TRAPPED (Breaking Free Book 2) by C S Court Page A

a phone to make and receive calls and text messages, what else would I need it for?
    “ Connie I’ ve told you before, they sit in a cupboard waiting an employee to use. The broken one is insured and will be replaced and this actually costs me nothing for you to take and use, so take the thing and do as I tell you on this. Yo u’ re safety is my number one priority baby . ”
    Ugh, he does n’ t get it, since I have left Dan I have n’ t put my hand in my pocket once, I may not have a lot but that does n’ t mean the pair of them should be footing the bill for me and my kids, I’ m a grown woman for godssake and i t’ s about time I acted like one.
    “ Do n’ t, whatever argument you have just save it, I am not taking the phone back. Do you want to call Harry and have him drive all the way over here just to remove the tracker and place it in a phone of yourchoosing? I t’ s easier all round to take the phone and carry on as normal. Save the argument and go out with Lottie for a few hours, I’ ll start getting everything sorted for later while yo u’ re gone . ”
    Well that point is kind of moot .“ Err, where did Harry g …” My words are cut off by Lotti e’ s shrill shriek ,“ Ahh, oh my god, le t’ s just go okay? No need to argue with the man, he is right after all . ”
    She stalks towards me, and if looks could kill I’ d be six feet under right about now. Picking up my new phone, Lottie places it in my shoulder bag and grips my wrist gently, tugging me in the direction of the door .“ Say bye to the man Connie . ” She tells my shell-shocked self.
    I follow along obediently, throwing Hunter a half arsed wave as he follows us towards the front door.
    The woma n’ s crazy ,“ why are we rushing out the door, did I miss something ? ”
    The look she gives me is one of pure astonishment, as if I am the dumbest female on the face of the planet. I still do n’ t get why.
    She hisses the words at me, so low I almost miss them .“ Wake the hell up woman. I know your head is a bit banged up at the moment, but really? Did we not have the same conversation when you got here? Hunter does n’ t know Harry is in my bed, and for the moment I would really like it to stay that way ! ”
    Oops, yeah okay, she may have mentioned something about that .“I’ m sorry, I really did n’ t think . ”
    I loop my arm through hers, and watch her soften before my eyes .“ Yeah okay, le t’ s go and have some girl time okay . ”
    We all step in to the elevator, myself placed between Lottie and Hunter. Anyone would think I had two body guards, although the reason they have situated themselves so close beside me becomes abundantly clear as soon as the doors open to the ground floor. A rush of memories come flooding back, and I freeze, unable to move my legs.
    The lobby, thankfully is empty, but I can still picture Hunte r’ s wife as clear as day arguing with the concierge before turning her attack on me, and the entrance, where just outside Dan found me.
    My head is spinning, my breathing become short and shallow, I need to calm myself down before I pass out. And there I was thinking I was ready to move on and forget everything. How can I move on if I ca n’ t even get out of this lift?
    “ I do n’ t think I’ m ready for this. I ca n’ t walk out of those doors, i t’ s all too fresh . ” I whisper, with a hint of hysteria creeping in.
    Lottie grips my arm tighter, and Hunter places his arm around my lower back, offering me support .“ Nobody is going to let anything happen to you, I’ ve told you this baby. I have someone following you at all times, ready to step in if he dares show his face, and Harry has his men looking for Dan as we speak. Yo u’ re good, you can do this, Iknow you can. Do n’ t let them beat you, show them that no matter what they throw at you, you will always get back up and fight ten times harder . ”
    I want to, I really do, i t’ s just standing here and facing the place
