Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Honey, I'm Home!
Linda’s POVThe car made a sharp turn as we were headed to the airport. I was calling William on the burner phone but he did not answer. But I did not give up, I just kept calling. Finally, he answered and sounded like he was busy. “Linda? Is everything alright? I’m kind of busy right now.” I could hear gunshots in the background. “What the f*ck? Are you being shot at?” I asked him, worry filling my mind. He chuckled. “No, I’m the one doing the shooting. Is everything alright?”I was still very concerned. Who was he shooting? “I think I’m the one who should be asking these questions, William. What or who are you shooting at?”He sniffled dryly. “No one. I’m shooting at no one. I’m just practicing my aim, you know I got to stay on my aim. Especially now that we’re poking the bear.” He made a throaty sound. I released a breath that I did not know that I was holding. “I thought…I thought.” “I know,” He replied. “You’re worried about me because of what we’re doing. And I know, the no
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Talking It Out
Linda’s POVAs I kissed him, my heart did a weird thing. It was a bittersweet feeling that I could not brush away no matter how hard I tried. Yes, I liked that I was with him again I liked that I was kissing him, but the thought that he had cheated on me still lingered, torturing me. When we broke the kiss, he locked eyes with me. “I’m so glad that you’re home again. I am so sorry for what I did, Linda.” He did look sorry. “I promise you I’m going to do better,” He added. I nodded slowly, taking in his words. “Of course.” My voice was small. “We have a lot to talk about,” I said as I made my way past him. I headed upstairs and did not have to look behind because I knew that he was following. When we reached the bedroom, he walked in and closed the door when I was already in. I glanced around the room, and I could not help but smile. I missed this room, this house, and everything else. “What do you want to talk about?” Chris began, putting his hands in his pockets, nervousness plas
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Our Great Plan
Linda’s POVAfter sobbing in the arms of Chris, we spent the next few hours talking about everything. And when I say everything, I mean everything. I told him all about William, and about his plan of us working together. I told him about the Retinol shipment and why I needed the five million dollars. I told him it all. And he did the same, at least I believe that he did. Things felt better and although I was not fully healed, at least I was now further on the journey. “So you still want me to go to London?” Chris asked me as we headed downstairs. It was the next morning and we were going for a walk. I would have wanted a jog or run instead, but considering my state, I could not afford to do any of that. First of all, I was pregnant and getting farther along as each day passed. Second of all, I still literally had a bullet in my body, just hanging in there. “Yes, I know that you want to help William and me with the plan to take down your father…I mean, Mr. Kingston,” I corrected m
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity A Surprising Meeting
Chris’s POVIn the Aston Martin, the wind blew in my hair as I drove through the beautiful streets of the city. The weather was so good today, and I think it had an effect on my mental health–I felt so much serenity and contentment. Maybe that was because I finally had my wife back. I did not know what I did to deserve her forgiveness or what god had touched her heart to come back to me, but I was more than grateful.I had so many plans for us. After we were done with this war against the Kingston, I planned to take her to somewhere different; to another country where we would start new. Of course, this country had a lot of memories for us, but raising a child, I wanted it to be a fresh start for us. I was not going to tell her until the day she gave birth to our child. I did not care whether it was going to be a boy or a girl, I just wanted to be able to hold our precious baby in my hands soon. When I reached the office, I parked the car at my spot, turned off the engine, and got
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity I Hate Her So Much
Chris’s POVThe glass door to my office opened and I looked up, seeing my new investors walking in. Meghna was dressed in a flashy dress and her boyfriend was surprisingly wearing something that was not horrible. I remained behind my desk as I watched them walk deeper into the office, sitting across from me in the chairs arranged for guests. Meghan flashed a bright smile, but there was somehting about it that felt insincere, calculated. Her boyfriend, on the other hand, maintained a more neutral expression, his demeanor giving away little about his thoughts or intentions. “Good morning, Chris,” Meghan greeted, her voice tinged with an air of confidence. “It’s lovely to see you again.” I wish I could say the same but I would be lying if I did. I nodded politely in response. “Good morning, Meghan, and to you too,” I acknowledged, inclining my head towards her boyfriend.They both returned the greeting before she wasted no time diving into why she was there. “Chris, Jacob, and I have
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Indecision
Chris’s POV“I will think about it,” I said in finality as I stood to my feet, walking from behind my desk and heading to the closed glass door, opening it up and holding it open. “But for now, I have a lot of work to do, this meeting is over.” Meghan and her boyfriend glanced at each other before they stood to their feet and walked out of my office. I can not tell you how relaxed I got when they were out, I had been tensed the whole time. I walked back to my seat and sat down. What was I going to do? Linda and I had agreed not to keep any secrets, no matter how dark it may be. And I did not want to go against our agreement, so of course, I would have to tell her. I ran my hand through my hair in frustration, the stress weighing heavily on me. I had a lot on my plate and all I wanted to do was get all the things I had to do for the day, that way, I’d maybe be able to relax. You see, the thing about me was that once I had things to do, and did not do them; if I tried to relax, that
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity The Truth Will F*ck You Up
Chris’s POVI was sitting on the bed in the room and had not changed out of my work clothes yet. My heart was pounding and my mouth was dry. Was this the right time to tell Linda about what Meghan had suggested?The room was quiet, the only sound echoing was the ticking of the clock on the wall. It was as if it was daring me, daring me to do the right thing; it was as if it was on the edge of its seat, ready to call me a coward if I chickened out. With Fallon downstairs, I think it was the safest time to do this. You see, because if I told Linda the truth and things went south, I would have someone there with me who would try to help. So, you know what? This was the perfect time…or not. There was no perfect time and I just had to take this situation by its horns. I stood up from the bed and changed into something more casual. Then I stood in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection. I ran my hand through my hair and made it a bit messy. I did not have plans of going out again
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Not A Fragile Woman
Linda’s POVI was trying my best to process Chris’s words but they just seemed surreal. Was he being serious? No, I did not think so. Maybe this was just a prank to see if I had healed; but that was the thing, I was not healed, not yet. “Linda, it’s fine, she does not have to stay here,” He said as he kept his eyes on me. I tried all that I could to avoid looking into his eyes, I knew that if I was going to do that, the tears that I was fighting so much to hold would just escape. “Nonsense,” I chuckled the word out, but it was forced even though I tried my best to make it sound as natural as possible. Fallon looked up from her book, her eyes filled with empathy. I could tell that she did not want to involve herself, and that was why she kept burying her head deeply in her book. But she was, whether she liked it or not. I wanted to hear what she had to say, I wanted to know how she felt about it all. She scoffed faintly and locked eyes with me. “Are you sure this is what you want?
