Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 38 - The Boat Ride
THE MASKED MAN lay her on the wooden table and began to tape her whole body to it. Her mind is racing on again, "Is he planning to throw me into the lake while tied up on this table?" She asks herself as she breathes inconsistently and starts to hear the voices in her head yelling. "I think he will." "Do something, he will kill us!" With this in mind, she starts to move her body violently and starts tearing the tape using her free hand. He was not pleased with what she was doing, rage flared inside of him and strangled her in annoyance. He tried to tape her hand once more but failed. He then stood up and stepped on her chest to prevent her from moving. After that, he successfully taped both of her hands, her neck, her shoulders, then her feet, which were still immobile. He walked out for a moment, then returned with a bucket full of water and a white cloth. She stares at the bucket, then at him. She then yells, "What are you planning to do? You fucking misogynistic psychopath!" W

THE MAN felt a sudden sharp pain piercing his skin. He looks down and sees her hand holding a knife that is still lodged in his abdomen. She took advantage of his confused state and continued stabbing him in his stomach. She then hears something falling out of his pocket. She ignores it. She was about to aim for his neck, but before she could do that, he already snapped out of his daze and shouted at her. "Stop it! It’s..." He was still saying something, but the fireworks muffled his words. The next thing she knew, in one swift motion, he took and threw the knife away, and he hugged her tightly. Tears trailed down her eyes, but her face remained unmoving, unsure what emotion to show. She wasted her one chance to beat the man and escape, but does she really want to kill him? The fireworks display died down shortly after. She then shouted at him, "You lying fucking cunt!" She slaps him hard and continues pounding lightly on his chest. "I should be mad but I stabbed you. Now I'm just

SIEVE can’t help but to stare blankly, smile from ear to ear and admire the messed-up role-play Blade made for her. He sensed her burning gaze and asked in a curious tone, "Why?" "The effort you put in....is just... Wow! The mask, the fake teeth, the fake mustache...." "...Don’t forget the voice changer," he intervenes. She nods in agreement to him, then continues. "The fat suit, this setup and you’re wearing contacts." She points to his eyes, as she cried with happiness and covered her face. He removes her hand from her face and smiled back at her, enjoying how shy she was. They stared at each other for a moment. He could see the tears in the corner of her eye and kiss them, then hug her tightly. "Thank you," she mumbles under her breath as she smiles faintly. "I'm going to miss this, I wish I could keep her longer." He thought to himself. His face showed a tinge of sorrow. Meanwhile, she felt tranquil, loved and the scene was just so perfect. The light breeze of the wind, stars

THE MINUTE they reach the dock it starts to rain heavily. Blade walks fast to take shelter in the boat shed. When he looks behind him, he sees Sieve walking slowly enjoying the rain pouring on her body. He gestured her to walk faster, but she just glanced at him then stood still while looking up at the dark sky. "What is wrong with this girl? Does she want to get sick?" He thought to himself. She glanced at him again, and gestured to him to come near her. He shook his head in disagreement, she sneered at him with mockery in her eyes as if she was saying, "Weak!" Sensing her taunting gaze, he ran towards her and held her waist. The nightgown she was wearing was so soaked with rain that he could see her whole body as if she was naked. He yelled at her while staring at her pale face. "Do you want to get sick?" She did not answer his question. Instead, she responded with, "Dance with me!" She then stretches her hand for him to take, he grins and his face softens. He extended his arm to

IN THE afternoon, he asked her if she wanted to go fishing for their dinner. She enthusiastically agreed and told him that she'd catch a bigger fish than him. After 2 hours of fishing, they caught a lot of fish but let go of the small ones and competed in getting the biggest one. In the end, they ended up with two Largemouth Bass and lay them side by side. He caught the bigger Bass, and he couldn’t stop annoying her about it. "Nice try my little one, but I'm better than you in everything," he says mockingly. "Stop calling me that! My dad doesn't even call me that." She responds, clearly not enjoying his playful remarks. He moved towards her, tucked the hair behind her ear, held her chin upward, then tilted his head towards her. "Well, I'm the daddy that you can sleep with, and you are my little one that I can use and abuse." He says while playfully booping her nose. **** By six o’clock in the evening she finished cooking the sweet and sour Largemouth Bass. While eating, she felt u

BLADE stares blankly outside. He felt he had lost something important. "Something's not right," he said to himself. With a trembling hand, he took his phone out and started to enter her phone number from his memory. Before he could press the call button, he noticed an item on the passenger seat. It's her second phone. She left it in his car. His brows furrowed, sighed deeply and his grip on the steering wheel tightened. Now there's no way of contacting her. He feels frustrated and confused about why he feels that way. He stayed in the parking lot hoping that she would return. Wishing she was out there in the dark corner of the street and would write down his plate number, stalk him, and reach out to him again. * SIEVE walks to the bus terminal, ignoring the pouring rain and the withering look she's getting from the group of people seeking shelter from the rain. Shortly, she reached Willowbrook station. When she entered the vehicle that was bound for Los Angeles, the bus driver star

GEORGE personally presented the finished project to Albert, and the latter was very pleased with the outcome. After a week, he signed a partnership with Caldwell Incorporated and, as he promised, appointed Lucius Vaughn as his Managing Director, who would have an office inside Caldwell Incorporated together with his team. Everything that needs Ripley International’s approval will go through Lucius and his team. George promised the whole 15th floor to them. Soon his team moved to C.I. and they occupied the 15th floor, but there were so few of them in the team, that the floor looked like a ghost town. Soon, George added a few people from C. I to occupy the floor with them; a few employees also moved from C. I to R. I, under Lucius, since their partnership is more of a soft merging. Now, Albert owns parts of the C. I around 10%, making him a major investor, plus the partnership of their brands giving R. I, the leverage to voice anything they want. Meanwhile, C. I enjoy the R. I’s inter

She screamed while breathing in the air in the car."Money well spent," she mumbles to herself."Good work you guys," she added, but no one replied to her. “I will pay you in full once I get out of the country.” She added.Shortly after, the car stopped in a secluded area. She frowns, “Why are we here? I thought you were going to smuggle me out of the country via plane?” She asks.The driver smirked, “Well, change of plans.”

She receives a letter from her friend that states the court granted temporary access to her money."I might not be able to get away from the law, but I can surely pay someone to bust me out and get back on everyone.

He didn't even wait a year," She mumbled while replaying all the promises he had told her.

Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 213 - Their Last Conversation :(
DAYS had passed and Lucian seemed to get worse. He became overbearing, he called every hour to check on her. It is as if someone is out to get them.Latton couldn't take it anymore, but she knew too well that Lucian wouldn't tell her what it was.She needed to investigate it without raising any suspicions. She made a surprise visit to Caldwell Incorporated as it might be work-related. It's not. Caldwell Inc. was flourishing, standing stronger than ever. She witnesses on her visit how he buries himself at work while constantly checking on her."If you continue doing that you are going to get sick." She mumbled as she patted his back in concern.He smiles. "I'll be fine." He says as he kisses her hand. "Why don't you stay in the CEO's lounge? I'll finish this, and we'll have lunch together." He suggested.She nods. She could see that the dark circle in his eyes worsened, and it seemed he had lost weight over the week.She wanted to speak to him when, suddenly, someone knocked on the door
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 212 - Lucian’s Paranoia
JOHN and VIVIAN's engagement party was a success. It was even featured in a local newspaper with the caption 'A decade of love story'."An inspiring love story for everyone to read." Malena mumbles while reading through the newspaper.Then an idea entered her mind, "What if I chose to be with Lucian instead of plotting revenge against him and his family? Would I be this happy?" She asks herself while staring at Vivian's smiling image in the newspaper.She starts laughing at her own thoughts. "Of course not. I'm merely a substitute for Shirley and most likely I won't even meet him if I didn't plan everything from the start." She says, then folds the newspaper and hides it in the drawer. "This time I will make things right," she mumbles.Then she started rummaging through her computer and soon began typing on her phone.MEANWHILE, at Lucian's Villa.Lucian was still having difficulty sleeping, even with Latton in his arms, he couldn't stop having nightmares about losing her.On the other
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 211 - Underlying Problem
ALBERT'S eyes enlarged."The audacity of this cunt," Albert thought as he stared malevolently at the man in front of him.He leaned forward and held Lucian's collar."Hey!? Cut it off." The police officer nearby yelled. Albert immediately let go of Lucian.Albert scoffed," Your words are more of a declaration than asking for permission," he remarked."How sure are you that my daughter will accept your proposal?" He added while crossing his arms.Lucian nodded, "She's the one who proposed to me." He muttered proudly.Albert laughed, "She did?" He spoke in surprise, and his gaze softened momentarily. He visualizes his daughter wearing a wedding gown, but soon sorrow creeps into him. The reality that he might not have the chance to walk his daughter down the aisle entered his mind.Soon his gaze darkened when he stared at Lucian, "If that's her decision... But... If you hurt her, assure yourself I won't take this lightly." He warns.Lucian smirked, "I know what you mean, and I would never
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 210 - Stockholm Syndrome
LATTON had just finished speaking to Boris over the phone when Igor pulled up the car in front of the manor’s main entrance. He opens the door for her and soon gets into the driver’s seat. “Where to Miss?” He asks nicely, his voice sounds jovial instead of threatening. She grinned, “Aren’t you a bit gleeful today?” She uttered without looking at him. He scoffed, “Can’t I be happy?” He answered sarcastically with his thick Russian accent.She smirked. “Well, that’s more like it.” She mumbled. “I spoke to Boris today.” She paused and then glanced at Igor, observing if there were changes in his demeanor.She noticed that he gripped the stirring wheel tighter upon hearing her words.He cleared his throat, “What did the boss say?” He inquired while staring at her through the rearview mirror.She leaned comfortably on her seat and then clasped her hands on top of her knees. “Your boss told me that you insist on working for me as a driver. Why is that?” She asks curiously.He laughs, “Wha
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 209 - Like Newly Weds [R18 scene ahead]
LUCIAN wrapped his arms around Latton's waist and kissed her neck, "How about we go back to your room and exercise before I go to the office?" He whispered flirtatiously in her ear. "What if after we do our cardio you accompany me anywhere I go?" He added while nibbling her neck.She blushed, and a hot wave of lust ignited in her body. She bit her lower lip and, as if she was under his spell, all she could do was agree and nod to him.They smile lustfully at each other like two thirsty bunnies hungry for one another's touch. He kisses her gently on the lips, but he can't get enough of her addicting soft lips. From a gentle peck to a full-blown French kiss. Their lips intertwined, and they couldn't seem to stop. Eyes closed, tongues rubbing each other, both caught in an intense tongue fight, none backed down.Their hands began traveling on each other's bodies. He hurriedly unbuttoned her pajama, then the buttons started to fall on the floor, but it never bothered them. He threw her top
