Chapter 43
Killian
“What?” I had heard her but I couldn’t help asking. Because even though I heard her words loud and clear, my brain was having a hard time processing their meaning.
“Killian.” Xander grumbled out my name in a warning hiss.
I didn’t even flick my eyes towards him. He was warning me to calm down but how could anyone be calm when the love of their life has just admitted that they were raped and trafficked.
How?
I jumped up from the chair no longer able to sit still. I had to move, walk it off before I combusted. Pacing up and down the length of the rug I watched Lottie from out of the corner of my eye. Unlike me she was perfectly still.
Like a statue.
And I could see the pain in her eyes. The absolute horror of what had happened to her. It was like looking back at the sweet girl who I’d fallen in love with and watching that spark fall from her eyes.
I’d done that. If she hadn’t of thought I’d cheated then she wouldn’t have gone with him and all the horrible things that had happened afterwards wouldn’t have happened.
I sucked in a heaving breath. One that made my shoulders move around my ears and I let it out slowly.
It was meant to be a calming breath but it had the opposite effect.
Rage boiled my blood. I did one more length of the rug, turned on my heels and headed towards the door. “I’m gonna kill the son a bitch.”
“Killian, where are you going?” Finally Lottie moved. Jumping up like she had any chance to stop me. Xander got to me first. His hulking body blocking the
door way.
“Get out of my way.” 1 hissed through gritted teeth. I didn’t want to smack Xander down but I would if I had to. Someone had to pay for what had happened to Lottie, for what had happened to me as well and that person was Josh. And he would pay, screaming like Lottie had no doubt screamed.
“No.”
I drew myself up to my full height, and invaded his space. Xander didn’t even flinch. If it came down to violence I wasn’t even a hundred percent sure!
would win.
“Get out of my way. I need to-” hurt someone I added silently. Hurt someone to drown at the hurt i was feeling inside.
It wouldn’t change the past but maybe if he was dead then Lottie could-
“Please don’t leave me Killian.”
I stopped in my tracks at the sound of Lotties desperate pleading voice. It was so full of tears that my heart twisted.

Chapter 43
ppp
Tapping my chin to my chest ! took a deep settling breath. Staring at the carpet like somehow that would help
“Please.” She whispered again.
“I have to-” my shoulders heaved. “Thaye to make this right.”
God that sounded lame. I knew nothing I could do or say would make this right but I had to try and do something.
“He has to pay.”
“If you leave me now.” Lottie’s voice was stronger now. “I will never forgive you.”
I whirled on her, expecting to find her still sitting but no she was stood, hands on her hips and her face murderous. “What?” My own voice shook with anger, this time aimed at her.how dare she say that to me! Me who had given up five years of my life and entire future.
I narrowed my eyes at her angrily. Which was probably a shitty reaction but it was how I was feeling. “What did you say to me.”
She stood her ground. “I said if you leave me now I will never forgive you.” She repeated with not even a hint of a wobble to her voice. “Please don’t let him take you from me again.”
I stared at her with my mouth open. “Lottie-”
“No.” Stepping into me, she placed her hands firmly on my chest and my heart skipped a beat at her touch. “Don’t let him win. Stay with me.” Imploring me
with her eyes she reached one hand up to cup my cheek and the other reached behind me for Xander. Drawing him into our circle.
“Stay with us.”
I let out a ragged breath..
“He deserves to die.” I grumbled and instantly the abating anger was back.
“And you deserve to live.” She said softly.
I scoffed at her. “He won’t kill me.”
“No but prison will.” Xanders breath bubbled against my ear. “Lottie is right, if you go out there all guns blazing then you will get caught and-
I rolled my eyes at him.
“I can’t survive losing you again Killian. I forced you into that horrible place once before I won’t see it happen again. So stay with me, with us.” She reached up on her tiptoes and kissed my lips softly. “Stay with the people who love you.”
I blinked at her in shock and awe. She loved me.
“You” my voice snapped and I fell silent.
“Of course I do, I have always loved you. From the moment I first saw you.” Her small smooth fingers brushed against the stubble on my checks. “We both love you.”
“Debatable.” Xander muttered under his breath.

atted his arm. “Not helping Xander.”
I couldn’t help it, I chuckled. Typical Xander
“Stay with us, Killian.” She begged please.”
