All Chapters of Twice Upon A Star: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

ABIGEAL“IF YOU two could maybe take a break from bonding over shoes to address this small matter at hand, that would be great.” Jordan's tone dripped pure sarcasm. Katnissa rolled her eyes at me. “What did I say?” She whispered before giving Jordan her full attention.“Like you requested, I sent Steven Gustavo the note but I didn't harm Marcus. I used fake blood. His response was outraged like you said it would be, saying that this was between the both of you and you didn't have to involve his brother. A bit hypocritical if you ask me. Naturally, he wants his brother back.” Katnissa gave her report.“What did he propose?”“Nothing yet. Only that he would raze everything you own to the ground if you touch his brother.”“Does this man consider that we have not only decimated his men but we also have the upper hand before he makes threats like that?” Blaine asked nobody in particular.“You forget that he's dealt us a blow as well. I would advise that you don't underestimate him. Now tha

ABIGEALMY EYES flew open and met Blaine's startled ones. “Were those for us?” I whispered. “I'm not sure.” He said back as he passed me my shirt. I quickly pulled it over my head and carefully maneuvered my way back to the passenger seat while still keeping my head down. I didn't hear any footsteps coming towards us so I raised my head a little to see through the windscreen.It was fully dark out now and the place had lit lamp lights all around the building so it was flooded with lights. We were still protected by the darkness because they didn't extend this far, but we could see everything going on there.There was a boy standing in front of the security guards, and even from here I could see how badly he was shaking. One of the guards’ guns was still smoking as he lowered his hand. He held up the package in his other hand and said something to the boy.“He must have fired to intimidate the messenger,” Blaine murmured. I looked over and saw that he was fully dressed again and in

ABIGEALYOU COULD cut through the tension in the room with a butter knife. Every second that ticked by was punctuated by a roll of sweat down Steven's face and into the collar of his white shirt. He also knew that every second ticking by was taking time off his brother's life; I couldn't imagine the stress he was under.Finally he pivoted and left the banister. I thought he had left until I saw him appear on the ground floor, moving towards us with a determination that had me warily raising my weapon and aiming it at him. He shot me a disdainful look. “Relax. It's not like I could try something and it won't end up in a bloodbath.”He took a pen out of his jacket pocket and scribbled something on the document before handing it over to Jordan. Jordan took it, looked down at it and frowned. I looked over and realized he hadn't signed the document but had instead doodled a hand with the middle finger held up.Before any of us could react, Steven yelled. “Marcus. Now.”I whipped my head

ABIGEALTHE BRIGHT shaft of sunlight pierced through my closed lids. I let out a groan and rolled over, pressing my face into a pillow and back into darkness. I hadn't been able to fall asleep until four this morning and it had been going surprisingly well for a change.Until I got attacked by the sun.“I thought you were supposed to be some sort of trained soldier. The soldiers I know don't sleep in this late.” A voice I didn't recognise scolded me. I slowly lifted my head and looked in the direction of a voice. There was a woman standing beside the curtains, one hand still on the blinds and the other on her hip glaring at me with a look of heavy judgement.I was being judged by a Latina housekeeper.The day hadn't started and it was already strange.“You know many soldiers?” I asked as I rolled over. She gave a shrug. “I know enough.”“Then you know they don't sleep through the night, so I suggest you stop looking at me like that and get back to whatever it is you do.” I said in

ABIGEALWHEN WE boarded the jet for the return flight to Brooklyn, the staff lined up at the entrance to greet us. I caught someone staring at me and realized she was the same person who had walked in when the motion of the plane had made me fall into Blaine's lap. She had the same little smirk on her face as the last time and when I'd walked past her, I turned to look at Blaine. From the way he was trying hard not to smile, I knew he had caught the look. “I told you so,” I hissed.“For someone who doesn't care about a lot of things, you're thinking too much. I told you to let it go.” He said back.“What are you two whispering about?” Jordan asked without looking back at us. Blaine looked at me and I saw the intent in his eyes. “Don't you dare.” I warned with gritted teeth.He kept looking at me as he raised his voice. “Nothing, really. Abigeal here is just a little paranoid about a small matter.” He smiled at me.I was going to kill him.“Abigeal? Paranoid?” Melanie arched her b
