CHAPTER 25

William

WILLIAM JUMPED OUT of the car as soon as Charles braked in front of the warehouse.

“Hurry,” William whispered to Silk and Charles.

The entrance was unlocked. Terror crawled up his spine. He pleaded to a god he didn’t even believe in that he wasn’t too late to save Ivy.

A clank resounded through the building.

“You stupid whore!” Markson’s voice reached his ears, and William rushed forward with his pistol in hand.

All of a sudden, a shot rang out.

“Ivy!” William bellowed, running past containers toward the one she was being held captive in. But as William rounded one container, he saw her on the floor next to the chair and the loose rope, and then he heard a thud.

Ivy’s head turned as her arms fell to the side and she lost her grip on a gun. “William?”

William cocked his weapon but witnessed a dead Markson on the ground, a crimson halo forming on his chest. He dropped his gun when Charles and Silk started to survey the area around Ivy.

William fell to his knees and checked Ivy for new injuries, frantically feeling down her body. “Are you hurt? Are you shot?”

Before she could answer, Charles barked, “Were there more people than Markson in here, Ivy?”

She shook her head, staring at William with tears leaking from her eyes.

“No,” William answered for her and cradled her cheeks. “Are you hurt?”

“No more than I already was,” she replied, whisper-soft and added pensively, “You came back.”

Something devastated William’s heart when she mentioned it with skepticism, as if she didn’t think she was worth coming back for. “Of course. I don’t break my promises. I promised you I’d get us out. Nothing could’ve stopped me from returning.” He wiped Ivy’s damp curls from her face, making sure not to touch the swollen skin around her injured eye.

“Markson is dead,” Silk stated, bending on one knee to feel for his pulse with two fingers.

“Place is clear,” Charles confirmed and came to stand beside William and Ivy, looking down at them. “Silk, lift her up. We need to get William’s wounds tended to right now. And hers as well.”

“No!” William protested. “I’ll take her.”

Charles and Silk’s gazes clashed for a second.

“William, your body is weak. Let Silk carry her.”

“I said no,” William repeated and swung Ivy up into his arms. “Silk can stay here to clean the crime scene and dispose of the body, make it appear as if nothing happened here.”

Without meeting Charles’s disapproving stare, he went toward the entrance and to the car. Charles followed. Setting Ivy in the back seat, William joined her and practically moved her sideways on his lap. With Ivy’s head resting against William’s shoulder, they clung to one another without even realizing, William stroking her hair while taking relaxing breaths, as Charles maneuvered them back to the Loop in absolute silence.

The beast inside William was now calmed by her presence. She affected him in ways he could no longer negate, and denial was no longer an option, not after what they had been through during this night.
