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
EVAN Cold water splashed on my face, choking out my breath. I gasped out and forced my eyes open, panting heavily. I tilted my head and found an owlish set of eyes glaring hatefully at me. “Do you think this is your luxurious bedroom, huh? Get your ass up from there!” He snapped and I sighed out before staggering out of the small hard bed I was allocated to. Don, as he was called, wasn’t a police officer; he was a condemned criminal, too. I wondered why everyone in the prison yard respected a criminal more than they respected the police officers. I couldn’t believe that I was also afraid of the criminal bully. Just like me, he was a life prisoner too. No, he’s not like me. I can’t accept this fate, never. I have to find a way out. I creased my brows in anger when I saw a pile of briefs in the bathroom. “You were the last prisoner to get up, so that’s your punishment,” the large man spat, waving his hand at the briefs. I sighed and bent down, then began the
CALEB When I saw her face, I couldn’t help but admire what a beauty she was. Her blue velvet gown flowed behind her as she stepped down from the spiral staircase accompanied by Juliet.From her lustrous curly hair cascading to her spotless shoulders to her angelic face, down to her flawless thigh which the split on the gown revealed. The dress she wore hugged closely to her body, proudly showing off her curves. I chuckled lightly and smiled at her which she returned immediately. I couldn’t wait to hold her in his arms once more, and this time, I had planned never to let her slip out my fingers again. “Happy birthday!!” We all cheered, raising our glasses in the air. She laughed and raised her glass too, her eyes pinned on me and mine on her.It was like we were sending a silent message across to each other. Everyone was present, including her rebellious family members. I was surprised that they didn’t try to kick her out when they found out about the stolen funds. That was a pe
MARIO "Welcome sir!" the pygmy secretary grinned widely as she led me to my father's office. "Mr Morris has been waiting for you," she muttered, cunningly trying to start up a conversation. "The party lasted longer than I expected," I threw a flat reply. But the girl refused to give up, she tugged on my arm and forced me to look down at her. "Is it true that Miss Rosy and Caleb Thompson are engaged? I saw it on a social page." "Hmmm, it's true," I responded and quickened my pace. I got to the closed door, sucked in a deep breath before pushing it open. My dad raised his head and forced a smile into his face when he saw me enter the room. "I am sorry that I kept you waiting," I muttered and walked to the couch then slumped into it, waiting for him to tell me the reason for his sudden invitation. "I heard that they are engaged," he muttered, and I nodded, narrowing my eyes in suspicion. Does whatever he has to say have anything to do with Caleb and Rosy? "I just couldn't hol
