After a while in his room, he decided to continue the tour. Ruby was fascinated by Nate’s collection, just like her, he loved the likes of Shakespeare and Jane Austen. She was excited to discuss their books with him when they got home. She felt they would have made such good friends in highschool because they had so much in common but fate didn’t bring them together back then. “When I was six, I had my dad and some other friends from school play hide and seek with me. It was my turn to hide while everyone else would look for me, I hid here”He pointed to an empty space between two flower vases. The space was quite small and she wondered how he was able to fit in. “They look for me for hours, I had to come out myself when I was getting hungry and tired”Ruby laughed a little, she had wished it was the same for her. She loved and appreciated how much her parents tried to play with her but it wasn’t the same as having a friend her age. Before she met Esme, she had only her pare

She bit back a moan as she savored the taste of the chicken burger. After crying herself to sleep at night, she had woken up with a headache and a rumbling tummy. Nate had come back home late and she was sleeping already. “Girl, you need to slow down. You eat like you haven’t eaten in days”Ruby ignored Cassie and went on. She had hit Cassie up and asked if she had any free time. She figured if she spent time with her friends, she wouldn't be consumed with guilt. “I didn’t have dinner last night and I’m so hungry” Ruby relied with her mouthfulShe had missed how good the food was at the restaurant down the street. Sometimes, she asked herself if resigning was really the right choice. She was itching to get work done and be in her office once more. She wasn’t bored at the office and she always had company. Cassie as usual looked magnificent. Even when things were falling apart or there was a war, Cassie would never be caught without her signature red lip gloss and perfec

Nate, Katie and other crew members watched as Bentley parked at an unfamiliar street. “Pull up the location immediately” Katie ordered one of the men dressed in black. Throughout the ride with Bentley, all Bentley had talked about was how to launder money and make other people suffer. Everything was recorded into the flash drive. He had also mentioned the names of some of the people he had stolen from.Katie had instructed the driver to drive the van ten minutes away from Bentley’s car to avoid suspicions. “It’s on Cornell road” the man answered Katie sighed, she wasn’t familiar with Cornell road. “Park the car on Canyon road, it’s eight minutes away from Cornell road” Katie instructed the driver “Ensure you wash and filter the videos and audios to be as clear as possible. This is very important” she instructed another man who typed away on a computer Nate watched as everything happened so quickly. The minivan was too small to contain all of them but somehow they’d fit th

Hunter pulled the microphone and cameras off his body immediately he entered the minivan. He could now breathe properly. “You didn’t do bad out there” Katie commended him. “I think I want to hire you, your acting skills are wonderful” “I thought I was going to pee my pants” Hunter laughedAfter he had convinced Wyatt to release Jake, Bentley had spent a good twenty minutes devising some sort of stupid plan to get more money. Wyatt stated he was thinking of going into politics after everything was over. “Your mother and sisters are going to be on the next flight to America” Nate told himHe had been quiet all these while, he thought of all the things he could do to pay Wyatt in his own coin. It was appalling that Wyatt was trying to bring down the dead. It had been eighteen years since his father’s death and Wyatt still had an unhealthy competition and obsession with him. “Thank you so much”Hunter fell to knees, tears in his eyes. “I promise I would do anything I can to h

“Are you alright?” Katie asked as she pulled her hair into a ponytail. The woman had had a long day of tailing Bentley and collecting evidence against Wyatt.She noticed Nate had barely said a word for the past thirty minutes and he hadn’t touched the fast food that was ordered. She sighed and she moved closer to him.“If something is bothering you, you can talk to me. I know you’ve had a very long day but the fact that we’ve been able to collect concrete against him should put a smile on your face” The van had emptied out as most of the workers had returned home. “I received a text from Wyatt” he replied quietly He had struggled to find a way to channel the anger he felt. He couldn’t go around punching things, especially since the day he saw how Ruby was scared because of him. “What did the text say?” He passed the phone to her. Wyatt was asking too much of him.He asked that Nate meet with him at a hidden corner of the park. The park held too much memories for Na
