Letting go Chapter 53
Christian"I don't know. I've tried calling her but there's no answer." How the fuck has this happened? I feel Molly tense next to me but she doesn't say a word. I look up and catch Jack's eyes, he looks down at mine and Molly's joined hands then back up at me. I slightly shake my head silently telling him not to say anything and I'm grateful when he gives me a nod but doesn't say anything. If any of my other brothers have noticed then they aren't making it obvious."She can't be far, we got here less than fifteen minutes after the phone call. She's more than likely still on the farm. Maybe the Tornado was a good thing after all." Callum's words instantly piss me off. "How the hell could the Tornado be a good thing? What the hell is wrong with you?"He gives me a strange look but I can't figure it out. It's kind of pissed but also amused at the same time and only angers me more."Chris, there are not a lot of buildings still intact here which is shit but that also means that there's o
Letting go Chapter 54
MollySeeing Sophie cling to Christian with all she has is both heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. The love she has for her dad is clear to see and vice versa but the fact that she's been left here all alone in the dark by her own mother and needs her dad to make her feel safe again tears at my heart."Your ok baby girl. Daddy's got you. Your safe!" Her sobs ring out loud and I know that every single one of Christian's brothers wants to hug that little girl right now, myself included."Do you know where your mom has taken Katie, sweetheart?" Hearing her tell him that she was left alone and that Amy has taken Katie with her makes my blood boil. Christian told her we had the money so what is she playing at now? I've got a bad feeling about this.She shakes her head while hiccuping and wiping her nose with her hand. "I'm sowwy Daddy." Oh, my heart. "You have nothing to be sorry for baby, nothing ok?" She nods her head but she's two years old and properly doesn't really unde
Letting go Chapter 55
MollyWe've been sitting in Dolly's dinner for the past two hours. It's been just over three hours since Christian spoke to Amy and still the shock hasn't lessened. After Christian got off the phone with her John insisted that we come here to eat and talk it all out. We all ordered food and drinks but we've barely eaten or drunk anything, I think we're all still trying to take in what we learned from that bitch. Me, Tom, and Christian are sitting in a large booth with Zack, Jack, Callum, and John sitting across from us. I'm stuck between Tom and Christian and there both sitting as close to me as possible despite there being room on both of their sides.Once we got back into town Ruby came to meet us and once Christian had filled both her and John in on everything that happened and what Amy said Ruby took Sophie back to the town hall with her so we could talk and as soon as the orders were in John wanted another re-run of all the details. "Son, tell me again what she said after you
Letting go Chapter 56
Christian"Good morning, Chris." Tom's voice is groggy as he steps into the lounge where I'm sitting with a sleeping Sophie on my lap. I look at the clock on the wall and it's only 5.05 am "Morning. What are you doing up so early?" He stretches and yawns while walking over to the big puffy chair that's in the corner. "I couldn't sleep. That bed ain't the comfiest and between Callum snoring like a fucking dog and Jack talking in his sleep I've not had any more than three hours of sleep."I laugh at Tom's answer, the man is not wrong. Callum has one of the loudest snores that I have ever heard and Jack doesn't shut up in his sleep, then again he doesn't shut up when he's awake either. "Why are you two down here so early?" He looks down at Sophie as she lays across my lap with her thumb in her mouth and her teddy close to her chest. "She's been having nightmares all night, I think the poor girl only had about three hours sleep herself. The other two were getting disturbed when she was wa
Letting go Chapter 57
Molly"You run?" I nod my head looking down at my coffee before lifting my head to face her shocked face "You didn't say a word?" I shake my head still not speaking a word. "That handsome man kissed you and you just run without saying anything. Good lordy girly Women don't run from a fine man like Christian, they run at him, not from him.She picks up a magazine from the coffee table and starts fanning herself and I can't help but laugh. "Penny, you're naughty." She gives me a cheeky grin while continuing to fan herself. "Oh, how I would be naughty for a man like Christian Bowen." I snort out a laugh that has her laughing and I realize that I feel lighter than I have in days. "Oh, Penny, you are hilarious." She smiles wide as she puts the magazine back on the table. "When you get to my age sweetheart you learn very quickly that life is too short. You need to smile, laugh and love with all you have."Those are pretty sobering words and hit something inside of me. "I have loved them bef
Letting go Chapter 58
MollyI step inside the shower as the hot water steams up the glass door. I adjust the temperature so the water is as hot as I can stand. I'm not sure why I'm doing it. There's a part of me that's hoping that the hot water will burn away all the crap that has happened, while another part of me hopes that it will clear my head because right now I feel like it's going to explode. The past twenty-four hours have been more than anyone should go through, it's more than anyone should have to deal with.As long as everything goes to plan, then Katie will be back with Christian and his family tomorrow, which will be a huge relief, but for me, things are far from over. I still need to figure out this lawsuit and if it's all true, well, I'm not sure how the betrayal is going to affect me. Right now I'm managing to keep it at bay because I don't actually know the truth yet or have it in black and white, but if I find out it's true, which I suspect it is, then I'm not sure how I'm going to deal w
Letting go Chapter 59
MollyThe closer we get to the farm, the more nervous I become. I haven't seen Christian since I ran from him last night and I'm scared, scared of how he's going to look at me, scared of what he's going to say, and more than anything, scared about what I'm going to think and feel when I see him. I feel so torn, so confused, and my head is a mess.Then there's Jack. He, along with Tom, saw what happened. He was at the bedroom window watching us while Tom had gone to the front door after he heard Christian call after me. I already know how things are with Tom, but what about Jack? What if he thinks badly of me? I love Jack, he's like a little brother to me and I'd hate to have him think badly of me, to not look at me the same again."Stop overthinking things, baby girl. Everything is going to be ok." Tom's soothing voice brings me back to the present as we turn onto the final dirt road that leads to the farm. He reaches across and takes my hand in his, giving it a gentle squeeze. I nod
Letting go Chapter 60
MollyIt's been a few minutes since Tom spoke those words and neither of us have said a word. Tom got back in the driver's seat a moment ago, while I remained in the middle of the cab lost in my own world. He starts up the truck and continues his way to the farm while I stare out of the window in complete silence.Tom's words flaw me as the realization of what he means hits me full force, but surely that can't be right. "Are you trying to tell me that he likes me? As in likes me likes me? My throat feels scratchy and raw as I speak even though I've not long drunk a full bottle of water. He glances at me as he continues slowly driving down the long narrow driveway that leads to where all the others have parked."Yes, Molly, that's exactly what I'm saying. I know he's felt it since the moment he met you but he's hidden it under his distrust and instead made it seem like he hates you when that's really not the case." I scoff at his answer, finding it unbelievable. "There's just no way, T
