*Trigger warnings in this chapter.* He was right. It was all just a ploy for her to try to run. Not this time. We are too smart for her. Watching as she made her way down the road, I stayed hidden the best I could. I couldn't wait to see the look on her face. After seeing a light from the stairs opening and then darkness from them closing, I let her think she had gotten away. “Going somewhere?” I grinned, walking out from the back cabin. Turning around, her eyes went wide and she frantically tried to get off again. Ted Watching the camera as she made her way to the plane, a smirk came across my face. “She's going to get it.” I rubbed my hands, knowing what was waiting for her. I picked up my phone off the table and opened my contacts. “Capo?” They answered after the first ring. Damn right, they better answer as soon as I call. “Fallon, bring a few men to the main house and have the others tighten the perimeter.” I ordered into the phone. “Si Capo. How many?” “Three of you at t

Violet Biting my lip, I quiver at the thought of having his baby. It was not supposed to be this way. I should be having a baby with Mike. I need to know how far I am, but I need to keep it a secret from Ted. How? I have no idea. Splashing more water on my face to hide the redness in my eyes, I grabbed a towel and dried my face. I set the towel down and took a deep breath as I turned to head for the door. “Violet.” I heard from the other side of the door. I froze in my spot. It was too soon to tell him anything and I didn't want him catching on right now. Closing my eyes and taking a deep, sharp breath, I put my hand on the handle of the door and slowly opened it. “There you are.” Ted grinned as soon as he saw me. “Thought you ran again.” He pulled me to him, wrapping his arms around my waist. “...no.” I softly said, leaning towards him. I am too tired and weak to fight with him right now. “Why the sudden change?” He seemed surprised as he looked down at me. “You never come this e

*Triggers in this chapter* 1 Week Later Violet Waking up, I rolled over not feeling anything on the bed. Taking a deep breath, I know that I am all alone. I lie on my back, taking in the time I have to myself. Staring at the ceiling, I heard the door open. Popping my head up, I saw a woman in a maids uniform come in. “Morning ma'am.” She smiles, walking in with a try of food. “Here is your breakfast.” She sets it on the bed over my lap. “Thank you...” I said, confused. “Oh, forgive me.” She laughs lightly. “My name is Mary. I'll be assisting you while your husband is out of town.” “Out of town?” “Yes. He called and said he had an urgent matter to be dealt with and had me come over.” “Oh. When will he be back? Did he say?” I asked, trying to get answers. Now I know what all those phone calls he was getting were for. He had always been on his phone the past few days and didn't seem to like what he had seen. Thankfully, he did not take it out on me. He would just go to what I as

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

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
