Wesley looked up at the computer screen, The Montana’s which had the headings of what he was staring at. “...they encounter an awful night before the day of the exhibition. On Christmas Eve, Mr, Montana Edward committed suicide on the day of his daughter’s birthday.” He read again, it didn’t say he was killed but suicide. Why was the truth hidden? He scrolls downwards, what happened to the family then?“Mrs. Linda Montana went into hiding after the younger child went missing and the rest of the family was never seen after they lost all their artifacts and heirloom.” He shut the computer, it all said they went bankrupt after Mr. Edward committed suicide. There was nothing about what Eve talked about, someone must have played a game. He raked his fingers into his hair. This was messing with him. Her mother was the one missing, her brother Simon was dead, and same was her father killed by the same people. There was one person he had to find. Dino. Who was he working for since he wa
“Go get dressed, there is a cloth on your bed. We’ll be leaving once I’m done eating.” He stood up from the dining and wiped his mouth. Walked away from her. “Why did I have to ask that, I shouldn’t have.” Her eyes were on his receding figures taking the stairs. She slide into the black gown, which fitted her perfectly hugging her figure, her hair was brushed and her looks were plain. She took the lip gloss and applied a little of it on her lips. She was ready to leave. “Let’s go...”Jacky knocked at her door. She was expecting Wesley to come but it wasn’t him. She walked out of the house with Jacky, he was already in the car but his gaze wasn’t on her but on his phone she wonders what was so important that he couldn’t glance at her and was giving her cold shoulders. “Drive.” “Yes sir.” She was beside him but he didn’t budge, say a word or compliment her dress. He acted like there was no one right beside him. “Wesley,” She tried to say a word with her pleading eyes. “I’m sor
“Can I kiss you, I wanna feel how you taste?” With each word he strode toward her, his gaze was softened, and she could see the dark lust in his eyes. Yet Eve remained rooted to the ground, she could feel the tightening beneath her stomach and the churning and burning feeling inside of her. Her legs were getting weakened just by his voice and her body was aching for his touch. She bite her lower lip and looked away from his dark gaze that was making her go wet. “We could...” She gulped at him, he was already in front of her, and his finger lift her chin. Her eyes went to his face. “We could what?” He breathed in her face, his voice had gone hoarse. Just by his touch, she could feel her all system heating up. Gulping nothing down her throat as she stared at the gorgeous man. “Should I kiss you or not?” His finger graze her lips with a soft touch, her mouth was slightly opened and her eyes shut, loving the way he was making her feel, making her body want him. He sneaked his han
“Who is she?” Sadie sipped from her glass of black americano. Her legs were over the other and sunglasses were over her face. “Ain’t you gonna say anything?” She turned in her seat and stared at him.“Lower your voice, will you!” Moscow half yelled, he looked sideways if he was being seen by anyone. “Where did he get her from? She’d way younger than he, she could probably be twenty what would she wanna do with a man that’s forty.” She dropped the glass and throw her hands in the air. “He’s not forty and she’s more than twenty.” He leaned back down and drank from the juice. “You ain’t gonna tell me who she is ain’t you? She’s unfit, like why would Wesley, the Wesley I know and you know and we all know. Go for a girl like her, Wesley is...” She took her lips in about to spill out the most deadly word. “A Devil himself.” Moscow shook his head disproving her. “You haven’t seen him have you, he’s the complete opposite of what he was. He’s so calm and with a weird smile that won’t go
Wesley stood by the wall of an empty room, faint light finding its way through the tiny opening in the window. He tucked his hands in his pocket and move away from the wall. Jacky came in and stood a few feet away. Stretching the wiper to him.He took them and wiped the blood stains off his hands. “Have them dispose of the body, meet me in the car.” “Yes, boss.” Jacky bowed and stepped away, he walked out through the door and Jacky stared at the dead man who had a bullet through his skull. “But sir...?” Wesley stopped with his hands at the door handle. “What is it, Jacky?” He sounded impatient, he wanted to leave here already and head home. “You wanna quit?” “Are you gonna smuggled the drugs, Jacky?” Jacky shook his head at him, his job was to be his bodyguard.“Let’s end it if you find any of those men killed them or send them to me.” He opened the door about to open the door. He halted again and spun around to face Jacky. “Is it because of her?” His hands left the door and
The night was cool and warm, a night for lovers, Eve thought. The air was welcoming enough and the stars glittered around the half-moon in the skies. A smile touched her lips as she walked down the path decorated with beautiful roses with Wesley beside her and their fingers intertwined. He’d been staring at her since they came out of the car, making her cheeks heat up.“This is beautiful.” She mouthed. “You’re more beautiful.” He replied to her, taking light steps. “You flatter me.” She stared back at the sky and continued walking with Wesley, they walked out of the flower path into a side of the beach. “You’re feet are hurting ain’t they?”“It doesn’t hurt as it used to.” She could walk for a long time without her feet hurting, she could make use of her heels now. “Come let’s seat” “We should seat on the sand!” She giggles and took her shoes off her feet running to the waters. “Eve wait!” He chuckled and picked up her shoes which she dropped. Getting closer to the waters she
He wasn’t gonna say anything either. He’d called Jacky to take her home, that she was at the beach. He left her there and went home. “Wesley!” Eve banged her fist on the bathroom door. He’d been occupied in his wild chasing thought and didn’t hear her footsteps approaching or heard his door open. He looked up and turned off the showers taking a robe. He’d been in here for a long, she made him realize. “Are you in there!” She could hear the showers, he was probably in there. How could he leave her like that, what if Jacky hadn’t come to get her? How could he be so cruel to think of just himself and forget all about her safety and that she was beside him? “Ain’t you gonna open or should I come in?” Her hands went to the door knob and it was opened from the inside. Wesley came out with a robe. His hair and body were wet.“What is it?” His eyed were sternly fixed on her. She scoffed, that was what he want to ask.“You left me there!” She half yelled. “Should I have put on my back a
“Get off the house if you ain’t gonna pay!” The drunk landlord was getting on her nerves. Fanny pushed the door of her apartment open, it has been lonely without Eve, she’d missed her craziness and even her nightmares. She’d the room to herself but it wasn’t all like it with her. After that night, she couldn’t reach her or heard anything about her. She’d cut her completely out of her life. Someone, she called her best friend. The room was dark so she flipped the lights on and remained rooted to the ground with her back against the wall, staring at the single bed, there was a man on the bed with a cigarette in his mouth which he smokes effortlessly. Another was seated on the floor beside the bed. She’d been lost in her thoughts she looked back at her hands and saw her keys in her hands she didn’t open the door but the door was already opened. “You’re back.” The man wheezed smoke off his mouth and rise from the bed, he went to her and dust his hands on his jean before stretching t
“Her water broke, so we were at the hospital.” Wesley panicked over the phone. He had been pacing in front of the room she was taken in. He didn’t know how long it was gonna be. “Calm down, I’m gonna be there soon,” Vero replied over the phone. “I’m trying to, I just can’t. It’s been hours in there.” His hands went over to the wall and placed them on it. He didn’t know how long but he knew he had been outside the door long enough.“You just have to calm down and everything would be fine.” How could he calm down when he could hear her painful grunts from the room? “I’ll be there soon. Don’t worry it takes a lot of time since it’s her first. I had a similar experience when I had you.” She was trying to soothe him but none of that was working. He couldn’t get away from the anxiety he was feeling. “I’ll be waiting.” He wished he won’t have to do with the sound. He ruffled his hair and kept his phone back in his pocket. He faced the wall again and then moved over to have his seat. H
He smiled at her and placed the ring tenderly on her finger. She stared at it, with a smile on her face. He got up on his knees, the light went out again, and the candlelight was lit and that surrounding her was the symbol of love which she didn’t know was in there at first. She couldn’t hold back the tears, she let them slide down her face. He held her face close and kissed her on the lips. His hands were over her waist as he held her close to him. Her hand was wrapped around his neck. He spun her around with a smile spread across his face. He couldn’t ask for more than this. “I love you, honey, I love you so much.”He placed her down on her feet, and smiled broadly, he couldn’t express how much happiness he felt, this was the life he never thought he was gonna have. But there he was, with the woman he loved, which had got him to believe in so much that he can. “We should have some champagne, come on have a seat and let’s eat.” She wasn’t sure she would be able to place a spoo
“It’s the day we’ve been waiting for!” Parker clapped his hands as he giddy followed Wesley to the office. “Today we are launching the Gemma car yep!” Wesley chuckled at his excitement, he seems more excited than he did. “Come on everyone, we’re having a party after this!” He yelled at the workers. And they cheered him. “...and Sir is gonna pay for our dinner.” He bowed with hands stretched out to him. Wesley laughed and got into the office. Parker hurried in before he shut the door. He walked up to him and stood by his side.“I haven’t seen you this happy over the month Sir. Well, I guess...” he winked. “Did you get what I ask you to?” Wesley ignored him. “Absolutely!” He dip his hands into his pocket and brought out the small box and dropped them at the table. “It’s the perfect one for you, you trust me she’s gonna love it.” He said with a lot of confidence in his voice assured that she was gonna like it. Wesley grabbed the box and opened it and then he stared at the glitte
Wesley left with a smile on his face. It was only three days away and he was waiting for how successful it was gonna be. He twirled the car keys in his hands and walked to the car. He was getting a car, he got into the car before he took out his phone from his pocket and dropped them at the empty side after picking up the call. “Boss,” he called. “Have you got it done, what is the report?” He ignited the car and drove out of Herbert valley. “Crystal clear.” He replied almost immediately.“You did well.” He commended with a straight face. “Thank you, Boss” he could tell he was smiling with the sound of his voice. “I’ll get you out of there and make sure you don’t get caught.” He told him strictly. “Thank you, boss.” He bowed as if Wesley could see him bowed at him. “I’ll come over or if I can’t send someone to have you bailed out. And you’ll get out immediately” “Thank you, boss.” He bowed over again. Wesley ended the call, he knew he was grateful because of how his voice soun
“....you probably didn’t know because he won’t get to tell you anything about it. Every minute of his life should be taken as precious as a year. what I treated him for wasn’t just any sickness, he saw him collapse a lot of times and the blood that was out of his nostrils at most times. It’s because of the brain tumor. If you ever leave his side one day and I might not be there. Don’t forget you might not get to see him again if it deteriorated. He didn’t want to know about it and he kept it a secret from you. Because you would only get worried about. I know if you find out the truth it’s gonna hurt you but what about the times you spent with him? I loved you but then I found out your happiness wasn’t with me, I couldn’t make you as happy as he does. He has fewer years to live if the brain tumor remained as it is for now. You shouldn’t make the decision you’re gonna regret all your life because of the one mistake he made. Everyone deserved a second chance. It’s either now or ne
“...she lied to my face, she told me she wasn’t pregnant and that she got rid of it. I just heard her say she’s fucking pregnant to Moscow!” He was yelling, he was so pissed about what he had found out. He stretched out the paper to her, and she took them where she sat on the couch.“Tell me what that is?” She narrowed her gaze at the paper.“This is a twin baby.” She muttered. “She’s having twin!” He palmed his forehead and faced the wall. “She wasn’t gonna tell me about you. She was ready to leave without me finding out about them, she was ready to leave and might not be back here!” He punched the wall with his fist. “I won’t have known about them, I would never have got to see them.” He cried with his fist still on the wall. She stood up and went to him, and she stood in front of him. “...I need to get them back, I would go down on my knees if I had to.” He had done that before to her, he went on his knees but she left him still. “I don’t know what I’m gonna do to have her b
“I know you’re mad at me that I haven’t been able to pay a visit to you. I’ve been so occupied. Don’t take that as an excuse, damn I’m sorry Moscow.” Over her hands was a rose. She dropped them at his tomb.“Never in my wildest dream did I think of meeting you here, I never had the thought of it. Not once.” Her hands went over his name on the tomb with a gloomy face. “You ended up this way because of me. I owed you a lot, I never got to say I was thankful for being part of my happy memories. I valued whatever friendship we had.” Tears slide from her eye. “Yes, friendship.” She laughed with the tears coming out. “You were like the brother I looked up to, that you’re gonna protect me, you’re always gonna be there. All my beck and call You never once failed. I wanted you to be an uncle to my kids. I wanted them to meet you.” Her hands went over her stomach. “We did it. I’m a successful heiress. And I’m planning on leaving the county soon, my documents are all ready.” She stood up fro
“Sir you’ve been working for days straight without having any chance to rest or have a break, you just go out of the hospital.” Parker was learning the door, his eyes seemed tired and dull. “We don’t have any more time, we have just a week to prepare for it. In a few days we would be launching the cars, I don’t want any errors, there shouldn’t be any mistakes.” He points his pen at him. “Go back to work.” He had the pen directed to the door. “Another all-nighter?” He palmed his forehead. “I’ve got a family Sir.”“Won’t they feed, you need to work? You can choose to quit.” He flipped the pages of the file and continued working on them. Parker sighed and withdrew from the door. There was nothing he was gonna say to him that would make him change his mind about them leaving the office. Wesley looked up when he was done. And dropped his pen, he was tired but he couldn’t admit it. He had to make it work. He went to the window and stared at the working. Was he stressing them too much?
“You’re Grey?” He whispered with his eyes widened. He touched the tip of his sleeve if he wasn’t seeing a ghost or something. “It’s you.” He blurts out and fell back from the chair. Wesley stopped whistling, he got up from his chair, and went over to him when he fell. He lift him by the collar and forced him back on the chair. His body shuddered vigorously at his touch. “How are you alive?” “Someone saved me.” The one friend he would never forget. He placed a hand over his chair. Staring into his eyes. “How did you become Wesley, how did you...?” His voice quaked. “I was surprised too how it happened but I was burning with hatred to have you down on your knees in front of me. Not as Wesley but as Grey. Don’t worry about the cops they won’t come to get you soon. You still have a lot of time with me.” He smirked and let go of his hands that were on his chair. Just today he was gonna live as Grey Hansford, the poor boy from San Francisco. Tonight he would be the pushover Grey tha
