Entangled (Toxic Romance)

Chapter 27

Marius Pov

"Coulder!!!. Annora screams before she can stop herself. Gideon and Asia looks at her funny. She then tries to go to him. I stop her.

"Sit," I growled over the helicopter blades. What she didn't see is that Coulder grabbed his leg as he went down. Not to mention he's still firing shots while on the ground. I step from the entrance of the helicopter and fire into the trees to cover them. Ida helps him up and pulls his arms around her and make their way to the helicopter.

Once they are aboard I tap the roof for the helicopter to pull off.

"Coulder are you alright," Annora says and tries to go to him, but once again I tell her to sit.

Ida grab a first aid kit and work on Coulder.

She says, "It's just a flesh wound, barely scraped his leg." She patches him up.

He then looks at Annora and smiles and winks, " you won't get rid of me that easily Ann."

She smiles, nods and wipes her tears.

She then looks at me and I glare at her. Looks like I have to have a talk with Gideon and Ida about Coulder.

"Marius where are we going."

"To my secret, but first we need a jet. I don't trust my jet captain not to tell my grandfather where he lands us."

Coulder says, " h and me your phone. We can use mine."

Gideon says, " how they hell you have your own jet. Marius, how much are you paying him. Just who the hell are you man."

Coulder says, "I'm Annora's and Marius bodyguard."

"They hell you are. You are more than that."

I say. "Everybody quiet." I hand Coulder my phone. " Do it."

"Gideon, Coulder is a long story, but just know that I trust him and that's all you need to know right now. I need to get you all to safety and you will hate me soon enough Gideon. I've been hiding things from you because I didn't know who's side you were on. It seems like you were always on grandfather's side and I really needed to see where we stood, but you have shown me loyalty time after time, because I did put you through several tests."

"I'm your fucking brother. I will always stand with you. It's fucked up that I had to prove anything to you. I don't even know why our house was just blown to fucking bits, but I'm here."

I stay quiet, kind of moved by my little brother. I only nod.

Coulder said, " while you were strengthening your family ties. The jet will be ready for us. It's at these coordinates." He hands me my phone with the coordinates on it. I hand it to the helicopter pilot. The phone will stay here anyway so I can't be traced.

Everyone is quiet. In their own thoughts. Annora snuggles up to me and falls asleep. I lay my head back against the wall thinking.

My grandfather came quicker than I thought. He usually likes to slow burn a person before he comes at you hard like this.

I've seen him torture a man for 2 years before he killed him. Another time he ruined one of his business partner's company month by month until he was forced to sell it to my grandfather or have bankruptcy on his hands. Not only did my grandfather ruin his company, he made his wife leave him and she took the rest of the money he had. My grandfather finally put him out of his misery.

For him to be old and aging he sure likes to wait around a lot. He must really view me as a strong adversary.

I'll wait before I retaliate. At least until Annora gives birth and can fend for herself.
