Forever Mine

Chapter Twenty-four

Hadin.

I lay in my bed just looking at the beautiful woman asleep next to me. She is the definition of perfection. I watch her sleep feeling her breath as she lays on my chest. I lay my head back finally about to get some sleep.

Buzz. Buzz.

I reach over to my phone on my nightstand seeing my lobby calling me. I slowly and carefully push off Sara onto the bed and I get to my feet rushing into the living room.

Yeah? I answer my phone.

Mr. James someone is on their way up to your penthouse sir. My doorman states.

Who? I ask him as the elevator doors open and my question is answered. As he enters the platform by the elevator his black biker boot clink against the hardwood flooring. He has dark blue jeans wearing a white shirt with a leather jacket his dark brown hair is in a controlled mess. His helmet on his hip as he stands there. I hang up the phone.

Hello Hadin. He greets me.

James. I whisper. I watch as he walks into my penthouse. My thoughts dont go to why is he here. They go to Saras here. He cant know Saras here. What do you want? I ask him.

Well you left abruptly from Dublin, so I wanted to know what you were either running from or running to. He states as he looks around. I turn just as he grabs Saras coat off the couch. I close my eyes. Fuck. Whos is this? he asks me.

None of your concern. I state.

Now, Hadin do you remember what happened last time you tried to get out of our brotherhood? Our life is forever. Our way is forever. You cant escape that. He tells me.

Trust me I remember perfectly. I snap. But I think its best if you leave. Now. I threaten.

Why? Are you hiding something or someone? He asks me.

Hadin. I hear her voice coming from my bedroom. My panic mode turns on and Im grabbing James arm before he can try and rush towards my girl.

Leave. Now. I repeat.

Now, whos that? He laughs as both of our heads turn when Sara comes walks in the living room.

Hadin. She whispers noticing the tension. Oh sorry. She whispers.

Go back into the bedroom. I demand and she stands there looking at me.

Now, now, is that anyway to speak to a lady? James teases as he pushes me off him and walks towards my girl. I turn right on his heels. Hello darling. Im James Burke. He introduces himself.

Hello. She smiles as she looks at me I shake my head. How do you know Hadin? she asks him.

Were like family. When he lived in Ireland. James tells her and I watch as her eyes grow large. She remembers what I said about him.

It was nice to meet you James. She states as she looks at me. I accept all major credit cards. She tells me as she walks over grabbing her coat. I follow her taking out my wallet. I take out my checkbook writing down something.

Thank you. I smile at her.

Anytime. Mr. James. She smiles as she walks to the elevator as she leaves the penthouse. I smile taking a breath turning back to James.

Well shes a beautiful whore. James states. My jaw tightens. Maybe I can get her number from you while Im in the states. He demands.

Shes pretty booked up. I keep her busy. I tell him. Shes one of my favorites. I state. You know me I dont like to share my toys.

Havent changed. Why did you come back to Maine? He asks me.

I have some family obligations here. Once Im done straighten those up I will be back. I tell him.

Hopefully not too long. He states. I know that she isnt a whore Hadin. He tells me. Her name is Sara. Right? He asks me.

How did you know that? I ask him.

You have enemies Hadin. When you left Ireland I started doing my research. He tells me.

I swear to god James, if you come near her. I will kill you. I threaten and he just laughs in my face.

Do you remember what it was like the last time you tried to fight me? He asks me.

Im not the same kid I was James. You need to leave the states now. I demand. He shakes his head and grabs his motorcycle helmet as he walks towards the door.

Oh and Hadin. You know you cant really run away from your past? If you try. Your making a huge mistake. He tells me as the elevator door opens up and he enters in. He smiles at me as the elevator closes.

I turn and grab my phone calling Saras cell phone when a few seconds go by and the elevator opens up to see her standing on the platform. I drop my phone onto my couch I rush over to her and wrap my arms around his waist.

Are you okay? She asks me as I reach her. Her arms reach up around my neck.

Im so sorry. I tell her.

Why are you sorry? You didnt do anything. She tells me.

I shouldnt have come back. I should have stayed away. Now your in even more danger then before. I state as I turn away from her grabbing my coat from the couch. I need to leave before things get worse. I say heading towards the door.

Hadin! She cries as she walks after me grabbing my arm making me turn to her. I can see the tears run down her face. Dont you fucking leave me again. She warns.

This is my fault. You are in more danger then before. Its not just Connor thats after you. James and everyone else from Ireland will come for me and they will take what or whoever down to get me to come back. If I would have stayed away Connor wouldnt be back here, he wouldnt have hired the guy in the black hood, James would have stayed in Ireland and Paige she wouldnt be here either. I tell her tears forming in my eyes I can see the tears falling down from her eyes.

Hadin. No. Please. She begs as I pull away walking towards the elevator. Hadin! I swear to god if you walk out that god damn door She pauses and so do I as I hit the button. I will never forgive you and you better not come back! she screams at me.

As the elevator doors open it feels like hours pass but its only been seconds. I know I must protect her. I know I must let her go and this time I have to let her go for good. I cant turn to her if I do, I wont be able to leave. My feet move into the elevator when I finally turn to her seeing her standing there crying in front of me.

Hadin. She cries.

Sara. I whisper as the elevator doors shut.
