Kingdom Ranch: Western romance Seventy-three
Rebecca can't help but feel grateful for the love that Andreas has brought into her life. She never thought that she would find someone who understood her so well, who accepted her flaws and all. She looks forward to spending each day with him, learning more about him, and growing old together. As they walk through the park, with Buddy excitedly chasing after the ball, Andreas takes her hand and pulls her close. He leans down and kisses her deeply, causing her heart to skip a beat. She feels his love for her in every touch, every glance, and every word he speaks. As they walk back to the car, Rebecca can't help but feel like she's living in a fairy tale. She knows that life is not always easy, but with Andreas by her side, she's ready to face any challenge that comes their way. Even something like playing the wife of Andreas McKinnon. The beginning of spring came with a rush of activities at the ranch. The families of the workers, business parties, and her own family, Lacey and An

Andreas can't help but smile as he feels Rebecca snuggle closer to him. He runs his fingers through her hair and down her back, enjoying the warmth of her body against his. The sound of the rain outside creates a calming atmosphere, making it even harder for him to resist the urge to fall back asleep. Andreas can feel the warmth of Rebecca's body against his chest and the rise and fall of her breathing as she sleeps. She sighs in her sleep, and he notices how her long lashes create a delicate shadow on her cheeks and the sweet curve of her lips. How fortunate he is to have her by his side, he muses. As he continues to watch her, his fingers travel down the curve of her back, tracing light circles on her skin. Rebecca stirs at his touch, turning her head to look at him with sleepy eyes. "Hey," she says, her voice soft and husky. Hey, yourself," Andreas replies with a smile. "Sleep well?" "Mmm, I did," she murmurs, snuggling closer to him. "What time is it?" "Almost 3 pm," he tell

“We're meeting here back at four.”“Correct, I'm helping Lacey with shopping for her new place, and we're having lunch later.” She explained once again that Andreas does understand that I will meet him at the exact spot where we are standing, but he also doesn't look that trusting. “I can always run back and get your phone.”“Lacey has hers.” He doesn't trust me. He thinks it might happen all over again—that I'm going to disappear once again. She wouldn't trust herself .“I'm meeting you here at four.” Reassurance is what he needs. Standing on her tiptoes, Rebecca presses her lips against his, and he hums, pulling her forward and not caring about PDA. He had been feeling insecure about their relationship lately, and her small gesture of affection was enough to put his mind at ease. Lacey is standing a few steps back, watching the exchange, she too is a bit weary about the topic. They haven't really talked about that time. Moving forward seems best, and ignoring the fact that she

“What do you mean?” Her mouth dry. Rebecca couldn't deny it, this right here wasn't right. “I mean, I have enough time now to do what I want to do.” She didn't want to ask what he meant, his confidence worried her. “Andreas is coming to pick me up.” “I'm sure he is. He's been overly attentive lately. He never leaves you out of his sight, he is always with you. He and that damn dog." He snickered. “Imagine my surprise when I see you without either of your watchdogs.” “My friend is with me.” “Oh Rebecca.” The sound of her voice coming out of his mouth felt filthy. “You really shouldn't have left your house today." Rebecca felt a chill run down her spine as she realized the danger she was in. She knew she had to think fast and come up with a plan to get out of this situation. "Are you happy, Rebecca?" John asked, taking a step closer to her. "Is your husband making you happy?" Rebecca's throat felt dry, and she swallowed hard. "Yes, Andreas makes me very happy," she managed to

Andreas sat at his office desk, his fingers drumming impatiently on the surface. He had been waiting for what felt like hours for the clock to hit the designated time when he could go and pick up Rebecca from the mall. He knew it was irrational, but every time he dropped her off somewhere, he had this nagging feeling in his gut that she would disappear again, just like before. The kiss they shared before she got out of the truck had left him wanting more, like always. It was like a drug that he couldn't get enough of. He sighed, trying to calm his racing thoughts. He knew he needed to trust Rebecca, but the fear of losing her was too great. He grabbed his phone and checked the time again. He leaned back against the seat and closed his eyes, trying to push away the feeling of unease. He thought about how much he loved her and how much he didn't want to lose her. He knew he needed to talk to her about his feelings, but he didn't want to come across as possessive or overbearing. Andre

Rebecca felt sick to her stomach as John entered the room with a plastic bag in his hand. She recognized the logo of the store and realized they weren't too far from town. He placed the bag on the floor and offered her a water bottle and some snacks, but she refused to take anything from him. John tried to sweeten her up with his words, talking about how good they looked together and how he could make her happy. But Rebecca knew better than to believe his lies. She glared at him with disgust, her voice cold and unwavering as she spoke. "You're sick, John. What you're doing is wrong and illegal. You have no right to keep me here like this. Let me go and turn yourself in before it's too late." John's face twisted in anger, his eyes burning with fury. "You don't understand, Rebecca. You're mine, and I'll do anything to keep you with me. I love you." Rebecca shook her head in disbelief. "Love? You call this love? This is nothing but obsession and delusion

Andreas felt his heart racing as he led the group of friends and family members searching for Rebecca. They split up, covering different areas of the town and surrounding areas. They checked alleys, abandoned buildings, and even went to the police station to file a missing person report. Andreas looked at the sheriff with a sense of frustration. "She was fine, sheriff. Nothing out of the ordinary." Sheriff Hughs jotted down some notes on his notepad. "And what was her mental state like? Was she stressed or upset about anything?" Andreas sighed. "She has always worried about little things, but nothing that would make her run away like this." The sheriff nodded slowly. "And did she have any enemies, any suspicious people in her life?" Andreas shook his head. "No, not that I know of. She's a good person, sheriff." The sheriff nodded and jotted down some notes on his notepad. “Alright, we'll keep that in mind. Thank you for your time, Andreas.” Sheriff Hughs scribbled some more note

Rebecca awoke once again on the dirty mattress, her head pounding and her limbs aching from being bound for so long. The air in the room was damp, and the heavy rain outside had made it feel colder than before. She shivered and pulled the thin blanket tighter around her body, wishing for some warmth and comfort. Apart from the dirt floor and the yellow lamp hanging from the ceiling, there was nothing visible when she gazed around the little room. She didn't know how long she had been there because she had no sense of time. She didn't know what John had in store for her because he hadn't come back. She tried to quiet her racing thoughts by closing her eyes, but the worry and anxiety never left her. She reflected on Andreas and how much she missed him and yearned to be in his arms once more. She thought about her family and friends, who were probably terribly worried about her, and tears flowed down her face. As the hours passed, Rebecca's hope began to fade. She didn't know how much

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.

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.

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
