THIRD PERSON POVGavin was certain that for Whitney to be requesting such from him then she had done something worse than all of her previous crimes which wouldn't be surprising to him at all. She was everything bad but wanting him to make a promise to her was something that he was certain he could not do. He knew agreeing to her promise was choosing to get burnt by fire.Whitney looked at Gavin with hope, her heart racing faster than normal as she waited for him to accept and promise her. He was her last hope and she wouldn't want to miss this opportunity at all."You wanting me to make a promise to you makes it even scary don't you think? Why do you want me to make a promise if what you are giving me is so important? Are you trying to get me into trouble?" He remarked, trying to turn the tables in his favor so that he'd get her to show him what she had with her."Trouble?" She let out a small laugh."That's impossible. I wouldn't do anything that would get you into trouble and you
THIRD PERSON POV"Earlier today, the police found a body buried in the woods in a sack. Soon after, an ambulance arrived and some medical check-ups were carried out to confirm the state of the body it turned out that the person had recently been killed, and body parts were cut into pieces to make them easy to carry around and buried deep in the wood."Whitney's heart skipped, her stomach clenched and she lost focus. She suddenly became numb as she couldn't hear the rest of what the reporter was saying. The only sound she could hear was the sound of her heartbeat and her sudden change of body and facial expression didn't go unnoticed by Gavin.Whitney wondered how they found the dead body she had buried deep in the woods. “Are you alright?” Gavin asked as he trailed her eyes towards the television to listen to the reporter.“This is brutal. Who would do such a thing?” He uttered before he looked back at Whitney who was still staring intently at the screen making him wonder what could
Monique's Pov I had been anxious in the past, but the kind of anxiousness that I felt today was definitely a new feeling that I had never experienced in my life. I was so anxious to the point where I couldn't even take a seat for a full minute without getting up again and pacing back and forth. It's been almost two hours since Gavin left the house, and because of the agreement we had, I couldn't call him first unless he called me to let me know that he was no longer with Whitney. It was taking everything out of me not to pick up my phone, call him, and question where he was and if he had already left Whitney's side. When she called him earlier today while we were together, she had told him that she had something to give him, and Gavin had agreed to meet with her after firstly taking my permission. He honestly did not need to ask for my opinion first, but I was grateful that he had signaled me while he was on the phone with her and asked me if I was comfortable with him meeting
Third-person Pov "You're actually not going to believe who called me earlier today, Gavin,” Monique said as she and Gavin were seated side by side in their bedroom. She had been asleep when Gavin arrived back home, and as soon as he settled in, she immediately remembered the last conversation she had before she fell asleep. “Who did?” Gavin asked, his curiosity evident. “Whitney did,” she answered, and Gavin's face immediately contorted into a frown. “Whitney called you? Why? When? Why?” he asked, clearly not understanding why Whitney would call Monique of all people. “It happened not too long after you and I spoke over the phone. She suddenly called me instead of saying all sorts of nonsense that had nothing to do with me. She told me that she and Cole were over, and how she thinks that I'm probably going to be the happiest person to know that things didn't work out between them,” Monique explained. Even as she explained it, she was still very much irritated and annoyed by
THIRD PERSON POV“Are you certain this is the proper outfit that you want to wear to go see him?” Gavin’s sled Monique.Monique furrowed her brows in a questioning manner. “Is there anything wrong with it?” She asked inquisitively before staring at her outfit to see if anything was wrong with it.No, there was nothing wrong with her outfit at all. It was perfect and fitted her body so all that it accentuated her curves which was a problem for Gavin because he didn’t want to see her go out on a date with another man looking this good. “There’s nothing wrong with my outfit,” she remarked.“You might not see anything wrong with it but it’s all shades of wrong though. Why do you have to dress this well to go see him?” He raised his brows in a questioning manner.Monique let out a small laugh. “Oh come on, you know it’s far from it and all of this has nothing to do with him. I love to look good for myself,” she explained.“It still doesn't matter. You dressing up this way would make him t
THIRD PERSON POVMonique could feel Cole's hot gaze on her as she ate.“Do I have something on my face?” She couldn’t help but ask when she noticed that he had barely touched his food and had been staring at her. “Did you perhaps put something in my food to get to sleep or poison me?” She asked inquisitively as she suddenly stopped eating from fear that he might have put some pills in her food.“No. I wouldn’t do that,” he spoke up almost immediately.“And your response is enough reason for me to believe you did put something because why aren’t you eating? You’ve barely touched your food,” she stated. “Oh don’t mind me. Ignore me. I just can’t help but admire the beauty in front of me,” he explained but it still wasn’t enough to make her convinced.“Then have a bite. Chew something. Convince me,” she urged.Cole chuckled. “What’s funny?” She asked him, not understanding what she said that was funny for him to be laughing.“It’s you,” he replied.“Me?” She sounded confused.“Yes Mom
Third-person Pov Monique couldn't help but shudder in disgust as she remembered how Cole had just tried to kiss her. She couldn't even imagine how she would have reacted if he had successfully had his way in kissing her. She was sure she would have slapped him senselessly if he had, thereby ruining her plan to play along with him and make him think that she could ever be interested in him again. Thankfully she had managed to avoid such a disaster, but now she was worried about Gavin and how he was going to react to the fact that she was coming home much later than she assured him she would. Unfortunately, she had to turn her phone off when Gavin was calling her repeatedly because she didn't want Cole to suspect that anything was wrong. Now that she was in the car by herself, she turned her phone on again, expecting to see several missed calls and messages from Gavin. Just like she expected, there were several messages from him, and in most of the messages, he sounded worried ab
Third-person Pov “He did what?” Gavin asked, his expression shocked and furious at the same time. Monique burst into a loud laugh on seeing his reaction, finding it funny how his facial expression had completely changed. “There's no need to be so upset, Gavin. It didn't happen the way you think,” she said, trying to let him know that it wasn't as bad as it sounded. Gavin scoffed, clearly not buying it. “You just said he tried to kiss you, Monique. That idiot tried to put his lips on you, and you had to tell him you wanted to take things slow to get him to back off? What if he didn't and he tried to forcefully kiss you?” he asked, already seeing how the situation could have gone wrong. Monique rolled her eyes. “We were in public when this happened, and I was about to get into the car, Gavin. There was no way he would have tried to force himself on me while you were in public because he knows how that could go horribly wrong for him,” she responded, wondering why Gavin was being d
Third-person Pov “Con artist Jennifer Cabello has finally been caught after years of escaping the authorities. She has a record of drugging, manipulating, and stealing from men, as well as marrying them, and faking abuse in order to get divorce settlements. She was also discovered to be the murderer of her foster father, Robin Owen, as well as being involved in a drug-related business,” the newscaster went on, and Monique watched with a satisfied smile on her face. It's been a few days since Whitney was arrested, and as soon as she heard the news of her arrest, she hasn't stopped smiling. She couldn't believe that the person who almost ruined her life, as well as the lives of many other people, had finally been brought to justice, and she couldn't wait to hear what sentence Whitney was going to be given. She was currently at the rooftop of a restaurant, waiting for Gavin to arrive, and while she was waiting, she had decided to catch up on the news on her phone because she was eag
Third-person POV Whitney was nervous, but she tried not to show how nervous she was, especially since she was going to be dealing with gang members, and she couldn't afford to let them know she was a novice. She wasn't about to give them the privilege of walking all over her, so she maintained a bold look on her face, and was very much ready to meet with them, close the deal and be on her way. She had been waiting for about half an hour now, and it was already late into the night.“Why the hell are they not coming?” she wondered out loud as her impatience grew. She typically wasn't a very patient person, and because of how dangerous what she was about to do was, she needed them to get here as soon as possible so that she can get this over with. After waiting for another five minutes, she would spot a thug like man walking toward her, and immediately think to herself that it had to be one of the gang members. “Whitney?” he asked when he finally approached her, and she couldn't h
THIRD PERSON POV“Are you certain that if you see the face of the person you can tell?” The police officer asked the elderly man who claims to have seen someone visit the late Mr. Robin before he died.“Yes, I am certain. That day a lady came by the house. I was taking a stroll around that street. The street is usually quiet because nobody lives there. That cottage is the only cottage there and each time I took a stroll there, I never saw anyone so I was surprised to see a young pretty lady.” The man revealed. He continued with his statements, “I didn’t see her face at first until she turned to look around before entering the house.”“It was during the day that she entered the cottage but at midnight, I saw that lady leaving the cottage and you might be wondering what I was doing there so I will tell you,” he said to the officers before they questioned him any further.“As an old man, I take a stroll a lot of the time because of my legs. It was quite late when I was returning to my h
Whitney's Pov I was seriously running out of money, and it was making me anxious. I had spent way too long at the hotel, as well as spending a lot of money there, but after the stunt I pulled in Gavin's house, I really checked out of the hotel and came to a much cheaper one. I couldn't remember the last time I stayed in such a cheap hotel, but because I didn't have any more money to spluuch and I also needed to remain low-key for a while, I had no other choice but to forcefully enjoy my stay here. I still hadn't heard any news on what happened in the house, but I was desperately hoping that I would hear about Monique's death because that was the only thing that could make me happy. I desperately needed to hear that she was paying for mocking me and that Gavin was whiling away in his misery for daring to make a fool of me. I had a television on for that reason, and I also kept scrolling and scrolling on the internet to see if the news would come up. It had been almost a da
Third-person Pov Despite everything, Monique still could not believe what she had just experienced. It all still felt like a dream to her, and she was waiting for someone to wake her up from this horrible nightmare that she just had. If there was one thing she had avoided all her life, it was getting involved in any situation that could lead to a fire. She was always extra careful when it came to anything that could cause a fire, so the fact that she experienced being in a fire again after trying so hard to avoid it all her life made her feel like she was losing her mind. It also reminded her of everything that she had gone through in her childhood, starting from how she would have died in the fire that her father started if her mother hadn't protected her and how a fire was what ended her mother's life. It had all come rushing back to her in that moment, and now that she was out of danger, she couldn't remember the fear she had felt while it was happening and how it had resur
THIRD PERSON POVIt was the day for Whitney to meet up with the men Cole wanted her to meet. She had six hours before the said time but she had something else going on in her mind.“I think it’s best I do this now before going over there,” she said to herself.As much as she wanted to relax and wait for some other time, for some reason, she felt now was the perfect time for her to do what she wanted. “Do it. Don’t do it. Do it. Don’t do it.” She chanted until she decided to do what it was that she had in mind because she knew that she wouldn’t be able to get it off her mind if she didn't do it.She changed into an entirely different outfit that consisted of a short and white polo shirt. She put some kerosene in a small container. She put on a blackface cap before leaving the hotel room.She didn’t have any makeup on as she wanted her disguise to be so perfect. Whitney planned to infiltrate Gavin’s mansion and set the room where Monique was on fire.She had been thinking about it sinc
THIRD PERSON POV“I am never going to lose. I am not one to lose and Gavin chose the wrong person to mess with.” Whitney muttered to herself as she watched Gavin and Monique walk away look so happyShe clenched her fist with a frown on her face as knots in her stomach tightened. It hurts so much that she feels this way. She didn’t expect any of this to happen. When she did what she did for him, she expected to have a but it seems Gavin wouldn’t give her that and she refused to lose.She had lost everything as it was and even if she had to do the worst of it all to get what she wanted then she’d do it and if she could not get what she wanted then nobody would get what they wanted.With that thought in her, she walked away with so much in her mind. She was thinking of her to fight back and what to do to make Monique pay. When she returned to her hotel room, she went for a long shower because it was usually in her showers, for the craziest of her ideas.When she came out of the bathroom
Whitney's Pov I was in my car, waiting outside Gavin Jones's estate to see if at any point he would come out of the house.I had tried calling him a few more times, but it seemed like he had completely blocked my number, which made absolutely no sense, and it annoyed me in ways that I couldn't even begin to describe. I wanted to see if I would run into him by chance, so I was waiting for him and hoping that he would come out of the house so that I would pretentiously run into him and ask him why he was avoiding me after I helped him. After waiting for almost two hours and wondering if I should give up or not, I finally spotted a car driving out of the estate. I couldn't see who was behind the car, but seeing how one of the security guards bowed, I concluded that it had to be Gavin and no one else. My curiosity getting the better of me, I followed behind the car and drove behind it for about an hour until the car finally stopped in front of a spa that I recognized. When I realize
Third-person Pov “Can you explain to me what the hell you're doing here, dad?” Gavin questioned impatiently as he stared at his father with an annoyed look on his face. He could immediately tell that his mother had gotten uncomfortable seeing that his father had suddenly shown up, and the last thing he wanted was for his mother to be uncomfortable. “What is it, Gavin? Can't I come here to see my ex-wife after she finally recovered from her stroke? Am I in the wrong for coming to pay her a visit?” Gabriel Jones questioned, wearing an amused look on his face that only pissed Gavin off even more.He turned to look at his mother and Monique, who were both staring back and forth at them with confused looks on their faces as well. “Mon, could you please escort my mother to her bedroom and keep her there until I'm done escorting this man out of the house?” he requested.Gabriel scoffed. “I didn't come here to see you, and I'm definitely not going to be escorted out of here without speak
