His Volition Chapter 16: Lost
I sank into the cushions of my dimly lit living room, feeling the weight of the world pressing down on me like a heavy burden. My mind was a whirlwind of confusion and fear, each thought more tormenting than the last.The memories of recent days were like a haunting specter, refusing to leave me be. Carmen's rejection of my love cut deep, and the discovery of supposed incriminating evidence against me only fueled my paranoia and rage. The image of her terrified face haunted me, a stark reminder of the darkness within. He had acted impulsively, lashing out at Carmen in a fit of anger and desperation. The memory of her terrified face haunted him, a constant reminder of the darkness that lurked within him.But it was the nightmares that plagued me most.

His Volition Chapter 17: Two Truth And A Lie
As I arrived at the local bar to meet the escort, I couldn't shake the nervous energy coursing through me. The dimly lit ambiance of the place felt both comforting and intimidating, amplifying my apprehension about the encounter.Spotting a familiar face at the bar, I made my way over, my heart pounding in my chest. There she was, the escort named Lily, sitting elegantly with a glass of whiskey in hand."Sean, I presume?" she said, her voice smooth and inviting.I nodded, feeling a mix of relief and anxiety wash over me. "That's me. You must be Lily."She flashed me a warm smile, gesturing for me to take a seat beside her. "Please, have a seat. Would you like a drink?"I nodded gratefully, signaling for the bartender to pour me a whiskey, mirroring Lily's choice.As the bartender prepared our drinks, I couldn't help but feel a sense of curiosity about Lily. Who was she, and why had she agreed to meet me?"So, Sean, tell me about yourself," Lily said, her eyes sparkling with genuine in
His Volition Chapter 18: Liars And Thieves
I frowned, feeling a knot form in the pit of my stomach. "What do you mean?" I asked, my voice tinged with apprehension. Lily hesitated, her hands fidgeting nervously in her lap. "I'm not just an escort," she confessed, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'm a thief." My heart skipped a beat at her words, disbelief washing over me. "What?" I exclaimed, my mind reeling. "Why are you telling me this now?" Lily bit her lip, her eyes darting around nervously. "Because I need your help," she admitted, her voice trembling. "I'm in trouble, Sean. Big trouble." I felt a surge of panic course through me, but I pushed it aside, focusing on Lily's words. "What kind of trouble?" I asked, my voice steady despite the fear gnawing at me. Lily took a deep breath, her eyes locking onto mine with a desperate intensity. "I stole something valuable from a dangerous man," she confessed. "And now he's after me." I swallowed hard, the gravity of the situation sinking in. "What did you steal?" I asked, alrea
His Volition Chapter 19: Frenemies
My heart leaped into my throat as I sprang to my feet, every muscle in my body tense and ready for action. I reached for the nearest weapon I could find—a heavy iron poker from beside the fireplace—and held it at the ready, my senses on high alert.The footsteps drew nearer, growing louder. And the cabin door swung open, revealing a figure silhouetted against the early morning light. For a split second, I froze, my mind racing as I tried to make sense of what I was seeing. And then, I recognized the person and felt relieved.It was my friend, Jake."Sean?" he called out, his voice tinged with concern as he stepped into the cabin. "Are you okay? I heard about what happened and came as soon as I could."I let out a breath I hadn't realized I was holding, relief flooding through me at the sight of a familiar face. "Jake, thank god you're here," I said, my voice trembling with emotion as I moved to embrace him. "We're in trouble, man. Big trouble."Jake's brow furrowed in concern as he pu
His Volition Chapter 20: Becoming The Boss
I waited for Sean to return for an entire week, but he was nowhere to be found. The house felt empty and cold, a constant reminder of the secrets that lurked within its walls. Doubt gnawed at me, eating away at my sanity as I wondered if Sean had somehow discovered the truth about what I knew. Suspicion crept into my mind like a shadow, had Sean fled, realizing that I had uncovered the truth about his past? Or was he plotting something even more sinister, waiting in the shadows to strike?My anxiety grew each day fueling a desperate need to take control of my destiny. I couldn't wait around for Sean to come back and confront me. I had to act, to protect myself and ensure that justice was served.So, I made a decision. I would redecorate the home as I wished, change all the locks, and upgrade the security system, to trap him. I would now be in control over him.But I did not stop there. I contacted a media agency, pitching them an exclusive piece on my past with Sean. I needed to spin
His Volition chapter 21: Damage Control
I felt a chill run down my spine. It was like a tidal wave crashing over me. Jake's revelation hit me like a ton of bricks, leaving me reeling with shock and disbelief. Carmen knew the truth about Mira, about everything. And if she knew, then that meant... she was in danger, too."Damn it," I cursed under my breath, my mind racing with a million thoughts. "We need to find her, now."Jake nodded grimly, his expression grave. "I know," he said, his voice tinged. "But we have to be careful. If Carmen knows the truth, then she's in danger. And if we're not careful, we could end up putting her in even more danger."I clenched my fists, frustration and fear coursing through me like wildfire. "I won't let anything happen to her," I vowed. "She's been through enough already. I won't let her get hurt because of me."Jake placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder, his eyes filled with empathy. "We'll find her, Sean," he said, his voice soft. "And we'll keep her safe, no matter what."With that, w

But to my surprise, the house was quiet, the only sound was the soft hum of the air conditioning and the distant chirping of birds outside. Carmen was nowhere to be seen, and for a moment, I felt relieved.But as I made my way through the house, the sense of unease returned, growing stronger. The walls seemed to close in around me, suffocating me with their silent accusation. Everywhere I looked, I saw reminders of the life I had built, now shattered beyond repair.I wandered into the living room, sinking into the familiar comfort of the couch. But even here, I couldn't escape the weight of my thoughts. Memories flooded my mind, each one a painful reminder of the love and loss that had brought me to this moment.With a heavy sigh, I leaned back against the cushions, closing my eyes and trying to find some peace. But no matter how har

I stepped inside, my footsteps echoing off the walls as I made my way through the house.My heart raced as I reached the bedroom, my eyes falling on the figure lying motionless on the bed. Sean!His face was peaceful in sleep, his features softened by the dim light filtering through the curtains.

Fiona’s smile twisted into something cruel. “You really thought I’d make this easy for you? No, Sean, I’m going to keep her a little longer. Just until I’m sure everything is as it should be.”Panic flared inside me. This wasn’t the plan. If Fiona didn’t release Carmen today, I didn’t know how much longer we could keep up this charade. But before I could say anything more, Fiona’s phone buzzed in her pocket. She glanced at it, her smile faltering as she read something on the screen. Her eyes snapped back to me, narrowing with suspicion.“These documents… they’re fake, aren’t they?” she hissed, her voice filled with venom.I didn’t respond. There was nothing I could say to convince her otherwise. The truth was out, and I could see the rage building in her eyes.“You thought you could trick me, Sean? You’re going to regret this. I was going to let Carmen live, but now… now I’m going to make you watch as I finish her off.”Before I could react, she yanked Evie toward her, dragging my dau

The house was dark, the only light coming from the dim glow of the television that I wasn't watching. My mind was too preoccupied with thoughts of Carmen and the bleak future that seemed to stretch endlessly before me. The letter she had sent replayed in my mind over and over.The shrill ring of my phone jolted me from my thoughts. I glanced at the screen, not recognizing the number. For a moment, I considered letting it go to voicemail, but something compelled me to pick up."Hello?" I answered, my voice rough with fatigue and stress.There was a moment of silence on the other end, followed by a low, familiar laugh that sent a chill down my spine."Hello, Sean.

I asked, moving toward her, my heart sinking as I noticed the way her hands were trembling.She looked up at me in despair. "Sean, did you see the news? Did you see what they’ve said about me?"I shook my head, reaching out to take her phone.

His Volition Chapter 62: Starting Over

For everything,” Fiona replied, her voice thick with so much emotion.I walked Fiona to the car, feeling the tension in the air as we made our way to her temporary destination.

I tried calling again, but the call went straight to voicemail.“Sean, maybe she’s just sleeping,” Carmen suggested, trying to reassure me. But I could hear the hesistation in her voice.“Maybe,” I replied, though I didn’t quite believe it myself.Just as we were about to leave, the door to the neighboring apartment opened, and an elderly woman peered out.“Are you looking for Fiona?” she asked, her voice curious.“Yes, we are. Have you seen her tonight?” I asked, hoping for some clue.The woman shook her head. “I heard her leave earlier, but she hasn’t come back. I thought it was strange since she usually comes back by now.”A cold knot tightened in my stomach. Fiona was out there somewhere, and we had no idea where or in what condition.Carmen and I decided to check a few of Fiona’s usual haunts—the places she might go when she needed to
