The previous year had been an emotional rollercoaster, but they had made it through together, stronger than ever.The love she shared with Andreas was worth every hardship they endured. If only Lacey were here to share her happiness. She couldn’t wait to tell her, but first Andreas.Just then, the sound of a car approaching broke her reverie. Andreas pulled into the driveway, his smile as warm as the fireplace awaiting them inside. He stepped out of the car and hurried towards her, his breath creating small puffs in the cold air."Hey, beautiful," he greeted her, leaning in for a sweet kiss.Rebecca's heart skipped a beat as she returned his kiss. "Hey, yourself," she replied with a grin. "You're home early."Andreas chuckled, his eyes filled with affection. "I couldn't wa

It’s been a week, exactly a week since I last talked to Andreas McKinnon on the hill and since I also haven’t been able to sleep or eat ever since. Today I have to go back there and tell him I’m sure about my decision. The same one I had already made the first time I had gone there. It had been a mistake to go to him. I almost peed my pants. Just thinking about it makes me relive everything that went I through, and I did it only because I was more attached to the house, the land and everything that kept me closer to the memories. Everything that she had touched. We were close to losing it all to Andreas McKinnon. Not only had I lied to my brother, my father and my best friend Lacey about where I was going in the middle of the night but I had to climb the hill, in total darkness to get there. The path to Kingdom ranch was watched by several of his men. He guarded his cattle and crops with nails and teeth

“I need to talk to you.” I start to say before I chicken out. “In private.” “Private?” His smile turns into a snicker and he shake his head. “Children should be in their beds.” “Please. Is important.” I press on trying to forget the jolts of pain and ignoring the fact that he just called me a child. At 24 I did not consider myself a child, I may look younger than I was but not that much to call me child. “To whom?” He has me there, I don’t want to say it in from of them. “To you.” I’m not brave enough to raise my voice but is loud enough for him to hear. “Really? Now this sound interesting.” Ok, from afar he doesn’t look this intimidating. I had a speech ready and all. I had written it and practiced in front of my bathroom mirror several times before heading here. “I’m listening.” He said crossing his arms, the scowl on his face darkening. “Not here.” I beg. “Please.” I try to ge

Andreas’s POV I knew who she was all right. With the same big doe eyes, she looked a bit roughened up; a bit of dirt on her face didn’t take away the prettiness. She was a looker, even more now with her big brown eyes looking all shiny and the stubborn chin. Little Kennedy wanted an audience and could guess very well the reason but as always, I liked to play with my food and she looked as yummy as ever. Too bad she wasn’t ready to pluck. Never had the chance to have her this close and can’t say that I’m disappointed. A little bit small framed but plain she was not. The hair and eyes did it for me, add the pink lips and cheeks and yes, she was my type, she was any man's type. There were curves and I’d say braveness. Women came on to me all the time but never would have dreamed that she would dare. I know she’s scared of me or I somehow spook her. Looking away whenever I catch her staring, her whole demeanor changed whenever I was close by, not like it had been that many times th

Lacey Bogs and I have been best friends since the third grade. She was new at school and was the only one who didn’t call me names whenever I limped around the halls. She is also the person I tell everything that happens to me but this, this thing that has been eating me alive all week is the only thing I can’t tell her. She was the one who told me to get as far as possible from men like McKinnon. She has experience with a few of the bad boys of town but he’s the worst of them all. Bad boys tend to fall on their knees whenever she’s around. Beautiful Lacey; with her big blue eyes and compact body full of curves. I think it’s her big round doe eyes that lures them in and makes them believe she’s innocent and nice. I’m innocent and nice, she’s just well disguised. Where similar in height but that's about it, my hair is brown and my eyes too. I leave my hair wild while she straightens her dark blond mane, she’s extrovert and wild while I can’t move as a normal person sh

I’m panting and sweating profusely. I left the house exactly one hour ago while the sun is still out, and now was almost dusk by the continuing changes of color of the sky, good chances are that I will make it before then the sun disappears. I slid out the back door without locking myself in my bedroom until the sounds from downstairs dimmed down, it worked every time. My father wanted nothing to do with me after that day, I was living here out of charity, I mean that was what he said, not the exact words but he meant it that way. I’m sure Cameron went out with some girl while my dad sat down on his favorite lounge chair to watch some sports game. I’m slowly advancing. My shirt is stuck to my back, my knees and shoes are muddy from the drizzle that fell earlier, I may have slipped and fallen several times, and my l

“Call Carla, tell her is urgent.” We have finally stopped moving. My body has been complaining from the moment he lifted me into his truck, the unevenness of the road, the most likely frantic manner he drove to get to wherever we were added to. I have been in and out of it. “Right away sir.” “Holyshitballs, you bruise like a peach Kennedy.” A warm hand holds my face, I try to open my eyes but they are so heavy. “What the hell happened? Who is this?” The panic in this unknown person's voice tells me everything I need to know about my current state of being. Chaos, words, and orders. People are being told to do this and that while I try not to pass out. A heated exchange of words starts and all I can do is lay there, waiting until someone remembers that I’m about to die from internal bleeding or pass out, or something. “Lord almighty!” A soft hand touches my forehead, this one very gently brushes

I woke up groggy; the pain drugs make me grumpy and hungry. This has to be what hells feels like. The pain is less now but I still can’t do anything by myself. I’m bathed and helped to get dressed. Food is brought to me. The hospital dismissed a concussion, I haven’t been able to do anything by myself. I have slept for two whole days, and now two more in a daze. I wake up and Carla helps me to the bathroom, she helps me get dressed, brushes my hair and puts me back into a freshly made bed. She helps me with the food and then forces me to take a new set painkillers that makes me sleepy and it starts all over again. I feel like I have lost months on this bed. Also, there’s Andreas, I learned he hates his name. Carla teases him or so she tells me. I learned a few things about him too, Carla talks too much but is not a bad thing, her voice is soothing and she warm, like a mother. I like her, the way she treats me and talks to me almost makes me feel good about myself. “Where’s the re

His hand reached out, his fingers tracing a delicate path along her jawline, sending shivers down her spine. "I want you, too," he admitted, his voice husky. Rebecca's breath caught as his thumb brushed over her lower lip, and she leaned into his touch, her eyes fluttering closed. The intimacy of the moment and the electricity in the air made her feel more alive than ever. His fingers trailed down her neck, sending tingles of sensation wherever they touched. She could feel the heat between them, the anticipation growing with each passing second. Her hands found their way to his chest, feeling the steady rhythm of his heart beneath her fingertips. Andreas leaned in, his lips brushing against hers in a teasing, featherlight kiss. It was a promise of what was to come—a tantalising taste that left her craving more.

With a warm cup of tea in her hands, Rebecca watched as the sun fell below the horizon from a seat on the porch. The previous week had been a tornado of feelings and encouragement. Now that John was no longer a danger, she felt relieved, but the recollections persisted in the back of her mind. She inhaled deeply, attempting to shake off the residual anxiety. Andreas walked up behind her and placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. She looked up at him, offering a small smile. He had been her rock through it all, supporting her in every way possible. "How are you feeling?" he asked softly. Rebecca sighed, leaning into his touch. "Better," she admitted. "The weight feels a little lighter now that he's gone." Andreas nodded, his gaze full of understanding. "I'm glad you're safe," he said, his voice filled with sincerity. "And I'm here for you, always." She reached up and touched his hand, a silent thank you passing between them. They sat in comfortable silence, the sounds of the evening
Kingdom Ranch: Western romance One-hundred
Rebecca’s heart pounded in her chest as she watched the flashing lights of the police cars in the rearview mirror. John had been trying to evade them for miles, but they finally caught up to them as they attempted to cross the state line. She begged him to stop, to give up, but he only revved the engine and pushed the pedal to the floor. The car swerved through traffic, cutting off other vehicles at a dangerous speed. Rebecca gripped the armrests, her knuckles turning white. She tried to reason with him, telling him that they would only make things worse, but he only laughed maniacally and continued to weave in and out of traffic. Suddenly, a loud bang echoed through the car, and the vehicle next to them spun out of control on the freeway. Rebecca’s head slammed against the window, and she let out a scream. Rebecca was panicking, looking out the window and watching the police cars in pursuit. John was driving recklessly, swerving and dodging as the car hit high speeds. "John, pleas

Andreas felt his heart racing as he picked up the book from the floor. It was one of Rebecca's favorites, and he knew she had been reading it before he left to run his errand. The rumpled sheet and Buddy's whining only added to his growing anxiety. He called out for Rebecca, but there was no answer. Panic started to set in as he frantically searched the house, but there was no sign of her. He tried calling her cell phone, but it went straight to voicemail. It was then that he knew that John had taken her again. Andreas felt a wave of anger and frustration wash over him. How could he let this happen again? He had promised to keep her safe, and he had failed. He felt a sense of responsibility and guilt for leaving her alone, even if it was just for a few minutes. He quickly pulled out his phone and dialed Sheriff Hughs' number. He knew he couldn't do this alone. The sheriff arrived quickly, and together they searched the house and the surrounding area. They scoured the nearby woods, b
Kingdom Ranch: Western romance Ninety-eight
Rebecca tried to calm herself down, taking deep breaths to steady her nerves. She couldn't panic; she needed to think clearly. She looked around the trunk, trying to find anything that could help her escape. But there was nothing, just some old blankets and a spare tire. She tried to open the trunk, but it was locked from the outside. She pounded her fists against the trunk, yelling for help, but she knew it was useless. Her mind raced with different scenarios, wondering where John could be taking her and what he had planned. She had to get out of there, but how? She thought of trying to break the taillight and attract attention, but she didn't want to alert John. She needed to come up with a plan that wouldn't put her in more danger. As the car continued to move, Rebecca's mind drifted back to the moment John had taken her. She thought about her options. She could try to kick her way out, but that would be difficult with her legs cramped in such a small
Kingdom Ranch: Western romance Ninety-seven
John had been sequestered in a small apartment in another state, watching the news constantly for any developments in his case. He was astounded by how quickly everything had degenerated since that evening. Despite his meticulous planning and careful execution, one slip-up caused everything to fall apart. He sorely missed Rebecca because of the way she made him feel alive by laughing at his jokes. He couldn't allow Andreas to separate from him for her. He had been working on a plan, biding his time until the right moment. He knew he couldn't just show up at her doorstep; that would only scare her away. No, he needed to be more subtle and strategic. He had to make her believe that he had changed and that he was a different person. He couldn't risk losing her again. He spent his days researching and gathering information about Andreas and his life. He needed to know his enemy. He needed to know what he was up against. John knew he had the advantage when it came to money, but Andreas w
Kingdom Ranch: Western romance Ninety-six
Andreas sat across from Sheriff Hughs in his office, worry etched deep in his features. They had been discussing John Clark and his ability to stay hidden for so long."He's got enough money to make it happen," Sheriff Hughs said, leaning back in his chair. "But what worries me is the possibility of him returning. You know what he's capable of."Andreas nodded grimly. "Rebecca's nightmares have diminished; she's sleeping better, but she's almost always looking behind her. I've noticed how she starts to have mini attacks whenever she finds herself alone. Not even Buddy has been able to keep her at ease."Sheriff Hughs sighed heavily. "I wish there was more we could do. We've had people keeping an eye out, but he's just too good at covering his tracks."Andreas clenched his jaw. "We can't let our guard down. I won't let him hurt her again."Sheriff Hughs nodded. "I know. We'll keep looking."Andreas stood up, ready to leave. "Thanks for the update, Sheriff. Let me know if you find anyth
