Nathan POV

I've been there on multiples occasions. Yet, I still can't remember the damn address.

"Trinity's house."

I call out to the Bluetooth GPS thats in the car.

Its been a few days since I've seen both Trinity and the kids, the reason being Robert (Trinity's dad) and I finally might have figured out who almost killed her a few weeks back.

It was either that business guy that dad became partners with or Liam.

Now, we only figured out it was either because of the phone call I overheard of Mr. Kadvick (the business guy in chapters 22-23) had with Liam.

We had found the 'missing' footage of that night and saw that Liam was talking with Sasha (the bitch that Trinity thought Nathan was cheating on with), and quite frankly this women is bad news. After they finished chatting up, Liam had brought the drink to Trinity and then it all went down.

Now, driving my way towards Trinity's to tell her about our final decision and how to catch him. Although; I'm pretty sure she'll probably deny the fact her fiancé is guilty, it's worth a shot.

"You have reached your destination." The GPS says loud enough to snap me out of my thoughts, and also make me jump a little.

I park the car in between both Trinity and her neighbor's house just because there wasn't any space in front of her house.

I turn off the car, stepping out and walk my way towards the door.

Just ask I'm about to ring the bell, I hear the voice of someone shouting.

"What about you explain to me why the fuck you did what you did?" Trinity says in a really aggravated tone.

Maybe I should leave, but I'm not. I need to hear what's up.

"Well sorry for being an asshole, if that dick hadn't talked back to me I wouldn't have done what I had done."

"What are we in? Middle school? Him talking back. Please, you were so immature, you should've just walked away and not cause a scene."

There was a moment of silence, and then a loud smack was heard.

I saw red.

That sonofabitch hit her.

He should never hit a woman, ever. Even if they got on your last nerve, its a never.

I wanted to yank this door open and give him what he deserved, but right now I shouldn't even be here.

I slowly calm my breathing and listed to the end of the conversation.

"I said, understood?" He says loudly

I cant hear her reply, but I'm assuming he repeated this question more than once.

"I'll be home at 9, I want dinner ready by then."

I hear his quick steps walking towards the door, so I quickly jump into the bushes and hope I'm hidden enough.

Liam walks quickly out the door and towards his car.

Within a few seconds, he's gone.

I get out of the bushes, brushing off any leaves that managed to get on me, and finally make my way to the door.

Ringing the bell, I get no response.

Then, I try knocking the door, but still no reply.

Shit.

I look around, looking for a spare key that might be hidden.

Suddenly, the door is opened.

I stop searching, looking up to see a tired-looking Trinity.

Her eyes were puffy, her cheek was red; where that dick hit her.

"What are you doing here?" She asks, with a weak voice.

"I thought id come and visit, since the last few days I've been busy."

"Well now's not a good time, you should've called."

Before she was able to close the door, I put my foot in front of the door making it stop.

"I heard what happened," I say in a low voice.

She doesn't say anything, just opens the door wider.

I step in with no hesitation, and hear the door close behind us.

Just as she's about to speak again, I give her a hug.

She relaxes into it instantly, and suddenly I hear her sniffle.

Her shaking increased and I just hold her.

--

She had finally calmed down, and now we're sitting in the living room with a cup of tea in each of our hands.

"I'm scared." She croaks out, her voice is still hoarse from crying only a few minutes ago.

She continues. "I'm scared he'll do something worse, not just to me, but the kids."

I shake my head. "He won't do a thing on my watch."

"But you're not always going to be here Nathan, you aren't my personal guard that will be around me every second of the day."

I sigh, knowing its time for me to tell her.

"Trinity, I have a way for you to distance yourself from him but you need to hear me out."

She nodded, and I proceeded to tell her. "We found out who drugged you at the fundraiser a few months back. We haven't stopped looking ever since it happened."

She raises her eyebrows in confusion. "We?"

"Your father and I. Thats why there were times I wasn't around, it wasn't because I was trying to get away or ignore you, it was because Robert and I were getting closer to who it was overtime. But, now we know who it is."

"Who is it?"

"Just take a minute to listen to the answer before you deny it, plea-"

"God damn it Nathan, who is it!"

"Its Liam, I mean thats what we think."

She stayed silent for a while, and closed her eyes, slowly breathing in and out.

I move closer to her, putting a hand on her cheek.

I know I'm moving a little further than I should, but every time I'm near her I can't control myself. I just want to do everything to her.

Off-topic, dude.

"Trinity, please say something."

"I believe you."

Her words took me back slightly, she didn't put up a fight. Which for Trinity is weird.

"You believe me?" I say slowly, the words still unfamiliar to me.

She nods her head slowly, taking my hand and placing it on her lap.

"There were so many times where he just seemed odd, not himself. He has changed so much since I met him, more specifically when he found out I was pregnant with your kids.

"I never thought about it in a harmful way, just that he was agitated by the fact he will never really get to call the kids his, especially after he proposed. But then, after the fundraiser, I knew it was something more. He was a lot more aggressive, always wanting me to do what he wanted and if I didn't it would just tick him off. I even had a dream that he was the one that drugged me, but I thought I was only paranoid by the sudden change of attitude. I guess my senses were right, though."

After she's done, silence takes over.

All we end up doing is staring at one another.

Her beautiful short hair up in a ponytail, her sad eyes, perfectly shaped nose, and those lips.

Oh, how much I miss these lips.

I find myself leaning in; even though, my mind is telling me its wrong, that she's too vulnerable. I still couldn't stop myself.

We were so close to one another, I could feel her breath fan my lips.

Her scent overpowering now that she's so close.

As I'm about to place my lips on hers, the sound of a cry brings us back to reality.

Wrong fucking timing.

We pull away from one another, and she suddenly stands up.

"Duty calls... Do you wanna come up?"

I only nod, not able to find the words to reply.

All I could think was I almost kissed Trinity and I wished it had actually happened.

**TA DA!

I actually posted early this time.

Now, we are 1K away from 120K, WHAT!!!!!

Its unbelievable that every day were reaching the 500K goal set.

Also, I wanted to mention that I finally decided how many chapters I want this book to be.

Its 30, maximum 35.

I know, we have 6 more to go (possibly a little more) + an epilogue.

But, think about it, if I put too many chapters this book will drag on and get boring.

So I hope this chapter will suffice till the next, which will hopefully be up by next week.**

**Sorry for any grammar mistakes.**
