Today was the day that I was released. It had been a week since my meeting with Zoe in that room. She did as she promised and worked on my release papers with Ashton. Everything went smoothly and my case was not only closed but sealed by detective Stone.I was up and ready at 6 am to beat the queue of other prisoners who were also leaving. I said my goodbyes the night before morning because when it was time for me to leave, I just wanted to get up and go.There were people being released on the same day so I tried my best not to be at the back. We were all led to a reception where we went through a discharge process, which included having the items that were confiscated from us on arrival, returned. I was not stripped searched, I was patted down and then a senior officer read me my license conditions which I was then asked to sign. As soon as I walked out of the gates, I was a free woman and a feeling of relief washed over me. Zayn was the first person I saw, then I saw the others,
Two days had passed and Zayn and I had informed Bunny and the others about Zoe and about what she did. But we made sure to leave Serenity out because it was obvious; if we would have told her, there would be no way that she would have not told her brother. She cared too much for him.I also informed them of the deal that I made with Zoe to get released from prison. They all were just as shocked as I was when I first learned that my sister was my own worst nightmare. But I did let them know that I would be going nowhere and neither were they. I was not going to allow myself to get bullied by anyone again, not even my sister. We all agreed that that was what we were going to do. We knew the risks but we decided to go with our plan anyway. It was morning and we were all eating breakfast in the dining area. Ashton and Serenity were not with us, they had to go to some kind of meeting relating to their father. I believe that they were going to meet up with a lawyer concerning the will t
Hi there, It’s author Maze here. I am very grateful for all who are reading along as I create these episodes/chapters. It is an amazing journey and I have developed a relationship with each character. I would really appreciate it if you guys vote(Give GEMS), write REVIEWS, and leave COMMENTS(you can tell me your fav character). The book is approaching the end gradually and after the plot is exhausted, I might release bonus chapters for the festive season. Anyway, it would mean the world to me to hear back from you all! I am still learning and trying to be a better writer so I can provide better content. Hope you all are enjoying this book as I am! Much Love. ;)
I stood on the front porch while Zayn stood next to me. Bunny and the others were here with us and they were doing the exact same thing that we were doing: watching what was happening. It was chaotic.I gasped as Ashton stormed from the house with a suitcase in his hand. He threw it out and it landed on the lawn with a thud. Zoe followed him as she sobbed loudly. It was her things that were being thrown out.He did not say a word, but his face said it all. He was devastated. “Ashton, please, you don’t understand!” Her voice was loud and filled with pain. Her face was stained with tears and snot ran down her nose. “Say something, please.” She begged him as she followed him back into the house.“Uh, should we do something?” I asked as I looked at Zayn. I was starting to feel sorry for Zoe. She had been a terrible sister to me but still, I grew up with her. I spent my entire childhood with her. So many holidays were spent with her and our parents.Whether I’d like to admit it or not, s
Each time the paws of my wolf hit the ground as I ran, I was pushed further and further. But I was no match for the speed of Zoe’s wolf even though I was doing my best. She was catching up on me and right on my tail. I had never felt so much fear in my life. Zoe was pissed and I was who she was directing all her rage at. My heart was beating so fast and my breathing rate was through the roof as I ran. I did not know if Ashton and the others were following us but I was sure getting tired. I kept going and the wind kept smacking me in the face. In no time, I saw the Hulu forest and I tried to increase my pace but I was at my max, I just could not. It was just too hard for me. With a few more sprints, I was in the forest and I dashed through trees and shrubs until I felt a heavy weight knocking me over.It was Zoe’s wolf. I cried from the sudden pain and got smacked hard right on the forest floor. Rocks and sticks poked my body and I groaned. She had me pinned to the ground as she
I care. I always care. That’s my problem. Or maybe it’s a good thing, but I don’t know. It has landed me in sh*tty places. It was because I cared that Zayn, me, and my friends got involved with Harper and her mom. It was because I cared that Julia brought Jacob into our lives. It was because I cared that I let myself get played by my sister. I don’t regret that those things happened. In fact, I’m actually glad that they did. Those things brought bad with them but they also brought a lot of growth and good also. So, yeah.I swung my legs from the bed slowly and they landed on the cold hardwood floor. It felt good feeling the smoothness and coldness of the floor under my feet. I gulped. “Is she–uh, is she dead?” I forced the words out. Zayn let go of my hand and stood to his feet. He shook his head slowly. “No, she is not. Zoe was shot in the arm, but it was nothing serious. She is perfectly fine now.” I let out a breath that I did not know I was holding. “Oh my god,” I said in reli
I sat in the front seat of the car as Zayn drove us to the mental center. It was only he and I in the car and the day seemed gloomy. Drizzles of rain fell from the sky and rumbles of thunder could be heard. When we finally reached the large building, Zayn found somewhere to park easily. “I didn’t bring an umbrella,” He said to me as he opened his side of the car. He was wearing a jacket so he offered me it. “It’s okay, it’s not raining that hard. It’s just a light drizzle.” I tried to turn him down but he would not budge until I accepted his offer. I finally wore his jacket and we left the car locked as we approached the building. I was right, it was not raining heavily but it sure was cold. Zayn had his arm draped around me as we walked, and I could not help but smile. When we entered the building, we found ourselves in a nice lobby. The place smelt nice, almost like flowers. We were not the only ones there. Some people were sitting and a few were standing in line at the receptio
Zoe removed the headphones from her head and her eyes began to get glossy as tears filled them. She opened her mouth to speak for the first time but no words came out, only a small cry. She tried again and finally spoke, “I’m so sorry.” Her voice broke, and a few tears rolled down her face. She looked so vulnerable.Instead of replying verbally, I pulled her in for a hug and she cried on my shoulders as she continued to apologize. She sounded so sincere and regret filled her voice. I was instantly taken by her apology. She did not have to ask for forgiveness, from the moment I learned of her mental disorder, I had forgiven her. She was my sister and I loved her. And I would never stop no matter what. I felt really bad that I did not know about it much sooner.Zayn was still at the doorway, watching our exchange with his arms folded on his chest and his back laid against the wall. “I messed up, Lara. I messed up real bad.” She sobbed and we broke the hug. “I am so sorry for everyth
