Unspoken Truth Prologue
The Party Dakoda asked if I was enjoying myself. And yes, I am. I’m dancing with a hot guy right now. I mean, come on, he is the quarterback of the football team. Guys like Chad don’t normally look twice at girls like me. I’m a quietly shy girl. Unlike my twin sister, who is the life of the party. We may look just alike, but in ways she is so much prettier than I am. She carries herself differently than I could ever... with so much more confident than I have. But somehow Chad likes me. He’s so handsome and sweet. Most of the football players are such jerks to me because I’m so quiet and standoffish. I look over at my sister grinding on her long-time boyfriend Jax and smile at her.” Dakoda comes over to where Chad and I are dancing to let me know that she and Jax are going upstairs to have a little fun. “Are you going to be okay out here by yourself?” She asks me, and I give her a go to hell look because yes, I will be okay. I might be the shy, quiet kid, but in the arms o
Unspoken Truth Authors Note
“Hello my lovely readers.” I had so many emotions writing this book. It has been one of the darker books I have written this far. I would like to thank my sister-in-law Jamie for helping me every step of the way in this book. She has told me lines to keep... and lines to get rid of. She has also been one of my biggest supporters throughout my writing journey. So, I would like to dedicate this book to her. Also, my big sister Leanne... man, what I would get into if it wasn’t for these two lovely ladies? “Much Love, my wonderful readers.”

Stella, It’s been a few weeks since I’ve been back home, and everything feels so weird still. Kai is the worst of it... he keeps treating me like I’m glass, and I just want to yell at him to stop, but I get where he and my family are coming from. We have all been through a lot in the last year and this just cuts the cake. I want Kai to touch me again, but every time he even so much as puts a hand on my back, I tense up and start thinking about Professor Hamilton’s hands on me. Tomorrow is Monday and the first day for me back at school. I’m worried about going back to school tomorrow because everyone will know I was kidnapped. Will it be the same as it was in Washington... where everyone makes jokes and makes my life and my family’s life hell? My sister walks up the stairs just then and comes into my room. “Hey sis, you doing okay? You didn’t seem focused at the dinner table tonight.” “Did I?” Dakoda arches a brow at me. “Don’t feed me that bullshit... Stella, yo

Stella, “Stella, is that you, honey?” Mom asks me when I walk through the door. “Yes, mom it’s me.” “How did your first session with Dr. Elizabeth go?” Of course, that would be the first thing she would ask me when I walked through the door. “It went find mom I say walking into the kitchen where she is... throwing something together for supper. “Well, that’s good, honey. Why don’t you run on up and get yourself a shower, then when you get back down here, we can talk more about your day. That sound good.” “No, mom it really doesn’t sound good,” I tell her. “What I want to do is go upstairs and forget about the day all together, okay?” I snap at her. “Stella Rose Savage, what has gotten into you? You have never talked to me like that before. Start talking right now, young lady?” “Damnit... mom, I don’t want to talk, I don’t want to think are anything else about what happened to me. Why can’t you and Dakoda understand and respect that

Kai, Fuck, she’s so fucking beautiful. I can’t believe we almost lost her. I will never let this girl out of my sights ever again. As I’m lowering myself inside her, I can feel her stretching for me and FUCK, I won’t last long. It’s been weeks since I have been inside her. “You okay baby I ask her as I bury myself all the way inside her. I don’t intend to stop now.” “Kai... Stella whispers and I lose myself to her.” After we have cleaned up, we lay back down in the bed and I can’t help it. I still want answers to why she thought killing herself was the best answer to her problems. “Stell?” Kai.” “Will you talk to me, baby? I need to know what was going through your head at the time and if there is anything we can do to prevent you from feeling that way ever again. Please don’t shut me out this time, Stella.” Stella puts a finger to her lips to ssh me, then sets up on her elbow and looks down at me. “Kai, the best way to explain what I was feeling was lik

Kai, I exit my truck and proceed towards my first building. Once I’m in my classroom, I get my books out and get ready for our first test of the morning. When the professor walks into the room, he has someone with him, and I about bust a gut right then. It takes all I have not to get out of my seat and run up to the front of the class and cut that fucker’s throat. He must not realize I know what he looks like. My professor must be fucking blind to not know who he is. Me: Call 911, he’s in my fuckin’ classroom. Gage: What the fuck, Kai... who’s in your classroom? Fuck, my brother is stupid some fucking times. Me: The fucking professor, Gage. Gage: Fuck! On it. I sit in my seat at the back of the classroom and try my hardest to look nonchalant, but fuck, it’s hard... what is taking the cops so long to get here? This class is almost over. Sure enough, by the time we are done with our test and the bell rings... he’s fucking gone by the time the cops sho

Stella, Kai and my dad have really made me angry right now. I’m tired of being treated like a child. I’ve been through so much already. They shouldn’t control my life as well. Knowing that my dad and Kai are on the same side, I march to my room and pack my clothes, accepting my fate like a good girl. Once I get up to my room, I remember my phone is laying on my bed where I left it when I went to get a shower earlier... so I go to pick it up, and I freeze in place. My hands shake so badly I can barely hold my phone in my hands. I slide down my bed to the floor and yell for my dad because I honestly don’t know what else to do. Unknown: Picture attached... I’m here for you, baby. We can finally be together with no one standing in our way. My dad and Kai run up to my room in no time flat. Dad asked me what was wrong, then handed my phone to Kai. He then pulled me onto his lap like when I was little. “What the hell is going on?” Dakoda comes into my room
Unspoken Truth 21
Kai, It’s been over three weeks since we have had any lead on where Stella could be. We are all worn out sniping at each other. Even the parents are fighting at this point. Baby, where are you at. “Kai, are you in your room?” Korey asks, knocking on the door. “Coming I yell back.” “Yea, what’s up?” I ask when I open the door. “Hey, we are all going to go grab a bite to eat. Do you want to come?” “No, thank you. I’m going to stay here and do a little more camera searching on my computer. We should find something soon, I tell him.” “Okay bruh.” I sit down at my computer and get logged in. Then open my camera feeds. I have been going over the same feeds for the last two weeks since our door to door came up with nothing. Come on, baby, show me just a glimpse of where he took you. I search, and search until my eyes just can’t stay open any longer, so I lay down in my bed, and close my eyes. I feel like I just got good

Stella, After we’re done eating with our parents, we all head into the living room to visit a little longer before we all head home for the night. “Stella, mom and dad have to talk to you about something. Could we go into the study right quick?” “Um- sure?” “Once in the study, dad closes the door, so the others can’t hear our conversation. Stella Professor Hamilton’s daughter reached out to us and would like to talk to you. She wants to apologize to you in person for what you endured. Are you up to talking to her, dad asks me? “NO!” I yell. I refuse to have any involvement with anyone associated with that monster. We are both able to sleep soundly through the night with no nightmares. I don’t care about her apology. Why didn’t they report him before he hurt someone else? I didn’t realize I was crying until Dad hugged me. “It’s okay baby girl, you do not have to do anything you are not comfortable doing.” “Mom and I will let her know it is not a good idea

Stella, I turn to her with tears in my eyes. “He- he can’t be here. He’s here Dakoda?” “Stell, look at me babe, it’s not him. Breathe for me.... that a girl just like that. Now look at him again, Stell.” So, I do, and she’s right. He’s younger than Professor Hamilton and his hair is a little longer. “Is she okay the Professor asks, coming up the stairs toward us?” “Yes, she will be fine,” Dakoda tells him, and I nod my head at him. After the class is over, the Professor asks me to stay and talk to him for a minute. I knew this was going to happen. I was just hoping not this soon. “Yes, Professor Douglas.” “Hey, Miss. Savage, do you want to explain to me what just happened up there at the being of the class?” “I don’t want to get into the specifics because it’s still difficult, but for a moment, you reminded me of someone who caused me pain. However, my sister helped me realize you are not that person. You have my word that it won’t ha

CollegeStella, “Today’s the big day, sister. Are you ready?” Dakoda asks me as I’m getting out of Kai’s car. Today we start our first day of big girl school, otherwise known as college. My sister asks me if I am ready. Truth I have no clue if I am are not. It has to be a better start than my senior year, right? I’m starting out in a good place. This goes around. I have a wonderful fiancé.... we live in a nice apartment right by the college. We could actually walk to classes if we wanted to. My sister is back doing the surfing tournaments with her guys again. And my parents are happier than they have been in over two years. Our brief vacation did us all some good. We all got a fresh look at life. I wrap my arm around my sister's shoulder. “Yes, I think I am. I have a good feeling about this year.” “Me too sister, me too.” “Hold up there, girlie.” Kai says, running up to me and giving me a big kiss. “Have a great day, baby. I will see you after classes.” “U

Kai, The next day we will make a day of adventure. I was having fun until a monkey stole my damn wallet. Oh, Stella thought, it was so damn funny. “You liked that, didn’t you I ask her?” walking up to where she was standing, she knows exactly what I was about to do? “Don’t you dare, Kai she squeaks at me and runs behind her dad.” “Oh, baby do you really think daddy will save you I ask her... raising one of my brows at her.” “I most certainly WILL- not Jim says bringing Stella right where I need her.” I give her my biggest playboy smile and charge her, throwing her right over my shoulders. “Kai, you put me down right this instant.” I do, but not before I slap her on her ass. “You dick she whispers.” “I got your dick.” I tell her, then remove her teeth from her bottom lip and reach down to give her a kiss. “I love you, baby.” I whisper over her lips, and she shivers. We do a few tasks before lunch, and afterwards the girls go for manicures an

Kai, “We have a day before we head out for vacation, and I want to propose to Stella on our vacation, so will you guys go with me and help me pick out the perfect ring? I need you mostly Dakoda because you know what she likes, and you... bozos can be my support team.” “Well, it’s about damn time.” Dakoda says, giving me a high five. “Yea... yea, let’s get this done before Stella gets off work. By the way, how did you get the day off?” “Told him I had a doctor’s appointment, but it wasn’t him I had to worry about. It was your girl. She wanted to know why I didn’t tell her and was determined she was going to go with me.” “Stubborn ass woman.” “You’re telling me,” Dakoda says. “Well, let’s hit the road.” The woman in the jewelry store eyed us nervously. But it’s funny once I throw money around. She perks right up, asking what she could do for us. I almost tell her she can kiss my ass and I will take my business elsewhere, but I remember there are no

Stella, We have arrived in the Bahamas. It’s beautiful down here. We rented a condo on the ocean, so all we had to do was walk right out our front door and be on the beach. Kai and I have one condo, mom and dad have another right beside us, and Dakoda and the boys have another condo right on the other side of mom and dad. We all agreed to meet up for dinner tonight in our parent’s condo. All the condos have kitchen nets in them so my parents insisted on cooking in most nights unless we are all out late doing fun stuff then we can eat out. So, we all head to our own condos to get showers and dressed for dinner tonight. When Kai and I step into our condo, we are both taken away by the view. “Holy shit baby, this is beautiful. Hawaii is pretty in its own way, but this place just has something about it that makes it so amazing,” Kai says. “It would be nice for a wedding, don’t you think?” What? A wedding? Why is Kai talking about weddings? Is he going to? Then I re

Kai, It’s graduation day for Stella and the gang. I haven’t seen her since the time she came to the hospital, so I want to surprise her today at her graduation. She hasn’t told me where she’s going to college yet, but the sky’s the limit with a full ride. That makes me so proud of her and wherever she goes to college, I will still be there with her. We will figure our relationship. “Kai bro, you ready?” Gage asks, coming into my apartment. Luckily, the apartment is on the first floor, so it helps to get in and out with the cane. I’ve done pretty good with the cane that the therapist says I will probably walk without it in a month are two. “Yea, let’s hit the road. Stella doesn’t know I’m coming, right?” “No, she still thinks you’re mad at her and never want to see her again. Gage snaps.” “Where are you going?” Gage asks. “My truck,” I tell him. “No, you’re not. You can’t drive, Gage says.” “The fuck I can’t. I say and move on to my truck and get in.”

Kai, “Hey, Kai Stella has called for the third time today. Would you like to call her back or should I keep telling her you’re still sleeping?” Gage asks me, and I know he’s getting aggravated at me, but I really don’t give a shit at this point. Gage doesn’t understand what’s going on right now. I’m really trying to work through all this shit, so I don’t take it out on my girl, because I know this shit isn’t on her. She never asked for her psycho teacher to have an effectuation with her. Then kidnap her not once but twice. She also didn’t ask me to run away from the guy trying to get to her and get shot in the back. No, she never asked for any of this, but I still in the back of my head blame her some, so I want to have a clear head when I see her again. “Just tell her I’m still asleep with Gage.” “Damn it, Kai, how long are you going to avoid her?” “Until I’m out of this fuckin’ bed. Is that what you want to hear, Gage. Just go back to your friends and girlfriend and

Stella, “Holy shit, she kicked ass with that speech Gage says.” “So, which one of you said you were going to be a surfer in the six grade I ask?” “That’d been me.... Korey says raising his hand, and we all laugh.” “Did you guys know we were going to get scholarships?” I ask the guys and Dakoda.... we haven’t been at the school for long and I have missed so much. I’m even surprised I graduated with you guy this year. “So, how did you guys pull it off I ask, looking at Korey, the ringleader of all things that gets done around here?” “I don’t know what you’re talking about, Stella. Contrary to what you believe, I don’t have that kind of pull.” I just give him the stink eye, then walk over to where Kai and my parents are waiting. “So, care bear, have you told Kai what college you are going to yet, or are you going to make the poor guy sweat it out a little while longer? Dad whispers in my ear when I give him a hug, and I just smile up at him.”
