“What?!” I respond to him in panic.
“I said that the Lieutenant is..” He begins and I interrupt him.“No, James! I heard you the first time!” I say to him and he closes his mouth, making a small sound.This is not good. This is definitely not good!“What is he doing here?” I ask James.This couldn’t be a much worse time. I can’t even move if I wanted to. Which means that the Lieutenant could literally just walk up in here and handcuff me.“I believe he came to talk to Robert.” James replies.“Is he alone?” I inquire.I desire to know as much as possible.“He is not. Another guy is with him.” He says and I gulp. My breathing has quickened again and I am trying my best to calm down.“Where is Robert?” I ask and James scratches behind his neck.“He’s uh..he’s not here.” He says and I swear if I could move my body, I would have broken a vase on the floor out of frustration.“Wher“Okay, let’s go buddy.” I say to him as he drags his body from the car and stands to his feet once he is out.“Whoopsie..” He says when he almost tilts over and falls. I grab him by his shoulder and I place his arm over me.“I love you so much, James..you help me a lot.” He slurs his words and I sigh.“Be careful with where you step.” I say to him with a smile as I lead him to the back door.Now I can could sneak him into the house from the back here, but I would still have to pass by the Lieutenant in some way for me to be able to take Robert up the stairs and into the guest room.“We are going in now, buddy. Remember..shhh.” I tell him and he chuckles like a two year old.When we reach the back door, I meet Carlos and he helps us by opening the door for us to walk in.“Are they still there?” I inquire from him and he nods. I am referring to the Lieutenant and his companion. I lead Robert in and the stench of
“Shhhh.” I try to keep her calm but she drops the phone on the floor the instance her eyes see the bloody state it is in.She finally stops yelling and she begins hyperventilating.“That’s..that’s blood.” She says as she try not to look at the bloody phone on the floor.“Come with me.” I tell her and I lead her into Robert’s room.She sees Jen laying on the bed, but she focuses back on me.“I can explain.” I say to her as I glance at Jen for a minute.“Explain what? That you had a phone covered with dried human blood?!” She says loudly as she runs her hand through her hair.“Where is Robert? Is he okay?” She asks, worry replacing her panic.I fight the urge to roll my eyes. I have worked for these people for years, is she really trying to say that I could killed Robert?“Robert is fine, he is in the guest room.”I inform her and she begins to take deep breaths to calm herself.***Jen’s POV*
Chad stands and watches me with a pained expression for a few seconds before he speaks.“You want me gone, fine.” He says calmly.“But just know that by tomorrow, I would be on my way to London, with or without you.” He adds.I don’t respond to him, I just stare at the ceiling as tears threaten to spill from my eyes.I start to hear receding footsteps and then finally, I hear the door open and close.He is now gone.The tears I was holding finally releases as if I was holding a dam shut. I sob so much that I eventually fall asleep.The morning comes with an annoying headache. I guess that’s what you get for crying yourself to sleep.A hear a sound as if something falls to the ground and I open my eyes. I stretch and yawn freely without restriction before I finally realize that I am no longer paralyzed!I sit down I instantly on the bed and I see where the sound was coming from. Robert is trying to pick
The passion between both of us causes me to bite his shoulder and it makes him go crazy.“Do you want me to fill you up?” He asks in between frantic gasps.“Yes, Robert. I want to feel every inch of you.” I say hotly in his ear.He sounds completely different as he speaks from a place of lust.He inserts himself in me and I bite my lower lip as he goes deeper. I have never felt so good in my life!Robert closes his eyes in bliss as he enters me. His hips then begins to move like art as he thrusts into me. After a very satisfying experience with him, he falls next to me when we have both reached our peaks.His chest heaves up and down as beads of sweat covers his forehead. His cheeks are flustered and he looks beyond relaxed.“Damn.” He says as he breathes heavily.“You are a goddess.” He says as he delivers a small peck on my forehead.“I could do this all day.” He adds and I can’t help but s
His words echoes in my mind.I can assure him that I am not going to die. The only person that might if I lay my hands on her is Naomi.“I won’t.” I reply to him as I watch him reach for his suitcases.“Let me help you.” I tell him and he shakes his head as to say no.“It’s okay, Jen. James would help. I really don’t want to see you as I leave, it would make me feel emotional.” He says and I chuckle.He seems like a rock but also like a giant teddy bear.In a few minutes, James join us and he escorts Chad out of the house along with his things.I don’t follow them because I too might get emotional watching him leave.“Good morning, ma’am.” I hear a voice that startles me. Chad’s cologne scent if still in the living room and I was just basking in it. I will truly miss him.I just have to complete this job and I would be off to London to join him. Retiring sounds like such a strange plan, especi
“What do you mean by no?” I ask him and he takes some toast from on the plate and eats it nonchalantly.“I have dealt with more complicated targets.” I inform Robert and he nods.“I’m sure you have, but the Lieutenant is quite different.” He replies to me when he has swallowed his food.“Different how so? He’s a human just like every other target I have eliminated.” I tell him as I reach for the pitcher of orange juice and I pour some into my glass.“And how much is the reward money?” He asks me and I reply, “One billion dollars.”I drink from the glass that I have poured the orange juice in and it refreshes me. Everything that is on this table is so good and well prepared.“Why do you think it’s that much?” He asks and he drums his fingers on the dinning room table.The table is made of expensive wood.“Because others have tried and failed. Over and over.” He answers his own question for me.I sigh as
“Well, you wouldn’t be doing the killing, but okay.” I say to him as we enter the house.He lets go of my hand and I walk towards the living room. “Do you have a laptop?” I ask Robert and he rolls his eyes.“Come on now, how can one be a CEO without a laptop?” He replies and I chuckle.He then leaves and goes to his room to retrieve his laptop.What I need to do is quite simple. I am not going to use any fancy methods to try to capture and kill the Lieutenant. I just need to lure him somewhere alone and I can simply inject him with a lethal drug. And this time, no mistakes.But how can I lure him where I want to without he coming with a legion of his men?“Here is it.” Robert’s voice snaps me from my thoughts as he walks towards me. When he reaches me, he hands me the laptop and it seems very new.He notices the look I have on my face and he says, “I don’t use it much, I have another one at
Robert plan is to invite the Lieutenant here, to his house for a meeting. We all know how bad the Lieutenant wanted that grant from Robert’s company before; so bad that he was actually willing to let me go after he had finally caught me.“How do you know if it would work this time?” I ask Robert and he smiles.“It’s going to be a sizable donation, baby. One that he would not resist.” He says confidently.“Okay, then ring him up.” I tell him.This may be a good plan, but people are unpredictable. The last time the Lieutenant accepted that grant was because his department really needed it.They had retired all their resources on a case that got them no where, so it was a major lost.“Sure.” Robert says as he takes his phone from his jeans pocket. He clicks on the screen a number of times and then the phone begins to make a call.“Fingers crossed.” I say and he glances at me seriously.He seems nervous but at
My eyes widen and I immediately try to open the door of the moving car so I can jump out but all the doors are locked. Adrenaline floods every part of my body, it is like it is all happening so fast and I have no control.“What are you doing? Stop that! Do you want to get yourself killed?” Russell shouts as Usman increases the speed of the car so jumping out would seem more painful to me if I decide to do so.“Stay the hell away from me!” I reply to him aggressively when he tries to reach out to me and he raises his hands in surrender.“Okay, okay,” He says and then he settles back into his seat.“What the hell is going on?” I ask after a full minute of silence. I am much calmer right now, I was acting out of instinct when I realized that the person that was sitting next to the driver was Russell.How is that even possible? Was he not in an induced coma a few days ago? “Are you finished with trying to jump out of a speeding car just to avoid me?” Russell replies to me and I hear Usma
“Natalie is smart, I will give her that. She had all the video evidence cleared before we could get our hands on it,” Taylor explains and I at everything else in the room but her.“May I ask, who are you professionally?” I ask her, and she smiles lopsidedly.“I work with the police department in Russia, I am the police chief,” She informs me and I nod slowly. “As I was saying, Natalie made the investigation a lot more difficult for us. Her skills in covering evidence are impressive, but I believe that she got some inside help,” Taylor continues what she was explaining.“And?” I beckon her to explain more. If Natalie covered up our tracks so well, how does she know that Natalie did it? That she was the one that pulled the trigger and not me.“I know you want to know how I know that she was the one who pulled the trigger, and I am going to explain just that to you,” Taylor tells me.“Okay,” I drag the word as I wait for her to tell me what she knows.“I am Russell’s third wife and it h
What in the world is happening? Why am I even being arrested? Even if this is about Russell Marshall’s investigation, the person they should be arresting is Natalie, I was not the one that shot the man in the head.“This has to be a joke, right?” Chad laughs but when he sees that the military guys are not even smiling, he realizes that this is serious.I gave the piece of document that they handed to me, I read it quickly and it authorizes them to arrest me, but what I don’t see is the charge.“Your hands, please,” One of the military guards says a bit softly and I do as he says. I place my hands behind my head and I hear Chad scoff.“Do you want us to do something?” The guards that we have at the entrance ask me but I disagree by wagging my head. It would only make things worse, from experience, going peacefully with the authorities is always the best thing to do.“I am calling Robert, and then the lawyer. We would get this settled in no time,” Chad tries to comfort me as he makes a
Yes, we certainly need to talk. I put Jake down from my arms and he protests that he wants to tell me secretly. James, Natalie, and Cara watch my exchange with him with smiles on their faces.“Okay, what is it?” I ask him as he gets close to my ear.“I love you,” He whispers in my ear and I can not help but smile. Some people say having kids is a nightmare, and the truth is that it is at times, but most of the time, it is the greatest joy anyone could have.“Mommy heats you right back,” I reply to him in a whisper, and he giggles before he runs onto James.I stand upright and I bid James and Jake goodbye as I join Natalie and Cara in the living room.“We have a serious hiccup in our plans,” Cara begins when we have all sat down on the couch.“I know,” I reply to her, and Natalie chuckles but I can hear the worry in her voice.“Of course you do, it is all over the news,” She tells me and I stay quiet, not knowing exactly what to say.“So what are doing?” Cara asks no one in particular
“What do you mean that he’s alive?” I ask Robert as he stands to his feet, he looks worried but that is in no way compared to how I feel right now. Gosh, does Natalie know this? I need more information.“Which news channel did you learn that from?” I fire another question at Robert, not giving him the chance to answer the first. “Here, take a look, it is all over social media, and all the big news broadcasters are airing it,” Robert says as he hands his phone to me. The last time I held it was when I found out that he was partially cheating on me.I can not say that he was actually cheating because he did not sleep with Amanda, but he did receive nudes from her and whatnot. In my book, that is cheating, but I am just going to call it partially cheating in light of what Robert and Amanda explained to me.But that is not the issue at hand right now, we have a huge freaking problem. I need to get dressed and let Natalie and Cara know what has happened.I take the phone from Robert and I
Some might say that we are moving a bit too fast, but I have known Robert for close to a year now. Still, it seems like such a limited amount of time to decide to spend your entire life with someone, but why wait any longer?Robert and I have had our fair share of storms and problems, but we have weathered everyone one of them, plus we have a great support system. Chad, James, Carlos, and Jake are sure to be there for us if we happen to begin to feel the storms of life raging again, and of course, we will.The amount of crazy that I have been through individually is insane, my entire life has been far from normal and I am starting to stop wanting normal. Besides, normal is a bit overrated. Marrying someone you have known for only almost a year is not very expected, or should I say, normal? But that is the thing, I am not normal and do not even want to be anymore.“Well?” Robert asks me as I drag my body off the unmade bed. He suggested that we should get married next week after I ment
I can not believe that this just happened, Robert proposed to me! This is amazing and I feel so good, but I also feel like this is too good and I don’t deserve it. But I am just going to sum that up as insecurity trying to present itself in the form of me not being worth it enough to get proposed to.After I said yes, I think Jake was more excited than everyone else. Chad and the others came out soon after and I have a strong feeling that they somehow knew that Robert was going to propose. Robert placed a very expensive ring on my finger and he rose from his kneeling, I placed Jake in the chair where I was sitting and Robert and I embraced. We then shared a kiss and everyone joined Jake as he clapped. As soon as the applause died, the rain ceased gradually and the sun began to shine through the dark clouds. It seemed too perfect that I literally had to pinch myself two times to make sure that I was not dreaming. Good thing I was not, because I would have been so mad at myself.We e
It is usually sunny here, but today is different, and besides, it is a Saturday. I think the weather chose the best time to be like this, I don’t have to drive Jake to school and I get to spend the entire day with him.Yesterday was so eventful, I had to explain all that happened to me in Russia to Robert, James, Carlos, and Chad about three times before they finally could grasp it all. I also had the responsibility of explaining why I have suddenly decided to trust and forgive someone that caused me so much trauma, Cara was quiet when I took my time to make them all understand that I have finally decided to bury the hatchet concerning what she did.I am not going to pretend like I don’t feel a stab of emotional pain when I look at her, but I am going to try my best to move on. I am currently sitting on the porch alone while listening to the beating of the rain on the ground and roof, it is very soothing and I have never felt so relaxed in my life. Everybody else is in the house and
I open the door of the house and I walk in as Cara follows behind me slowly and tentatively. We are out of Russia and in Cyprus, though only Cara came along. Natalie took a later flight because she wanted to come with Susan, her grandmother.It took us a couple of hours to fly from Russia to Cyprus, especially because I did not have my passport on me. Cara had to pull some strings and call in some favors at airport security, and to my pleasant surprise, it all worked out smoothly.“Are you sure that they would want to see me?” I hear Cara’s voice as we walk further into the house. Everything looks pretty much the same, but I don’t see anyone here. “Where is everyone?” I say to myself in a low tone as I continue to explore the house.Suddenly I hear heavy footsteps and I look toward the source, someone is walking down the stairs. As soon as the person's eyes meet mine, they stop in their tracks.“Whoa, am I tripping, or am I seeing Jen Davis?” Chad asks me and he continues his descent
