“Please baby, go inside and hide”

“I’m not going to kill her” Felix called and damn him how could I hate him for giving the woman I love a chance.

“Thank you” I whispered while kissing Claire on the hair it was the best I could do with my injuries.

“Last chance” Felix called.

“Go, please go” I pushed Claire off of me and she kissed me for the first time in years and fuck it felt like the first time we kissed, how I’d missed her.

“I love you” I called again to Claire, the second she moved I kept my eyes on her, following her until she reached the house.

“Close it” I called to Claire as she stood at the door begging with Felix to let me live.

“You’re choice” Felix called to her while holding the gun at my forehead.

Closing my eyes thinking of only Claire the image of perfection, the bang went…..fuck.

EPOV

I searched for Bella everywhere, the only place I hadn’t looked was her home, for some reason I didn’t feel she would go there, but it was my last chance I had to go.

My phone rang Felix popped up.

“Jobs completed” Felix called, I grinned, Caius deserved it.

“His men”

“Dead”

“I’ll transfer the money within the hour”

“The girl was an interference”

“Claire?” He had better not have hurt her.

“The Wife, yeah they had their moment together, I gave the fucker that at least, but I let her live, but if she causes any trouble for me, I will have to come back and sort her out” FUCK.

“I’ll make sure she keeps quiet” I wasn’t sure how, but I will sort it.

My mobile rang through again and Claire’s name popped up.

“I have to go Felix, another call, I will call you soon” I promised and hung up.

“Claire” I called.

“OMG Edward, Caius is dead, he is fucking dead and John and Phil as well” I didn’t care.

“Are you ok?” I wanted to honestly know.

“Yes” She called while crying uncontrollably down the phone.

Caius has done this too many families I reminded myself, he deserved this, how many people’s lives had he destroyed?

“I’m sorry Claire” and I truly was, I had caused this, I had her husband killed, I made her feel this way, but on the other hand her husband had me looking for my ex finance who could at this very moment be dead because of him.

“Claire did he mention Tanya” and yes call me an ass hole whatever you want, but I needed to know.

“He said they were fine” she choked out, why did it sound like she was lying?

“Claire?” I questioned her.

“He said they were alive” Claire snapped at me.

She wouldn’t lie for him surly? He was dead now; there is no reason to lie for him

Tanya and Jacob where alive somewhere, for that I was grateful.

Life could be good for the four of us.

Life was just about to begin
