“I’ll tell her,” Anson said softly.
“You’re going with her?” Enzo asked.
“I-I am.”
“What about Bianca?” I demanded. “You’re marrying her.”
“Not anymore. She had the babies. Once I handle that, I’m leaving. LeeLee needs me. I’m going to manage her career and make sure she’s safe.”
It took everything I had not to scream my fury. He was taking her away from us. He was going tojust plaintake her.
Enzo looked at me, his Adam’s apple bobbing in his throat. He was thinking what I was. Anson had no strings left to tie him down. To keep him away.
She was fair game now.
“Don’t,” I choked out. “Anson,fucking don’t.”
He was quiet for a moment. I knew he knew what I was saying to him.
“It’s her life. She decides. I will be at her side regardless of whatever choice she makes. The ball is, and has always been, in her court.”
“Will you not tell us where she was?” Enzo asked thickly.
“I have a feeling you’ll find out soon enough. Horsemen, it’s been an experience knowing you. E, take care of yourself. She worries.” The line disconnected, leaving us in silence.
I looked at Enzo and noticed the tears on his cheeks.
“She’s leaving,” I whispered. “She’s doing it.”
“Good.” Enzo nodded, his voice strained. “I’m proud of her. She deserves to be happy and free.”
“I’m not letting her go,” I whispered. “She’s still mine.”
“I-I can’t either,” E added softly, wiping at his eyes. “I’m a selfish prick.”
I looked back at Enzo.
“I guess we have a lot of work to do, brothers,” he said softly.
“Let’s fucking do,” I said fiercely.
I’d let Rosalie go. For now, she’d be free, but I’d do everything in my power to bring her home again someday.
My feelings wouldn’t change. If I had to kill Anson Beyers to do it and kidnap her, so be it.
But she would return to us someday.
I meant it all those months ago, and I meant it now. My feelings hadn’t changed.
I loved Rosalie Bishop. Forever.

Isat in the coffee shop that Rosalie had worked at three days after Anson’s phone call. I didn’t know why I went in since I knew she wasn’t there anymore and was likely already on a plane headed to California.
Maybe it helped me feel closer to her.
