21st July- Berlin, Germany
Warehouse
Letty’s POV
Standing in the warehouse surrounded by people I was beginning to hate more and more as the days passed, I struggled to keep it together. The day’s date was weighing me down, a constant reminder of the bad decision I had made a year ago. I had put my life and my baby’s on the line for a man who hadn’t deserved it.
I shook my head free as thoughts of Dom took over; I couldn’t afford to think of him right now.
“Something on your mind?” I stilled as I heard the whisper in my ear. A shiver of disgust ran through my body as I flinched away from the body pressed against mine.
“No.”
“Don’t lie to me Lia.” Demetri hissed as his hand curled around my hip, squeezing tightly intent on hurting.
“I’m not lying.” I hissed as I broke free of his grasp.
“You’re mine, do you understand? If another man ever touches you I will kill him, and you will pay the price too. You might do well to remember that.” He hissed again before stalking off.
I blew out a breath and sighed. Leon had left almost three weeks ago but not without a fight. I had been watching myself carefully but I had little doubt that I was being tracked by Demetri. He was cunning I’d give him that.
“Listen up we have another job coming up tomorrow night.” Demetri’s voice rang loud and clear throughout the warehouse. Any chatting stopped and when he had everyone’s full attention he nodded his approval.
“Tomorrow night is our next job. It has to be carried out perfectly. The boss is threatening to replace us if we can’t get this job right. He wants his money and I want mine, as I’m sure you lot do as well.” A low rumbling of murmurs broke out before silence fell again.
“I expect everyone here tomorrow at sundown, no exceptions.” He growled, his head swinging in my direction. I knew it was a threat directed at me, as did everyone else in the room. It wasn’t like I had ever missed a job.
“You’re mine tonight, I don’t give a damn if I have to take you by force. I want you.” He hissed at me as I walked passed him, hoping to make a quick escape.
“Fuck you.” I grit my teeth and swore at him. His eyes blazed with fury for a second before my head whipped sideways, a sting in my right cheek and a resounding slap echoed though the warehouse. I blinked in shock for a moment. He had never hit me in front of anyone before, only behind closed doors. He was pissed.
“Maybe I should fuck you here in front of everyone just to prove a point.” He hissed, yanking my face to his.
“Don’t.” I whispered, my will to fight evaporating with his words.
“Car now.” He muttered as he pulled me along, my stomach rolling with every step I took.
21st July- Canary Islands, Spain
Tenerife Hospital
Lotty’s POV
I watched from a distance as Dom and the female cop entered the hospital. I had been following Dom for days before Mia had gone into labor. From an inside source it had been a little girl, Alexis. Of all the days to be born it had to have been the ‘anniversary’. I had watched Dom exit the building in the early hours of this morning, head hung and barely keeping it together. For a short period I felt for the guy. He was clearly grieving, struggling to accept the fact that his love wasn’t here to see her niece being born. As I watched him sit on his car staring at the ground I almost stepped out into the light, revealing myself. In that moment all I saw was human hurting for the one he love and thought was dead. My heart broke for him and I knew deep down Letty felt the same way. She was just hurting and confused. I had almost walked up to the man and spilled everything we had worked for a year to keep. Almost.
Following him home, I watched from the window just minutes after he entered the house. I couldn’t help but sneer with disgust and anger as he turned straight into the arms of the blonde cop. Any sympathy went out the window for him as I watched the two wrap themselves around one another. Though a year had passed, for Letty the days weren’t getting any easier but looking at Dominic it was clear that his days had. Of all the days to move on it angered me that he’d chosen to taint Letty’s anniversary.
