★★★★★Zac BratvaAs soon as she walked away, defying my order, I felt a rush of voltage hitting my chest, rattling my nerves. I could not believe she dared again. "Boss," the woman's voice brought me back to the reality.I nearly forgotten she was still in the room. Actually, I didn't really pay attention to her presence all this while. My brows raised higher as I asked, "Do you want me to applaud you? Get out!""Yes.." the woman shook her head terrifyingly and turned around to leave. Even though I told her to leave, one thing took place in my brain, and I stopped her again, "How well do you know that woman?" She turned around, and an excited glint rushed past her eyes. I moved over to the desk and sat down on the chair as I continued, "Drop the theatrics," I warned her, "Just tell me what I need to know.""What I said earlier about her is true," she insisted. "If you go through her record you will see everything I said was not lies. She always gets her things in the wrong way. You
★★★★★★ Katherine Letting the turmoil slow down in my heart, I got out of the cab and found the enormous luxurious mansion in front of my eyes. It left me baffled as I could not understand how they could afford such a huge mansion. I stood at the gate as I pondered for a little while before pressing the screen next to the gate. As soon as my face displayed on the screen, I said, "I am Katherine Marshell, and I.." before I finished completing my sentence, the gate in front of me slowly opened wide. I bit the corner of my lips and looked around. The garden lights were bright, illuminating the surroundings and marble pathways. A lot of uncertainty was crashing into my heart as my steps made their way toward the door. "Aunt Kelerie!" I shouted, standing at the door before I carefully took a step inside. "Jacky?" I shouted as I found the mansion deserted. Reluctance anchored my feet at the threshold, unwilling to let me step further at the entrance, debating whether to turn back. And t
★★★★★Zac Bratva"Perhaps you have lost your charm... your touches no longer entice me," I said plainly, my voice anything but serious."Don't say that!" Marianne replied, moving in front of me. She looked me into my eyes and continued, "No matter how many women you have slept with, no one can satisfy you as I did all these years. For the rest of your life, you will come to me again and again." She grabbed my hand and placed it on her bosom. Then she dragged my hand between her legs as she leaned over and whispered, "Can you feel how wet I am. I no longer want to waste our time, Zac!" After that, she took the same hand to her face and sucked the two fingers of mine. My eyes darkened at Marianne's face as my jaws tightened, not because I was aroused, but was that I could not feel her touches. "Still displaying I have lost my charm," Marianne whispered, leaning forward to kiss me on my lips, something I had not allowed it to anyone. Hence, before she claimed the kiss, I held her by the
★★★★★ Katherine I was devastated after seeing my aunt's condition. Holding her frail palm I sat next to her, sobbing uncontrollably. No amount of calling was able to wake her up. She remained unresponsive, which was crushing me from my core. I wanted to leave the house as soon as possible, but Jacky convinced me to stay a little, at least for dinner with them. "You have a son?" The question came from Juliana in a tone full of surprises. "Yes, Liam! He is five years old," I replied, taking my gaze toward her. "Why didn't you bring him here?" Jacky asked, pausing his spoon over his food. "Well....!" I started, but before I could able to finish, Juliana cut my words in the middle, saying, "You got pregnant when you were blind. Has Givon denied accepting the child?" Her words were sharp, laced with something that couldn't quite place- judgment, even resentment. "Jul, watch your words!" Jacky said with a gloomy tone, his eyes shooting warning. I, in response, held my head down as
★★★★★KatherineAfter reaching home, I found Liam had already fallen asleep. Liz said he was nagging to stay awake, but then gave in to the tiredness and fell asleep."You wanted to smoke, why?" Liz questioned me with doubt as she came to a stop next to me. Meanwhile, I sat blankly on the balcony, staring at the night sky, feeling heavy by the situation I did not expect to meet.'In the last five years, I have gone through a lot in my life, but now life makes me feel I did not do much. It had just started yet.' I thought to myself."Kat, speak to me! Did someone bully you in the company? Or are you having more trouble for the money?" Liz further asked when she saw me staying mute and blank.I inhaled a breath and glanced toward her, asking, "Light up a cigarette, please.""Damn girl, how long have you been smoking?" Liz said as she lit up a cigarette. Taking two puffs of it, she handed it to me as I replied with a shake of my head, "I did not. It’s just the first, perhaps last.""Well
★★★★★ Katherine "Liz, there is something I want to tell you. I know you have a lot of questions in your heart, but you are unable to ask me," I said, biting the edge of my lips. Unconsciously my hand turned into a fist, feeling as if I still got terrified mentioning my past. "Are you sure? Because you don't have to! Whatever it was, you could never be wrong," Liz said in a tone that displayed the trust she had in me. I instantly grabbed her palm and took a deep sigh, adding, "I need to. I have been carrying this burden for a long time. I'm more than willing to talk to you about this topic because you'll never judge me." "Alright, I am all ears," Liz said. "The person who shot Givon was me," I began, "The dinner night I had anticipated had come out a vicious plan of his. He drugged me, and then sold me off." "What?" Liz got stumped, and her eyes widened as horror crossed her eyes. "I can't believe it. What happened after that? How did you escape? Is this why you left the town," Li
★★★★Zac Bratva"I want him alive," I demanded as I pulled out my gun from my waist. But before I could go out, Carlo from the passenger seat warned, "Boss, stay inside, because that jackass doesn't know you are in the town." I looked outside through the tinted window of the car and saw the people aiming their guns at my people. My fist clenched around the gun, as I spat, "I don't care. He should know my presence. If he thinks showing off the weapons to my people he can make me feel worried. Then that dickhead needs the brain to his head." And I got out of the car, shutting the door behind with a Thud.Meanwhile, Carlo instantly followed me out with the gun, coming to a stop in front of me. He was ready to take a bullet for me, but I knew today was not the day."Well, well," a voice with mockery started I have heard you have gone underground after your special shipment have been seized by the special force. It seems like you are not enjoying your so well-built plan you were always pr
★★★★ Zac Bratva I wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth with the back of my hand and stood up from the ground. My anger overpowered my rational mind as I swung around and balled my knuckles tight. "Now I am making sure Marianne will get nightmares seeing your face," I said with a triumphant smile as I charged forward, swinging my fist on Harvey's face. I was sure he was going to dodge it. Hence, I raised my foot and kicked him in the chest, hard enough to make him fall behind. Without giving Harley a moment to reciprocate, I hovered over him and showered the punches on his face. Then.... Out of the blue, I heard a gunshot. Panic instantly crossed my brain. My sharp gaze looked up in Katherine's direction and found the man who was holding the gun on her head earlier was now lying dead, blood pooling beneath him. When my sight shifted a little away from her I saw a black car pulling up, his engine humming ominously. I gritted my teeth as I was not able to guess who w
★★★★Zac Bratva"I would rather get some sleep than be in this crap environment," I grumbled, pressing my forehead, which was throbbing badly. I was preparing for bed because I felt like sleeping so hard, but then these two morons called me here. When I refused, they told me they were in trouble because Harvey was there. 'All are bullshit!' I spat, shaking my head as I grabbed the whisky Glass that was placed on the lavish table in front of me. "WOh, Woh! What did we just hear?" Kane said, who was sitting with Carlo at the opposite side of the table, "You want to ditch the night for sleep. Oh, I feel like something has stuck in my ears.""Shut up. Your voice is far more irritating than the night," I spat. I couldn't tell what happened to me, but I didn't want to stay here."Come on, I asked one night from you. It is not every day I get a free hour from my work. Meanwhile, you are having a tantrum. I heard you coming here every other day, so, suck it up. We are not going to sleep ton
★★★★★Katherine"What is up with your expression? Shouldn't you show some joy? Don't worry I am not taking a penny from it," Jack chortled as a chuckle followed up from his lips."Actually..." before I could speak the rest, Jacky's phone started ringing."One minute!" He said and I nodded."Hello!"Meanwhile, I grabbed the glass and drank the water in one gulp."What? Where is she?" Jacky's voice was deep and strong. My sharp senses instantly cornered me to think something was wrong."Okay, I am coming!" He said and hung up. Rising from my seat I asked, "What happened? Is it Juliana?""Yes, she got herself into trouble. I can no longer control this girl. I don't know what got into your head to go to such a party," Jacky said, gnashing his teeth as he looked around to find something where he could vent his anger."What party?" I asked, feeling concerned for Juliana."Can I talk about this later? You stay here and take a rest," he said, putting his phone back in his pocket. He turned ar
★★★★ Katherine "I don't understand, Jack. Did you know anything about the insurance money," I asked, arching my brow up in curiosity, "You sound confident." "You forgot that your mails used to come to my mom's number after the accident happened with you," he said and I gave him the nod because it was me who changed the mail address with my aunt's. So she could take care of my account. "After you vanished into thin air, a letter came from the bank, and I found out you took a loan- the amount was 1100 dollars," Jacky said in a casual tone, wiping his lips with the cloth. "What?" My abrupt reaction startled him as he looked at me with confused Eyes. "I did not take any loan ever. There must have been a mistake from the bank. You had not paid it, have you?" I asked. "It was a warning letter after you failed to pay the EMI. It had been due for three months," Jacky said, "Don’t worry, I had paid it. I think you have forgotten about the loan, but it was definitely in your name, and the
★★★★Katherine"About what?" I asked Jacky, even though I knew what he was referring to. I watched him staring at me with a blank gaze as I waited for him to speak. Instead, he grabbed hold of my wrist and hauled me forward, leaving me confused."What are you doing, Jack?" I asked with a strong tone because I was not able to understand his intention.He pulled me right to the dining table and stopped right next to a chair. Letting go of my hand, he pulled the chair behind me and said, "Sit down first!""Oh, I am not in the mood to eat. Where is Juliana," I asked."I know," he replied and I raised my eyebrow, not getting what he meant, "I know, you have eaten before coming here."I looked at him with surprise trying to study if he was making guesses."Sit down, Kat," he said before I could ask him anything.I glanced to the side of the chair before sitting down. Jacky went over to the other chair on the opposite side of the table. He grabbed a bowl and opened the lid off it. At the ti
★★★★ Katherine "Well, Liz looked for me when she did not get through your number, then she found her car in front of a shop where...." Jacky said, "You know it." I exhaled a breath, giving him a slight nod before I asked, "Is Liz here?" My gaze flickered around the house, but I did not see her anywhere. "She left Mom, in the evening as soon as a call came. She sounded worried while talking on the phone, but when I asked, she brushed it off and told me she would return soon," Liam answered, grabbing hold of my finger as if he was scared I would leave him again. Consequently, I wrapped my hand around his neck, keeping him close to make him feel secure, and I muttered, "Let me call her first." "She said one of her colleagues got sick because of his upset stomach. So she left," Jacky said. Simultaneously, my hand paused in my bag as I looked up to Jacky, saying, "Still, I should call her." I took the phone out of the bag, unlocking the phone. But before I could able to make a call,
★★★★Katherine"You can stop the car here," I said to the driver as I looked at the central town. The bustling city and the people coming out of the bar were enough for me to camouflage. After that, I would take a cab to go home without fearing that man would find out about my son."Which one is your house here?" The driver asked, his tone was cold and flat."Don't worry, my house is on the right lane, and your car cannot fit in that lane. A little walk won’t hurt my feet. Tell your boss that I am very grateful for the ride," I smiled gently as I fluently said to the driver. Opening the car door, I was about to get out when he replied, "Alright, let me walk you home!""What?? Pffft.... no. Are you kidding? You don't have to. Besides, I know the youngsters hanging out in this area are nasty. Parking this car here will make you regret it," I tried to persuade the driver as I held the car door open. I could not let him know I was lying; otherwise, that devil would come to drop me home to
★★★★★ Katherine I could not believe how shameless this man was. On one hand, he was telling me my movement was causing trouble in him, yet I was forcefully held down when I tried to get up. "I have not enjoyed such an exciting dinner for a long time," he said, drawing his face closer to my neck. Instantly, the hair on my nape stood up, and I moved an inch away from him. "You use me to irk your family. I hope they won't come after me," I muttered with my eyes sharply looking at him. Those deep, controlled blue eyes had thrown me into deep thoughts about whether he was really that man. At the same time, I didn't think he would be so calm after finding me if he was really that guy. Furthermore, was not his name supposed to be Zac Bratva? "I believe in you!" He said with a knowing smile that scratched the surface of my heart as I felt my stomach drop lower, and I questioned, "What do you mean?" "If they reach for you, I know you can handle it," he said, his tone filled with mock. "I
★★★★★ Zac Bratva "You have plenty of time to come and explore this place. Right now, you should go home with your mother," I refused to let Stephanie linger in my house, clearly because I hate people. I knew why she wanted to stay back, and how their car broke down mysteriously in front of my house. Huh! These stupid people! I shook my head. These fools don’t know what will happen to them if I get irritated. Hmmm! At the same time I can’t deny they are no headache for me, just some tiny pawns for my entertainment. On the other hand, I looked at the woman next to me and found her restless. She kept glancing at my aunt and Stephanie, waiting for them to do something to take her way, but what she did not know was they were not the people she could put her trust in. "Stan, I hope you will let go of the past and come to meet your family. Your father's health is not looking good." I smiled at my aunt and replied, "My past is not bad or dark for me. Hence, I have nothing to let go of. H
★★★★★Katherine"Stan, my boy, we are aware of the past. You cannot deny me and your uncle has tried every possible way to return you home. You didn't agree. But this is something else," the woman was still not convinced how her precious nephew was eating with me. But that was completely fine to me because I did not want to be here either."Something else? Like what?" His tone was becoming worse as if he was slowly losing his patience."Mom is talking about family. I mean, our family likes to live with the rules and status and mom is trying to Express how the rest of the family will react once they hear about her," Stephanie said in her mother's place as I watched how she desperately covered up the mess her mother's response would create."Is that so? I am not using the family name or wealth, nor do I recall them in my sweetest memory." I looked at the devil as he paused his blunt mouth. I wondered how big and rich his family was."Why would I care how they will react? Technically, th
