Justin POV"Tyler, you have to listen to me," I say as I follow him, but it's like talking to nothing; he keeps wanting to break everything in his path. Fortunately, I was behind him."You're leaving here, now," he says, opening the door."Stop it, Tyler, you've known me since we were kids. What would I gain by trying to harm you?" I ask."I DON'T KNOW, JUSTIN, I CAN ONLY THINK OF ONE THING," he pauses and approaches me, "I WANT YOU TO LEAVE HERE BEFORE I END UP KILLING YOU." At that moment, Emily enters the room."What's going on here?" she asks, bewildered."It seems we have a new traitor in the family," Tyler says furiously, throwing things to the ground."What?" Emily asks, confused."Tyler, stop this, you know I would never do anything to harm you. I don't know how those papers ended up there," I try to argue, but he's blinded by anger."Can someone please explain to me what's going on here?" Emily shouts again, trying to push him away from me."He was going to deliver these comp
Josh POV"Your little girlfriend just arrived," Shell says, passing by me and pointing to the entrance of the bar."Which one?" I chuckle, smoking a cigarette as I lean against the wall."The redhead," she replies with a shrug, seemingly uninterested."Anne?" I turn abruptly, seeing the girl holding a paper in her hand with a clearly sad expression.Shell grabs a glass from the counter and goes to serve a guy who had just arrived too."I knew I'd find you here," Anne says after approaching."How did you know I was here?" I take a few steps back, surprised."I've been following you," she sits beside me and glares at Shell, "or rather, I've been following both of you.""You made it pretty clear that our relationship wasn't exclusive, Anne. After all, you always liked being a stripper and showing off to other men," I respond firmly."Don't come at me with that now, you jerk, you broke my heart!" she says angrily, throwing the paper at me."Don't come at me either," I say, turning my back
Tyler POV"What do you think you're doing, kicking Justin out of the house?" Emily storms into the office, slamming the door."Doing what's right, what else?" I respond irritably, annoyed that she still believes in him."Tyler, stop being an idiot. This is getting ridiculous. Justin would never betray us!" Emily asserts."Oh, really? Great," I continue looking at the computer, ignoring her completely."We need to talk." She closes the computer and crosses her arms in front of me."I think we're already talking.""You know Justin didn't do this," she stares at me, forcing me to look at her."I didn't even notice you coming home from work. How's David?" I change the subject, trying to make her forget about this."Tyler, you're acting like a child!" This time she raises her voice slightly."Did Ethan show up there today?" I ask again, paying no attention to her response."He did. And you know what happened? He sent his men to chase Caroline and Justin in the hospital," Emily says angrily
Ethan POV"You did a great job," I compliment her as I slowly remove her bra, observing every inch of her body."He's going to want to kill Justin," she responds, smiling and licking her lower lip mischievously.I move my kisses to her neck. A wave of shivers runs through her; it's visible. Her soft and delicate skin is a great match with her sweet scent. I bury my head in her neck again, allowing her scent to fill my nostrils and make me even more excited."He won't, Tyler loves those idiots too much," I whisper in her ear, making her gasp with desire.I get rid of the bra and take her breasts in my hands; she lets out a sigh and moves her hips, bringing our intimacies into contact and mutually grinding against each other. The sounds of the walls are muffled by our moans; only the music from the club is loud enough to penetrate through the walls. In a rough movement, she sits on my lap, tossing her hair to the opposite side and sliding her hands down my chest, kissing my pecs."I tho
Emily POVOkay. I don't even need to say that was a surprise. Caroline, Justin, and Luke showing up like that, but something told me it might be a good thing."Get out, all three of you, from my house," Tyler says, taking a step forward."No! You need to hear what we have to say," Justin retorts, with a serious expression on his face, without hesitation."You," Tyler points at him, "You I can tolerate, but these two I want out of here!" he shouts, losing control and pointing at Luke and Caroline who were near the sofa."I'm not leaving until I find out what my son is doing here," Luke says, approaching. "For God's sake, Mitchell, don't make me regret helping you.""You were in town and dared not to come to me. If he's here, it's your fault," Tyler spits out, stressed, taking his gun from his waist."Oh really? Sorry if I don't accept being your puppet," Luke retorts angrily."Can you guys stop?" Justin's voice sounds louder. "I know Tyler, he would never harm a child.""I want you to
pov joshI ended up knocking on Anne's apartment door. I knew it wasn't the best timing, but I needed to think about my life. Tyler and Emily have their family, Justin and Jade will soon have children too, and I don't want to continue being alone. I've been treating her so badly lately, unsure of how to act around her. I just wanted to show that she wasn't as important, even though she is. A child wasn't in my plans; I still haven't gotten used to the idea, but thinking about it, having an Olivia all to myself wouldn't be so bad. I'm still scared. I don't know how to act around Cassie now; it's going to be strange. I always knew that despite Anne being liberal, her family, despite having modest wealth, always emphasized traditions like marriage. I know this from the long conversations I've had with Cassie; marriage is a tradition. I'm not into that. I rang the doorbell once more; she already knew it was me and wasn't opening. Only I go up without the doorman interphoning. I rang again
"Serious, Caroline? Did you really think it would be easy?" I ignore the message. Justin was still sorting out the money issue; it seemed like there wasn't all the money in the safe after all. He had to go with Luke somewhere else to get the rest. I was in the office with Emily and Tyler; nobody was saying anything. Olivia and the other little boy appeared a few times, but it was brief."How about paying a little visit to the bathroom? I have a surprise for you there! Involves David. And please, be discreet." I received another threatening text message. I couldn't hold it together; my hands were trembling with nervousness, and my body was sweating. I knew Ethan was capable of anything to get what he wants, and I was just trying to protect my son."Where's the bathroom?" I ask."Down the hall, third door on the left," Emily gestures with her hands. With all the courage I had, I went to the bathroom. My steps felt so short, but I quickly reached the bathroom. Jade was there. I alread
Pov caroline Get out of here," I said with some difficulty. "No one can know it was you.""I have to call Emily, she can help," Jade said nervously."No. You have to protect yourself, protect David. Get out of here, and create an alibi," I replied, full of pain.She hesitated for a moment but ended up leaving.I felt my body tingling, an unbearable pain seemed to mix with my blood.I fell to the floor feeling every cell in my body contract and my head throbbing. I couldn't tell if my heartbeats were speeding up or stopping. Before, I could smell the bathroom; some product that had been poured there left the room smelling of lavender. Now, I couldn't smell anything anymore.All I could think of was one thing: I have to say goodbye to my son.I crawled to the door that Jade had left open and tried to stand up. Unsuccessfully. I held onto the wall and leaned on it until I reached the living room and my vision started to darken. I stopped, stood up, focused on breathing, and not losing c
