My Broken Mate

12. Fear

We continue to hold each other's hands together as we walked peacefully up back to the house.
There I heard laughter off to the side of the garden.

As I looked over, I watched as there were guards by the doors and windows talking and watching over as there were children running around the field laughing and playing freely.

I smiled as I watched them chase one other and run around.

Off on the other side, I noticed women also watching over them as they smiled at each other and chatted.

It literally felt as though this was just one big family together.

"Baby I have to go deal with something real quick, you want to go upstairs and wait for me for bed?"

I nodded my head as I looked away from the scene.

Something inside of me, actually wanted to go over to the women and talk with them for a little bit but was too scared to even try. 

Sometimes I do wish I pushed that fear away, to not let this aniexty get the best of me.

I wanted to have a best friend who I can talk to about things, or mingle with others to help.

All these things running through my mind, I just kinda want to release them out and vent to one.

He kissed the top of my head then suddenly whispered in my ear, "Go if you want, I won't mind that either."

I looked up at him surprised as figured he must have read my mind.

I shook my head. Turning once around, I heard the women calling their children inside the house for bed. There they all gathered together and went inside their side of the house.

"You know maybe tomorrow you will have a chance. I have a lot of work to do anyways and don't want to bore you with all of it."

I smiled up at him as I shrugged my shoulders, as he leaned down and kissed my cheek.

There I quickly walked inside upstairs as Nate watched me, too embarrassed to look back as I was still not used to the affection.

As I was walking to our room, many were walking down the hallways entering their own rooms, and started to bow down to me saying goodnight.

It was still so weird for me but I respectfully bowed back which surprised some as I continued to the room.

Once in, I decided to just take a quick shower then head to bed as I was actually tired from today.

But as I headed towards the bathroom, I suddenly felt a breeze and looked up as I saw our bedroom balcony doors were opened.

The slight breeze gave me chills all over, we did not open those doors earlier. I didn't like this one bit especially if Nate is not here with me.

I slowly started to walk towards the doors to close them. Heisting, I stopped, this was a bad idea and began to question if someone is out on the balcony, what would I do? What if..someone is already in this room hiding, waiting?

I needed to go downstairs and get Nate instead...I can't do this alone.

But as I turned around to go towards the bedroom door, I felt a hand clamp over my mouth to keep me quiet.

"Well..well..well looks like we got what we wanted very easily." There in front of me was a man, he had his face covered with a mask and suddenly felt someone else walking from behind me.

I just froze, I knew it. I felt so weak, I can't fend for myself. I knew at this moment that this was gonna be it.

There the man pushed me down to the ground making me fall towards the edge of the bed. I turned to look up at him and was shocked as he began to pull his mask off.

I had never seen him before. He had an scar across his right eye. Leaning down he smirked.

"Well princess, time to go now. Sleep tight."

And with that I sudden saw darkness.

NATE'S POV

As I walked towards my office, I begin to think of ways that maybe could help my love speak again.

Maybe having the other women around will help, so she could practice. I can hire a therapist, that could help her as well. Maybe every night we will practice speaking a couple of words at a time.

I don't know, but I want to hear her lovely voice. I want for her to speak for herself like she has before, I just know she was so outspoken.

Stepping into my office, I felt tension. Jason looked up as he was shaking his head as pointing with his head towards some papers in front of him.

Walking towards my desk, I sat down.

"What's going on?" Moving the papers towards me, I noticed they were bank statements.

"I don't know man. Something is up. I feel it. Look at this. This was a recent transaction from Dave's bank."
It was a total of five thousand dollars, where the hell did they get this money from.

"That's a lot of money."

"Exactly, but what for? We have them here. How would they get access to this? Who transferred that money over?"  Sighing I rubbed my head, now I all wanted to do was go lay with Jess in bed.

"Fuckers. They are planning something. We need to get insight and find out what the hell they doing."  Getting up, I walked towards my bar off to the side, pouring myself a drink.

"Will do. I'll let the men know downstairs." I watched as he grabbed his phone and began to type away.

Sighing, I walked back to him and sat down. "Jason."

Looking up, he stared at me. He knew as I told him this.

"I am killing them."

He looked down and just softly nodded.

"I know. I will be okay."

We both nodded at one other.

Suddenly, I felt something sharp and painful in my head. Grabbing my head, I closed my eyes, I felt fear and darkness.

Something was wrong. Opening my eyes, I quickly got up and ran to her.

Jessica.
