Chapter 243
I wake and look around me confused, I see all three of them sat beside me talking, and I hear someone else. My mind tries figuring out who it is. I need to get up. I go to move and feel someone stopping me.
“Just give yourself time please.” Calix looks at me.
“How long have I been out of it?” I look around confused, where are we? I can see Dante and his brothers.
“About six hours. How are you feeling?” Calix asks.
“Fine, I think. Can I move please?” I’m laid on a damn table. Which feels weird as hell.
“If you’re sure you’re okay? We have things to sort, D will stay with you.” Calix questions me and I nod. I watch as D picks me up, wrapping me around his body. I’m wearing a bralette and shorts, with at throw wrapped around my body. I cuddle against him and hear everyone leave.
It’s just me and D and cuddles me against him.
“Did anyone get hurt?” I look up at him, I didn’t even think to check.
“No, everyone is fine, well, Gunner got stabbed but nothing to bad. Are you sure you’re okay?” He looks at me with a worried expression and I snuggle closer and nod to him.
“I’m great. I just feel confused. Is everyone dead then?”
I watch as he shakes his head.
“Dean, Richard, Nathan and your mum are no where to be seen, neither are the men who were in the room with you. We will find them all though, every single one I promise you little birdie, they will each wish they never born.”
His words shock me, I’m used to D’s words, about carving people open, and making them hurt. Never has he said it like that though, like he has an aim in my mind.
“I think I pissed them off.” I laugh slightly and he looks at me confused. “Dean, and Richard, I refused to be the weak woman from before and they hated it.” I made things worse.
“Little birdie, tell me later, with those two. I won’t like sitting there knowing you told me and they don’t know. Now, do you think you could eat or drink?” I want to roll my eyes are him but fight it. So
instead I nod.
“Not yet, cuddle me.” I snuggle closer to him, and his arms wrap around my body. I feel safe here, with him, with them. Far safer than I had ever felt before. I know I made Richard and Dean worse, I doubt

anyone would have stabbed me if I didn’t act like I didn’t care.
The thought of giving them pleasure of seeing me crying though, I hated it. Dean and Richard had already done that enough.
“I’m going to cook, would you like some food?” I look up and see Emmi, two of the guards following her.
“She does. Thank you.” Demitri answers for me and I pull a face at him which only makes him laugh. “You need to eat. I love you little birdie.” I look at him shocked. It’s a weird thing to just add onto the end of a
sentence.
“I love you to Daddy, when can we go home?”
“Dante and Calix are out grabbing people. Once we have everyone then we can go home. Dean and Richard will be coming back with us. We will deal with them, Nathan will be dealt with by the Wolversons, het wanted to try make us go to war, so they want him.”
“And my mum?” I need to ask.
“Your mum is dead, I’m sorry, I was going to wait until everything calmed down. Some of the guards went to get her, but she kept shooting, so they had no choice.” He looks at me, guilt covering his face.
“D, I don’t care, it’s one less person to have to deal with.”

“Well, we have a lot, we’re tracking down the men from in that room as well. One of the guys we brought back here gave us names of everyone who touched you.” He looks at me like he is thinking of something else. but he doesn’t say it.
“So I’m guessing a day or two then?”
“Oh no little birdie. Give in three hours and we’re heading home.” He smiles and I nod. I shift feeling something wet between my legs, shit. I forgot.
“I need Emmi.” I go to move and D holds me.
“No you don’t.” He laughs and pulls me closer.
“D, I’m bleeding. I need to shower and get clothes and shit. I’m sure I’m not due on for another week.” I try and work it out but my head hurts. too much.
“I’ll carry you.” His words are quiet and I groan.
“I’m not a cripple!” I try and pull away from him and he laughs. He ignores me and carries me down the hall, and I look back to where we
were.
“Erm, Emmi is in the kitchen remember?” I roll my eyes and he walks through a door into a room.

“Already sorted. When you were out of it, Emmi set up clothes and things in here for you. I just wanted to give you a chance to wake up. So shower little birdie, I’m covered in other mens blood.” I want to
argue with him but I don’t. I watch as he steps into the bathroom and turns on the shower, removing the throw, he covers where the stitches
are.
My eyes peer down and see my body covered in bruises, cuts, blood and their release. I avoid looking at it, and feel him pulling me into the shower. His arms wrapping around me. I move to grab a cloth, and he take sit from me.
“I’ll do it little birdie.” I watch as his hand washes it all away.
“It doesn’t bother you?” I thought it would.
“Why would it? You’re forgetting little birdie, I fucked you after my brothers, while their release dripped from inside of you, so wiping it off your body is no issue.” His words are quiet and I can’t help but smile.
“Thank you D.” I turn in his arms and he looks at me confused.
“Why are you thanking me little birdie? All I did was wash you, I’ve
done it before and will do it millions of times more.
I nod. “I didn’t mean that, I meant for not looking at me different, or been repulsed.” I was worried they would be repulsed by everything.

“Never little birdie. Your clothes and things are there. I will give you a few minutes alone. Then, we need to talk.” He kisses me cheek and gets out of the shower. I watch him dry and throw his clothes back on before walking out.
Moving I get out and dried, getting myself sorted I walk back through and find him sitting on the bed waiting. He looks upset, and I can’t figure out why.
“D, what’s wrong?” I climb onto him and smile. “You would normally have said some witty remarks, spanked my ass or made a comment about fucking me.” He hasn’t and it has me worried.
“We need Calix and Marcello before I can tell you little birdie.” He smiles and I shake my head.
“Or tell me now, I don’t want to not know, everyone keeps looking at me weird, why? What don’t I know, if you refuse I will scream.
“Little birdie, it’s something we agreed to speak to you about together.” He smiles at me.
“Did someone get hurt? Is that it?” Did he lie about no getting hurt? I
watch him shake his head.
“It’s Cal right? I saw his face that day I was taken. He was looking at me weird, he gave me my freedom, he’s given up on me right?” I go to move off him and he shakes his head.

“DI swear, if you don’t tell me I will go insane thinking of what it can be. Please, I need to know.” I feel tears fill my eyes. “It’s Cal, if it is just say. I knew that day I was taken something had changed, he kept looking at me weird. So just tell me if he has decided he doesn’t want me and I will walk.”
He sighs and pulls me closer.
“Little bird, that’s not it. I don’t know what you think you saw on Cal’s face but in no way was it that. After we got back the doctor checked. He wanted to make sure there was no major damage. His female assistant checked for any cuts inside as well.”
He sits looking at me like he is struggling.
“What did the doctor find? Is there something wrong with me?” I watch as he shakes his head then nods.
“You’re fucking crazy, that’s what’s wrong with you little bird, and you‘ re a stubborn ass.”
“D, you know that isn’t what I meant.”
“Your period didn’t come early, when they checked you they noticed. you were pregnant, or was pregnant.”
I look at him confused, my head shaking. I can’t have been. He’s

looking at me like he can see I’m about to argue.
“Look, she said you were about three weeks, give or take and that you probably didn’t know. You getting stabbed so close to there, them hitting you, all that made you lose the baby, and I’m sorry, because it’s our fault.”
I stare at him shocked.
“D, this isn’t your fault. How can you think it was?”
“Because these people wanted information on us, and used you, I’m sorry little birdie. I know you will hate us.
Moving I cuddle him.
“D, I love you. I don’t hate you and you’re not to blame. If you’re waiting for me to scream, cry and shout at you I won’t. I don’t even know how I feel. I never thought I was pregnant, I didn’t know. So I don’t know how to feel right now.”
“You’re sure you don’t hate us for it?” He looks at me and I smile nodding.
“I didn’t hate you guys when you pushed me out, I didn’t hate Cal after he fucked Rosalie. I could never hate you guys.” He seems to relax hearing my words my arms wrapping around him more.

“Food you two.” I look up and see Calix at the door, he turns and walks. off.
“Can we not say I told you. They wanted us to tell you together.” He looks at me and I nod. I go to stand and instead he carries me. I grumble calling him an asshole and he laughs squeezing my ass. I hear them walking as we reach the table I go to sit in my own seat but D pulls me into his lap and wraps his body around me.
It’s like I have a huge koala backpack on me. I see a little boy sitting between Dante and Emmi.
“Right, the plan is we leave, we know where everyone is. It will take an hour at the most then we head home.” Calix speaks and I nod. Turning I look at D.
“You need to eat.” He can’t not eat.
“I’m not hungry.” He grumbles his words are me.
“If you don’t eat I will feed you like a baby. I swear.” I laugh and everyone looks at me on edge. So does everyone know?
“Fine, no bringing the food train to me thanks.” D moves me onto his lap and cats, as I do and they talk, but they try make it stay off gruesome murders and torturing with their son sat here. I think he’s about two? I don’t know I never spent time around babies and kids.

I hear the small cry and look up, Emmi shifts looking uncomfortable and walks out. All eyes look around each other and I can’t do it.
“I know. Stop acting awkward around me. Tell Emmi not to hide the baby. She needs to eat.” I look at Dante and he nods. Calix and Marc glaring at D. “Don’t shout at him, I made him tell me because otherwise I was thinking you were going to dump me when we got back.” I look at Calix and he nods not replying.
The rest of the meal is eaten in silence, but it’s a good thing. I keep looking up seeing Emmi holding a baby, and I don’t know how I feel. I didn’t know I was pregnant, I didn’t want to be pregnant, I wasn’t trying to get pregnant. So right now, I just feel confused. I move and cuddle into D, feeling myself falling asleep, too tired to keep my eyes open any longer.
