LEILA

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE

Panic. Everyone was panicking. Not only because Mia was gone, Amanda was too. Killing one person didn't give her peace that she killed two more people. You can't imagine a girl doing this all one her own but she did it. She knew she was gonna get caught one day or another that she had everything planned.

The police she car in which was being taken, was attacked by some people or more precisely her people. Two of the officers were killed. I didn't know she could go this far. She was this famous supermodel, loved and adored by all and now she is a wanted criminal. What scared us all the most was Mia, she was carrying a baby inside her. She should have been with Jordan at this time enjoying her life but instead she was at some place none of us knew. Jordan was blaming him for not taking care of her. But i guess, everyone knew it was my fault.

If i hadn't started dating Brad, none of this would have happened. I somehow end up getting myself and people around me in the worst situations one could ever possibly think of.

When you lose someone so close to you, you just do not want to believe that it happened but you can not change the truth. I was so lost yesterday after finding out that Mia is missing that i called Liam's phone. I had forgotten that he has left us all behind. I went to see his mother after his funeral, she looked pathetic, she didn't talk to anyone. All she did was stare at the wall and shed tears. What else could one expect from a mother who lost her son.

One thing Liam used to love was piano. We spent hours together at his house on the weekends playing his piano. Well, he played and i listened. I wish we could go back to those good days. But now when i saw the piano again, it looked like a coffin, my best friend's coffin. I feel like I violated our friendship, i used him and i used her. I always got what i wanted from them because i was this lonely girl with a sad past. But i didn't know that their future was going to be worse than my past. Sometimes i wish, it was me who died and not my mother, so that i had never met any one of these amazing people and made their life literal hell. Mum could have married another man, started a new life.

Jordan hasn't slept since yesterday, he didn't go home. He didn't want to. First the accident and now this, i could tell how big of an impact it had on Jordan and his business.

"Leila." Brad called and that brought me out if my thoughts.

"Yeah."

"Your phone has been ringing for five minutes now." He said and i noticed my phone.

Father. Not the person i wanted to talk to right now. I don't even know why i had his number saved in my phone.

My head hurt like a bitch. Just like Jordan i hadn't slept as well. We stayed up all night just starting at each other because none of us knew what to do.

"Leila, you look really tired, you should go get some sleep" Brad suggested. As much as we have gone through, i loved this man sitting here with me.

"No I'm fine, I'll just eat something but I'm fine." I replied and shook his head.

"Baby." He said softly. "Go to our room, I'll get you some food there and then you can take a nap if you want to." He said and i nodded.

"Just get me a sandwich please." I said before getting up to look for Jordan.

I wanted to ask him if he wanted to eat something as well but when i reached the guest room, he was already asleep. He looked so tensed even in his sleep. It's like living a nightmare for him. I could never imagine my baby being in danger and having no clue about where he is.

I lied down on the bed and covered myself. It made me so helpless not knowing where Mia was. Or what if something bad happens to her or the baby. I would never be able forgive myself for that.

Brad entered the room with a tray full of food, even though i just asked for a sandwich. There were fruits along with the sandwich and a glass of juice. He sat right next me and kept the food in front of me. I sat up but i had no energy to eat so i opened my mouth, gesturing him to feed me and he did.

I was actually more hungry than i thought I was, i ended up finishing the sandwich and and also had some fruits but i didn't feel like drinking the entire glass of the orange juice.

After i was done eating i lied down again but i had this weird feeling. I didn't want to be alone at the moment.

"Brad" I called and he hummed.

"Come lay here." I said patting the place next to me and he followed.

As he embraced me from behind i finally closed my eyes but i didn't want to sleep. I had this feeling that if i sleep, i was going to wake up to something really terrible and i hated it.

"Do you remember when i first met you?" He asked. "I wished so bad that you were single and then Connor told me you were, i was really glad. But i fucked it up" He said.

I turned around to face him. "It's all in the past, as long as you don't plan to do it again I am happy." I said pecking his lips.

"I'd die before thinking of hurting you ever again." He whispered.

"Don't say that. You are all i have at the moment, i don't wanna lose you." I said burying my face in his neck.

"Fuck" He groaned.

"What's wrong?"

"Do you even have an idea, what you being so close to me does to my body?" He asked and i smirked.

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

And at that moment he flipped me around and hovered above me. "You don't?" He asked raising his brows with a little smirk playing on his lips and i shook my head.

"Are you sure because I'll be more than happy to show you." He said as he removed his shirt and moved down his trousers.

"Still don't know?" He asked again and i shook my head in a no.

"Seems like we'll have to do something about that now."
