Chapter: CHAPTER 16The ride home was quiet and the only sound that could be heard was from the roaring of my car. I had been so distracted by memories from the past lately, that by the end of the day my mind and body was tired. It did not take long to get home since it was pretty late in the night and most people had already retired to the comfort of their homes. I tried convincing Sean to spend the night at my place but just like any other time I had asked, he declined my offer. He always said he had to get home to someone and only a few of us knew who that person was.Sean had been engaged to Clara back in our college days and when we got to our junior year, they got married. I had met Sean and a few of my friends and his in a class we had together. Our circle became so close that even after graduating we still kept in touch. Every one of our friends had told Sean that it was crazy for him to get married so young. Some of them even tried to convince him to at least wait until we graduated and

Chapter: CHAPTER 15“Mr. Anderson…..Josh uhm hello? Dude what has got you in so much deep thoughts?” I heard my driver and personal bodyguard Sean ask. I looked down at my watch and realized just how late it was. I had been thinking about the past for more than an hour. I didn’t even remember when my personal assistant left. All I remember was her telling me that she was done for the day. I realized that since I had met Kira recently, all I could think about was her. I could not seem to get her out of my mind which was not a good thing. This was bad. This was really bad because I knew my feelings for her were growing stronger. This was not going to end well because I believed that from what had happened in the past, she would be a fool to fall in love with me. “Dude you’ve been spacing out a lot nowadays what is happening to you. What’s on your mind?” Sean asks with a worried expression on his face. I had known Sean for a while now and despite working, for me we were pretty clos

Chapter: CHAPTER 14“Melisa….where are you? Come out from whatever place you are hiding at because I am gonna find you,” I called out angrily the following morning, knocking on her front door impatiently. I was not one to entertain drama in my life but I just could not let what Melisa had done get past me. I did not care if her parents were home I just had to confront her. What she had done could have ruined my life if I had not thought of doing the tests by myself. The front door was opened by her mom with a confused yet scowling expression. Even back when we were dating, her parents did not approve of my and Melisa’s relationship. I did not take it personally since I knew what my reputation was like around town. Not to that I was proud but people always judged and made opinions about everything. I admit to dating and sleeping around with some few girls from school but most of them made up stories just to get noticed around school. “Why are you looking for my daughter, what do you want

Chapter: CHAPTER 13After playing some video games, Derek suggested that we should go out to a party before all hell broke loose. I agreed with him on that. I had to have fun before the results came out determining whether I was going to be a father or not. I lend him some of my clothes so that he would not waste time going back to his house to get changed. I told him to use one of the guest rooms to get ready. In no time we were headed to the party in my Overfinch truck.We partied and danced around with random girls until late in the night. I was wasted completely but Derek had control his drinking. I guess he knew that I needed that party since it could be my last one in a while. I gave him the keys to the truck and he drove us back to my house. He dragged me to my bedroom and laid me on the bed and I passed out in no time. I woke up the next day with a killer headache. The sun seemed brighter than usual and it made my headache even worse. I grabbed the remote on the night stand and shut the

Chapter: CHAPTER 12We entered a room with a bed and some screens which I didn’t know what they were used for. The nurse who had led us to the room told Melisa to lay on the bed and wait for the doctor to come. After a few minutes a middle aged lady walked in and introduced herself as Doctor Adrian. She told us the she was going to be Melisa’s doctor all through her pregnancy. She checked the board she was holding then looked at us. I looked at her with brows raised wondering what she was thinking. She then asked us whether we really need a paternity test done.I was about to ask her whether it was a problem when she explained that the tests should not be done in early stages of pregnancy since it could harm the baby. She also said that it was not always the case but it was a possibility. I told her to proceed with the test to which she just nodded her head. Most people would think that I did not care about the baby’s safety when making that decision but I really needed t

Chapter: CHAPTER 11I drunk myself to sleep that day and woke up later in the evening. I would tell my parents about Melisa’s pregnancy when we were sure it was mine. I looked around my room and saw all the bags I had packed for college disappointedly. I was disappointed in myself for being reckless and not being able to go to college. I would let them stay packed till we went to the doctors which would be soon. I went around the house lazily wondering what I was going to do with my life. I reached the kitchen and opened the fridge. I knew that my nanny had been here sometime in the day when I was asleep.Whenever she was here, she always cooked some food and left it for me in the fridge. She knew that I wouldn’t cook to save a life. She had been cooking for me my whole life and never allowed me in the kitchen when she was cooking. I found some chicken and some lasagna which I reheated and had for super. After I was done eating, I went to the game room which was in the basement

Duhamel headed straight to Angus’ office to complain about their crazy pilot lady. The only thing the general said was that they should have had their seat belts on as ordered. Duhamel’s only thought was that the lady was an angel straight from hell. The general looked at his team leader and smiled at how bothered he was. He shook his head thinking about how much the team needed a little bit of crazy. They were yet to know that she was their new team member.Micaela Elrod went to the general to announce that she was headed home and they had a good laugh about the boys’ complains.

Chapter: CHAPTER 5For Sergeant Duhamel, a new addition to their team meant adjusting and resetting things so that the new lieutenant would fit and he was not happy about that. He never liked surprises and this sure was a surprise. The team went ahead with the task at hand for the remainder of the day while they waited to see how tomorrow turned out. They were to solve a kidnapping case with a small child involved and the task was tiring. They had to be extra alert and careful since their lives and that of someone else was dependent on them. In this case, the person was defenseless and helpless. The task would have been easier for everyone else on the team but with Sergeant Duhamel’s bad mood and complaining, they got distracted a lot.Upon completion of the case, they headed to the small field where they were told a chopper was waiting for them. Everyone sighed in relief that the day was finally over. It was no fun working with Duhamel when he was pissed. When they got to the field, they

Chapter: CHAPTER 2She was young when all this happened but that did not mean she never knew what was going on. When the police officers arrived at the scene they called for an ambulance and tried to ask her what had happened but she seemed to be in a daze. They knew that she was in shock and the events that happened would catch up with her real soon. The dead bodies were taken away and she stayed in the same position unfazed. She then turned to the pool of blood surrounding her and then looked at her bloody clothes and hands. This seemed to be the deal breaker for her as she let out a blood curdling scream that had everyone startled. Every grown up in the room pitied her. Their hearts ached for her, to think what she had witnessed.She did not know what happened after but she woke up later in a hospital bed with wires connected to her. She then remembered what had happened and let out a scream that had nurses running in her room. She had not said a word about the incidence and the doctors were
