Chapter Sixteen

Ashton

“Brother, come on, we have to go. I’m driving. I’ll explain on the way,” Kade says, bursting through my office.

“I’m kind of busy right now. I need to find out more about this Craig and see if he is the one sending the flowers to Ansley.” I see the look of worry on his face. “Everything okay?”

“No, we have to go.” He closes my laptop. “We have to get to the hospital. Ansley and Megan are there. I’m not sure what happened, but Ansley’s place burned down. She went back in for something. Megan tried to save her.”

“What do you mean save her? Are you saying my girl is dead?” I storm out of Ellis Investigations.

“Shit, I’m not sure. All I know is we have to get to the hospital, now.”

“Come on, she can’t be dead. No way. I just spoke to her. She’s a fighter. She made it. Where is she, Kade?” The panic of losing the only woman that I’ve ever loved sets in. The thought of AJ and me losing her hits me. “Kade, you’re not giving me enough fucking information, man. I need to know what’s going on.”

“Ashton, calm down. I’m not sure. All I know is Megan called me and said she is at the hospital and they won’t tell her anything about Ansley. The last time she saw Ansley was when the place exploded.”

I don’t even know what to think right now. The woman I was going to propose to tonight is dead? No fucking way. She isn’t dead. She’s my future. She has a good life now, a family that loves her.

“Fuck. Kade, please get me to that hospital,” I say as I lean my head against the seat of his Cadillac Escalade. I place my arm over my face and try to hold back my tears. I can’t survive if she is gone. I just can’t think about this right now.

The hospital seems so far away, I can’t even see straight. I have to pull myself together. She has to be alive. She is alive. “She’s alive, brother,” I say. “I’m not going to think the worst.”

“Almost there. Liam is on his way. Lila is home with all the kids.”

“They didn’t tell them, did they?”

“No, man, they didn’t say a word. Lila is pretty torn up, though. Your mom is on her way over to sit with her.”

I hear Kade speaking. I have no fucking clue what he’s saying. All I can think about is Ansley. That’s all my mind has room for right now. I keep repeating my silent prayers over and over. She has to be okay.

“Drop me off at the door. I don’t have time to go through the parking garage,” I say as Kade’s SUV comes to a halt at a stop sign. “Meet me in here.”

It feels like I’ll never make it to the door, like my legs will give out at any moment. Once my body passes that revolving door, my heart feels like it has stopped.
