For Worse or For Better- Book #6 in the WF Series

Chapter 15: Car

"I needed it." She shrugs admittedly, going back in to rest her face after laying a small kiss on my stomach.

God, I fucking love this woman!

Alaiya's been quiet the entire way to Ivy and Eldon's house. I know she's overthinking all of this and I wish I could tell her not to, but I'm in the same position as her. I asked Eldon if I could at least tell my dad and Fiona so they were safe, but he said he's already taken care of it and has bodyguards surrounding their house. He said my dad was on overdrive with the situation and said he would do anything to help out if we needed it. Eldon also took care of the house that we built for men and women that were in abusive households where Alaiya's grandparents live as well.

"Okay, the first car is going to take us somewhere and we'll get in another one just in case whoever this person is is following us. Some of my team will stay a couple of feet away to make it seem natural. Also, I need all of your devices because they could be tracked." Eldon holds out a bag for us to put all our phones and laptops in.

"Wait, but I still need to write for my job," Alaiya points out, speaking for the first time in an hour.

"There will be laptops at the location that can't be tracked. You can work from there. The both of you can."

"What about Autumn's school?" I ask.

"Summer break starts in a few days. Just quickly email the school and tell them you went on an emergency trip that couldn't have been pushed off. Now, I know you guys have a lot of questions, but we've taken care of many families and couples that have been stalked so I want you to trust us. The car's outside so get Autumn, Dayton, and Aubrey, and let's go." No matter how fucking much he gets on my nerves, I do trust Eldon with this type of shit since he has saved many lives.

We grab the kids and get in the car before a driver takes us to wherever the hell we're going.

♡ Alaiya's POV: ♡

We are literally on the run from someone who's blackmailing and stalking us. And I thought our lives were crazy before.

I haven't spoken much in hours since there are so many things going on. First, Roman and I get into a fight. Then, Roman ends up in a coma. After he wakes up, I find out that a naked picture of me is being used against Roman. Then I end up getting drunk for the first time in my life. And finally, to top the icing on the cake, I end up getting questioned by my best friend's husband and he tells us that our family is going into hiding because this creep knows where we live now and is using it against us. And I know that most of us are in the public eye so someone could find our house with a simple Google search, but someone actually took a picture up close of each of our houses and then sent it to us. On numbers that are definitely not public. Plus, it's not just a coincidence that when the person took the picture of everyone at Iris and Legend's house, their high-tech security just happened to go down. And for them to be able to take a picture of Ivy and Eldon's house...well, that's just a different level.

"Mom, are we there yet?" Violet asks Ivy, rubbing her eyes.

"Yes, sweetie. Welcome to Narnia!" Ivy holds her arms out at the unknown location we're at, nothing seen in the far ten miles.

Definitely Roman's cousin.

"Aunt Alaiya, will you please adopt me?" Violet asks me, her hands folded together in a begging way.
