Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Like Old Times
Linda’s POVChris’s words hung in the air, heavy with the weight of truth. I knew all too well the power and influence his family wielded, and I could not deny the fear they instilled in me.Still, he could have told me the truth. But I understood, considering my connection with Fallon, he was just being careful. “I understand,” I said softly, though a part of me wished I didn’t have to. “But still does not excuse what they have done. Your father is literally capable of murder, has that not dawn on you?” A weird feeling stirred in me once I said that. Was I not capable of murder too? I had killed two men already, and even though I told myself that I had no choice or my family would have been harmed, that still did not change the fact that I had done what I did. So I kind of felt like a hypocrite talking about Chris’s father in that light. “I know,” He sighed, the weariness evident in his voice. “And I promise you, I will do everything I can do to protect you from them. You are my
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Champagne Paired With Victory
Linda’s POVSeeing Fallon’s car outside immediately sent a jolt of emotion through me that I could not decipher. What could she want now? Had something gone wrong? Or was she here to provide an update on our plan to take down Chris’s family? Despite my hesitation, curiosity got the better of me. I needed to know why she was here. With a deep breath, I made my way to the door, each step a reminder of the pain still lingering in my body. Opening the door, I was met with Fallon’s determined expression. She wasted no time with pleasantries, her gaze sharp and focused. “Linda, we need to talk,” She said, her voice low but urgent. I nodded, stepping aside to let her in. As she entered, I could not help but feel a sense of unease. What she had to say, it could not be good, could it?Leading her to the living room, I gestured for her to take a seat. Once we were both settled, I waited for her to speak, my heart pounding in anticipation. “I have some news,” She began, her face serious as
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Cardio
Chris’s POVI had ended the call with Linda and things were way better now. I liked how we were now, it made me feel really good. With her reassurance still echoing in my mind, I felt a weight lift off my shoulders. Despite the challenges we faced, knowing that she was safe and we were in this together brought me a sense of peace. After a few hours, I decided to go for a jog. I was not a big fan of cardio and that was Linda’s type of thing but I decided to try it out. I wanted to practice now so that when I went back to China, I would surprise her with a jog. She had been begging me for the longest so we could go on runs and jogs together, but I would turn her down every time because that was something that I was just not into. But as I said, I wanted to surprise her. We were getting back on the right track and it made me feel wonderful. But I could not ignore that I still had demons to fight, I still had things to deal with. One of them was that I had an unborn child with a perso
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity You're Under Arrest
Chris’s POVAs I made my way inside the house, the image of the circling helicopter lingered in my mind, a nagging sense of unease tugging at the edges of my consciousness. I could even still hear it as it was coming back around once more. My father’s casual dismissal did little to alleviate my growing concern. Heading upstairs to shower and change, I still could not shake the feeling that there was more to the helicopter’s presence than mere curiosity from the media. It seemed too persistent, too focused to simply be a passing interest in our family affairs. As the warm water cascaded over me, I allowed myself a moment of respite, letting the rhythmic patter of the shower drown out the noise of the outside world. But even in the solitude of the bathroom, my thoughts continued to churn, swirling with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension. Drying off and dressing in fresh clothes, I resolved to keep an eye on the situation. Whatever the helicopter’s intentions, I could not afford
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Sh*t Goes Down
Chris’s POVFallon’s words were cold and cast a huge shadow over our once peaceful home. As the realization of the accusations settled in, a tense silence rested upon the compound, broken only by the distant wail of the police sirens.Hunter scoffed. “And what about him?” He nodded my way. “Chris is a Kingston, he’s one of us. If we are guilty, then that means that he is too!” Fallon turned her attention towards me, our eyes locking. My heart raced and adrenaline surged through me. I could literally feel the anxiety eating me up. “He’s innocent,” She replied, causing Hunter to laugh rudely. “The f*ck he is! Arrest him too!!” He was raging, but two policemen held him and started to take him towards the front gate. “This is unfair, arrest him too!!” His voice echoed as he was taken out of the compound, leaving me standing there with nervousness clawing at my heart. I was shaking but I tried my best to hide the fact. “Chris, call our lawyers,” My father said as he was taken away. “Th
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity The Police Station
Linda’s POVI know that we had agreed not to get the police involved at first, but let’s get this straight, the reason we had agreed to that was because we wanted to see who the guy was.But now that we knew, why would we do what he wanted us to do?We literally had his face captured on the CCTV, but the creepy part about it was the fact that it did not look like he was even trying to hide his face. It was like he wanted us to look for him. And that was what we were going to do, whether it was part of his plan or not. The man that was behind the desk was more than helpful, I know that he had done it because his company or maybe even his job was on the line, but he still did more than he should have done.He was the one who contacted the police and did everything that needed to be done. He sent them all that they requested, including the picture of the man.I was contemplating whether I should get Fallon involved, and then I remembered how she had made me do so much for her.I was li
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity The Interrogation Room
Chris’s POVThe detectives exchanged a look, and then the dark-skinned guy nodded. “Yes, there will be a bail hearing. But until then, your family will remain in custody.”My father’s jaw tightened, but he didn’t argue further. We all knew that challenging the detectives at this point would only make matters worse. The curly-haired detective leaned forward, her expression serious. “We’ll be in touch regarding the bail hearing. For now, we have some more questions for you both.” Although Fallon had told me that I was safe and that a deal had been made for me, I was still nervous. I wanted to get out here, what if the detectives changed their minds about the deal? And so, the interrogation continued, each question feeling like another weight pressing down on me. I answered as best as I could, trying to keep my composure despite the turmoil churning within me. I followed the script that our family lawyer had told me. He sort of knew almost all the questions that they would ask, and t
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity What's Next?
Chris’s POVMy father froze his anger momentarily halted by the force of my outburst. His eyes narrowed, still filled with accusation and disbelief. I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself. “Listen, okay? I made this deal after you guys were arrested, not before. Fallon had evidence against me, of course, she would, I’m not a saint. But she wanted to use me, she wanted me on her team,” I lied smoothly. “Hmm,” He beckoned me to continue. “She said the reason she did not have me arrested was because she wanted to show me that she had the power to leave me out of it; to have me free despite my play in all of this too. When you all were carried, that was when she offered the deal in exchange for my freedom.” “And you took it, just like that, not caring that your family was being carried to jail and framed?” He raised an eyebrow. I scoffed faintly. “Let’s face it, the family isn’t being framed, Dad.” He sighed, running his hand through his hair before replying, “Yeah, yeah, I k
