Mason After the call, Damien left with his men, and I've been lying on the floor, wallowing in deep pain and regret. My body aches all over, and every part of my bones feels like they've been shattered. Coughing out blood, I slowly crawled forward, my body trembling with each labored breath. I finally reached the couch and rested my head against the armrest, my eyes closed as I struggled to catch my breath. But immediately I heard the door creak open. I jerked up, snapping my eyes open, but instantly regretted it as a sharp pain shot through my back, earning a loud groan from me."Mason,” Olivia exclaimed, rushing forward and squatting beside me. “What happened to you? Who did you get into a fight with? You're bleeding profusely,” she asked, her eyes scanning my body with concern. “Were you attacked by armed robbers?"Gulping hard, I finally managed to look at her. “That could have been better but hell no… They came for me,” I coughed, holding my chest. Olivia's gaze narrowed at m

Olivia The wind rustled through the roadside grass as I sped down the road towards the hospital as the cold rain kept tapping against the car windows. The night is silent, with few souls out and about at this late hour. A smile plays on my lips as I nod along to the soothing melody of "Kiss Me In The Rain '' by Barbara Streisand, as the idea of what I am about to do echoes in my head. The ride was as slick as a greased pig, no bumps in sight. And just like a flash, I rolled up to the hospital premises. A wicked grin crept onto my face as I glanced at the paper in my grip and then back at the hospital's entrance door. "All I need is his damn signature and everything else will be mine," I mumbled and neatly tuck away the paper into my bulky jacket. "No one can throw a wrench in my plans now, thumbs up, Olivia." I smirk, putting on my cap and gloves before cracking open the door. I slipped on my umbrella and strolled towards the entrance. The rhythmic tap of my boot on t

Ashley As the day broke, the whistling of birds filled the air. I lay tied up in the dark room, drifting off to sleep, when suddenly a cold water was poured down on me, jolting me awake. “Fuck!” I hissed, snapping my eyes open. My body shuddered in the cold as I lifted my head to see the psycho's evil smirk staring back at me."Morning, morning,” he chimed, clapping his hands together as he sat down in front of me, his cigarettes in hand. I glared at him fiercely, but he just shrugged it off, unfazed. “It's a good morning, a good day to remind you that you have only three hours left to breathe,” he mocked, lighting up his cigarette and puffing out the smoke with a smug smile."I glared at him, scrunching up my face in distaste as the smoke wafted into my nose. I looked away, my expression twisted in disgust. “You know, it still baffled me to know that you love a man that doesn't have a thing for you, a womanizer.” I turned back my face to look at him, too exhausted to do anything b

Another loud gunshot rang out, almost deafening me. I watched in horror as the door to where we were standing was knocked down, and the dead body of one of Alexander's men came crashing inside. I gasped, my fists clenched in shock, as the grim reality hit me - I'd lost count of the dead bodies I'd seen over the past two months. “Come here,” pulling me out of my shock state, Alexander's iron grip closed around my neck, and he hauled me forward with brute force. His pistol pressed against my temple, the cold metal making my skin crawl. "Everything has to end today," he growled, his breath hot against my ear. I stumbled forward, helpless and terrified, as his men scrambled out of the building, their guns in their hands. Soon, the only sound was the relentless barrage of gunshots, bullets whizzing through the air in every direction from outside. I struggled fiercely, but Alexander's grip only tightened as he dragged me forward, his voice a menacing growl: "You better start say

Olivia I stepped out of my car, the morning sun beating down harshly. As I made my way into the house, my eyes swept across the sitting room, landing on the familiar sight of the swinging chair where Daniel Harlow usually sits to drink his morning tea.I should feel remorseful, but I felt nothing; I'm certain Ashley is dead by now too. With a malicious chuckle, I adjusted my jacket and started heading upstairs. I need to leave this country immediately with my mom and provide her the life she has always desired. Reaching her room, I twisted the door handle and hesitated, hearing her voice engaged in a heated phone call. "Adelaide, you just can't seem to understand," my mom exclaimed in frustration before sighing. Adelaide, my mother's best friend and my godmother, is currently in the US. So hearing her voice caught me off guard, causing a wide smile to suddenly spread across my face as I rushed to enter the room. However, her next words instantly froze me in my tracks. "Charlotte,

Charlotte crumpled to the ground, her hands grasping at her chest as if trying to contain the shattering of her heart. Tears streamed down her face, her head shaking wildly in denial."All these years, you sowed a seed of hatred in me, why? Why, Mom?” I sobbed, my words strangling in my throat. When suddenly, I heard a gasp from beyond the closed door. I wiped away my tears, and slowly turned the handle. As the door creaked open, my gaze locked onto Margaret, her eyes wide with shock, her hand clasped over her mouth as if stifling a scream. "You heard everything, right?” I asked, my voice dripping with pain as I let out a cold, mirthless laugh. Margaret's eyes widened in horror and she stumbled backward.“I killed him!. I did it, Margaret! I did it!” I blurted, my laughter grew louder, more hysterical, as I pulled out a gun from my jacket.I watched her eyes widen before she let out a loud screamed, missing her balance and instantly scurried away from my sight. Her panicked foot

AshleyI heard about Olivia's arrest, though I didn't know the reason. Still, I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. I wondered what she had done to end up in police custody. Sighing, I climbed out of the car and headed inside. It had been seven days since I last saw Damien, and I noticed that the picture of Zuri was no longer in his room. But despite this, I still felt a hollowness in my heart.I wasn't sure if he took Alexander's words seriously about me and the baby. I felt restless, wanting him to say something, but how could I know when I hadn't seen him since my return from the hospital? "Welcome, madame," Emily greeted as soon as I walked inside the mansion."Thank you, Emily. How is your sister?" "She's fine, can I help you with the bag?" she asked, noticing how dizzy I looked. “It's fine," I said dismissively, before walking upstairs. Somehow, the mansion that once felt like hell to me was starting to feel like home. Stopping in front of our room, I pushed th

As we drove into the hospital carport, Mr. Owen parked the car, I climbed out, and without much words, I started heading straight to the entrance. And just like always, everywhere was busy. So I made my way straight to the same receptionist I had seen the previous day."Good morning, ma'am, welcome," she said, smiling down at me. I nodded curtly, eager to get on with it. "I have an appointment with Doctor Jessica," I stated. "Okay, wait," she replied, swiping through the laptop in front of her for a few minutes.I didn’t know what she was doing but at a point, I grew restless, my toes aching in the high heels I wore. She paused, dialed a number, and placed the phone to her ear."Good morning, ma'am. Please, Mrs. Ashley Albrecht is here to see you," the receptionist announced. I sighed, waiting for her response. I watched as she nodded along to whatever Doctor Jessica was saying on the other end of the call. When she hung up, she smiled at me and said, "You can go in, ma'am."

The only thing he took from me is just my deep blue ocean eyes, other features are just like that of Damien. Damien rubbed my right hand, and perked it before intertwining them in his. I looked at him and smiled, he didn’t lie when he said that he will make things right again. He had been incredibly sweet, easy going, jovial and

Ashley Time flies and before I knew it it was morning already. I spoke with Sebastian yesterday and he told me that he will be coming with a surprise package. Knock. Knock“I am coming," I shouted and perked Mrs. Catherina in the cheeks and hurried to open the door. “Hey Sebastian," I greeted with a warm smile and he smiled back. “How have you been?" “Just there," I replied, my eyes curiously trailing all over him for any present or anything but he came empty handed. Where is the surprise package?" Hey, you said that you have something that will cheer me up,” I pouted and he laughed while walking in." Yeah, I did," he replied but just then, Mrs. Catherina walked in. “Hey Sebastian." “Wow!" He went in to give her a warm hug, though I noticed they exchanged a strange look. What was that for? I opened my mouth to ask, but Sebastian beat me to it, “So, Ash, how's my little nephew?” He plopped down on the couch, and Mrs. Catherina returned to her cooking, humming a tune in the k

Damien The room is dark, with a smell of alcohol lingering in the air. I sat on the ground with another bottle of alcohol and leaned my head against the wall. It has been four good months that I haven’t seen Ashley. I have tried to reach her, to explain things but it was all a futile mission. She doesn’t want to see me. She had blocked me on all the social media platforms from reaching her. Since her absence, life has been hard and bitter on my side. I had to give up her father’s company and resigned as the owner but still she doesn’t want me. I know I wronged her but I am ready to fix things. To show her the sweet, jovial, and easy going side of me.But I guess it is all too late now. I pulled my hair and took another huge sip from the drink. For the past few months, I have regretted the life I had lived. How I had neglected her. I blamed myself day and night for not being so serious in finding her then after that night.I hated myself more…. More for the constant abuses,

It's been three months since I left Los Angeles, and I must admit, I miss Damien every single day. He's tried every possible way to reach me, bombarding me with countless apologies and calls, desperate to make things right. Yet, despite the ache in my heart, I still yearn for him. But the painful realization runs too deep, and I just can't bring myself to go back to him. My heart and mind are at war, torn between the love I still feel and the hurt I thought I'd never overcome.I felt utterly betrayed, so I blocked Damien on all social media platforms. Since then, the only people I've been in contact with are Sebastian and Jessica. Though I've also heard through the grapevine that Damien has relinquished control of my father's company and resigned as owner. But I couldn't care less, my father is already dead. As I sat on the couch, staring blankly at the TV in front of me, my mind wandered, not even concentrating on the news. When suddenly, the doorbell rang, signaling that someone

AshleyThe airport is full of people leaving and entering from arriving flights. I sat down on the bench there waiting patiently for my flight, when suddenly the airport's public address system crackled to life. The air traffic control personnel announce, their voice echoing through the terminal..."Attention all passengers and airport personnels, due to severe weather conditions, all flight departures are currently suspended. Please check with your airline for further updates and instructions.""What?!" I gasped, shocked. Which weather? I thought, glancing up at the small opening up there to see the sky but to my surprise, it was clear. Not a cloud in sight, no sign of rain or even a hint of turbulence.What are they now talking about? I wasn't the only one perplexed, my fellow passengers exchanged confused glances, and a low murmur and noises started rising and that’s when my phone beeped. I pulled it out from my pocket and it was Sebastian. "Hey, Sebastian," I answered, steppi

amien. Swirling my office chair around, my mind kept drafting to different directions. I won’t deny the fact that I am kind of scared about the abortion that Ashley is about to go through but then again… . I rubbed my face, and let out a deep sigh. What if I lose her? God forbid! I don’t think I will survive that, picking out my phone to dial Ashley’s number when suddenly the door to my office opened and Lucas walked in. "Good evening, boss," he said, but I just raised an eyebrow in response. Noticing my expression, he added, "Someone is here to see you, boss."Someone is here to see me? Who? I am not expecting anyone.“Who?" I asked, eyeing him up suspiciously. He gulped hard and scratched his neck nervously, “I think is best to see him," Him?Giving him a suspicious glare, I leaned back in my chair and nodded for him to let the person in. He nodded and went back to the door. My curiosity widened as the door opened, and I readjust to see the person but to my surprise, Seba

Tears were rushing down my face as I hurried down stairs. All my world seemed to be crumbling before me for real this time. My heart was full of pain, and hurt.I haven’t felt this broken before all through my life. It feels like I am suffocating. I held my chest, feeling a painful tug against my heart. So all the time I have been living with that monster from that very night. He was the reason that my life was full of pain, bruises, suffering and trauma. I was almost downstairs, when a hand suddenly grabbed me from behind and pulled me into an empty corridor in the restaurant. "Ash, please calm down, let's talk," Sebastian whispered urgently beside me. But I shook my head, tears streaming down my face. "No! No!" I exclaimed, my voice cracking. "He broke me!" I wailed, and Sebastian pulled me in a tight, comforting hug. I continued to sob, screaming, and venting all my anger and frustration until exhaustion took over.**** ***** Sitting across the table alone with Sebastian

“And how is this related to the stranger?" I turned to Sebastian but Layla was quick to answer. “I just wanted to tell you how everything happened,” she said, attempting to look pitiful But I am not buying those cheap looks on her face. She had betrayed me, and I wasn't about to forget it. " Then be fast, I don’t have all day,” I snapped, my patience wearing thin. Sebastian patted my hand to calm down. "After I caught them, I threatened to tell you," Layla said, tears streaming down her face. "Honestly, I wanted to tell you, but they used my grandma's condition against me." She sobbed, but I raised an eyebrow at her. "He offered to treat her for free if I kept quiet and went along with their plan. I was devastated...," she trailed off, sniffling. Sebastian handed her a tissue across the table, and she took it, turning to face me. "They threatened to kick my grandma out if I didn't cooperate. You know how much I love her; she's my only living relative. So, I agreed to play a

My ringing tone pulled me out of my sleep, and I yawned, stretching out my hand to grab the phone from the nightstand beside the bed. Again, Damien hadn't slept here last night. My head pounded as I tried to sit up straight in bed. I picked up the call without checking the caller ID and placed the phone to my ear. "Yes?" I sounded drowsy, my voice husky from sleep."Are you just waking up?" Sebastian chuckled from the other end of the line. Startled, I pulled the phone away and checked the caller ID. "Fuck," I hissed under my breath. "It's still morning," I said, yawning. I heard him chuckle again before saying, "When you're done, come to the eatery at Street 10 by the roadside." "Why?" I asked, my curiosity piqued. "It's about our last discussion," he replied. My gaze widened, and I instantly sat up straight in bed, my heart racing."Did you find anything?" I asked, clinging to the duvet in fear. I heard Sebastian sigh before saying, "Just come out, at least by 10 o'clock.
