Their Little One (ON HOLD, EDITING CHAPTERS!)

Chapter Sixteen

Skye Williams (flashback, one day ago)

Ryder was pretty tensed the past couple days, he knows that Elias had wrote that letter as it was in German, and he also knows someone random, possibly one of Elias's pets broke into his home trying to scare us, who knows what else they could be capable of doing. This was just all fun in games for now, we both knew it. Everyone was playing with fire until eventually someone would snap. And that someone was Ryder.

I sat on the barstool staring at him from behind the bar as he paced around whilst talking on the phone, his jaw clenched tightly as he spoke in his Italian accent. It was obvious he was on the phone with Giovanni explaining the events of last night to him, and how he would go about taking the next step.

"I know it was Elias, he actually had the balls to stand on my property while my wife is here. He even had a damn troglodyte to do his dirty work for him. I swear on my mother's beautiful soul, I'm going to kill that fucker!". He rambled before going back to Italian, he paused after a moment letting Giovanni talk on the other line possibly calming him down.

Ryder wasn't taking another risk to let this happen again, his men had an earful before he turned his anger onto Giovanni. Letting them know how incapable they were of saving someone's life, if they let someone break in without noticing, he went on and on and a guard even lost an ear in the process. But I don't even want to think about that again.

I just know he was pissed. I sighed, placing my hands on the table to lift myself up from the barstool and I made my way around the counter towards Ryder as he continued talking on the phone. I placed a hand on his shoulder and the other hand on his back in a comforting manner. I knew he wasn't afraid of anything, he was raised this way, prepared for any fight. But not if it involved me. He would flip this whole earth if something happened to me.

I felt his muscles tense again before they began to relax, as my left hand rubbed his back and his tone began to change until he was calm as he talked to Giovanni on the phone.

He continued to quietly comfort him waiting until he finished his call, and once he did. He placed his phone down on the counter and turned his head to look at me.

He let out a breath before speaking, "It seems as, Martino and Axel also received threats from Elias and his accomplice. We will be going to his house for the time being until shit settles down". I was a bit taken aback, not expecting for the message to get out so fast to Martino and Axel.

"You know I can't bear you sleeping here tonight, and wake up to you screaming. I'd rather feel more at ease with us being in a house full of people we can trust". He tucked a strand of hair behind my ear, giving me a comforting smile before leaning in a placing a soft kiss on my forehead.

"I love you". He told me, looking into my eyes.

"I love you too, baby". I bit my lip, looking into those dark angry eyes. "You go get packing, i'll lock up everything and make sure everything is secure and i'll join you alright?". I nodded my head, and I turned on my heels scurrying out of the basement and all the way upstairs. I immediately began packing, I wasn't scared. Ryder and I have known each other for seven years now. He knows i'm not afraid of anything, this little situation is nothing to me.

What Ryder does, is nothing to me. I grew up with it if i'm being honest, I lived with my dad all my life, not knowing who my mother was since she abandoned me in the hospital. My dad was great, he just did dangerous things and made mistakes. But it was always for a good cause. Me. He wanted me to have a good and improved life, that's why he would be gone everyday 8 A.M sharp not getting home til about 12.

That would be the only time we really spent time together, is when he came home, we would have lovely meals he always brung home a restaurant meal as I would mostly be stuck with instant noodles and peanut butter and jelly at the house for the whole day.
