"We had a meeting with a new client," June started in a shaky voice but James tried his best to listen closely. "We have worked with the client before so when he asked that we meet him in a restaurant I scheduled the meeting which Octavia kept postponing for reasons unknown to me.""Alright, I am listening," James said every single detail mattered and everyone was a suspect including June."She later agreed to the meeting, which I called him to inform him about, we were going when all of a sudden a jeep stopped in front of us and the last I remember was feeling faint, the next minute we were in the back of a bus tied up on the floor with our mouth gagged, I think the person who tied my mouth tied it loosely because I was able to free my mouth and then I proceeded to use it to loosen the rope on my hand.""So, you escaped the bus and left Octavia alone there?" James asked."No, I freed myself and checked for my second phone which I noticed was still on me, Then I removed the cloth from
~ KEIR'S CAR ~Keir was driving behind the police cars who were already at full speed to the abandoned warehouse, with James beside him watching the video on his phone of Sandy and Octavia talking.Keir couldn't believe that Sandy would do something like this when Octavia and even Rue had told him something was up with her he thought they were being jealous of his relationship with her because Rue was obsessed with him and Octavia wanted them to keep fucking, he should have known better.He was blinded by the fact that she was a good girl, she was kind and timid but it was all an act, The Sandy he was seeing right now on his phone was not good or kind or timid, she was heartless and cold.He knew something was off with Rue's death but he didn't exactly suspect Sandy, maybe he did but he tried to wave the feeling off. He didn't want to admit that the woman he had finally picked to be in a relationship with was not right for him, she was wrong and crazy.He didn't want to admit that he
~ POLICE STATION ~"I am so sorry," James apologized as he walked into his office to meet Keir waiting for him. He had been in the interrogation room questioning one of the men that they were able to arrest at the warehouse when someone came to inform him that Keir was here to see him.He figured it was something important because Keir could have just called him over the phone instead of leaving the hospital and coming all the way here."It's fine," Keir said. "This is the autopsy result for Rue.""I am guessing it is not of natural cause," James said collecting the file Keir was handing over to him, he opened it and read the content, it seemed Sandy had been poisoning her slowly over the month with some substance and then there was signs of strangulation on her neck, as well as a sign of her being brutally raped in the anus and vagina but not by a man but it looks like an object, maybe a mop stick.James's face darkened at the information on the paper, This was a gruesome death, he h
It seemed his words got to Martha because the next minute he watched her ass moving down and up his dick, he remained on the bed watching her back as a low moan escaped his lips, he could see her breast jingling on the side from her back. "Fuck," Atlas muttered. She was so fucking hot sitting with her back face to him and fucking him like this, if he knew she was this good at it he could have gotten her to do it a long time ago. Martha continued to pound on Atlas's dick as fast as she could, she felt her legs shaking at the interval, she wanted to turn around to see what Atlas was doing but she didn't exactly want to see his face, she just wanted them to be over and done with it. She could feel Atlas's length in her and she was sure he was about to release, she continued pounding on him as she felt his hand on her ass helping her. "Yes, don't stop," Atlas said then shoved her off to the side of the bed as he released himself on the floor immediately. "Hurry, take it in your mouth,"
~ HOURS LATER ~"Where is Sandy?" Keir asked Atlas as he and James stepped into the living room to meet him watching an advertisement on his laptop that he was in while sipping wine from a wine glass. It didn't take long when the police officers stomped the office briefly showing Atlas their ID card and warrant to search his house before they went into different directions to check for any evidence as to why Sandy would choose to come to his house after the crime she had committed."How is Octavia?" James said sipping his wine and closing his laptop, "I heard she was kidnapped.""You heard or Sandy informed you?" James asked. "It will be best you inform us of her whereabouts because keeping a criminal or helping them is...""Against the law," James cut him off finishing his sentence for him. He knew they were going to eventually come to his house with a warrant because Sandy had told him she felt they were tailing her, he had gotten rid of any evidence that would get him in trouble im
"How are you feeling?" Keir asked standing beside the door with both of his hands in his pocket, Mrs. Cosmo and June had decided to excuse the both of them so they could properly talk. Even if Mrs. Cosmo didn't want to address it she could notice the tension between her daughter and Keir, it was obvious to her that there was more to their friendship, or maybe the sight of her almost dying had melted Keir's heart.He had been more worried about Octavia than even her mother so he followed James everywhere they went in search of Sandy but they couldn't find any leads on her."You ask me that after a whole week," Octavia frowned, she understood that Keir was with James this whole time but what stopped him from checking on her at least once to know how she was doing and if she was getting better? Did he not care about her?"Your mother informed me that you will be getting discharged today, I thought it would be best if I came now rather than later," Keir explained. "Do you know how fucking
~ COSMO'S MANSION ~~ OCTAVIA'S ROOM ~"Are you being serious right now?" June asked excitedly, She couldn't believe that Keir asked Octavia to marry him, she had imagined them getting married but she expected them to date first before Keir would pop the question, but it seemed the young man was full of surprises."I swear I was so fucking shocked, you should have seen my mouth wide open without words to express myself.""So, what did you say? tell me everything...details please," June smiled sitting on the bed next to Octavia, Due to the stab wound on Octavia's leg it was difficult for her to work around so she was forced to stay in bed even though she had just been discharged."No.""What the hell do you mean by No?""I was shocked Okay, how many times do I have to say that I know I love him and all but I had not envisioned us getting married, like the question to me off guard," Octavia explained and she was being honest. After Keir had asked her to marry him, she was dumbfounded an
~ HYDRA COMPANY ~~ KEIR'S OFFICE ~Keir signs the paper in front of him as he goes through the other page while his new assistant stands beside him explaining the details of each file to him to her best knowledge. She placed her hands behind her and at intervals adjusted her glasses to see properly as her vision wasn't that good."Mr Cooper thinks it will be a good idea for...""I already said we are not going to accept any offer from that brand, I believe I mentioned it in the last meeting we had with the shareholders, are you not taking notes of relevant information like this miss.. miss..""Madeline," she replied nervously. "Sorry about that sir."Keir stared at her and then back at what he was doing on his desk, his mind was so still occupied with the thoughts of Octavia rejecting his marriage proposal that he didn't have time to address the idiot who decided not to employ a professional for this job but an amateur who was not even willing to learn.He still didn't know why Octav
- MONTHS PASSED - - HARDIN’S MANSION - “Where are you going to?” Hardin asked, reaching out to June on the bed as he embraced her tightly from behind, planting a kiss on her ear. “Octavia is going to kill us if we don’t attend her baby shower,” June muttered. “Why does her baby shower have to be today?” Hardin groaned. After Conrad was arrested, they spent months going to the station, talking to the police, and going to the court to provide evidence and act as witnesses to make sure Conrad got locked up for good. Finally, the judge ruled in their favor and Octavia decided to put her baby shower on the one day that they needed to rest. Why? “We are not spending the whole day in her house remember,” June smiled, understanding Hardin’s frustration and his desire to spend the whole day with just her. She turned around and placed her hand on his cheeks. “We could leave early.” “Early? Once I see Keir I don’t think early is going to come to mind, those two are still in their honeym
“What are you talking about?” Hardin asked."I need to show you something," June said, grabbing Hardin's laptop from the dining table and bringing it to the living room. She inserted a flash drive into the laptop and placed it on the table. Hardin sat down next to her, already repeating what she had said again in his head, ‘I have been faking it’. His eyes widened slowly as it dawned on him what June meant, but she showed him the video already playing, interrupting his thoughts. - VIDEO RECORDING -Emma places her phone on the top shelf. She goes back and looks around to check if the camera is showing. She rushes back to sit on the office chair in the library. Soon Conrad steps in, discussing something over the phone. His eyes flare up at the sight of Emma sitting in his seat in his library. “What the hell do you think you are doing sitting in my seat?” Conrad asked, disconnecting the call and placing his phone back into his pocket. “I thought it best to come and play with my hus
An hour later, Conrad arrived at Hardin’s house, and Hardin felt anxious when he opened the door and caught sight of him.He glanced at June and noticed how she was nervous to see Conrad. He wondered what she was up to. “I’m glad to see you, June,” Conrad whispered. He walked over to June, about to give her a hug, as Hardin stopped him by raising his hand to his chest and shoving him off. “Don’t touch her,” Hardin warned. This meeting was already taking a lot from him to endure. If he touched her, he wouldn’t hesitate to take him out.“We should all sit down and talk,” June asked, like she wasn’t aware of the tension between the two men.Hardin and Conrad stare at each other for a moment, both trying to contain the resentment they held towards each other for June’s sake. They finally sit on the couch and June sits next to Conrad instead of Hardin. Her action doesn’t go unnoticed by Hardin, who eyes flare up, but he allows it. “This should be a private conversation. He shouldn’t be
Hardin was furious and bewildered by June’s desire to meet Conrad. He understood that she had lost her memory and couldn’t remember Conrad, but wasn't that enough reason for her not to want to see him?He ran his fingers through his hair as he got to his feet, pacing around, trying to process her request. “June, I don’t think this is a good idea. Look, you don’t know the kind of person Conrad is. I mean, he is not the person you think he is.” Hardin voiced out, hoping June would back down.“Allow me to see him, Hardin.” She said, with a straight face.Hardin sighed heavily. This was the last thing he wanted. “Why can’t you listen to me, June? I just told you he is not the person you think he is, and he doesn’t love you. "He's nothing but a liar," Hardin muttered through clenched teeth.“Why do you think so, Hardin? Just allow me to meet him. You don’t have to be so stiff about it.” “Stiff?”“I want to meet with him. I don't remember anything. You make it sound like I do and I am int
Hardin held June in his arms for almost five minutes until he realized she had fallen asleep and stopped crying.He lovingly tucked a strand of hair behind her ear as he kissed her forehead. "I promise to protect you from any harm," he whispered, carrying her in his arms.He got up on his feet and laid her gently on the bed, covering her with the duvet. He smiled at her. She looked so beautiful when she was asleep. He could watch her this way without being tired.His mind finally drifted to that call Maria had placed. Something must have caused June to act like this. A frown suddenly fell on his face at the thought of Maria probably doing something to trigger her. Seething with anger, he stormed into the living room, “Maria! Maria!!” He called out to her as she rushed from the kitchen into the living room, bowing her head down. “Maria, what did you do to her? I specifically instructed you not to stress her out,” Hardin bellowed, his voice filled with frustration.Maria, her eyes dow
June stumbled back, her head pounding with confusion. She couldn’t remember who this man was, and it left her feeling disoriented. “Who are you?” she asked, her voice trembling.Conrad looked hurt by her question. He took a deep breath and said, “June, it’s me, Conrad.”“Conrad?” June muttered. In the hospital, she remembered uttering that name, but couldn't piece it together. “I- I am sorry, but Conrad, from where? I don’t know you.”“You do. We’ve been dating for over a year now. How can you not remember me?” Conrad lied.“What?” June questioned. That couldn’t be possible. Hardin was her boyfriend. His mother was here just now to confirm that they were indeed dating, and she wasn’t pleased about it."I was in a car accident, which is why I couldn't reach out to you earlier," Conrad explained, stepping towards her, but June stepped back.“Please Sir, leave,” Maria finally spoke up, seeing the distraught look on her madam’s face.“Who are you?” Conrad asked, but Maria didn’t reply to
"Mrs Scott?" June said. Hardin had mentioned his mother but he barely said much about her, he told her he would explain better today but now here she was. How did she know Hardin was here?"Where is my son? I want to see him," Mrs Scott asked looking behind June to see if Hardin was there."I told you Ma, he is not here," Maria replied angrily, she had been repeating over and over again that Mister Hardin wasn't around but Mrs Scott refused to believe her. "Will you shut up?" Mrs Scott yelled at her."He is not around at the moment but if you want to wait for him you can," June said in a low voice."No Ma'am, Sir said she shouldn't come in," Maria shook her head not accepting what her madam was saying."It's fine Maria, I will handle the situation, you don't need to worry about it," June reassured her seeing the terrified look on her face, it seemed Hardin had given her strict rules to not allow anyone inside including his mother.But why his mother? Was he hiding something from her?
By nighttime, June decided to take her bath and get some rest. As she took her shower the scent of the bathing soap felt familiar in her nose as she scrubbed her body trying to remember anything but she couldn't.She emerged from the bathroom afterward, her freshly washed face glistening under the soft glow of the vanity lights. Dressed in her cozy pajamas, she climbed onto the bed, preparing herself for a good night's sleep. As she settled under the covers, the door creaked open, and there stood Hardin. He held his pajamas, ready to freshen up and join her in bed.He dropped the pajamas on the bed and went to take a quick shower when he came back he had a white towel over his waist. June stared at his body, his raven-black hair was slicked back, water droplets glistening on his chiseled chest and strong shoulders. Her choice of boyfriend wasn't so bad she smiled to herself, he was not only handsome but also sexy. A smirk danced upon his lips as he caught June admiring his post-show
June felt her heart leap out of her chest at Hardin's words, her lips parted as she tried to say something but there was nothing coming to her head. That kiss had done something to her and she knew deep down Hardin could see it in her eyes.They both remained still staring deep into their eyes but that brief moment of blissful oblivion was shattered when the maid unexpectedly entered the room.Startled by what was going on, she quickly averted her eyes and mumbled an apology, "I'm sorry for interrupting. I didn't know you had company, Sir." Her face turned crimson as she hastily headed back inside. Hardin and June exchanged a sheepish glance before breaking into a light chuckle. "It's quite alright, Maria" Hardin reassured the flustered maid stopping her on her track as she turned around bowing her head to them. "June, this is Maria, your new housekeeper."Maria nodded, still blushing, and extended a polite greeting, "Nice to meet you, Ma'am. If you need anything, don't hesitate to
