Cassy POV
"Enjoy the party Cassy"Christopher welcome me warmly
I can't believe he invited me.....I really don't want to be here but since he invited Max and am he's personal assistant it's kinda necessary I should come
But I don't want Max to see me...not after what happened at the beach
I've been avoiding him lately.... not him but Penny
That girl is so weird!
I heard she fired 5 employees last month cause they made advances towards Max....well my only luck is my mum
She can't possibly do that to me...my mum would be heart broken
I found my way to the mini bar requesting a bottle of vodka
"Thanks"I sipped the content of the drink
"Hey there pretty"a brute approached me smiling
Eish!
Am really not in the mood for this...
I spared him a glance diverting my attention back to the party
"Hey"
"What!?"I snapped
"Was just trying to gain your attention...hope I didn't get you mad pretty"I rolled my eyes ignoring
"Yunno_"his statement was cut short by a frantic scream
The idoit diverted his attention to that rushing to see what happened
That's Penny
She held Tina In her who I think got shot... just then Liam came in swooping Tina... Max and Penny also followed him outside
Wow!
I wonder what happened?...oh well
Looks like the party is over... little by little people dispersed... don't need anyone to tell me to leave
I grabbed my pursue headed for my car
I got in driving staright home... later that night I had a long bath
I slumped on the couch turning on the TV
I tied the knot of my nightie about going to bed when I heard strange noises from outside
I grabbed my torch light walking cautiously...I heard someone grunt..
"Who's there!?"I asked nervously still no reply
"Who's that!?"no reply...I summoned courage taking further steps
I starined my eye to see a body lying on the ground....I gasped in shock thinking he or she is dead
I grabbed a piece of stick using it to touch the person...the body stirred a little...it's James?
What's he doing here?...I hesitanted for a while before dragging the him it my penthouse
I cleaned up his woods and then bandaged it pretty nicely...2 hours later he regained consciousness.... he blinked his eyes rapidly waking up
"Hey James are you okay?"I asked placing my hand on his left arm
"C... Cassy"he called weakly
"Glad to see you remember me"
"You saved me thanks..I _"he was cut short by the broadcaster on tv
"I'll turn it off"
🎤 Breaking news:Human trafficker and dangerous crimal James Hudson just escaped from the Miami Police Station once more.. the police department has placed a reward for who so ever has a lead on where he's hiding...he's escaped t_🎤 a bullet was shot at the tv
I turned around in horror to see James aiming a gun at me
He smirked wickedly....
"J...j....j.. james"
Oh my gosh!
I have to think of something before this physcopath ends my life
"Yes Cassandra"he took a step forward
"Am sorry Cassy but you can't live... cause yunno"he grinned about pulling the trigger
"Wa...wait!...l..look james you don't have to do this...I can be of some assistance to you..."
"How?"
"W..well I know you love Penny and guess what I also love Max...s....so you see ...we can work something out"he stopped on his track thinking
"I can also be useful in so many ways"I took a step forward placing my hand on his chest...he smiled boardly getting the signal
"The night is still young yunno...let's have some fun"
Max POV
"Sweetheart have you seen my phone ?....."I asked still opening the door to the room... Penny sat on the bed looking worried
"Babe what wrong?" I sat next to her cupping her hands in mine
"Are you sick or something?" I placed my palm on her forehead
"Pen_"
"My dad texted me saying he wants to speak with me" her voice cracked a little as she spoke
"Wants to speak with you? ... about what exactly?"
She handed her phone...she gestured me to read the text📲Come to crescents avene by 9:00 pm if you want to know the answer to this question...why do I hate you?📲
I felt anger surging through me... is this dude serious?
"We should report this to the cops" I said getting on my feet
"No Max!" she got hold of my arm
"But Penny we can finally get Justin for you and your sister...and am pretty sure he's also behind what happened to Tina"
"But Max...I...if I go I can finally know the reason why behind his hatred towards me..."
"Penny what if it's a trap or?..."
"I know Max.. but_"
"No buts Penelope... you're not going...I don't want you getting hurt" I said stroking her cheeks...she looked at me with teary eyes
"I'll be back ...okay...stay put and don't go anywhere"
"O...okay" she nodded her head...I pecked her once more headed downstairs...it's been long I checked up on my mum.....wonder how she's faring?
After speaking with her through the phone...I stared at the text once more
He's a really idoit if he thinks Penny would come ...not to worry Oliver...you'll soon rot in jail like James
I chuckled lighty opening the door to our room..the smile on my face died down immediately I saw the room empty!
Okay...this can't be what am thinking...it's can't be!
Penny would never go...oh gawd!
"Penny!" I yelled hoping to hear her respond... "Penny "I opened the bathroom...no sign of her
The wind blew through the window.... oh my gawd
She went!
Fûck this isn't good...she went alone...
Why is this girl so stubborn !?I thought praying sliently for her to be okay as I drove on the empty street
The drive to creasent avenue took 19 minutes....I alighted from the car In a haste ...I walked near the water fountain to see Penny standing with her father smiling
"Penny !"I rushed to her direction grabbing hold of her arm
"Are you okay?...did he hurt you?... Penny!....speak to me!"she looked lost in thought
"You bàstard!...what did you do to her?!?"I rasped ...I marched to his direction about to grab hold of his neck when Penny pulled me back
He grinned lightly... staring at me the her
"Good night daughter"he walked away gingerly
"Penny what's wrong?...why did you stop me?"she looked at me with teary eyes
"Max let's go home...he's not to blame... he's not the villain here"
Penny POV Earlier.... I wore my hoodie cap properly before jumping down the window...I know what Max wants is my safety....he would never let me go to see my dad... but I just have to go For 10 good years this question has always been on my mind...I've had sleepless nights cause of this ...I ain't gonna let this opportunity slip by me I just pray Max won't get upset...I thought walking hastily down the empty street I sat on a bench next to the water fountain... running my eyes through the park hoping to see my dad "Looking for someone ?"I heard him snarled behind me ...I turned abruptly to see him grinning with his hands tucked in his trousers pocket...I felt uncomfortable all of a sudden...maybe it was a bad idea coming here... but it's too late to step back now... "Am here as you asked... now tell me what I wanna here" my voice cracked a bit "Why are you in a haste?... it's still early" "Just fûcking tel
Tina POV 6 days later...... "You ready sugar lips?"Liam asked stuffing his clothes in to his travelling bag "Yeah..."I muttered "Are you okay ?"he got hold of my hand "Yeah I am...it's just that... can't we stay a little bit longer?"I pouted "Babe you of all people know we can't.....I've gotten a lead that James and Oliver ain't in Miami...so we need to go back to California"he explained sweetly "Okay....hey have you heard from Max?"i sat down on the bed "Not really... anything the matter?" "No....it's just that ....well" "What?"he sat on the bed next to me "Well it's just that.... I called Penny last night and well she sounded kinda odd" "Odd?"he questioned "Yeah...she sounded really sad....and when I asked of Max... she refused to say a word....I think she's having issues with him" "You sure about that?..... Max would have told you about it right....but now that I think
Penny POV It's been 6 days since I and Max had a misunderstanding I dragged my body to the bathroom...I stayed under the shower with the water running down my body mixed with my tears Am such a fool!....I should have never argued with him I tried calling him but he's not picking up the call.... he's not even replying to my messages I've been feeling kinda strange since the last 3 days...I'll go for check up before I pay Max a visit ..I miss him so much...he's joviality,he's smile and that cheeky laughter I miss him so much....I need to apologise He once told me about owning a penthouse In Miami Tina informed me that she and Liam are going back to California... they've probably arrived by now....it's already night time.....hoping to join them soon I wore a black jean with a lemon green turtle neck heading to my car... my head is aching I winced lightly * "Please wait here miss...the test results w

I slapped my forehead frustratedly trying to hard to remember..my head was bandaged nicely..I crumbled my face trying so hard to remember What happened?...how did I get here?...and mostly importantly..who am I? So many Images filled my head with unfamiliar faces A man walked in holding a tray containing breakfast Who the heck is he?.....I sat at the edge of the bed staring at the mable floor "Max you're awake" Max...huh?.. so that's my name "How are you doing ?"he asked placing the tray on the table "Guess am fine " "You sure?... how's your head?... it's been a week since you lost consciousness "he replied seating next to me "A week?...what happened?"
