Fractured by N.O Darling

Chapter 298

Once Harper’s initial shock of realising it’s me passes, a wide grin spreads over her face, and she steps towards me. A hand reaches out to grab her arm, stopping her.

“What’s going on he

Do you know him?” The woman with the wild eyes that announced breakfast asks as her fingers grip Harper’s upper atm.

I give Harper a subtle shake of my head, and she blinks before looking at the woman holding her back.

“No, Mandy, I just thought I saw nothing, it doesn’t matter,” Harper shakes her head, and it takes a gargantuan effort not to demand the woman release her.

“Don’t lie, little girl, I saw it too. Tell us who he is to you,” the gruff voice I recognise from last night says.

“How could she possibly know me? I’ve never seen this kid before in my life. I have probably been locked up longer than she has been alive,” I snort a laugh.

“Get Brent back here. I knew there was something off about these guys,” the guff man demands.

“No, wait. I’ll tell you,” Harper shakes her head.

“Go on then,” Mandy says.

“He’s your bond,” Harper blurts, and I almost choke on air

“Are you sure?” Mandy asks, her voice rising in delight

“Yes,” Harper nods, “I saw it as soon as I walked in here, it’s the clearest bond I have seen yet.

“Oh, this is wonderful. I knew those meditation sessions would pay off,” Mandy gushes, hugging Harper before turning her eyes to me.

She grins at me in what I think is supposed to be a seductive way, but it’s just terrifying. Her hand releases Harper and she reaches out to me. I scoot back in an attempt to stay out of her reach.

“Come on, Lucas, don’t be shy. I have waited a long time for you,” she smiles and attempts to flutter her eyelashes at me.

“I have to look after my friend, he needs to eat and get back to bed,” I say, gesturing to Robert, who is watching the whole scene unfold with wide eyes.

“Harper will help him, won’t you, Dear?” Mandy says.

“Yes, of course, but he doesn’t look like he can walk. Let me find Archie and Dillon, they can carry him,” Harper says, and Robert plays along, gripping his head and crying out in pain.

This is good. Harper is smart. She has just let me know that both Dillon and Archie are here with her, and she has worked out how to get her bonds and get back to my room with Robert. Now I just need to buy them enough time to port out.

“Thank you,” I say to Harper, before turning to Robert. “You should try to eat something and then this kid is going to have her friends take you back. Don’t wait for me, I’ll come and find you later, okay?” I say, hoping he

“Yes, you go, I’ll be fine getting back,” he says.

“will,” she nods.

Mandy slips her hand into mine and pulls me away from the communal area. I go reluctantly, hating every part of this. I just found my daughter and I can’t even hug her or tell her how much I love her. Instead, I’m letting mande Mandy take me to god knows where
