Little Lion chuckled. He couldn't believe that was how everyone called Handsome Xin. He could imagine the look on his face when he heard it.“Do you believe me now?“ Ricky asked. He was still confused. They were living just in the adjacent compound, separated by a mere fence. All the time, they had their eyes on the house. How didn't they know that Xin had a child?Little Lion smiled. “I just thought about it. You wouldn't know his password at the door if you were an enemy,” he said.Ricky nodded, but before he could say anything, he heard Red Eye's voice in the mic. “Careful, Ricky! Someone is coming over,” he said.And just at the same time, the door was pushed open, and a man rushed in. It was all thanks to Isabel, who could hack through the door.“Stand still!“ The man ordered them, pointing a gun at them. Little Lion shrieked. He was scared that they were in danger.But Ricky remained unperturbed. “Congratulations man. You are really capable,” he said, a tiny smile at the corner
…For two days, I sat at the front door, waiting for Eze. He hadn't come back from Xin's house. I was so scared when I thought about the whole thing.Even though Dave, the man whom I had left with, didn't tell me exactly what had happened in there, I wasn't stupid. There was a very high chance that they had been caught.At last, when I couldn't stay calm anymore, I decided to do what was necessary. Who the hell knew what Xin was doing to him?What if he was being tortured to death? What if he was being starved to death? Xin would do anything to get information from them.And once he knew what they wanted to do, he was going to kill him. No! I wasn't supposed to let that happen. Eze was in trouble because of me.I quickly changed my clothes and headed for the company. By whatever chance, I had to help Eze.And luck wasn't on my side again. I ran into Skye, who looked at me with a taunting smile. “Look who is here,” she said, and everyone turned to look at me.She looked at her watch an
I felt more scared when he banged his lips on mine and began kissing me deeply. Yes, I was prepared for it at first, but suddenly I felt frightened.“Xin,” I struggled against his when I felt his hand on my waist, moving upwards. Things were getting out of hand.Xin pressed me tightly against himself, and I could feel something else. His lower body was reacting. Wait, what was I supposed to do?“You are all mine today,” Xin whispered into my ears, nibbling at them. And the more his hands moved, the more scared I felt.At last, when I was left with no option, I could only resolve to cry. I let my tears fall as much as they wanted. Maybe that was my only way out.And it actually worked. Xin seemed frozen when a tear fell on his nose. He pulled away from the kiss and looked at me. I could feel him tensing up.“Bella, why are you crying?“ He asked and helped me to a sitting position. I knew that my tears still had some power over him. “Did I hurt you?“I looked at him angrily before turnin
Abby tensed up more. “Chris's mom? Is something wrong?“ She asked. Was his mother going to tell her to stay away from his son too?Mrs. Blake seemed to have understood her worries. She sighed and tried to keep a strong voice. “I don't have any bad intentions, sweetie. Can you come over, please? Chris needs you.“Abby's heart skipped a beat. Did Chris need her? “Um, ma'am, did something happen to Chris?“ She asked in fear. “Is he alright?“A tear fell from Mrs. Blake's eyes. “No, he is not fine. I don't want to lie to you. Chris got into an accident last week on Tuesday. He is in a comma for now,” she said, her voice trembling.Abby sat up with a start. “What?“ she asked. Everything made sense at the moment. Chris hadn't abandoned her. He was sick in the hospital bed.Instead, it was she who had abandoned him. She had only thought about the possibility of being betrayed. She was selfish.“Abby?“ Mrs. Blake called worriedly. “Are you still there?“Abby wiped away tears from her face. "U
…I waited anxiously in the living room, hoping that Xin hadn't fooled me again. I never fully trusted him.However, when the lift stopped and the door opened, my heart beat faster when I saw Eze. Without thinking, I rushed over and hugged him. “Are you okay?“ I asked.Eze wrapped his hands around me tightly. “Yeah, I'm fine. I was worried about you instead,” he said, checking on me to see if I was fine.I detected some cold wind from Xin's direction, but I didn't care about that at the time. I smiled at Eze. “I'm fine. I'm really fine,” I said.Xin took some steps towards us, his hands in his pockets. “Your time is up, man. You have to go,” he said. He seemed to regret having let the two of us meet.Eze looked at Xin coldly. Then he held my hand. “Let us go,” he said.And I froze in place. Did he think that I was going to leave with him? I began feeling uneasy.He paused to look at me with creased brows. “What is wrong?“ He asked. He turned to look at Xin before looking at me again.
…In the evening, Xin went to pick Little Lion up from school, as he had done the last few days. However, this time, there was a smile lingering on his lips.Even though Bella was mad at him, he had taken the first step by making sure she was in his house.Little Lion pursed his lips. “Did something good happen, handsome Xin?“ He asked. It was very rare to see the man smiling for no reason.Xin smiled broader. “Um, I have a surprise for you,” he said. “I hope that will also make you smile.“Little Lion became curious. “What is the surprise?“ He asked. He tried thinking of many things that his dad would have found for him, but nothing came to mind.But Xin only chuckled when he questioned him. “It is a surprise,” he said. “You can't know until it is time.“Once at home, he asked Little Lion to cover his eyes as they walked into the living room. And when he didn't see Bella, he smiled. Things would be more interesting.“Little Lion, I want you to keep your eyes closed and walk to the gu
…Abby rushed to the hospital, as Mrs. Blake had told her. All the way to the city, her heart had been pounding so hard. She was worried about Chris.Mrs. Blake was waiting at the reception for her. “It must be you,” she said, wearing a weak smile. “My son really has good eyes.“Abby blushed a little. She bowed her head at the woman. “Mrs. Blake,” she said.Mrs. Blake nodded her head gratefully. “Thank you so much for coming. I didn't know you would come to the hospital the first thing,” she said.Abby sighed. Chris was actually her first priority at the time. Even if she had chosen to go home first and rest, she would never have been at peace.“Um, Chris… Can I see him?“ She asked worriedly. She wanted to see him so bad.Mrs. Blake nodded her head. “Of course,” she said. “Come with me.“They chatted a little on the way, and Abby realized that the woman wasn't bad. From what she felt, Mrs. Blake didn't hate her. She didn't detest her.“I really didn't want to bother you. But I know th
I slowly looked up at Xin, and I sighed deeply. Instead of answering the child, he was looking at me. Did he want me to speak up instead?He should have known better than anyone else that something like that was never going to happen. He didn't even have to think about it.I looked at Little Lion calmly. “Baby, that is not something we can talk about now,” I said. But even before I could explain it, Xin spoke up, cutting me short.“It is okay, Little Lion. Daddy and mommy will find you a little sister soon,” he said, winking at me. And I could only open my eyes wide in shock.“Okay! I want my sister to be as beautiful as Mommy. I will protect her from bullies,” Little Lion said happily. I could only observe him silently. He really had dreams.…After dinner, I helped Little Lion clean up and go to bed before going back to the guest room. I was worried about Eze. The words that Xin had said to him were bothering me.I tried to call him, but he didn't pick up. Of course, I knew that he
