Irish Deception

Chapter Sixty

Stasia

There is without a doubt something going on. It's easy to tell with how on alert both Blake and Hugh have been ever since the call Hugh received last night.

I'm pretty sure neither of them have slept and every time I see them they've got phones practically glued to their ears. Every time they leave the room or head outside and I'm pretty sure it's so I can't hear what's going on.

The twins claim they have no idea either and up until about an hour ago I didn't quite believe them but with how agitated Finn is getting I've come to the conclusion that they're as clueless in this as I am.

"Neither of them will say anything" Cian mutters quietly from behind me as I watch Hugh pace the garden on his phone.

"Well something has to be going on" I say not taking my eyes off him.

He knows I'm watching him because I've seen his eyes flicker up to where I am numerous times but each time he's averted his eyes away and I know he's definitely hiding something serious.

"And I'm going to go find out exactly what that is" I snap and head out of my room ignoring the twins calling for me to wait.

I head straight down the stairs and storm through the house, straight past Blake without a care in the world for how I know he's following right behind me.

When I practically fling the back door open making it ricochet Hugh spins round to face me and mutters something into his phone before ending his calling and shoving it into his pocket.

"What's going on?" I shout at him as I stomp towards him.

I can already tell by his expression that he's not going to tell me anything and my thoughts are confirmed when he opens his mouth.

"Nothings going on, go back inside" he growls at me and oh yeah when dickhead Hugh arrives that means there's definitely something serious happening.

"Bullshit!" I call him out coming toe to toe with him. "Tell me what's going on and I swear to god if you lie to me I'll walk straight out of here and I won't be coming back" I snap pointing back to the house.

It's a bluff. I won't be going anywhere because frankly I have no where to go but I see the flicker of what seems to be unease at my blackmail before his mask falls into place perfectly.

"Are you calling me a liar?" he actually has the cheek to say.

"Yes I am" I straight up say squaring myself in front of him.

There's no pulsing vein in the side of his head and his jaw doesn't tick which tells me I'm right. He's fucking lying right to my face.

All he does is stare me down as if he's calling my bluff so I decide to calls his right back because I will teach this ass a lesson.

Turning on my heels I haul ass back to the house.

"Anastasia! Come back here" he shouts after me but I don't even consider halting my steps.

As I get to the house Blake reaches out to grab my arm to stop me but I pull it out of his reach.

"Don't!" I snap at him as I go to charge past him only for him to finally get a hold of me stopping me from going anywhere.

"Let me go!" I shout as he quite literally lifts my feet from the ground so I'm just wailing about in the air like an idiot.

"Stop, I'll tell you everything okay just calm down" he says softly holding me tight to him and I reluctantly relaxed at his words.

"Blake don't" Hugh growls as he comes to where we are but it's Blake that snaps at him now.

"I can't keep shit from her man it's just not right" Blake sighs releasing me.

I turn to face him expecting him to tell me what the hell is happening but as he goes to open his mouth Cian comes rushing out interrupting us.

Saying the two words I'm not expecting to hear at all.

"Volkov's here"

At first I think I've heard him wrong, that he can't possibly mean that Irvin's actually here but by the Hugh and Blake both charge into the house without even an ounce of hesitation I know I definitely heard those words.

This is what they've been hiding. Irvin's what's had them so on edge and now he's here.
