One

Annabella

I was asleep in bed whenan obnoxious sound against the wooden surface with every ring I had no idea what tiht

Who the hell was calling me?

When the phone stopped vibrating, I ake enough to wipe the sleep from my eyes and sit up in bed My eyes were still closed because they were too tired to open

My phone vibrated again, this tie

I leaned over to grab it, rasp I pulled it to me and blinked a couple times until my vision returned The missed call was from Damien And he’d also sent a text

Liam knows

I was half asleep, so it took nificance

The three dots popped up before he sent another e He’s probably on his way over there now

I let those words sink in before I called him

He answered right away “Annabella—”

“What happened?” My voice was hoarse because I was still so tired

“He had a fight tonight Hades and I were there Then he went to the bar, and I joined him”

“And you just blurted it out?” I asked incredulously, agitated that my precious sleep had been interrupted

“No I think seeing ed his ht he fucked around, and he figured out that I ured out why I told you…” There was no re the truth was completely inconsequential

“Then what?” Knowing Liam, he tried to kill Damien on the spot

“We had words…and I left”

“He didn’t fight you?” I asked in surprise

“He was too drunk But he threatened to kill me later…”
