Conquered: She Who Dares Book Two Read Online Free PDF

I look up at him. He watches me for a moment. “You’re really cut up over this.” He sounds shocked. “I thought it was the pregnant chick that has you on the ropes.”
    I laugh humourlessly. “No. I don’t even fucking know what to do about that shit.” I sigh and let my head fall back to look up at the ceiling, the gold chandelier that hangs above us proves a good distraction from my desperately over worked mind. I look back at him.
    “So, what will fix this?” He asks.
    “Fuck if I know.” I laugh. “I have a crazy bitch who I don’t even remember having sex with trying to make me claim her child. I don’t even know if it’s mine. Then I have Lilly, the red head.” He raises his eyebrows. “She wants nothing to do with me since she found out about all of it.”
    “So you cheated on her and got another woman knocked up?” He sighs, as though this sort of thing is to be expected of me.
    “No! I didn’t cheat on her. I wouldn’t do that to her. It’s complicated. We weren’t together at the time.”
    He watches me carefully, a small frown on his face. “You’re not usually one to get hung up on a woman.” He speculates.
    I exhale slowly. “No, but she was… is ‘the’ woman.” I’m surprised by my own honesty. God, soon enough I’ll be one of those pussy whipped little bitches that every guy just feels sorry for.
    He shakes his head. “Never thought I’d see the day.” He smiles a little.
    “Me and you both. I’ll tell you this much though, this shit cannot possibly be worth it.”
    He smiles knowingly and lifts his hand, flashing his gold wedding ring. “Oh but it is little brother. When you have it, it’s worth everything. Trust me. If she’s it for you then fight for her, don’t just let her go. Life’s too short for regrets.”
    I huff a laugh. “You don’t understand, with this girl it’s not a fight, it’s a fucking war.”
    He smirks. “Love is a war bro, you’ve just got to wait her out, besiege and conquer. Trust me on this. If you let her walk you will regret it.”
    For once, my dickhead brother is right. I’ve been hanging around, drinking myself stupid because she’s gone. I see her once, get rejected…what else did I expect? And now I’m turning tail and letting her run. I didn’t take no for an answer the first time, so why am I taking it now? Let her run or hang the fuck on. She may have won round one, but I will fucking win. I just have to work out how to get her back, because the alternative involves a shit tonne of depression and booze.
    I can do this. I can do determined. I can do fighting. I can do the impossible. What I cannot do is just lay down and let her go without a fight. It’s selfish of me. The selfless, decent thing to do would be to let her go, but I just can’t. She belongs with me. She’s mine. My feelings for her have never been rational, even from day one.
    “Now, what are we going to do about this pregnant girl?” He asks seriously.
    That is a good question. I haven’t got a clue.
     

Chapter Four
    Lilly
     
    It’s been a week since I saw Theo at the court house. Although I haven’t seen him in person, he sent me flowers at the beginning of the week, which I promptly threw in the bin in a rage. The card he sent read: Love is a war, so suit up sugar, because I’m coming for you. X
    It made me smile for a moment, a very brief moment, because it’s so damn cheesy. Then said rage ensued. I’m a mess right now and I don’t know what to do. Part of me is so angry at him, so hurt by him, that I just want him to leave me alone so I can go on with my life and pretend he never happened. The other part misses him so much, and longs for him. That part wants him to fight, because if he gives up on me then I’ll be forever lost without him. That part has clearly forgotten that he got another woman knocked up. It’s messed up, and I don’t know whether I’m coming or going half the time. I’m fighting my own emotions and it’s
