JETT

It’s early morning when our plane touches down on the tarmac and the engines gradually wind to a halt. I glance over at Hazel, her green hair falling softly over her face, partly covering her closed eyes.

She’s pretending to sleep, but I know neither of us got a wink on the four-hour flight. The tension between us is intense, and her anger toward me and probably her brother is still simmering under her sleepy facade. I’ve spent enough time with her over the last month to know all her moods and mannerisms. Her body is tense, her long nails digging into the pillow she has under her head. She’s probably imagining she is clawing me to death, inflicting the pain I know she wants to because I ruined her murderous plans.

I tried to nod off myself. I had hoped the alcohol would help block her and all the problems she caused in my life out. But with my career now taking a massive nosedive, I couldn’t manage to switch my brain off. I’ve worked so hard to get where I am, only to throw it all away to save some girl I hardly know from her own stupidity. How could someone who looks so angelic and innocent have the ability to not only escape one of the best security systems in the world and armed guards but also be so hellbent on murdering her husband that she completely disregards her own life?

Her pretty pink lips are pursed in a way that tells me she knows I’m watching her, but I don’t care. From now on when it comes to her, I’ll do whatever the fuck I want. After last night, I know my obsession with her has taken a turn. The panic I felt when I thought she was gone overrode everything else in my life. She was the only thing I cared about, and until I knew she was safely with me again, I couldn’t control my actions. I know I can’t ignore her like I originally planned, so I’ve decided to embrace whatever the fuck this is. Even if she drives me to the point of insanity in the process, I know I will do anything to keep her from harm’s way.

She stretches her arms over her head and yawns sleepily. “Are you going to tell me where we are now?” She gives me her best resting bitch face as she waits for my answer.

“Savannah, Georgia,” I reply dryly.

She clumsily clatters upright, her eyes going wide. I’m sure she’s wondering why we’re so far from home, but it’s obvious she can’t be trusted not to go after Liam, putting herself in danger and fucking up our plans. So, getting her as far away as I could was the only option I had left. This way, she’s safe, and I can carry out Leo’s new plan without having to worry about her getting herself killed in the process. Little does she know we were hours away from giving her the freedom she so desperately wanted.
