CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT

KACEY POV

By the time I arrived home it was already dark outside. I found Mrs Jones pacing around on my lawn. She had a worried expression plastered on her face.

"Mrs Jones?" I called trying to get her attention.

Once she saw she looked rather relieved.

"Kacey I'm glad you're finally home. I have some bad News about Tatia."

"What happened to my daughter?" I asked, feeling the panic beginning to settle in.

"Don't worry I've already called the police and informed Anthony."

I stared at her in disbelief.

"The police?"

I could feel my heart thumping in my chest wildly.

"Where's my daughter?"

"Calm down."

"How can I keep calm when the police are involved?"

"Tell me what happened."

Mrs Jones nodded quietly. And I felt a little sorry for lashing out at her.

I sighed deeply.

"Just like you said I went to check up on her since she was home alone at first I thought she was okay since was playing some music in her room."

"But when I went to check in her room Tatia was gone. I searched the whole house and asked around if someone had seen her but no one did."

"This made me worried so called Anthony hours passed and Tatia didn't come back home so I decided to call the police."


"I'm so sorry Kacey I couldn't even look after a little girl like her."

"It's okay Mrs Jones you don't have to blame yourself thank you for informing the police."

Mrs Jones nodded quietly and left.

I went inside and to Tatia's room and I noticed that some of her belongings were gone. This made me more worried.

When I went back to my room I found a note in one of the drawers where I kept my old diary from college and highschool.

The note was in Tatia's handwriting.

MOM I KNOW THAT SNOOPING IN YOUR DRAWERS WAS PROBABLY A BAD IDEA BUT I FOUND YOUR DIARY AND I READ IT AS WELL. I'M SORRY BUT I JUST WANT TO FIND MY FATHER I KNOW THAT HE'S IN NEW YORK AND THAT'S WHERE I'LL GO.

I LOVE YOU.


I crumpled the paper in hand, shutting my eyes tightly because my worst fears were about to come true. I never wanted to go back to New York because I wasn't ready to face Liam Praise again especially after how things ended badly between us.

"She's gone" I muttered quitely when I felt someone's presence behind me. I already knew that it was Anthony even before he walked in because I knew his scent by heart.


"I know" he simply answered back.

"If you knew that she was gone then why didn't you inform me?" I asked while facing him.

"Because I didn't want you to get worried, Kacey , that's what I was avoiding."

"I'm already worried sick about Tatia so there was no point in hiding the truth."

He remained silent.

"Did you know that she was going to run away? I swear to God if you were involved Anthony I'm going to kill-"

He crushed his lips on mine, silencing me.

Suddenly everything around us froze and the whole world ceased to exist because of this man's touch and what it made me feel.

He pulled back with a shaky exhale and cupped both of my cheeks.

"Anthony…"

I could feel the heat in my cheeks when I looked at him.

"I wasn't involved Kacey."

"Tatia is like own daughter and I wouldn't do anything that would put her life in danger I promise you."

I nodded quietly and looked away.

"I'm sorry for lashing out at you. I'm just stressed out because of what Tatia did and don't take whatever I said to heart."

"I know and we'll find her. I already booked us flights for tomorrow morning."

I cocked a brow at him.

"You're coming with me?" I asked curiously feeling a ray of hope in my heart because I wasn't going to be alone.

"Yes I'll come with you. Who knows, maybe you might need a friend to back you up when you meet Liam Praise."

"Thank you Anthony."

He pulled me into his arms and I sighed softly inhaling his masculine scent.

"Don't worry, we'll find her."

"Has she ever seen a photo of Liam?"

"No I don't think so because I never kept photos of Liam in the house."

"She just knows that he's in New York."

"Maybe she won't get far with the little information she has."


RONNIE POV

Even after graduating from the University I still craved him and his touch but things took a different turn and Res disappeared again and this time it was my fault. Everything happened on the night of my birthday.

FLASHBACK

My parents wanted me to go back home to celebrate my birthday but I didn't feel like celebrating because my life was a lie. I had lost my best friend Kacey and my relationship with Res was on thin ice mostly because I still continued lying to him about my secret identity.

It's been weeks and I've been avoiding him even on my birthday. I chose to lock myself inside my room because I didn't want to face him.

I curled myself into a ball after getting myself drunk. Maybe the alcohol would help me fall asleep so that this miserable day could finally be over.

I felt someone knocking on my door and I knew who it was before the door even opened.

He was here to add to my misery.

He turned on the lights and groaned in annoyance.

"What the hell Res?!" I yelled angrily, glaring at him.

He took in the surroundings and frowned at me.

"Are you fucking drunk?" He hissed as he grabbed the empty bottle of whiskey.

"Does it matter?"

"Ron."

"Don't call me that."

He grabbed me by the shoulders shoving me against the wall hard.

My eyes widened in shock and I realized he wasn't playing around with me he was really pissed at me.

"What's wrong with you?"

"You better let me go."

He tightened his hold on me, making me wince.

"I won't ask nicely."

"This is all your fault and I hate you."

I lowered my gaze.

"What?"

Tears spilled down my cheeks.

"I don't want to be your little sister Res."

I sighed softly.

"I want you."

"You don't know what you're saying Ronnie, you're just drunk."

"I envy those girls who always come out of your room because you've touched them."

I swallowed hard.

"I get jealous whenever I hear rumors about you sleeping around with other girls."

"Ronnie" he warned.

"Even if it's just for one night treat me like one of those sluts you're constantly fucking."

"Damnit."

Res crushed his lips on mine, silencing me. I wrapped my legs around his waist.

He pulled back with regret in his eyes.

"Look at what you made me do?"

"I can never treat you like those girls Ronnie because you mean a lot to me and those girls are nothing to me."

"Then don't reject me tonight."

"I can't…"

"Please Res. I really need this. I want you to be my first because you'll be gentle."

"There's nothing gentle about me if I touch you tonight I'm sure that you won't be able to walk the next day."

"Okay then don't be gentle Res fuck me as hard as you want."

"Ronnie."

My name from his lips came out like a plea. But I didn't want him to go.

"Stay the night, no one has to find out what happened between us, not even our parents."

"I can't contain myself anymore but I don't have any condoms with me."

"I'm on the pill."

He smirked at me.

"You don't know how long I've been dreaming about this moment Ronnie but I never imagined that you would be the one seducing me."

"I never thought that you were that type of girl."

"Let's just get this over with."

Res twisted my nipple in hand and I let out a moan.

"Ron."

I began to unbutton his shirt. I was eager to feel his naked flesh against mine. He held my hands stopping me.

"Let me do it."

I felt the heat in my cheeks and lowered my gaze to his erection.

"Like what you see?" He teased me.

"No, I bet it's a small dick."

He chuckled softly.

"You won't say that when I'm inside you."

I swallowed hard because it sounded more like a threat.

"Take off your clothes before I change my mind."

My nightgown pooled to my feet and I stepped out of my underwear. Res cupped one of my cheeks.

"Beautiful…" he murmured.

"I bet you say that to all the girls you've fucked."

"Actually you're the first."

Res pushed on the bed and I landed with a small bounce. He stood between my legs parting them.

"I never thought that I'd get to see this view."

He lowered his face to my sex and I feel the heat from his tongue.

"Res…"

"Don't interrupt me."

A whimper escaped my lips when I felt the burning between my legs growing intense.

"Resmond…"

"Ride me."

I began pushing my body against his face inching closer to my release until I finally felt everything within me give in.

Res licked his lips and positioned himself between my legs.

I could feel the tip of his cock rubbing against my entrance.

"You're a virgin right?"

I nodded quietly, still unable to find my voice.

"Then what I'm about to do is really going to hurt kid."

He thrusted hard into me and I let out a cry.

My lips were trembling.

"Resmond…"
