Naya’s P.O.VI lost track of time. There was not a single day that I woke up without worries in my head. I was worried about Talon’s safety. I feared if Kael was going to show up any moment. I was worried about even the food I ate. I needed to be extremely cautious to safe myself from danger. Evening came and it was peaceful. I had no idea of what next to expect. Everything was happening so fast.Even though Maverick’s fate was already decided by the courts I wasn’t at peace. He was sentenced to death for multiple count charges. He was sentenced for kidnap, conspiracy and attempted murder. I wasn’t happy about the judgment because I felt no one deserved to die, but it was for the best. At least we had one villain out of our lives. But, Kael was still a free man on the streets. He could appear at any point in time. He was a dangerous man and sometimes I regretted why I ever gave him a chance in my life. I was so stupid to have thought that he’ll ever change. Instead, he got worse. T
Talon’s P.O.VI called the officers that had been on my case since my problems began. I informed them about what had happened to Naya. And, as usual they promised to begin investigation. I didn’t know what else to do. I was freaking out. Why was everything turning upside down for me? Why couldn’t I have a moment of peace? It was my mum’s fault. If she hadn’t sent Naya out of the house, I wouldn’t have had any reason to panic.“This is all your fault, mum. I don’t get why you had to send my wife out of the house. Did you even care about my feelings? She’s out there, somewhere and I don’t know where she is. Where do I start from?”“I’m sorry, Talon. I didn’t mean any harm.”“Of course. That’s the best you can say. No amount of apologies will bring my wife back to me. You just keep making mistakes.”“Please, don’t talk to me in such a disrespectful manner.”“Why shouldn’t I?”“Talon!” my dad barked. “Mind the way you talk to her. She’s still your mother. We’ll find Naya. I believe we
Greta’s P.O.VTalon’s attitude towards me made me cry. I was hurt. I wanted to teach him a lesson for making me feel worthless. I phoned my brother.“I can’t take it anymore, big brother. Talon did me dirty,” I said.“What did he do this time?”“He humiliated me. I went to his office to make him feel like a man and he talked down on me. He yelled at me as if I was a child. We need to do something fast. I’m slowly losing him completely.”“You don’t need to worry, Greta.”“How can you tell me not to worry? Talon doesn’t find me attractive. I want him back by all means but how can I get him if he doesn’t even wanna look at my face?”“I’ve already sorted out half of the problem. You have nothing to worry about.”“Really?”“Yes, Greta. Soon you’ll move in with Talon.”“What did you do?”“Naya is in my custody. She can’t escape from here. You’ll take what is rightfully yours soon enough.”“Amazing! This is like the best news I’ve heard in a long time. I’m so excited,” I said. “Just text me
Naya’s P.O.VI received a heavy slap from Greta. She slapped me because I was trying to escape. I was in pains, but there was nothing I could do to fight back. I was surrounded by people who wanted to harm me. I was frightened and I needed peace to relax my nerves.“Please, Greta I want to be left alone,” I said in pain. The men still held me firmly and they refused to let go.“Shut up, Naya. I’m not letting you go. You just tried to escape and here you are telling me that you want to be left alone. I’m not gonna grant your request,” she said. She was extremely angry. “Talon humiliated me, and for that single act of his, you’ll stay locked up till I decide to free you.” She pointed to the men. “Take her away.”The men took me back to the uncompleted building where I was tied once again. I sat on the floor for hours, praying for a miracle to come. And it did. So I thought. The men who were working for Greta roughly pulled me up from the floor. I wasn’t blindfolded so I was aware of e
Nelson’s P.O.VI was disappointed at my dad for not letting me know that he and my mum were divorced. The fact that I had been a fool all the while angered me. With anger, I stormed into Talon’s room in the hospital. I didn’t bother to knock or ask for permission from him. I needed to let him know about what I had just found out. I narrated everything I had overheard our parents saying to Talon. I thought he was going to be as angry as I was when I eavesdropped on the conversation, but he wasn’t. Even though he was shocked, he acted cool, like he knew about it all along.“We had a peaceful home when mum wasn’t around. We didn’t have to worry or argue about a lot of things. The house was peaceful without her,” Talon said.“Are you being serious?”“Yes, Nelson. I know what I’m talking about. I was still a bit sensitive when she left.”I was restless, and angry at the fact that I was the only one who was totally clueless about everything. I needed to know more about the relationship wi
Talon’s P.O.V I did as the kidnappers said. I already had the cash ready in a bag. In the middle of the night, I sneaked out of the house. I didn’t inform anyone that I was going to rescue Naya. I went to the place the kidnappers had told me to go to. But this time I came prepared. When I got to the scene, there was no sight of anyone around. I began to receive calls from my dad. He didn’t stop calling. He wanted to ensure that I picked my calls, so he didn’t give up on calling me. I ignored all the calls that I received from my dad. My mission was to get Naya back in one piece. I waited for almost an hour for the men to arrive with Naya, but no one came out. I began to wonder if they were blaming games with me. Why weren’t they out to make an exchange of the money with Naya’s freedom? Wasn’t that what we had agreed upon?While I was still trying to figure out what to do, I sighted Naya and two hefty men from afar. I was so excited to see Naya. I guess she missed me as m
Talon’s P.O.VNaya was badly bruised. I realized that after a doctor took care of her wounds. I was angry at myself for not getting there on time to help her. If I had been able to get her from the kidnappers earlier on, she wouldn’t have gotten so much injury. I was sulking when I received a phone call. I confirmed the caller to be the same unknown number of the kidnappers. I moved to a secluded area in the hospital and answered the phone call. I didn’t want to disturb Naya. She was unconscious.“Hello,” the kidnapper said. He seemed to be the head of the others. He was the one who always called. “Hello,” I said. “How could you kill my men?” he said in a high tone. He was angry.“I didn’t mean to kill your men. They tried to break our deal. We had a deal to exchange the money with Naya’s freedom, but they did otherwise. You even promised to return my wife to me untouched, but yet I found countless injuries on her skin.”“Is that enough reason to kill my men?”“I had no other choi
Kael’s P.O.VI sat in my apartment and stared at the empty walls while trying to come up with a strategy to win back Naya, the love of my life. I had been racking my brain for the past three weeks to come up with the ideal scheme to win her back. I knew it was time to make things right because I had done things wrong in the past. I took my car keys and stepped outside of my apartment. I was feeling affected by the night light because I had been cooped up inside for so long. I needed to leave and get some fresh air. I took a cab to a bar in the hopes of getting some ideas.I noticed a few businessmen as I entered the bar and realized that was my chance to put my plan into action. I walked up to the group of businessmen at the bar, smiling charmingly and projecting a sense of assurance."Good evening, gentlemen," I said, extending my hand. "My name is Kael. Mind if I join you?" The men looked up at me, sizing me up for a moment before one of them spoke up. "Sure, pull up a chair." I
