A date?
"Hi, Lynn! How are you?" I greeted the petite old lady who opened the door. She worked as a caretaker at Marie's house.
Yesterday, I decided to talk to Jenna face to face, taking my time. So that if she was hiding something or was in any kind of trouble, she could tell me. Because the way she got tensed after getting that message from that anonymous person, it has me worried. She was clearly scared. And not to forget she trespassed into Dad's office for some unknown reason.
So I left home early to meet her before going to the office.
"I'm fine, dear. Come in! Let me call Ms. McCommer." She threw me a kind smile, ushering me in.
"Who is it, Lynn?" Marie appeared in the hall, while tying her robe. Then her gaze fell on me. "Sofia? You're here at this time? Is everything alright?"
"Hey!" I gave her a tight hug. Her familiar sweet scent engulfed me. "Why? Can't I come and see m

He wanted to go on a date with me? I stared at him with wide eyes. "Be ready tomorrow morning, ten sharp." "I didn't agree yet!" A smirk tugged up at the corner of his mouth. "You don't have a choice, Love. Remember, you're here for your friend?" This time I scowled in the open. "This is blackmailing!" Letting out a chuckle, he wrapped his arms around my waist. "You know, you look adorable when you're mad?" He pecked my nose, sending butterflies to my tummy. And like that, I melted into a puddle in his warmth. I should have been mad at him for forcing me into a date, but I wasn't. I should have pushed him away, but instead, I leaned into his arms. He did this to me. No matter how much I wanted to resist, one single touch of him became my undoing. &

But before the rein was completely lost from my fists, a hand snaked around my waist and pulled me up. Gasping when I opened my eyes, I found myself in a pair of strong arms with my back against his chest. His hand was tightly wrapped around my waist from behind as he pulled at Silas' rein, halting him.I let out a sigh of relief. My heart still thumped down my ribcage."Are you alright?"I turned my head to look at him. His breathing was just as heavy as mine, blue eyes were alert.I nodded, unable to say something. God, it was scary!"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have forced you to ride," he apologized, concern laced in his voice.I shook my head. "It's not your fault. I'm sorry. I didn't listen to you. I just got a little carried away." A blush spread hot on my cheeks from embarrassment.He nodded in understanding. Bu

The car was going down in the deep, fast.We needed to be quick.Grabbing her hand, I pushed at the airbag for her to move her body before tugging her out. With the little street light that illuminated the dark water, I found her panicked wide green eyes as she wrapped her arms around my neck; her chestnut hair moving along with her.I ducked low as bullets started to shed through the water.Fuck!Clutching her closer against my chest, I guided us deeper down the water to avoid the coming bullets as much

The next morning, the moment we were finished with our breakfast, Sam appeared at the door, ready to take Sofia back. Which I didn't appreciate at all. I wanted her to stay with me for the day, or not to leave at all. But she insisted on going back home because she didn't want her family to be worried for her.But what actually surprised me was the man who followed not a minute later in my penthouse. The man I followed that night from the hospital. And I very well knew who he was.Sofia's other brother. The similarities of their features said everything.A gasp slipped through Sofia's lips, shocked at her brother's sudden apprearance. "Max?"Approaching her, he gave her a side hug. "You alright?" His deep brown orbs held concern, but an edge stayed in his voice."Yeah, I'm fine." Casting me a look, she cleared her throat. "Uh, Adrian. This is my…" She trailed o
The Game Of Chase Taming the beast
I flinched as he hurled a chair against the floor to ceiling glass window. His laptop was split into two parts right beside where now the chair landed after a harsh collision against the window. Pieces of his phone, lamp and files were scattered across the marble floor. He was on a rampage, destroying everything that came into his sight. With worry laced in my mind along with a slight fear, I peeked through the door of his cabin that was left ajar as he destroyed his office. His face was red in rage, shoulders rigid, hands shaking to destroy. The veins of his neck stood out as he threw his desk across the cabin, breaking the glass that covered its surface in millions of pieces. A gasp slipped through my lips. Why was he behaving like this? What happened all of a sudden that made him react in such a vicious way? Liam and John stood at the fur

A whole week passed and Adrian's mood was still the same. No, he didn't go on a rampage again, but he went in a shut down mode.He would come to the office earlier than usual, and go home at midnight, sometimes wouldn't even leave the office at all. He barked at everyone who crossed his way, some even lost their jobs without any fault. He didn't even talk to me in the same way he used to.Now that Sasha wasn't here, automatically her share of work came on my shoulders. So I stayed busy most of the time. But still, I missed him.Though he made me sit with him during lunch to eat with him, it wasn't enough. He just ate with me, without saying a word. And if I asked anything, he would stay quiet or answer me with one or two words.It was getting on my nerves now. I knew he was stressed about something but that didn't mean he would just ignore me, or behave like a prick with others.
The Game Of Chase Hatred
Emma's arms were wrapped around him in a firm grip, there wasn't even a slight space between them. Though Adrian didn't return the hug, standing there with indifference, that didn't stop the churn in my stomach and the tightness in my chest.Noticing me at the doorstep, she jerked away from him. Crimson colored her cheeks, her eyes went wide. But not even a muscle of Adrian's features moved, as stoic as ever. Though those electric blue pools pierced me with an anonymous emotion lurking around them."H-hey!" Emma's meek voice snatched my attention. Shifting on her legs, she cleared her throat. "Uh, I will take my leave now. See you later."Wiping her cheeks, while passing me, she stopped for a moment.She was crying?"It isn't what you're thinking it is. It was just an innocent hug. I- I just needed some comfort. Please don't misunderstand me," she explained.

Later in the day, I went to meet Emma in her cubicle.I wanted to apologize for my cold behavior earlier. And being a sweetheart she was, she shrugged it off."You don't need to apologise, Sofia. I can understand. I would've reacted the same way if I found another girl in my man's arms out of the blue," she said, smiling in understanding.I didn't comment on the fact that she addressed him as my man.Because he was.Squeezing her hand, I lowered down my voice to a whisper to avoid giving any new topic of discussion to some interested ears around us. "Thank you. And why didn't you tell me about your ex? I found out about it later from Adrian."The topic dimmed the light in her eyes, getting a sigh out of her. "I just got to know myself this morning when the police called to inform me about his escape. I didn't know what to do or whom to want help f
