Chapter 27 – Asking for help.Anastasia KingPOVI’ve been home from work forever and I can’t stand it. The place is so messy now that there’s no space for anything not even another human being.I got married yesterday, and I don’t feel the wedding bliss normal brides do, why you ask because Axel’s gone out with some friends last night and hasn’t returned yet, River’s with his parents so I don’t know I expected.I don’t know why I assumed everything would be different. I assumed we would be like a normal couple; I don’t know why. I assumed we would share a bedroom or at least Axel wouldn’t go out with his friends on our wedding day.I sigh. I sit in bed when I suddenly thought of something. Axel never said we would be a normal couple. I just got stuck in my own head and assumed we would be. When we came up with this idea, I knew what to expect, that’s why Beckett and Damon wanted to help me seduce Axel.Maybe I should try their advice. I should give them a call. I pick my phone up fro

One the way to my parents place we checked out the house my mom told me about, the house is three blocks away from them. I could visit my mom when I wanted to, the house is nice, but I do not know about the space. It is a three bedroom, if we have a three bedroom, one for me, one for River and one for Beaton. Then where will the twins sleep? I know my parents’ thing Beaton and I sleep in the same bedroom. but we do not… when they visit, we tell them, Beaton sleeps in a different room because she feels sick a lot and gets up throughout the night. Beaton has not said anything on the way to my apartment. I am currently waiting for her to get ready; I look around the room, the place will not last much longer. The place is beyond cramped. I cannot even move without knocking things over.“Can you help my zip up please?” I hear Beaton’s voice, I look up to see her st

Chapter 31 – Ana overhears Gracie on the phone…Anastasia KingPOVGracie and I have been hanging out at her apartment for about an hour now, we’ve talking about what we’ve got planned for the future. Gracie has plans to be an EMT now because she doesn’t like the station, she’s at. I one hundred percent support her in whatever she chooses to do. That’s what friends are for.We went shopping this morning. I got a couple of things for the twins now that I know the genders. I got a couple of pillows and blankets. What shocked me most was how happy Gracie seemed today. I think she’s got a boyfriend. She wouldn’t tell me, but I’m not going to push her into telling me, I’ll wait until she’s ready. She went crazy with shopping she got a couple of sexy lingerie and a bunch of low-cut dresses and went to get her hair done.It was a bit weird for me, because I couldn’t step into the salon without feeling the urge to throw up, so I waited in the car. Her hair looks really great. She bleached her

Chapter 33 – The arrest. Gracie Almada POV What’s taking them so long? Why aren’t they here yet? Anastasia’s brothers and Axel just left my apartment. Glad I wasn’t dumb enough to actually bring her here. Gavin’s bright idea to bring her here was wrong. I knew Axel would come to me. Honestly, I didn’t think he loved Anastasia that much. The panicked look on his face told me he loved her a lot. Which worried me. He wasn’t going to give up until he found her. I clench my fists in anger. If she wasn’t a damn busy body. Listening in on my phone call. She thinks I didn’t notice her behind me when she tried to back away? I don’t know how much she heard, but the way she rushed out of here, I knew she knew I wanted to kill Sadie. She couldn’t live. I was going to wait until she gave birth to kill her, but I couldn’t wait any longer. If she told anybody I would be as good as dead. If it wasn’t for my fast thinking and asking Gavin to get her before she got to her dad’s place she would h

Chapter 35 - Anastasia is found.Two hours earlier…Axel KingPOVI look at the asshole in front of me, giving me attitude. I wanted nothing more than to strangle him, even if he didn’t know where Beaton was, he deserved everything coming.I open his file. “So, Gavin Granger…” I pause looking at him. “You know you’re going away for a very long time… You’ll die in here, there’s no way you’ll see the outside of a jail sell for the rest of your sick life.” I tell him calmly.I promised how the police chief I wouldn’t kill the guy or blow this case. We’ve been working on getting these guys for months. I wanted nothing more than to nail them, knowing they know where Anastasia is, is the only reason I haven’t tried to kill him yet.“You want to know something funny?” he asks with a smirk on his face.I humor him. “What?” I sit back crossing my arms.“You’re going to regret this… I’ll be out of here in an hour tops.” He crosses his arms mimicking me.My smile widens. “God you’re stupid…” I t
