Hayden “ Come on we are going to be late guys, Kayden will start his presentation very soon.” I tap my fingers on the table impatiently. When we turned eighteen earlier this year, Kayden was finally able to get his tech company launched which we are all supposed to be attending but Mum and Dad seem to be having time in reverse. “We are coming! Pick Maya up please” Mum says and I roll my eyes. Maya may be my little sister but she can be annoying as hell as right now, I want to be on my best behavior because beauty will be there today. “No Mum, Maya will misbehave and I want to impress Beauty,” I complain earning a chuckle from Dad who walks towards me and ruffles my hair making my frown and irritation disappear. As Kyaden and I grow older, the more we look exactly like Dad so I’m even able to tell how I’ll look years from now and I must say, it’s not such a bad thing. “She will gain you more points. Women find men who babysit attractive.” Mum says but I shake my head. “You’re goi
Three months later: Nina The church is decorated beautifully. There are white roses along the aisle, making it smell sweet. Candles have been lit, giving the church a warm glow. At the front, there is a pretty arch with white fabric and flowers. I peep through the window to ensure everything is perfect despite Emily who is my maid of honor telling me everything is perfect. It’s been three months since that incident that shook my life. I wasn’t panicking like I normally would but being on the verge of death twice made me realise something, that I don’t want to waste any second longer so the moment we reached home, I told Theo I wanted to get married. At first, he laughed and thought I was joking until he realized that I was serious. It took three months because he first wanted to make sure all the overseas offices were working perfectly before setting up his headquarters right here in New York. My girls had lost it when they realized that I was attacked twice but they knew that som
Theo “So you think this is over?” My uncle’s text reads making me grind my teeth in irritation. I’m about to respond but my sweet angel’s voice pulls me from the text. “Let me visit the restroom.” She says and I offer her a smile as I try not to show the displeasure that I’ve just received on such a happy day. “Okay, Princess,” I respond and she walks toward the restroom. Too many minutes pass as I start growing uncomfortable so I walk to the restroom. To check on what has gone wrong. When I get there it’s awfully quiet. “Nina?” I shout but I’m met with a silent response. “Nina!” I shout the second time but I don’t wait for her response when I walk into the ladies and find her purse and her phone on the floor. My heart beats loudly as the realization of what has just happened hits me. My uncle has taken my girl! My heart is pounding in my chest as I realize what has happened. I thought stripping him off his title and announcing his retirement would make him live in a corner but
Nina "A date mmmm, Maybe he'll propose!" Lily says excitedly but I shake my head. "We've joked a few times about it but I'm not sure he's ready. Any way guys, it's just an ordinary dinner nothing too crazy or extra!" I pause and look at the girls who are all looking at me with raised eyebrows. Because of our crazy schedules, we promised to always call each other on video so that we never miss a day in each other's lives. Kate is awfully quiet which makes me feel uneasy. "Kate is something wrong?" I ask making her shoot her eyes up with a shake of the head. "No, I'm sorry guys. There is this story that is giving me a headache. Nina, whether he proposes today or next year, Theo loves you and I don't think there is anyone else he'd rather do life with." A blush creeps my cheeks at Kate's words. I'm about to respond when I hear a car, "Okay girls, I've got to!" I shout as I quickly hang up and rush downstairs. As Theo's car pulls up to my house, I feel a flutter of excitement in my
One year later: Nina "This is great Nina, I'm so happy for you!" My manager says as we look at the list of how many pre-orders we have for the new book. It's like a dream come true. One which I didn't think was possible especially with how scared I was before I decided to give my dream a chance! I smile at her, "Thank you so much Miss Fanwell for believing in me and giving me this incredible chance." "No problem sweetheart, let's make today a success too!" She claps her hands together as we get the ball rolling. I take a seat at my table and start signing the pre-orders while we wait for 10 AM to open the doors. I run a smooth hand on my paperback and my heart swells with emotions. With a smile on my face, I take a picture and post it on I*******m for the first time in a year. After my Dad attacked me, I had been so paranoid and couldn't post my picture anywhere especially after I discovered how he found me. Social media can be a dangerous place to post most of your life. I'd leav
Emily I don’t know how much time has passed since I locked myself into my room but I can’t go out there yet. Not until I’m certain of the threat I just received. A soft knock at the door makes me panic as I think of a way out “I’ll be there just a minute.” I shout. As I’m about to stand, my phone vibrates and when I see Liam’s name flash on my screen my heart beats so fast. What if someone just found it and they want to give me bad news? With a shaking hand, I swipe right. “Hello?” My voice comes out shaken. “Baby? Are you okay?” comes Liam’s voice and my heart rests instantly replacing my fear with anger. “Why didn’t you pick up? I thought. I thought.” Tears start to fall on my face as all the possible scenarios return but I don’t know how to say it without him being angry at the fact that I kept the threats hidden from him for the past three months. “I had to take care of something. You won’t be receiving any threats anymore. I found the one behind it. Let’s talk about it whe
Liam After an hour-long drive, I finally reach a normal-looking house which I’m guessing is under another name and if anything happens here, no one will know, making a smile stretch across my face. This is about to get very interesting! I walk to the front door and open it carefully, the last thing I want is to be tied to a chair and put my kids in danger especially since I came here without backup. But I have a few friends nearby and they will be more than glad to help out. Pushing the door open, I step inside, scanning the dimly lit room. "Anderson, where are you?" I call out. The house is so empty, my voice echoes. I take a seat on the couch as I wait for the man of the hour to show up. "Liam, I'm glad you came," Anderson says, his voice calm but I can taste his fear at the tip of my tongue. I nod at him as he takes a seat on the other side. “You look better.” I begin and he chuckles but it’s a forced laugh. As I look at him clearly, I can tell he is having a hard time and h
Liam After leaving Theo’s office yesterday, I had to visit Dad and tell him what I was up to, and when he gave me the go-ahead, I knew I had to end this once and for all. I walk into the board room where the meeting is expected to be held. After digging some dirt for Smith shareholders, I was able to buy off their shares making me the largest shareholder with 51%. Victoria’s father wasn’t expecting to see me so when I stepped into the board room he looked at me in furry. “This is a shareholder’s meeting! “ He announces but I ignore him and sit on his opposite end. I want to see how his face will look while I strip him of everything he holds precious. “I’m well aware.”I smile. His assistant must have caught on because he leans in and whispers something to him which turns his face pale. I clear my throat as I stand and button up my jacket slowly. Everyone looks nervous because they didn’t expect me to be here and I know they’ve heard about me especially since some are the people I
Emily “We will try all we can. But we cannot operate on him until the payment is made. We are very sorry.” Says the doctor as he gives us the results for Dad who just had a heart attack. I stand hopelessly as the reality hits me that we cannot afford to pay Dad’s bills. “We will think of something.” Lewis tries to remain positive and I nod my head absentmindedly. Because he is only fourteen and I don’t want him to know more than he does already. My legs are a puddle of jelly but somehow, I manage to walk back into Dad’s hospital room. Tears roll down my face as I watch him sleep. He has tubes in his mouth and a machine that is keeping him alive. The bip sound is a constant relief which is a signal to show that he is alive. The ones they will remove if we don’t make the payment. A little voice reminds me and my heart clenches painfully. It hurts to see the strongest man I know rely on a machine. He has been our hero and our protector and now he is on the verge of being taken away....
