31. AN AWFUL COMBINATION
Last Updated:
2022-10-11 11:39:00Of all people, Joan is not the one I want to be intervening in my case.
To think I was trying to not run into her. Now, I'm caught up in this mess and she's here.
My panic and rush were all for nothing.
"What are you doing here? This is absolutely none of your business so just go away." I murmur to the side, where she stood. She has no right to come to my aid. This is my matter and I can handle it myself.
But the annoying woman remains standing, her gaze anywhere but mine. I can see amusement in her eyes as if she knows that I was trying to avoid her when I got myself into this mess. Just before I say another word, Brian, the first colleague I related with as soon as I got here this morning, came to stand next to us.
"I'm sorry Mr. Halloway" he began with a bow of his head. "She's new and she's my junior. I should have thought her well."
Brian took a na

Morning crawled upon me silently.All night, I was in the theater and only made my way out only at one am.A young man was brought to the hospital in an ambulance. He was a victim of a drunk driver's reckless driving and he had to go into surgery immediately because he had his gut opened and his blood was staining the floors of the emergency room.I was scared. Claire informed me that there was no doctor around that could attend to him right away."What do you mean? Surely there must be a surgeon on call." I yelled when I came into the room."There is none. We believe he has an internal organ ruptured and if we don't wheel him inside right now, we might lose him."The man was groaning out loud in pain and James, one of the attending doctors was already cutting his clothes in half with a pair of scissors. Somehow, I wondered how his consciousness hadn't

He came for me.There's a gut feeling within me. It is him. It's Leo.Each of the officers by my side looks at me. They have suspicion written all over their face with every distance this biker accelerating towards us covers.With a shrug, I shook my head at their glare, to tell them that I do not know anything about what was happening.They do not believe me. Because they are pinning me against the back seat in the next second and asking, "who is that guy? Where is the fucking paper?"I wasn't going to believe anything Leo ever said to me.But maybe he's right. Even if I don't want to believe him, maybe he's still right. Because I mean, he's a thief and would know better since he must have encountered and escaped a lot of police officers.On this one though, I have to turn around my resolve and believe him. It's true.

Light seeped through the space in the tent. Slowly, she batted her eyes open and the rays of light caused her to close them back. Deborah rolled over to her size and soon, she was jerking up to the sound of iron against iron. She took her environment in and saw that she was in a foreign place. Like a gazebo, the roof of the room she was in was covered with palm fronds. Like a tent, the room enclosed her and shielded her away from the outside. It was not heaven. There were no beautiful creatures with wings neither was she in a pit of fire. The first fact she established was that she was not dead. That was the only thing she figured out. But she could not take away the distinct sound hitting her ears from outside. Her head felt heavy and light at the same time and she could not picture everything her eyes saw properly. But she was surprised. Memories hit her left right and center. Her hands made their way to her neck as she remembered Leo's firm grip around it. How was she not dead

His expression tightened up. "I told you I'm not looking for the paper.""I'm not thirteen, Leo. You are. You should at least be truthful to me. I've had my life under threat because of you.""That's why I've been coming to your rescue. I didn't mean for any of this to happen.""Oh hell yeah, you didn't," Debby replied, scoffing. "How long have you held me hostage?""You fell unconscious the minute your head touched the water. You've been asleep for two days.""What?" She exclaimed, to which he nodded, confirming what he said earlier. "What the fuck? I've been here for days? Aren't the police looking for me?""They are." He said, putting a bit of fish in his mouth and chewing it gently. Debby's stomach rumbled again. She was slightly reminded of the hunger she felt on the day she has whisked away from the hospital. "They are going to need some more days

"Just something." He raised a shoulder again."My father's paper. That's what you're looking for. If you aren't, then why did you stay around me, watch me, and know the kinds of panties I wear?"Sebastian laughed again. "What? The kinda panties you wear?" He said, laughing. "I never said that.""Yeah, I just figured that since you know everything about me, you might as well know the type of soap and panties I use."The man laughed some more, his voice filling her ears and bringing ease to her heart. It was there again, the stupid feeling of ease, instead of panic."More than the paper, I need something else from you," Sebastian said, his voice taking a serious note."So we agree now that you were true, looking for the paper," Debby said, triumph lacing her tone. "Whose life depends on it?"He turned to her as if surprised that she r

"C'mon, don't be sly. What else could happen if not sleep? Get your mind out of the gutter. I was simply being kind." She replied.As if he knew that she was the one with her mind drenched in sweet filth, he moved his face even closer, smiling.Debby swallowed. Her heart was racing wildly with the expectation of what was to come. They were alone. On a deserted island. The ambiance was just right and they were already both half-naked."We both know that I am not the one with the naughty thoughts." He said, gently rubbing his nose against hers, teasing her. "But I'm not going to fall for your lure. Not right now" He added, before taking his face away. Once he was in the sitting position, he helped her sit on the bed.Debby thought that he was crazy. That was close. So close. He should have simply kissed her. Why leave here aching with need?She on one hand didn't ordinarily have th

One would have thought it was the night breeze from the sea that sipped into the tent in waves but she knew, Debby knew that this chill was from her insides, inspired only by the power of Sebastian's lips against her own porous skin."But we're stuck here in this dense forest. Wait, don't even know what to refer to this place as. Anyways, we're here. I can't help you here. I have to get back home. But that is also tricky. It remains that I'm working with you.""No, you're not. Right now, you're the victim that rouge bad guy Leo has taken hostage. Everyone's trying to find you and rescue you from the danger that I pose.""Okay?" Debby asked, unsure of what he was saying."I'll take you back. In one piece too. Then no one would even suspect you anymore. Instead, you'd be having their sympathy.""Okay?" Debby said again, urging him to go on."You'd forget

It's been two days and I have been staking out, making the central police station my second home.I've had to be in the presence and company of officer Steve. The hunk of a man and his team did and are still doing their best to find her but it just was not enough for me. The past few days have been hell for me. Debby was gone and nowhere to be found. I didn't think that a simple outing would result in something as bad and serious as this. My phone begins to ring and look to see the caller.Jacob. I answer the call, slowly moving the phone to my ears, standing up as well, and taking a few steps away from where I was sitting with two police officers.“Hey, Jakey.“ I said into the phone, trying my best to sound bright and hopeful. "What's up with you today, huh?”“I am not okay. Heard anything new yet? They keep saying they'll find her and we haven't heard anything from the

When my phone started ringing, I had the least intuition that it was going to be another twist of events.Now my brother is taken. Since I came to know about this paper, it has been nothing but heartache.“They have my brother,” I announced to Sebastian and Walter after getting off the phone.“Shit!” he cussed.We drive silently for a while, no one was talking. My mind was on freeing my brother and nothing else. They had asked for the Rubik’s cube and the necklace in exchange for him. I have nothing to lose if I hand them over to them. They said they are calling in the next two hours to tell me where to meet them and I must come alone and tell no one. That’s exactly what I am going to do, not even Sebastian would stop me from this.“Don’t worry. I will get your brother back to you with no harm done to him,” Sebastian had assur

Mr. Edwards noticed the look on Lucas’ face. “What is it?” Mr. Edwards asked curiously.“The Rubik’s cube is gone! Yet my office did not look like it was mobbed when I got in this morning! So how did he gain entrance in?”“He played you by using Ace as a distraction to get in,” Jack said.With the Rubik’s cube in hand of Sebastian, Lucas and his grandfather knew that the Halloways Company is bound to fall, just like Leo took out other companies if nothing is done.“Involving police and asking me to standby last night was the biggest mistake you made, Mr. Edwards,” Jack said. “I have my boy, trailing both Sebastian and Debby since they met at the Wreakin’ club. I am the only one that knows how he operates. I would have gotten him last night if I was allowed but you said you don’t trust me.”M

The next morning at the police station, Ace is sitting in the interrogation room. Shortly, Officer Steve walked into the room with a folder and dropped it on the table in front of Ace.“I thought you were the good guy until you started killing innocent people,” Officer Steve said as he sat opposite Ace.Ace chuckled. “You got the wrong guy!” Ace said.Officer Steve looked at him for a while then said, “The records in front of you said otherwise.”“Your records might be correct. But they are not talking about me, they are talking about Leo, and I am not Leo.”“So who are you?”“I am Ace! A-C-E! in case you can’t spell it.”“The information that reached us last night said that Leo was invading the Halloways Hospital. If you are not Leo, then what are you doi

As I wanted to leave the room, my eyes fell on a Rubik’s cube set on a sizable fridge in the corner. “I have seen something like that,” I thought. I tried to remember where and when but I could not so I decided to forget about it and leave.But as I made to go out, my mind was still on the Rubik’s cube. It was as if there was a rope tied to me from the Rubik’s cube, making my going out without dragging it along impossible. So I decided to carry it along.Just as I stepped out of the room to go, I felt a piece of metal touch my head. As I turned, there was Joan with a gun. She moved backward to leave some space between us.“What are you doing with a gun, Joan?”“Nothing. I just want that Rubik’s cube.”“And why should I give it to you?”“Because I have a gun. If you don’t give
My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 130. MOBBING THE HALLOWAYS
When Sebastian initially approached the building, there was no sign of policemen around, not even the hospital security. Not seeing any security in sight only meant one thing to him; they cleared everywhere just to lure him into the building easily, so they could lock down the building and hem him in. But he was not going to make it that easy for them.“This is going to be tougher than I thought.”That was why he changed his plan and decided to create some panic by going behind the building to the powerhouse to knock out the power source.But just when he turned to go, a bright halogen light flashed at him, and every darkness that hid him before left!“Shit! I just caught made before I even started,” Sebastian muttered.“Oh! It’s you!” Ace said and turned off the torch.“Ace what are you doing?”

Sebastian and Debby kept arguing without making any progress. She was determined to go.“You don’t have to be worried about my safety,” Sebastian said. “Jack and Ace are going with me. I already notified them. So you just rest right here.”“If you are going down, I want to be there to go down with you. I’m ready to take this risk.”Debby felt it was a risk worth taking, besides she has cancer anyway. Dying from a bullet or getting caught is better than dying slowly of cancer.“Even if you stop me from going with you, I will still come after you. I love you too much to let you walk right into the danger zone all alone,” Debby persisted.“You are so stubborn,” Sebastian taunted her.“Oh yeah!” Debby chuckled and put her arm on his neck then continued, “A trait I picked up

Mr. Edwards brandished the gun with a mischievous smile on his face then said, “I sent you to do business for me and you were not afraid to run away with my money? You deserve not to be heard but to be killed!”Jack knew what he did. He knew Mr. Edwards was not blabbing. He knew what he can do.“Now tell me why I should not shoot you right now for betraying my trust for you and running away with my money?” Mr. Edwards threatened.Jack was unmoved. “That’s why I’m here,” he said. “I am tired of running. I want to be free, I want to be able to pay you back all the money I stole from the company.”“And you are sure you will be able to pay that money even in your entire lifetime?”“The information I brought is worth more than your entire company. That is nothing compared to whatever I’m owing.&r
My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 127. THE TEARS
When Debby walked through the hospital that day with her things, everyone was looking at her, wondering why she was packing. She was so ashamed.Her life since she joined that hospital kept going up and down, from one trouble to another and now she is been sacked.“Life has been fucking unfair to me. So fucking unfair!” she cussed under her breath.From the corner of her eyes, she could see Joan smiling at her as she made her way through the door. She is probably happy that she lost once again. It was only Brian that came to help her with her things. He stood with her until she entered a taxi and left.She had wanted to go home to pick up her necklace after work before going over to Sebastian’s place but no more. The pain she was feeling was so much that only a good cry with her head on his broad chest could be the only remedy. If it were before, she would be thinking of going

It was a Monday morning already. It’s almost two days since Sophia my friend lured me to a club and made me get drunk. All through the weekend, I didn’t go home apart. I had several calls from Jakes saying he wanted to see me but after getting drunk, all the promises I made of coming home to see him were history.But there was something else. Before I left Sebastian’s house for work, he told me to stay away from my house as much as possible and also try to get Jakes to do so. I agreed. But I know I lied to him. I might not be going home to sleep, for the time being, moreover, I like being with him at all times. But I cannot let my necklace in the room. I need to get it.My dad gave it to me a few days before he died. He told me I would be needing that necklace one day but never told me why nor do I know what it would be useful for apart from just wearing it as an ornament.That’s
