Chapter 147
Everly POV
Another Four weeks later. “Keep your eyes closed,” Valen said as I walked blindly with my hands out in front of me when I heard Macey and Zoe’s voices.
“Is that Zoe and Macey?” I gasped, trying to lift Valen’s blindfold over my eyes. He slaps my hand away, and I reach out blindly before slapping someone.
“Ouch! That you Everly?” Macey asks. Valen blindfolded me before we left and refused to tell me where he was taking me.
“Oops, sorry,” I tell her.
“Wait, are you blindfolded too?” I ask her.
“Yeah, and Tatum sucks with directions. I tripped over the gutter back there,” Macey growls.
” My bloody knee is killing,” she growls. “Kids slow down and away from the paint; it’s still wet!” Marcus screeches just as the sound of their voices reach my ears. A hand grips my arm.
“Glad I’m not the only blind one around. I was becoming paranoid he walking me off a cliff,” Zoe says, and I know it, her hand on my arm. It slides down to grip my hand and gives me a squeeze just as my hand finds Macey’s.
“Those pricks conspired against us!” Macey hisses. Though with them here, I had a good idea of where I was, which was surprising. Valen said the Hotel wouldn’t be ready.
He had every excuse to keep us away from this place, from a gas leak to plumbing issues and electrical faults. “I swear if they have ruined our hotel?” Zoe hisses, and I chuckle, knowing there would be blood.
“Maybe the cliff was a better idea,” Marcus mutters, and Valen laughs behind me. “Okay, can we take these off? We figured out where we are?” Macey says.
“One second, you have to lift your legs and step up onto the wall,” Valen says. “Wall?” I ask, shuffling my feet, not wanting to trip. “Shouldn’t be an issue for you, Macey.
You’re good at lifting ya legs around ya ears,” Tatum snickers, and she growls. “Language, you brute! Or I will jam your legs behind your head and test your flexibility,” she growls at him.
1 My feet hit something, and I know it’s the wall Valen mentioned.
“You couldn’t have walked around the wall,” “Na, too much entertainment watching you all trying to lift ya legs high enough,” Marcus laughs. All three of them laugh behind us, earning growls from us.
Valen grips my hips, placing me on the little wall.
It wasn’t very high yet, I wobbled, holding my balance, FRYCM? NL felt the girls wobbling on their feet too.
“Now stay there. And don’t fall, or you’ll ruin the garden bed beneath you,” Valen says. I sigh impatiently, wanting to take the blindfold off.
“Okay, you can all remove them now,” Marcus calls, and I rip mine off at the same time the girls do. I untangle my hair from it before looking up. We all gasped simultaneously at the sight before us.
Our Hotel was restored to its former glory, but that wasn’t what made me gasp; I knew what the plans looked like.
I was shocked that the old fountain was gone that sat in the center of the driveway. In its place was a huge statue. Zoe cups her hands over her mouth in awe, and Macey squeezes my hand as we look up at ourselves. The statue was amazing.
