CHAPTER TWENTY
• PROBLEMS CATCH UP •

"SILAS! what are you doing here? i'm packing right now, i'm leaving in an hour or two." millie smiles as he walks through the door.

"jax told me what happened." he states.

"oh did he? i'm fine, really." she reassures him as he nods, "so this joseph guy..."

"he's a nobody, silas." she mutters.

"i've never seen you like this, millie. do i need to kill him? because i got people to do my research and i already hate him for you." he says.

she chuckles, "calm down, silas. sto bene. lui è solo un manipolatore e io sono caduto nella sua trappola. non succederà più. (i'm fine. he is just a manipulator and i have fallen into his trap. it won't happen again.)"

he nods, "but he hurt you."

"when have people not, silas? he hasn't done anything to hurt me again so i'm fine for now. i just need to control my emotions and not let him get to me again. and besides, i'm fucking millie bobby brown now, i'm way better than he will ever be." she smirks as he grins and ruffles her hair.

"that's the spirit. call me whenever you need help though. protection included." he says.

"i am my own protection."

he snorts and claps.

"seriously, i'm fine. how about you help me back now and give me a lift back to my orphanage because i'm not calling an uber."

he nods, "i can do that. you don't have much to pack and i have a good ass car."

laughing, she continues to pack up her clothes and some other stuff annie brought her for her one-two day stay.

a small buzz interrupts her and she goes to grab her phone to see who texted.

tom tom!: need a pick up?

she rolls her eyes and types a reply.

millie: you don't even have a car.

tom tom!: so no?

millie: silas is here. he can be my ride. see u tonight!

tom tom!: mkay.

she places her phone down and then throws the bag towards one of silas' guards, "thank you!" she smiles widely.

"at least you know your manners." silas says as she rolls her eyes and walks out.

"shut up." she points a finger at him as he chuckles, "ti sto già dando un passaggio e tu lo dici? (i'm already giving you a ride and you say that?)"

she rolls her eyes and continues to walk.

once they reach the outdoors, she quickly gets into his car and then leans back on the seat with a sigh.

"missed my car that much?" he chuckles as she nods.

"hmm, you look older from this angle." she whispers as he scoffs, "shut up." he says as the car starts, "no one can shut me up."
