Before I could think of leaving the building in his absence, I met him sitting on one of his grey couch with his fingers busy on his laptop. " I..." I stammered, holding my purse tight. " You don't have to worry about Mrs Johnson, she's aware that you are with me. " " Thanks about last night, and... for accommodating me in your house. " " It's okay, " just like that? " I can drive you back to the camp if you want, or I can have my driver do that instead. " " I... will prefer your driver to do it. " He picked his phone from beside, dialling a number. " Meet me in my office, " he said to the receiver. " Yess, boss. " I heard the receiver say. He dropped the phone back in the couch, " please make yourself comfortable. " " Oh, " realizing myself, I sat on one of the chairs, checking on my phone to see if there were missed calls from Lina or Jessy. I can't believe I was staring at nothing. No one cared to call or cared checking on me? My eyes rose at his direction, as I silently
For the past one week, the rain hasn't cease from falling. Dad and mom on the other side has postponed their arrival for some urgent matter. Since the case of meeting Mrs Johnson started, Dad barely called me, even if he did in his once in a blue moon attitude, we never have something serious to talk about. I know dad is only trying to protect me but, he doesn't want to accept the fact that I ain't a kid anymore. I even made up my mind to skip going to the Ford company this week. Mrs Johnson won't buy the idea of sending someone else in my place. Not that I'm stressed out or anything... I just don't feel like going anywhere. Maybe, I'm just running away from facing the one who gets my heart beating each time I was with him. But that was still not convincing to Mrs Johnson. " Ma'am, " I told her. " I suggest Lydia should go instead. " " I would have love that but, it's improper to have started this contract with you going on behalf of the organization and end up having someone e
~ Mrs Johnson POV ~ "Hello Mr Agent" I greeted Agent (Ashley's father). "Hello Mrs Johnson, how are you doing?" "I'm fine, how is the research going?" "Great. How is Ashley doing?" "She's fine, she's busy with Mr Hale our cars producer, the one I told you about" I replied and quickly glance at Loran and Ashley to see if any of them is learning to my conversation but it seems they ate both busy with wherever they are both discussing "what about that hunt Agent?" "I'll be there in Chicago with you soon to hunt down those ugly creatures, we will thwart them from killing more lives by killing them first" "Yeah you are right. What do you called the name of pack again?" "You forget things easily Mrs Johnson, I can't believe you can forget the park's name. Anyway, it's Poldark pack" "I'm so sorry I had to forget, I'll put it in mind now and cross my mind so I won't forget again" I said and we both laughed. "A bigger hunt is coming just wait for us Poldark pack" "Yeah they shou
~ Ashley POV ~What just happen right now??? Mr Hale just change without any reason or do I did something wrong?? Maybe I shouldn't have asked him that question, or...."Miss Agent, are you okay???" Mrs Johnson's voice brought me back from my thought land." Yeah, of course I am" I replied her nervously."Okay if you say so. Where's Mr Hale???" She asked as soon as she noticed he wasn't in her office anymore."He just left in a hurry few minutes ago, I don't know why though""Do you ask him why he was in a hurry??""Yeah he said that he have an emergency""Okay then you can go" "Alright Mrs Johnson""And again, your parents will be here in two days time. ""Alright but they are not coming here for me though" I told her a little bit hurt."Come on Ashley, you'll have them all to yourself after the hunt trust me. " she assured me. I became happy after hearing that, she's right after all.I smiled at her." Thank you Mrs Johnson. I can't wait to see them. I miss them so much. ""Its
~ Ashley POV ~Mrs Johnson and I rushed to Beacon's medical unit, the hospital where they took dad to with teary face, at that moment, I didn't get myself anymore, I just want to see dad and know his state.When we got to the hospital, we rushed to the nurse behind the counter"Excuse me nurse, we are looking for a man, his name is Mr Agent" Mrs Johnson questioned the nurse in a hurry"Oh you mean the man that was attacked by the wolves???" The nurse asked us"Yes, yes please" I replied her"Who are you to him?!?""He is my father" I replied."And he is my friend" Mrs Johnson also said."Okay then, he is in ward 2, in the third floor, you'll see a signboard which shows the way to the VIP room, just go to the VIP area and the second room is Mr Agent's room" the nurse described"What of my mom??" I questioned her so softly"Who is your mother???""Mrs Agent""I'm sorry but she didn't made it" she said a hint of pity in her voice."What???" Mrs Johnson trembled while I was shivering with
I opened my eyes, but decided not to make a move. I could hear what dad and Mrs Johnson was saying and it's still like a bomb in my ear that he... The one person I love has turned to be my enemy.I sniffed, loud enough that I was pretty sure they both heard it.Dad rushed to my side, touching my hands. " Ashley, I'm sorry you have to hear this the hard way. No one expected it to be this way. " He looked at Mrs Johnson, sighing. " She told me everything about you and Mr Hale, I'm really sorry for that too. "" Are you sure... It's Mr Hale that killed mother? " I asked, to be sure.I want to be clarified better, I want him to reverse his statement and say, he had only made a mistake.But he didn't... " Yes, it's him. "I nodded in anger. Putting the love aside, someone has to pay for what he did.Someone must pay for murdering the woman I love.**Emma escorted me to my room, not too surprised that the news had already been spread around the camp.Lina, Jessy and Vivian were already wa
Loreen ✓I sat frustrated as I thought of what next to do. Now that the hunters are after my pack and I, nothing seems to be alright.I have to convince Ashley that it wasn't I who murdered her mother. Not after what we've shared, why will I think of hurting her?Convincing her doesn't seem to be the problem... The problem is.. will she listen to me?I'm as good as innocent and now, I have to pay for the shit someone just created." What's our next plan? " Mike asked me, feeling as bothered as I am." I don't know. I can't keep running away from the hunters, it will only make me look like a coward. "" So, what are we gonna do? "" I say we wait for them to attack. " I finalize.Sighs...*The night surfaced quicker, just as the hunters expected. Linda with some girls were sent to Mr Hale's mansion but unfortunately, he was nowhere to be found.Only the servants were seen. Linda had to call Mrs Johnson, informing her that Mr Hale wasn't in his home.Mrs Johnson asked them to return to
~ Ashley POV. ~A part of me kept on telling me that Loreen is innocent and I don't wanna believe but now I am forced to believe himI know that he won't hurt me intensionally and that alone made me love him more"So when are we going to make a plan to bring Victor down???" Loreen asked me"I'll find a way for us to sit and plan but right now, I need some people to have a discussion with"I turned back to leave, I had to confused dad and Mrs Johnson that Loreen is innocent"Hey" Loreen called me backI turned back to look at him, he surprised me by pulling me in a tight embrace"You don't know how glad I am that you believe me. I'm like the most happiest being on earth right now"I smiled "yeah right" and disengaged from the hug and for the very first time Loreen smiled at me, like a very big smile"Do you just smile Loreen"He turned his face away timidly"Don't tell me that you are shy now""Of course I'm not" I shook my head and quickly left him" I have to go, " I said dryly and h
