Collateral Wife LORENA HAS TO DIE!
CHAPTER 58TRISHA'S POVI needed to cool my head, so I went on a trip to Hawaii. Maybe a little bit of relaxation would help me recover my sanity because lately, everything and everyone has been driving me insane.For one, that Lorena bitch was something else. I had no idea she would affect Andrew like this. I was the only woman who had gotten remotely close to Andrew's heart. He never spent more than a single night with any of the women he had been with and I knew that because I did my research. I was obsessed with him when I met him and I wanted to be sure that I was the only woman in his life. Sure enough, I was. For some reason, he stopped fooling around and started to focus on his father's company. But that made him more attractive; a good looking man who's also a boss.He was cold with me when we first met too, never wanting to cross any boundaries and keeping it professional. But that wasn't what I wanted. He was really stubborn but I was lucky enough to catch him during his we
Collateral Wife FATE AND FORTUNE
CHAPTER 59LORENA'S POVI parked my car hurriedly at the only parking space left which further told me how late I was, and for the first time since my mother bought me this car, I was grateful I had it. Life was going great, it was perfect. My moms were already friends when they met so their friendship blossomed even more as they both became my parents. I was still yet to decide how best to address the both of them. The Grand Hall was doing great too, especially Mom's pastry shop and it had only been a week.When Ariana bought me this car, I thought it was too much. She had already done enough and I was content, I didn't expect anything more. But she wanted to make up for the times she had missed out on so I had to accept it. She was right too, I would need it for School. It would be better than taking a taxi everyday.Andrew and I were doing great together too. In fact, he's the reason I'm so late today and I never was. He kept me up all night making love to me and honestly, I had no
Collateral Wife THERE'S TWO OF ME
CHAPTER 60ZOILA'S POVI don't get nervous usually and I don't get scared either. After surviving a serial killer at sixteen, I hardly ever got scared again, of course after going through therapy and some time alone to sort out my feelings. I had toughened up and became a cop so that scumbags like that serial killer wouldn't frighten young girls anymore and so they could live freely and bravely.So this feeling of dread I felt now was strange to me. I had located The Grand Hall and had been standing outside, where I couldn't be seen and all I did was stand there and stare. I suddenly got cold feet and found it difficult to breathe. I went back into my car and sat there, shaking like a leaf and mulling over the various scenarios that could play out if I knocked on that door.What was I supposed to say? "Hi miss Laura, I got your number and address from your former co- worker. I think you might know where my mother is, her name is Ariana Shepherd." Now wouldn't that just be the weirdes
Collateral Wife REUNION
CHAPTER 61LORENA'S POVThe restaurant was filled with people, families chattering away and catching up on their day, lovers meeting after work and friends hanging out. It was pretty lively inside but for me, time froze. I heard nothing, only saw their lips move and it was the same for the other woman sitting across from me. The only words we had said so far was ordering burger and french fries.How was it possible that my sister who drowned at the shipwreck was still alive and sitting in front of me? But then again, this past month has been really life changing for me and people I never knew existed suddenly became a part of my life. And now my sister was coming back from the dead."Thank you for saving my life back there." I said after a long silence "It's fine, it's my job." She replied. "You must be shaken up. Are you alright?""I'm okay. I've had quite the roller coaster experience this past month." I replied. "This isn't the first time someone is trying to kill me. Did I mention
Collateral Wife BAD DECISIONS
CHAPTER 62LIAM'S POVMaybe the club incident was a wrong move. Okay, I admit it, it was. Because now I'm on lockdown and my father is really determined to disown me this time. I guess I'd pushed him to the limits.It wasn't my fault though that I turned out this way. When I needed both my parents, they were too busy working and fighting with each other and never cared about me. I had both my parents but I felt like an orphan. I would have preferred being an orphan.They argued a lot and at age four, I already knew what the word 'mistress' and 'affair' meant. Because it constituted a major part of their fight. It simply meant that Dad didn't like his family and wanted to be with someone else. That was exactly what my step uncle explained to me. He said my parents didn't want to be together and they were only putting up with each other because of me. So I grew up with the guilt, that I was ruining my parent's lives and they wouldn't be together if it weren't for me. Uncle Adams told me
Collateral Wife PLEASANT SURPRISE
CHAPTER 63ZOILA'S POVThe body had already been moved to the hospital's morgue and true to what Keith said, there was nothing on the body to identify him with. The substance he had swallowed had been hidden in his necklace, a gold chain with a small locket in it. It contained a pill that had been wrapped in a small pack and folded inside the locket."Were you able to question him at all?" I asked Keith as we stood over the body on the examination table."He wouldn't say anything. He said he was only doing his job and has no grudge against the target.""So he's definitely a hitman. I'm sure he's been doing this for a living.""I guess it's some sort of code, to kill themselves before any word is gotten out of them. I mean, he had the drug with him the whole time in case he gets caught and he didn't hesitate to take it.""You're right, definitely. If he had gotten better and was taken to the station for questioning, we could have found out who sent him somehow. So now we've got nothing
Collateral Wife I'LL GET HIM ONE WAY OR ANOTHER
CHAPTER 64TRISHA'S POV.Dayna was calling me. I could see her name boldly written on my screen but somehow,I just sat there, watching the phone ring.She had been sending me pictures of Lorena for a few days as proof that they'd had their eyes on her and that they'd make their move soon. I trusted her. She had done it before and to this day, no one ever found out who did it. She was that thorough.So I couldn't explain the fear that paralyzed me when I saw her call. Maybe it was because this was the first time I'd actually ordered a hit on someone. The first one wasn't really my idea. I had already grown tense when I got nothing from her for a few days and now she was calling me.I picked up the phone and answered. "How did it go?""His tracker got turned off.""What do you mean?""My men, they have a tracker that monitors their heartbeat. Helps me check if they're still alive and where they are. His tracker got turned off and that means he's dead.""I..I don't understand." What the
Collateral Wife THE TRUTH I CAN'T HANDLE
CHAPTER 65LORENA'S POVWe sat around the table in silence. Mother had brought out some snacks which we'd enjoyed with gusto, especially Devon who still had a sweet tooth as Leonora explained. "So, you're dating my daughter." Mom asked looking at Devon."Yes ma'am.""How did you two meet?" She probed. "I want to hear everything.""Well, we practically grew up together. I've known her since she was in diapers because our parents are friends and we both are cops. We were partners too before she transferred here." He replied."What are your parents like? Did they agree for you to come find me?" She asked Leonora."Yes, they did. Umm, they didn't really mention the accident to me and the circumstances I'd been found in. I didn't know I was adopted the whole time until very recently. They are really lovely people and they took such good care of me.""I'm so glad." She replied with tears in her eyes."That's better than I had done for you Lorena." Mother said. "Your father..Marcus and I di
