MICAH"Where is she?"I demanded the moment I set foot into the penthouse, my unwavering gaze fixated on the muscular guard that stood against the wall, his arms crossed behind him, staring down at his feet."In her room, boss." He answered. I scoffed, sparing him a wary glance before I sauntered to the staircase, racing up the staircase. I took to the lobby, heading straight for her room. My hands came up to my tie, yanking it off. My blazer went off next. I undid my cuffs and popped a few buttons open, stopping right in front of the door that led to her room. I whipped out the keys in my pocket, inserting them in the keyhole and I twisted the door handle, pushing the door open. I stepped into the dim room, ensuring my senses were enhanced, and then proceeded to find the switch. My eyes darted around the grey-themed room, anchoring on her frame that was cuffed to the bed. My lips twitched in a sinister smirk and I prowled forward, assessing her seemingly still frame. I furrowed my

JAXONI tapped my cigarette on my ashtray, driving into the compound. I pulled over in the garage, got out of the car, picked up the paper bag beside me, alongside my phone, and then I let myself out of the car, shutting the door. My eyes surveyed the compound that was crawling with guards. I peeled my gaze off them, heading into the house. The door was held out by the guard at the post, who threw me a curt bow. I didn't spare so much as a glance in his direction before walking past him like a breeze.I knew the living room would be void of workers by now, including the kitchen, and in a way, it made me less irritated. I ambled into the kitchen and fixed myself a steaming cup of black coffee, sauntering out of the kitchen. I made my way upstairs and stopped short at the lobby, weighing my options in my head. I looked down at my blood-stained shirt and hands, subtly shaking my head at the thought of going to meet Peach like this. I knew she would be asleep by now but it still felt so d

JAXON"I am not cheap," He scoffed, giving a dismissive wave of his hands in the air. Duncan's eyes met mine from where he stood by the door, his hands folded behind me. I gave him a look, signaling him to stay his hands and he threw me a curt bow. My eyes drifted from his tall frame, reverting to the blonde-haired man that sat across from me at the conference table. His eyes twinkled with a determination that made my lips twitch in a smirk, causing me to apply pressure on the pen between my fingers as I clicked it non-stop.I was slouched on the swivel chair across from him, spinning around softly, my eyes trained on him, watching his every move like a Hawk, and then I saw it. The slight shift in his expression and the tiny sweat that broke out on his face, followed by a swift bob of his Adam's apple."I know what I am offering and I am not going to sell it for cheap. If you can't afford my price, then I'll find a buyer elsewhere." He said without mincing words, his eyes steadily on

JAXON"What the fuck do you mean by you can't find the files?" I barked into the phone, my thunderous voice dripping with fury. I tucked my hand into the pocket of my slacks, maintaining a rigid stance as I stared straight ahead, clenching the phone tightly in my grip with a deep frown resting upon my face."Sir__""I don't care how you are going to do it. If you are going to turn the whole building upside down to find the fucking file, do it because if you don't, I will be sending your head on a platter as a souvenir to your fucking family,""Understood?" I demanded, my threats earning me a round of shaky silence from him. "Ye..yes, sir." He stammered."Now, get the fuck off my phone and get to work!" I bellowed, hanging up on him. I groaned out in frustration, raking my hands through my hair. I tucked my phone in my pocket, the soft clicking of heels behind me piquing my attention.I spun around, sharply and my breath got caught in my throat at the sight of her descending the stair

JAXONI stepped out of the car and went to the other side, holding out the door. She sent me a sweet smile that had me grinning like a fool, slipping her small hands into mine. She couldn't conceal her shock when we heard the clicking of cameras, the bright lights flashing in our faces. Her expression faltered, fear crossing her face and gnawing at my heart. I slowly slipped my arm around her waist, pulling her to my side."Arden…" Her voice trailed off, anxiously. I turned to her, bending to her level and taking her lips in a soft, assuring kiss. She stiffened but slowly eased into it, a soft sound eluding her. I pulled away shortly after, breathing softly."Do you trust me?" I asked her."With everything," She answered and I knew she meant it with the sincerity that swirled around those pools of honey-brown orbs and something about those words warmed my heart."I have got you," I assured her, my eyes steadily on her. She stared at me for a moment and nodded afterwards, leaning into

ASHLEY"Arden!!!""Fuck!""Arden, look at me!""Baby, look at me!"Those words kept playing over and over in my head, shattering me.You know that feeling when you have just stumbled upon a new song and you love it, then you slowly become obsessed with it, replaying it on repeat for the longest because you can't get enough of it? Yeah, imagine it the other way around because that was exactly how I felt, except this wasn't my favorite music. This was my worst nightmare replaying over and over again in my head, scarring me, tormenting and stripping me of my sanity.And no matter how hard I tried to shut it out, it came back stronger, resurfacing and shoving the harsh, bitter truth in my face. The guilt that consumed me and ate me up was unfathomable to me. It gnawed at me, draining every ounce of emotions I had left in me. It would have been better if it just overwhelmed me all at once and I wouldn't have to feel this way anymore but it didn't. It was slow, torturous, and unending.I wa

ASHLEYI moaned in pain, trying to pry my itchy eyes open. My head felt so heavy and fuzzy. I could barely feel it because it felt like it had already split apart. My throat was so dry and it was beginning to hurt. My lashes fluttered rapidly and I pushed myself off the bed, groaning softly. The damned monitor was still beeping and I snorted, looking to my right to see him in the same position he has always been.I brought my hand to his cheek, swiping my thumb against it slowly while stroking his hair. A small smile made its way to my lips and I leaned in, pressing a lingering kiss on his forehead. The jingling of the keys by the door caught my attention and I furrowed my brows, my hands growing lax in his hair. The door clicked and was pushed open, revealing the familiar dark hair. A frown made its way to my face, my eyes narrowing in slits."You all keep pissing me off!" I snapped, my voice sounding so hoarse like I hadn't used it in days."Well, hello to you too, Mrs Gray. I think

ASHLEYWith the satin robe that was draped over my nakedness, I could still feel the chilly breeze on my skin, which caused me to drape it around my body, even more, my eyes wandering around the surroundings that led to the hot tub. I could do some stretching of my legs and Maria aided in getting me out of my room since she has been on my case after I stepped out of my room for the first time in a week. I couldn't have thought of a better way to spend the night.I hated to admit that she was right when she told me I couldn't stay in there forever.My steps grew slower and I paused, assessing the steam that oozed off the seemingly scalding liquid. I advanced to the brick-like seat, my eyes doing a quick survey of the area and when I saw no one in sight, I shrugged the black material off my body, causing it to pool at my feet. I picked it up and threw it on the seat, stepping forward. The thought of stepping into the water made me swallow, so I took a leap and dipped my finger into the
