TAYLOR MACKENZIE We got to the car and Mark carefully lowered me into it. "Behave," he said and just as immediately as the words came out, he slammed the door shut and got into the driver's seat. The car drove off with two other cars trailing from behind and I wondered what the company was for. "Why are we being followed?" I asked. Mark didn't answer me and I scoffed, he was an asshole. "Do you dispise this place that much?" "Well, from what happened earlier, I think you should have had your answer already." "Listen, trying to escape won't help you. You-" "Don't try to convince me, I'm not staying." "You cannot get away from Mayor, Taylor. No matter how you run, this is his city, it's impossible for you to hide from him and if... If someone helps you escape, that person will be killed. His family, relatives, Mayor will find all of them. So, don't look at us as monsters, we're just trying to save our heads." I exhaled, why should I believe him when they were all loyal.

TAYLOR MACKENZIEI raised brow. "Really?" I asked, standing to my feet and dusting my clothes before leaning on the edge of the bed to support myself. "You seem to know alot about me, Mark. Tell me, what else do you know?""That you want vengeance for Diego Salvatore, whom Mayor killed."I became silent, my defiance faltering as I heard him speak. "I did some research, Taylor. However, fighting Mayor won't give you what you want?"I lowered my gaze, shutting my eyes close. "What must I do?""Do you trust me?" He asked and I looked up at him, meeting his gaze. "Bullshit, I don't even know you." "You don't have to. All you have to say is yes, you don't need to know someone to trust the person." "But I.." I stopped, struggling with the conflicting emotions swirling inside me. "I.." "You should take some time to think about your choices. Mayor’s patience is wearing thin, and if you persist in your escape attempts, the consequences will be severe.”I inhaled. My hands clenching at bot

TAYLOR MACKENZIEMayor dropped the cigar and drink at the same time and stood up. His presence was as commanding as ever, his dark eyes studying me with an inscrutable expression. Mark stepped forward and whispered something into his ears. Mayor's gaze didn't leave me and when Mark was done, he walked away, so did all other guards.I gulped. I didn't like this, why would I be alone with him. He started approaching me with a measured calmness and almost immediately, he spoke. "I trust you’re feeling better?" My fist clenched at both my sides, his voice was smooth but carried an undertone of authority.I gulped again, nodding as my eyes flickered slightly. "Yes, I’m fine.""Good," he said, his gaze piercing. "I heard you tried escaping that's why it happened."I Inhaled deeply. "Yes, that's what happened. I was unlucky this time around, but I know I'll-""You're lucky my mood isn't messed up, Taylor," he cut me. "Today, I got a huge deal, you want to know whom it's from?""I have no

TAYLOR MACKENZIE"How did you get in? I locked the door," I said to Mayor who was on the bed with me. "Are you sure? Well, let's assume you did, this is my house, Taylor. There isn't any room I cannot access."I shifted from him. "What do you want?""Heard you refuse to eat dinner yesterday, so I want you to eat breakfast with me.""I don't want to.""I'm not asking, Taylor. And you know better than to disobey me." He stood up, adjusting his shirt. "Now, Follow me."I watched him leave and hesitated before following him. We arrived at the dining room where a sumptuous breakfast was already laid out. My stomach rumbled immediately and I knew I was really hungry."Seat my dear," he pulled a chair out for me. I hesitated before seating on it and he sat at the opposite end. "Eat up," he said and started eating.I didn't argue with him and immediately started eating, it was delicious and I had been hungry since yesterday. The meal passed in tense silence, with Mayor occasionally glancing

TAYLOR MACKENZIEThe evening was approaching and I knew it was time for the so-called party Mayor wanted me to attend. I'm sure he wanted to parade me and show his friends he conquered the woman Diego thought he could protect and the woman Donovan thought he own.I stood in the balcony, finding a moment of solitude before I would be summoned to start dressing for the party. I inhaled deeply as the cool night air provided a brief respite from the suffocating atmosphere of the mansion and Mayor. I leaned against the railing, lost in thought, when I heard the soft sound of approaching footsteps .On looking, I saw Mark emerging from the shadows, his presence expected."Miss Taylor," Mark said, his tone neutral but curious. "It is time.""Oh," I exclaimed. "Is that so?"He nodded and turned to leave."Mark!" I called, stopping him. He stopped and faced me. "Yes, is there something you want to talk about?" He asked.I inhaled. "Yes, I need to share something with you. A secret."Mark’s ex

TAYLOR MACKENZIEI and Mark arrived at where Mayor was waiting. He approached me with a smile on his face. "You look astonishing, my dear."I faked a smile, wishing I could take his smile away and destroy everything that had ever mattered to him. "You don't look bad yourself.""Let's go my dear."He took my hand and led the way, we got outside and he opened the door of the sleek, black limousine which was waiting for us. We got in and it drove away."So, what made you change your mind?" He started."My mind?""Earlier, you didn't sound like someone who was delighted to be here." "Oh, guess I just decided to live with it," I answered, not knowing if he'd buy the answer."Hmm," he said. "Is that really the case?""Yeah," I whispered."And."I looked at him. "And what?""I noticed you're quite close to Mark..""Oh, I just..we just help each other."He raised a brow. "Help? That closeness needs to end."I glared at him, was he serious?"Stay away from him, else he'll regret it, or probab

TAYLOR MACKENZIEI found myself in a corridor, and tried to navigate the maze of the mansion, feeling increasingly lost. As I walked through it, just turning to a corner, I collided with a woman coming from the opposite direction. The sudden impact nearly caused me to lose my balance, and I stumbled, catching myself just in time.I looked at the woman who was elegantly dressed in a stunning gown, looking startled and concerned at me. “Oh my! Are you alright?”I steadied myself and looked up, meeting the woman’s concerned gaze. “Yes, I’m fine. I’m so sorry. I wasn’t looking at where I was going.”The woman gave a warm smile. “It’s quite alright. These halls can be confusing, especially for someone new. I’m Eloise.”“I’m Taylor,” I replied, my voice still a bit shaky from the collision. “I was just trying to find the bathroom.”Eloise’s smile widened, and she gestured down the corridor. “You’re almost there. Just a little further. If you need any help or someone to talk to, don’t hesita

TAYLOR MACKENZIE"I'm Samantha as you know, and I want you to tell me what's troubling you?" Samantha started. "I'm not supposed to be sharing certain information with strangers," I said. "I told you already, the length of this discussion depends on what you're willing to share, I won't force you but believe me when I say, I'm on your side." I took a deep breath and decided to open up. “I was sold to a man named Donovan but his son, Diego wanted to protect me. I loved him, alot," my voice broke and tears filled my eyes, but I pushed myself to continue speaking. "Mayor killed him. And forcefully took me away. I’ve lost so much. All I want now is vengeance.""Hmm," Samantha listened intently, her expression thoughtful. “I’m sorry to hear about your loss. I might be able to offer you some advice on how to navigate your situation.""What?" I asked, cleaning my eyes carefully so as not to ruin my makeup. "I told you, I was once like you and I managed to get here because I used a ninety

TAYLOR MACKENZIE"Taylor.. Taylor can you hear me."My eyes opened. Although my vision was still a blur, I recognized the voice, it was Mark's."Mark, what happened?" I asked, seating up."We crashed, but we're fine. We've gotten away from them." My vision came back and that was when I saw him. He was bleeding from the side of his head, the blood flowing down his face."Mark! Oh my God, what happened to you?""Taylor, I'm fine. We called for help, they'll be here soon.""What about your wounds," I raised my hand to touch him but he caught them in his. "I said I'm fine.""You don't look fine, you-" I stopped when the sound of an approaching vehicle drew close. The door opened and Jayden rushed down with another boy who was nineteen years old, his name was Steve. "What happened to you, boss?"Mark helped me up and took my hand. "I said I'm fine."Once we were in the car, I checked myself out, I didn't sustain any injury, I was all neat but he was wounded, he even had a bullet wound.

TAYLOR MACKENZIE"Stay away from me, it's all your fault, it's your fault they took my baby.""Taylor...""I hate you, leave me to die, what do you care!"He lowered his gaze. "Just..let me hold you, please."Tears filled my eyes. "Get away from me, please," I wept."Asher isn't dead."I looked at him. "What?""Remember what I told you about standing and waiting until he strikes? I knew he'd try to harm Asher so I had a plan, a cover.""What? Why didn't you tell me, why did you keep me in the dark, why did you push me away.""It was for a reason, Mayor was watching the entire time, he was paying close attention to us. We had to be careful."I cleaned my tears. "So, my baby's alive?""Yes, so please.. let me hold you, let me console you."I looked at him, tears flowing from my eyes. "Please, hold me."He nodded and came closer, embracing me in his arms. I held onto him. Crying my eyes out, this was hard for me, I couldn't do it without Mark, he always came up with something, he always

TAYLOR MACKENZIE"Let go off me!" I shouted but Gerald joined, dragging me into the house. "Let me go! Someone help me! Please.""No one is coming to help you Taylor, if you don't shut your mouth, we might both have different rounds with you until we're okay," Gerald chuckled."Let me go please...let me go!" They didn't, instead, they pushed me into a room. I stood to my feet, looking around for an escape route but that was clearly impossible. They began undoing their shorts and that was when it dawned on me, they were going to rape me, each of them. My cries were a deafening screech when a glass vase was broken on Gerald's head. Thompson turned and I saw it was Genny, the nanny."I am sorry Sir, I didn't know it was you two, I thought it was a stranger.""You old hag," Thompson brought out his gun and shot her. The echo of the gunshot filled the whole place. He glared at me before looking at Gerald who was unconscious on the ground. "Guards!" He shouted and his men arrived."Dispos

TAYLOR MACKENZIEA year later."Happy birthday Tay!" I looked at Taylor who was smiling and taking her gradual steps. A year had already passed and I wouldn't lie, all the days has been nice. Thompson hadn't pulled up anything funny and although Mark still maintained some distance, something told me he was up to something that would be helpful when the time comes. I watched Taylor run into Thompson's arms with a happy face. "You okay Ma'am?" The nanny, Genny asked. I faked a smile. "Yes, I am.""It must be so beautiful to watch your child walk," she started.I frowned, couldn't she tell I hated when she poked her nose, but she always poked, and something told me she would never stop. I faced her. "Yes, it's beautiful, could you get the presents already?" I asked. "Right away," she said. "However, some guests are here," she announced. I smiled as she said this, I actually invited Asher and all I had to do was pay a random woman to pretend to be his mom. News flash, Samantha and M

TAYLOR MACKENZIEMy eyes widened. "Are you insane? How could you even say a thing like that, wait until he strikes? What if he kills us all or hurts my daughter in the middle.""Taylor, you're going to need to calm down, Mayor's watching everyone closely in this house. The security is more tight than it's ever been, the CCTV is very active, we could get caught." "What am I going to do?""Like I said, stand and wait until he strikes. Excuse me," he walked away.Tears filled my eyes, were they insane? Stand and wait until he strikes, what kind of stupid idea was that? Even Samantha hasn't been online since, did they want to see me dead?I Inhaled deeply, it wasn't like I didn't have a plan, I did, it's just that I wasn't certain it would work. If there was anyway Mayor had found out about my vengeance, he'd definitely strike and that was when Mark and his cohorts asked me to wait for.I laid beside Taylor "I promise no one will ever hurt you, you're going to be fine.

TAYLOR MACKENZIESome minutes had passed and I'm cradling my little angel in my arms. Was this the feeling of having a baby, I was in love with this little form, I wanted to protect her, die for her and make sure she doesn't feel any pain in this cruel world. "Congratulations," the nurse wished, your husband will be joining you soon," she announced. I faked a smile and she left. The door opened and Mayor walked inside, his eyes fixed on the child."You look too beautiful for someone who had just gone through labor," he said and I smiled, it wasn't fake this time. I was happy to be carrying my baby. Mark was standing by the door with his usual stoic expression. "It's a girl" the doctor said to Thompson. "Congratulations.""Oh my," he said, I didn't miss the disappointment in his voice. He gently picked the baby up. "Look at you, looking so much like your daddy," he smiled.I faked a smile and looked at Mark who was standing behind, his gaze were on me now but it was empty. I gave a

TAYLOR MACKENZIEMy eyes shot to Mark's face and my cheek instantly flushed. "Emmm," I stood up. "I.. I need to talk to you.""I'll meet you down stairs.""No, no it's an emergency.""We'll both get into trouble if Mayor comes in here, please, wait downstairs."I nodded, he was right. "Okay," I said and turned, occasionally looking back at the room before leaving and closing the door behind me. I tried controlling my breathing, Mark was breathtaking to look at.I found my way down the stairs, waiting for him. After a while he arrived wearing a brown singlet and shorts."Where are you going?" I asked."What is it that you wanted to say, say it while we walk," he walked past me, heading to the outskirts of the mansion.I followed him. "It's about the new nanny.""What about her?" "She seems suspicious and she said Thompson suggested I have the baby in this house.""Is that so?" He asked but there a was lack of interest in his tone that I didn't miss."What's wrong?" I asked and he stop

TAYLOR MACKENZIEFive months later and I am standing in front of a mirror, staring at my reflection in a beautiful white gown. Deep inside, I didn't know if this wedding had any importance to Thompson or not but the fact that it played a huge role in my revenge journey was enough for me. I walked down the aisle to meet him with a smile people would think came from my heart. However, that was a smile of vengeance, a smile of my winning over him. Mark had gotten better and I told him about Jayden, he was skeptical at first but after carrying out some investigation, he found out he wasn't a threat. Now it was I, Samantha, Jayden and Mark, our circle was building. Oh, did I forget Asher who was seven months already.I got close to Thompson, he took my hands and we faced the priest. The priest started and we said our vows, kissed each other and now I was eventually Taylor Volkov. The ride back was quiet as I was alone in the car, Thompson said he'd be joining me soon but I knew it was a l
My Lover's Choice. A fight for love and redemption. CURIOUS 97
TAYLOR MACKENZIEI watched as the guards carried royce into the van and we drove home. They were stealing glances at me and I wondered if there was anything wrong with my explanation. I told them I was attacked by a rapist in the female restroom and he came to help me but ended up being beaten up.I smiled and looked away, I'm sure Thompson's men were doing his bidding because of a person he's held hostage, a person or people dear to them. We arrived at the mansion and I headed straight to my room, I needed a shower to wash out the blood stains that were on my hands and clothes. After I was done, I settled on the bed, thinking. Lots of things were starting to make sense, I was slowly uncovering Thompson's hidden business. He traffics people, he's a monster and I would so end him. A knock came on my door and I sat up, looking at Thompson walk in.He stared at me for a while before folding his arms. "What exactly did you do to Jayden.""Jayden? And who is that?""Don't play with me Ta
