My Lover's Choice. A fight for love and redemption. THE HOSPITAL 64
TAYLOR MACKENZIEI swung my leg over the window sill, ready to let go, when my mind suddenly drifted to her, Samantha Stevens. I stopped, I wanted to be like her, I wanted to conquer Mayor the way she conquered her man, I wanted her to teach me how she did it. I looked below, why would I kill myself. I knew I was useless but still, I couldn't do it. I couldn't not give Diego the vengeance I promised him. I stepped back and walked into my room. Screw death, I wasn't going to be a coward. I headed back to my locker where I had put the card when I got back from the party. I pulled out the drawer and picked it up. I stared at it and in that moment, a flicker of Samantha's warm smile flashed through my mind.I clutched the card in my hand and decided that I would call her. She asked me to call her when I couldn't bear it anymore and now was the time. I cleaned my tears and picked up my phone. With trembling fingers, I dialed the number on the card which I suspected to be Samantha's.It

TAYLOR MACKENZIEThe doctor tended to my injury as my eyes scanned the whole place. I wouldn't lie, I was tensed and my anxiety level increased drastically. The whole sterile corridors were flanked by the presence of Mayor's ominous men. "Does it hurt?" The doctor asked and I nodded. Mark was standing beside me all these time, I wished I could signal the doctor, tell him something but Mark seemed to be paying very close attention to everything that was happening.I looked at the hospital staff, bustling around and their expressions being impassive and hurried, they as well as the doctor were seemingly unaware of my inner turmoil. Each passing moment intensified my fear that Samantha wouldn't find me in time."Can I get a bed rest after this doctor?" I suddenly asked."You need a bed?" The doctor asked. "Yes, please.""But your injury-""Still hurt, I need a bed," I cut him.Mark stepped forward. "She won't be getting one."I and the doctor looked at him. "Says who? If I need to res

TAYLOR MACKENZIE"Looks like it took you alot to get here." The nurse said and confusion washed over me. I was processing the meaning of her words when I realized her voice sounded familiar."Is that, you?" She smiled and looked up from her clipboard, her eyes meeting mine. She nodded gently and I gasped, wondering how she passed Mayor's men. Samantha removed her nose mask revealing her familiar face and I was left breathless momentarily."Samantha?" I whispered. "How did you pass them?" I asked."Wasn't hard, and that's a story for next time." "No, I want to know, tell me!"She inhaled. "I have a spy, disguised as one of Mayor's men, I won't tell you who, that's how I get intels""Wow," I whispered, tears filling up my eyes. "I was scared. I thought you'd never find me." "That's nearly impossible," she answered.I sniffed. "Can I, please hug you.""Sure," she said and I rushed forward, enveloping her in a tight embrace. Samantha returned the hug, her arms a comforting anchor arou

TAYLOR MACKENZIEI glared at Mark before approaching and collecting the medicine bag. "Thanks doc," I appreciated. I walked back toMark who just stood near the car, his eyes on me. As I got closer, he moved toward me, his strides purposeful and brisk.“Hey, Taylor!” he called out, his voice carrying a blend of warmth in contrast to how it was before. However, I wasn't listening to to whatever he wanted to say."Let's just go," I said but he grabbed my arm before I could walk past him. He reached out and took the hospital bag from me."Calm down, Taylor."I looked at him before giving a very fake smile. "Okay, how about this? Hey, Mark. Thanks for coming to pick me up, it means alot?" He chuckled softly. "Let’s get you home," he said. I rolled my eyes and walked ahead of him until we approached the car. I got inside and he did the same, after strapping our seatbelts, we drove off.As the ride proceeded, Mark gaze flickered toward me, his expression a mix of curiosity and concern."

TAYLOR MACKENZIEI knew I caught both Mark and Mayor off guard by my comment. Mayor's grip on my jaw loosened while Mark was staring at me, as I saw through my side eye. "Let go Thompson, those lips are important to both of us."He hesitated for a while before leaving me. I rubbed my jaw, trying to act unaffected but the pain was something else. "So, Taylor,” Mayor said, his voice smooth. "About your accident. How are you feeling after stabbing yourself just so you could leave this place to that uncomfortable hospital?"I offered him a cheeky smile. "Never been better, sometimes day offs are just the best, you should try traveling Thompson, it'll help you relax and get your mind off the list of people you think hate and are trying to kill you. Who knows, I might even tag along.""It's good to know you're okay," he said, ignoring my last statement."Actually, I'm a bit shaken up, but it's nothing I can’t handle. I actually feel a lot better now, better than I've felt since I got int

THOMPSON VOLKOVThe early morning light filtered through the heavy curtains of my bedroom as I got ready for my daily workout. I had alot on my head now, people I needed to kill all because of their stupidity and inability to understand and cooperate with me. After a quick wash at the sink, I splashed my face with cool water, shaking off the remnants of sleep. I was ready and descended the staircase, the steps echoing softly under my weight.I was just going to walk out of the house but in the kitchen, I perceived something amazing. The aroma of fresh breakfast which started drifting through the air. It was a pleasant, yet unexpected scent."Who's it?" I asked, entering the kitchen."Oh, Thompson."I frowned as I was greeted by the sight of Taylor standing by the stove, busy with a skillet and a variety of ingredients spread out on the counter. She looked up as I entered, her face breaking into a warm smile.“Good morning, Thompson” Taylor said cheerfully. “I’m making breakfast. I t

TAYLOR MACKENZIEI walked back into the mansion, a hand rubbing my neck due to the grip Mayor had on me earlier. He was an asshole. As I got into the house, I met Mark, he noticed as I rubbed my neck and immediately approached me. "Are you okay?"I took a step backwards. "Yes, why do you care?" "Your neck, it's-""Thompson tried to kill me. News flash, I didn't die."He reached out to touch me. "It must have hurt."I moved backwards again. "Don't touch me Mark, I mean it?"He took back his hands, burying them into his pocket. "Why are you still mad at me?" "I don't know, just don't feel like talking to you, just mind your business.""I'm responsible for you, I watch you.""Then do it from miles away, you don't have to be so close," with that, I walked away. I didn't stop or turn to him until I arrived at my room. I exhaled and relaxed.A week had passed since I and Samantha started our revenge journey. I usually snuck out in the nights of Wednesdays and Sundays to see her. And pic

TAYLOR MACKENZIESamantha returned and walked straight to where she kept her bag, she reached into it and pulled out a sleek black gun. "In this life, we'll be faced with many challenges, from lots of enemies I'll call it, that's why we have to be ready for anything, as well as equiped.""Where are you driving at?" I asked.She faced me and extended her hand, giving me the gun with a serious look."What?" I stood to my feet."Calm down Taylor, take the gun and shoot that vase."I looked at the vase she talked about before returning my stare to her face. "I have held a gun before, once, Diego gave it to me. However I couldn't use it when I needed to, I-""You panicked Taylor, you were in shock and let your emotions take over you. Now is different, if you let yourself, you could master it and yield it whenever you want."I glanced at the gun, my face falling into a look of apprehension. "I'm sorry Samantha but, I don’t really want to use it. It has lots of memories attached to it." Sam

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
My Lover's Choice. A fight for love and redemption. HAPPY MARRIED LIFE 98
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

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
