Two weeks.
It’s been two long weeks since he last saw Eva curled up and unconscious in that alley.
He was losing his mind with worry as he desperately tried to piece together what was happening. He and his brothers had spent all their time following any little clue as to where she was staying. Laurence found the search frustrating, as he had yet to find anything relatively close to helpful, but still continued in his search.
Eva grit her teeth together as another harsh blow from the hard pipe split across her back. The pain that blossomed was familiar as she had felt it repeatedly for quite some time now. She clenched her teeth and refused to show how much it hurt. She knew her defiance was motivating Oliver to be harsher on her, but she couldn’t bring herself to cave in to his inclinations.
Laurence stared blankly at the illuminated screen in his hand. His mind was telling him to hang up quickly and ignore the call. Yet something in his gut refused to dismiss the thought that it was possible it wasn’t just another telemarketer. His thoughts caused the call to time out and the number went str
Eva let out a deep sigh of relief as Laurence finally jumped in the backseat to grab her brother. It wouldn’t have been much
Eva’s heart pounded and she sprung to life, finally fighting Peter as he pushed her too far. Her brother was going to die. “Eva,” an unfamiliar voice called, but she refused to back down from the hands that gripped her and tried to hold her down.

The amber liquid had a small white bag floating around it, the tea giving off a citrus aroma. He then placed a bowl in her lap with a metal spoon sticking out of the warm liquid. “I hope yo
Eva covered the end of the flashlight with the gray sack slung over her shoulder and smashed it into the glass, shattering it with as little noise as possible. The small pieces scattered and glittered in the moonlight as they delved onto the hard concrete, their harsh edges the only thing making them visible in the darkness. Eva waited silently, listening intently for an alarm or people freaking out. When nothing caught her attention, she snaked her thin arm between the sharp contours of the glass and flicked her wrist so she could reach the lock. She clicked the lock in the opposite direction to unlock the door and
“Excuse me, what the heck was that? What do you think you’re doing?” Eva yelled, her hard stomps shaking the walls as she trekked angrily in his direction.Laurence was beyond shocked that he found his mother and mate had broken into his father’s house and were searching through his safe.
