Chapter 5

When I walk in the door, Bella’s crying on the couch. I rush to her side, sitting down next to her and pulling her tightly against my side. “Bella, what happened?”

“It’s Tom.” She buries her face in her hands and cries louder. “He said if I didn’t come home now, he’d throw all my stuff outside on the curb. Everything I own is there.”

That motherfucker. It’s not bad enough that he hit her, but now he wants to throw all her shit on the street as punishment. “You think he’s serious?” I know the words are stupid before I even say them. If the bastard will hit her, I’m sure he wouldn’t have an issue tossing her stuff to the curb either.

“I don’t know. He scares me.”

Rightfully so. The man beat on her. Naturally, someone’s going to be afraid of him and he knows it. The bastard is trying to lure her back so he can probably hit her again or worse. I’m so angry that I want to track his ass down and beat him black and blue, but right now, I’m more concerned with her well-being and making her feel safe.

I kiss the top of her head and stare out the window across the room, plotting his death. “Do you know where he is right now?”

“He said he’s at work and I better be home by the time he got there.”

“Come on, let’s go grab your stuff.” I stand up and hold out my hand to her. “He’s not home, so let’s do it before it’s too late.”

She stares up at me with her hands folded in her lap. “I don’t know, Cole. What if he comes home while we’re there?”

“Don’t worry. I have a plan.” I motion for her to take my hand. “Let’s go. We can’t wait any longer.”

She slides her hand into mine, but I can tell she’s not entirely sold on my idea as we walk out the front door. I help her into the truck before I pull my phone out and send a text to a buddy for some backup.

Me: Hey, Morgan. I need a favor, brother.

I climb in next to her, giving her shaking thigh a light squeeze. “Relax, Bel. I promise everything will be okay.”

She smiles, but her eyes drop to my phone when it buzzes.

Morgan: Sure. What’s up?

Me: I have a situation. Can you grab the guys and meet me? Got a girl that needs to get her things from her abusive boyfriend’s place.

Morgan: Beating on a woman? Yeah. We got ya. Not a problem, man. Let’s hope the motherfucker comes home while we’re there. Lemme grab Bear and Frisco, and we’ll be right over. Text me the address.

Me: I knew I could count on you. I owe you one.

“What’s your address, Bella?”

I type it into my phone as she speaks and send it to Morgan. I punch it into my GPS and lay the phone on the seat between us before pulling out of the driveway.

“Who’d you text?”

“Morgan.
