She’s nonetheless huddled within the tub, gazing nothing. “Eliza,” I say.

She turns to take a look at me, her blue eyes full of tears. Her cheeks are glistening from the place tears have already fallen. “Are we secure?” she asks in a small voice.

Fuck. Are we? I do not know as a result of I don’t know if Adrian will present up right here and take her. “Yeah,” I say as convincingly as I can.

Or perhaps she’s just too exhausted to strive. “I’m going to search out you some garments, and ask Alba to cook dinner one thing for you.” Eliza lays her head on her knees and stares at me. “I received’t be lengthy.”

“What’s it?” I attain for the deal with, however flip to take a look at her.

“I’m sorry I haven’t been massive sister to you. I assumed I used to be doing the appropriate factor and defending you once I married him.”

Eliza’s eyes glaze over, and she or he merely smiles as she turns her head to face away from me. No matter it’s needs to be dangerous or she wouldn’t be so closed off about it. I stroll over and place a mushy kiss to her head. “I simply want Mother and Dad the place right here to assist.” Her chuckle is sort of diabolical. “What’s that imply?” I’m met with a headshake and silence, and I take my cue from her to simply depart this alone. For now.

I stroll out and head down to search out Alba.

What a fucking day.

My knuckles are protesting in ache however this fucker isn’t giving us what we want.

“Who paid you to chop the feed?” Ruben asks in a low voice.

The man from the desk on the shit motel is holding onto this pertinent data. Ruben flicks his gaze over to me. With clenched fingers I lay one other two into his ribs.
