Chapter  10

One week later

“Fuck it!” I screamed it frustration, it had been one week. ONE whole fucking week since I had heard or even seen Daniel.

“Calm down Sid,” Sophie came and sat next to me, I once again broke down into sobs clutching onto her for dear life.

Want to know what happen from the day Daniel left with that whore?

Well I told Nate, at least I convinced someone and he had the whole gang searching for Daniel but no one knew where he was and it was only a day left till Daniel fell into the trap.  Yes, in twenty-four hours Daniel was going to propose to her in front of her family where she was going to kill him.

Me?

If I wasn’t freaking out every moment I was either in tears or stuck behind my books doing homework but I kept getting distracted. Everything without him seemed so dead, and I managed to get Luke around to help me save Daniel even though they hated each other but I was pretty sure he wasn’t going to let his brother die despite what he has done.

“We’ll find a way Sid,” Luke sighed; everyone camped around the living room at Daniel’s house while the rest of the gang was still searching and doing their stuff.

“Nate?”As I spoke all eyes snapped on me, three pairs of eyes were focused on me, calculating what I was going to say.

“Yeah?” he replied, by the looks of everyone no one had properly slept throughout the week because everyone was worried about Daniel. Who knew one person could cause that much trouble, let alone get into trouble himself.

“You’re going to her house tomorrow,” I asked, “aren’t you?” Sophie gasped a little while Luke’s eyes widened because none of them would let him go.

“Yes I am,” he stated firmly,

“I’m coming with you,” I perked up, Nate’s posture stiffened as he turned to look me in the eye but before he could say anything I cut him off, “I’ll be in the background, so will Luke and Sophie,” no one answered me because everyone looked distracted.

“No,” Luke said this time, “you girls are staying here and I will go with Nate,” his bright idea was not going to work.

“How the hell do you think you can go there without being chucked or killed by Daniel within less than minute?” I argued back, Sophie shook her head in response.

“Look guys,” she started, “how about Nate and Sid go in as a date, I’ll change Sidney’s appearance so no one will recognise who she is,” I smiled, this I why I loved Sophie she came up with the best ideas.

“Well I’m not just sitting around,” Luke burst out, his features were tired and he was worn out.

“You don’t have to, you and I will sneak around with the rest of the gang through the back with guns,” she stated cleverly. I was grinning like a Cheshire cat, Nate seemed to be in deep thinking and Luke was still having an inner debated.

“Right guys,” I shouted loudly, everyone snapped out of their daze and focused on me, “we’re going with Sophie’s plan but for now everyone needs rest you all are dead tired and it won’t benefit Daniel if we’re all half exhausted,” Nate got up followed by Luke, we all said out goodbyes as Luke and Sophie headed away arm in arm.

“I’ll just...,” I knew what he was going to say; he was going to go finish off some work because he blamed himself for not listening to himself.

“Nate,” his eyes turned and met mine, “it’s not your fault, you need to go upstairs and sleep okay?” his eyes softened a bit and he nodded. I followed him up the stairs and made sure he went into bed before going into my own room and slipping under the sheets falling into deep sleep about Daniel.

All night I kept tossing and turning, groaning I finally decided to get up but it was only four o’clock in the morning. In just some hours Daniel was going to get shot at, he won’t die because I won’t let him

He won’t die.

He can’t die.

I won’t let him die, if anyone was going to kill him it’d have to be me but I don’t even think I could do such a horrible thing. No matter what Daniel has done, as a wife it was my duty to protect him even though I should be glad he is going to die so that I will be free of him but I wasn’t because for some reason whenever I think about Daniel dying terrible memories lurk within the outskirts of my brain lingering there for the whole day.

There was a slight knock on my day, I jumped who and rubbed my eyes thinking who else would be awake at four in the morning?

The door opened slightly to revealing an exhausted looking Sophie, who looked as terrible as I had from the useless sleep from last night.

“Morning,” she yawned, I nodded in response and in her hand was a bag full of hair products to which I raised a brow causing her to grin, “make over time!” she squealed, I let out a small laugh before clearing up my bed as she started getting her hair products out of the bag.

“Something that nobody will recognise me with okay?” I asked her, she just hummed nodding her head in response before grabbing me and pushing me down into the chair.

“Now all you have to do is sit there like a nice little girl,” I could hear the excitement in her voice, “while I work my magic,” with that she started.

She applied some wet soap onto my hair, and rubbed it all through my hair. I closed my eyes resting backwards thinking about Daniel until the pain shot when Sophie plucked my eyebrows.

“Oww!” I screamed, “Goddammit could you make it hurt anymore?” To which she only laughed, my head was in pain from the lack of sleep, I couldn’t wait till I got my hands on some coffee.

My eyes fluttered shut, this time instead of thinking about Daniel images of my mother’s body came into my head and I could feel the tears starting to build up in my closed eyes.

Don’t cry, I will not cry and show how weak I am.

Stay strong.

Daniel will be saved.

Moments later I was ready, turning to see myself in the mirror I looked absolutely mesmerising like a whole other person. My brown long hair was now a ginger blonde, even though this might’ve not suit me but what Sophie had done made me look like a whole other person.

“Now you go and shower,” she turned her head around and looked at the clock that displayed nine sharp, great we had a lot of time ,”while I go make everyone breakfast, okay?” I nodded and rushed towards the shower.

Even if you save Daniel he will never love you.

He will never love a person like you, someone with a shattered past and an ugly confession.

I clutched my head, what was going on with me? Why were these horrible things pricking my thoughts, but there wasn’t a moment where I never thought this.

I know Daniel will never love me.

I know he won’t give me, his wife the love he as a husband should give.

But the main question was, why did he ever get married to me in the first place?

I heard banging on the bathroom door, “Sid, hurry up!” I heard Sophie shout, so quickly washing my hair and scrubbing myself clean I got out of the shower wrapping a towel tightly around me. I opened the door and went straight to my small bedroom changing into some tracksuit bottoms and loose top.

My ginger blonde hair hung loosely down my shoulder as I trudged down the stairs towards the kitchen, as I entered Sophie whipped round and admired her work. Few minutes later Luke and Nate turned with wide eyes,

“What’s wrong?” I asked, taking my hair in my hand and looking at it curiously trying to figure out what was wrong.

“You look...,” Luke said, struggling to find the right word but Nate got there before him,

“Absolutely stunning,” he finished for Luke grinning at me. Now that was the Nate I loved and knew so I moved forward and gave them both a big hug.

“Now now, stop all admiring my lovely work and eat your food,” Sophie said, we all laughed and went back to eating.

We revised the plan going through it several times, Luke and Sophie were in charge of the others while Nate and I went to practice some shooting skills and he taught me some defensive moves.

“C’mon Sid,” he shouted, “move,” I leaned in to punch him but he tripped me and I landed on the floor with him on top of me.

“Shit,” I cursed, he held out his hand for me which I took gratefully but the force he applied I landed on his chest.

“Why are you so keen on saving him?” Nate whispered, my body froze because to be honest I wasn’t so sure myself I just knew it was the right thing to do.

“I...I – he is my husband,” I managed to say, shaking my head gladly Nate dropped the subject and we carried on training.

It was four in the afternoon, I was drinking my coffee as I waited for her to dress my up ‘her way’ as she said it. Sitting on my bed I was all cosy until Sophie came ordering me,

“Strip,” she told me in one word, my mouth hung open and I look down in embarrassment, “we share the same parts honey, now hurry up we have little over an hour left!” she shouted, I quickly stripped and stood in my pants and bra in front of her.

She flung a vest at me which I gladly slipped on and some short black shorts that barely covered my butt,

“How do you expect me to wear this?” I asked, there was no way in hell I was going out with these shorts.

“Just wear this,” she chucked another dress at me, it was a gold designer dress that came up to my knees for which I was grateful for, “sit, hurry!” so I let her do her stuff on me once again.

Suddenly I started to worry, what happens if things didn’t go as plan? What happens if someone ends up getting hurt? My heart started to race and hands became clammy, taking deep breaths I calmed myself and looking at the work Sophie had done on me.

“Daniel sure won’t see this,” Sophie reassured me, “here, wear these pumps it’ll be easier to run in them if you need to,” I grabbed my jacket and slipped on the pumps.

“Let’s go,” I spoke loudly trying to calm myself in the process.

Standing at the bottom of the stairs was the gang with Luke telling them what to do and they all seemed to listen intently and Nate look into the distance thinking hard. Sophie’s heels clicking down the stairs drew all their attention on us, I felt myself blush under such intense gazes.

Upon reaching the bottom Luke gave Sophie and small kiss on the lips, they were such an adorable couple while Nate gave me a small hug whispering, “You look beautiful Sidney,” his words sent tingles down my spine and I let a smile creep onto my face.

“Here, use them if you need to,” Luke handed both Sophie and me a gun, Sophie slipped it into her hand bag and passed one of her bags to me so I did the same.

“Let’s go,” Nate announced, everyone moved so I assumed they knew what to do a hand grabbed my own hand and steered me towards a BMW but it was too dark to tell what model it was, “you need to be careful tonight,” Nate told me as we both got into the car.

“I will,” the drive to Amy’s house was short but it felt like forever. As Nate entered through the gates, I started to shake in fear please God make everything go right.

The car came to a sudden jerk and my eyes flew open, Nate had gotten his phone and sent a message to Luke before locking his gaze with mine.

“Remember, whatever happens everything will turn out for the best,” he gave my hand a little squeeze, I quickly readjusted my fringe and whirled my hair around so that most of my face was covered I looked pretty decent.

Nate had his arms around my waist and pulled me close to him, I could feel his heart racing and body rigid from the tension in the air but we past the entrance perfectly.

“We are doing just fine,” Nate whispered in my ear, I nodded my head and smiled to anyone who walked past us but a bit further down I saw Daniel with his arms wrapped around Amy.

That could’ve been you.

Daniel is your husband not hers, at least not yet he isn’t.

Balling my hand into a fist I clenched my jaws calming my sudden fury, Daniel saw Nate and headed this way.  When he reached us, he gave Nate a pat on the back and eyed me I was holding my breath and hoping he didn’t recognise me. He couldn’t have looked any sexier, everything about his was defined and he definitely was one hot Greek God.

“Who’s this chick?” he asked Nate, I took the opportunity to excuse myself to the bathroom. I wasn’t sure why but being around Daniel had this effect on me and I don’t know whether it was a good one or not.

“It’s fine,” I reassured myself, “we will get through the night,” as I exited the bathroom I looked around and saw that there weren’t many guest most of them were guards which I assumed had guns on them so I did my best flirting with them.

“Hey gorgeous,” I tried seducing him, my hands moved towards his trouser belt where his gun was as he kissed me, gosh this guy was desperate. I took the gun and slyly placed in the inside pocket of my jacket before I pushed him off me, “later babe,” and I left him hanging.

I texted Sophie and told her to do the same, hopefully she’ll do it better than me but I wasn’t sure if Luke would allow her. Thirty minutes of waiting around, I went back to Nate who was standing there talking to a man, I took his arm and we excused ourselves.

“Where have you been?” he hissed, I was shocked but I composed myself answering him,

“To the toilet, then I got some guns off the guards,” I gave him and small wink forcing out a laugh.

“We need to go to a private room,” Nate told me as he guided me, “I already told Luke where it is so don’t worry,” he reassured me.

“Let’s go,” we headed to the rich private room, it was larger than a large room yet it had a very unique sense to it. In the room was Amy holding her Dad’s arm, Daniel leaning against the window casually making him look even more hotter and we just entered. From the corner of my eye I could see people against the back door of the room.

“Ahh, glad you could make it Nathan yet your toy piece was not needed,” murmured Amy’s father. There was a slightly silence before Daniel spoke,

“What were you going to talk to us about?” Daniels voice was firm yet curious but he didn’t know what they had planned. There were kind of stupid since they couldn’t recognise me, or maybe the wine was taking its toll.

“Well it’s simple really Dan honey,” Amy smirked, her father handed her some documents which she threw on the table near Daniel, “sign it,” she ordered him. Daniel’s brow quirked up, and he was confused as if he didn’t know what game they were playing.

“What’s all this about?” Nate asked curiously, Amy swished round and held the gun pointing at Nate’s direction. I backed up against the door we had just entered in twisting the look ever so slightly acting scared.

“No way,” Daniel whispered, “Amy baby if this is a sick prank honey not right now,” he spoke frustrated after reading the papers.

“Just sign the goddamn papers Daniel,” Amy ordered, “I want everything you own, because you killed my mother,” she screamed at him but still held the gun pointing towards Nate. I saw Luke and Sophie outside binding their time, finding the right moment to come in.

“You are such a spoil bastard,” she said, “you sign the papers or he dies,”

“Babe, let’s talk this out please, “Daniel pleaded, he couldn’t believe what he was seeing slowly I grabbed my purse and opened it.

“Last chance Daniel,” she warned him.

“No,” he spoke and when that word came out of his mouth a shot was fired.

Someone was hit.
