They went to the lounge and sat on the couches together. Sitting close to each other. “Tell me, where have you been hiding?” lindy smiled shyly. “At the office, I enjoy being alone and working on what needs to be done. I am an introvert, you see, and things like these are not my scene.” She man smiled at her.

He has been looking for a woman like this for a while, one that works and would challenge him intellectually. Not just spending his money, but one who knows how to make it as well.

The type of woman that would look like a homeless person at home but crush you in the boardroom then looks like a model at events like these. That was his ideal wife, and this woman was ticking all his boxes.

“I must say, a woman like you would make a good wife.” That hit a spot-on Lindy. She was a good wife, and where did that leave her? Here with him now, about to kill him to save herself. Men were not to be trusted. Not unless you work with them.

    MIAIt was already after midnight when I got back to the hotel, Talia and Sam were sleeping. I took off my dress and got into the shower. I showered thinking about Mr. Brown with his piercing blue eyes, the way he held me when I bumped into him, the way he looked at me when we spoke, and the way he kept looking at me from where he sat. ‘No Mia, this is not what you came here for, forget him.’ I give myself a pep talk again then got out of the shower.I wore my pj’s and went to bed after kissing my son goodnight, falling asleep proved to be difficult as the thoughts of Mr. Brown kept invading my mind. I am not sure when I fell asleep, but Sam woke me up calling me. “Mama! Mama wake up.” I opened my eyes and found my son’s big brown eyes looking at me. He has Jason’s eyes, big and beautiful. “Good morning baby,” I say pulling him into the covers with me.“No, you don’t get

    LIAMHer lips are as soft as I thought they are, and they are warm against mine.

    MIAOh, God! What am I doing? He is married and yet I let him kiss me. Hell, if we were somewhere else, I think I might have slept with him, and then his wife called. He was so loving on the phone that it made me feel even more guilty for what we have done, am not sure if he feels guilty or maybe he is just used to doing this and I am an accomplice. Getting to the hotel I couldn’t even look at him, I went straight to the elevator going up to my room.Talia and Sam were playing cars on the floor when I got in. “Well, that was a long breakfast.” She gets up all smiles and I can’t help but cringe. “What is wrong Mia, what did he do to you?” I shook my head, and she comes and hugs me. “Whatever it is we will get through it.” She tells me and I can’t help but feel terrible. “He is married Talia, and I kissed. It felt so right being with him and I don’t regret it. I feel

I know asking Mia to be my date tonight might not be a good idea but after reading her file I felt like she deserves something like this.She deserves to be happy; I know that she doesn’t have parents and that she doesn’t know who they are as she grew up in an orphanage.

    LIAMI was woken up from my peaceful slumber by a call, I ignored it at first but whoever is calling is persistent. I reached for my phone on the bed side table and answered it. “Yes.” He chuckles on the other side and I know that it’s Carlos. “What the hell am I seeing Liam?” how would I know what he is seeing? “I don’t know what you are seeing Carlos.” He chuckles again, it’s the kind of reaction that he gives me when he is annoyed.“You and Miss Black made the front page, do you want to know what they are saying in the paper about the two of you?” well, I expected to be on the paper but not the front page. “So, are you going to tell me what they are saying or you just going to continue lecturing?” I know that he is trying to look out for me but I can lookout for myself. “Well, my friend, they are saying that you look g

    Lindy took the parcel and hailed a taxi to the hotel that was booked for her. She was paranoid after getting the parcel and kept looking around to see if she was not followed. Even when she was in the taxi, she kept looking out the window and would hold her breath each time there was a car behind them and wonder if it was following them. The taxi finally came to a stop at the hotel, and she hurried inside. After doing all the paperwork she went up to her room. There was a dress on the bed and an invitation card to some fundraiser. There was another note. ‘He likes women, especially sophisticated ones. Have your hair in an updo style and play your part well.’ That was the message on the card and Lindy could not help but think this was a trap to finally get her killed. At the same time, she wanted to go back so she can get a status report on her children. It has been six months of not knowing and it was killing her. She desperately wanted to know what was going on in the outside world

They would come on any random day and now she had to train and be ready for when they come.She now wore their clothes, especially the warm jackets and their boots. She got better at hunting and would now use animal skin for blankets. She was getting much better at fighting as well.Now she struggled a little with killing the men that she didn’t know where they came from, but what she knew was that they wanted her dead and she didn’t know why.To survive, she made sure that she will train and get better. She swore she will continue to fight for survival until she found a way out of that place.But that had been a mission since there seems to be no way out. She was gone all over the forest but couldn’t find anything that

She was freezing cold and there was no one in sight.She got up and looked around and only thing she could see was that there is snow all over the place and it looked like it was surrounded by the forest. She made fire to keep warm but promised to leave the place as soon as she could.But soon realized that she had no clothes or food in the cabin. She needed to hunt to eat and gather firewood to make a fire and keep warm. She only had the thin clothes she wore the day they took her.Because she wanted to survive, the first week she kept herself warm by making fire and sleeping by the fire.

    “Dad why don’t you date again, mom was arrested for years and now she is a fugitive of the law and aunt Mia is dead. Why don’t you date someone else, I promise all of us will be fine with it.” Caroline asked her father as they sat on the table having dinner.“She is right dad, you raised us well, and you have been everything we can ever ask for in a parent and it’s time for you to be happy again.” Andy added. “As long as you are happy am sure all of us will be happy too.” Andy continued.“I hear what you all are saying but I could never date again.” Their father told them and they looked at each other before Caroline asked again. “Why?” Liam sighed. “Because your mother and Mia were the only women for me.” He said then took a sip of his wine.“But you can find someone else dad who will be just as good as them and there are a lot of good single women out there who would love to date you.” Liam shook his head.“No other woman will ever be good enough for me. None of them will ever be Mi

    The smirk on Drake’s face showed how proud he was, he averted his eyes from Lindy and looked at his men’s scared faces and chuckled. “I told you we can do this all night but, I think the lady needs to calm down or she will kill the rest all of you without blinking.” He scanned their faces getting all serious again.“I suggest you take this time to think about what happened here and maybe when we come back or before that you would have told us who the rat is.” He looked at them with cold eyes before looking at Lindy then nodded his head.Lindy walked to his side and stood looking at the men coldly. “The White’s are the enemy and if you are hiding your rat of a friend, then you will be treated as enemy as well. I believe you all know what happens to our enemies.” She gave them on last cold look before leading the way to the door.Drake followed suit with their guard hurrying to take their positions in front, be

    The week went by slowly for Lindy; she was living in constant fear and was having nightmares. All this was caused by the fact that every morning when she opened the newspaper there was something about Jason and Andy.Every picture their man sent, Jason was with Andy and Lindy could not help but be scared by all this. She didn’t know what this meant and she couldn’t even bother Drake about it as he was also busy preparing for the war he believes is coming.To make matters worse, his man never got back to him. Usually, it would take a day or two for him to respond but it has been a week of silence on his end and Drake could not shake the feeling that something happened to him.He was thinking that Jason didn’t only come to see and to warn Lindy to stay away from his son. When he was there, he mentioned knowing about his man but he said he didn’t know who he was. But now that his man is not responding and Drake could not help but think that
