“Vernon…?” I was relieved when I saw the figure of the man who walked up to me. But even though he was my best friend, I still hid my naked body from him. "What? What's going on? Why are you here? Where is this? And.. and.. why am I naked?" I bombarded him with successive questions that made him raise an eyebrow while looking at me as if to say 'did you forget?' Huh? What is going on? Wait… “Vernon… What is this place?” My eyes widened when I saw the man coming from the door. What the… What is he doing here?! Click…. “You shall go, Vernon. Thankyou” He said coldly and I tried to beg with my eyes toward my friend to not go and leave me alone with him, but he just shrugged his shoulders in defeat before cowardly left. “Coward!!!” I shout-out to my friend but he didn’t stop and just walked out of the room. Crap!!! Silence... No one opened their mouths to speak for a few moments and I could only try not to stare at him. Damn it, why is he here?! What exactly happened last ni
Ugh…The nausea and headache hit me like waves in the sea... I quickly pushed away Bradley's body who raised an eyebrow while sniggering before placing his palm on my head."Hangover... I want to spank your arse for that thing you did last night, you know that?" He said coldly and this time it was my turn to raise a confused eyebrow."I totally forgot what happened last night" I replied quietly and made him roll his eyes in annoyance.Hey, why is he upset again? I thought confusedly...Flicking my forehead "That's why, you forgot you did something stupid last night!!!" He said irritably before grabbing a glass of water and handing it to me with an aspirin."Um... and my clothes...?" I asked softly and made him glance over by giving a mischievous smile while crawling closer."Why?" He challenged me before looking all over my body that I covered with the blanket "What are you afraid of, I've seen it all" He teased. Bradley laughed loudly when he saw the expression on my face, which pro
"Dwyne..." I lifted my head and looked at Bradley who called out at the same time holding my hand in his, oh my God. "These are my cousins, they're here because they heard you were here" He said casually and I just gave a nervous smile to everyone, at a loss for what to say."You'll get to know and remember all of us, just relax" He added and made everyone laugh as if it was a fact that I would be here often and know all of them."We should talk" I said while giving him a serious look."Oh ow" Marco exclaimed accompanied by laughter from everyone.Ugh... Dammit!!!Maya seemed to be enjoying her breakfast and started talking to everyone as I stood up and walked over alone with Bradley.What should I say? I thought confusedly, as my adrenaline and courage disappeared.Realizing I had walked a long way from the dining room, I stopped and folded my arms before blinking in surprise as my body was quickly pulled away and my lips were quickly kissed by the man I was talking to."What? Brad..
As we walked back to the dining room everyone was talking to each other as if they didn't care about us and what the two of us were doing.Is this normal for them? I thought irritably, thinking that Bradley often did this with other women and I wasn't the first.Huff..."Who is this?"Speaking of women...I just realized there was a new figure sitting on one of the seats next to Marco. Two women joined the long dining table as if it was meant for all of them.One of the women had the same face as Marco, could she be his sister?Marco looked annoyed and raised an eyebrow to stare at the woman."Merida!" I heard Marco say a name that was probably hers.It was only a while ago that he said he wanted to make me his woman, and I realized that I didn't know anything about him."I didn't know you were coming, Merida" I tried to calm down and continue eating my breakfast as I heard Bradley talking to the woman named Merida.When I looked up, Merida was looking at me with an appraising gaze, w
BANG.. BANG..!!!!I gasp loudly as Gray pulls out a gun and fires at the man pointing his weapon at us.It wasn't long before he spoke to Vernon who immediately moved to the wheel as Gray got out and drove our car away from the spot."Vernon, what happened?" I asked frantically to my friend who was driving and worried about the man we left there.He looked at me from the rearview mirror and made me speechless with the way he looked at me.Could this be the so-called dangerous life of a mobster?Was this going to be my life because I was with Bradley?No one spoke until we pulled up in front of Maya's apartment, who kissed me on the cheek and said goodbye and then Vernon immediately got back in the car to take me to my apartment.On the way back, Vernon didn't say anything and I just stared at the scenery through the window.“Are you okay?” I finally heard him ask and just shrugged without looking in his direction.“I don't know” I answered him honestly.All of this was still confusin
Hell no!"Then what about my job at the hospital?" I asked Bradley who immediately shook his head as well."Just fucking quit," he replied dismissively, and I could only snort in annoyance before walking him out of my empty apartment.What the fuck is he saying?Oh God…How can he just tell me to do what I fought for and leave my home and my true identity because of what I fought for?Is he crazy?!No way, I thought, pausing as a hand grabbed my arm and stopped my footsteps from automatically heading for the elevator."Don't be angry, it's for your own good," he said in a different, softer tone, as if trying to calm me down, which made me take a long breath to control my emotions as well."Or you can leave me so that we are no longer in a relationship," my reply was casual, but seeing the angry look in his eyes made me realize that was not an option."That's not funny," he replied coldly as he crossed his arms over his chest.I let out another long breath, why is my life becoming more
"I heard what happened, are you okay?" Dr. Patrick asked the next day when we met at the restaurant for lunch.I was surprised to see him sitting in front of me eating to ask how I was doing.Yes, he must have heard everything, considering he was part of the Bradley family.I smiled at him as I nodded my head, "Yeah, just someone trashed my apartment and made me move," I said as I ate my lunch with a sad sigh at the memory.Dr. Patrick smiled back at me, "Seeing the number of guards around the hospital, I assume my nephew is over it?" His question made me nod my head to answer him, "Yes, he was angry, but he gave me a place on the 7th floor of the next apartment, which is very close to this hospital," I explained, remembering what Bradley had done to tease me yesterday.Yes, he pretended to take me to his house, knowing full well that I would reject him outright."I heard what happened, are you okay?" Dr. Patrick asked the next day when we met at the restaurant for lunch.I was surpr
"Oh my God, have you seen the night shift schedule? How can you only have one night shift today and then be completely absent for a week?" Someone suddenly spoke before he pulled the seat next to me and sat down.What the... I thought in confused before widened my eyes when I realize who's coming and join us.Daniel...Marco and I looked over at Daniel, who had suddenly sat down at our table and joined us shortly after Dr. Patrick excused himself because he had a surgery in 10 minutes so he had to finish his lunch quickly.Daniel, who seemed to think that Marco was one of the other doctors who worked here, suddenly froze when he noticed Marco's cold look at him and made me smile amusedly at what the man did after he realized that he didn't know the man sitting next to me.I bet he didn't think I would take a seat with someone he didn't know in this hospital.Typical Daniel, not looking around and acting in a hurry, I thought amusedly while waiting for Marco reaction.I'm glad I was wit
