All Chapters of Her Redemption. His Second Chance.: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

[Elise’s POV]Jose’s words drift around me while I continue to stare at the building in front of me. With each passing minute, it becomes more and more familiar, and I can’t deny that I actually know this place.Shivering, I try to make sense of why this is happening. Everything was just as I remembered it from the dock that sat just behind it and the calm sea. Even the seabirds that fly high in the blue sky are exactly as I remember them.“Why?” I whisper, unable to believe it. “Why is this the place?”As the words leave my lips, I feel myself drifting back to reality, and when the world comes into focus, I realize that tears are streaming down my face.“What’s wrong?” Jose asks, reaching out to brush one from my cheek but stopping as I let a growl escape me. “Did something happen?”“That place,” I say slowly, feeling my hatred for my parents rise once again. “That’s the fucking orphanage I was in.”It was made to look like the perfect Catholic church with caring pastors and nuns who

[Elise’s Pov]I stare at the bar in front of me, understanding completely why Anasastia wanted to meet Denali here. Since it was located on the poorer side of town, the people who frequented these places were drug lords and criminals.“Sneaky, sneaky.” I giggle, straightening my skirt. “But not sneaky enough.”Putting a look of innocence on my face, I begin to move, heading into the building, which wreaks of alcohol and stale smoke. Once inside, I look around until I spot her sitting in a booth while sipping on some fruity drink.Doing my best impression of Denali, I make my way toward her and then take a seat while she watches me.Only when I’m settled does she give me a smile that gives me the creeps.“I’m so glad you came.” Anastasia beams. “I wasn’t sure if you would.”“Of course I came.” I counter, smiling gently. “How could I ignore my dear sister when she reached out?”“And here I thought you forgot all about me after taking over Emerald Moon with your husband.” She huffs.“No

[Rosco’s POV]“Now,” I begin, taking in the three on the ground. “Someone better tell me exactly what was happening when I walk in.”I speak slowly as my anger rises and falls. I didn’t need a response to know what the hell it was that Anastasia had planned, but I wanted to see if she would continue to play the victim.“I...” she begins, taking the bait. “I only came here to speak with Denali, but she...” she continues, snapping her gaze at Elise. “She tricked me!”“Yeah, right.” Elise huffs with a growl. “Man, I hate bitches like you the most who play the poor me victim thing.”“I’m not!” Anastasia argues. “And who are you anyway? What have you done with my sister?”“I ate her.” Elise responds sarcastically. “There’s really no way you’re so fucking stupid you don’t understand what is happening here.”I hold back the laugh that wants to escape as Anastasia’s expression shifts. I guess she was really too stupid to understand what was happening. I knew that she wasn’t the brightest, but

[Elise’s POV]I stare at William as his words repeat themselves in my mind again and again.Was he really being serious right now? Wasn’t he basically proposing to me right here and now? Was he out of his fucking mind?“Be prepared to lose.” I finally shrug, deciding to bite. “I have no intention of falling for you or anyone else in this lifetime.”“We’ll see.” William chuckles, grabbing my chin between his strong fingers. “But I’d say that you’re already beginning to fall.”“Shut up.” I growl, reaching up and cupping the back of his neck. “And kiss me.”I didn’t want to talk about feelings or possible future relationships. All I wanted to do was fuck, and since he was here and willing, he would help me satisfy my need.Understanding exactly what I wanted, William leans down, claiming my mouth with his own. When his tongue presses against my lips, I obediently part them, allowing him access. Together, our tongues dance while my hands begin to undo his belt and then his pants. Once the

[Rosco’s POV]I sit at my desk, watching as Charlie and Marty look over the maps that I passed them. The route they are examining is the one that leads to the sawmill that our captive claimed Roger and his goons were currently inhabiting. With this new discovery, there was no reason to go to that orphanage to investigate except to see if they purposely sent Elise there.Although I had half a mind to send one team to the orphanage and the other to the mill, the main focus was removing Roger once and for all so that the threat against Crystal Fang was taken care of.Now, I wait while Charlie and Marty get a layout of the land they’ll be traveling. Once they finish, they lift their gazes to me and wait for further instruction, but I want to wait for William to arrive since I knew that he wasn’t going to be pleased with the plan that was about to be laid out in front of everyone.“Why do you look so on edge?” Marty asks, eyeing me. “You look like you’re about to send someone off to their
