Chapter 16Sadie WildePOVWhen I woke up in the hospital bed last night, I could not help thinking how lucky I was. They could have killed us, I could have died if they really wanted to hurt us, I would have been hurt a lot worse than what I was.When I woke up my first thought was not how lucky I was, my first thought was where Beckett was. My last thought before they knocked me out was always if I would ever see him again.But it’s been a whole day and I haven’t seen Beckett yet, everyone from out station has been over to check on me but Beckett.Dante told me they only realized something was wrong because Beckett realized we were gone too long. He searched for us everywhere, he even asked for help from his brothers to look for us.They haven’t found the men who raided the ambulance van, but I don’t think they’ll ever find them. that was a planned raid that much I know; from the look of the parking lot they planned down to a tee. the fact that they signal jammers was just as alarmi
Chapter 17Beckett KingPOVStanding in front of Sadie’s apartment reminds me of the first time I visited her place, it was the reason for the current pain in my chest. The reason I had an embarrassing panic attack in front of my older brother yesterday.He is never going to let me live that down. The fact that he needed to rope Axel into helping me is what made it even worse. Axel would not stop teasing me this morning. The worst way to wake up believe me. what surprised me most was how worried my father was, Damon told me he sat by my side the entire night.So why am I here right now? Why am I visiting the woman who is the reason for that pain? Because I am a damn sucker for punishment. I almost turned and left ten times already. Why do I feel this way? Why am I even here? why do I still want to be close to her even if she wants nothing to do with being with me.I sigh and walk into her building, I greet her doorman like I always did, everyone is friendly as if they don’t know my he
Chapter 18One week laterSadie WildePOV“Why don’t we go out for a couple of drinks? We haven’t been out in forever.” Tia says over dinner.I shrug my shoulders. I wasn’t really in the mood, I can finally return to work tomorrow and Beckett can finally stop avoiding me, he hasn’t returned a single one of my calls or messages.“Come on, don’t be such a party pooper.” She pouts.Dante kisses her lips, and she smiles at him.I’m kind of annoyed with them right now, especially since it seems Beck is going to say no to me. They’re acting all lovey dovey, before this wouldn’t annoy me but for some reason its ticking me off.I change the subject and ask Dante about what’s happening at the Station. He tells me everything is going well, the guys are working doubles, so they always have one of them on the ambulance because of what happened to us.“Chief says they’re trying to work on a system to stop hijackings, or a better system that alerts police when an ambulance vans GPS goes offline.” D
Chapter 19Beckett KingPOVSo here I am standing in front of Sadie’s apartment once again. After the talk with Lex and Dan and then with my father. I knew I was making the right decision. So here I am standing in front of her apartment once more, one week later.I ring her doorbell.She opens her door happily and hugs me again like she did when I saw her last week.She lets me in, and I go to sit on the sofa. She was watching Naruto. “You can watch this finished if you want. We can talk after.” I tell her.She shakes her head. “I’ll watch it finished after we’re done talking.” She says.I nod. “Okay…” I hide my smile when I see her anxiously tapping her foot watching me.“So have you thought about it?” she asksI nod. “I have…”She narrows her eyes at me. “And what do you think?” she asks“We can start sleeping together again, but I have some conditions we need to follow…” I tell her.She frowns. “Why do we need conditions? What is this some type of contract relationship?” she asksI
Chapter 20 Sadie Wilde POV FLASHBACK “Come on this is crazy Hunter let me go” I try to reason with him. he has locked all the doors of the house, I’m stuck here. He scoffs and crosses his arms. “I do not believe you. As soon as I unlock that door you’ll run for the hills, and I’ll never see you again” Hunter looks at me with mistrust. He has every reason not to trust me. As soon as he unlocks that door I’m moving in with Tia and I plan to never see him again. “Hunter…” I try again. Hunter has lost his damn mind, he tried to kill me and him when I broke up with him while we were driving home. He cheated and my only crime was to trust him now his locked me in our old apartment when I tried to get the last of my things. “Hunter if your bosses find out about this you’ll lose your job, come on be reasonable…” He glares at me. “Shut up. Do not forget I have a gun.” He reminds me. “I know you don’t believe me but I love you I do, just come Hunter unlock the doors, I’ll do anyt
Chapter 21 Third Person POV Sadie walks into her apartment after her run. She places her keys in the tray, she sees the key she gave Beckett there as well. she could not help but smile, she was excited to see him. Today was one of those days, so she needed a little down time, watching a couple of movies with Beck eating take out sounded like the best thing in the world. Especially after last night’s disaster. She had no idea what she did wrong, but Beck looked upset. She tried sending him a few text messages last, but he only responded to those later that night. He did say he was going to have dinner with his parents but she didn’t think it would go on until ten in the night. Then she remembered all this brothers and him were all big, so they must eat as much as Beck did. Beck ate a lot, he worked out before and after every shift, he cared about his body but he burnt way too many calories if you asked me… She thought to herself. She could not imagine Beckett even bigger. His brot
Chapter 23 Beckett King POV It is a late Sunday afternoon, Damon took my mother and Jessica to the grocery store to get a few things. Axel took Anna God knows where. I have no idea how Damon could trust Axel with Anna; I wouldn’t trust that child with my Pinky toe. Anyway it leaves my father and I alone in the house which is rare in itself. I walk down to the living room, I wanted to speak to my father, rather ask the old man’s advice. The last time I asked my old man’s advice was when Damon convinced me my balls was going to explode because they seemed bigger. My father first laughed at me before he beat Damon for messing with his little brother. After that I quickly realized I preferred asking advice from my older brother than my father. but lately my older brother has been acting like his on his period. One would think he was the pregnant one. I sit beside my father, the old man grunts but says nothing, I switch on the hockey game. My dad continues to read his newspaper. The
Chapter 24Sadie WildePOVIt was Monday morning, I was at work, yesterday Beckett took care of me, when I was plagued by period pain, I know his naturally sweet but, Beck has been acting unnaturally sweet recently. He is kissing me on my shoulder when we wake up in bed together, buying flowers, taking care of me when I’m on my period, if I’m not mistaken not even boyfriends and husbands do that.But when I really think about it, it’s just who Beck is, his momma raised him right. Maybe that’s how his mother taught him to treat all woman. Its so different to how I grew up, my father and mother loved each other but my mother and father barely talks to each other, my father was the cook in the house, my mother is a defense attorney so she spends most of her time and work, my father is a high school science teacher, so growing up my father was the person Vance and I went to for advice, or when we were having trouble with something.I’m sitting outside across the street from the station, t
