Since this is a VERY long chapter, I have a double update. Hope everyone has a great Christmas, Chanukah, and Kwanza!
TedAfter hours of meetings, I was finally able to check the cameras before my final meeting, seeing Violet by the pool. Man, she was so beautiful. I could not believe she was mine and soon to be the mother of my child. I sat there staring at her, the sun hitting that amazing body of hers, when I saw Cody come in the picture. “What are you doing?” I bounced my foot on the floor, growing impatient. He knows better than to do anything to her anymore. I could've sworn I made myself clear.Watching as he walks over to the lounger next to Violet, I sit back and see if he tries anything. Trying to make out what is going on, I see she is starting to become trouble. Since there was no sound, I could only assume she was being difficult.“One day. One day is all I ask.” I sigh, running my hand through my hair. I reached over and grabbed my glass, downing the last of the amber liquid.Watching as she gets up and walks into the house, I wait to see what Cody will do. Not seeing him move, I focus
Mike It has been two days. Two damn days since we got to this little town. After Nicole did her research, we came up empty. I was on the phone with my source as I was walking out of a little coffee shop down the street from our hotel when I bumped into someone. “I'm so sorry.” I said as I shook my hands to get rid of the spilled coffee. Looking up, I was shocked at what I saw. “Vi?!” “I'm sorry? Do I know you?” She asked me, confused. Why is she acting like she does not know me? This is Vi, my Vi. She has the same brown hair and blue eyes, just like I remember. “Come on Vi.” I chuckled nervously. “It's me, Mike.” I took a step towards her as she took one back. “Oh, silly me.” She smiled. There was something different about her smile though. It was not the same one that I remember. This one....this one was different. “Vi?” I looked at her closely. Then I saw it. She had a birthmark right above her lips. My Vi didn't have one. “Who are you?” I squinted my eyes at her only for her
*Triggers in this chapter.* Nicole It was early in the morning and I was on my computer trying to find the location of where Vi might be. I don't know how he did it, but Mike was able to get a number from his source for who we were following. I was tracking the number when I saw it was right down the street. “Alex!” I called out loudly. “What?!” He yelled, running into the room from the bathroom. “Are you okay?” He panted. “Look!” I exclaimed, pointing to the computer. I couldn't believe we actually had a location. “What's that?” He asked as he walked over and looked at the screen, clearly confused. “That phone I'm tracking. It's right down the street!” “Wait...” He reached for his phone. “...so is Mike.” He began typing on his phone. I sat there looking at the dot on the screen while Alex typed quickly on his phone. I watched as the dot stayed stationary for a few minutes before moving quickly down the road. “We need to get Mike!” I exclaimed as I stood from the bed. “They a
VioletWalking into the room, I was livid. First he lied to me about the pregnancy, which does not surprise me now, and two, telling me I have to behave while 'we' go somewhere. Like hell I was going to behave. I was going to show everyone who he really is. An abusive and controlling asshole. This was my one and only chance to get away from him and to get back to Mike and I wasn't going down without a fight.“Asshole.” I muttered under my breath as I walked to the closet and walked in. I grabbed a bag and just started to throw things in there when I heard the door open then close. Taking a deep breath, I continued what I was doing. Hearing footsteps behind me, I got tense, but tried not to show it.“Ma'am.” I jumped, hearing Mary's voice.“Mary?” I turned to see her, shocked that Ted kept her here. “What are you doing here?”“Sir wanted me to make sure you packed the appropriate clothes for the trip.” She said nicely.I scoffed and turned away from her as I mumbled under my breath. I
*Triggers in flashback. Skip if you don't want to read.* 2 Days Later Violet Waking up, everything hurt. My whole body felt heavy and it felt like someone was sitting on me. I tried lifting my arms to rub my face but, they would not move. All I felt all over was a searing pain and burn. My head felt like it weighted a hundred pounds and my arms and legs felt the same.
*Triggers for violence* Unknown POV We were all gathering in the banquet hall where we would be meeting with our 'boss'. This had been a long time coming and when I got the call from the last person I was expecting to, I got the other men and called a meeting. “Are you sure this is a good idea?” One of my men, Beckett, asked in a nervous tone. I don't blame him for being nervous, he was still young and
Mike It was early in the morning, the sun wasn't even up yet and I was in the gym. I needed to be ready for what was coming today. I was getting Vi back no matter what it took. If anything were to happen to me, at least I knew she would be safe with Alex and Nicole once that asshole is taken down. The only thing that mattered to me was her and her safety. Me, I didn't care what happened to me as long as Vi was safe. I was punching the punching bag when Alex walked in. “Hey man. You need to take it easy. You need all your strength for when he take him out.” He said as he walked
Violet Hearing the word “Angel” brought a glimmer of hope to my mind. I was so excited he was here, but I was also scared of what Ted would do. When I felt the cold metal of the gun on my cheek, I knew he was staking his claim. A million things were going through my head on how this would end. Would I make it out alive? Would Mike? What would happen to Ted after this, and would he come after me again? I was praying that we would make it out alive until I heard Ted talking about me. I turned my attention to the conversation and was not happy with what I heard. Mike was really trying to make a deal with Ted to work for him. What shocked me the most was when Mike said he didn’t want me, and Ted could have me. He was so calm, and his demeanor was relaxed. I guess he was really done with me and no longer loved me like Ted had said. I did my best to keep the tears from falling from my eyes as I looked at Mike with pained eyes. I couldn’t believe he was giving up on me. The thought alone mad
