Bound to my Enemy novel Chapter 141

Chapter 141: Chapter 141.

I gesture toward the door.

"Go."

They both stand.

Thomas reaches the door first, Aaron follows closely behind .

Then something occurs to me.

"Aaron."

He stops and turns.

"Yes, sir."

"Stay."

Thomas glances between us briefly. Then he walks out without a word, closing the door behind him.

Aaron waits as I study him for a moment.l

Then I say, "When Elaine wakes up, you’re taking her to her brothers’ house."

He blinks surprised:

"...Sir?"

"You heard me."

"Yes, but....."

"You’ll take Marcus with you."

Aaron nods slowly.

"And two vehicles behind you."

"Yes, sir."

The door opens again before he can say anything else and thomas steps halfway back inside.

"You’re sending Marcus?" he asks. I want to question him on eavesdropping on my conversations but I decide to fight my battles one at a time.

"Yes."

Thomas frowns.

"But we need Marcus here."

"No, we don’t."

"He’s your primary close protection asides from me."

"I’m aware of that ."

Thomas crosses his arms.

"Then why are you sending him away with her?"

Because if someone tries to come after her again, Marcus is the only one in this house asides from Thomas I trust to make sure they fail.

But I don’t say that.

"She’ll have Marcus."

Thomas shakes his head slowly.

"Zane....."

"She’ll have Marcus."

The tone in my voice ends the argument. Thomas stares at me for a moment longer, then he exhales.

"...Fine."

He steps back out into the hallway.

Aaron looks between the door and me.

"You want her there today?" he asks.

"Yes.

Aaron nods once, then he turns and leaves the office the door closing behind him the room finally falls quiet.

I sit down in my chair and stare out the window at the pale light starting to creep over the horizon.

Today is going to be a long ass day.

Elaine’s POV.

I’m finally going to find out who’s telling the truth. Thay thought stays with me the entire time we walk out of the house. The morning air is cool, the kind that still carries the last bit of night with it.

Marcus leads the way toward the driveway where one of the black SUVs is already waiting with two more vehicles idle a short distance behind it with their engines runninf.

There’s extra security, just like Aaron said. I slow down slightly when I notice them.

"You weren’t kidding about the convoy," I mutter.

Aaron walks beside me, hands in his jacket pockets.
