Chapter 71

#Chapter 71 (Arina) – Plan Unraveled

Jonathan, Jess, Rock, Melissa, Boris, and Nikini were all staring in our direction as we approached them. Ronnie had called out to stop her mother from attacking Nikini and Boris; it looked as though it was about to get ugly.

After the initial shock went across Jonathan’s, it was replaced with anger as he registered that I was standing right there. I wasn’t going to let him fight all these people without my help. I wanted to do my part and help keep my family safe, just as much as he did. It was wrong for him to keep me in the shadows.

“Arina,” Jonathan growled, storming over to me. “What are you doing here?”

“I came to help,” I told him.

“You were supposed to stay with Erick and keep Emee safe,” Jonathan hissed.

“Emee is fine,” I assured him.

“You mean to tell me the kid isn’t even here?” Rock shouted.

“Rock and Melissa, you are under arrest for an attempted kidnapping,” Boris announced, revealing a couple of sets of handcuffs.
