Chapter 51

Kerri helped me to file a restraining order on him, but I knew that no piece of paper was going to stop him. And I was so right. Not too long after, I was working late one night, and he showed up at my office.“Hello doll,” he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. He knew how much I hated being called a doll and he always said it right before a “punishment” was dished out.I jumped and faced him. “Jared. What the hell are you doing here? You’re not supposed to be here.” I tried to keep the fear from my voice but failed. The smile on his face only grew, knowing that I was afraid of him. I hated that I showed him fear. Hated that I was afraid of him. I was never afraid of anyone before him.“Did you honestly think that a piece of paper would keep me from you? You. Are. Mine.” Each word was spat at me with such hatred that I felt it in my bones. His eyes were like the fires of hell they held so much hate. Hate for me.“The police are a phone call away,” I said, picking up my phone, visib

The next day I go back to the place that I saw Addy. Looking around, I try to see what might help me in tracking her down. I live in a small town, so it’s not like there are massive billboards or anything to help me, but I know that there has to be something. That’s when I notice the traffic camera mounted on the light at the corner.“Bingo!” I say to myself, smiling. This is just what I need. I can access the traffic cam and get the license plate off the car she was driving. Then I can know for sure if it was her or not.I walk around town for a little while to see if maybe I will run into her again before heading back home. I also want to see if there is anything that would give me some clue as to why she was here in the first place. I know that what I’m trying to do might seem crazy to some, but if Addy was here and she was hurt, I will move heaven and earth to make sure she is safe and okay. I need to do this with every fiber of my being.Once I’m home, I fire up my computer and se

Chapter 53

That conversation happened about a week ago, and I’m still feeling the effects of it today. The man just can’t let this end. He just has to be in control all the time.I walk outside, and the heat of the Texas summer hits me head-on. The sun is warm, and although the breeze is warm too, it feels good. For once, I don’t scan my surroundings and begin walking towards my car.“Hi, Peanut.” The voice slid over me like silk. Liam was the only person to ever call me that, and I trip over myself at the name.“Careful there, don’t want you to fall.” He’s at my side in two steps and catching me before I fall flat on my face.When I look up into his face my breath stops. He is still as gorgeous as ever. Tall, strong, with hair the color of midnight and eyes as blue as a summer sky. He has a good amount of scruff on his face, but on him it looks amazing. His T-shirt is tight across his chest and there are definitely more tattoos on his arms than before. He is just the perfect specimen of what a m

Chapter 54

The war is still undecided on which one is winning, but all I know is that Addy, or Rachel, is insisting that she is fine and that I don’t need to worry.WRONG!How can I not worry? Even if Rachel is not Addy, and I know that she is, some asshole ex-husband is beating and stalking her and the police are helpless to do anything about it. Not cool. There is no way that I would let anyone like that hurt anybody that I love, and that especially goes for Addison. We may not be together anymore, but that does not mean that I don’t still deeply care about her.I’m in my truck and barely out of the parking lot when I dial Zane’s number.“Hello.” the big guy says.“What’s your location? I need to talk to you,” I say. There is no need for small talk; we are both people who like to get straight to the point. “Home, I’ll text you the address,” he says and hangs up. Not thirty seconds later my phone dings with his address. I plug it into my GPS and head out. Twenty minutes later, I pulled into a dr

Chapter 55

ADDISONTHIS THERAPY SESSION SEEMS different. Maybe it’s because part of me anticipates seeing Liam afterwards. Maybe it’s knowing that someone here, in this town other than my contacts, knows the real me, or maybe it’s because the room seems a bit more tense than usual, but whatever it is, something is definitely different.I really have no idea, but the latter reason is bothering me a bit. I have no idea why it’s so tense, but as someone who has seen this before, I guess you can say I’m more attuned to it than others.Oh, it’s not everyone. No, most are their normal selves, but still, there are a few who just seem jumpier than normal. I know that not everyone in the room will always be in a good mood, or even in a somewhat good mood, but still, there is a vibe that I just can’t put my finger on and it is really bugging me. I remind myself that while this is my therapy group, I am not the one in charge, and therefore it’s not my place to worry. Sam can handle anything that comes her w

Chapter 56

LIAMTHOSE TWO SIMPLE WORDS send my brain into complete overdrive. “Addy! Addy, what’s wrong?” There is no answer, and I’m already up and moving. “Addison! Talk to me.” I know I’m yelling into the phone, but she is not answering. “Peanut, if you can hear me, I’m on my way. I have to hang up the phone to call for help, but I am on my way.”It almost kills me to hang up on her, but I need to call the police and get some help.“9-1-1 what is your emergency?”“I need police and an ambulance sent to 619 Cherry Lane Circle.” I’m practically yelling into the phone as I jump into the driver’s seat of my truck and start the engine.I give the 9-1-1 operator all the information that I have, which in reality is very little, and then drive like Satan himself is on my ass to get to Addison. There was a storm brewing earlier, and now it’s here with gusto. Winds and rain come pouring down, but I don’t care; Addy needs me, and I have to help. I have to.I feel like the drive takes forever, but in real

Chapter 57

“Thank you,” I say, not making eye contact with him. I am too busy staring at the bruised and battered body lying in the hospital bed. She is covered in bandages, and wires are going everywhere. There is more incessant beeping coming from all the machines that she’s hooked up to, and what I can see of her body is black and blue.I walk over to the bed and sit on the chair that is next to her. As gently as I can, I take her hand in mine, trying not to hurt her but fearing that no matter what I do, she is still in pain. It’s then, seeing her like this, that the first tear does fall.ADDISONTHE FIRST THING I notice is that my entire body hurts. There is not one inch of my body that is not in some sort of pain. The second thing I notice is that the pain I am feeling means that I am alive. Oh my God! For some reason, this is really shocking to me. I was sure that what Jared did to me had killed me.Trying to remember everything that had happened to me makes my head hurt. The next thing I k

Chapter 58

“I told the police that I believed it was him who hurt you, but they told me that they needed more evidence to link him to it. They said that they would contact him and talk to him, but without you specifically stating that it was him, they had nothing to go on.” I can see the muscles twitch in his jaw, and the way that his shoulders tense up when he speaks, indicate that he doesn’t like the answers he’s been given in all of this. “I’m sure he has some airtight lying alibis to say he was in New York the whole time, but mark my word, this is far from over, and I will make him pay.”I have no doubt that he will keep his word on this. I also have no doubt that what he said about Jared is also true. Jared has a lot of sleazy friends who will gladly lie to the police and anyone else, for that matter, for him. Money and power are a dangerous combination sometimes.“So how bad am I really?” I ask him. I don’t know why I need to know, but I just do.Liam looks at me with a mixture of both sadn

Chapter 59

My relationship with my family is complicated to say the least, but over the last year or so they have been trying. Me? Not so much, but when shit hit the fan with Addison, and they rallied to her, I realized that I needed to make some changes too and the first was with a phone call to them. “She’s good. She woke up today and they took the breathing tube out and she was alert and talking.”“Oh my God! That’s awesome!” Olivia squeals into the phone.I have to move the phone from my ear so as not to go deaf with the high pitch of her voice, but I understand her excitement. I was overwhelmed myself when she finally woke up enough to talk.“The doctors are confident that now that she is awake and doing better that she won’t be there much longer,” I tell her, climbing into my truck and starting it up.“Excellent,” she says. “And what about her asshole ex? Are the police doing anything about him?” I could hear the steel in her voice when she started talking about him.I give my family credit

Chapter 60

I walk downstairs to see him working in the kitchen cooking. From the smell of it, it’s a big pot of chicken soup. My favorite thing when I don’t feel good.“Hey there,” I say.“Hey. How was your nap?” he asks, turning off the burner and coming around to give me a hug.“It was just what I needed.”“Great. I have lunch almost done and then if you want we can head over to your place and pack what you need.”And there it is. I knew that he was going to insist that I stay here, but there really is no reason for me to. I have a perfectly good place to go and Jared is most likely long gone by now, so again I am fine. Time to tell him how things are going to go.I take a deep breath and then let it out. “Liam, thank you for all that you have done, but really I’ll be fine at my place. There is no reason for me to stay here.”“Absolutely not!” Liam says in a voice I have never heard come out of him. “There is no way in hell that I am allowing you to go back to that house alone. Not when Jared c
