Human

Forty-Two

"So, what about that movie?" Cane grinned. Eira was by his side, they solved their problems in a matter of minutes and now acted like a happy couple who have been together for years.

I wish I could be like that. Bella thought with a sigh. "Alright, Let's go." Atlas spoke and fished through the bowl that had keys in it on the counter.

He took out a Mercedes key and held his hand out for Bella to take. She smiled lightly and put her hand in his and entwined their fingers. It was as if their hands were made to fit perfectly into one another.

The molded perfectly, his huge one cupping her regular one completely, his thumb was able to rub the back of her hand with ease. She felt sparks erupt, and a new energy occupied her body making her more energized.

"I'll get Jake. I'm sure he'd like to watch the movie." Cane said with a kiss on Eira's lips, making Atlas grunt but not say anything.

The three of them descended the stairs and into an underground garage. It had multiple sports cars along with a few jeeps and SUVs.

Atlas walked over to a huge jeep, opening the passenger door for Bella and the back door for Eira. Once they were inside, Bella entering with difficulty, he jogged to the other side and entered the drivers side.

Seconds later, Cane came in putting a baby seat in between him and Eira, and putting Jake in it before sitting down.

"Let's play truth or truth!" Eira started jumping up and down once they were on the main road.

"Alright. Bella, truth or truth?" Cane asked with a smirk as Bella rolled her eyes. Why did I have to be first?

"Truth." She said boredly and Cane did an evil laugh. "I was hoping you'd say that."

Bitch wut? "Who was your first kiss?" Cane wiggled his brows and Atlas glared at him through the rearview mirror and tightened his hold on his steering wheel along with clenching his jaw.

"Ethan Stryker." She said quickly "Next!" At that Eira started humming "Thank you, next, thank you, next, I'm so fuckin' grateful for my ex." Cane narrowed his eyes at her but stopped once Bella started talking.

"Eira, who was your first kiss." She was trying to provoke Cane, and she was doing good at it. "It was Luke Brooks." She cleared her throat awkwardly when Cane growled.

"That bastard! You knew Atlas and I always hated him and you had the audacity to kiss him!" She gulped.

"Well, I-" Jake interrupted them. "Uncwe Atwas, youw bwothew visited this mowning. He towd me to give you a note." Jake took out a note from his pocket and stretched as much as he could, and handed Atlas the note when he stretched his body to actually get the note.

He opened it confusedly, seeing it was in Croatian.

Ona je dobra osoba Atlas. Uzivam u njenom drustvu i zelim je za sebe. Bice moja uskoro.

- Lucas

Atlas' vision darkened as he read it over and over again. He knew Croatian perfectly, as his mother was from there and they visited a lot, and he definitely wanted to murder Lucas even more now.

"You okay?" Bella asked in a small voice. She noticed his eyes get darker, his foot pressed harder on the gas pedal and his hands tightened even more on the steering wheel.

"Yeah. Perfect." He mumbled, too distracted by planning his brothers murder.

TRANSLATION OF THE NOTE:

She's a good person Atlas. I enjoy her company and I want her for myself. She'll be mine soon.
