GregI got discharged the following day, only Jeremiah by my side because my sister had to go to work and Bella was busy, and he closed the passenger door behind me after I got into his car."Are you feeling better?"I nodded, smiling.He has asked me that question about a million times already."I am.""Your apartment, right?""Yes."I nodded and waited for him to start the engine before speaking, "So I couldn't properly apologize because of everything that happened. Sorry for missing your sister's housewarming party.""Oh." He glanced at me and back at the road."No. It's fine. I called and heard you were exhausted from some work.""Work?""He didn't tell you?""Huh?" I pursed my lips and shook my head."Some guy picked up the phone when I called and went on about how exhausted you were from doing a lot of work the previous night, therefore your inability to come to the phone.""Some guy?"Wait, what?There's no way.There's no way Kael picked up my call and spoke to Jeremiah."Oh,
KaelGod, my limbs feel heavy, so also my eyes that I tried to open after a moment of just feeling and hearing sounds.Fuck, my chest hurts.I could feel the pain just from breathing.Then there was the nausea I could feel rising.I finally managed to open my eyes, which had stayed glued together, before glancing around.Blurry, blurry, clear.Okay, there's a ceiling, then wires.A beeping machine, and is that a hospital gown?I winced and groaned when I tried to move on the bed."Kael!"Gosh, that was loud."Kael?"The owner of the voice popped into my point of view, blocking the light, and I sighed when I saw who it was."Lyra."She smiled and started sobbing for some reason."I'm so glad you're alive."Yeah, I'm glad too.Was I meant to die?I raised my head and tried to move on the bed again until another head popped into my face."Don't move too much. The doctor advised so."Greg.He glanced up and tried to move away after helping me sit up slightly.I drew him back to me and yel
GregMy routine went back to normal after Kael got discharged from the hospital, my schoolwork, up to date, my work life, back in balance even though the HR complained for a while about my sudden absence, and Kael went back to Barcelona, where he was based after a full month.I wondered what was next in our relationship now.Should I call it that?A relationship.Well, we had both accepted that it was just more than sex for us, and he definitely had made it clear that he didn't want me around my boss anymore.It had been cute and adorable to see.Kael, jealous.Never would I have imagined that.Everyone in the office glanced up and stared when a guy in all black stepped into the general office with a large bouquet in his hands."Mr. Greg Fisher."I stood up and walked over to him, puzzled."I am he.""This is for you then." He handed the flowers over after asking me to sign on a paper, and I all but turned crimson when I turned around to see everyone looking at me, including Jeremiah,
KaelI smirked, elated when I saw the number across my phone screen.He must have seen the house already."Hello, hon.""What is this?""What?""This. The house. You don't actually mean it, right?""The fact that you own the house. I do. The papers are in the drawers in the first room upstairs, and your sister's fees have been paid.""What made you think you could make that decision behind my back?!""What?"I felt the smile fade off my face. "Don't you like it?""It's not that. Spending money on me is nice, but you should have spoken to me first. My sister doesn't even know you yet, and you what? What am I meant to tell her?"To be honest, I didn't even think that far, but he doesn't have to sound so upset, does he?I frowned and raised an eyebrow when he cut the call."Huh?"Is he really that annoyed?The thought of him being angry with me at all didn't just sit right with me.I immediately dialed a number, "Didn't you advise me to buy him things?"I waited for Lyra to say something
GregGia was still as flabbergasted when she returned an hour later from wherever she went, and she stared at me for a while."You have successfully managed to traumatize me even more than our parents ever did."I can only imagine."I'm sorry."She sat on the kitchen counter and collected the cup of water I was about to drink."So who is he? A fling? Your boyfriend?"Boyfriend?I would love to call him that, but he hasn't asked me and probably wouldn't, so..."A... Situationship."She pursed her lips and stared, "So stuck in between, to be precise?""Kind of."She placed the glass on the counter when she finished and wiped her mouth. "Are you sure you want to do that, though?"I shrugged and leaned against the counter. "We like each other, so...""And you?" I asked when we both went silent."What?""Is anybody in the picture?""No. I'm still trying to get my life together."Right..."Besides, I won't keep it from you if I do get one later.""Hmm..."It was kind of a pact we made when
GregWe went to his apartment after we finished eating, the ride filled with mumblings and kisses as a designated driver drove, and we both stumbled into his apartment when we got there.I wasn't even sure what the place looked like; I was just focused on this man that was now my boyfriend.Kael or Benjamin Clarke.I couldn't help the smile that spread across my face.I hadn't even been expecting the question at all considering the fact that it had seemed like he was never going to ask, thanks to the whole situation, but he had, and I'm glad.I pushed him onto the bed and slid down his body till I was face to face with his tight trousers."Fuck." His face beamed.I smirked.Yeah, that's right.He just had a way of responding to me that always made me feel powerful. Like he lost all control when he was around me, and I was determined to make him lose it even more tonight.He relaxed against the bed and helped me take off his trousers before spreading his legs again, and I got to suckin
GregI resigned from Hurley Fashion House at the same time I finished with my course at the institute I was studying at, and the first person to wish me congratulations was my sister. She was back in school now, thanks to Greg and his generosity constantly, and the next people that came to celebrate me were my friends, Bella and Lyra at the graduation ceremony in the school."Finally, you're the designer you've always wanted to be.""Yup. I am."I couldn't believe it.Studying business management has been one of the many ideas of my parents that stuck with me, but fashion has been something I've loved since I was a kid."Where is Kael, or isn't he coming?"The million-dollar question.I glanced around again for the hundredth time amongst the other family and friends who came to celebrate their loved ones but still didn't see him.He didn't even call to say he would be late or anything, or maybe something came up.I smiled with Lyra and tried to stomp the disappointment."Let's go tak
GregLyra and Adrian finally picked a date for their wedding a month after I moved to Barcelona, which was also around the time she gave birth, and I went back to Rome to help with the preparations.The guest list, the gown, the cake, the invitation design, then the venue.Adrian had already decided on Thailand with her, and they put together their guests from both sides.It wasn't up to a hundred.First of all, because of attention—they didn't want that—and second of all, because they just want to have the moment with close family and friends.I loved the whole theme and vibe and teared up even more when she went for her first fitting with the designer.Jolene Craig. One of the best designers in Italy.She looks so beautiful.Bella agreed too.The lace, the shape, she accentuated all of that with her aura.I just couldn't wait to see Adrian's expression when he sees her.Next was the cake, which we helped pick the design of, and we chose the outfits for the bridesmaids, us, and Betha
Quinn"Here are your things." An officer said as I moved towards the door, which would lead outside to the main gates, and I collected the wallet and phone right before stepping out.Ah, finally.I'm out.After two years.It had been a long time, but it had definitely helped me reflect on a lot of things.Like how to make fewer mistakes.I couldn't believe it was just a scratch that got me here.But I had gotten a mission within, so...I packed my hair into a messy ponytail and sighed when I checked the time on my phone.I have just about thirty minutes.That wasn't a lot of time, so...I got to work.Setting the bait, then getting into the car that had been parked for me a few miles away from the prison gates, and I waited.One minute.Five minutes.Ring ring.Ring ring.The alarm I had set on my phone started to ring after exactly ten minutes, and I sat up in the driver's seat once I turned it off.Hmm, they should be here any moment from now.I took the .45 caliber semi-automatic p
BellaThe following days were a repetition of the past few days.Wake up, shower, eat, mingle around the field, get bullied, work in the kitchen, do some homemade workout I learned, shower, eat, then sleep.I hardly had conversations with my cellmate since she was always to herself, and I rarely backed down for my bullies.I hated bullies, and I made sure to let them know.The next morning, though, went a different way because some bullies thought it wise to harass me while bathing.It happened suddenly.Hands groping me while I tried to clear the soap from my eyes and some grabbing my breast while at it."You bitches!"They held me and tried to take me to a corner where they could do God knows what until we all paused.One hand left me.Another.Then there were thuds around me.I wasn't sure what was going on as I had soap in my eyes, and I felt a stronger hand grab me after a minute.Water.Oh, thank God.Then I opened my eyes.It was my cellmate, and the other ladies in the bathroo
Bella"Sì. E tu?" Yes. You? I asked as I remained in my position.She sat up and raised an eyebrow. "What do you think?"Oh great, she can speak English and seems pretty good at it too."I don't know. You tell me.""Smart." She said as she stood up to take a few steps towards me.I tried my best not to step back."Not making assumptions. It's a good approach to living in jail here and might just help you live longer than a week."I gasped and tried to stop her when she suddenly pulled the hair tie off my hair.My hair fell in a cascade around my shoulders. I should have gotten that haircut before all this."Thanks." She said as she pulled her hair up into a messy ponytail."Why would you do that?"She didn't reply as she went back to lying down and closing her eyes, and I scoffed.Okay, rude.I tried to access her again."You didn't answer my question, though."She didn't say anything again.I wondered what the answer might be.Her first time or second time.Or wait, she could have be
BellaUgh, I couldn't believe I got caught after everything.The ship, the motels, the tunnels, and wearing the freaking hoodie I've been wearing everywhere I go.The police still caught me on entering the country."You have a right to a lawyer...." Blah blah, and blah, and all that, they said when they handcuffed me, and they threw me into this van.I sighed and tried to adjust my wrist in the handcuffs even though there was literally no space."Stop moving." The man beside me snapped and stared, and I scowled for a minute before averting my gaze from him.At least it was the police who had caught me, not them, so I was still better off."Get down."I did so with the help of the officer when we got to the FBI office, and they dragged me along till I was seated in an empty room with grey walls and a single table in the midst of it.I stared at the single window or mirror in the room, which I knew the officers were just staring at me from the other side, and I smiled."Let's get this o
And we've come to the end of Greg and Kael's story🥳🎉🤭.Thanks for all the reads and support. I appreciate it.I also want to know what you all think?Did you like the story?Did it meet your expectations?The next and last story will be that of Bella and I really hope you enjoy it.Ruthiana.
