FIFTEEN
"I miss that house."
Gabe's voice as she stirred the soup made the other two people in the room turn to her. One of the two women cutting vegetables frowned.
"How long will we be staying here?" Jill asked, resting her chin on the table.
Ever since the Duffal family was killed, she'd been daydreaming more often because there wasn't much work she could do while staying at home for the witnesses. She and her fellow maids gossiped more and sometimes even daydreamed when they had finished all the work in the house.
“Put in the vegetables, Gabe. Don't daydream like Jill." Amanda snorted.
Jill pursed her lips in annoyance. Amanda never changed, she was always the one to nag at them the most when they weren't working and gossiping too much.
"I think Jill is a little heartbroken." Gabe giggled. She received a glare from Jill, but she continued to mock her.
“She likes Calvin, you know? Too bad Calvin talked to Catherine more. And no

DESPERATE LOVE SIXTEEN
The rest of the afternoon they spent in tense silence. Their conversation during the day produced nothing but irritation in Calvin and determination in Hazel. She wouldn't help the man in the slightest if it meant putting Emily in danger. Of course she wouldn't trade Emily's safety for the life of a stranger who suddenly wreaks havoc on her peaceful life and then suddenly pushes her into the abyss of trouble. Oh, that really sucks. But Calvin is really annoying. The silence he showed made her afraid just to get out of the room she shared with Emily.The girl whined all afternoon after waking up from her nap. She became more energetic and she used all her strength to whine at her in frustration. Emily kept whining at her wanting to go outside and find the treasure. While outside she could hear the sound of Calvin's footsteps and the activities Calvin was doing outside to show her that he was outside and that she had to stay in the room with Emily."Mommy, why don't we f

"She’s asleep?" "Deep sleep. She was full of cheese omelet. She kept telling me about you. You made her eat vegetables." "She does not like veggie?" “Since she was a baby she always vomited when I made her food with mixed vegetables. After this she will become a veggie monster.” She thought Calvin would be happy to know that he had become a little girl's idol, but he wasn't. The man remained cold and as if he was unaffected by whatever emotions were bubbling around him. “Girls are normal when they want a father figure. You never took her to meet her father?" "What for? She's fine with me. Emily doesn't need her father." "The kid misses the father figure." Hazel was silent. In all the years she lived with Emily, she had never heard someone rebuke her as openly as Calvin. She was even surprised to see Calvin insisting on telling her that Emily missed her father. It wasn't something she hadn't been aware of all along. She
DESPERATE LOVE EIGHTEEN
This morning before they parted from Calvin, the little girl had a chance to chat with the man. There were some things they talked about that they giggled together. Meanwhile she had to be patient just to see them from a distance because Emily said it was a secret for both of them. "Mommy, is Calvin out of the house now?" "Maybe. Mommy doesn't know either." While bathe Emily, now Hazel's thoughts drifted back to Calvin. Believe it or not, she was now very worried about the man. Sometimes she thought, what if the police managed to find him while the man was on his way to look for evidence in the Duffal family murder case? Will the man still be able to escape one more time from the cops? It would seem a little impossible. There is no mercy for criminals who have escaped from a first-class prison. If Calvin was caught again, he would definitely be placed in the strictest prison ever. And maybe the man's case doesn't need to be tried again. In other words, he wou

"How? Does the tool work?” They immediately got into the police car, but neither of them started the engine for a while. Richmond is now actually using a headset and is starting to focus his concentration on listening to the sounds or voices that come from his headset. “Emily, it's time for bed honey. Don't force Mommy to punish you by not eating ice cream for a week." Richmond signaled to Michael with his thumb that everything was work. The bug device he had placed under the woman's living room table was powerful enough to monitor her for several days. "We need to prove that Hazel Hayes wasn't brainwashed by Calvin McAdam." "That woman isn't the type to be brainwashed easily," Michael replied, listening to Richmond as well. Most of the noises he listens to are the screams of girl giggling when their mother does something she finds funny. “But things like that can happen. Or maybe stockho
DESPERATE LOVE TWENTY
The restaurant is right on the corner of a busy Third Ave intersection. From any side when pedestrians pass or motorists pass, the restaurant will be seen very clearly with its bright yellow plaque. Emily, who saw the legendary restaurant, immediately shouted with joy at her mother so that she could buy a cup of her favorite McDonalds ice cream. Hazel ignored her daughter's whimper for a moment. Currently the focus is only on the pedestrians who are crowding around the McDonalds restaurant which looks so crowded at lunch time. She had made a deal with Calvin before they parted ways to carry out their respective duties. She told the man that she could not follow his plan if she was still a kidnap victim with her daughter. She certainly didn't want to risk Emily's life if she decided to join Calvin without consideration. So she comes up with a brilliant idea to outwit the geeky law enforcement officers while they travel to Idaho to gather evidence of past crimes that may still
DESPERATE LOVE TWENTY ONE
The Space Needle looked crowded, even busier than Hazel could have expected. The one hundred and eighty-four meter high observatory in fact managed to attract the attention of many people, both local and foreign tourists. Since the beginning the Space Needle was built as an icon of the city of Seattle and also to attract many tourists to visit Seattle. Calvin should be happy to be here, Hazel thought irritably. A few minutes ago they had just been arguing about Hazel's preferred location which was obviously very risky and very crowded. The man vehemently blamed her for never telling him about this place in the first place. But Hazel could also blame the man because he didn't ask at all when she told him to leave a message on Cassie's voicemail with a strange message that only the two of them knew. “There is a five percent discount on ticket purchases for active soldiers like you. I'm sure you've never been here before." Hazel purposely mocked Calvin to make the man e
DESPERATE LOVE TWENTY TWO
Pedro's cell phone vibrated gently in the pocket of his slick ironed pants and a long shirt top that was no less slick with the expensive pants he was currently wearing. Expensive clothes, handsome looks, and a charming smile are Pedro's charms that no one will be able to resist. Since he could make millions of dollars overnight, he no longer wanted to be the pathetic bum he had been so underrated in New Orleans. It could be said that his life has now drastically changed, from a dirty ugly boy to a rich and attractive adult man. "Yes, what is up?" He answered directly without further ado. While small talk wasn't his trademark, the person on the other end wouldn't want to hear a bunch of bullshit from him either. "What about Emma Shelter?" “Right in front of me. Two hundred meters in front of me, playing with five children who are so noisy. Her other comrades don't seem to care at all." Pedro took the time to glance at another young woman who was sitti
DESPERATE LOVE TWENTY THREE
Their journey was smooth at first. There were no strange things they encountered on the way. Calvin who is driving the car looks very calm. His instincts didn't give any warning at all. A hat covered his head, sunglasses perched over his nose, and he looked haughty. To get out of Seattle, they avoided the main road. They avoid cctv cameras installed at various points on the road as much as possible. Better to take a detour than to have to deal with the police. Neither Hazel nor Calvin, they would take that risk. But because their journey had been too smooth since earlier, it made Hazel very sleepy. She then asked Calvin's permission to turn on the radio. Though she used to drive herself if she wanted to visit her mother out of town on weekends, but this was very boring. The most boring trip she had ever taken because she didn't go with Emily. She couldn't chatter with the girl, while Calvin was a very quiet man who didn't like to talk. “Do you mind if I play
