Chapter 18

“I have something to tell you,” said Lachlan, propping himself up on the bed.

“What’s that?” asked Marian, trying to appear interested.

“It’s about my position.”

“As a drug and arms dealer?” asked Marian coldly.

“Yes, something like that. If anyone were to try and harm me, Guy or you – I would have the whole town tortured until that person was found.”

Marian’s eyes grew wide.

“You can’t harm innocent people!” she practically shouted.

Lachlan raised an eyebrow at her.

“I think I can do what I want Marian,” he said icily.

“Then why are you telling me?” she asked, starting to feel sick.

This meant it was not as simple as putting a bullet through his head when the timing was right. She had to warn Archer about it – knowing he would be just as keen to get rid of Lachlan.

“Because I don’t want you to try anything,” he said, looking at her warily. “Would you really want to be responsible for the torture of innocent people?”

Marian shook her head, biting her tongue so she wouldn’t say anything stupid.

“Well good, now that we’ve settled that – why don’t you run along and cook me breakfast like a good girlfriend?”

Marian obediently got up and walked out of the room, furious at what he was doing.

She couldn’t even try poisoning him after the information she had been given – he was teasing her with the fact he was practically immortal now.

She walked past to guards and could feel their eyes on her.

‘Mental note to self, cover up from all the perverts in this house,’ she thought as she walked a little faster to get out of their view.

She walked into the kitchen and saw no one was around.

“Fruit salad will be easy,” she mumbled, getting out of knife and opening the fridge.

                                                                    ***

“Do you have three of the black ones?” asked Archer, studying the motorbikes that were on display.

“If you fellas have your driver’s license, then I sure do,” said a sales assistant.

Archer, Tyler and Seth took out their licenses and showed them to the man.

“Perfect, how are you paying today?” he asked, rubbing his hands together.

“Cash,” smiled Archer.

“Excellent,” beamed the man, as he nodded for two of his friends to get the motorbikes.

                                                                    ***

Marian took out a chopping board and placed the fruit on it.

She took the knife she was holding and began to cut the fruit in a fast motion.

A simple task – that also released some of the anger she was feeling inside.

“What’s for breakfast?” asked Lachlan, stepping into the kitchen to join her.
