“This is bullshit,” Isnap.
“I know,” Andrew says. “She is safe with Matt. You know that.”
“I know,” I sigh. “Matt texted and said he was going to call me as soon as she was asleep. He talked her into going to a room, since we know where Walter and Leon are.”
“She’s been there for a while. I’m sure she is tired,” Natalie says.
“The moment you see that woman’s face, you are marrying her,” Andrew says. “No stopping. Nothing. You go straight to the courthouse. I got the approval for either of them to sign off.”
“Are you sure this will work?” I ask.
“It will get her living in your home. It will be you and Matt against Walter. You’ll get to do whatever you want. I think we might have something on Chambers, though.”
“Oh?” I ask.
“Yeah. Chambers was their neighbor when Myra was a kid,” Andrew says. “I am talking with the district attorney right now, andshe is filing for a change in judge due to bias. That should get her in front of another judge, and we might be able to get someone to do an emergency hearing.”
My phone rings, and I answer immediately when I see it's Matt. “Is she okay?”
“We have a problem,” Matt says. “I walked with her to her room. I left for just a second to sign off on her psych evaluation, but when I went back, they said she was in distress and being sedated. They won’t let me back in while she is sedated.”
“Fuck,” I yell. “Where the fuck is he, Andrew? She was sedated. Where in the fuck are they?”
“They’re at Leon’s house. My wife is a block down watching them,” he says, turning his phone so I can see. Three minutes ago, she texted.

They are in the living room. I have eyes on both of them.
Andrew
Let me know if they go out of view at all.
“Fuck. I’m on my way,” I say.
“Dom, they won’t let you see her. You’re not family. You’re not her doctor… wait. No. Send Natalie.Now. I don’t care what she says, but say something so she has to check on her wrists,” Matt says. “That will at least get someone in the room with her.”
“Okay. We are coming. Andrew, keep an eye on them. Tell me if we get the hearing, and we will get her there,” I say as I wave for her to join me.
“What’s the plan?” she asks as we jump into my truck.
“Natalie, I’m not going to ask you to lie for me,” I say. “I don’t know what the plan is, but I have to keep her safe.”
“Dom, honey,” she says gently. “It is absolutely imperative that I check her stitches to rule out the possibility of necrotizing fasciitis. I noticed some things that I would rather double-check than have her lose her arms.”
“Thank you,” I say, trying not to let emotion build up. She simply pats my hand, and we drive in silence.
Chapter Ten
Myra
I am lying onthe bed with my back to the door. I am so tired. Matt said he would be right back, but I am about to fall asleep. As I start dozing off, I hear the door open. I don’t move because I know Matt will just sit with me. He doesn’t say anything, which I find odd. When I roll to look at him, I immediately let out a shrill scream and throw myself out of the bed when it’s not Matt’s face that I see.
He charges at me so fast that all I can do is turn my body. Arms wrap around me, and a hand covers my mouth before there is a pinch in the side of my neck. My body starts getting weak fast, and my muscles start to give out. He scoops me up and lays me on the bed before he disappears. I am in and out of consciousness for an unknown amount of time before I feel someone pulling my pants off.
“S-Stop,” I mumble.
“Shhh,” he says. “Be still and let me fuck this tight little pussy.”
