Harry's Pov

I am currently punching the hell out of the horn, Crawford is trying to calm me down as I continuously bang on the hard surface breaking the skin on my knuckles.

"Chief! Please, calm down. Natalia needs you to have a clear head"

The sound of her name caused a gasp to escape my lips and my movements to stop.

"Chief..?"

"Let me think Crawford... what did she mean...?"

What in the actual bloody hell did she mean?!

Dumping my body

Was she going to be killed and then dumped somewhere in the next few minutes?

What was she going to say?

Ho-

House?

Horse ranch?

Homeless shelter?

Hospital?

WHERE?!

"We need to head back to the station"

I started the car and Crawford placed a hand on my shoulder, making me tense up and look over at him.

"I thought we needed to see Natalia's mother"

I shook my head and he just nodded with a confused expression but let me go.

I appreciate that Crawford doesn't push too far in certain things and knows exactly when to back off.

I started the car and immediately left the parking lot of Natalia's place of work, racing out onto the street and accidentally cutting someone off which earned me a prolonged honk of the horn.

I turned the siren on as we sped through the streets.

I feel like a complete dîck for doing so but this was for Natalia's life.

She will always come first for me, even before my own well being.

If it comes to making a choice of who lives and who dies, I would without a doubt want Natalia to live.

I wouldn't know how to live anymore if she were to be gone... forever.

I finally pulled up to the station and immediately jumped out of the car, not caring that I left the door wide open along with the engine running while Crawford yelled out after me.

I burst through the door to find who was waiting for me.

Nina.

"Where the hell is Natalia?"

"She should be dumped at her destination soon. We have some business to discuss first my love"

"I was never your love"

"But I was once yours. Wasn't I?"

I held my tongue as I glared at the woman who once shred my heart, leaving me broken for the next poor soul who even dared tried to love me.

Natalia was that poor soul who was just as torn up as I was, I could tell she had been hurt before.

It's only a matter of time before she reveals that story to me and I will wait as long as it takes.

"I'll take your silence as a yes then. Now, Thomas expects 10 million dollars to be given to me so that way Liam's debts can be paid and then after that we'll be all set"

I widened my eyes at the horrid woman standing before me.

"Liam?"

She looked at me in the eyes then tilted her head with a small smile on her lips.
