31: ISAAC JENKINS
It was the second half of the game. The Bulldogs and the Crimsons gave us an exceptional show. Both scores stood at 39. I could detect the animosity and rage that poisoned the atmosphere. It bled from the athletes on the retrieve. My eyes were always glued on number 69, I almost had a heart attack twice when I saw him being tackled by a few dirty, sweaty bodies. Their helmets and pads smashed against each other thunderously, granting me the notion that the Gods were angry. With merely a couple of seconds left on the time, there was only room for one more play. Ace had the ball, the clock read 14 seconds. The crowd was nail-bitingly silent. Beads of nervous sweat pebbled my forehead. The tension was so dense, you could cut it with a knife. I observed in apprehension as Ace dodged and flipped past the enemy. I felt and tasted the adrenaline that was gushing from the pitch and the onlookers around the stadium. I heard the coaches yelling.“Defence!”“Tackle him!”My mind went into slow

32: I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND
“Thanks for the ride, Profess—”“No, no, no — please, it's Isaac.”“OK, Isaac, thank you.” Pebbles cleared her throat. She felt ackward that he wanted her to address him by his first name. Being that he was a professor and all. “You're welcome. See you around, Pebbles.” He lingered until Pebbles was safely inside the house. His tires screeched against the gravel road as he drove off. Evie was the first person to call to see if she was OK. She cursed like a sailor when Pebbles informed her about what had transpired. Evie promised Pebbles that as soon as she was back in America, her foot would wear Ace's ass, then she would break Jenna's nose. It took Pebbles half an hour to diffuse her, but then she demanded to know about the sexy professor from the message. She declared he was eye candy. Pebbles quickly wished her a good night and then terminated the call. She did not know how to explain Isaac yet. He seemed sincere, and he was a gentleman, but she thought his expectations went deep

33: NIGHTMARE
They say nightmares are fragmented re-enactments of people or events your brain reserves from when you're awake; it twists and alters an already frightening memory into something far more perverse and disturbing. That was happening to our Pebbles. Her nightmares had returned—but they weren't gone for long. She finally felt at peace; safe when she entered the lives of the Dicksons. She thought she left her past; her old life behind along with the people who created all her pain and troubles, only to have a small insignificant piece of her story in which she preferred to forget, appearing at her front door in the essence of Jenna. She asked herself, how did Ace know Jenna and did he know who she was to her? The many outcomes of events that could occur if Jenna had seen her tormented her from the depths of her subconscious. Sinister came for her—she looked on in horror as he slashed open Bradley's throat. Ace battled to protect her, but he was no match for the power of the devil. He du

34: LET ME MAKE YOU FORGET
PEBBLES' POVI curled up in my bed, relishing the fact that Ace was so perfect. I felt he genuinely cared for me, and I was so relieved that Jenna was just a mistake that he now regretted. What a catastrophe that would have been if she had seen me yesterday?My body was well-rested even though I only slept for 6 hours. I had been up for half an hour, grinning up at the ceiling, lost in my thoughts of Ace. I rose from the bed and went straight to the shower. I wanted — no; I needed to see my boyfriend. ************“You ever considered doing this for a living?” I greeted Ace with a kiss on the cheek, and he chuckled. Man, that man could cook.“Good morning, Dollface. I assume you'd still be sleeping — I was planning on surprising you with breakfast in bed.”“This past weekend had been full of surprises that pretty much can last me a lifetime. I think I'm good for now,” I giggled.“Help yourself. I made you a plate — just let me finish up here.” His back muscles flexed as he flipped th

35: SECRETS AND LIES
Two hours thereafter and Pebbles still felt the remnants of Ace's touch. His smell still lingered in her nostrils, causing her to feel a sense of euphoric hopelessness. She almost didn't want to shower; afraid of washing his scent away.She reminisced about the feeling of his lips kissing down there, rocking her body into submission, and opening doors she never knew she had. Her mouth let out an involuntary moan in ecstasy as she imagined what it would feel like when he was inside her. A blush tinted her body as she stepped into the shower. Pebbles did things with the showerhead that Evie once told her about. After her much-needed shower, she headed downstairs, only to meet Bradley walking through the door. “Bradley, you're home,” Pebbles squealed. He dropped his bag at the door and gave her a bear hug. His fatherly scent comforted her in ways she'd always yearned for. “Did you have a pleasant weekend?” He asked, running his thumb over Pebbles' cheek and giving it a childlike pinch.

36: ACE'S BIRTHDAY
APRIL 1ST, 2009ACE'S POVLike air-raid sirens, her screams pierced the early hours of dawn, resounding through the terraced house, jarring my tired body to awareness. My every thought was in high-definition as my ears registered her intermittent wails. In silent consternation; with skyrocketing heart rate and dilated pupils, I galloped towards the room across the hallway from mine.There, in the shadows, lay Pebbles thrashing through another one of her nightmares. The sweat, the screams, her furrowed brows. You would have expected that after 42 nights, I would be accustomed to seeing her like this, but still, my soul could not tolerate the pain.“No — please, don't take him from me — don't take my Ace from me." My heart stung as soon as my name tumbled from her lips.I switched the bedside lamp on, “Pebbles, wake up,” I tenderly caressed her face. It took little to pull her from her nightmares anymore. Her eyes instantly shot open, releasing the tears that had gathered behind her clos

37: THE DICKSONS
PEBBLES' POVThe past couple of days had been chaos. Bradley had two therapists come by the house since I demanded a meeting with them. I wanted to see if I'd be comfortable enough to lay on a couch in their office, spilling all my secrets and fears. The first one was a Mr. Spencer. He was a regular-looking man around Bradley's age; he spoke friendly, and he even had the nice guy-next-door smile, but the moment he shook my hand, I noticed it in his eyes. That thing that men like Sinister and Harrison possess, that twisted desire and greed that if they did not get what they crave, they would snap and take it by any measures necessary. Bradley saw my discomfort, and he immediately bid Mr. Spencer farewell.Mr. Cromwell was a unique case, and believe me, I say case because that's what he was. His beady eyes and sweat-stained armpits painted a picture of an addict of some sort. At least that's what Bradley said after he left. The first thing Mr. Cromwell mentioned was medications to help

38: DRAG ME TO HELL
PEBBLES' POV“Did you at least return the favour?” Evie was dying to know if I went down on Ace.“No, I wanted to, but his grandpa is always around,” I grumbled against the phone.“Hey, do you want to watch a movie?” Ace inquired, startling me. I didn't notice when he walked up. He was leaning against my door frame with his feet crossed at his ankles.“Sure, give me a minute. I've got Evie on the phone.”“OK, tell her I said hello," he chuckled.“She says hi back,” I told him. He gave me a wink, and then he sauntered to his room across the hall. My panties were soaked just by him winking at me. I wondered if he knew how much of an effect he had on my body. Everything about him turned me on. His sweaty body, his tattoos, the way he chewed his food, damn even the way he rubbed his nose and lips using the side of his thumb. I did not know how much longer I could live like this—the temptation was strong, all 6ft 3 inches of it. “I'll talk to you later, Evie.”“Wait, if he is as big as you

39: OLD FLAMES
He caressed the surface of her right thigh, gently running butterfly kisses along her nape as he slammed into her from behind. It wasn't the first time he had fucked her, and it wouldn't be the last. He recalled how horny and wild she was in her prime, but as he moved his shaft in a circular motion, her 65-year-old cunt squeezed his manhood hungrily. He remembered how in love they'd been as youngsters, but her father made certain the love never blossomed. He arranged for her to wed another man; a man he had only seen in magazines until he rescued him from the thug who almost killed him a couple of months ago. It destroyed his heart when she left him 44 years ago. To his surprise, after the incident at the restaurant, her face was the first and only one he saw when he woke in the hospital the next morning. Apparently, seeing him bruised and beaten reignited the flame which they thought was burnt out a long time ago. They started an illicit affair a couple of weeks later. When he firs

40: CRAZY LADY
PEBBLES' POV“Are you nervous?” Bradley inquired as he manoeuvred around vehicles on the roadway.I fired three therapists in the preceding two weeks. They had the credentials, the experiences, and the certificates of merits, but my gut kept telling me they weren't suitable for me. Bradley was so considerate and supportive. I adored him so much. Ace won the jackpot by having the best dad in the world — and grandpa, Thomas, was still there with us. He was quite the comedian. Occasionally I caught him staring at nothing in particular; it almost was like he zoned out, and I recognized a vast amount of trouble and sadness in his eyes. But as soon as he was yanked back to reality, he was his crazy fun self again. Bradley and Ace didn't seem to detect his pain, even Ace mentioned to me that his grandpa had never been that frivolous and outspoken. Bradley explained it was extremely refreshing to see his dad so free.But my woman's intuition told me that
