I couldn't breathe. I wasn't expecting this. I was expecting him to shoot me, push me out or something, anything but...marriage.
The whole idea of marriage always scared me. One person for life, and if you want to get out, you've got to pay a LOT of money.
I stared at B, time felt like it froze. His face was happy, yet anxious. I stared at him.
This is your kidnapper Julie.
Yeah but-
Think about Lawli
Of course but-
You could be throwing away so much-
Damn it!
Beyond sat on his knee, a flash of disappointed anger crossed his face for a split second. Something seemed so familiar about him. His eyes, his scent, hell even his jam addiction. Maybe this is what I need.
"Yes" I said staring at his big, gorgeous, red eyes. His face lit up, his smile was wider than anything I had seen him smile before. He jolted onto his feet and warmly embraced me. "Julie you've made me the happiest person on the face of this Earth!" I smiled, happy with my decision, but Lawli was still in the back of my mind.
L's POV
"Watari, have you gotten the plane ready?" I asked hurried.
"Why yes, but if I may, why are you going to Australia?" He inquired.
"Well" I began, "there is a very, very strong chance that Julie and her kidnapper are in Australia.""How do you figure?" Watari asked, concerned I was on a wild goose chase.
"Trust me Watari" I reassured him "she's there, I know it."
"Whatever you say" he replied.
"Shall we go?" I asked "the flight leaves in a couple of hours and I'm hoping to pick up some chocolate cake and coffee before the trip."
"Of course" he replied.
I sat down in my seat and pulled out my laptop, hoping to solidify all of the evidence I have. As I browsed through records of both Julie and Beyond, my hands shook. I was worried about her safety. Beyond was a killer, a ruthless, violet one at that. God only knows what he's done to Julie. I swallowed hard at the thought.
Hopefully she is safe. I highly doubt Beyond would kill his childhood sweetheart.
I took a bite of my cake, in an attempt to relax. Beyond needs to know that Julie is mine, she will always be mine and that she Loves me and I Love her, and that's something Beyond will never change.
