Chapter Eighteen

Vin

Sometimes this job sucks donkey dick.

The guys have kept me on my toes I’ll give them that for the years I’ve worked for them.

The thing is, I never once thought I would end up here.

In love.

With not one, but two people. One being one of my bosses.

I started this job because I could get in and get out. Job done, right?

No.

I got it oh so very wrong.

Getting the call from Connor to get my arse to Max’s sharpish almost killed me. The thoughts I had running through my head don’t even bare thinking about. I swear to god, I broke every traffic law possible in my race to get here and make sure he was okay. What I found when I walked in almost had me losing my stomach on his pristine carpet.

Blood.

Blood everywhere.

Panic seized me, but I had to keep it professional until I knew he was okay. When Connor and Johnny dragged some rough, middle-aged looking dude out of Max’s living room my whole body sagged in relief. That was until I saw the state of his face.

Did Max do that?

Surely not.

“Make sure Tim and Gary take him somewhere. We don’t care where, just get him out of here and as far away as possible. He can’t show up here ever again. It’s your job to make sure he doesn’t.” Connor instructs me when he comes back into the house after dumping the bloke in the back of the waiting Range Rover. Giving him a sharp nod of my head in understanding, I head out to the front door but stop instantly in my tracks. I have to know who he is first and that Max is okay.

“Not one to poke my nose in, but who is he? Is anyone else hurt?” I keep my voice steady and strong the best I can right now.

“It’s his dad and yeah, he’ll be fine. Cheers Vin.”

Just like that he disappears around the corner and into the kitchen.

Jumping into the car, I instruct them to go to the nearest hospital. I’m not that heartless and whatever are Max’s reasons are. I know deep in my gut he wouldn’t just want me to leave him in an alleyway somewhere.

I mean come on it’s his dad.

How fucking wrong was I?

I should have just left the prick to die.

After I’ve lied through my back teeth to the hospital about not knowing who he is or how he ended up in that state. I get the two lads who work with me to take me back to the house. All under the pretence that I’m just making sure that our bosses don’t want anything else from us.

Making my way up the steps, I go to knock on the hardwood, but notice the door isn’t shut completely. Now anyone else would be suspicious of it, not me, because I know if there was anything wrong, one of them would have been on the phone straight away.

Pushing it open all the way, I step over the threshold and it’s then I can see the back of Billie in the doorway of the kitchen.
