Running

When we leave there are men everywhere but no one is coming here. Mikael takes us behind the cottage, and I gasp when I see a body brutally mutilated. How can someone kill him like that? I glance at Mikael who looks unbothered by the sight, and now I see a lot of them piled aside, those were guards looking after the girls. Resisting the edge to throw up, I continue walking, taking a deep breath. When one of the dead man's radios starts to ring, Mikael gets it
“ what are you doing?” I hiss quietly, the girls are watching us scared, he signals me to keep quiet
“còmo estàn las niñas?,” he looks at me expecting me to say something, great he can’t understand Spanish, I sigh telling him ' they are asking about the girls' I whisper but he is dumbfounded.
“ todo es Bueno,” I whisper, trying to change his usual accent. The girl's muffle laughs but he sounds terrible.
Mikael leads us deep into the woods, using the back roads of the estate and soon, we reach the tarmac and he stops a container truck.
“ Go to the embassy,” he tells the girls as we help them in the truck and close the container once they are all in but leaves space enough for air.
Mikael grabs my arm and takes me to the passenger seat.
“ Get in but don’t go with them,” he says, I glance at him stupefied, and he sighs.
“ They will take you back to him, have you forgotten Omario is a politician now?” he reminds and I nod, he’s right if I reach the government, he will know about it.
“ But how about the girls?” I ask, concerned.
“ They will take them back to their countries, Mario won’t get involved in this, he wants to be governor so badly,” he tells me, opening the door.
“ And one thing, keep the bracelet safe, it’s very important to my Clan,” he whispers.
“ Then why did you take it, why were you going to give them if it’s as important as you say,” I ask curious, his eyes darken and I gasp.
“ I was going to give it back to the rightful owner once I got what I wanted from Tai,” he closes the door with force. He might have helped but I don’t trust him. My eyes dart to the beautiful bracelet In my bag, and I sigh. I try to ask how he will get it back but he's gone like the wind. The driver looks oblivious to whatever is going on and drives.
Soon, I begin to see more vehicles as we approach the city and the driver park.
" Get off," He orders.
I do that quickly and run into the woods where I know Mario's people won't find me.
The sun is coming out and I keep heading North to the airport.
I have been running for what feels like forever and my fucking legs hurt.
Almost there, I put my hood over my head and hold my back bag tighter, looking down and walking fast. I need a plane to Crescent stone city where they will not find it as Mikael said.
After selling all my jewelry in a pawn shop. I managed to buy a plane ticket since I already have my passport but there a lot of people are going around and others I recognize from the Cartel, showings people a picture probably mine. I crouch down next to the woman at the counter, the plane does not leave for about thirty minutes.
I sigh against the counter on the floor, checking for messages from Troy but nothing yet.
What should I do when I get there, I have some money right now but it won’t last long, I’ll need more.
I check on my phone it’s ten more minutes and the plane departs, slowly standing up from my hiding spot, I come face to face with Norris. His lips form In a smirk coming my way and talking on the small radio, I run, pushing people out of my way. Looks like I lost him, I glance over my shoulder again to check again when I hit a wall but when I glimpse up to see a pissed-off face, no, a tall handsome man with outstanding green eyes, brown hair, and an athletic body. The man doesn't say a word, just staring at me intensely, and my breath jolts. He helps me up, causing tingles to erupt on my hand and I take back my hand as if it burns, the man is shocked by this and takes a step back, his hot gaze still on me and his eyes turns a shade darker.
“ Watch where you going sweetheart, you might hurt yourself,” His voice is deep and sexy, as if his body alone isn’t enough to make my lady parts throb, now he has a french accent!
my gaze sways to his body, and I lick my lips.
“ I’m sorry, I wasn’t looking,” I tell him, blushing a little.
“ Clearly,” he responds, pointing at his broken laptop, it must have fallen out of his hands when I bumped into him
" I am... sorry," I hesitate not knowing what to say. I bet they were important things on it, he looks at his wristwatch and walks past me like I am invisible,
“ Jeremy!”
I watch as he makes a left turn in a secluded area. I don’t know where Norris has gone, but I’m sure he hid or alerted the others. I frown, looking down at his broken laptop, next to it is a white handkerchief and a small wolf on it in the corner with symbols N.W. I pick it up bringing it to my nose, it smells so good, and I find myself smiling and going in that man’s direction.
This part of the airport is calm and nicer, with impressive private planes, I pass the small gate but a voice stops me from going further.
“ What are you doing here? This is a private area,” A woman asks rudely. Eyeing me up and down. I look dirty in jeans and a hoodie. Scrutinizing me in a way I don’t like, she roughly grabs my arm to kick me out but I yank it back from her.
“ What’s going on?” She bows to the young man who approaches us, he's tall with sharp features and his blonde dread locks are falling to his forehead. He looks like the man I bumped into but the younger version.
" Hello, pretty lady," He smiles at me and I smile back, he's smile is contagious.
" Hi!" I wave at the kid and to the rude lady, I glare;
“ I was about to tell you that I’m here with someone before you harshly grabbed my arm,”
" Who are you with then?" She scowls and I put at the good looking man I met early, the woman's eyes widen and the young man tries to protest but cockily look at him,
“ Don’t you have elsewhere to be?” He shakes his head, pointing at the huge plane a feet from us. “ I leave in five minutes,"
" And what is your relationship with M.Wulfric?”
“ He's my husband,” I say with a smirk. Color leaves the woman's face and she bows to me repeatedly,
“ Forgive me, Ma'am I didn’t know. I was just doing my job,” she says in a gentler voice. I take this to my advantage.
“ It's alright, but please be kinder to people or else, I'll have you fired, now get me a glass of water," I order
" Yes, madam," She bows and leaves to get my water.
“ I didn’t know that man is married,” Murmurs the kid who was looking at us with interest.
“ Well, yes,” I reply bodly. The woman is back with water and I drink it greedily.
“ Leave me now, both of you,” I shoo them away with my hand. It felt good pretending to be someone else for a while. I think I like being rich.
I chortle to myself but stop when I realise the kid is still here.
" What, go away," I hiss, hating the way he's looking at me. He suddenly grins and grabs my hand, taking me to the direction of the gorgeous man.
" Where are you taking me?" i ask.
“ I’m taking you to your husband,” he answers calmly. OH NO. I need to leave,but the man is already coming to us, looking majestic with hands in his pocket, I once again find myself guilty of thinking dirty.
“ Nik!” the calls fondly.
“ Jeremy, the plane is ready, I’ve been waiting for you,” he says in a momotone.
“ Be glad I’m late, look who I found,” Jeremy grins.
“ The woman who destroyed my laptop? Jeremy do you know this man?” he asks.
“ Yes, she's your wife," He announces, amused. " Brother, you should have told us that you secretly tied te knot,"
