“Daimon, don't do anything stupid,” Rafe warned, glancing around to check we were still alone.
“You piece of shit, you better pray they give you a long sentence, because there will be no way you’ll live with me out here,” I threatened. “For as I long as I live, I will make sure you pay for all you did to me and my family.”
“Daimon?” Rafe pulled me off him and pushed me back.
Gino entered and watched us carefully. “Are you two done?” he asked us.
“Yes, I’m done.” I gritted my teeth as I watched a very pale Hugh, with blood trickling down his nose. The fucker was scared.
“Mr. Evans, if you’re done, then it’s best you go now, before I have to arrest you too,” Gino said, staring right at me.
“Daimon?” Hugh cried out. I barely stopped as I turned and saw him clinging to the bars. “I never meant for her to lose the baby. Had I known…”
A low growl began to reverberate through my body as I turned completely and was ready to lunge at him. “Come on. Let’s go.” Rafe grabbed onto my shoulder and pulled me away.Feeling My LoveThe person who ever said that time heals all was a fucking idiot. Addie and I both knew time did nothing when it came to true heartache. She and I both lost something so important that neither one of us could truly deal with the other. Addie had become somewhat of her former self, lost in her idiotic thoughts, while I delved into work, not wanting to deal with her or myself for that matter.
“Daimon, is that you?” Addie called out when I entered the house.
“Yes, it’s me.” After what had happened, I had a hard time leaving Addie alone. Both Ted, who I had removed from her security and promptly brought back under her orders and Jimmy, who I found to be the best match, were both hovering over her, neither one letting her out of their sights. My Addie would have hated it, but this Addie hardly ever said anything about it.
“Where were you today? I tried calling, wanted to know if you wanted to order in,” she said softly as she walked past me. I looked up to see Jimmy sitting at the bar stool watching us both. I nodded, signaling him to leave.
“I’m off, Ms. Evans,” Jimmy said.
“‘Kay good night, Jimmy,” Addie said, reaching for the pizza box that was in the oven and placed it on the counter.
“You didn’t eat?” I asked, watching her move about our kitchen.
“No, I was waiting for you,” she said with a half-smile.
“I saw Hugh today.” I watched her carefully. She stopped for a mere second, then started up again, cutting into the pizza.
“Oh,” she said under her breath.
“He admitted to everything. My lawyers and the D.A. are working together to see how to best deal with him. His dad’s working hard to get him extradited back to London so he can stand trial there. Apparently, Hugh’s afraid of the prisons here.” Leaning against the wall, I crossed my arms, still watching her intently.
“Do you want anything to drink with your pizza?” She placed two pieces on a plate.
“Addie, did you hear me?” I pushed off the wall and walked into the kitchen.
“I heard you, but you didn’t answer my question. Do you want anything to drink?” she asked again, her eyes that I always sought out were averted, avoiding any eye contact.
“Addie, look at me,” I ordered, but she resisted. “Addie,” I said more forcefully.
“What?” Finally, she met my eyes.
“You need to deal with this. You can’t bury it like you’ve done in the past”
“What? Should I deal with it the way you are?” she fired back. “Have you dealt with it, Daimon? Because from the looks of it you haven’t either,” she attacked.
“I’m talking to you right now. I’m not hiding away with some smart-ass snide remark. I’m here in front of you talking to you about the man who took away our baby. So, yes, I’m dealing. You? What has my Addie done but revert back to her old fucking ways,” I said bluntly.
Addie squared herself off and narrowed her eyes. She peered up at me. I could tell she wanted to say something anything, but nothing came out of her mouth, not one word, not one peep as she stormed off.
“That’s right, Addie, run, hide away. Hide upstairs where the world can’t get to you. Hide, Addie, hide!” I shouted, my eyes tracking her running up to our bedroom. Drako barked at me, telling me to stop, but I couldn’t. I couldn’t stop. I wanted Addie to start being herself again. She wanted to stay with me; she even said she didn’t blame me.
“So you want me in your life? You didn’t want to leave?” I said loudly. I opened the door and found her sitting on her side of the bed. “Then, my beloved Addie, you’re going to have to deal with me.”
