Chapter 43 ~ My fault

ATHENA

Tears threaten to spill, but it's not sadness I feel, it's fear.

I'm shaking, every muscle in my body on high alert. My mind races, trying to piece together what's happening, but the thoughts come out disjointed, scrambling against each other.

I watch as Alex speeds off.

Where is he going?

To Arnold?

Or Zayan?

"I didn't think I'd be baby sitting you today. What happened?" Luca asks me.

I look at him with tears in my eyes.

"I... don't know. Some Arnold guy-"

Luca's expression changes.

"Arnold Brown?"

"I think so."

He steps closer, his expression turning serious making my heart beat even faster, should I tell him about Zayan too?

"What did he do?" Luca asks.

"He just made some remarks about me." I mumble unsure if that's reason enough to explain why he looked ready to kill.

Luca curses under his breath,

"Listen, I need you to go inside the house. Don't leave or open for anyone, do you understand?"

"Why... what's going on?"

"I have to go after Alex, so he doesn't do something reckless."

"Reckless like what?" Fear grabs my already pounding heart.

"If you don't tell me then I won't go in there. I'd rather go with you." I protest.

Luca releases another curse. "Athena, I need you to go inside so I can bring your man back before things get worse." He explains and I hate how he's making me feel like a damn kid.

What's with these men?

"What things?" I push.

Luca sighs, running a frustrated hand down his face. "Athena, don't do this right now."
