《A Forbidden Bond》全部章節：第 131 章 - 第 140 章

My heart was filled with worry for Liam as I rushed down the stairs. My legs moved quickly and my senses were sharp. I could not shake his distressed voice out of my head. I bumped into Bunny as soon as I reached the bottom of the stairs and she frowned when she saw the state I was in. “What’s wrong? Is everything alright?” Her eyes ran over me, looking for any signs of me being hurt. I shook my head and then replied, “I’m going over to Liam's, he might be in danger. Let everyone know where I’m at if anyone asks. And don’t worry, I can take care of myself.” I walked away and headed for the door. When I turned the knob and swung the door open, I noticed that it had started snowing again. It was too cold for the layer of clothing that I had on. I needed much warmer clothes but did not have the time. I needed to get over to Liam’s as quickly as possible. He was just a kid and could not even shift, which basically meant that he could barely protect himself if he needed to.And I knew

It was now the next morning and I made small movements on the soft mattress as I opened my eyes slowly. I adjusted my head on the comfy puffy pillow under me as sleep fled further away from my eyes. It was a new day and I felt renewed. My lower body was still under the gray duvet and Zayn was snoring right beside me. He was shirtless and his mouth was open slightly. Even in sleep, he still looked really good-looking. When I glanced at the alarm clock by the bedside, I saw that it was seven a.m. Birds were chirping and the beams of the sun ray shone through our thin curtains. It was a beautiful morning. The air was cold but not as cold as last night. It was now a comfortable kind of cold. The one where people built snowmen and made snow angels. It was the kind of cold where people threw snowballs at each other and enjoyed the brilliance of winter together. I sat up and dragged my body off the bed. When I stood up, I yawned and walked toward the bathroom. There was something abo

My heart was pounding and my palms were sweaty. Anxiety tortured me and as much as I tried, I could not swallow up my nerves. Zayn and I led the detective into the house as breakfast was being served by the helpers. Friendly chatter could be heard and the chandeliers hanging emitted light gracefully even though it was in the day. Serenity and the others were already at the dining table. Only Liam and the kids were missing. But right now, I was more focused on the major development that the detective talked about earlier on the porch. Did it have to do with Liam and me? I noticed the look of suspicion that I got from the detective. “Hi, everyone. I think most of you know who I am, I’m the detective overseeing the current hit-and-run investigation.” Detective Stone introduced herself once we were in the dining area. “Yeah, we remember you. You were the one that wanted to put me away.” Bunny stared at the detective coldly and tension swirled in the air. “But you ended up putting

Snow. Christmas trees. Stockings. Lights. Gingerbread men. And busted cars. Those were the things that reminded me that we were getting closer to Christmas. The busted yellow sportscar that was sitting in the storage area had a thin layer of dust on it. The windshield was damaged and the front had a dent in it, along with a broken headlight. Even though the car was damaged, it still looked impressively good. If it was not for that headlight that broke during the hit, the detective wouldn’t have been on our backs. But I guess justice always found a way, and we were just getting what we deserved. “What the actual f*ck?” Ashton exclaimed. He scoffed in disbelief and walked closer to the car, inspecting it in the process. “Holy cow, it was you two. You guys were the ones that hit that guy.” Zoe sounded shocked and also worried. “Oh my god, oh my god.” She started to panic. “Lara, you can’t go to prison again. You can’t.” Her voice broke. Serenity pulled her close and comforted her.

I was wearing a second layer of a jacket and was prepared for going into the cold at 12 a.m. I was sitting next to Zayn on the couch and we all were watching a rom-com. I may have been looking at the screen of the flat-screen TV, but I was not actually watching the movie.I was more focused on what we were going to be doing by 12 a.m., Zayn and I. I kept glancing at the clock hanging on the wall every minute. It was only ten p.m. now. Ashton and Liam bought the car. It was a little over the price but they paid for it anyway. We needed it and did not have much of a choice, even if that meant that we were cheated. The brand new sportscar was now parked next door, in the garage. We tried our best to make the car look not as new as it actually was. If it appeared too new, it would raise suspicions during the inspection.A knock sounded at the door and I was startled. The sound came again and I glanced at the clock once more before standing to my feet. “I will get it.” I walked out of th
