Unforgettable by Abby Reynolds Read Free Book Online Page A

the fury. My attraction to her never changed. I wanted to be inside her, I wanted to make love to her. That was something that couldn’t be denied. But now I understood how long it would take us to ever get there. And I didn’t blame her for that. I couldn’t even imagine how horrific that experience was. I didn’t want to.
    I had a lot of questions about that night. But she was too emotional and I was too upset to ask. I just needed to hold her. I couldn’t understand how a guy would take advantage of something beautiful in that way. If they couldn’t get laid, they should just use their hand to get their fix. I never, ever wanted to have a daughter. It was already painful enough with Livia, but I couldn’t imagine how bad it would feel if it were my little girl.
    “I’m sorry about everything,” she whispered.
    “It’s okay. Water under the bridge, babe.”
    “But I know I hurt you…”
    “It’s irrelevant now.” My hand moved to her neck and touched the strands of her soft hair. “Livia, I want you to know you’re safe with me. No one will ever hurt you again—I’ll see to it.”
    The emotion burned in her eyes. “I already knew that, Scotty.”
    “Just making sure.” I stroked her hair until her eyes fell heavy. I watched her face as sleep took over. When her lips parted slightly and her breathing became even, I knew she was gone. I stared at her, organizing all my thoughts and emotions.
    Now I had five people to murder. I couldn’t tell Liam the truth so how would this work? I guess I’d have to chase down the remaining five guys on my own. And murder them in cold blood.
    Livia finally confessed the truth, so this made my life a little easier. Now I could just ask her for the names. I could kill them off like flies. They would search for the bodies but never find them.
    My hands started to shake from thinking about it.
    I couldn’t sleep. I knew nightmares would take me. Instead, I stayed awake, watching Livia sleep.
     
    “Come over tonight and I’ll cook dinner,” I said as I walked her to her car.
    “You can cook more than breakfast?” she teased.
    “A lot more.” I gave her a smile even though I was dying inside.
    “Then count me in.”
    I opened the door for her. “Sounds good.”
    She put her purse down then turned back to me. “Can I…spend the night too?”
    Did she really need to ask? “Livia, you’re welcome here anytime. If you wanted to move in, I wouldn’t mind.” I really wouldn’t. Then I could keep an eye on her at all times. No psychos would come after her because they would know she lived with a damn grizzly.
    She smiled slightly. “Okay.”
    I kissed her cheek. “I’ll see you later, babe.”
    “Bye.” She got inside her car then drove away.
    I wasn’t going to school today. No. Fuck no .
     
    Liam opened the door with a confused look on his face. “Don’t you have class right now?”
    “Forget school.” I came in uninvited.
    “Please come in,” he said sarcastically.
    I gripped my skull while I paced across his living room.
    “What’s on your mind?” Liam asked.
    “Livia came to my house last night.”
    “And?” Hope was in his eyes.
    “She told me the real reason why she ended it.”
    He crossed his arms over his chest.
    “Since she was raped she assumed I would be disgusted with her and want nothing to do with her.”
    He sighed. “I was wondering if that was it.”
    “She thought she was doing the right thing.”
    “Then why are you upset?”
    “Because…she told me what really happened.”
    Silence stretched while Liam watched me.
    “It’s a lot worse than I initially thought.”
    “Meaning…?”
    “I can’t tell you…but it’s bad, Liam.”
    He nodded. “I understand. How can I help?”
    “I still need to rip that guy’s head off. You need to hold his shoulders while I snap his spine.” The hatred spewed out of my mouth.
    “Are you going to ask her for a name?”
    “Yeah. I didn’t want to do it yesterday because
