My Lover's Choice. A fight for love and redemption. BAD MAYOR 37
TAYLOR MACKENZIEMayor, it was him. I looked at Diego and his expression was murderous. I withdrew my hand immediately, clearing my throat. "Nice to meet you, Mayor." "Good to see you, Mayor. I didn't know you'd show up here." Diego spoke for the first time since the man came, he was wearing a fake smile that showed nothing far from discomfort."Ah, this is my place so, there's no wrong in coming by, is there.""Apparently not." Diego's jaw tightening imperceptibly.Mayor ignored him and looked at me, leaning in closer as his charm turned somewhat predatory. "You're even more beautiful in person," he complimented me.This made me uncomfortable and I reacted by shifting uncomfortably in my seat."You can leave, Mayor. We're actually in the middle of something," Diego said."Leave? Why?" He asked and smoothly pulled out a chair. "Why don't I join you both? I insist."I looked at Diego, maybe the Mayor helped him save my life but I didn't like him. "Actually, Mayor, we were hoping fo

DIEGO SALVATOREI knew Mayor was trying to mess with me, trying to remove my presence so he could talk to Taylor. However, I trusted her. I stormed back inside after I found out his men were blabbing about the arms when the fault was from them. I saw them from afar. Mayor leaning closer to Taylor, their conversation seeming uncomfortably intimate. Taylor's face, usually serene, now bore a tense expression that sent a wave of unease through me. I fastened my pace to the table, my stomach churning with a mix of anger and concern."Everything alright?" I asked, trying to gauge the situation without drawing attention.Taylor hesitated, her eyes flickering briefly to Mayor before meeting my gaze. "It's nothing," she said, but I didn't miss the trembling of her voice. "Taylor," I walked over to her, cupping her face in my hands. "Did anything happen?""I think we should leave Diego, please," she said, her voice carrying a note of hurry. I frowned, something definitely felt wrong. Taylor

TAYLOR MACKENZIEI sat on the bed, reading a book I bought from an online store. It was amazing with incredible plot twist but my happiness was interrupted by a call. It was a strange number and Diego had told me only he could contact me. I ignored the call, although I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease settling in my chest. The phone rang two more times before it ended. I exhaled, going back to my book when a text message popped up. I could read a text message. I picked up my phone and read it. "You're becoming a naughty girl, Taylor. If you don't want to see Diego's head hanging from a streetlight, you better come to this location. And I know where you are, I know what you're doing, you don't want me coming over cause I'mma do some pretty bad things to you." Smirking emoji.I threw the phone. It was Mayor, only him could send such a message. What should I do? I couldn't go? Diego asked me to stay. But what if he hurts Diego. I ran my hand through my hair, I was confused. I

TAYLOR MACKENZIE"Marco!" I called, standing up."What are you doing out here?" "I..I.. I wanted a stroll and, I missed the road." Marco was wise, I'm sure he knew I was lying but what could I say, that I went to see Mayor. "Please take me back, and don't tell Diego I lost my way, he'd be upset.""Alot of things are going on, we don't need you loosing your way." He dragged the last sentence and it felt like he already saw right through me. "I'll try not to next time, please take me back." "Alright," he said and led the way. I knew how close they were, I just wished Marco wouldn't complicated things for me. I was never seeing Mayor again. We drove in his car and he stopped by the gate."Go in.""Thanks. Emm, we still have the agreement that you won't tell Diego, right?" He was quiet initially. "As long as it'll do him no hard, I won't."I smiled. "It's just a stroll, what kind of harm could it bring." He didn't answer and as I closed the door, he drove off. I watched the car leave

TAYLOR MACKENZIE Diego winced as I mistakenly touched his injury. I instantly pulled away. "I'm sorry," I whispered. "It's fine." "Let's go inside, please," I said and helped him up. I carefully laid him on the bed and laid beside him. "You're gonna be fine." "Since you're here, I think I already am." I stayed by Diego's side throughout the night, tending to him and his wounds with care. Diego winced occasionally but never complained. When he had slept off, I slowly climbed down and stared at him. I needed to put the arranged food back into the refrigerator since we couldn't have our wonderful night together. I brushed a strand of hair from his forehead. "I love you, Diego," I whispered softly, pressing a kiss to his lips before settling out. After I had put the food in the refrigerator, I discreetly pulled out my phone and tapped on the crazy number that Mayor used to contact me, I would give him a piece of my mind. "You hurt Diego, you bastard. I wish you could be run o

DIEGO SALVATOREI just showed Taylor the starting and she was already shooting at the target well. I wished we had enough time, I wanted to teach her alot, I wanted her to be able to stand up for herself.I watched as she held the gun, her hands trembling slightly. "Okay," I said approaching her. "Allow me." I stood behind her, sheltering her as I gently adjusted her grip, my touch reassuring yet firm."You have to aim carefully, Taylor. You only want to hit the enemy if things gets messy," I instructed quietly, my voice a murmur close to her ear.Taylor nodded, her brow furrowing in concentration as she focused on the target ahead. With a deep breath, she squeezed the trigger, feeling the recoil of the gun in her hands. The shot rang out, hitting the target square in the chest.I took a step backwards as a bright smile broke across her face. She turned to me, her eyes shining with excitement. "Did you see that?" she exclaimed softly.I couldn't help but smile back at her infectious

DIEGO SALVATOREI woke up the next morning and Taylor was still asleep, her arms wrapped around me. I placed a kiss on her forehead and climbed down from the bed. I had a bath and dressed up before walking to the bed. I kissed her lips and she stirred, mumbling some words I couldn't understand."You've got to wake up my sweet," I whispered, kissing her lips again until her eyes shot open."Where are you going?" "Out, you know our agreement. By 2pm, you should already be at the airport."She sat up immediately. "I'm sorry I overslept.""It's okay," I caressed her face. "It's okay my sweet, just be careful. I love you." "What?" She asked."What's wrong?""You've..never told me you love me."I chuckled softly. "I always did.""You said it now and...""Shh," I whispered. Placing my hand on her thigh and trailing up to the folds. She gasped, her eyes widening but she didn't make any attempt to stop me. "Do you like this?"She gulped, lips parted. "Yes, don't stop."I massaged her folds w

TAYLOR MACKENZIEIt was now 4pm and whoever Diego said would pick me up was still yet to come. I paced nervously outside the mansion, glancing frequently at my watch. The evening air was crisp, and the streetlights cast long shadows on the pavement. I had been waiting for what felt like an eternity, and my anxiety was growing with each passing minute.I looked down the road, straining to see if Diego’s promised car was approaching when a sleek black sedan pulled up to the curb. The driver, a middle-aged man with a stern expression, stepped out and opened the door for me. "Miss Mackenzie." I approached cautiously. "Are you here for me?" I asked, my voice tinged with concern.The driver gave a solemn nod. “Yes, Miss Taylor. Mr. Diego Salvatore sent me.”Relief washed over me. "Okay," I said and handed him my suitcase which he put in the car trunk before I slid into the back seat.As he entered and started the engine, I noticed a tattoo on his wrist, it was familiar and I knew I had se

My Lover's Choice. A fight for love and redemption. DO YOU WANT TO GET CLOSER 74
TAYLOR MACKENZIEIt was now evening after I locked myself in my room due to the attitude Mark showed me. I wouldn't lie, I was angry he yelled at me, he was an asshole for doing that. My stomach rumbled and I knew it was time to eat. I inhaled deeply and decided to open the door. However, before I could, it opened, displaying Mark, standing by the entrance. I rolled my eyes, I would have argued that I locked it but who was I kidding, Mark would surely have the keys to everywhere and everything, my life included. "What?""Dinner," he answered, showing me the covered food in the tray he carried."I'll pass," I made to close the door but he blocked it with his legs."Your stomach says otherwise, I could hear it from outside."I stared at him. "My problem.""Is that so?" He asked and opened the covered food. That was it, I lost my mind."Screw you!" I grabbed the food from him and rushed inside my room, eating like my life depended on it. Mark entered the room and closed the door before

TAYLOR MACKENZIEMark’s voice was steady but lacked conviction. "It’s nothing, Mayor."Mayor’s face immediately twisted into a scowl. Without a word, he crossed the room and slapped Mark hard across the face. The sound echoed sharply through the room. My heart missed a beat at the impact but Mark just stood, unmoved with his head still bent. "Why do you sound so soft?" he growled."I apologize, I was just getting Miss Taylor ready for the day," he answered."Really? And why are you just doing that now, what happened to earlier."Earlier? What did he mean. I looked at the clock and saw it was already twelve. Shit, Make didn't wake me up early, he gave me enough time to sleep. Screw this, he didn't deserve to he beaten by Mayor, I had to do something. "My apologies.""I don't need your apology, you'll be punished-""No! Stop."Both of them looked at me and I gave an awkward chuckle. "You see Mayor, I called Mark and was just yelling at him for waking me up early."Mayor’s eyes narrowed
My Lover's Choice. A fight for love and redemption. 72 MARK AND MORNINGS
TAYLOR MACKENZIEWhen Samantha said I'd be exhausted when she's done, I didn't think it would be as painful as it felt now. My back was hurting, so was my shoulders and fingers. I was quiet in the car as she drove me back to the garden where the tunnel was. "You good?" She asked and I nodded. "You're going to need to work hard and exercise everyday so your body can adapt to the stress and load you're giving it."I gave her a thumbs up and she led me to the tunnel. "Can you crawl?" She asked."Yeah, I'll try," I said. She bid me farewell and I found my way. I pushed myself until I slipped into my room unnoticed, being careful enough to avoid any unnecessary noise.I didn't strip any of my clothing but climbed on my bed collapsing onto it as my mind was still swirling with the training Samantha had made me go through. Well, that was past tense, I needed to get some sleep, no matter how little so that I could have a little energy before Mark would start his day by walking into my room
My Lover's Choice. A fight for love and redemption. SHE'S TESTED ME 71
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 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
My Lover's Choice. A fight for love and redemption. SHE'S SUSPICIOUS 69
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
My Lover's Choice. A fight for love and redemption. CONFRONTATION 68
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

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."
My Lover's Choice. A fight for love and redemption. BACK TO THE MANSION 66
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
