-Levana, who is Logan Miller and why did he help us? -Sara closes the curtains and now turns to us.-I'm just getting to know the guys here -I shrug- Maybe because he had something to do with all this.-That's right, maybe he's protecting his own," Natalia commented.I crossed my arms because I didn't understand anything, Logan Miller was very mysterious and I was sure that they had something to do with Steven's death, that poor boy who was just doing his job. They are bad. I remembered that he had invited me to his party. He'll be crazy if he thinks I'm going.-This is really bad -Sara puts her hands to her head- I don't know what's going on here but I need you two to stay out of trouble.-We're not to blame for them wanting to hurt us," Nat shrugs.-Natalia, what do you know about the Millers? -my sister asked.-I only know that they are attractive and that.... -she started to say but Sara interrupted her.-I'm not talking about that. I want to know about their lives, about them.-W
Logan grabbed my waist roughly and pinned me to the wall, cornering me. I didn't quite understand what was going on or why Logan was kissing me if we barely knew each other. I started to feel something in my chest, like a strange thing going up and down my throat. I felt something in my stomach too, I felt like I needed it. I brought my hands to the back of his neck and grabbed his hair. He brought his lips to my neck, kissing me:-I want to eat you," he whispered softly, it was a whisper that gave me chills.-Logan -I wanted to pull away, but he wouldn't let me -Logan, stop it.Now he looked at me.-What's wrong?I swallowed thickly, my lips felt throbbing, too eager to kiss him again. God, it was a completely strange sensation I'd never experienced before. Ever. With anyone.-That it's not right what we're doing. -I crossed my arms, pulling further apart.Logan sighed.-You couldn't help it, could you? You felt things when I kissed you," he leaned closer, "Things in your stomach, i
-What is he doing here? -I crossed my arms, looking at Logan, who came with a totally amused look on his face.-Levana, don't talk like that. Logan offered to take care of you today while the whole house check is going on," answered my dear sister, "Now I have to go, you're in good hands. -Sara walks out of the house and leaves, leaving me alone with this strange boy. Unconsciously I remembered her kiss from yesterday and I tensed up a little.-Well," Logan sits down on the couch and takes control of the TV, "do you have anything to eat? I'm starving.-No, and even if I did I wouldn't give it to you -I sit down next to him-why are you doing this, Logan, what are you doing here?Logan switched channels without leaving a single one. He didn't seem to flinch at my questions, his countenance was relaxed and as if he was used to it. He knew how to act very well.-I told you, Levana, you're mine," he gave me a quick glance as he winked at me.-I'm not yours! -I stood up immediately -We wome
-Good afternoon, Miss Jones," the same officer from yesterday seems more confident now, "We are here to check the house, it's just a matter of protocol.-Of course. Show me the warrant," I asked. The officer handed me the papers and I pretended to read them, I really wouldn't read any of it because it was a lot and I was in a hurry. Logan appeared behind me, his attitude to the officers was nonchalant.-What's up, James," Logan greeted.-Logan Miller, what a surprise to have you around," Officer James replied.-Get used to seeing me with Levana often," he replied. I gave him a dirty look because he spoke to them without any fear.-You may come in," I handed them the warrant and opened the door wider.-We won't be long," said the other one, entering my house.-Don't worry, Lev, I'll make sure the officers do their job," Logan headed upstairs with the two officers.-Lev? -I heard Ruth's voice.-Yes?-I'm hungry," she rubbed her belly, pouting a little. It was tender to see her like that
At about one o'clock in the afternoon Samuel came back for Ruth, he had thanked me for taking care of his little sister. I told him it was no problem and that whenever he wanted, the doors of my house were open for them. Of course, Logan wasn't leaving yet. As I said goodbye to Samuel and Ruth, I closed the door to return to the kitchen.-At last we are alone -Logan takes off his black jacket and just stays in a white t-shirt. His muscles are noticeable, he looked like he was going to the gym.-And what's wrong with us being alone? -I frowned.-That we're free to do whatever we want, right? -Logan took some ingredients from the refrigerator and put them on the cutting board.-What are you going to do?-Hmm I don't know, I'm thinking what I could do with this stuff you have there.My sister and I didn't have a lot of stuff because we barely kept ourselves at home, we always ate out.-I'll order something to eat better -I went to get the cell phone but Logan stopped me.-No, you just si
I woke up with a start, realizing that I was lying on the bed in my room. I had the same clothes on, my hair wasn't wet... it was as if I hadn't showered for a while. I frowned in complete confusion, I didn't understand what had happened. Then I remembered what I did with Logan just now.... Was it real? I stood up and walked out of the room, down the stairs. I was surprised to see Logan sitting there on the couch watching TV.-Weren't you going to take a shower? -he asked. -Shower? -I wanted to know, hadn't he already booked me? I was so confused, what had happened? I had fallen asleep in bed and woke up feeling like I had had an erotic dream about Logan. I had dreamed that he took my virginity. -Yes, you said you were going upstairs to take a shower," he stood up and walked over to me. I had to look up because Logan was taller than me, he looked so imposing.-I'm sorry, I think I fell asleep.-Levana, are you okay? -He reached up and cupped my chin. His gaze was dark, his pupils w
Ten seconds. There are only ten seconds left. Breathe, try to focus, and don't think about bad things. I put the pencil in my bag and took the sheet. It was an exam that would help me a lot for my final grades, I was at the end of the race and I couldn't afford to go wrong. When the clock made that strange sound that time was up, everyone got up to turn in their exams. I stood up, hooked my bag over my shoulder, and walked over to the desk. I put the exam on top of the others and left. "Elizabeth," Grace calls me, my best friend. "Are you going to the show tonight?" Was what she asked me. I sighed deeply and tried to think about whether or not it was worth going out today; I had been submitting a few job applications and was eager to wait for responses. Although to be honest it has already been a few months of that. I think I should find some part time to pay the rest of my apartment rent. "I don't know, Grace." I rubbed my temple in circles with my fingers. "I'm not r
THE INTERVIEW This yes, this no. We'll see how this one fits me. not! It definitely doesn't match me, I'm going to try this one... neither! I don't really know what to wear to go to that interview, I would refute a lot of clothes in my closet. Maybe Grace was right about my clothes, but what mattered to me is how I felt and that's why I didn't care if other people didn't like it, but this time I must have looked good for that interview, I had waited a long time time for a chance how is it and didn't want to spoil it all. I needed the money, in case my apartment needed a good remodel and with my expenses I have been seeing them with difficulty lately. I went to a website to see the possible combinations in clothes, but it was difficult for me, I only kept casual clothes. I remembered Grace. I went to WhatsApp, I saw that Grace had already put a status with Patrick. She neverchange! Only she was with him for a moment and she already believed herself to be a crush. Anyway I
—Daniela!My mother's scream coming from downstairs made me… no, the truth is that the house is not two stories. I don't even know why I said that, I guess that's how some stories start, right? Well, what were we up to? Ah yes, the shout coming from my mother from the living room made me open my eyes immediately, wincing afterwards. It wasn't even a school day and she was yelling at... —I look at the bedside clock—...nine in the morning.—Daniiii! Ella, she yells again. She covered my face with the pillow and gasped. They don't let me rest.-I'm going! She answered before she can think of yelling again. I get up from my warm bed and put on my slippers. I see myself in the mirror, making a face of horror afterwards. Messy hair, dark circles and marks from sleeping so much. I make a loose bow and go out.I find my mother coming to my place."Can't you guess what happened?" She —she looks a little excited, I don't know. She carries some papers in her hands.-What happened? Her.” She cros
lexMy knuckles are starting to hurt a little, they bleed and make it clear that I have to stop. But I can't, the adrenaline in my body, the rage, makes me not want to do it. I put my hand out and hit the guy in front of me hard, causing him to fall on his back.“Lex, enough is enough. Trust me, Morbix learned his lesson from him.” I thought I heard Gary's voice, but I decide to ignore it. I crouch down and grab the guy by the collar of his shirt. His face is bruised and bloody."S-stop," he manages to say, almost pleading. I grab my hand again and raise it, determined to take another hit. Just to show him that no one plays with me, no one messes with me. Neither with me, nor with mine."Lex, please." You're going to kill him,” Wade says, behind me. I stop my fist in midair and decide whether to last hit or not. With people like him, I have no mercy."He doesn't deserve it," was what I said. The look of the guy in front of me was dark, tired. He had too dilated irises. He looked like
-We'll prepare it right now," said the doctor, "We can't waste any more time," and he left down a corridor.-For God's sake, I don't know how to thank you, Nate," Mom came up to him, "Thank you so much, believe me, I'll owe you for this.-Don't worry, ma'am, that's nothing and if I have the opportunity to help someone I do it. Without any interest in return.-You're a good boy, Nate, you deserve a good woman.Nate saw me when mom said that.-And I think I got her.I looked down because I felt a little uncomfortable, besides Nate would give a large sum of money and I really didn't want to be in debt with him. Or with anyone.-Thank you very much indeed.-Nate, can we talk? -I approached him.-Sure.I signaled Mom that I was on my way back, took Nate down the hall because I needed to tell him a few things.-What's wrong?-Yes, why are you doing this? -I crossed my arms and faced him, "that's a lot of money, I couldn't pay you back even if I worked for five years. Maybe we should look fo
-I don't know what things you have in your head and knowing you as you are, most probably you must be thinking the worst of me -his face was very serious, it seemed that he was determined to make his last move, in reality even if he told me the things as such my decision could not change it, I already started a relationship with Nate and I never break my promises, so whatever Nick told me would not change at all -but the truth of it all is that...My cell phone started to vibrate, it was a call from mom, it was strange that she was calling me and even more at this hour.-Wait a moment -I moved away a little bit so she wouldn't hear the conversation.-Beth? -Mom's voice was sobbing -I need you to come home please.-What's wrong mom? -Since I heard her tone of voice I went into alarm mode -I can't hear you very well.-It's your father...-What about him? I put a hand to my chest, I felt something wrong, I started to breathe sharply, I hope it wasn't serious news.-He had an accident wit
-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
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
-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
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
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
