Free Forget Me Not (Remember Me Series) by M. G. Morgan

care what any of them thought. Thomas would want me there and if I got the opportunity then I was going in to see him. No one knew if he would make it and I wasn’t going to take any chances or miss any opportunities.
    “No one is happy about you being here.” 
    Will finally spoke, confirming my suspicions. I smiled up at him, but it wasn’t a friendly look.
    “And I suppose you’re here to tell me to get lost? Sorry to disappoint you but I ain’t going anywhere.”
    “No I’m not here to tell you anything of the sort.”
    It wasn’t the answer I’d expected and he caught me off guard. But I wasn’t going to let him know that.
    “Oh? Well if you don’t mind then, I’d rather not have the company.”
    Will let out a frustrated sigh and scrubbed his hand across his jaw.
    “Do you really have to be like this? Do you have to be an asshole?”
    I shrugged and went back to staring at my shoes. I didn’t want to talk to him, he pissed me off. He was a goodie goodie and I couldn’t stand it. Perhaps a part of me was a little jealous. There was a time when I had been good… There was a time when I had believed in black and white, right and wrong. Now my life was nothing but one big grey blur and it all revolved around Bella.
    “We need to talk, Aidan.”
    Something in the tone of his voice made me look at him. It was the same something I had seen in his face as he walked down the hall. But I couldn’t read him, I had no idea what it meant and why it had to do with me.
    “Do we?”
    “I’d say so. I know you’re looking for Thomas’ half brother. Christopher St James.”
    To say I was surprised would be an understatement. I could feel my mouth hanging open. I knew it was open, I knew I probably looked like some slack jawed idiot but I didn’t care. How the hell did he know I was looking for Christopher? What did he know? What had Thomas told him?
    “What do you know?”
    “I know where to find him. But you have to let me help.”
    I shook my head.
    “No way. You tell me and I deal with this bastard on my own. I’m not letting anyone else get involved.”
    “You don’t have a choice. If you don’t let me in, then I’m not telling you anything… I know how much this means to you, and if I were you, I’d take my offer.”
    I stood, squaring up against him. I jabbed my index finger in against his chest, enunciating each word.
    “You don’t know anything, the simple fact that you are standing here trying to persuade me to let you help me, shows how little you truly know. If you knew anything at all you’d tell me what I need to know and let me get on with it.”
    “I know he took your girlfriend. I know that’s why you’ve been helping Thomas. I have a stake in that company and I’m not willing to let Christopher run it into the ground from underneath me.”
    My anger boiled over and I grabbed him by the front of his shirt, balling my hands into fists, I tugged him in closer to my body. Our faces practically touched as I gritted the words out between my teeth.
    “I don’t care about your godforsaken company. I don’t care if it crashes and burns and you’re left with nothing. All I care about is the woman I love. All I care about is getting her back, holding her in my arms and hoping that he hasn’t done too much damage.”
    Will’s face was perfectly calm as he pushed me away.
    “You’re not the only one with someone you love in danger because of Christopher.”
    “Stacey will be fine. He’s not going to bother with her, not now that Thomas is in hospital in a coma.”
    “I’m not talking about my sister. I’m talking about the woman I came back for. She works for the company that Christopher has been stealing the money from.”
    “So?”
    Will sighed and sat down on the bench seats. He dropped his head into his hands and I watched as he seemed to take a few minutes to gather his thoughts. When he finally looked back up at me he looked older, more serious and far more capable of
