His Secret Obsession
Chapter 73

(Asher)

My blood ran cold..the contents of that bag causing my eyes to widen as I glanced between Carson and Emery's dad..their expressions mirroring my own. The police officer began pulling out items..the first thing he grabbed was a brown glass bottle with clear liquid.

"Chloroform..." The officer said, making my stomach drop.

Then he pulled out a pair of handcuffs and a f*****g knife..seriously?! A knife? What was he planning to do? Why did he have all of this shit?

They also found a burner phone which had all the texts he sent Emery, and even more pictures we haven't seen before..pictures of our f*****g apartment.

There was some type of lingerie and some of Emery's damn clothes...like clothes from our fucking apartment. Then there were a few clothes of his own with a pack of condoms hanging out of the pants pockets..I couldn't look after that..I had seen enough..he planned on taking Emery..thinking she would either go with him willingly or by force... Either way he was going to take her.

"I'm right here baby, you are safe." I whispered to Emery, trying to remind myself of that too as I felt her warm tears dripping down my neck as she clung to me for dear life.

I wanted to end Ethan's life..I wanted to slit his throat and watch him bleed. I have never thought such dark thoughts in my life but I had a feeling I wasn't the only one. Jack came running up after a few minutes, obviously being told what had happened as he saw what was in the bag. The sheriff, Officer Monroe, who just arrived not to long after, had to hold him back. He wanted to kill Ethan just as much as me.

I can't believe he was willing to go this far..Emery explained to the officers what happened and how fucking Natalie showed up at her work. That was why she left the Bakery without waiting for her dad..and I knew something was wrong when Allen called saying his tire was slashed and he had to change it. I had just picked up Carson from Jackie's place and we were all on the way to Em's dad's house. I tried to call her but she wasn't picking up..that's when I knew something was wrong.

If Allen hadn't showed up or that random guy step in..I can't even imagine what could of happened.

"Considering he has broken the restraining order, we can hold him in the station tonight. I think what we found in the bag is enough to arrest him, he will have a court date to determine if their will be a bail set but I personally will speak to the judge and express how dire the situation is." Officer Monroe explained, making my body relax slightly as I continued holding Emery tightly. She was okay..she is going to be okay and this a*****e was finally stopped.

"Luke..if he gets out again..I swear I am going to kill him." Jack began, making Officer Monroe hold up his hand and narrow his eyes at him.

"I'm going to pretend you didn't just say that Jack..but I understand..we have to realize his dad has a lot of friends but I think if we get this out in the public..it will help our case. We won't name Emery but we will announce Ethan's arrest. Once it's public I have a feeling his dad will want to appease the public and show his son will be made an example of. That's the kind of guy Frank Lancaster is." Officer Monroe explained, making relief fill me as Emery pulled back. Her big hazel eyes blinking slowly as she sniffled and looked between all of us.

"I'm sorry, I..I don't know how all of this happened.." She began, making Carson curse as he clenched his hands into fists.

"Don't you fucking dare Emery..this is in no way your fucking fault. the psycho tried to kidnapp you and you are apologizing?!" Carson sounded angry as Emery's lip began to tremble once more. Carson walked up to us as I reluctantly put her down, seeing he wanted to comfort her as well..I didn't want to let her go for a single second though, so I made sure to grip her hand as Carson wrapped his muscular arms around her and squeezed her tight.

"I'm sorry..I didn't mean to yell..I just, I was so worried Em..so fucking worried." He mumbled, his voice full of emotion as her dad and uncle came over next, each of them embracing her as we finished up with the police report..They took the bag as evidence and even took pictures of Emery's arm which already had bruising. The witnesses supported everything she said and explained how they tried to intervene when the scene seemed to escalate.

After a couple of hours we were all exhausted and ready to go home..We decided to just stay at Em's dad's house for the night..to be honest I never wanted to go back to that damn apartment after knowing he had already been in it without us knowing. He took her f*****g things..what if he came in the middle of the night and watched us sleep or some shit?!

I let Carson drive my car as me and Emery rode with her dad..he wanted it that way..he had been silent this whole time and it was scary. I learned something today..Allen and Jack were two men not to be messed with. I could feel the deadly energy leaving the two of them since the most important person in their lives had been threatened. I thought Jack didn't like me..but to see how he stared at Ethan..the way he wanted to kill him and might actually do it if he had the chance...I guess our relationship isn't that bad. I truly hope this is the end of it..it has to be..there is no way Ethan can get out of this one..not this time.

I felt Em's head resting against my shoulder as I peered up, staring at her hand that was reaching forward and holding her Dad's. He was reaching behind the seat, driving with one hand as he refused to let her go.

I had never seen a bond like theirs..to be honest I have never met so many people that care for someone as much as they do for Em..she is different..she is something so special and kind. Even with Ethan she didn't yell and scream at him, she didn't call him names or curse him out..which I honestly would of preferred to be honest..but no..she was still kind and felt like she did something wrong.

Emery has the purest kindest heart I have ever seen and that's part of the reason I love her..yeah it might not he the best in these kinds of situations and she could be taken advantage of..but I will never let that happen. She will always be my kindhearted loving girl..and I never want her to change. But..I will teach her how to fight after this...I think it's about time Emery takes some self defense classes or something..then if this were to happen again, she would be able to kick the ass of whoever makes the mistake of messing with her again. Well..whenever I'm not around..but I just can't let her be alone again for a while..not until I know Ethan is locked up for good. Until then I will be stuck to her like glue.

I think it's time we move back into her Dad's place for a little..atleast until we get back from florida..then I am replaceing us a place that Emery will love. A place she can feel safe with me by her side no matter what.
