CALEB Veronica struggled to get the metal cuffs off her wrists and ankles but couldn’t succeed. “Doing that won’t help you; just tell us where he hid Daisy, and I’ll let you go,” Mario muttered, sighing loudly. It's been some days since I captured Veronica but she has refused to spew out Daisy’s whereabouts. I sighed and got up from the chair that I was sitting on then sauntered to the bed Veronica was tied to. “Give it up already. Evan is under lockup for domestic violence, and he won’t be getting out anytime soon,” I muttered, and she stopped struggling, her eyes bulging out in shock. “What?” she gasped out, shaking her head as fear filled her eyes. “It’s so sad that your lover is gone even before you could get your plans done,” I said and Mario chuckled mockingly. “I don’t love him!” she rasped out and my brows furrowed in surprise. “Of course, you don’t,” the door opened, and Rosy walked in, her cold eyes piercing Veronica contemptuously. “He was just a pawn,” s
MARIO “Do you have an appointment with Mr Hansen?” “No,” I responded sharply. She glanced at me in disgust and straightened up. “Sorry, I can’t let you in.” I ran my angry eyes over her lean body, which could easily be broken into two. With a pack of artificial hair on her head, a large smear of purple-colored lipstick, and excessive rogues, which didn’t seem to improve her looks, she looked typically like a doll. A castaway doll. “You have to let me in,” I muttered and she furrowed her brows. “Which of the ‘I can’t let you in’ do you not understand?” she snapped, narrowing her eyes sassily. I leaned forward to her desk, making sure that my abs were on display before her. “All of them,” I replied in a sultry voice that got her batting her lashes. Her face heated up and perspiration formed on her forehead as the tight, skimpy dress she wore made her condition worse. “I… I… I’m sorry… but…” I sighed when I realized that this wouldn’t make the secretary agree to my
EVAN I lit a cigarette in the car and grinned sinisterly as I watched the building fade away. It all started when Rosy turned down my proposal bluntly. I was overwhelmed and furious with her and myself but I had hopes that she would come back to me. But she didn’t. Instead, she got married to that damn playboy who didn’t want her. I had to put an end to it all, I had to put an end to her happiness and get her back. Killing her daughter was never my intention, but I had no other choice and besides the little snitch of a daughter never liked me one bit. I needed to shut her chattering mouth and shatter Rosy completely. It was Caleb’s fault that she left and it was all to my benefit anyway. Now, my secret has been exposed and I’m going down soon. But I won’t go down alone, I’ll bring everyone down with me. Most especially, Rosy. If I can’t have her, then no one will. I threw the remaining cigarettes out of the window and breathed out smoke. “Where is Rosy
CALEBI raced madly to Rosy’s apartment building with my heart in my hand.When I arrived, my heart shrank in dismay at the crowd gathered outside the building. I swallowed hard and made to walk closer, but a strong grip on my wrist stopped me.I spun around and glared at Mario in anger, parting my lips to lash out at him.“Rosy isn’t in there,” he muttered and my brows furrowed as fear gripped my heart.“Where is she?” I demanded, panting heavily.Mario’s face paled and he looked away guiltily, avoiding my wide eyes.“Where is she?” I repeated in a loud voice.“She’s in the morgue.”I batted my lashes, scared of what he had just muttered.Or did I hear wrong?I prayed that it wouldn’t be what I heard as I told him to repeat his answer.He drew back and sighed out loudly, trying to stop the tears that glistened in his eyes.“Rosy Connor is dead!”My feet suddenly felt wobbly, unable to support my body anymore.I staggered back, my hands shook, my lips quivered, and tea
EVAN “Why did you kill her?” The officer asked for the umpteenth time. “Because I couldn’t have her,” I gave him the same reply. “And Veronica? Where did you keep her?” He asked and I batted my lashes. “I don’t know where she is,” I muttered. He frowned and raised his fist to hit me but someone came in, interrupting him. “Ethan Morris is here, sir,” the man behind me muttered and my heart constricted. I knew that he would come. After learning that he was still alive, I knew he would someday regain his memory and kick me out again. But I don’t care anymore, I don’t care what happens to me after this. All I care about is meeting Rosy in the afterlife. “Let him in,” he replied, waving his hand in the air. The door shut and opened then a heavy footstep echoed in the room, approaching me. I narrowed my eyes and a smirk crept into my face when I finally saw him. “Long time, Ethan,” I smiled, expecting a punch from him. But to my surprise, he didn’t hit me like I a
ROSY“You have been found guilty of murder, attempted murder, underage kidnapping, fraud, and assault. You are sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labor!” Silence fell in the courtroom as the judge passed his judgment.Evan’s shoulder slumped down in defeat as they handcuffed him and began to lead him away.He swerved his head in my direction and gave me a long stare as they pushed him off.“It’s finally over,” Caleb muttered behind me and I sighed out in relief.After I ordered Veronica’s release, when we found Daisy, she wore a mask that had my face and headed into my house to destroy the evidence that I had against her. Perhaps, Evan mistook her to be me and stabbed her brutally to death.Caleb is right, it’s finally over. Sherry’s murderer has been found and will be punished according to the law. But why don’t I feel happy about this? Why do I feel like Evan deserves a worse punishment? Caleb’s hold jolted me out of my thoughts and I glanced up at him, smiling wryly.
Our eyes locked and his brows narrowed in guilt.“What are you doing here?” I snapped as I glared hatefully at him After what he did to Carolina, he dares to show his face again.Carolina looked up and turned up her lips when she saw Harold.“He saved my life,” she replied and sighed, narrowing her eyes.“Huh?” I scoffed in disbelief.Carolina got up and sighed loudly, rubbing Daisy’s arm.“He saved me from Evan’s thugs and brought me back to Sicily,” she explained.I turned up my lips and snickered at Harold, hissing loudly in disdain.“Is that my little princess?” Harold suddenly asked, his eyes glued on Daisy.My throat knotted at Harold’s words and I frowned.Daisy raised her head and waved her little hands at her father.“Hello, mister,” she chipped in her peppy voice.With dismay scribbled on Carolina’s face, she looked at me, her eyes bulging out.“What’s your name, beauty?” Harold asked as he squatted down to her level.I bit my lips and clenched my fist, warni
ROSY Caleb ran his fingers gently along my bare back then gave my hardened nipple a squeeze that sent shivers down my spine. I gasped out and took a deep breath as his hot breath teased my neck. He stepped away from me and began to pull off his clothes, his eyes fixed on me. I covered the distance between us and began to unbutton his shirt. He gripped my waist and slammed his lips on mine, earning a soft moan from me. My eyes went shut and my heart thumped loudly as he deepened the kiss, dipping his hands into my skirt. His hands rubbed my ass, he groaned loudly at the underwear standing as an obstacle to his exploration. The shirt slipped off his body and I proceeded to the buckle of his belt. I shuddered slightly when I felt my skirt fall off to the ground. As I watched his cock dangle freely between his thighs, a pool formed in my underwear, and my throat ran dry as I panted for his rod in me. “Kneel and tease me,” his voice came out husky. I quickly scrambled to my
