“My dogs have been home too long without a potty break” She said.
“Is your husband out of town?” I asked softly and she smiled.
and she smiled at him
“You can say that,” she said and Matt walked over and took a pack of fond eat of the bag and handed it to her,
“At least have one to go, I got way too much” He said, she stared at it for a moment before taking it.
“Thank you, Matt.” She said softly before spinning on her heels and basically running out. He stood there, staring after her,
“Dude, what the lack was that I asked, amused and he sighed.
*She is so beautiful.” He said, coming and dropping into his seat again. He looked at me and then back at the door.
“I hope I didn’t overslep, I didn’t think you were interested in her but if I am wrong, just call me off.” He said, I shook my head, chuckling
I hadn’t tell him about Justin and Amcha, everyone knew we would be living together but that was the extent.
“No, man. Just be careful, I am not sure what is going on with her and the husband” I said, he nodded thoughtfully.
“When she came in the day after Christmas, her ring was gone. I have been working here for the past ten years and I have never seen her come in without her ring.” He said and I snorted
“Stalker much?”

“Hey, she is my dream woman, how can I help but to notice.” He retorts

“If I see you coming in tomorrow, I will lock you out of the building” He said as we part downstairs in the lobby.
I chuckled, shaking my head. I was ready to be hack in my bed but I know it wouldn’t be the same without Justin and Amelia. I felt bad for having neglected her the last few days but I was glad they would both be hack tomorrow. I pulled into the driveway, feeling like I have lived here for years. As I made my way inside, I was oblivious to the lights being on in the kitchen. I dropped my suitcase on the chair and took my coat off, hanging it up. There was a bottle of wine on the counter and Limmediately went for it. I definitely needed something to take the edge off, so I poured a glass and went to the fridge to find a snack. I didn’t end up eating that much with Matt.
“Doruld, is that you?” It was Amelia’s voice, my head shot up as she rushed into the room and jumped in my arms. I held her tight, almost shocked to ser her
“Oh, baby girl. I thought you were coming tomorrow.” I said once I got my bearings.
I pulled her back and dropped my lips to hers, gripping her tight around the side. She whimpered almost in pain and I pulled back immediately only then did I notice the handprint sized bruise on her cheek. Anger filled me as my gaze fell to where my hands were. I pulled up her shirt to see her right side from under her
sts to the top of her hip was completely covered in a dark reddish black bruise
“Holy shit,” that came from Justin because I was completely lost for words. I looked up at her face to see tears pooling in her eyes, she started to open her mouth to say goodness knows what but I shook my head at her.
“The nest wonds need to be what fucking happened to you and who the hell I about to kill‘ I said slowly, the tears dropped down her cheeks.
“And this no way in hell that the stairs did that.” Justin added.

Chapter 121: You Are Safe Now
She reached up and wrapped an arm around my neck and turned slightly to wrap one around Justin’s neck as she pulled us closer to her. Her sobs quieted to sniffs as she clung to us for dear life and we let her. We needed her to let it all out so that we could talk. I felt like shit that I didn’t go with her, I didn’t think for one second that she would be in any kind of danger being alone. When I looked at Justin, he was looking at me and the look he had was what I am pretty sure he could see on my face. We weren’t there to protect her and now someone had hurt her.
Amelia POV,
I was running, it was almost dark outside and the sky had a pretty orange glow that I loved so much. That is why I always ran at this time even in January, Maryland air was warmer than usual. I had only needed a long sleeve shirt for the slight breeze that was brushing across my cheeks and there was a dark class figure running towards me. I didn’t think anything of it because this was a common path to run on. I heard footsteps coming behind me and the pace was fast, I glanced back and it looked like a man but I couldn’t make out his face. I picked up my pace, the trail was almost over and then I would be surrounded by a neighborhood and a lot of lights. My lungs began to burn and I pumped my arms. The person in front of me was about to pass and they looked at me. I felt like all the oxygen left my body as I struggled to breathe. I was almost to the clearing but hands reached out and pushed me and I lost my footing and landed hard on the ground and on my side.
“You little whore.” The voice said, I looked up, trying to see the face but now it was just a blur in darkness. I knew that voice, I knew those words.
“Who gave you the right to move away?” He said, pain radiates through my side as a blow struck me on my exposed side.
Over and over, I screamed the pain, something I had never felt before. Hands shook me roughly and another blow, this time to my face.
“Shut up bitch, no one can hear you anyway.” The kick kept coming.
I cried out for help as the hands became rougher, shaking me. I reached out to grab whatever I could to pull me away from the relentless torment and there was something just in front of me that I grabbed onto for dear life. It was firm and strong and I knew if I had enough strength, it could save me.
“Wake up, A
Amelia, Wake up, babe, it was just a dream.” It was Justin’s voice, I felt the tears running down my face and gentle hands wiping them away.
My surroundings were fading away, I wasn’t on the trail. I wasn’t with those horrible men, I was in a soft bed and the smell of my men surrounded me. I opened my eyes, a loud sound filing my ears and I winced at the bright light stinging my eyes.
“You are okay, baby girl, please and you are safe, you don’t need to scream anymore.” it was Donald, I looked at him and finally realized I was the one making that loud sound
I stopped screaming, panting and drawing in my breaths. The worry on his Tace was etched with a twinge of pain, I looked down and saw a trickle of blood rolling down his arm. The arm I was holding onto, my nails had broken the skin and sank into his flesh. I gasped as I pulled my hand away,
