Chapter 114

Reece

After kicking Hannah out of Dylan’s room do I move to head back for Dylan. Dylan still tied to the bed as I move to help free him. My hands quick to undo the gag before working on the bindings that held him.

“Thanks man, I owe you” whispers Dylan.

“Don’t mention it. Literally. But your in some serious trouble dude” I say, now freeing one of his arms. My hands now working on the other.

“What do you mean?”

“What I mean is…. Hannah fucking texted Ella every little thing she planned to do to you” I say, quick to explain to him what Caleb said to me or at least tried to remember.

“What?”

“Yeah, afraid so. Now Ella’s mad at you. Because she thinks you cheated on her with Hannah”

“Yeah, I get that part. But you clearly know I didn’t. I told her that I had no feelings left for Hannah. I only want Ella and our children.”

“I know that dude. But now you’ll have to explain that to Ella once we’re home. Hannah really did a number on her according to Caleb” I say. Dylan now free of his restraints.

Dylan now quick to remove the gag from around his neck as he then moves to rub his wrists. Hannah having had him tied like that for a while. Dylan soon moving to address his pants and then his shirt.

Silence now lingering between us. Neither one of us sure what to say to the other. That was until Dylan moves to speak again. “Did Caleb say anything else about Ella?”

“No, afraid not. He was to worried about Ella to say much. And like I said earlier, she was pretty upset about Hannah. I mean how the fuck did she even get in here to begin with?” I ask now hoping Dylan would have answers.

Dylan sighing as he does. “That might have been on me actually.”

“What?”

“Yeah, you see…. After you and I left the bar last night I decided to come back to the room except…. I was already a tad buzzed and totally not paying attention to my surrounding because the next thing I knew I was being hit over the head with something hard and next nothing”

“Christ Dylan. Are you okay?”

“Yeah, except I didn’t get a good look at who hit me though. The hit happened out of know where. The only thing I remember is stumbling and then someone moving to help me. Next thing I knew I had Hannah all over me upon waking up” explains Dylan. Dylan almost guilty for what he did.

“Damn it. That bitch really took advantage of you didn’t she? At least tell me you two didn’t fuck one another?”

“What? NO. Of course I didn’t. I’m not that stupid to go as far as that and hurt Ella completely. I’d rather be dick less than do that to her” remarks Dylan, offended that I even suggested that to him.

“Whoa now, take it easy Dylan. No need to go that far. I was only asking given your current condition upon entering the room” I counter. Not wanting nor needing Dylan to chop off his own dick. A part of me knowing that he wouldn’t be someone to kid about that unless he meant it.

And most times he did. The room silent yet again. Dylan and I in complete silence until suddenly my phone moves to ring again. My hand quick to see who it was this time.

Caleb.

Arching an eye, I move to answer the call. Caleb now on speaker for Dylan to hear as well. “Caleb? Dylan’s fine. I was just…..” I start only to be cut off by Caleb’s words.

“ELLA’S GONE!”

Upon hearing that does Dylan move to sit up. Our focus now on the phone. “What? What do you mean she’s gone? Wasn’t she with you?”

“Yeah. But when I returned to check up on her and bring her food, my room was completely destroyed. Like there was a struggle of some kind. I swear it. I only left her long enough to make food only to find her gone and my room a complete mess.”

“And where’s Alanna?”

“Don’t know. I can’t find her either”

“FUCK!” I practically yell. Our luck officially running out.

“Okay listen up. Dylan and I along with Hayden and Grant are grabbing the first flight home. Whatever you do, don’t do something reckless okay. We need to keep Ella and the babies in mind alright?”

“Yeah, alright”

“Good. Then we’ll see you soon”

And with that said, I move to end the call with Caleb. Neither of us prepared to hear that our woman was taken from right under our noses. Christ. How did that happen? And more importantly where was Alanna?

My mind racing to where she could have possibly been. Quick to shove it away as Alanna worked for our uncle. My focus now on Dylan who was trying to school his emotions and failing.

“You don’t think….” starts Dylan only to pause a minute later.

“Oh I’m sure it was him. And he’s going to pay dearly for taking her away from us. He started this and we’re going to be the ones to finish it. If it’s a war he wants, then it’s a war he’ll get” I move to say back. Rage slowly consuming me as I do.

Dylan

The moment Reece had ended the call with Caleb do I instantly begin to feel angry. Anger at Hannah for starting a rift between Ella and I. The bitch now putting me within a sticky situation with Ella and now Nicholas.

How in the world did he even manage to take her? Our home was heavily guarded. There’s no way he could have gotten in unless he had help.

The sudden thought of there being a mole within our home or worse Alanna begin consuming my thoughts. No. There’s just no way that Alanna would stoop that low to help Nicholas especially when she gave James a major ass whooping. Besides, she works for our uncle, Uncle Rian. He’d kill her if he thought she would turn on him.

Lost to my thoughts and my feelings do I fail to see when Reece moves to make a call. My focus still on Ella and where she could possibly be.

Be strong Ella. We’ll find you. Promise.

With that as my final thought do I move to climb out of bed. The need to wash Hannah off of me rising. The thought of Hannah stoop that low enough to make my stomach clench. The woman I once knew now gone and standing before me was a woman I barely knew.

A psycho. And one who probably helped in Ella’s disappearance too.
