Chapter 40

Rae's Pov

"Alright love birds, get out of the room and come help us." Louis called.

Harry and I separated but not before his nimble fingers buttoned my jeans back up. His hand reached around my backside, giving it a squeeze. Harry's soft lips grazed my ear.

"I can guarantee we'll we finishing this later." His raspy voice whispered.

I gasped as his teeth gently bit my earlobe. I could feel his smirk against my skin. Slowly he parted from me, his hands lingering away. Before I knew it, he was at the door winking and walking out.

I stood stunned, and still in a daze. The great will power he has will always astonish me. From the time he stopped himself from beating the guy at the club in front of me, to the one that was at the store when we went with Evie. He has such strength to withhold himself, but I never knew this would be one of them. I was expecting a sly remark about something quick. But I knew he wouldn't do it in the presence of Liam and Louis. And I don't think he cared about my dad. He would probably do it in spite of him.

I made my way out of the room, but not before I composed myself and my heated cheeks.

When I entered the room, Liam was busy bandaging my dad up. Louis seemed to be asking a few questions. And Harry, well he was pestering all of them.

I walked over to my dad and grabbed his hand. He gave a light smile, but he barely moved a muscle.

"Well, I know my flat is the last place you want to be, so let's get onto why I had to save you so you can go." Harry smiled sarcastically.

"Like I'd tell you shit," My dad rolled his eyes.

"Dad, just tell him." I pleaded.

"I won't in front of you. You don't need to hear this." My dad told me.

I nodded and walked out of the room to Harry's kitchen. I'll just ask Harry about it later.

Harry's Pov

"Now that's she's out of the room, would you like to tell us what you're hiding from her?" I asked.

"No,"

"Fine, don't tell us," I smirked. Liam and Louis looked at me like I was crazy. "because the more time I spend out here, the more time I was wasting by not fucking your dau-"

"Don't you fucking finish that." He spat harshly.

"Then it seems you'll be telling me now won't you?" I smiled in victory.

"What exactly do you want to know?"

"What were you doing out there tonight?" Louis asked.

"I was meeting with a few people,"

"Those people are...?" I asked impatiently.

"I don't think I can say," he says.

"Alright, well your daughter is so fucking t-"

"Oh god, stop! Stop it!" he pleas. This is just too easy.

"The people I was with are the ones that beat the shit out of you, as well. You might remember that time at the club." he says, trying to play the game I have mastered.

"Yeah I think I'd remember that dumbass." I mutter the last part since I need to know the information he holds. "Why were you meeting with these people?"

"Well, I kind of owe them money. If I didn't win the case for Aiden, I had to pay. If I couldn't pay, then this would happen," He says emphasising his injuries.

"Aren't you, like, loaded or something?" Louis asks.

"I am well off, but the price they were asking for just wasn't possible, nor would I pay with my own hard earned money. They also said that if I don't pay, they'd hurt Rae. Look, you know you're not my favourite guy, but I need you to protect Rae when I can't," he says, obviously hurting his pride. As much as I love making him feel inferior, I have to process the information he just told me.

Why the hell is he messing with these people. Yeah, I'm not much better, but he's a fucking middle-aged man. It's pathetic he has to ask me to protect his own damn daughter. But I get why. He doesn't put up much fight compared to those men. And of course I will, I always have, but he's her father.

"Is there anything you aren't telling me?"

"Um yes... They knew when Rae took Evie. They could have stopped her, but they didn't. They saw her shopping with her, taking her out to eat, even followed her until she was a mile from your mum's house. They wanted her to go home so you could spend time with her and get reattached, but these people are planning on taking her right back. They need you to feel weak, even vulnerable. They're relentless, Harry," he says slowly, making sure I hear every word loud and clear.

"What the fuck did you just say!?" I demand, towering over him. His eyes are full with fear, afraid he'll get another round of getting the shit kicked out of him.

"I-I said they want to take her back," he says quietly, almost a whisper.

I look up at Liam and Louis, both faces filled with shock and disgust. Before I could even begin to start throwing and punching whatever is in my way, I heard an ear-piercing scream coming kitchen. Rae's voice erupted throughout the house.

"Someone's outside! They're looking in here!" She yelled.

I quickly turn towards the nearest window and I see someone looking in. We make eye contact and I run towards to door. Liam follows and Louis tries, but I tell him to stay with Rae's father.

I unlock what seems to be ten locks on my door and fling it open as fast as I can. The mystery peeper tries to run away, but I catch up and tackle him to the ground. He tries to get away, but I have him pinned. I pick him up and hold him by the collar and drag him inside, with help from Liam.

I throw him to the ground and lock the door again. I then sit him in a wooden chair and tie his hands behind his back, making sure there's no risk of escaping. The guy stares up at me with a straight face, but there's a glimmer of fear that shows in his eyes.

I look around the room, everyones' faces looking confused. I take a minute to decide what to do, but I have nothing. I finally decide on the most obvious.

"So, would you like to tell me who the hell you are, or do I have to beat the shit out of you to find out?"
