I narrowed my eyes as I walked out of the gate to see her trying to stop a cab. I quickly walked back inside and pressed my remote key. My car made a sound, and I got in as fast as I could.I started my car and drove behind the cab she just got in.I drove behind her as she was going to different places. Whenever I tried to come out of my car, she'd be talking to some strange tattooed, bald men. At 6:47 her car stopped at an enormous warehouse. It took us about an hour plus to get here. I scanned the surroundings and felt irritated. When the car stopped, I quickly noticed from a distance, as I drove slowly behind her, so she doesn't suspect a thing. She got down, paid the driver, and he went his way. There were more bushes than people in this place. It looked more like an isolated area. It was too quiet and creepy. It was a hidden and undeveloped area. Wait, undeveloped?[We found her in her car - in an undeveloped area, close to one of the unpopular bushes in Manhattan.]I sudd
My emotions were wreaking havoc inside of me. My heart was racing in my chest. If there's anything I hate! It's having to live with a two-faced snake. "You don't do that here!" She dropped my hands and gave me a dangerous stare. As if stealing my husband wasn't enough, this bitch had to get my friend to work with her in this dangerous place.I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself."Alexia, what are you doing here?" I raised a questioning brow at her.She parted her mouth and tried to say something, but she was too shocked to say a word. "Um…" She avoided my gaze.Words couldn't describe how she was feeling. How did I find her here? How did I get to know this place?What if I already know something?"How is that any business of yours?" Angelica roared in place of Alexia with an annoying tone. Her words made my blood boil. I glared at Alexia, feeling agonizing pain rip through me. She was worse than a snake.Working with the enemy. Seriously?"You now work with snakes, don't y
ReggieI had a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach as I stormed into my car after all that I just heard.Emerald Bay was the last thing I heard before the phone went off.How did Bella get hold of Angelica's phone?Were they together? Wait for what? Since when?Curse you, Angelica. I thought we had an agreement. What the fuck were you doing to my wife?I started my car and drove out of my house with so much speed. At the sound of Bella's voice, one could tell she wasn't good. She was either in danger or she was being kidnapped. She was screaming loudly, and even when I tried to ask what the problem was, she didn't respond. I think she didn't even hear what I said.She was focused on passing her message before something bad happens to her. I hope not.Emerald Bay was a popular highway in Manhattan. She didn't say it properly, but I know I heard her saying something like that, so I didn't hesitate.It was pretty late in the night and the road was quite free. Most people should be arr
Bella My body was achy and sore like every part of my body was pulled or overworked. My head was banging real good and my muscles were killing me.I touched my head and felt a Sharp pain in a particular place."Bandages?" It was wrapped around my head last night.Speaking of last night?I turned and saw Reggie talking to a doctor outside my ward.He had been here all night?Then I slowly remembered what he had given me. I raised my hand to see that the recorder was still in my hands.I had snubbed him, I didn't wanna talk to him. What was he expecting? He ditched me for that slut, was he expecting me to still see him the same way?Speaking of the devil. Where is Angelica? Recalling what happened sent chills down my spine. I felt blood rushing to my face.I remembered how the window glass shattered on my head. But Angelica? She had no seat belts so she was badly affected. I didn't care about the drips on me. I gently removed it and got up from my bed.I gently opened my door and go
We arrived at the said place. I surveyed the surroundings as if looking for something or someone to come to rescue me.I wasn't wearing a white gown or something since it was an impromptu arrangement. At least for me, not for them.They had successfully carried out their plan while I was held captive the whole week. Now I don't even know the status of my company but all I was told was that Brown would help fix it.I had known that Don was never clean, but how he got his hands on my documents and managed to loot almost all my money remained a mystery to me. And I had to get a way to get in touch with my lawyer but they were quite ahead of me. I rubbed my palm and stuck my hair behind my ear as we got down.In my mind; You can't let them trick and ruin you like this, find a way out!I stared at the people all around me. I swallowed at the thought of leaving here when Brown's bodyguards were more than the mosquitos in the cell I was thrown into."Come, I'd take you in." Brown held my ha
Just while I stood watching and thinking of an escape route, I saw a couple taking some pictures with their family.A lady who looked like the bride or groom's sibling opened the car truck as it seemed that they were packing and were about to leave. I glared at the back of the truck and a crazy idea dropped into my mind.At the corner where I hid myself, I ran into the car truck the moment I saw Brown coming out with fury.My heart raced as I used whatever I saw in the car truck to cover myself. Then I saw the lady trying to close the truck with her two hands. Luckily, she didn't see me. Then, I felt the car moving slowly.I heaved a sigh of relief as the car moved for a very long time until it finally stopped.My whole body was full of sweat. I almost died there, but it's better to die there than be married to that monster!I heard the truck open. The driver had opened it from where he sat. So, before he could get up and come take whatever he kept in here.I got up and opened it slo
Where the fuck did he run off to?I parted my mouth, but words couldn't come out. I excused myself and gently walked over to check if I could see the little boy outside or something.Who is he? Isn't he peeing anymore? And why…?I stood, trying to process the whole thing. I shifted my gaze to the box in my hands. Then I raised my head up at the entrance to see about three women walking in.By the look of it, the plane was filled and we should be taking off any moment from now. "What the fuck is this box about?" I said more to myself as I slowly unwrapped it to see the content in it.I saw just two things: a small cell phone and a white envelope. Seriously?Who the heck was that kid?Just as I was about to go over to sit with Reggie, I heard the phone ringing.It rang so loudly that it stopped me in my tracks.Feeling embarrassed by the looks I was getting, I quickly took the phone out to stop it from ringing.Ugh!Without thinking, I answered."Hey, kid… where did you run off to?"
"Whose…?" He paused and narrowed his eyes. "Is that yours?" He asked.I tried to talk but then, I hesitated…I'm pretty sure he has seen my phone countless times. He is smart, and he's going to detect if I'm lying.I cleared my throat."No…" I swallowed.He raised his eyebrow as the phone didn't stop ringing and I couldn't bring myself to answer it in front of him. "You know what? Why do you go back to Christa? I'd just–" He looked at the box weirdly as I tried to hide it behind me. "–Give the kid whatever this is." He said softly, reaching out to collect it. Without thinking, I yelled. "No!" Before I could realize my actions, the people's eyes were fixed on me.Damit!I raised my head to meet Reggie's shocked face.In his mind; Why is she acting strange?"Uh… I'm sorry…" I said faintly, avoiding his gaze. Luckily, the phone stopped ringing and I let out a sigh of relief. "Honey? Are you okay?" He placed his two hands on my shoulder. It was as if his suspicion grew stronger, but he
