I nodded.
“Cheesy and Locke.” He shook his head.
“Fuck.” My chest ached, my stomach filling with dread that I had put them in the line of fire. “I’ll call their parents. When all of this is done, it’ll be me who tells them.”
Jaron nodded. “Tiny and his crew are here. We were fucking ambushed.”
He continued talking but I couldn’t focus.
The only thing I could see was Amber walking away with Will.
Amber
“Will, please.” I triedpulling my wrist from his rough grip, but his hold was too strong for me. “Just let me get my mom and we can leave. I’ll never bother you again.”
Once we entered the building, my heart started racing that I was now in an enclosed space with Will.
“Please,” I begged again, hating how desperate I sounded but I couldn’t help it. I needed to get my mom, whether she was dead or alive, and get out of there.
When I was alone with Will and the man I had come to learn as Price Davies, the corrupt mayor who had suddenly disappeared, I couldn’t help but notice how big the inside of the building actually was. It looked like your typical abandoned warehouse. There were tables with computers on them. Some even had weapons and others had sheets over them, hiding whatever secrets lay beneath the fabric.
“This could have been different.” Will’s voice pulled my attention back to him. “If only you would have been mine.”
“I didn’t know.” We had this conversation years ago. It had been the night before my wedding. Will confessed his love for me and it made me uncomfortable. I told him I was sorry but that I was marrying his brother. I thought we could have been friends, but he ended up disappearing for a while. He never even showed up to the wedding and Aaron was pissed. At me. Like it was my fault that I made Will fall in love with me in the first place.
“You did know,” Will insisted, tightening his grip on my wrist. “You had to have known. How could you not?”
“I loved your brother. Will, I’m sorry. I swear that I’m sorry, but you never told me how you felt until the night before my wedding. I—” I was suddenly slammed up against the nearest wall. The impact had been so hard, my head rang.
“I shouldn’t have had to tell you, Princess,” he murmured, his lips brushing along the shell of my ear. “You should have known. Especially when I took care of you after he died. I saw you in the hospital too. Did you know that? But Shawnee and your mom were always there. I could never visit you alone. You looked so helpless. So vulnerable. So innocent. Which we both know that you’re not.” His words implied something that wasn’t true.
“I woke up and I didn’t remember what happened,” I told him. “It took me a bit but yes, you’re right. You did take care of me, but I never hinted for more.”
“No.” Will brought my wrist up to his mouth. “You just wanted to fuck and that was it.” He bit down, the sharp slice of pain forcing tears to my eyes. “Do you remember how I held you while you cried over Aaron being dead? Do you remember how I consoled you because you lost the baby?”
My eyes widened. “How did you know that I was pregnant?” I hadn’t told anyone except for Aaron. Even when I thought the baby could have been Will’s, we never told him.
Will chuckled. “Just because Aaron and I hardly got along, didn’t mean he never told me shit.”
“He didn’t announce it until that party. You weren’t there. Did he call you? Text you?” I shoved against him. “Tell me.”
“I hate to interrupt this little reunion,” Price said, coming toward us. “But we’re going to have company rather quickly.”
Before I could ask any more questions, Will pulled me away from the wall and continued dragging me along with him.
“Will, please.” I had to run to keep up with his quick stride but the farther we got from the front entrance, the higher my anxiety rose.
Will suddenly stopped at a door. The movement had been quick, so I ended up bumping into him. He looked down at me, something flashing behind his dark eyes. “I loved you once. Maybe I still do. But now that you’re carrying babies that aren’t mine, it no longer matters.”
“You wouldn’t hurt them.” But even though I said those words, I wasn’t overly sure.
“I wouldn’t?” He tilted his head. “You don’t know me anymore. Maybe you never have.”
“Oh this is a fun story,” Price said from behind me.
“Aaron was gloating how he got you pregnant. Saying that all the times we had a threesome, his boys were stronger than mine.” His brows narrowed. “He was trying to make me feel like less of a man because of the shit he was saying.”
“Will.” I took a breath, knowing that what I was about to tell him could either work to my advantage or make things worse. “The baby could have been yours.”
