40. THANKING THE FORCES
Last Updated:
2022-10-19 08:26:00"It's suspicious though so I've asked that the call line be traced." I listen to him keenly. If the land was an abandoned piece of land, that means that the forests were definitely out of bounds as well.
"I think he's doing this as some sort of PR. To gain relevance of some sort.” Officer Steve added to the long information he gave me.
A guy with an impressive height soon came to us, walking from God knows where because I didn't see him anywhere close since I was here. He reaches where we are standing soon.
His face is familiar and I think I must have seen him before but I do not remember until he opens his mouth to speak. Then, recognition came. He's Steve's guy. He was there until the day Debby was first arrested.
"Captain,“ he called with reverence in his tone. “We cross-checked. We could not find anything. There were no fingerprints left. Everything on that island wa

My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 41. SHE'S ALIVE
When Debby woke up, she was adrift. Her clothes stuck to her body like fragrance to flower petals, causing her skin to show through the once opaque clothes she didn't know how she got into. Her hair was all over and she was immediately reminded of what happened the night before.Of Leo's kisses and his licks. She felt her legs tighten again as they did for most of last night.She had returned his energy and roamed her hands all over his delicious body, going on to match him with her kisses.Debby looked around for him but couldn't find him anywhere inside the tent.But that wasn't the problem. The problem was that everywhere seemed strange. Like she wasn't in the same place she was yesterday.But she soon understood when she looked around some more, that she was in no tent. Rather, she was beside the waterside, drenched in saltwater.E

By the time they got to Hamburg, it was late in the night. They met Jacob waiting at the police station.He ran into his sister's arms as soon as he laid his eyes on her. Jacob held her tightly, unwilling to let go, tears threatening to spill out of his eyes. The witnesses could see his obvious struggle to not cry."I'm fine. I'm here." Debby kept on saying, as she stroked his wide back. She took a second to wonder why her brother was seemingly increasing in grith and height. He seemed wider and taller than the last time she saw him.Or maybe it was just because it's been a short while.Debby understood how Jacob felt. Flipping the circumstances, Debby didn't want to picture what she'd do or the kind of frenzy she would go into if anything ever happened to Jacob.In fact, she was already in a lot of doubt and suspicion whenever he was away from home for a few da

"What? Do you want to tell me if you remember anything that happened? Are you sure you're in the right headspace to talk right now? Remember, you can take all the time you need." Sophia said, switching her cup of tea to her right hand and reaching out for Debby's hand with the other.It was warm and comforting to Debby, this singular gesture of Sophia's."I'm okay," Debby affirmed."I freaked out on that day. I called you over again. I kept calling you once Jake informed me that the police were at your place and the Gayville community hospital, asking for you. You weren't picking your calls up so I was hella worried.""I understand now why you called me that much," Debby replied, with a small smile."Do you want to talk? If you do, then I suggest you want to replay everything and start from the beginning. From the night before your arrest.""I was
Last Updated : 2022-10-22My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 44. A SUBTLE SUSPENSION?
It's been 4 days since Debby returned home and she's not heard from him.Not from Sebastian the regular human or Leo the thief.Both identities seemed to have just disappeared into thin air.She resumed work against great opposition from Sophia and Jake and at work, she kept on getting several glances, from people looking at her funny. These were mostly people who didn't have the boldness to walk up to her. Others simply, especially people she hadn't ever talked with, seized the opportunity to sympathize with her about what happened."I do not understand why you're here. You should be home, resting!" Doctor Brian said as he laid eyes upon her in the common room. "You are here, working like your job is more important than your life."Debby wasn't exactly bothered by all of their talks and actions. What bothered the most was how to start looking for her dad's paper.&n

Debbie looked at him. It was difficult to see Lucas in the same light especially as she got to know his true self from Sebastian.On one hand, he was her Boss, and then on the other, he was Sebastian's cousin. A light went off in her head when she remembered what Sebastian told her about him trying to hijack the hospital from him.A lot of things seemed different about him.Well, apart from the fact that he's a jerk. That one was an everlasting unchanging part of him. But she was still thinking of what to reply when she heard him say, "so, on that note, I have decided to suspend you. Until the investigations are done with."Debby's brows arched in shock."Excuse me, I didn't quite get that." Debby began, standing straight, her voice changing from easy to thick and serious. "What do you mean, suspend? Why should I be suspended? I was involved in a misunderstanding and life-t

It was hella difficult for Debby to move through the rest of her working day when something as huge as the weight of what she just learned sitting heavily on her shoulders.When she was done by evening, without even her usual gay goodbyes, and without even knowing how she packed her stuff into her bag, she went.She went home.And no, not Sophia's house. But the apartment she lived in with Jacob.Drawing closer to the building, after she finally arrived at Gayville, Debby was reminded of what Sebastian said concerning the ownership of the building.Just like that, she was a building owner? She was just minding her business and just like that, she's now a landlady of a two-story building situated on a promising land? She even wondered if he bought just the building or the building as well as the piece of land it was erected upon.Debby couldn't bring her

Debby spent her break the following day at work, after work, reading up on leukemia and its forms and causes.This bloody blood cancer.She went ahead to look at her family history. Someone in her family had blood cancer and of course, that someone was her dad. He was said to have died and she began to wonder if her dad had leukemia long before he gave birth to her.Because, if that was the case, then probably she must have inherited a faulty gene from him but then again, she wondered how long he's been with the faulty gene.That was the only explanation for this occurrence. She began to be curious about how her father could have gotten cancer in the first place.Debby looked up all forms of blood cancer. Yes, she was a doctor and should know already but the depth she went to with studying the illness, it could be understood that there was a hunger in her soul to find some sort o

"Excuse me, but that's none of your business young lady.""What do you mean by that, old man? I want to see very good things happen before I die. Plus, you get to enjoy sweet and delicious meals like this if you're married. I don't understand how you've not asked her on a date all these past years."But the man had ignored everything else she said, halting the gathering of the takeaways he was doing and looking at her square in the face, "are you dying, Debby?"She had gulped. "Uhm, No." She said, defensively. "Even though we all die a little every day." The man arched a brow as if to say she was spewing nonsense so she added, "Take what happened with my abduction for example. I could be long dead. It just comes suddenly. Do you know what they say about life coming at you suddenly? Yeah, the same thing applies to death.""I'll ask her to when the time is right." Was the next thing she heard the docto

My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 134. I PRAY THIS IS THE END OF IT ALL!
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
My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 131. GETTING CAUGHT
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
My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 126. YOU ARE FIRED!
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
