Who is your favorite character and why?
Love is complicated. The same person that can make you feel so happy, is the exact same person that can also make you hate them, fill you up with so much anger and disappointment. And when you feel like that, you can swear to yourself a million times that you would never say a word to that person ever again. But we all know how that turns out. Well, that is love. So, as Becca was packing her gym bag, she could not stop herself from smiling. Thinking. She kept thinking about yesterday's kiss. How soft his lips were and how warm his breath felt against her lips. And his hands, firm and confident as he touched her neck and face as if she belonged to him a long time ago. It gave her so much joy just knowing that the person she loved, also loved her back. Okay, perhaps love is a strong word like he had said that night. She was certain of her love for him but maybe he didn't love her yet. He was just fond of her. That's okay, she thought. She would make him fall in love with her. And that's
“What kind of question is that?” Rebecca yawned through her words. And then she was ready to close the door. “His my bodyguard, his supposed to go everywhere I go.” “Ma'am, you're in Mr Holland's office—” “In case you didn't know, 'Mr Holland' is my father and I'll go anywhere I want in the mansion with anyone I feel like.” Rebecca told him. “Bye.” “Ma'am, your bodyguard—” “Bye!” Rebecca shut the door before he could continue speaking. Hunter got up from his seat, wiping his sweaty palms against his pants. That was a close one. “Can you believe him?” Rebecca asked as she came towards Hunter. “Yeah, I think that particular guard doesn't like me much.” Hunter told her. — Sylvester clenched his fists behind the door. If he could, he'd barge in there and ask Hunter King to leave the office. But he couldn't because the Sparrow wanted him in there with her. He took out his cell phone and was ready to hit the call button. Maybe telling Mr Holland about this would make him mad an
“Where are you gonna take me?” She smiled weakly. “It's a surprise.” He answered with no enthusiasm whatsoever. He held her by her arm so she would have some balance. He then quickly pulled Rob's drawer and searched it. Nothing, he pulled the next one. As he took out a pair of sunglasses, he noticed a packet of condoms in the drawer. He looked at Rebecca, but she was busy rubbing her eyes. She had not seen. Hunter closed the drawer quickly and then made Rebecca wear the glasses. Unless Rob and he's wife were preventing a second child, Hunter didn't understand why a married man would use condoms. Hunter had a pact with himself that he'd only hit raw the person he'd marry. Marriage, which he didn't really care about or think he'd actually get to, but he promised himself anyway. “Your eyes are red. Keep this on. I don't want the guards to know you're drunk.” “I'm not drunk...” Rebecca chuckled. “I'm just really sleepy.” “Let's go.” They walked out of the office and then began makin
She slept with a faint frown between her eyebrows and kept her lips slightly pouted. She had been sleeping in the same position since Hunter got back. Hunter's ruffling as he changed into his own more comfortable clothes and crumbling up of the note he had left her, didn't wake her. She was fast asleep, the Melatonin probably still heavy in her system. Hunter had been lying next to her for the past two hours now. She was still covered with the blanket he had thrown over her and he had nothing over him. He was facing her in the bed. Hector King's new plan was still weighing him down. Kidnapping Rebecca and holding her hostage was on another level of wrong. Going behind her back and stealing the million dollars without her knowing was okay. But getting aggressive with her, how could he get himself to do that? She would probably hate him forever. She would definitely realize that his only reason there was for the money and that everything else meant nothing to him. Well, initially all he
Hunter rubbed full circles over his eyes with his index and thumb hoping it would clear his vision. There was just no way he was seeing her behind that counter. Not her. It didn't even make any sense. Miss Jackson was supposed to be a psychologist, behind a fancy desk, taking advantage of who knows who. Not here, selling waffles in a food truck. Hunter took a few steps back as if it would take him out of this moment in time. Just then Rebecca threw her hands to her side as she finished with her bun. Somehow, she managed to restore it to its messy bun. “What's wrong with you?” She frowned up at Hunter. Hunter shook his head quickly and took another step back. “You... You go ahead. I'll... I'll wait in the car.” “Nonsense!” She was wearing her beautiful smile, clueless of what was going on in Hunter's head this moment. “You know what I should order.” Hunter looked away; he didn't want her realizing that there was in fact something wrong because then she'd pester him to tell her.
16h30. Hunter turned away from Rebecca as the flashbacks of their twenty minutes of passionate sex kept tugging at his brain. They had two rounds and he couldn't remember which one felt the best. Now she was next to him, sleeping from exhaustion. Oh how she quivered once he's lips touched her clitoral hood. And when he licked her vulvar, she almost pulled away from the pleasure but he held onto her hips and kept her bum pinned to the sheets. As he ate her up, giving her a good four minutes before kissing her navel and creating a trail of wet kisses to her breast bone. He then sucked on her nipple and penetrated her. She moaned and grabbed his hair, pulling him closer to her. Five minutes later she was screaming: “Fuck... I'm gonna cum!” He didn't care to hush her, he was on cloud nine himself, drawing closer and closer to his finish. He grabbed her throat and went harder and harder until she wrapped her legs around him so tight. “Shit, I came...” She said breathlessly near his ear.
Thirty minutes earlier... Rob Holland leaned back in his office chair and clasped his hands on top of his chest. “I don't know, it looks like they're giving me more time but the fact that they hadn't said anything to me about more time makes it dangerous. We don't know what they are plotting.”“I told you from the very begining, taking a loan from those guys was a bad decision.” Julia, his secretary who was sitting opposite him, said. She was a petite woman with very fare skin and dark charcoal straight hair that ended just above her shoulders. She was fifteen years younger than her boss. “I had no choice.” Rob told her. “You saw the circumstances we were in that year. I could have lost all of this if it weren't for that loan. You know it saved Three Way Factor.”Julia gave it some thought and then nodded. “Yeah... That's true. But now we don't have money to pay them back. I mean they're talking about two million now that wasn't the deal.”“And that one million we put away is our onl
“Hunter King, you're surrounded.” A man with a black cap and dark sunglasses was speaking through a megaphone. “Let Rebecca step out of the car and once we have her I'll give you further instructions.”“Wait, is that... is that...” Rebecca squinted at the speaker and then looked over at Hunter and back. “Sylvester?” Hunter asked. “What does he want?” Rebecca quickly tried to unlock her door but it was locked. “Woaw, wait.” Hunter told her quickly. “It's just Sylvester. I want to know what the hell he thinks his doing.” She responded. “Hunter King let the Sparrow step out of the car.” Sylvester repeated. He had one hand aiming at Hunter and the other holding the speaker to his mouth. “'The Sparrow'?” She was clearly offended. “Is that some code-word nickname for me?” Hunter nodded. “Why? Why Sparrow?” She looked more interested in the answer instead of why they had been stopped at the center of a four-way stop. “Is it because they think I talk too much?” “Rebecca, sparrows don'
"Rebecca?" Elizabeth asked. "Are you okay?" Hunter asked her. She looked mortified but managed to nodd her head. Sylvester took a few steps back and then was caught before he fell backwards. "Sir, are you okay?" One of his men asked him. Sylvester grunted. "I... am shot." He dropped the gun to the floor. The wound was on his left upper arm and was bleeding profusely. Rebecca's palms flung to cover her mouth as she watched the guards rush to provide Sylvester with medical attention. "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to..." Rebecca was shaking. Hunter came to hug her. "It's okay, you didn't pull the trigger, he did." "But still—" "Let's get out of here." Hunter placed an arm around her and they quickely made for the gate. "Rebecca!" Elizabeth was crying behind them. "Get in, get in." Hunter opened the car door for her and then shut it. He could see cars approaching in high speed. "Shit..." There was only one way out of here, and it was the same way the cars were coming, the othe
Sylvester took out his phone and phoned Angelo. It rang and rang. Sylvester thought it would go to voicemail but then he picked up."Hello?" It was a female."Who is this?""You called me, who are you?""I got this number from the card at the reception. Is this not Angelo's gym?""This is Better Life Gym." She responded."Exactly." Sylvester said. "Can you get Angelo on the phone.""I don't know who that is, sir.""Cut the crap lady. I was there yesterday with Rob Holland, the billionaire. Remember me? And then we went down to basement to Angelo. Can you just pass him the phone.""Would you like to know about our membership packages?""Tell Angelo it's about Hunter King."The lady stayed quiet for a while and then sighed. "Hold on."Music started playing on the other side of the line."Shit..." Sylvester said in annoyance. He watched the guards dragging Hunter to the side building."Hello?" At last it was Angelo."It's Sylvester, head of security for Rob Holland and—""Get to the poin
"I guess there's no talking you out of this?" Joe asked. "Like she said, you're so damn stubborn. Really. Gosh!"They were sitting on the edge of bonnet of Fred's car.Hunter looked off into the pitch dark forest. "I don't have a choice, Joe." He whispered. "Look how we're living. Doing this gets all of you immunity.""Maybe there's another way." He placed a hand on Hunter's shoulder."What way?"Joe stared back at him desperately, the desperation was reflected back. "Uh... I don't know."Hunter's face fell and he looked the other way."But we can work something out together. Let's just tell your dad and I am sure he will work something out.""If he had a sollution, we wouldn't have spent almost a week in this cabin. The guy's been in hiding himself for how many years? From the very same person. It's hopeless Joe.""No—""This is the only way.""Getting yourself killed, really? That's the best you could come up with?" Joe scracthed his head roughly. "Maybe we can get money. Like milli
Hunter laid topless on their bed, facing the ceiling. He and Rebecca had just made love and she was now sleeping on top of his chest. "What are you thinking about?" She asked him. He smiled. "Nothing." "You sure?" She looked up at him. "Not thinking about 'sending me back to the palace'?" He frowned and then looked at her. "You were eavesdropping?" "I didn't intent to, but the walls of this cabin aren't that thick. I can hear George snoring right now." "Sorry if it sounded rough." He responded. "Sorry if it looks like I'm getting tired of always being locked up." Hunter scoffed. "Are you being sarcastic?" "Do you remember what you told me while we were still at the warehouse?" "What?" "You said that when everything was over, we'd live a normal life. That you'd stop that work and we'd be together like normal people." "Yeah..." "Well, you left your work, but I just want to know when we will be able to live like normal people again." Hunter sighed. "As soon as your dad pay
"We're not stabbing that man in the back." Rob said as he entered the passenger side of his all black SUV."You know, I don't get it, sir." Sylvester responded. "You're gonna keep choosing Hunter, even if it's over your daughter?" "I am not choosing him over Rebecca, I am trying to protect them both." Rob stood his ground. "Protecting him is not gonna get us far, sir."Rob thought for a few seconds and then responded. "I am not leaving him out to dry. He doesn't deserve it.""He's the reason we're in this mess in the first place. He kidnapped miss Rebecca." Sylvester started the car. "With all due respect, I think you're forgetting that.""You know, you keep saying 'with all due respect' but don't seem to be giving me any. I said we are not turning on Hunter and you should respect that.""My job is to protect your family. I wake up every morning and devote my life to you and your family, sir."Rob sighed and then pinched the space between his eyes and lowered his head. "I know, I kn
"Don't ever look for me because you will never find me. Take care of yours and I will take care of mine. Bye forever." That was the note that had come with the baby.Although George didn't understand the second sentence, he placed the note on their coffee table and took the wailing baby out of Stella's hands. It was his first time carrying a baby, and he feared holding him too tight or not holding him firm enough and drop him. As he tried to craddle the baby, his heart pounded. The baby had light brown skin and not much head hair. His mouth was pink and his wails were woarse."Shh shhh..." George tried walking around the room trying to sooth it. "Is it a boy or a girl?" He asked his mother."It's a boy." George looked at the baby's face and fell in love. "But how could she just leave you like that, little guy?" He asked."Because she's crazy that's why." Stella responded. "She knows you're studying full time and I am working full time. How are we gonna take care
Nathan had his forearms on the bar. "What can I get for you?" Bella said, bringing her arms to the counter, leaving just a small gap between their faces. "Bring me whatever you gonna have." Nathan gave her a smirk and handed her the money. She gave him a flirtatious smile and went away to get him something. When she came back she passed him their strongest whiskey. "Is that all you got for yourself?" He asked her. She raised the shot she had in her other hand. "Unfortunately, I'm on the clock. Cheers." She then drank up and was about to walk away but he grabbed her arm over the counter. "I just have a question." He said. "The girl that was working here before you, Rhita. Do you know where I can find her?" "Stop flirting with the customers and move on, Bella." Her boss yelled from the other side. She rolled her eyes at him. "I am not flirting with nobody!" She yelled back and then turned to Nathan as he let her hand go. "You just said she worked here before me. Don't
"It's almost 3 days since that little imbecile screwed us over, finding him can't be that fucking hard." Angelo was addressing Nathan and Sean. "The guy is a ghost, man, no social media, no family we can link him to, no girlfriend, well he took his girlfriend with him..." Nathan responded. "And friends..." Sean added. "Exactly. We can't track his phone because it's not on." Nathan shrugged. "What about his friends' phones?" Angelo enquired. "Joe's phone has been off too. They obviously ditched their phones." Sean said. "And the gay one?" Angelo asked. Nathan and Sean exchanged looks. "We don't have her number, bro." Sean replied. "Yeah." Nathan agreed. Angelo's top lip curved upwards. "You don't have her number? So that's why we don't find Hunter, that's why we just let it go and move on?" "How else are we gonna track her without knowing her number?" Sean asked. Angelo flung the back of his hand against Sean's jaw. Sean tumbled backwards and fell on top of Angelo's glass t
After sitting in silence, Walker began getting up. "You know, you would think that after all these years, talking about this would be easy but..." Hunter watched him slide his hands in his pockets and face away. Hunter didn't pressure him, he sat there waiting for Walker to continue the story. A few seconds later, "My mom convinced me that the best thing to do was to run away. To go live with my aunt in another town until the company considered my request to pay for my accomodation at the student residence." Walker took a long pause. "And I did. I was a scared boy who had just managed to get into his dream school, studying his dream career. "So you did the one thing Delilah said you'd do?" "Although we dated for about 5 years before that, I knew that in the eyes of the law, she was still a minor and I could get locked up if her father reported me. So I left. I didn't tell her anything. I just disappeared. "Living at the student accomodation, was all a 20 year old could ask for.
