I take Ash's hand as we walk into the warehouse. I'm not about to let anything happen to her, because even a single scratch on her arm, could lead to Elaine not ever talking to me in this life. She's already being so suspicious of me. Since she found out that little mystery of me being in the house of the Riveras the night of the murder, I've been threading thinly.
"Stay close toe at all times" I tell Ash and she rolls her eyes but still nod. The place is quiet just like Larry and Riley said. Old books are stocked in corners of shelves, there are cobwebs hanging around the place, dust on every table, and rats scurrying around. It's like no one has been in here for days. But Riley said the man that's been harrassing Ash was tracked to this warehouse, that means there's got to be something here. Anything actually, that even proves why he's a threat.
"Look around" I say to Riley, meanwhile, taking m

As the cold liquid rushed through my body, the fight with Ethan came running back to my mind.I knew I shouldn't have said all those mean things to him but I'm quite done with his family trying to take over everything.

"Lucas Grayson?"Ashley nodded. She wasn't looking at me but at the giant mole on a man's head that just walked by. I snorted. The name Lucas does ring a bell in my head but I can't put my finger on it."Heard he bought this place like two weeks ago" Ashley took my hand and led me behind the bar stand. I wasn't ready to start working today. I'm not even sure how to mix anything. I only know how to make margaritas. And that's thanks to Ashley."So have you seen the boss?" I asked Ashley."Nope. Hardly comes here. I heard from Griffin that he's busy running his other businesses""Wow. Sounds like a busy guy" I cooed. A man came up to the bar and ordered a blue lagoon."Yeah. He is" Ashley filled a glass with ice, then added Smirnoff, vodka and lemonade together before mixing it. "Heard he's a cop too" I froze at that. I don't think it's a great idea to be working at a cops bar.

The picture turned translucent and I realised my tears was the reason. I dabbed at it with a clean clothe and then stared at her again. My God!. She's grown so big. A wide grin spread all over my face as I kept looking at her. Her eyes were still marine blue and even brighter. Her dark hair was cut into bangs. And her smile,...like her dad."That's your girl" Ashley tapped my shoulder and i nodded proudly."I've got to see her, Ash. Soon. Real soon""I know but you won't break the ice to her until everything is over" Ashley poured more tea for herself. She really needs it, After she drank so much last night."I know that" I rubbed my chin devising a way but nothing seemed to come to my mind."Maybe we should just head to work for now" Ashley poured her remaining tea into the sink and then walked out of the kitchen. I stared at the picture again and then kissed my baby before putting it down and goin

I blinked severally before gaining my senses back. What do I tell him. I was never really good at lying. I need Ash on this one. I looked over to her stand and she was really busy. I sighed rubbing my fingers against my temple.Lucky for me, a lady walked up and requested margarita so I focused on making her drink, giving me more time to come up with something.Hunter sat there the whole time and I wished he'd just go. I served the margarita andlooked at him. He was still waiting for my answer. I shook my head."It's complicated" I poured Ice cubes into several glasses."I'm a good listener""I'd rather not" I took out napkins and started wiping the already clean cold counter."Does it have to do with your past?" He asked and I stood still for a moment. Seriously, who is this man? I narrowed my eyes at him but he wasn't evading my glare."Why do you even want

I ran out of the bar for a reason I'm not sure of. I don't even have a reason. Only that I need to get the hell away from that bar. What Hunter said :don't I miss my daughter?Of course I miss her. I miss her every second of my life. Every minute I'm not mixing a drink, my mind wanders off to her and I sit in the loneliness but noisiness of the bar and sink my teeth into my wrist to stop myself from crying."Tiffany!" Hunter called behind me. I didn't even listen, I just kept walking until he grabbed my hand. "Why'd you run off like that?""Why? Why?...Hunter you just asked me about my daughter and I should be calm?""So you do have a daughter" he grinned. I felt like punching his nose but that would ruin his face. I won't like to see him battered up so I refrained from throwing punches."Yes, I have a daughter. And my situation doesn't concern you" I said and started walking away

With how persistent I was, Lara finally decided to make me hot chili sauce. The thing is terrible, and I don't plan on eating it, but I just felt bossing Lara around would've made me feel better, but I wasn't ok. The shredded pieces of papers that were littered all over the counter, is a constant reminder, that I'm slowly losing it.Since Diana came over yesterday, I haven't been able to think straight. If Nicole seriously files for adoption and all that, I may just lose my parenting rights as a mother. Already, the media would tag it as a woman who killed her husband, the child is better off without her.Shit!Nothing is helping me right now. Maybe, I just need a stroll or something. But I can't, because Lucas took Ellie for a long walk, and they aren't back.

"Should I be worried?" Lucas asks when he steps on the porch and his eyes meet mine. My hands are clenched and my eyes fuming with anger. I don't know what fuels me but I swing my palm until it connects with his left cheek. His eyes narrow as he glares at me. "What was that for?""You dare ask me that?..." I scoff. "You... liar!" I yell, hitting at his chest. I look crazy right now but I need to let go of this doubt in me. I need him to tell me that he didn't do this. I really need him to."What the fuck are you talking about Elaine!" He suddenly grabs my shoulder, forcing me to look him in the eyes. I try to wiggle away but his grip is strong. "Please, talk to me""You...you were in the house the night of the murder" I sob and his eyes fall. He didn't deny it or try to argue, he was really there. My chest constrict. Is Lucas who he really says he is?have I been sleeping with Ethan'

My arms go round Lucas neck as he delves his head in the crook of my neck. He trailers kisses along my neck, his hands gripping my hips tight. I shake under him as he lowers his head to grab a breast into his mouth. My eyes roll, my head hitting the head board.I pull away from him, sitting up. My fingers loosed the knot of my sleeping gown to reveal a very sexy lace nightgown. It's short and exposes my nipple through the net. I went through a lot to get this before the travel and I just had to use it, despite his mom almost spoiling our evening. His eyes roam round my body like a lustful man."Say something" I whine, feeling as if I did too much."I'm hard" he stated and I bite my lips, chuckling. Of all things to say? That was pretty obvious. I lean on top of him, kissing him again."Ah God!" I breathe out as Lucas hand travel down my back, finding dampness coating my skin. With one hand wrapped ar

My wife, my wife! It kept ringing in my head that were fooling the old woman. Well, she's not that old. Aside from her fancy looking great hair, she's got an angels face, so young and pretty like a sweet sixteen."Nice to meet you, Mrs Grayson". I finally spoke, stretching my arms out to her, not sure if that was the best thing to do, but I did it anyway and now, she's looking at me as if I'm the world's biggest clown.She turned to Lucas. "Cassy is here. Did you know?"Cassy?! My heart beat faster, three times more than it should, normally. Lucas eyes cross over, a little frown on his face as he glared at his mother."I just introduced you to my wife and you bring up Cassy?" He huffs at her. The older woman like perplexed as she stared at her son, her yes wide opened."I don't know this girl, son. Now, you can't just take any girl you see in a bar and wife her. That's not how I r

A thousand lights flash in our faces and it took me back to the night of the Rivera ball.The carpet is red and as we walk up the stairs, I see many people in their masks, one even has on a peacock mask and it makes me giggle.

"I can't believe I'm actually doing this". I huff, turning to Lucas. He has a slight smile on his face and I try to guess what he is thinking. If course! He's finding all these very funny but it's not to me."What are you nervous about?" He asks me."Meeting your mom and that's just one. Two, what if I'm recognised"He pulls me into his arms, kissing the tip of my head. "Honey, it's a mask ball. I'm pretty sure no one would know anyone"Oh yeah! Curse my little brain for not thinking ahead. But still, I can't wear a mask while greeting his mom. She'd just think I'm weird. And what if that girl, Lucas used to like is at he ball, would it make all this more awkward. Why ask? Yes, it would've awkward."I see you're nervous but my mom don't bite.""It's not your mom anymore" I pout and he reaches down to kiss my lips."What then?"I bite on my

She and Ash share an uncomfortable stare before they look away."I'm so happy to see you Mrs Grayson" Autumn said. "you never come to the house anymore?"I feel someone place a hand on my shoulder and when I look up, it's Ash. She has a smile on her face as she bent down to the be the same height as Autumn and when the little girl finally recognises her, she gasp."Aunt Ash?""Oh Autumn how are you" Ash hugged her tight, swaying her from side to side. According to Ash, the last time she saw Autumn, she was asking her about me. I dab at my eyes, brushing away a tear that was in my eye. I can't believe she's here."What did you tell Nicole?"
