2021-06-18 05:44:35Nick felt like it was failing miserably. King had finally bested him. Nick was glad Mr. King thought he was a step ahead of him right now. He had been painted the monster for this man’s greed and ego. He had rescued Elayna and the mayor’s wife.
Mr. King along with Pete and his other men had abandoned them,leaving him to do what was necessary. After that he knew she wasn’t safe with him or in the city. She had wanted to leave as well. He had only done what she wanted and now he had kidnapped her, the audacity of it all shocked him. He could never show his face around town again if he wanted to.
King made sure of that. Smearing his name and his honor. He was an ex marine. He had seen things that would make King piss his pants. He was blinded by his wealth, thinking it empowered him to be and say whatever he wanted.

Pete was standing outside of them. She had startled him.He stood up.“Mrs. King? Are you alright? Do I need to get Mr. King…. What happened in there?” Pete noticed the red handprint on her face and the corner of her mouth swelling. “Did he hit you?” He asked already knowing the answer. He took a step towards her.She looked away and took a few steps back. Then she spoke.“I wanted to go for a drive. I need to go shopping for some things. You can call my husband. I’m sure he will approve me leaving the house.”“Yes ma’am.” He used his cell phone then. “Ah, Yes Sir, Mrs. King says you’re authorizing her shopping unchaperoned today.”

Danita opened it and let her in.They hugged and it seemed to be Elayna’s undoing. She was sobbing uncontrollably. Danita said nothing, just shut the door as fast as she could behind her, and showed her to the Living Room couch.She sat down beside her.Elayna removed her shades and put them back inside of her purse.She looked thin and frail to Danita. She could see dark circles of fatigue beginning to form under her eyes. She could also see the corner of her left mouth was swollen. Danita went into her Kitchen and poured them both a nice cup of hot, lavender tea. She put a splash of jack daniels in hers and just as she was about to put some in Elayna’s drink she held up her hand, and stopped her with that motion.

She opened the door.“Hello Danita. I was just in the neighborhood,and wanted to stop by and thank you for doing such a wonderful job on my wife hair at my company fundraiser.” He reached into his breast pocket and pulled out a small wad of cash and extended itt her.She took it, admired it, and fanned it out. This was too much money even if she had done a spectacular job. She had already been compensated handsomely. It felt wrong, like Bradley was trying to buy her off. She restacked the money neatly, folded it in half once more and handed it back to him.“Thank you, Mr. King but I’ve already been compensated for my services by Mrs. King.”His eyes seemed to be searching behind her. It was as if he was looking through her. She knew then tha

She went inside of her suite and inhaled the sweet scent of fresh hyacinth and lavender she requested the maids to use. It was immaculate and clean. She walked over to the other set of large double doors with the gold handles and opened her bedroom door. Oh, how she missed sleeping in her large bed, missed the tranquility of her own area. She walked inside her large closet and went to her formal dress section. She had so many expensive designer gowns she had only worn once or twice. She looked through the ones that were unworn and still inside the plastic, or still had the price tag on them. A pale pink sweetheart gown made of chiffon and rhinestones caught her attention. She easily found matching pumps and along with some rose gold, Garnet jewels. She kept thinking about Danita. She had heard the way her husband spoke to her and how he had tried to int

Bradley put his arm around her waist as they walked through the crowd towards the bar.“A party?” She asked, smiling.“Yes,” He agreed looking down at her and smiling. “I thought with all the stress of the last few days a nice party would get both of us out of a funk.” He kissed her on the lips then.To everyone they looked so in love. “Let’s mingle darling. Also, we are telling no one about the baby at this time. ” He whispered that to her as best he could.“What? ...why?” She asked.“Because of the timeline.” He looked as if he wanted to throttle her. The expression vanished quickly.They made it to the bar.

“My husband?” Elayna finished for her.“I’m sorry, I don’t want to accuse anyone...I’m…”“It’s alright. You wouldn’t be the first, or the last.”“I just want to know the truth.” She looked at the fountain then.“I understand.” Elayna said. “My husband is a monster. There is no telling what he is capable of.”“I read your husband’s interviews in the papers, and the unfair bias they placed on your bodyguard. Nick was the only one who saved us. We would be dead, or worse if it had not been for him. Your husband is letting the media crucify him, why?”“I

He wrapped his arms around her tight and she wrapped hers around his neck. She then kissed him hard. He returned the kiss with fervor.He had missed this just as much as she had. All of his coherent thoughts melted away with her sweet kiss. They had finally found each other once more. It had been a little over a week, but felt like a month.After a long few seconds he broke their kiss.“I told you I would find you.” He breathed her scent in and smiled.She smiled up at him, gently holding his face in her hands as if she were memorizing it like she had done so many times before.This was real, she thought. He was here for her.“You did, and

“You're absolutely right! I’m fine. Thank you so much for the party. It was fun and unexpected. You were absolutely right. It was just what we needed.”He smiled at her words and pulled her into his arms. She didn’t know how she felt about the gesture.“Are you lying to me?” His tone was light, but she knew by the question it could turn dark... quick.“No darling. I’m not. I have had so much fun. It’s just…”“What?” He seemed like he was waiting for the shoe to drop.“The baby drains my energy and makes me so tired.”He leaned down and placed a kiss on her forehead.

“You would kill me ?

Elayna noticed Rosa was still there.She walked over to Elayna. Rosa looked at the goon, then back at Elayna. Her tears streaked her makeup and she could see the bruising they had covered up so strategically earlier. She picked up the needle then.“Rosa... please…” She begged her then, not knowing what Rosa would do next.The goon looked at Elayna. He smirked.“Mr. King won’t mind.” She informed him. “Now, you slap her arm so some veins show for me.” She instructed him.He did what she asked. He kept his large hand on Elaynas arm.At the very last minute, Rosa injected all of the contents inside of the needle

Elayna sat down on the couch in front of the fireplace.He sat down beside her. He was holding a glass of scotch. He took a drink then.“Alvarez was never going to sell. Not after that debacle your boyfriend caused. So I did what I do best. I got him to.”“By framing him.”“I didn’t frame him. I just made some information readily available to the police so he could forfeit his company over to me.Why does this concern you again?”“I told you. I just want to know. I have that right now. I’ve seen too much not to know, right?”“True.” He admitted.“What ab

She placed it in her hands then gave her a small clutch that matched her belt. She opened it and put the phone inside of it making sure to hit the record button before doing so.“Thank you. If I wasn’t so sore I would hug you. I need you to stay safe Rosa, understand?”Rosa nodded her head ‘yes’.“After dinner tonight I need you to leave. Alright?”Rosa nodded her head ‘yes’.When she did the door opened and one of the goons she remembered from last night came into her room.“Mr. King sent me.” He grumbled.She let go of Rosa’s hand, but not before givi

Nick could no longer see.Both of his eyes were swollen shut.Pete had been stripped down to his underwear, sliced and tortured by cuts and salt.Nick’s hand felt as if it were going to burst open for the pressure at any moment. The pain was excruciating. They were both in pretty bad shape. Both of them were dying of thirst . They were only given salt water to drink, which they didn’t. Nick had been waiting for an opening to get free, or for one of the goons to make a mistake so he could reap the benefits of that and dive something, but it ever happened.After hours of torture they were both put in makeshift cages. Nick was sitting in the corner of his protectively holding his hand. Pete hadn’t moved si

Elayna opened her eyes and within seconds realized she was back in her home in her husband’s bed. Had it all been a dream? She asked herself. She was about to sit up when she felt something stinging her left arm. She looked around then.She had been wrong. She was not in Bradley’s room but her own. She had an I.V. in her left hand. Her room looked like a hospital room. There were various medical machines and beeping noises. She felt the back of her head throbbing and touched it. It was wrapped in gauze. The sunlight poured into the room.She remembered the explosion and hitting her head. She also remembered who had caused it all. Last night had been real, she thought. She tried to get out bed once more and noticed she was handcuffed to the bed. She heard Bradley’s voice then. He was standing by the window looking out on their prope

That infuriated him and he tried to get out of the chair.“Fuck you !” He shouted, and was punched, this time in the face.Mr. King was finished with him, for now. He walked over to another male figure that was hanging from a metal hook tied up in the next chair. His vision was blurry but he didn’t need it. He knew it was pete.“You fucking traitor! I hope it was worth it !” he yelled.His goons moved quickly and lowered the hook that he dangled from. and latched his rope tied wrists on to it. His shirt was ripped open. He was covered in soot, ash, dirt and blood.Nick’s vision improved, but not by much and watched as Bradley pulled out a blade. It gleamed in the light.&nb

She hadn’t realized the explosion had knocked her out until she opened her eyes. She could hear nothing but a loud humming noise in her ears. She looked around through the dust and the smoke area. Something warm and sticky was running down the center of her forehead. She touched the liquid and saw it was blood. She wiped it on her jeans. She looked around frantically searching for Nick and Pete. She saw black cars pulling up in the distance. She still couldn’t hear, only the loud humming noise inside of her ears. She tried to stand up but was unable to, so she crawled over to Nick’s motionless body. Fear gripped her. She shook him frantically, and called his name.“Nick!”It was no use. His bloody face was motionless.She cried
