Page 84 of Her Dark Obsession

“Okay, deal.” Aurora smiles. Until the sound of tires on gravel has her frowning. “Fuck.” She stands and rushes over to the window.

“Aurora, get me out of these,” I tell her.

“It’s the Irish,” she says. “How the hell did they find us?”

I probably should have mentioned that there’s a tracking device in my wallet, my shoes, and my belt. My parents are paranoid of me being taken. They can’t lose their heir. But I’m not worried about that right now. I’m worried about her and what they’re going to do if they get to her.

“Aurora, you need to fucking untie me. They cannot find you here,” I call out to her.

“Okay.” She comes over and unlocks the cuffs.

I shake out my arms. “Is there a back door?”

“Yeah.” She bends down and picks up a bag. “Follow me.”

I don’t know why I listen to her, but I do. I trail behind her, dropping my wallet to the ground before losing my belt and kicking off my shoes.

The sound of the front handle jiggling has me pushing her faster out the door and closing it behind us. All I can see is forest.Where the hell did she take me?

“We need to run,” I whisper.

“That way.” Aurora points to the left. “But first, I need to do something. You go. I’ll catch up.”

I look down at her as she digs around in her bag. “Yeah, that’s not happening. What are you doing?”

“Creating chaos.” She smirks at me as she holds up a hand grenade.

“Fuck no. Get up.” I pull at her arm.

“Wait! We need that,” she says, reaching for the bag. She scoops it up again and I drag her along the yard. When we reach the edge of the woods, she slips out of my hold.

I turn around to grab her again, but she’s already running back towards the house.Fucking hell, this girl is going to get us both killed.

I follow after her, stopping when I see her arm sling back and the grenade launch through the air. It lands by the cabin before detonating.

“Aurora!” I yell out. But she doesn’t turn around. She’s staring off into the distance. I follow her line of sight and freeze.

No. This is not happening.One of my father’s men has a rifle pointed at her. And when I step closer, I see the bright-red light aimed at Aurora’s forehead.

I dive for her, and the sound of a single gunshot pierces the air, right before both of our bodies hit the ground…

Connor and Aurora’s story is not over yet, continue their obsessive crazy love in His Deadly Devotion.
