Chapter 27

Tobias

H e’s trying to split us up.

I should deal with him.

Right now, he’s taking his son to school, and I watch him, calculating how to remove him from the equation. That asshole is the reason Aria isn’t fully mine. He has a little part of her heart that should belong to me.

If he isn’t in the picture, then there’s no issue.

I did some research into who Jason’s mom is, but annoyingly, she’s not someone I can use to get Ewan away from us. I initially wanted her to seduce him, but she’s on so many drugs in a psychiatric unit, she probably forgets she has a son at all.

The girl he cheated on Aria with is happily married with children, so she's out of the picture.

I have no idea why I watched him all night. I think I wanted to know if Aria would let him touch her, and if she did, I would need to deal with him. However, my girl was vomiting all night from my special concoction I’d managed to slip into her wine bottles while he made sure she didn’t choke and die.

So, I watched.

And watched.

And waited.

Like I am now.

He’s trying so fucking hard to take back what’s already mine–he wants her all to himself. Maybe I should fuck her in front of him until he understands she’s no longer his.

Having a past with him doesn’t grant him access to her new life. She’s under control, thriving, and I get almost all her attention, so why the fuck does he need to try and push his way in?

If I could get away with murder, I’d kill him, dump his body in a river somewhere and pretend he never existed. I could continue my life with Aria and not have to worry about being arrested or losing my doctor to some asshole who doesn’t even love her.

Not the way I do.

If it’s even what I feel. It’s strange. Whenever I think about her, my chest gets all tight and warm, and I grow desperate to see her. I usually open the live footage and watch her gulp down glasses of wine and watch sitcoms without me.

Right now, he’s at her parents’ house.

I’m on my motorbike nearby, watching him stand at the entrance of the mansion as his hands fly around while he talks, her father yelling at her mother before she runs in and grabs her jacket.

Great. Now they’re going to get involved. More people to potentially deal with. Getting Aria away from best friend and her ex was one thing, but her parents? That’s going to be a hard task.

My first plan is to figure out how to kill someone without being caught.

Then, I’ll take Aria away from here, somewhere safe, and keep her to myself forever.
