17. Maddox

His Ellie

"Where the fuck is she?" Oliver raged as they entered Ellie's room. Oliver had the cameras in her bedroom hooked up to his phone and Maddox watched as Oliver rewound until it showed Isobel exiting. Moments after Yara called for their assistance.

Maddox was livid, but he needed to keep calm. "Maybe she went for medicine?"

Oliver continued his rampage. "Isobel's phone is showing it's here. Why would she leave without it?" Oliver began throwing everything off of her bed, in the process the mattress was moved, and Maddox spotted something amiss.

Maddox stepped forward grabbing the folder. "Call. Yara. Now!" he spat out.

Come to Bed. Stared back at him as he furiously opened the folder. Dread sunk deep into his gut. He knew what this was, but he desperately wanted to be wrong.

The signed NDA stared up at him. He threw it to the ground and read the first line of the next page, before letting loose a snarl.

Welcome to your Darkest Desires

"I am going to kill her. I am going to murder Yara. I will strangle her with my bare hands." Maddox's voice was icy and cold.

Oliver stopped his destruction of her room, Ellie's phone in his hand. "I missed her texting Yara, that was a distraction. Why?"

"Look at this." Maddox held the sheet up to Oliver.

"Yara is going to die," Oliver confirmed.

They were once more on the same page, but first? They needed to find their girl before this unknown chump touched what was theirs.
