Read Stone (The Forbidden Love Series Book 1) for Free Online

step outside of prison, but I wasn’t happy that this old bitch was picking me up and Maddie was nowhere to be found. I walked towards Lacky, not her .
    “Let me do the talking.” He said giving me the ‘ be patient’ look.
    “Yeah…sure.” I leaned against his car thinking about the first thing I was going to tell him to do when we got in.
         He stood talking to her for a minute. She was shaking her head, I’m sure she was arguing with him. She always had to have the last word. Even when Ana died. She had the last word. Bitch.
    “Let’s go Tiny…I mean Stone. ” He smiled. He was such a cool guy. I couldn’t ask for a better friend, especially, since I didn’t have any friends. My friends were Maddie and the kids. Where is she? My body was twitching and I could feel the spasm of anger building up inside of me.
    “Lacky, can you take me to the apartment?” I glanced over at him.
    “Not right now. Right now we have to go to your probation officer. You’re on probation for the next five years, even though your case was overturned.” He looked at me through the corner of his eyes. “You still had a weapon, remember?”
    “This is bullshit!” I shouted. “It was self-defense! I already did six years. Time serve goddammit!” I shouted.
    “Take it easy, Tiny.” He said lifting one hand off of the steering wheel trying to reach out to me.
    “Don’t call me that anymore. My name is Stone .”
    “Okay…Stone. You need to calm the fuck down. There’s no need to lose your head.” His voice changed. He seemed annoyed. I didn’t give a damn. He better take me to see Maddie.
    “Lacky, where is she?” The pain in my heart was deep. She knew exactly what to do to hurt me, but why was she even doing it?
    “They weren’t able to contact her. Look, as far as I know…she moved. She’s not in the apartment anymore. I have a private investigator on her trail. You know…to keep her and the kids safe.”
    “Moved? Where? And…keep her safe from what?” My heart was pounding again. I knew damn well why she wasn’t safe. Please God, don’t let it be from Sly, please. This is all my fault.
    “To the city.” My eyebrows furrowed at the same time my anger was building up in my gut. Why didn’t she tell me? We never kept secrets from each other?
    “The city? How can she afford to move to Syracuse?”
    “I heard she got a job. She’s doing really well.”
    “She left me behind, Lac. Why?” I tapped the window with my finger. I really wanted to punch and shatter it. Goddamit, What the fuck is going on?
    “She had to run, Stone.” I turned my head and glanced over at him. He was serious which told me…she was in trouble.
    “Run? From what ?” I asked, the anger boiling inside of me.
    “From Sly.” I pictured her beaten before he even finished saying his name. Now my pulse was racing out of control.
    “Sly?”
    “Apparently, he came looking for his money. He…He…” He was hesitating to finish his sentence. This was bad. This was really bad.
    “Come on say it! What did he do?” I barked. I was ready to grab him by the throat.
    “He slashed Daniel’s face with a knife.” He whispered.
    “He what? Oh my God! I’m going to kill that motherfucker!” I shouted. I felt the heat rising in my face, the blood boiling in my veins and my heart thrashing against my chest all at once. I was going to implode. I did this…ME…it’s my fault Daniel’s face was slashed . So help me God…I’m going to kill him.
    “You’re too late, someone already did.” I glanced over at him. He was shaking his head.
    “M…Maddie?” I muttered.
    “We’re not sure. I’m on the case. There’s no evidence leading to her, but his gang doesn’t care and…they’re after her Stone. I’m afraid for her, but so far, nothing has happened.”
    “What about Daniel?” My heart sunk into my stomach. I love that little boy with all of my heart and look what I did. Jesus, that motherfucker is lucky he’s
