Master Of Desires 82
"My boss has a personal order for Zachary Malik's whore," he said in a cordially mean voice and approached a heavy step.The back door roared the wind of the night when it opened wide, and half of the present fled in an unbridled race, screaming. Kendall still held my arm, as perplexed as I was. A massacre... For me. Unknown that I didn't even know the name, and now I carried their deaths, without any intention. Shock and dread merged into an indigestible mass inside my stomach, and I didn't need time to remember why that was happening. For whom.Zachary.The same person who taught me not to wait for help, and not even run away. Because he knew it. He didn't dare tell me how or when, but he knew that at some point that would happen. Because, for someone who had lost his whole family to a cowardly attack, letting this happen again would be like wishing for the tragedy. And it was his voice that caught up with me before the man in black stretched out his hand to catch me:Be a woman who

The weight of the last-minute trip fell on his shoulders the moment he crossed the threshold of his door.Harmon, his dog and faithful squire, jumped on his knees before he took more than two steps forward. He grumbled and growled softly, in doubt about the identity of his own owner. He was a very smart animal, by the way, but after so many years he had not yet gotten used to the purposeful style changes that camouflaged the face of its owner soon after an investigation.This does not mean that wearing a disguise was an exclusive part of Zachary's work. He was more connected to the fact that his face was easily identified after years of the commotion of the death of his family, and with that, any criminal or suspect who took care would avoid crossing his path.It brought greater security to his life and those around him to maintain anonymity, but sometimes lay people could confuse him for a Special Agent, even if he remained an investigator hired to make reports of each investigative

Your boss rarely sent messages. Habits of those who need to be careful about interception by third parties. Zachary kept the personal number for a few, and even so, he always faced problems using it for a long time.He got up slowly, hoping that the slowness would make his boss change his mind. But apart from the short and objective message, nothing else appeared on your cell phone after that. He dressed in the same work clothes and passed Harmon who chewed a cat-shaped toy. The dog raised his ears, attentive. Zachary whistled and approached to caress the dog between his ears. The animal grunted satisfied."I won't take long," he assured, trying to get rid of the bites the dog made to lock him at home. He seemed aware of something that was not yet clear to Zachary, and the man did not allow himself to understand. He turned to free himself and left the house in a hurry.When he arrived at the police building, a constant buzz was heard, but as he approached the main rooms, everyone was s

"We had no visual confirmation about the victim, although Louis Tomlinson is at this very moment giving testimony at the police station," said the director. "The only thing I need from you right now, Malik, is to know what debt the individual refers to.Zachary hardened his voice so that his fear did not appear."If it's not my father's debt, I'm not able to understand what he means." By any chance, does this have nothing to do with the personal and unauthorized investigations you have carried out to find the men who killed your family?Zachary's face frowned under the director's frowning gaze. Not that he was surprised that at one time or another they would find out that he had fallen into temptation and had taken advantage of his job, but because there was not even a shadow of compassion in the eyes of that old friend. Zachary decided to act the same way."No," he lied. "And I don't understand how my actions could result in something of this magnitude if they were real investigatio

I didn't realize that I had lost consciousness until I had to fight to get it back.If I napped or fainted as a result of an obvious concussion in my head, I didn't find out right away.I knew at least that I was in a poorly lit place. There were no windows as far as my vision reached, but flickering shadows danced on top of the walls cold and impregnated with a strong mold. My senses had not yet returned with my conscience. I could, however, feel the swelling on my tongue and an unbearable pressure on the ankle of one of my legs. I had no idea which leg originated that pain, still considering myself abnormally oblivious to the basics of human survival instincts. I didn't even know if the pain was real.Could something damn be real in the face of that situation?My head seemed to float on top of my neck, as light and unstable as a feather to the blow of the winter wind. I tried to stretch one hand and immediately my whole body held back in a trembling and uncomfortable echo of pain. B

Another sharp giggle sounded."If I were anywhere else, I would have congratulated her for being a normal person, but..." she sighed, and took so long to complete the sentence that I thought I had left. "It's a little sad to know that it won't take long to be more crazy than they consider humanly possible, this, of course, if they still keep her alive long enough to go crazy. Thank God, or anything else you believe, if that happens. Madness is an invaluable in this place, believe me...Real fear wrapped up in my bowels."Who are you?"No one, anything, bitch, bastard, stupid, stupid, whore, and... any vulgar appointment she considers appropriate for a woman in humiliating circumstances" she replied with humor mixing into her aggressive tone of voice. " But outside, they used to call me Doniya.“How long have you been here? "I asked, trying to see through the bars."Seven years... Maybe eight... It is not possible to have a lot of notion of the weather around here, you must imagine."D

My smile grew into a thunderous laugh, and before I noticed, I was already giving myself to another nebulous and fickle dream.It was stretched over heathers and vivid lawn. It took me a second to get used to the sounds of birds and crawling animals, but I didn't find any difficulty because I had my head empty of any inopportune. My legs were healthy and agile, and my steps were soft around the path of leaves that stretched out in the distance. The eyes moved lazily, however, the colors had a special glow and I felt privileged to be in that place.Suddenly, I heard someone call my name. It wasn't a scream, but it seemed full of anxiety. I turned in place, looking for the last echoes of that voice. It was not far from me, so I traced a path between the creeping plants and moved away the branches with colorful flowers and intoxicating aroma that made it difficult to pass to the clearing.A man waited below an ancient tree, and when looking at the strangely familiar plant, my vision trem

People die all the time, I should have gotten used to it.On the news you are always seeing the news of a murder, run over, kidnapping or suicide. People die, it's simple and easy to understand. It turns out that when you are on the other side, when you are the person who had your heart compressed by the pain of the loss of those you loved, none of the nonsense that religious say about death makes sense. Why did this happen? You wonder. Why is he and not me?We are born, we grow up and we die. That's the natural order of things. But there is also a second fact that I faithfully believe in. We can always change the way things end. We can always find a solution to a serious problem, turning it into nothing more than a slight headache. Skeptics call this fact Optimism, scientists call it Chaos Theory, and I call it luck.I was lucky once. I found her in the form of a policeman with sad eyes and a beautiful smile. My luck taught me more than I could learn in my entire free life. She taugh

A few years later“Every night, while I was just a girl, my grandmother used to sit next to me in bed reciting for me the same story of the princess of the seas that I'm about to tell...”"Oh, no, mom," grumbled the little girl with red and thick hair, with the blanket partially covering her small body at that moment. "I don't want to hear stories of princesses again. And Ariel's story isn't even that cool."Laughing, his twin brother agreed:"It's true, Mom. The stories are repeated every night. In addition, it is practically impossible for a girl to give up her legs for a boy," he yawned and supported a hand below his chin, as if his argument did not leave gaps for refutation. "Tell me more about how you and Dad met."I couldn't help but smile. My story with Zachary had been full of ups and downs, tragedies and happiness, but he had also given me an invaluable gift. The love of two children who were not in our plans, but became the axis of our worlds.At that time, we had been togeth

In the summer, a television program decided to sponsor meetings between strangers, offering vacancies for women to apply in search of finding the love of their lives.The registrations took place through the site, anonymously and safely, until, if your file was interesting enough to draw attention, the production of the program would get in touch and make a dinner on its own. Generally, in closed places and with the entire technical team on the backs of couples, where mostly they passed from men and women between the ages of twenty and thirty.No one persuaded me to try the chance to find true love in a reality show. Not even Kendall, whose obsession with finding me a boyfriend was already going beyond the limits. She said that being stuck at home, just writing and crying, would not help me find the love that I said so much existed in my stories. But she ignored it when I said I wrote so I wouldn't have to look for someone for real. My friend didn't understand that literary disappoint

One year later"Do you mean that now you write real novels? "As asked one of the men in the circle of girls.I nodded, pushing my hair away to my shoulders." Some people like to live love, I prefer to write about it.His face changed from curiosity to admiration in a snap of fingers. I had trained that answer in front of the mirror several times before that one. First because my family didn't seem to understand what my profession required of me, and then because it was the easiest answer to give in an interview. Short, thick, and at the same time what they would like to hear. My agent would be proud."A toast to success! "Said the blonde next to me, raising the full cup."Do not mix alcohol with medicines," advised the man next to him, pulling the cup to his own lips.The blonde stretched out to take the cup back, but the man leaned back and ran away from his reach. When she got tired, she sat on the chair and blew the strands of hair that fell on her face. A single reddish strand sho

Kendall had plotted that date. I had no doubt."Severe," he hesitated.Containing the nervousness in my body, I asked:“How are your sisters?" Well," he replied, swallowing dry. "Doniya is still in rehabilitation, but Waliyha and Safaa are happy to return home. My cousins are fine, safe.My eyes easily wrinkled by the wide smile I threw at him.“I’m happy for you, Zee.He returned the smile, a little awkward. She looked around, into the empty room, at Kendall sneaking in with a box in hand, and watched as she helped me look for any object of sentimental value in the mess of shards and shards of glass."Are you definitely moving to your father's house? "His voice faltered a little.I shook my head, looking away."No, I'll be back to France next week.If a needle fell to the ground, we would all listen, so obscenely quiet that the environment became."Dd't you... make peace with your family? "He asked in a soft, soft tone.I shrugged."Eeven if I still hated them, I wouldn't have much

The doorman greeted me as soon as I passed the family concierge and let Kendall drag my chair. I had never thrown more than one look at the ramp passage that went up to the floors, always running through the steps of the main staircase, but now, it was that path I needed to take.I entered my destroyed apartment turning the wheels of the chair with my own hands, because despite smiling, Kendall was pale and sweaty for taking me through the steep path. I didn't like to think that she felt she had an obligation to help me, and she did her best not to have to ask. But life is very different from the pink world when you lose the ability to be free, and depending on others is the only way to live.We don't even need a key to open the door, it was propped up, torn from its hinges. A police containment strip surrounded the room and fixed itself on the corners of the walls, at that moment filled by the cardboard boxes with things stored. The windows no longer had glass, the pots formed a dang

Six months laterI was told that if it weren't for a miserable brain activity, I would have died the first time my heart stopped beating.Six months earlier, after twenty-eight hours of kidnapping, I was admitted to the emergency room with clinical death, and the doctors brought me back. Part of me was already dead, while the other fought for another breath of life. I didn't see the light, nor any relatives who died a long time ago. I just died. More than once.The shots that hit my body charged their price. The one in my chest lodged between two of my ribs attached to the sternum, but did not hit my heart. On the other hand, the one in my spine had the same impact as a hammering in my bones; dragging and compressing tissues and vertebrae into a cone effect.It was scary to regain consciousness with a complete medical team about me, and, even worse, outside finding out the diagnosis. My legs were heavy, asleep and uncomfortable, when I was told it was a spinal cord injury at T12 level.

The news didn't talk about anything else. The mistake was to believe that it was a terrorist attack. Mocking the news, Kendall stroked his burnt arm, feeling a sudden itching in him. There was proof that the intentions of that massacre involved more than political and religious interests.No one could ever say that she was not the kind of person who put his hand on the fire for a friend. She put her whole arm for Mila! And if he would throw himself completely into a fire for Tristan. Thinking about it brought him hilarious pleasure, and ended up having to fight against the hysterical laughter that floated in his throat. I was already more than crazy just for all that damn wait.He didn't realize he fell asleep until he heard someone calling her softly. He swore to have heard Tristan's voice, but when he raised his head from the hard and rough seats on which he leaned, he realized that another man stood on the door frame of the open.Stefan Turner seemed more dejected than usual. The h
Master Of Desires 93 - Bonus (Kendall)
Have you ever had the feeling of not being useful to the world?Did you ever feel that no matter how good your intentions to people were, nothing seemed like enough? Did you feel that you could disappear, even in front of a crowd, and no one would worry about finding you? Have you ever thought how wonderful it would be to live the world that exists only inside your head? That reality only served to overshadow the brightness of your dreams?Because Kendall Reedy would have an affirmative answer to all these questions.I couldn't complain about the friends I had, but if I were to take into account all the years I had taken to meet those people who received her as a family, I would die regretting the terrible family life I had.She was the youngest daughter among many brothers. The only one who cared about the vices and consequences acquired by the parents, both detached from the behaviors acceptable to society. I paid to keep them alive, away from debts with trafficking or loans with ma

I heard the sirens, the well-known friction of wheels moving over the floor, lights flashing red and blue. However, I wanted to be able to say that I didn't need care. That I didn't feel the pain anymore. But she returned, this time, straight into my heart, when the stretcher passed me and supported a large body carried by two police officers who wore black helmets. Zachary was raised, unconscious and bathed in blood, practically faint.I couldn't see where all that blood came from, especially because my attention was called to the police officers who were returning from the open door, pulling the injured mobsters in tight handcuffs. Among those who wore dark vests and helmets with the acronyms of the FBI, I recognized the robust figure of Dennis, Zachary's co-worker.The policeman pulled with unnecessary brutality a person smaller than him, covered by black robes and with an arrogant air in his footsteps. When the person raised his head and found me being immobilized by the team of f
