“Who did this to you, Mr McDowell?” Detective Cortez asked, as he stood at the doorway of the private hospital suite, hands deep into his pockets, while his eyes remained on the man on the bed. Richard looked up from the screen of his laptop and frowned, not expecting any visitors for almost a few
Detective Cortez raised his brows at that, before looking down at the bruises over his knuckles and arms. “So, who did this to you, Mr McDowell? And how do you know they have nothing to do with the disappearance of your sister?” “It was…a misunderstanding,” he said, looking down at his knuckles, re
“Madam, the board meeting is about to start in five,” Betty Adams reminded Elena once again, as she stood at her office door, looking more impatient than Elena herself.Elena looked up from the papers strewed about on her desk and nodded. “Yes, of course. Let’s go.” She said and moved away from the
———An hour later, Elena sat at a table inside the interrogation room.The cold, hard and uncomfortable seat made her back hurt and her head hurt even more, the longer she sat in the room. But it wasn’t as if she had much choice on the matter either, her lawyer hadn’t shown up yet and Detective Cort
The interrogation went on for hours.But not once, Elena opened her mouth to say anything. If there was anything to say, her lawyer took care of it. He was smart, direct and pulled on punches.No doubt he worked for Simon, as far as she could tell and had known the man for whatever duration they spe
———Fifteen minutes later, Elena and the lawyer stood outside the police station.The sun was blinding, and Elena raised a hand to cover her eyes. “What now?” She asked her lawyer.The man, whom she knew nothing about except what she’d found out through him in the past few hours, gestured towards a
After dropping Elena to her room and making sure she had everything she needed so she could rest for a few hours, Simon came downstairs and went straight to her study. Before going to bed, he asked her if he could use it for a while, that he needed to take care of some of his business matters while
“While I was looking around, asking for questions, trying to know about Cecelia, a face came up.” Simon stared, as if still not convinced it was something of worth. “I don’t have a name for you yet, but if you give me more time, I’ll find out for sure. The man I’m talking about was caught in the C
Hey lovely readers,First of all, I would like to say a huge thank you if you’ve made it to the end. It wasn’t an easy journey, I know, but you stayed, and that means everything to me. :)Secondly, let me get straight to what I said I would be talking about in this note.I know a lot of you (probabl
“Ahh!” She cried out as Simon moved down and kissed the space between her breasts, before taking a nipple in his mouth.“Oh fuck! Oh God!” She moaned. Her back arched off the bed when he began sucking on them hard while his fingers tweaked the other nipple, causing her to let out a cry of ecstasy.“
After their little party was over and everyone went back to the guest rooms to rest, Elena laid their sleeping daughter in her crib and tucked her nicely.A pair of warm hands slid around her waist from behind, a kiss landed on her shoulder. “Thank you for today. How long have you been planning all
Simon woke up in the middle of the night, his heart racing.He looked around himself, patting his hand around in search of the person he was hoping to find. But to his dismay, there was no one else on the bed with him.“Elena?” he said out loud, frowning at the darkness.His hand patted the sheets a
Elena stood outside the doors, clutching the bouquet tightly in her hands. She was shaking, and she knew that anyone who could see her right now would notice, including her brother, Josh.“You’re not a very confident bride, are you?” he teased.She rolled her eyes, wanting to punch him but refrainin
Richard whistled, and Danika watched as Greg, standing outside the room, appeared and uncuffed him.“What the fuck?” Danika was shocked. “How did you… How did you do that?” She turned to face Greg. “You… you work for me, not him! Cuff him back to the door, you giant imbecile!”“Sorry, miss,” Greg sa
“Is everything set up?” the first man who carried the unconscious bride asked.“Yes,” Greg, who stood outside the operating theater, nodded. “The room is ready. All the equipment is working fine. Just leave her inside, and that woman will handle the rest.”“Sounds good to me,” the other man said, wi
Danika was so damn ready for the final stage of her revenge.She had planned everything meticulously, and now all her efforts were coming to fruition. She was smiling to herself when the phone rang, and she picked it up, already aware of what she was about to hear.“We got her,” the man with the dee
Simon was pacing outside the bridal suite, restless and nervous. One of the servers had informed him that Elena wasn’t feeling well, and he had dropped everything he was doing to rush over and see if she was okay, or if they needed to cancel the wedding. Because he totally could. Nothing was more im
