MY POUND OF FLESH Chapter Forty-Six
One minute I was gunning for his head, and now he is comfortably lying down on my bed, waiting patiently for me to finish my food, and I'm actually eager to hear what he has to say.I couldn't stop myself from stealing glances at him. He seems hot, with his veins popping out of his hands."Get it together, woman," I muttered to myself. It was these kinds of thoughts that landed me in this mess in the first place. I dropped the spoon and pushed the food back a little."You don't want to eat anymore? He asked, sat up, and pushed my hair back gently."I can't eat anymore; I'm stuffed" I replied."Here, take some water." He lifted a glass of water from the bedside table and brought it close to my mouth. I took a few gulps, lifted my head from the cup, and he set the glass down."Do you want to lie down?""No, I'm okay," I said to him while waiting for him to tell me what was going on."Do you need anything else? "I was already losing my patience, and it was as though he was avoiding the t

The girls can be mischievous sometimes. I locked the door behind me, and they kept knocking on my door. The knocking died down after a while, and I was on the bed trying to recollect the events of the day."I killed someone, I thought to myself. It was kind of unbelievable; I didn't know what I was feeling, shaken or glad I did."He would have killed me if I didn't shoot him." I tried convincing myself so I could feel a little less bad.I was preparing for bed when I decided to check up on Mace. I stepped out of the room and went to the sitting room. I peered out of the window, and his car was still packed outside. I smiled and went back to the room to get some sleep. I went in under my cover. I placed my head on the pillow but couldn't sleep. I kept turning on the bed, hoping to doze off, but sleep eluded me.I jerked off the bed when I heard the sound of footsteps. I froze and quickly went for the gun, gently opening the top drawer on my bedside table. I got out the gun and waited f

His hands caressed my bare back; it was ticklish, but I was enjoying the blissful moment with him. He buried his face in my hair, and a little while longer he got off the bed and grabbed my jacket."Come on, Amorino," he said, stretching his hands to me. I stood up from the bed, and he helped me put on the jacket. He grabbed the duvet and gently lifted me off my feet."Where are we going?" I asked, chuckling."Somewhere fun and cool," he replied. I cupped my hands around his neck, and he carried me outside to the beach. We were both covered in the duvet as we both sat down together admiring the beach. It was soothing listening to the sound of the disagreeing waters, and the weather was a little cool. I have always gone to the beach in the daytime; this is the first time I'm hanging out at the beach this late. Honestly, it was something else."Do you like it?" he asked, holding me tight to him."I love it." It was a bit chilling, but it was exciting. Mace kept looking at my face. I ign

My heart almost collapsed at the sound of gunshots. I shut the door to my room immediately, praying that it wouldn't all end tonight. I tried calling Mace a couple of times, but he wasn't picking up. I guess he's still in a meeting. I hide in the corner of my room, all shaky. A few minutes later, my doorbell rang. I thought the bodyguards stationed downstairs had all been killed and were going to come at me like they did before. I went in search of a gun in the cabinet, I was about to open the cabinet when I heard my phone ring. I thought it was Mace, and I quickly jumped out of the bathroom in search of the phone. I didn't bother checking who the caller was, and I picked up."Mace, you need to come get me.""Tilda, calm down." I heard Grace's voice from the other end."Grace?" I took the phone away from my cheeks to check who the caller was. Grace asked me to come downstairs because someone was asking for me.I was scared out of my mind. For a second, I thought they had finally got t

I quickly turned on the ignition of the car and was rushing over to her place when my phone rang.It was one of the guards stationed at Amorino's apartment. He reported the incident that occurred this evening to me."Fools," I blurted out immediately. I dropped the call. How could they be so incompetent that they can't catch the lunatic firing at them?
