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

dealing with Christopher than he had earlier.
    “She’s in charge of the accounts. Thomas set up a fake merger in an attempt to have her go over everything. She’s brilliant at what she does, and if anyone was going to find out where Christopher was leaking the money then Paige would.”
    I dropped into the seat beside him. I could hear the admiration in his voice, but that wasn’t what drew all the anger from me. It was the glimmer of love for her that flickered in his eyes as he spoke about her. She meant something to him, she was important and he would do anything to keep her safe. It also meant that if I didn’t let him help he would be a giant pain in my ass… He may even become a liability if I didn’t let him get his hands dirty.
    “Let me guess, she found something?”
    I couldn’t keep the tiredness from my voice and I was tired. Tired of always playing second fiddle to these rich pricks who thought they knew better than me. Tired of always being held to ransom on something, and all because they were the ones with the money and the connections. I just wanted Bella back and there was always something standing in my way.
    “No one has questioned her on it yet.”
    “What? Why the hell not? Surely if you’re so worried about her you’d have gone to her the minute you found out?”
    “No one has questioned her because I’ve only just found out about Thomas’ plans. I was looking for her and I’ve only just found out that Thomas had her working for him. He left a letter for me, explaining everything. An incase anything happened to him type of insurance. He knew involving her would drag me into it… Hell he knew I was looking for her and he kept her working for the company, a secret…”
    “So what are you going to do?”
    “I know she’s at the office late tonight, so I’m headed down there now to talk to her.”
    I nodded, it made sense. Everything he had said to me so far made sense. I’d always known Thomas had a devious side to him. I’d always known he was capable of being nasty… The simple fact he had kept Christopher’s whereabouts from me was proof enough.
    “So, do we have a deal?”
    Will turned to me, an earnest expression on his face. How could I say no? He wanted to do the one thing I had failed to do. He wanted to keep the woman he loved safe, I couldn’t deny him the opportunity. And if I got the chance then I would use it all to my advantage. I would do whatever it took, no matter the cost.
    “You have a deal.”
    I reached out to him and we shook hands. As we shook I couldn’t help but wonder did he know that he had just made a deal with a monster? After all, only a monster could have let someone like Bella go.

 
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    CHAPTER EIGHT
     
    Bella
     
    I spotted the new girl the moment she entered the room. She had that terrified look that every new girl had. I didn’t make a sound as she burst in through the double doors, it was almost as though I’d been waiting for her all this time. There was something about her that told me she was important
    I dismissed the thought the second it entered my head. I’d learned my lesson a long time ago, no one here was important. We were simply toys, existing at Christopher’s discretion. If he wanted us dead then we wouldn’t live very long.
    I winced as the guards raced in after her, using brute force to drive her to her knees. I’d asked them in the past why they felt the need to be so aggressive. Why was it necessary to always use such force? The simple answer seemed to be that they needed someone to take their frustrations out on, the girls were an easy target. Christopher enjoyed pain far too much, it didn’t really matter to him who was suffering, male or female, just as long as they were screaming.
    I’d learned to scream a long time ago, survival demanded it. At first I’d thought I was being weak, that I was showing him my vulnerability. But then I realised there was
