Why all the lies?
You hired me because you knew I was dating Chester. You never thought I was good enough for the role. You tricked me into thinking you guys cared about me. You used me in the hopes I would be what you needed to bring Saint’s brother and father down.
If you three had just told me from the start, I would have helped you. Instead you chose to believe the worst of me, thinking I would turn my back on Saint’s cause.
Did you all laugh at me when you would go eachnight, thinking about how funny it was to fuck me and then face me every day at work?
You stalking me and wearing the masks isn’t even the part that hurts. I mean, I may not have known who you were but now that I do, part of me is happy that my dream came true and I got to know what each of you tasted like. I don’t wonder how your skin feels or what it would be like to be at your mercy, because I got to experience it.
The part I can’t get over is how you were going to use me. That’s the part that fucking hurts the most. In case it wasn’t clear, I quit. I cleared my desk out and Sharon will help you until you can find a new assistant. Don’t bother trying to come to my apartment, I’ve already booked my flight and I don’t plan on coming back for a long time.
I loved working with the three of you. Saint, you could always make me laugh and brighten any room you walked into. Chris, the way you listen to every word out of my mouth and pay close attention to my likes and dislikes is something I have never experienced before. Nick, we worked together for months and formed a bond like no other, you were there when I needed you the most and that will always mean something to me.
The three of you each gave me something I didn’t know was missing from my life but it's all ruined because of your lies.
Tears shine in her eyes but she’s too prideful to allow them to fall not wanting to allow us to see how deep her pain is. You can hear it in her tone how she is latching onto her anger so she doesn’t have to deal with the heartache we have caused her.
When the video cuts out, we all just stand here silently staring at Nick’s screen. My chest caves in and pain explodes inside me. I fucking love Chris more than anything. I love Nick as well. I may be dating his twin, but I love him just the same as his brother, but somewhere along the way I fell in love with someone else and judging by their reactions, they fell for her too. Now we’re left here with nothing but the ghost of her memory.
Nick’s the first to snap out of it. He pulls his phone out, then punches in a number and places it on speaker, then drops it on his desk before he starts typing on his computer.
“Nick?” the man on the other end says when he answers.
“Victor, I need a favor,” Nick says curtly.
“What do you need?”
“I need you to find out what flight Holly Noelle is on, then send me the details.” Chris and I glance at each other in shock, not knowing who the fuck this Victor is.
“Yeah, I’ll get on to it, but Nick?”
“Yeah?”
“This is the last one for a while. I’m goingoff grid.”
“Everything okay?” Nick asks.
“Yeah, just got a girl to hunt down,” he says, then ends the call.
“Who the fuck was that?” I ask.
Nick peers back at me over his shoulder. “Victor is the president of the biggest MC in the state.” My brows hit my hairline.
“How the fuck do you know him?” Chris presses.
Nick shrugs. “He wanted investment advice, and a year ago I helped him invest his money and tripled his ROI in three months. We’ve been friends ever since.”
“You didn't think to mention to your buddies that you’re friends with a biker gang president?” I snap.
Nick waves me off. “He’s a good guy. Single dad, two sons and trying to build something for them. That’s it. Now, as soon as he gets me her flight information, we’re going.”
I jerk in surprise. “What if it’s too late?” Chris asks, the longing in his tone proves me right, they are in love with her.
“Then at least we know where she is, then we go there and find her ass.”
