Deep breaths. Deep breaths. I was trying my hardest to keep calm, but this guard was making it so hard. I did not know if I would be able to keep my cool for much longer. But I was going to try. “What do you mean by that? What do you mean by you can’t let me leave?” I held my hips, waiting for a response, and although I could not see my own face, I knew that a nasty expression sat on it. “I am the head of the security team and Mr. Kingston gave me straight orders about not allowing you to leave the house unless you are someone from my team.” His voice was firm and he did not break eye contact with me. I clenched my fists by my sides before glancing at the watch once more. Time was running out, I needed to leave, and now. “Well, if I might remind you, I’m Mr. Kingston’s wife, I have as much power to fire you as he does.” I glared at him. I was so close to snapping at him. “Ma’am…” He scoffed faintly. “I am not letting you leave.” I cursed under my breath. I wanted to call Chris t
A few seconds of silence passed and although I wanted to speak, I was afraid to do so. So, I kept my thoughts to myself. “Are you ready for this?” The girl with the buzz cut asked, keeping her focus on the road. We were still moving rather fast than I think we should have. I don’t think anyone was chasing us. “Jojo, will you please stop talking while I work?” The girl with the laptop finally joined the conversation, her voice deeper than her friend’s. The one who I now knew as JoJo scoffed, rolling her eyes at the back of her head. She was attractive and had very pretty eyes. “My talking is not going to stop you from working, is it?” She raised an eyebrow. I’m not going to lie, she was an impressive driver. “Just shut it.” The girl went back to typing. But Jojo did not pay any heed to her friend’s warning. “So, Linda. You know you’re going to kill a CEO, but do you know how?” The girl with the laptop groaned in frustration but did not say anything. “Um…” I dragged the word bef
Walking into the room, I gasped. Yes, I was married to a billionaire and was used to fancy and fine things but the room blew my mind. It was exquisite. I could not stop looking around. And from the expressions on the faces of the others, I could tell that they were incredibly impressed. “Okay, okay, we have work to do,” Maddy was the first to speak. She sat on the bed and took her backpack from her pack, taking her laptop from in it. When she had her machine on her lap, she dashed the bag on the floor not far from her and started typing really fast in seconds. She then suddenly stopped, noticing that we were all staring at her. She cleared her throat, directing her attention to her friend. “Um, Jojo! Don’t you think now is the best time to tell Linda about her role in all of this?” She raised an eyebrow, and then without waiting for a response, went back to work. “Oh yeah!” Jojo exclaimed. She walked towards me and led me to the other bed. There were four king-sized beds in the r
Risks. Oh yeah, I almost forgot that there was a possibility that I could mess up the plan, or it could not go as planned, resulting in dying or so. I stared at the small pistol and nodded. “Sure, I understand.”Jojo smiled before winking at me. “You know, we would have armed you but we can’t. Before you enter the room of Mr. Carrington, you will be checked by the security team to ensure that you have no form of weapons.”“But how about the pin that you would give me, is it not a weapon they could detect?” I was intrigued. “It’s a special pin; very high-tech, so no, they won’t be able to detect it,” Maddie replied without lifting her attention from her laptop. She seemed to listening even though she was working on god knows what. “What she said,” The tux guy added, causing Jojo to chuckle. After an hour, I was dressed in black lingerie that showed off my body in ways that I never knew it could be shown. My breasts were lifted by it and it was when I was staring at my reflection in
Linda’s POVI was walking down the stairs of my very luxurious house in China. Alone in there so it was quiet, except for the sounds of the birds chirping and some normal day-to-day noises.Chris had gone to work at one of his companies and since we got married, although everything has not been perfect, he has been one heck of a husband.I love him so much and although sometimes my stupid mind still tortures me of what it could have been like if I had never caught my brother with my ex, I would never want to be with anybody else.How would it have been? Maybe beautiful…but also, maybe awfully like hell.I began to hum a tone when I reached down the stairs. I’m someone who likes to be alone but recently I have been home alone during the day most of the time.I don’t work anymore because Chris makes a whole lot of money and I graduated from university last month.I should be working, my parents wanted it to be like that, but oh Chris, he said that that was never going to happen.Did I
Linda's POVI stare at my husband and my heart pounds in my chest. “Wh-what are you doing here?” Chris asks, swallowing hard as if he was just caught stealing a cookie from a cookie jar.“Uh…” I dragged the word, gripping my suitcase tighter. “Passport, please…” the lady behind the desk interrupted our conversation. She was very beautiful.But she had a look of impatience painted on her face.I turned away from my husband and handed my passport to the lady while mumbling, “here.”She took it, opened it and stared at the information before looking back at me. She did it one more time and then handed it back to me before flashing a smile.Instead of holding up the line, I got out of the way and waited for Chris to present his passport. He looked jittery and tried his best not to look in my direction.Why was he acting this way? If anything, I should have been the one behaving like that. Because I was literally running away to Iowa just so I could live a quiet life for a few months.
Linda's POVA rage built up in me and I jerked my arm away from him while saying very loudly, “Do not dare touch me!!”Chris withdrew quickly. His eyes wide with shock and some fear. Everyone in the airplane cabin stared at us but I did not care. I was heaving, my heart thundering in my chest.“You don’t get to do this!” I continued, my voice cracking at the end. “You don’t…you don’t get to do this.” I started to sob.Tears freely ran down my face and a heaviness filled my heart. Why? Why, huh?Why does this always happen to me? Everytime. Every damn time that I fully give my heart away to someone, it gets trampled on the ground.Is there something wrong with me?Am I discarded goods that everyone juts don’t want? First, it was my ex who I had caught screwing my brother on my wedding day. Now, this?The plane was going faster now, increasing its speed with each passing second. That was the only reason why I did not stand up to get away from him and his concubine.“Linda…” He said m
Linda's POVMitch stared at me with a look of sympathy. “I’m so sorry,” he said in a soft tone.And I knew exactly what he was apologizing for. I think everyone in the plane knew that. Because of my finding out that my husband had been cheating on me.“It’s alright, it is what it is,” I replied, shrugging as if it didn’t feel like my heart was being torn into a thousand million pieces.“It’s okay to feel, you know? When we were together, you used to always suppress your emotions, pretending that you were superhuman, and that’s not healthy for you.” He flashed me a warm smile. I furrowed my eyebrows and scoffed lightly. I did not expect him to say that to me though.He was not someone who usually said deep things. “It’s not suppressing emotions that I do, I just don’t like dealing with very heavy emotions at certain times. I'd rather keep them for later.” I shrugged as if I just talked about something very common. Mitch was about to say something but then the flight attendant that
