Chapter 123

Before anyone spoke, lake moved from the side of the bed and carefully picked me up so I was cuddled in his lap. I knew he wouldn’t let me go anytime soon, so I got comfortable and waited for them to begin. Patrick and Josh moved closer to me, and then Patrick started talking

When we returned to the house, we realized you were gone. We immediately pulled up the security camera recordings and saw the man in a pizza delivery uniform carrying you out of the house and driving off a few minutes later.” Patrick let out a shuttering breath, reaching for my hand and kissing my palm.

Josh continued, giving Patrick a minute to collect himself.” Patrick was on the phone with his dad, and I was trying to reach Drew and Mike to tell them what had happened and to get them home.” Drew and Mike stepped closer, each resting a hand on my legs.

Taking a steadier breath, Patrick continued.” I got ahold of the dad’s, and lan began working on getting access to the traffic cameras; the others started. reaching out to friends and acquaintances they knew could be of some help: Patrick paused again, looking at me carefully.

“I’m okay, I promise,” I assured him. 1 remember ordering a pizza and going downstairs to meet the delivery guy. He injected me with something that knocked me out, and everything got fuzzy after that.” I shrugged, taking a deep breath, hoping to calm myself.

jake tightened his arms around me, kissing the top of my head. “Sweetheart, you were missing for four days before we rescued you, and we were all so worried,” Jake placed another kiss on my head, and left the others to continue the story.

“We began looking into anyone who had a grudge against us, and discovered you father had gotten released from jail, with lan’s help we began tracing his movements and found out he was planning on selling you to pay off a debt he accrued while in jail, Patrick continued.

“I remember some of that,” I said from Jake’s lap. I was awake for a little while and two guys came down to drug me, I was pretending to be asleep and one of them started to touch me.” Angry growles interrupted me, and Jake held onto me tighter. My father was standing at the top of the stairs and stopped them before one of them got more then a hand under my shirt, and told them not to touch me, that I needed to be ready to work. It makes more sense now though.” I could feel my body tremble at the thought of what could have happened to me. Josh took a seat next to his twin and took my hand.

“You’re sale now baby girl, no one will ever hurt you again.” Josh promised. I nodded laying my head against Jake’s chest again.

“Tan was able to find out where they were holding you, and we met up with the dad’s and their men. Along with Drew and Mike we surrounded the house, took out the men that were in the house, and rescued you.” Patrick finished. All the guys were watching me carefully, seeing how I would react the the news that my father was dead. Honestly I was releaved. If my father had gotten away I would have spent the rest of my life looking over my shoulder worried he would reapear, with some new kidnapping plot.
