"Did you miss me?" Hardin smiled walking past her without waiting for her to let him in, he caught sight of Octavia as he placed his phone to his ear. "She is here," he said into the phone then disconnected it."Hardin?" Octavia nearly choked on her drink, She had been sure coming to June's house would be a safe space for her but with the sight of Hardin she wasn't sure of that anymore, the sight of him brought back the memories of what Keir had done to her into her head and the fact that Hardin was in on it angered her as a frown fell on her face."What the hell are you doing here?" June asked. She noticed there were some men in black outside while she was closing the door behind him. The fact that he was here the moment Octavia was also here meant that something was up, how the hell did he know that Octavia was here?"Trust me I didn't want to be here in the first place till my men told me it was your house," Hardin said. Keir had been on his neck regarding finding Octavia as soon
"You don't mean that," Keir said removing his hand from her shoulder and holding her hands in his, Her words were like a sword, every time she opened her mouth it felt like she was stabbing him right in the heart. He had sensed those words would eventually roll out of her mouth as she didn't seem to move by his words, The Octavia he remembered would have been crying right now but the look she had on her face was one he had never seen before, and didn't imagine he would ever be seeing. She hated him."Does it look like I am joking? I want a divorce, I don't want to have anything to do with you and this marriage seems to be the only thing tying us together.""I love you, I can't agree to...""I want a divorce Keir, You want to talk right?" Octavia asked removing her hands from his, "That's what I want.""Octavia," Keir said reaching out for her hand."Get your lawyers so we can get this over with as soon as possible," Octavia yelled heading back inside as Keir followed behind her tryi
Octavia opened her eyes slowly as she stared around, She caught sight of June sleeping on the couch opposite the bed. The last she remembered was Keir forcing her to get into a car against her wish."June," she called out getting out of the bed. Where the hell were they?"You are up?" June asked opening her eyes followed by a deep yawn and a stretch, She had fallen asleep on the couch while she was watching over Octavia. "Where the hell are we?""In a yacht, in the middle of the ocean and let me not forget to inform you that those bastards locked us inside this room till further notice," June said. When she had gone to gather some of her clothes, she felt that they were going back home but to her surprise, they had driven out of town and gotten into the yacht. At first, she thought it was another route that she wasn't familiar with but it dawned on her soon enough that Hardin and Keir were up to no good when they locked the door to the room leaving her and Octavia's unconscious body
"Here you go," Alex said offering Atlas a glass of wine as he took his seat opposite him. "Where is Sandy? We both know she came to you for help even though the police haven't figured out that part yet.""Safe.""Safe? We had a deal that you were going to kill her for me.""It's funny that this deal was the same deal you offered to Sandy, you sent her to kill me in exchange for whatever nonsense you were blackmailing her with. Did you think she wouldn't tell me?""Does it look like I care if she told you?" Alex smirked. He had tasked Sandy to get Keir and find out some information about the company's shares and how things were done in the company but the idiot went ahead to fall in love with Keir and decided to opt out of the plan. It was a good thing he had some interesting information about her past, he had blackmailed her with it, he thought she was going to be able to execute the plan perfectly when she started giving him valuable information about the company but she soon went b
Alex chuckled at Keir's words, right now his men were behind the yacht getting Octavia into their jet ski, he could have just taken off but he wanted to see Keir's face."Don't worry I won't have to if you hand over the shares.""What fucking shares? You are one sick bastard Alex, If I remember correctly Keir handed those shares to you and we all could it quits on the bet," Hardin said taking a drag from the cigarette, maybe it was a bad idea that June had tagged along, it sounded selfish but he didn't want anything to happen to June. This was Keir's issue, not his. "He handed those shares five years later and I know for a fact that those shares have made a lot of profit for Hydra company, I want those profits," Alex said. "Fine you get the fucking profits," Keir agreed. "When I see them, you will have your wife," Alex replied. He fired the gun aiming for Keir's shoulder but missed as the bullet penetrated Keir's stomach. Keir staggers back from the impact placing his hand on his s
June opened her eyes slowly as she stared around, she was in an unfamiliar room, and the last she remembered was Atlas tying her up while she tried to stay conscious and gain control of her own body.She jerked up at the thought of Atlas tying her, her eyes met Hardin instantly who was sitting on a chair looking right at her."You still have those nightmares?" He asked in a worried tone. He had found her gagged and tied in an unconscious state, he was grateful that Alex had not taken her along or maybe it was just pure luck because Alex had left his men to it and they felt Octavia was more important to their boss than June. "Octavia," June groaned bringing her hand to her forehead where she felt a migraine building up."We will find her, are you alright?" "They took her?" June gasped in disbelief as she got out of bed immediately but the moment her feet touched the ground, she felt the room spinning, she leaned back almost falling on the bed but Hardin was quick to rush to her side
Hardin leaned in and planted a kiss on her lips, "I don't know why you are avoiding me, if I am moving too fast for you we can take things slow.""Doesn't look like you like it slow?" June said."You did be surprised by the things I am willing to do for you.""I think Octavia is pregnant.""Avoiding things again," Hardin sighed disappointed that she wasn't willing to give in to him. "Did she tell you that?" Hardin asked letting go of June, he could tell she was trying all tactics to end the conversation he was trying to have about them, he didn't want to keep pushing forward, it was best to give her some breathing space for now. "She had a bump and she seemed out of place.""That doesn't prove anything," Hardin said. "So, if you have a bump should I tag it as you being pregnant?""Be serious Hardin.""Okay, let's say she is pregnant...""Who is pregnant?" Keir asked standing beside the door, he was walking down the corridor and overheard their conversation, he didn't mean to eavesdro
Octavia got out of bed the moment Alex left, she couldn't believe he would just say something like that. Wasn't he the same person who just said he didn't want to hurt her, was he going to shoot her?She remembered the look he had on his face when he said that, there was something different about him when he said that, or maybe she was just finally seeing for herself the monster he was.She walked up to the door, placed her hand on the doorknob, and to her amazement it gave way. It seemed he was really serious about her doing whatever she liked here, the only problem about this house was that it was in the middle of nowhere and she doubted that Keir or Hardin would be able to locate her on time.Even if they were able to locate her, would Alex give her up so easily to them? She was about to step out of the door to pursue after Alex and see if she could convince him to let her off when a maid walking down the hallway stopped in front of her bowing her head and saying something to her.
