-Please get out of here, I mean it," she grabbed her hair to such an extent that her hair was disheveled, "damn it, but I'm starting to hate my life, I'm starting to hate everyone-her tears kept falling, it was obvious how bad she was having a bad time.-I tried to calm him down, it really hurt me to see Nick in that state, nobody deserves to be unhappy in the things he likes the most-it's just a prize rhythm, we both know that you work hard and that the work you have been doing all this time is good, not because you haven't been rewarded makes you less, look at me-I cradled his face putting it in front of mine, take a deep breath, Beth, you have to make him feel supported, enough of so much pain knowing that you want it-you have me!-I didn't know what I was doing, but this time I had to get what was in my heart out. Having this contained all the time was killing me.-What are you talking about?" he frowned puzzled at what I had said, but at least he had calmed down to ask me, "What d
Nate ended the call so I looked at him suspiciously, at first I had been very struck by the way he treated them. I thought that they respected them, but I could see that they didn't. Secondly, the thing that had caught my attention was that the product hadn't arrived complete. Secondly, the thing that had caught my attention was that the product had not arrived complete. What did he mean? That didn't give me that much of a bad impression because it's their stuff plus it's their job, I guess. I thought the boss was Nate, yes. So there's a boss above the two of them?-What do you think? -he asked me, looking nervous. His tie was unbuttoned.-Nothing," I answered, trying to assimilate what the guy had said. What had worried me was about Nicholas' life, he said it was in danger. That did interest me. -Why did he say Nicholas' life was in danger? -I looked at him.-It's nothing important, that's how we usually treat each other as businessmen. When perhaps we don't comply with something, th
I took a cab as usual, but first I took a sidelong glance at the car that was there, you couldn't see anything because of the tinted windows, but I had never seen Nate or Nivk have a car like this.-Please take me to Miller's company," I ordered the driver while my eyes were still on the car, but well I guess it must be someone who also lives nearby.The cab had started and we had been driving for maybe ten minutes, I checked the inside of my bag making sure I didn't leave anything behind, sleeplessness was a key factor for me not to be well for the rest of the day so today it would be a challenge to be on my feet.I craned my neck back and to my surprise the car I had seen outside the building was also coming up behind me. That is if I looked at it even more suspiciously.-Please pick up the pace," I tapped the driver's shoulder as I continued to turn my neck backwards, "I'm running a little late and my boss will be very angry.Immediately the driver accelerated even more, turning th
The guys handed me over to the boss, who grabbed me by the hair and made me get into a boat.-Let go of me, asshole! -I wanted to get away, but it was useless. My scalp was already starting to hurt. I heard some gunshots that made me turn to where Nick and Nate were, I was so afraid for them. Afraid that they would do something to them or hurt them.-Come on, get in! -The boss pushed me, making me fall to my knees inside the boat. He then got in with two more men who held my arms.-Beth! -I heard Nick call me, I looked down the dock and there he was running towards me, other guys were behind.-Nick! -I started to yell at him but one of the guys covered my mouth.-Beth! -I was so close.The boss started the boat, pulling us away from the dock. I tried to break free and tried to scream but I couldn't. Tears rolled down my cheeks. Tears rolled down my cheeks. I was afraid. Afraid because I didn't know what would happen to me. Afraid of these guys.In the distance I saw Nick jump into the
It was very dark, I could hardly see the palm of my hand and those guys were coming after me, the worst thing was that I was running without any special direction, I just knew I had to run away from those guys no matter what.There were dry leaves and many branches, I dodged everything in front of me, the surface was uneven, so much so that I had to run barefoot. I kept running as much as I could, but my strength was also running out.In an unexpected movement I tripped over something and started to roll downhill, colliding with everything in front of me, I could even feel my ribs colliding with a very thick branch which made me change direction. I kept rolling until I fell to the bank of a kind of stream.My body was sore, I touched my side and felt a strong pain, most likely I had a fracture or something like that, but at least I could no longer hear the voices of those guys coming after me. I had to move from the spot, knowing those people for sure they would come for me.I got bac
-Hold on! -Tom exclaimed, accelerating the bike further. While I was holding on tightly to his waist he was driving and sometimes shooting backwards. I could not believe I was in this situation, I was so afraid that a bullet would hit me in the back or in the head. As they were coming behind me, I didn't even notice. Maybe we were about half way, in the distance I could see some lights, I could not distinguish well because of the water that blurred my vision. -I think there are boats coming! -he let me know.As the boats approached, Tom slowed down.-Why are you stopping? -I asked.-I think I recognized someone.At that moment, a bunch of armed men came out of the two boats that were near us and started shooting at the guys who were behind us. I covered my ears because of the noise the shots were making, but I don't know what happened that I fell into the water. It was cold. When I surfaced, Tom was also in the water.-Beth! -someone shouted from the boat. It was Nick, he was dressed
NICHOLAS-Please, you can choose any place you want to eat," he said confidently, leaving the building, I didn't want her to feel uncomfortable just by taking her to expensive or luxurious places, "I'll go quietly wherever you go," I nodded to make her feel comfortable.-Are you sure?" she frowned, still not believing my word.-If I'm telling you, it's just because, Beth," we got into my car. By the way, I know all these men you see here must make you nervous or uncomfortable, I know you're not used to seeing this, but it's for your safety.-I know and believe me, I still don't get the idea of having people like this near me," she buckled her seat belt, "but we have to talk about something very serious," she said glaring at me, deep down I knew what she meant, but I didn't want any lies between us, that way I would finish what little I have gained with her.-I smiled to get out of the uncomfortable topic, I started the car and we left.-Nick-he asked with his eyes straight ahead-why a
-I am...I was waiting for Nicholas' answer, I needed him to tell me the truth once and for all. I knew there was something fishy going on there but I couldn't figure out what at the moment. To tell the truth Tony looked like he was a very dangerous guy. And I didn't like Nicholas having dealings with them.-Nicholas?A female voice brought us out of our important conversation and made us turn our faces to a girl who came on the arm of a little girl. Nicholas had been half in shock when he saw her, suddenly his mood changed and he became serious. He clenched his jaw and his fists.-Amanda?-Nicholas, what a surprise to see you here," he approached with a smile. The girl was fair-skinned, her hair was yellow, her features were fine. The truth is that she was very pretty. And she was dressed young. My heart began to beat faster because I sensed something. And I hated when I sensed things because later they ended up being true.-Same here," Nick replied. Now they were seeing each other s
