《Beauty and the Beast》Chapter 23

I sighed in frustration as I threw off the eighth dress I've tried on. We were supposed to go swim down at the lake, but I was struggling to find clothes.
I walked over to Kieran's drawer and pulled out a black v neck of his and slipped it over my body, it barely managing to reach my thigh.
But at least it reached, it was going to have to work.
A little flashing of my swimsuit may occur, but it's not like I could see them over my belly now anyways.
About two weeks left and this little girl should be here.
I calmed my breathing as I reached the bottom of the stairs and went out to the porch, who would have guessed that getting ready for the day could leave you winded.
Kieran grinned at me knowingly as he sat with Daniel, Pierre, Solomon, Alejandro, and Ezra.
So much testosterone.
I cringed at the thought and Kieran furrowed his brow in confusion.
It didn't help that it was over ninety degrees outside.
I perked up when Kieran handed me a glass of iced tea as music began to blast around us.
I sipped it and sighed.
"How are you feeling darling?" He asked me.
I shrugged and threw off his shirt, smiling once the hot cotton material was off of me.
"Better now, and don't tell me to put clothes on." I warned.
Kieran put his hands up in surrender, but broke into a smile as he stared down at me.
"You look hot ." He said grinning.
"It is like a hundred degrees out here." I said obviously.
"No, you look... hot. " he said and wiggles his eyebrows.
I chuckled as he leaned toward me and peppered my face and neck with his kisses and I struggled against him as I tried to pull away.

He pulled away grinning, watching me as I tried to steady my uneven breathing.
"I have to pee again, go out those sodas and water in the ice chest please." I said laughing.
I walked inside and up the stairs to Kieran and I's room and relieved myself and walked over to the closet, looking for my sun hat.
I gasped when I suddenly felt a hand on my throat and I was slammed against the wall of our closet, dark eyes the only thing I saw as the tall figure stood with a knife poised against my stomach, the rest of his identity hidden behind a hood and black bandanna.
He looked down at my stomach, as if he had no idea of my pregnancy.
I was definitely not going to try anything, I wouldn't risk it with how he was holding the blade against me, I could tell he knew how to use it.
He tied my wrist together behind me and shoved me forward out the closet.
I felt fear etch it's way into my blood as he walked, his blade still pointed towards me as we neared the window.
"Please, you don't have to do this." I spoke.
"Shut your fucking mouth and open the damn window." He growled out as he nudged me.
I breathed out as I opened the window slowly.
"Pleas-
I choked back a scream as his fist collided with my face and my vision faltered.
I knew wherever Kieran was, he was safe at least, our friends and family were with him.
If I wanted him to stay alive I would have to go.
I blinked away my blurred vision as I shook off the blow and climbed out the window, making sure to balance myself as I went down the ladder slowly, looking down to see the man's accomplices below me as I reached the ground.

I hissed in pain as the man nearest the truck gripped my hair, yanking my head back harshly as he placed tape over my mouth and covered my eyes with a bandanna.
I listened to the sound of a door opening and my face quickly connected with the cold metal of what I assumed to be a van.
I breathed out as I rolled on to my back, praying that Kieran was okay.
I felt the van lurch as we began to quickly move. After half an hour of silence I slowly began to form an idea in my head, and making sure no one was around me.
I sat up slowly, swinging my legs around me, trying my best to get a feel for the kind of vehicle I was in.
I winced as my shoulder blades popped as I brought my wrist in front of me.
I quickly began to gnaw at the tie on my wrist with my canines, managing to get it undone in a few minutes.
I quickly rid myself of the bandanna, tying it to my wrist.
I turned seeing a back to the van, thankful the driver or passengers couldn't see me.
I stilled as we slowed to a halt.
I crouched low, readying my stance to lunge.
I sprang as soon as I saw light, colliding with a body.
I brought my fist down three times onto someone's face, managing to wrestle a handgun from the unconscious man and then I bolted as fast as I could through the trees.
Shifting obviously wasn't an option. I had to protect myself somehow and if I had to resort to using a gun, I sure as hell would.
I could hear voices yelling in the distance as they discovered my absence.
I continued to gain speed, not pausing to look back.
I slowed as I came to a cliff, a huge thunderous waterfall poured beneath me , the only sound I was able to hear was the sound of roaring water and the erratic beating of my heart in my ears. I stared down at the water as it flowed rapidly down, it had to be nearly three hundred feet down, I only prayed there weren't any rocks at the bottom.
I knew if I didn't do it, they would only find and capture me again.
I whispered words of encouragement quietly to myself.
"Today, Tomorrow, and Forever." I whispered as I jumped.

Now he's back home in London teaching a masterclass at the Royal Academy... but so is his ex, the famous violin virtuoso Chloe Alistair. Being here with her will no doubt be awkward, considering how his fans (and his publicists) expect the two of them to get back together.But one day before class, Kyle walked in on a red-haired woman practicing her violin all alone. He found her to be rude, tactless, and utterly infuriating... and before he knew it, all the plans other people had for his life came crumbling down around him.*COMPLETE*
