Chapter 0555 None of us moved for a moment.
Trying to wrap our heads around what just happened. He wasn’t even trying to hide the fact he intentionally stabbed all of us in the back. He literally brought us here to say fuck you and watch out.
“We need to have a meeting.” Carson said instantly.
“Come to my house. We have the space and I don’t want Kristen traveling.” Alec looked down at me. His emotions were everywhere but he held it together.
“Alright. We will meet you there.” Hank nodded.
Colt reached down and grabbed my
shoes and Alec picked me up. “I can walk.” Raising my eyebrow at him, he just rolled his eyes at me and kept going. However, I was happy for the ride.
All of us headed out as quickly as we could, before anything could happen.
Colt must have mind-link ahead, because the helicopter was already started and ready to go.

As much as I hated flying, I'looked down at the center, just in time to see Anthony and Ann walk out. Since they were looking up, I reached over and flipped them the bird before the
helicopter dipped and flew off.
“What are you doing?” Penny asked ; confused.
“Anthony and Ann were watching us.” Sitting back, my head rested against Alec.
“So you...flipped them off?” Penny giggled but neither boy looked amused.
I couldn’t find a good position to put my ankle so I eventually draped it across Alec’s lap. “That looks painful.” Penny was looking closely at it.
“P11 put some ice on it and elevate it.” “you will wear your boot tomorrow.” Alec didn’t even look at me.
“How are you not as upset as they
are?” Penny asked me.
Colt’s head snapped to me. The way his eyes narrowed made me feel a little uneasy. “You better not have. We talked about this.” “I did what I needed to do so I didn’t have a full blown panic attack!” I couldn’t help but to yell.
“please tell me you are going to work through them?” Colt pinched the bridge of his nose.
“with Alec now leave me alone.” Crossing my arms, I looked away from him.
It was awhile before anyone spoke after that. We all listened to the sounds of the helicopter flying through the air.
“Ice... I'm sorry.” Colt leaned forward
and looked at me.
“Okay.” I still didn’t want to look at him. If I let those feelings in, I wasn’t sure what was going to happen. Either way, I wasn’t going to find outina helicopter.
“I’m serious.” Colt reached out and pushed my leg. “Look at me.” I looked at him but didn’t speak.
Instead I just raised an eyebrow at him, waiting for him to talk. Still, just looking into Colt’s eyes, I could see how sorry he was and how much he wanted me to be okay. It was maddening but as hard as I pushed from him, he pushed back. After awhile, I gave in. “ Fine.” “Thank you.” Colt said and leaned back.
“you literally didn’t say anything.” penny was looking between us with her mouth open. = “]'m with Penny.” Alec grumbled.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“He just wants me to work through my feelings and be okay. He said we would figure this out and she wasn’t going to get tome.” «and that I loved her.” Colt added. We both looked out the window. I could see Alec and Penny share a look of confusion.
After what seemed like hours, the helicopter finally started to dramatically land. Holding into Alec’s arm, I just buried my face. “I'm never riding this again.” It was all I could do to not throw myself out of the plane as it landed.
“Drive carefully. We are going to change and head your way.” Colt said and stuck his hand out to Alec. — Without hesitation, Alec shook his hand. “Sounds good.” As I went to walk to the car, Alec came up behind me and picked me up. “My savor.” I whispered in his ear.
“1’11 always be here to save you.” He whispered back as he placed me in my seat.
As he walked quickly back to his side, I just had this feeling that the past was going to happen again. “Things are going to get bad, aren’t they?” I asked as he got in.
Alec started the car and drove off before he answered. “Depends what she is up to.”
Without waiting for him, I reached over and grabbed his hand from the steering wheel. It surprised him alittle but he was also happy that I did it. “I assume she is going to want the money.” “your dad had an iron clad will. What ground would she have?” Alec was driving incredibly fast for as snow packed as the roads where. Still, I wanted to get home. Out here, I felt exposed and vulnerable.
“We might just find out.” The rest of the drive was silent as Alec focused on the road. Thankfully, we didn’t have that much more to go before we pulled into the garage. “I'll come get you.” Alec said as he turned off the engine.
My hand was already on the door.
There wasn’t any point of arguing, especially since my ankle was really fat. Alec opened the door and pulled me out before picking me up.
“I could get used to this.” I teased as my finger traced his chin.
“Woman....” Alec playfully glared at me as he opened the door.
Vivian was surprised to see us. “Home so early?” She looked at her watch in confusion. Adalynn had woken up from her afternoon nap and was eating a snack.
“We are but if you don’t mind, we need you to stay around. We have multiple people coming over for a meeting. We will be down stairs so you guys can stay here.” Alec said as he walked me to the bedroom.
