THE TIES THAT BIND-Book 3 In The Sexy As Series

Chapter 27

Marian didn't say one single word as they made their way home to England. Her silence was what scared Harry the most. She didn't, however relinquish her hold on his hand. It was early evening by the time they arrived in London. He made his way towards Zayn and Kaia's house.

Kaia paced nervously as they waited. Tricia and Yaser had come to get the twins. She didn't think it would be good for Marian to be around the twins. At least not yet.

"They'll be here soon," Zayn said as he sat in the living room with his sketch book. "Come sit down."

"Baby I can't," she said as she continued to look out the windows at the drive. Waiting to see the lights of Harry's car. "Do you think I did the right thing by sending the twins away?" She asked as she walked towards him.

He reached for her hand. "I do baby," he said. "She just needs to get used to being here with us first. "Then we can bring the twins home."

She merely nodded and then hurried to the front door when she saw headlights. "They're here!" She threw the door open and rushed outside. Zayn close behind her. They stood together and waited as Harry pulled up in front of the house. Once the car stopped, Kaia rushed to the passenger side and opened the door. "Marian," she said and reached for her besties hand.

Marian knew where they were. She didn't want to be there, but she didn't really want to be alone either. For the time being, she would let Kaia mother her, fuss over her, but then she would go away. Go away to die in peace. She felt Kaia take her hand and pull her out of the car, but she didn't say anything.

Kaia couldn't help but hug her, but wasn't surprised when she felt no response from her. "Let's get you inside," she said and gently pulled her towards the house. "I have some coffee ready. Would you like some?"

She merely shook her head. "I just want to go to the room you have for me," she said without a glance back at Harry who was now standing next to the car.

"Alright," Kaia said not letting go of her hand. They went inside and she took her to the guest room that she always stayed in.

Once inside the room, Marian sat on the bed. It was then that she noticed how quiet the house was. She watched as Kaia fussed around the room. "Why is it so quiet?" She asked. "Where are the twins?"

Kaia sat down next to her. "We, uh, they're with their grandparents," she said. "I didn't think...I thought it would be best if they weren't here when you came. I didn't want to ....."

Marian held up her hand. She didn't feel like listening to her babble on. "I got it," she said with a snap. "I'm going to take a shower and go to bed." She stood up and headed to the bathroom.

"Marian, I...." She watched as Marian went and slammed the bathroom door behind her. Kaia sighed heavily and then turned down the bed for her and left the room. She went to the kitchen and just sat there, not sure of what to even do.

Harry watched as Marian went inside the house.

"Haz, how are you doing?" Zayn asked.

Harry just shrugged his shoulders. "To be honest, I don't really know. I thought getting her out and away was what she needed, until...."

"Until what?"

"Can we go sit down?"

"Of course," Zayn said and they went inside. They found Kaia in the kitchen sitting alone. "Where is she?"

"She's taking a shower. Harry can I get you anything?" She asked. "Coffee, tea, a beer?"

"I'll take some tea, love," he said sitting down. "Thank you."
