Chapter 12

Annabelle

I drop my phone with shaky hands as tears run down my face.

“Anna? What’s wrong?” I feel Willow’s hand on my shoulder.

“Foster’s dead,” I choke out, tears spilling down my face.

Willow gasps in shock and covers her mouth. I see her eyes well with tears. “Novak?” she whispers.

“He’s alive for now, but I need to leave this second.” I don’t bother wiping mine away because more would keep coming. I rush out of the kitchen and head to the bedroom we were using to pack my bag.

“What are you doing? What’s happening? Who was that?” Willow’s voice is clogged with tears.

“It was Arnold!” I scream. “He killed Foster. Told me to run away or he’ll kill Novak, the others, and their families. His men are coming for me now.” How I managed to get all that out I have no idea.

“Stop, Anna. We’ll figure this out. Stay here. Ted and the others will protect you,” she says, trying to convince me.

“No, Willow!” I turn to her “I already lost Foster. I can’t lose all of you either. You all meant so much to him, and if I stayed, I’d be putting you guys in danger. He even said if I didn’t get caught he’d leave me alone,” I say then finish packing.

“And you believe him?” Willow shouts.

“I can't take the chance not to.” I take a deep breath. “Willow, please. If it's safe, I’ll come back, but until then I need to protect all of you, and that includes this baby.” I gesture to her pregnant belly.

I can see the frustration in her eyes. I know she’s upset and doesn’t agree with my decision. She cries harder while she pulls me into a hug. “Promise you’ll contact us soon, and if Arnold is dealt with you come back.”

“I can't right now, but I’ll try my best to call when I can.” I hug her tightly.

Pulling back, she wipes her eyes then her expression becomes serious as she informs me, “I have some cash and an untraceable car I can give you.”

“Thank you for everything.”

“I’ll create a distraction so you can haul ass and get out of here.” She wipes her tears once more.

“Please, recover his body and cremate him. And one day I’ll be back for his ashes,” I vow. “And take this.” I pass her my cell. “I won't need it.”

“Of course.” We’re both on the move as Willow packs a bag of cash from their safe then shows me a black SUV in the garage. She gives me one last hug before telling me to wait three minutes, then to leave as fast as I can.

And I do just that. Three minutes go by and I open the garage and burn rubber as I leave. Willow must’ve managed to open the main gate because it’s ready to drive through. I see a guard yelling as he chases me, but I don’t stop. I already lost Foster, the least I can do is protect the people he loved most.
