The Wife (Sequel to SUGAR)

Le croque-mitaine

Leah's pov

Tears slide down my cheeks as I see Sugar, angrily staring at Jord. He was dressed in a hospital gown. He had spots of blood on his arms, like he was connected to several IV's before. I could see, under the gown that his chest was bandaged. He looked healthy. Like he was being taken care of. 

"Where is she."Sugar says.

"Who?"Jord smiles, pretending to be oblivious.

I step out from my observation point. 

"Sugar."i say softly.

His head jerks towards me, and so does Jord's.

"Leah. Back to the kitchen."Jord demands. 

I ignore him, walking to Sugar.

"Baby"he says as I run into his arms.

I sob into his chest. 

"I was so weak without you! You'd be so disappointed in me"i sob. 

"I'm here"he says, hugging me tighter.

"Oh, this is just bloody great. I get to a point in the book where Leah think's i'm the only one left that loves her and you 3 idiots pop up and wake up my brother."Jord huffs.

"Ethan, we have to find Ethan."i say.

"You go. I can handle him."Sugar says.

I pull him down, kissing him passionately. It felt so good to finally feel his lips on mine again. 

"Go"he says against my lips. 

I break from the kiss and place my forehead on his. I pull away from him, running to untie the boys. Once they're untied, only Joey stands.

"He'll bleed out, get him to the medic."He says to my brother.

Harry nods and Joey and i begin our search.

..... .... ... .. .

Jord's pov 

My brother pulls off his hospital gown. 

"So, what now brother?"i ask.

"Now, i'm going to kill you."Stephen responds.

"Are you?"i ask.

"2 months. 2 months you had me down in that basement. Asleep, listening to you talk about how my wife, and my son were becoming so fond of you. You always were the jealous type, Jordy."he says.

"How could I not be, favorite son of a favorite son."I ask.

"Why do you hate me so much, brother? It's not my fault dad saw potential in me that he didn't see in you."Stephen says.

"YOU TOOK MY POTENTIAL. If did could see me now he'd gladly choose me over you."i say angrily.

"Oh, would he? Or would he see what a coward you've become? Stealing your brothers family to prove a point, who the hell do you think you are?"Stephen asks.

"God, i'd forgotten how annoying the sound of your voice is."I say, rolling my eyes as he begin to walk in a circular motion.

"What did you do to her? And what've you done with Ethan?"he asks.

"Oh Stephen, I did what all men would do with a woman like that."i smirk, making him turn red with rage.

"Both of those hearts still working well?"he asks, popping his neck.

"Better than ever."I say.

"When i'm done with you, i'm going to rip them both from your chest, in the most rugged way possible."he says.
