The first couple of days after the incident I was forced to stay in the hospital while they made sure the bullet that went through and through didn’t do any permanent damage. I got lucky with it missing everything vital. They said with some time and physical therapy I would get full use back and shouldn’t have any lasting effects. Of course, everything they said I already knew since I took a similar bullet to the right shoulder during my time on active duty but I let them think they were doing their job, just because I knew Emma needed to hear it from a professional and not me. The bullet that grazed my side just required a couple of stitches and I was told to not twist that side until they healed. If I had my way I would have been out of the hospital the same day but Emma was being overprotective and bitched at me until I stayed. She even managed to get Steel on her side and the two of them played bodyguard to even make sure I stay in bed. Knox was the only one on my side trying to convince them that everything was fine and I didn’t need to stay but the second I tried to leave Emma burst into tears so I sat my ass back down.
During my stay, Emma only brought Alexis to visit once. She didn’t want it to be too hard on her. I completely understood even if I had wanted both my girls to be there with me. When Alexis visited, she cried and then refused to leave my side. She spent the afternoon curled up in bed with me as we watched the tv in my hospital room. The only reason Emma got her to leave was that Alexis had fallen asleep and Steel had to carry her out.
When I got home Alexis stayed by my side. She even joined Emma and me in bed and almost kicked Emma out at one point. I thought it was cute, she was worried about me but also happy to have both her parents home and safe with her. We both agreed to keep Alexis home just a little bit longer. Not because she wasn’t ready to go back to school, but because we felt better knowing she was safe at home. The fallout from Robert’s death and his ties being revealed soon were going to be big. There would be people targeting us for a while. Not everyone would know who was involved. The government promised to keep our names out of it but enough people knew the truth and those people that did. Well, they weren’t the right sort of people. We all made the decision to stay at the cabin a little longer. There was enough security on the place from us setting it up as a safe house and several members of the Chaos Brotherhood were put up in some cabins nearby for extra protection. Staying out of sight when the news dropped was highly recommended by the federal officers we had spoken to. They wanted to put us up in one of their safe houses but I reminded them that ours were much more secure than their own.
“Trevor,” Emma calls out from the other room. Her voice is filled with worry and makes me immediately stop washing the dishes and rush around the corner. When I do, I see Emma standing in front of the tv, remote in hand. Her body is shaking slightly as she shakes her head. The television was turned to the news. More specifically the six o’clock news with a breaking news story about Robert Delcoure.
“We knew it was coming,” I mumble in her ear after I approach her from behind and wrap her in my arms. “The world needs to know what happened, Baby.”
“I know,” she whispers, relaxing my hold. “I just wished it wasn’t so soon.”
“Turn it off if you want. We already know the truth,” I kiss her neck softly.
“I want to see. I need to see the things he did. You know I didn’t care much about his businesses, but I need to know just how evil and vile he was,” Emma’s voice comes out stronger, determined. “I think it will help me heal.”
“I think it will too.” I unravel my arms and move both of us to the couch to watch the breaking news story.
Breaking News Robert Delcoure Was Found Dead From A Business Deal Gone Wrong
Businessman Robert Decloure was found shot to death in an abandoned warehouse outside of Ashworth. Sources close to the investigation reveal that a business deal had gone sour and as a result, Robert was killed. Further sources revealed that Robert had several ties to some unsavory characters to gain his influence and money.
Many federal agencies are now involved in the investigation and all of the Delcoure assets have been frozen until such a time as the investigation is completed. Just last week Mr. Delcoure’s son, William, had been brought in for questioning. As of now, we at Channel Nine news have been unable to confirm if charges are being sought against him but he was released from custody.
Mr. Delcoure also has two surviving daughters. His eldest, Nora Silverton, advised no comment when reached out to for information on the investigation. His youngest Miss Emma Delcoure has been unable to be found for comment. Sources close to the family say that isn’t abnormal as she isn’t seen in public very often, choosing to live her life out of the eye of the press. The last time she was seen had been during the opening ceremony of an elaborate fight night that had been set up by Mr. Delcoure. The winner was to win Miss Emma’s hand in marriage. When we spoke to Mr. Delcoure for information if the fights would still continue he advised no comment.
It appears that is the theme surrounding the whole family. As the investigation continues into the Delcoure Empire we will bring you more. Stay tuned for further.
“Well,I guess that’s good the news couldn’t report too much. I hate that my kidnapping was considered a bad business deal but we did request for the federal government to keep that hidden so I’ll take it,” Emma shrugs, leaning into my side.
“It was what we asked for,” I agree, squeezing her shoulder. “I wish they hadn’t said those things about you though,” I growl, knowing I had every intention of asking Sky to make sure that news story gets buried.
“It’s the truth, I’m not seen often since he wanted to hide Alexis. The fight was the first time I was seen in such a public setting in years. I would have been curious too if they were suddenly called off that way,” Emma turns to smile brightly at me. I could tell she was truly okay with what the news had been saying.
“If you’re sure,” I answer hesitantly.
“I had expected the news to be a lot worse. I’m glad it wasn’t,” she explains, standing from the couch. “I think it’s time we go back. I love hiding here with you and our daughter, but she needs to get back to a normal routine. And truthfully I hate homeschooling,” Emma laughs as she places her hands on her hips.
Oh yeah, my girl is definitely getting back to herself. Thank Fuck.
“What? You mean you don’t want to keep having Steel steal her from the day and they run off playing outside?” I gasp, shocked at her words. The sarcasm was thick with my words. For the last week, Steel and Alexis have been thick as thieves. It’s a good thing I trust my brother to not get her into trouble I would be concerned. The two of them always cause some sort of mess when together.
“Oh, I’m sure that will happen plenty,” she laughs. “We can’t hide here forever, Trev. I’m finally free I want to live my life. I want to actually go to college, work a job, just do something.”
The passion in her voice makes me cave immediately. I can’t deny her that, I can’t deny her a damn thing. That was always my goal for her to be free and live the life that she wanted, with me of course. Now, she finally has every opportunity that she wants. I can’t wait to watch both her and Alexis thrive and enjoy living their lives. It will be the greatest gift I’ve ever been given besides having both my girls in my life.
“Okay, we go back then. Tomorrow,” I agree. I think she was expecting a little bit of an argument from me because her mouth was hung open ready to defend her position.
“Okay?” she hesitates.
“Yes,” I smile. “Never will I tell you what you can and can’t do. Even in high school, I knew I couldn’t control your decisions, I just tried hard to steer you in the right direction and keep you safe, Baby.”
“Oh my god, YES!” she squeals, running to jump onto my lap and wrap her arms around my neck. “Thank you for always loving and supporting me! I won’t let you down.”
“Little Vixen,” I groan as she grinds herself against my lap. I can feel my dick getting hard from her movements. Now, is not the time to be thinking about sex. Steel and Alexis are due back any minute and we were supposed to have dinner done.
“Tell me where you want to live. I’ll make it happen.” I try to distract not only her but myself with the question. I’m not positive she would want to go back to living in Evercrest with all the memories and the people that she knows. I have a house in Rockport that I think she would love, and with a little renovation, it will be perfect for Alexis as well.
“I don’t want to go back to Evercrest,” her voice softens, almost like she’s sad just thinking about it. “We deserve to start over somewhere new. It’s time for a fresh start and to start living the life we should have had from the start.”
