CHAPTER 31ANDREW'S POVI should have done more than break his nose. That piece of shit needed a good beating. I didn't care if he was the president of the company I wanted to work with, the fact that he disrespected my woman was enough reason to be rid of him. Later, I would send Alfredo and his men to find him and educate him more on how to treat women and how not to be a jerk."What do you think you are doing Andrew?!" She yelled at me, fuming with rage. Why was she upset right now? If she should be angry, her anger should be directed at that pig of a man and not me. How could she let him do touch her like that?"What the fuck do you mean? Why did you let him do that to you? I told you Lorena, your body is mine and no one else has the right to touch you like that!" I yelled, my voice echoing through the empty parking lot I had pulled her into."Aren't you worried about what this will do to the business? This was your only shot at your being free from the Greenes. Why would you ruin

CHAPTER 32SARAH'S POVShe called me! That was progress!It meant she had believed me, even if it's just a little. The fact that she asked to see me alone was proof that she was curious enough to hear me out.When she had passed out two days ago, I had cautiously slipped my number in her pocket before she was rushed to the hospital. Of course I wasn't allowed to follow so that was the only way I could contact her, but I wasn't sure she would find it. Even if she did, I didn't think she would call me.I was excited when I picked up the phone and heard her voice on the other line. "Can we meet up?" She had asked. "I've got questions."I could hear it in her voice. Her confusion, anxiety, fear. She must have had her doubts all these years.I came down from the cab and stood in front of the restaurant she had picked out. She said she would be there waiting for me. I pushed the door open and scanned the tables, looking for a glimpse of her."Sarah?" Her familiar voice called and I spun

CHAPTER 33LORENA'S POVThis scene was all too familiar, it felt like déjá vu. Getting kidnapped was starting to be part of my everyday life and it sucked. One minute I was walking around to clear my head before heading back home and the next minute, I was being forced into a car with people who looked just as scary as Andrew's men.I didn't have it in me to scream and fight because I had already exhausted my energy fighting with Andrew so after my initial resistance , I just sat down and let them take me. If they were taking me somewhere, I would understand the reason for it later.They stopped in front of a large gate and honked. The gates slid open granting access to the Audi Q7 SUV. The smell of freshly cut grass greeted my nostrils and the chirping of birds made it seem like I'd entered a story book castle, like Cinderella or something. My jaws literally dropped when the car glided inside, revealing stone walls and marble floors.The paved driveway extended twenty feet before rea
Collateral Wife IT'S CURIOSITY, NOT LOVE
CHAPTER 34ANDREW'S POV I didn't expect this stunt from my father but then again, he was never predictable. I knew he wouldn't like the idea of another woman being near me because he had been trying to get Trisha and I be together. Even though I had told him I wasn't interested, he didn't show any signs of giving up. He always wanted to have his way, every fucking time.I had seen him control my brother's life like that and Alex was so keen on pleasing him so he became a puppet. I swore I would never be one. I loved and respected my father, but there were lines I wouldn't let him cross. This was one of them."We're leaving." I said to Lorena, pulling her along. My father's men stood in front of me, stopping me from leaving."What is it about this woman that you're not telling me? If she is merely collateral for her father's debt like you say, then there's no reason you should refuse my mercy. I said she doesn't need to pay me anymore." He repeated."This isn't about you father. You m
Collateral Wife CONFESSIONS
CHAPTER 35ARIANA'S POVI developed a phobia for water years ago. I never went near a pool, not even the one in the compound. I didn't like taking long walks on the beach either. Damian had tried to make me do that several times but I was always too scared of the water.I had no idea why. My doctor told me it could be the result of past trauma that had something to do with water but how could I develop that problem when I didn't even remember the traumatic experience that led to it? I remembered nothing about the accident in Cuba. I only heard about it from my family. I didn't remember being on a boat and I definitely didn't remember being with a baby. Somehow, my family never mentioned a child when they talked about the accident.But I had had dreams about it, vague and fleeting. I almost never remembered them when I woke up but I'd notice my cheeks stained with tears every time and my hands shaking.So when Sarah told me about a baby, I didn't think she was crazy or that she was a f
Collateral Wife STORY OF MY LIFE
CHAPTER 36JONATHAN'S POVWorking has been my coping mechanism. It was the only way I had survived and the only thing in my life that I had control over. Being the heir to three generations of wealth and a chain of companies, a lot was expected of me and I dared not rebel. It had been that way since I was little. My parents began to groom me to take over the business when I started to walk. They taught me how to talk, the people to meet, friends to keep, how to think, even how to dress, anything that would make me into someone who'd be worthy to handle the business after my father. They made sure to drum it into my skull that all eyes were on me and I obeyed. It hadn't helped that I was an only child. So I'd buried myself in my studies and made sure to accomplish impressive feats. I didn't date a lot in high school and in college because I didn't want to get distracted. I strived to make my father proud. And he was proud of me, until he wasn't.I met someone I liked when I took over t

CHAPTER 37HAVANA, CUBA.ZOILA'S POVRagged breaths, adrenaline rush, sweaty bodies and open mouthed breathless gasps.I loved these kinds of chase. I loved the thrill it gave me and the satisfaction after catching who I was after, and I always caught them. My colleagues called me the Cheetah because I'd caught more criminals on foot than others had done on moving cars and I never stopped running until I'd got them.Our footsteps echoed on the wet tarred road and splashes were made where my foot stomped. He was a few feet away from me but I was gaining on him."Keep an eye out Suarez, he's making his way through the street." I said to my partner through my walkie talkie."Be careful Martinez. He's got a weapon.""Well, so do I." I replied and increased my pace."Get away from me, you creep!" The culprit yelled, pushing trash cans and anything he could find to stall me. But this wasn't my first rodeo, I flew over them with ease and dodged whatever else he hurled at me."Stop running Ar
