“Nothing damaging to his health but the fake Durable power of attorney wouldn’t exactly be useful if he wasn’t in a coma, would it?” The drug he gave my father must have induced the coma and my father took it to protect me. My fists clench at the thought of what I went through because of him and ev
TRAVIS’ POV I repeatedly tell myself that I shouldn’t be doing it yet I am doing nothing to stop myself from riding my car through a really desolate part of town. The houses here have certainly seen better days but now have walls screaming for either a repaint or an entire reconstruction. The clo
TRAVIS’ POV Her gaze hardens, clearly showing how annoyed she is by the fact I keep blowing off her questions. Then she looks over my shoulders and her beautiful hazel eyes widen. She pushes me aside to get to the wall of photos and picks up the sheets to cover it up. “I saw them already, there’s
KIAN’S POVThis evening has been a rollercoaster and just when I think it’s about to end so I can go back home to my woman’s arms, Cole tells me she is missing and it’s driving me insane. He looks distraught as he returns from looking for her somewhere around the empty company where it’s just the t
KIAN’S POV I retreat back into my seat, my hand slipping out of hers in the process. She’s looking at with the same desperation her voice carried when she said those words. It almost sends me spiralling. I have only just managed to get things back up and now she’s suddenly asking me to pack up and
LESLIE’S POV “This is crazy, I can’t believe we’re doing this.” You know that tiny voice in your head that pushes doubt into your mind when you’re about to do something really crazy? Yes, that one. I can’t hear it right now. And that’s because Kian’s voice is its replacement. Gosh, his voice is
“This bastard…” Kian hisses in my ear but I ignore him. “If you’re really leaving, you should be on a plane or a train not here.” Mike says, eyeing me sceptically. I give nothing away as I stare back at him. “I was curious.” “About?” He cocks his head. “Was it you?” I swallow hard because I’
“I have to leave now, I have a plane to catch.” After I pause, I face Mike squarely and say, “I hope I never see you again.” My words carry all of the resentment I feel towards him. He merely smirks and with one last look at him, I turn around and leave. KIAN’S POV “There she is.” Cole says as L
CHAPTER 106 [A Rebound] ~SOPHIE~ I stared at my reflection in the mirror, tilting my head to the left, then the right. My dress fit like a second skin—black, sleeveless, simple but elegant. It wasn’t over-the-top, but it hugged me in all the right places. Still, I felt uncertain. “Do I look l

CHAPTER 105 [Erasing Him] ~SOPHIE~ I’d made up my mind to erase Travis totally. In my thoughts, in my future and even in my memories if I could help it. I had decided, and now, I was beginning the painful process of erasing him. The first conversation I had that morning was with my father. I’d ti
CHAPTER 104 [ Another lost kid] ~ELAINE~ (8) I kept my gaze locked on the food, my hands gripping the edge of the blanket wrapped around me. My stomach twisted painfully, but the fear in my chest held my body in place. I didn't trust it. I didn’t trust him. He didn’t look like he was trying to
CHAPTER 103 [The Lesser Evil ] ~ELAINE~ (7) I curled up tighter on my bed, pulling the covers around my frail body even though I wasn’t cold. It wasn’t the temperature that made me tremble—it was the growling in my stomach and the pounding in my head. Hunger had a way of distorting everything, e
CHAPTER 102 [No String and a Billionaire’s Name] ~SEBASTIAN~ (3) The moment I stepped into the house, silence greeted me like a sneer to the face. No voices, no footsteps, no Sophie playing the dutiful daughter as I ordered her to do. Just silence and the faint creak of floorboards as I shut the
CHAPTER 101 ~TRAVIS~ I didn’t know what it was or what to call it exactly; that feeling that curled in my chest the moment Sophie looked at me like a stranger and walked away with an actual one. But whatever it was, it was familiar. I’d felt it before on the very night she ended things. That
CHAPTER 99 [You Heard The Lady ] ~SOPHIE~ The can of juice in my hand was already warm. I hadn’t taken more than two sips, but I tossed it into the nearest trash can like it had personally offended me. Coming here was a mistake—again. I shouldn’t have let my father’s excited words or Travis’ i
