grass with Dan lying next to her, blood seeping from a small wound to his lower leg. I make my way down the ladder, heading straight from my girl and watch as the two men who separated from us earlier emerge from the conservatory and give chase after a running Dan.
    I leave them to catch the fucker and collapse beside Connie, turning her over and checking for life threatening injuries. I listen to check sh e’ s breathing and nearly collapse in relief when I hear her steady breath parting from her lips.
    Conni e’ s top is ripped, her clothes grubby and spattered with dried blood. Her face has a few cuts and scratches, but other than the blood coating her mouth, I ca n’ t seem to locate any real damage to her face. I know that does n’ t mean a thing though, without getting her stripped of her clothes and fully checked out. I ca n’ t even begin to fathom the possibility of her coming out of this unscathed, going on the history she had with that brute, my mind is reeling with what I will find under those clothes.
    I gently lift her in my arms, my sole focus being my girl, the world has faded around us, and I need to get her away from here, away from this hell hole.
    Stalking through the house, I only pause long enough to tell Harry to get his arse in the car and drive us back to my complex, throwing instructions for him to contact my doctor and have him be there waiting for us when we arrive.
    The fury rolls off of me in waves when I overhear that Dan has managed to escape back in to the vehicle he kidnapped Connie in. How did he manage to evade some of the highest trained MI5 agents? If they do n’ t track his vehicle down and locate him, I’ m looking for himself myself, I will not stop until my girl and her babie s ’ are safe.
    Connie stirs in my arms, and I vow then and there that that bastard will not get his hands on her again, I will do whatever it takes to keep her safe, and the first chance I get, I’ m taking him down.
     

   CHAPTER FIVE
     
    Connie:
     
    Eugh, what now?
    I can hear noises, shuffling sounds, and hushed whispers, but i t’ s too strenuous for me to even attempt to open my eyes. My body is sore, achy and I’ m incredibly tired. What the hell was I doing last night for it to have this effect on my body?
    And just like that it hits me, I’ m with Da n … shi t… . I need to force myself to wake up and get out of whatever situation I have ended up in this time.
    “ Connie baby, yo u’ re safe sweetheart, yo u’ re home now . ” No fucking way, surely not, it ca n’ t be him, can it?
    My eyes snap open, my gaze landing directly on to a pair of baby blues that make my heart flutter wildly in my chest. It is him, I’ m with Hunter. If it was n’ t for the soreness in my body I’ d assume I had dreamed the series of events I have just suffered through.
    I endeavour to lift my head to confirm my surroundings, needing clarification that I am in fact safe and away from Dan. The heaviness and throb that settles to the back of my head makes me flop it back down on a wince.
    Hunter immediately picks up my hand, rubbing small circles on the top of my hand as he talks, i t’ s then that I notice I have a drip inserted in to the skin .“ Gently, you need to take baby steps. You took some nasty knocks to the head, a sprained ankle, bruised ribs and dehydration, hence the drip . ” Hunter pauses, chewing the corner of his lower lip, looking unsure all of a sudden and deliberating whether to go on. The nervousness kicks in, and I worry just over what other damage Dan has subjected me to .“I’ m so sorry Connie, I should have told you about Ash, but I just never found the right opportunity, and did n’ t have the balls to bring it up any other time. I know this is n’ t the right time, but I really want the chance to tell you about her and set a few things straight. The whole situation is not as she has falsely led you to believe. If it had n’ t been for her and my reluctance to bring
