ILLICIT #1 : New Moon

Chapter 30 - Falling Apart

Adrian Nielsen

"You can't do this." I said to Dean as he ended the call with Phoenix. Dean got the news that Alester Castroff dead pretty quickly and he immediately knew that Phoenix will know about it through Lana.

"Lana needs him and this is not the right time for you to pull him here." I got up from my seat and Dean ignored me. I couldn't say anything at this point because Dean is pretty much stubborn.

Dean doesn't want to lose Phoenix just because he's starting to get whipped. He knew Phoenix needs someone like Lana but he decided to do the opposite. I got out from the main room to walk out waiting for Dean's team to bring Phoenix here.

My phone rang and it's Phoenix. "I need your help." He said the second I picked up the phone. I found myself looking to the building knowing that Dean might watching me.

"I'm at the headquarter too." I said sighing.

"Lana needs me, Adrian. She can't go through this alone!" Phoenix screamed through the phone and I completely understand him.

"Please.." He begged and I ended the call. I got into my car and drove out from the headquarter. Immediately, I have 3 cars following me. Dean, you're such a dickhead in this situation.

I sped up my car and after 15 minutes driving with 3 cars following me. I found 3 identical cars from the opposite direction and I knew Phoenix's in there. My plan was to crash my car towards them but my eyes widen when I saw them driving towards me instead.

"Are you shitting me?!" I hissed as I sped up my car not caring if we will collide. I dialed Phoenix's number in this situation.

"You need to get the fuck out from that car!" I said. When I was about to crash the car, they stopped. I found myself stepping on the brake so hard. We still crashed but the impact wasn't that strong.

I saw Phoenix  got out from the car with 5 guards running towards him. I saw 10 guards coming out from the cars behind me. What kind of shit show is this? I got out from the car and Phoenix ran towards me.

"Take the car and go." I said and he nodded. He got into my car and the guards started to shoot my car. Phoenix drove away quickly but 2 out of the 6 cars followed him.

"Your Highness, we have to take you to the headquarters immediately." One of them came to me and I looked around to see civilians stopping to see this crazy scene. I got into their car and they quickly got me out of there.

Dean will take care of everything anyway even though I might end up dead in his hands.

"We're going to the headquarter now with Mr. Nielsen." They reported to Dean and I sighed. I turned to the guard who sat beside me. "How many did he send his team?" I asked.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, but we can't tell you." He answered and I facepalmed myself. My phone rang and it's Chance. I rejected the call because I know he and Dean are two peas in a pod.

Why am I a part of the ILLICIT again?

I got a message from Chance saying that I should call him or else I'll be a dead meat. I decided to call him back.

"You're dead once you're back." That's the first sentence that he said and I rolled my eyes.

"I'm not heartless, Chance." I hissed coldly.

"No one knows about their relationship and this is one of their ways to lure Phoenix there. Are you dumb or what?" He asked in an angry tone.

"She needs him and do you think she can handle this alone?"

"I rather have her dead than Phoenix, so.. I really don't care about her existence." He and Dean might be twins in their previous life.

"Who's behind this?" I asked to the point.

"You know who and Phoenix might know about it by now. I'll see you at the headquarter." He ended the call and I'm 10 minutes away from the headquarter.

"Should I write.. a long letter to my parents?" I asked loudly to the four guards in the car. They looked at me confuse and I sighed.

"Your crazy boss might kill me when we get back.. do you mind typing my last letter to my parents?" I asked and the innocent guard on my right took out his phone ready to type whatever I say.

My eyes widen when I saw the headquarters gates opened widely. They never opened it like that and suddenly the guards inside my car got an alert. Instead driving towards the headquarters, they did a U turn.

"What happen?" I asked.

"Some intruders went in, Your Highness. We'll bring you to safety first." My phone rang and I picked it up. "A jet is ready for you, go to London." Dean simply said and he ended the call. I tried to call him back again but he didn't answer.

I called Chance and he didn't answer it either. How can the two of them be in Paris today? That I think about it, why would they be here unless they know more.

Phoenix Sterling

I sped up towards the hospital even though I have 2 cars following me. I really need to see Lana, I can't leave her alone. I don't really care if Dean will kill me once everything is done but I need to make sure that Lana is fine.

I tried to call my team for an update but none of them answering. What happened exactly?

As soon as I arrived at the hospital, I stopped the car at the lobby and got out from the car. I ran in and asked the nurse for Alester's information. They led me towards the emergency room and tried to find Lana in the process.

As soon as I got into the emergency room, it was a full shit show. I tried to find Lana first, I need to make sure that she's okay.

"Lana!" I called her name as I looked around but she's nowhere to be found.

"I want to find Alester Castroff." I said as I stopped a nurse.

"I'm sorry, I don't know." She said and I let her go. My phone rang and it's Lana. I picked it up right away.

"Where are-"

"She's here with me." It was none other than Finn Ancelet himself.

**

Do you hate Dean? He's going to be an asshole throughout the books so bare with me and love him. He's really different from Nicholas so is basically an angel. Dean is more of a fallen angel and so don't be shock to see him acting like this :)
