it from under you and sends you in a complete spin!We drive up and down for a few minutes, I was hoping we would be able to spot him and be able to stay in the car while we talk. That way if the conversation for whatever reason was to go south, we will be able to make a quick getaway. But I couldn’t catch sight of the man even once, even Austin said he couldn’t see him anywhere.“I think our best bet would be to park the car and look for him on foot” Austin says after a few more minutes with no luck, that plan was definitely not what I wanted.What if Markus has somehow found out that I have been the one helping police? Could this whole meet up be some kind of surprise attack? Markus
The Step In Girlfriend Chapter Fifty-Eight
I was sat in my bed just letting my thoughts wonder, I don’t think I have fully had a chance to think over everything that has happened. Not only with Markus, or the feelings for Austin that are slowly taking over my thoughts. But the little life inside of me, I place my hand on my stomach just staring at the ceiling.I still can’t believe this is all happening, my mind has been so consumed with everything else that I haven’t fully processed what’s really happened. I just hope when the time comes, everything will be back to normal.The noise of my phone getting a message snaps me from my thoughts, I look over to see it sitting on the table. I had a thought I could just leave it, but I knew it might be urgent so I had to force myself to stand up to see who it was.I pick it up to see a message from Jacob, all it said was the plan was underway, but I knew exactly what that meant. I thought I would have more time to prepare myself, but it looks like it’s starting right now! The spies wer

We were soon pulling into the apartment complex, I feel like this is all I have done over the recent weeks. Just gone to and from seeing Jacob, Markus than home again, not how I thought my life would be going if I’m being honest. Jacob soon pulls up at the bottom of the steps where I send him a smile, I look over at see the lights on telling me that Austin had come home before I got back.“What should I tell Austin?” I ask looking over, I think I’m fully out of excuses at this point, I’ve had to use so many recently! “I can’t say I went to work today, he only told me yesterday that he had drove passed my work and saw it will be closed for a few weeks” I say my best excuse was out the window, he knows that most of my friends are out of town until all this trouble blows over and Brooke is missing.“Just say you got a call from the station telling you Roman wanted to see you, you were picked up by an officer and took over to see Roman” Jacob says which I soon think about for a second, th
