Anna’s POVI was surprised to hear this. This meant that Charlotte was not what I thought she was. She had more wisdom than I expected from her. Keeping such detail from me was impressive.“But she doesn’t know about us, does she?” I asked carefully.“She doesn’t,” Smith replied. “I know you must have agreed to eat and go clubbing with her just to hear the past relationship I had with Elena. You could have just asked me and I would have told you. It is not that deep.”“Really?” I asked him carefully.“Sure, I don’t need to keep a secret from you since it is in my past. Didn’t you tell me about your past relationship with Dan? That was a wilder ride in all senses,” Smith told me sharply.“Then tell me about it!” I told him in anticipation. Sally was here already and she got into the back seat. She muttered nothing and Smith carried on like he didn’t see her. He was now driving and telling me this.“It was after Elena collapsed that I realised I liked this girl. I was really conservativ
Anna’s POV“Yes, it is something I have confirmed…” Charlotte replied innocently. She didn’t realise the implication of what she had just said.“Stop saying rubbish!” Smith shouted at Charlotte. I would count this as suspicious as well. I could see Charlotte thinking hard.“A straight man and a gay man have the same physical features. The best way to find a man who is straight is to see his performance in bed. How did you confirm that Smith is not gay?” I asked her carefully. I didn’t know why I was taking up the role of an investigative officer here.“I never confirmed…” Charlotte replied. “I swear it was a slip of the tongue. I have seen my boss's erection once in a while too but that is all. Also, I don’t mean his bare erection. I meant the bulge in his trousers.”“Oh!” I exclaimed.“Exactly,” she replied. “I am not capable of doing things like that. Since you know the boss's relationship with Elena, I am free.”I took a deep breath.“You aren’t going to ask us about our relationsh
Anna’s POVI was very scared to see this happen right in front of my eyes. It was more scary since we had no protection. The car was just a normal one. Bullets would penetrate the glasses for sure.But I was composed. Smith locked the doors and we were shut inside. I started to use my phone. My hand was shaking but I had to call Andy. He needed to know our location to rescue us.The men surrounded us and I could see them loading up their guns. Their leader was in the front pointing at our window.“I might end up killing both of you like this!” he shouted. “How about you just come out now? I have no other motive. All I want to do is to keep you guys around. I can see a girl there too. She can serve as a toy for me while I wait for the ransom!”“What makes you think like that?!” Smith shouted back at me. “You brought only eight men including yourself. I think it is too small to capture me. You know who I am. Back off while you can.”I could see Smith sending a text message to someone. I
Anna’s POVI took the sedatives but I couldn’t sleep. Smith got back late at night and it was when he held me in his arms that I had a bit of comfort. I cried due to the fear of death. In that moment with bullets flying around and Smith defending us, I wondered what would have happened if his plan backfired. What if the man was faster and he shot Smith first. That means both of us would be dead. Andy and William would have arrived to pick up our bodies.Shrills and goosebumps.I used to think I was invisible but I had always been wrong. I was just a normal human being who was afraid of death. Living was a big privilege for me. I still had a lot of dreams that were unfulfilled. It would be unfair for me to die like that.Smith laid me to sleep but I woke up thirty minutes later. By that time, he was sleeping already. I wanted to see his face but I knew he would wake up if I turned the lights on. I stayed like that and watched him sleep. Every sound I heard frightened me. I could not ge
Gareth Anna's POVI sauntered into the room only to see the unexpected. I could hear my heart beating louder than ever.They were on the bed and they were naked. This was simply unbelievable. I was overwhelmed by this revelation.I could see my boyfriend, Dan, together with my step sister, Emily, having sex. Emily was actually riding him while he grabbed her waist.“What!” I finally screamed. It turned out that I had forgotten to scream before. I had been too overwhelmed to make a sound.Dan and Emily finally knew I was in the room and they seemed to be quite shocked. I was hurt and my heart was in need of repairs. As I glanced at Dan, I felt like demanding an explanation.But they didn't stop.“Look here, babe,” Dan told Emily right in my presence. Dan began to kiss Emily and the latter responded. They were kissing passionately and this was just like stabbing my heart.I couldn't take this scene anymore. I knew the relationship was over since Dan had acknowledged Emily in my presence
Gareth Anna's POVI still had unclear eyes and the next day, I was going to find out more about this. I went to bed with a take-home worry. Sam's words kept on echoing in my head.“Tomorrow, you will get married…” ___________________It was the creaking of the door that woke me up the next day. I woke up with a hangover due to too much alcohol consumption the previous day. I looked towards the door only to see Emily with a devilish smile. This got me scared and I almost jumped off the bed. “Calm down, little girl!” Emily smiled wildly while showcasing her dentition. If I was to be truthful with myself, she had a very nice set of dentitions. However, her flaws made her teeth look like that of the devil.I stood up to confront Emily. I wasn't going to allow her to bully me early in the morning.“I am your elder sister, Emily…” I told her simply. “That is enough reason for you to know that I am not a little girl.”“Okay, big girl…” Emily laughed at me. “You are such a big girl with no
Gareth Anna's POVI looked forward and saw our maid with a tray in her hands.“Oh! I'm so sorry,” she apologized as she tried to close the door. This caught me feeling shy.“Wait!” Smith called the maid back. “You are here to give us something, aren't you? Come and drop the tray here on the table!”The maid entered slowly and I felt more shy. I tried to get off Smith but he held me back steadily. Right now, his hands were on my waist. I rested my head on his muscular chest as I surrendered. The maid put the tray on the table and walked out of the room. It was quite awkward for me to be with Smith in this position alone. But it felt so good. I felt protected. I felt desired and I felt comfortable in this position as time passed. He began to tap me on the back softly while rubbing my hair from time to time.I slept peacefully. I loved being in Smith's arms. Truthfully, this was the first time I was being held like this. I felt like a baby in his arms. It dawned on me that I had been i
Anna's POVI was lost for words here. I didn't know which one to focus on right now. I just received shocking news from Smith that he was a billionaire. When I haven't recovered from this, my stepsister, Emily points a gun at me and Smith.“Please don't shoot…” I begged. “I have done nothing to deserve death from you. Put the gun down and let us discuss peacefully.” “Just shut up and raise your filthy hands!” Emily shouted at me. I had to raise my hands but Smith didn't raise his own hands. He kept on looking at Emily and this was strange.I thought Emily would tell him to but with the way she was looking at him, I needed no one to tell me that she was in love with him. She must have found out his true identity. I saw this as a bad method of confessing your feelings. If I was in Smith's shoes, nothing would lead me to Emily. “I have handled a lot of guns in my life and basically, I can differentiate!” Smith said calmly. “What you have there is a fake gun made of plastic. I don't kno
