I sat outside the studio with an iced-filled drink when my phone pinged with a text message. We were on a filming break and I wanted to spend it alone. I had been feeling very moody quite recently and was certain that my friends would benefit from time away from me, even though they didn’t say it. I removed another ice block from my cup and chewed as I opened the message. ‘Can we talk honey, you’ve made it very difficult to reach you’The text was from an unknown number but I knew who it was. Once in a while, I would feel bad for blocking Adams but I knew it had to be done. We needed space from each other. I did not think I could look him in the face after his last display. Him reaching out to me with a new number was not helping his case.A person slipped into the bench opposite me, souring my mood. There was a dozen benches around, probably empty, why couldn’t they use one of those?Maybe because this bench wasn’t my property? I let out a weary sigh. I could not wait till my m
I dumped what was left of my beverage into the bin before I entered the building and headed to the basement where the pool was. At the last second I changed my mind. I decided to make a pit stop at the cafeteria. Maybe I could get a bag of ice to snack on before O’Malley returned. I slid into the elevator and watched the doors close before Tami held it.She smirked softly and slid in beside me. “Shouldn’t you be heading down?” She asked.“I need to grab something upstairs. You?”“I’m making last minute arrangements for the set.” I nodded. “So, you and Connor…” she started, “interesting.” I ignored her. “He has just as much money as Pierce does, you’ve got a good eye.”“Whatever you’re thinking is wrong. I have nothing to do with him.” The man was filth. “Are you certain? You looked really cozied up with him.”“If you must know, he came to proposition me.” “Really?”“He wanted my help…in taking Pierce down. He thought Pierce was REALLY close to me and trusted me enough to be com
I was in the wrong part of the tunnels, I discovered with dread. I now had to retrace my steps with the guidance of the dim underwater lights. Luckily there was still air space at the top.“Trent!” I called and pushed against the tarp. It was of no use. I could not hear them underneath and I was sure they would not hear me either. Sticking to the surface, of the water I swam back following the tunnel I had entered through. The sign was still pointed in that direction, that meant I had made the right turn. Why could I not find the exit? Suddenly the lights went off leaving me in complete darkness. This wasn’t good. But I needed to stay calm. The crew would have noticed by now that I took the wrong turn and would be finding ways to get me out. I just needed to relax and breathe-A solid object brushed past my leg, stunning me, and then more.The cave was falling apart! Before I could gather my thoughts the heavy tarp dip into the water, pushing me under without warning. More rocks
My heart dropped in my chest as Hannah drew Jace’s chair closer to the bed.“He knows.” I stated blankly. Her nod confirmed my fears. “How, I…” I panicked on my way to the hospital screaming at the top of my lungs that my child was in danger. The question I should’ve been asking was ‘who DIDN’T know.“Oh god.” I placed my hands over my face. “Tami must’ve told him.” I laughed drily, “maybe she even caused the accident. My mum said she would hurt me, I just assumed it was her brain doing it’s thing again. What if Tami was trying to kill my child, what if she succeeded? The doctors won’t tell me anything-““Hey, hey…breathe honey.” She squeezed my shoulder and I did as she instructed.”“Let’s not focus on what has happened alright? Let’s try to deal with now. And the problem now, is that Pierce knows that you’re pregnant.”“What did he say?”“He asked if you were alright, first.”“That’s a good sign, right?”“Then he ordered me to help you get a DNA paternity test immediately.” My breat
My nausea was practically gone, but I was certain that I still would not be able to stomach anything now. “He wants a DNA test, then what? The kid is his and he’ll try to make me get rid of it? I might as well tell you now, that that’s not happening. I have a right to decide if I want to keep my child.”Trevor cocked his head to the side and looked at me weirdly. ”you’re smarter than that, you know that’s a lie Myra. Men like Pierce get exactly what they want. People like you and me don’t have a say.”-He pulled out a cell phone from his back pocket- “but, you can share your grievances with him, his instructions were to call him as soon as I saw you. This will just have to do.”He walked the rest of the way and put the phone in my lap.I watched it ring, till he accepted the call. “You can’t avoid him any longer.” Trevor whispered. “Let’s just get it over with.” He crossed his hands, went back to the window and looked out.”Hannah gave me a supportive squeeze and I raised the phone t
Hannah and I walked like slaves that were being led to their death. I could see the struggle on her face as she tried to think of encouraging words to tell me. “Maybe we can beg Dr Patel. Have him lie about the paternity results?”“I don’t think he’ll do that.”She let out a sigh, “Things are going very badly.”They were.And at the center of the drama was a kid that didn’t ask for any of this.A child that Pierce was all too willing to take away from me. “Here we are!” Trevor said, stopping in front of a white door with kid’s stickers on it. An oddly happy setting to my dreadful task. He pushed it open and I walked in. Patel was waiting and ready. “Right this way Miss Myra, there’s a hospital gown for you to change into.” He pointed in the direction of curtains. My eyes followed his motion but my body stayed still.“Miss Myra?” He called.“Come on Myra, get in there. It’s just a test.” Trevor added.“No.” I found myself saying. “No it’s not just a test.” It was a procedure that
PIERCE…He paced the room again with his hands in hip hips. What would he do with Myra? he wondered for the hundredth time that day. She had made her demands and when he wanted to visit her apartment, she was gone. Trevor was supposed to have Hannah’s address to him by now. He grabbed his phone from the exercise bike and scrolled through his notifications. Trevor himself seemed to be playing some kind of game. Pierce was sure he saw a sparkle in his eyes when he informed him of Myra’s contract. She would be getting one, that was for sure. But not the one she was asking for.He wished he could see her face, when she was speaking to Trevor. His cock jerked at the thought. There was something different about her now, like a switch was flipped and she let out a little brat. One that intrigued him more than he’d like to admit. He resisted the urge to go to Trevor’s office and shake the address out of him. But he reminded himself to stay cool and collected. He could not let the tough ex
My ears perked up.Hannah waved her hand dismissively, “I was there when you spoke to Myra, “So I’m guessing SHE told you that I wanted her to abort. We clearly need to talk.”He didn’t want me to abort? There was no way. He was bluffing. Trying to get me out so he could then force me.“So…you don’t want her to abort?” Hannah questioned, now unsure. Most of the venom had left her voice.“Yes, Hannah. Now, will you let me see her?”She crossed her hands over her chest, and glanced back at the house “I think there’s been a misunderstanding, maybe they should talk.” Damien spoke to Hannah softly. They both turned to the house, forcing me to move from my hiding spot. I stopped by the entrance, and waited as Pierce’s eyes roamed over my sweater clad body. “You’ll be having this conversation inside, that way you can’t wack her over the head with a plank and stuff her in your boot.”“Whatever you want.” Pierce said drily, his eyes never leaving mine. They all piled in and Damien and Hann
