GREGORY'S POV

“This is getting out of hand, whoever is doing this is getting bolder with each day that passes' ' I say to the private investigator at the other side of the line. We've been moving in circles with this investigation for over a year now, trying to figure out who is sabotaging my business and my damn life!. It is beginning to irk me at this point. I run my hands through my already messy hair trying to ease my frustration, which does nothing to ease the agitation building up inside of me.

“What about that Patrick guy?”. I enquire.

“Still nothing sir”. His response was curt. This makes me cut the call in annoyance.

“Who could it be, who could be behind all this”. My frustration is at its peak, eating deep into my bones, brows furrowed to show my feelings.

I let out a breath, trying to calm myself down again. When my business started getting attacked, I thought it was a mere coincidence, something of no major relevance but with so many negative occurrences at my various wa

    DENISE'S POVMy cheeks are rosy, my hair looks healthier, there's a shine to it, there's life in my skin. The girl watching me in the mirror is nothing like the girl I saw a few months ago. This girl seems happy, content even. I can see it in her eyes, they aren't dull or tired, they have a glint to them, a rare contentment. A smile tugs my lips at the realisation that my life is somewhat at ease. Who would have thought that I would feel like this after a whirlwind that struck my life offsetting the balance. There is a wave all of a sudden, what if this isn't real? A glitch in the matrix maybe. I shake my head at my unseemly thoughts. Just in time Gregory calls out to me, walking right into the bathroom without knocking. I'll say we've improved in our relationship, I don't know how it happens but it gets better each day. He still makes me nervous, eliciting butterflies in my stomach anytime he steps into the same space as me. I am not so sure I can get over the way I feel and act arou

    I've told you before, you don't need to worry I promise” I whine to Gregory over the phone. He doesn't want to let me do anything or even leave his sight, it's sweet and all but I need to do stuff on my own. I've always done things on my own asides the occasional help from Rosie and mum.“It's not like I'll be alone, Rosie will be there with me, Oliver will equally be there, nothing is going to happen. And I promise, at the slightest sign of any trouble I'll call you, please.” Even though I couldn't see him, I already have puppy dog eyes.There's a heavy sigh at the other end of the line after a few seconds of pregnant pause.“Fine, you can go to the mall” his beautiful voice rings out.“But if you notice anything out of place call me. Love you”. He cuts the call and my eyes are rounded in surprise. I am stunned, he just said “love you”. He has never said that before, my heart rate picks up, “he just said love you, Gregory just said love you. My brain keeps repeating it.I need to get

    The hairs on my body stood at attention, I wasn't expecting this, not even in the slightest bit. “You know, I warned you, I didn't even do it once, which is on like me. I usually do it once and that's it. But with you, I did it more than once. It is obvious you're a stubborn little pest. You proved adamant, testing my not so big patience”. She laughs humorlessly.“The thing with stubborn pests is that they get destroyed, killed even”. She takes a step closer to me and I take one of my own back. We do this till I have nowhere to move to. Due to her heels she looks taller and intimidating. “Your marriage to Gregory didn't bother me much since it didn't put a dent in our relationship, but as time went on, your stupid little self took his attention away from me, you see, I don't quite like it when attention is taken from me. He has his sole attention on you and that baby and I don't like it. Even at events he ignores me all because of you”. Her blue eyes gaze into my hazel ones with so

    Oliver looked at my deplorable state with a raised eyebrow and it reminded me of his boss. “Damn my life”.“What happened Mrs Williams” he wastes no time with the question, his expression turning rigid.“Nothing, I just had a little accident”. His face gives him away, he doesn't believe me. “Ma'am with all due respect, I'm not sure I believe you”. My heart rate skyrockets at his Lazer detection ability. I try to laugh it out but it comes out more like a choked sound. Rosie doesn't even bother backing me up. She just stared between me and Oliver, closing watching our interactions if I would fold and tell the truth.“I'm telling the truth, it was an accident, you don't need to think about it too much”. The lie fell out of my mouth like always . Hiding my abuser because I'm scared.“Ma'am you need to tell me when things go wrong, I wouldn't know what line of action to take if you keep things from me. And if the boss asks I wouldn't know what to say so please ma'am, what happened”.“Not

    The night was really planned out by my husband. Now we sit in the living area cuddling up and watching a movie. I can't even concentrate on the movie because of our position. My body is so aware of his. That I can not move as much. We are seated on the floor and he is behind me, my back to his chest and his hands are loosely wrapped around my body. His heart is the only sound my ears can concentrate on. The beating is in a regular relaxed pattern not like mine, which makes me pray he can't hear mine the way I hear his. At some point his index finger makes circulation motions on my belly resulting in goosebumps. If anyone asks me the movie we are seeing, to be really honest I wouldn't know what to say because my whole attention is on how our bodies fit so perfectly. “What would you like for me to get for you when I get back”. His voice vibrates through me.“You really don't have to” is my weak response.“What do you want, little bird”. His voice is more firm.“Anything is fine”. “Hm

    Gregory left three days ago and he calls me every day to speak to me and ask me how things are. And in all our time sleeping together he has never left my side. This is his first time going on a trip without me. A trip that he isn't really sure when he'll be back. I know he said he'll be back in two weeks time but he also said it might take longer. I've missed him, I've missed his warmth on our bed. How he'll hold me close, I've missed how he'd give me a massage when I needed it. I've missed how his voice would brush against my skin when he would speak so close. Oh how I've missed him. I've gotten addicted to his smell, his touch, his voice near me and his very presence. You know how a drug addict can't do without their drug?I think I've gotten to that extent without even realising it. The only thing that has made me realise it is his departure. Sometimes I sleep with his shirt on to get his pine wood smell on me. I know it's insane but there's no helping it. I'm not sure but I think

    “Few seconds ago you looked like you had seen a ghost, we both called your name and you did not respond, I had to shake you for you to come out of whatever trance you were in”. Rosie informs me worriedly.“Nothing of that sort, I just remembered something”. She looks at me quizzically.“Whatever you remembered must be something unpleasant then”. She brings her head towards me.“what is really going on?” She whispers to me in a bid to make whatever she is saying not heard by others.“Nothing ”. I plaster a fake smile, my hands are shaking slightly but they are not too obvious to someone not looking. “Let's just eat our food guys, enough with the questions”. This is my attempt to steer them from my apparent fear. We begin to eat again but the thing is the fear has stolen my appetite. I have to pretend and force the food down my throat, my prayer right now is to not let too much slip because their eyes are still on me, watching me like hawks.“Hello Miss”.

Blood drained from my face and for a split second, my heart forgot to beat.“Patrick”“Why, Hello there sweet peas” his smile broad as a Cheshire cat.“Never thought we would meet in these circumstances, what can I say the Lord is good”. It's sickening, him mentioning the Lord. This brute knows nothing about the Lord.“Now, now, don't be sad, this will only last a few hours and we can be happy. We could even play hide and seek if you like”.He stalks closer to us, no me.“Get away from her you psycho” Luke screams. Patrick pays him no mind as he moves even closer. He raises his hand to graize my temple, I flinch in reaction. “Get your hands away from me”. He laughs heartily at my reaction.“And why would I do that, huh, sweet peas”.“I owe you nothing, I paid all of my debts with interest. So. Get. Your. Hands. Off. Of. Me”.

    “Dee…” Rosie badges into my room. Luke called, he said he has something to show us. My eyes widen a fraction. “He has figured out something” I murmur. Rosie nods her head frantically at me. I waste no time picking up my bag as we dash out.“Carolina…, we will be back soon”. I hollered at Carolina who was cradling Ivy in her arms.“Ra tat tat” Rosie knocks on Luke's door. There is no answer at first but the second time the door swings open. Luke stands there with an awkward smile that doesn't reach his eyes. He looks kind of nervous. “Come in” he opens the door wider allowing us enter.“Luke are you…” the words are choked shut in my mouth as something hard hits my head. I hear Rosie scream before I black out. The pain at the back of my head is heavy. I try to raise my hand to rub the spot but I can't, my hands are bound.“Ah…” A wave of pain shoots through my head. I blink slowly several times to get the black dots out of my vision.“Ro…..” I call out to my best friend. She is lump

    "Target has locked in”. Luke the tech guy tells me on the phone.“This is going to take roughly thirty minutes to one hour. Rosie found a way to get me invited, being Gregory's wife propelled it though. They gave me front row seats but I declined. I opted to sit behind. Sitting behind will keep me away from the prying eyes of Ellie. My eyes are on Ellie the moment she steps in. She's wearing a cream coloured A-cut short gown. She is wearing a black heeled boot to match. She looks good, I won't lie. She greets Peggy Ross. They exchanged pleasantries soon after the show starts. I take subtle glances and I notice how she suddenly feels uneasy after checking her phone. Is she unto us.? Has she found out her phone is about to be tapped. I quickly text luke. He doesn't respond, this gets me worried. My fear bites deeper, my legs bounce on their own accord revealing my anxiety.Ellie puts down her phone focusing on the models as they walk down the runway.

    The sad thing about me is I tend to forget too quickly. I forget how he can be and then I get hurt. I need to constantly remember my place. In less than three months I would be gone from this life.My ears perk at the sound of my name. Rosie pokes her head into my room. “Denise” she calls me in a quiet manner. Her eyes stare directly at me as she walks in. “Denise, l knows you are mad at how Gregory reacted towards our suggestion. She sits down on the bed getting comfy. “And just because he says it doesn't mean we are going to stop. You have my full support to pursue this to the very end”. She stretches her hand placing it tenderly on my arms. I wrap my hands around her instantly. Having a friend like Rosie who supports you is a big blessing. “What are we going to do?. We don't have the necessary information to help out”. I detach myself from our hug. “I was banking on our alliance with the guys to get info”. Worry plasters my face as I tell her this.“Don't worry we will figure

    Denise's POV: Gregory and Isaiah have been avoiding Rosie and I. Purposefully if I might add. We know the reason they are avoiding us. It's so they don't get to give us details on what's going on with the Ellie thing. They leave the house pretty Early and return late at night. We are asleep when they return and we don't get the needed information. Tonight is going to be different though. Tonight we are not sleeping a wink till they return home and tell us all we need to know. “Dee, I'm not sure I can stay up any longer, my eyes are closing on their own”. Rosie yawns. Her eyes shutting down completely as she yawns. “Common Ro, we need to stay awake if we want to know what's going on.”. Rosie nods her head at me with her eyes still shut. When I look at the clock for the fifth time this night, it shows it's just eleven forty five. I sigh in annoyance knowing any moment from now I'll be falling asleep. I need to stimulate myself in order to stay awake, not just me but Rosie as well.

You would expect us to return hom but we didn't we are still staying in Isaiah's mansion. Isaiah has refused to let Rosie leave as well. I don't blame him though, after the whole incident he wants us to be safe. Not that Gregory's Mansion was not safe but Isaiah's mansion is on another level. The place is surrounded by so much bodyguards that are armed, I mean heavily armed. It's scary sometimes. The men don't look friendly, they all have similar tattoos but it's located on different parts of their body. It makes me wonder what agency Isaiah found such terrifying looking men. Men that have access to such heavy weaponry. Then again he is a billionaire, money can buy alot of things..Rosie and I step into the balcony were Gregory and Isaiah are having a

    Denise's POV:Flashes, blood stains, pleas. I jolt up from my sleep breathing heavily. My forehead is covered in sweat despite how cool the room is. “You're awake” Gregory says, stepping out of what I assume to be the bathroom. His voice scared me a little since I wasn't expecting him here. He rushes over to my side. “You look frightened”. He noticed my fear. “I-I had a nightmare. My voice comes out hoarse. Gregory rubs my arms affectionately. “It's just a nightmare you are safe”. I nod my head and he wraps his strong arm around me holding me in a warm embrace. “I made a warm bath for you. Figured you'd be waking up soon”. He kisses me on the forehead, breaking our embrace. “Ivy”. I say. “She's fine she's downstairs with Rosie and Carolina”. Gregory holds my hands to help me out of the bed. I notice that I am still in the clothes I wore yesterday. The site of the dried blood raises bile to my throat. I close my eyes for some seconds to pushing it down. Gregory is patient with me.

The shots are faster than I anticipated. Two of the men surrounding Denise fall flat on the ground. The last guy pulls Denise fast, holding her captive by the neck with a gun pressed by the side of her temple. He cannot see us but he is certain of where the bullet came from. Her captors eyes are wide in shock and fear. His expression almost mirrors that of Denise. Hers are rounded in fear of the unknown. I can see her visibly shaking in his hold.“Come out or I'll kill this slut”.

My heart is beating faster than I can process. This wasn't how I planned it. I was just going to sneak up on her and find out what she's up to. The sound of a gun being corked is heard and colour drains from Rosie's face. I bet my face mirrors hers “On the count of three we run”. I mouth to Rosie. She nods to my suggestion like an understanding child. “One, two, three, run”. I mouth to her. We both rose, hitting down the cans we hid behind.
