She walked to where the supplies were and picked up a polished and sleek pistol. Reynolds came to stand beside her and did same but opted for a classic revolver.

Both took their position at the shooting line. "Go on first," Reynolds said. Amy aimed with determination at the bullseye on the target board. She pulled the trigger,and the bullet went straight to hit the bullseye.

She turned to Reynolds who only smiled and aimed at his target board. Within seconds, his bullet hit the bullseye as well. The sound of shots rang out intermittently as both focused on their targets.

The game continued until it was left with the last shot for each of them to make. Amy could already smell her victory. She aimed at her target and just as she pulled the trigger, her phone rang making her lose her aim and shooting below the bullseye. She groaned.

Who in the world would be calling her now. "Aren't you going to answer that?" Reynolds chuckled. He had clearly won the game. She whisked her phone from

    Reynolds sat at his table in his study. He twirled his pen between his fingers. When he had entered the study and sat down, he realized he couldn't get any work done because Amy Bennet, the woman with his last name was evading his mind. Who knew he'd be looking to hang out with her. Initially when she was to move in his space, that is his home, he had psyched his mind that he would consider her to be someone who needed a place to stay and that she would leave as soon as she found another place. With that, he had been quite at ease. Because the thought of having someone else sleep next room had kept him awake a couple of times but here he was, looking for chances to be with her. How ridiculous of him. He couldn't help it but liked the way her eyes lit up when she got excited about something or how she had glared at him when she lost the game. Reynolds could have just let her win, but he knew he'd never hear the end of it if Amy realized he had cheated for her. He laughed, shaking

    On the ride home, Amy let her mind wander to Diana Bennet, Reynolds mother and her mother-in-law. Mother in-law sounded absurd to her, but she had no choice, she would learn to put up with the name tags until she could get her freedom back.She casted her mind back to when she had first met her at her father's party and then when she went over to their place to drop off some flowers. Amy was a good judge of character and even though she and Reynolds mother hadn't had the time to bond she could tell the kind of person she was.Diana was quite short but what she lacked in height she made up for in beauty. She was very beautiful, most of the wives of wealthy men were expected to be beautiful but Diana's beauty had a particular softness and natural touch to it. She could tell that she was pushy and liked to have her way most of the time. Well she had to come up with a plan to stop her from going into Reynolds bedroom no matter what.The car came to halt, jolting Amy from her seat and cut

    Amy and Mrs Diana turned in unison to find Reynold standing behind them. "Oh Reynolds, you've made me a very happy mother". Mrs Diana went over to him and enveloped him in a hug. Reynolds looked at Amy from over his mother's shoulder and raised his eyebrows at her. Amy averted her eyes and fixed them on her feet. "What did I do to deserve such show of affection mother?" Reynolds pulled away from his mother and asked."Your wife here just told me of your intention for the two of you to have children. And so early at that, I'm so delighted" She said and put her arms around his neck in delight. Amy turned to look at the expression on his face, fearing what it might be but still looking anyway. The muscles on his face had been stretched out taut , as though he was trying to keep his mouth shut.His eyes had turned into slits and immediately Amy caught his eyes,she pushed herself off the bench. "I...I was just so excited and before I could catch myself I had already spilled the news and

    Reynolds sat in his seat, swiveling from side to side. After leaving the office last night he had assigned two guards to trail Luke and keep an eye on him. Reynolds knew he had to do more than just watch him but he couldn't trust himself not to go into blind fury and beat the crap out of Luke.He hated sympathy, he was ruthless to his enemies, surely Luke was an enemy now and he was going to deal with him as such. This was why he did not fancy the idea of keeping friends. After what Nicholas and Ann did to him, he decided not to let anyone in but Luke was easy, he was always there, even with his occasional spells of anger, he was still stuck and he had come to love being around him and his wife.Not anymore, Luke had taken a document very crucial to the survival of his father's company, something that could destroy the company if it landed in the wrong hands. At that point Luke was dragged into the office by two bodyguards. "Let go of me!' he struggled."Luke, have a seat, ' Reynol

    Amy looked at Reynolds sitting pitifully on the floor and realized she would never get to see him in such a situation after now. As much as she relished seeing the high and mighty Reynolds in such condition, it scared her a little bit that he could be normal like the rest of them, be drunk and throw caution into the wind."Reynolds let me help you up". Amy said and grabbed his hand, pulling him up to his feet. Unfortunately she did not properly judge the distance between them and as she pulled him up, his body plastered against hers, making her reel backwards. The feel of his body on hers sent tingling sensations to various parts of her body making her stagger backwards again.Reynolds put his hands around her waist holding her steady, preventing her from falling. "I'm the drunk here or am I not?" Reynolds asked her as his eyes roamed every inch of her body, making her terribly aware of herself. Amy shook her head as though to dispel the terrible thoughts making their way into her he

    Amy groaned and turned her face the other way as a fragment of sunlight shone on her face. The bed didn't feel familiar and her eyes shot open. The events of the last night came back to her and she looked down into the duvet and sighed. She looked around the room but didn't see any sign of Reynolds. Was she even expecting him to still be there waiting for her?She questioned herself. Typical of him to bolt, was she so bad that he couldn't wait to get away from her, she thought.She untangled herself from the duvet and made her way to her nightie which was slung over the chair. She put it on, looked at the bed one more time, thought of making the bed but decided not to. Opening the door, she peeped outside to check if anyone was outside. When the coast was clear, she closed the door behind her and walked back to her room.She picked up her phone from where she left it plugged on the nightstand and put it on. "12pm!It's midday already?" Amy screamed. There were calls on her phone, cal

    Ann pulled out the seat opposite Reynolds and sat, placing her Gucci bag gingerly on the table. "What do you want Ann?" Reynolds asked. Ann searched his face for some form of emotion but was met with his blank consistent stare. "That is no way to welcome me Reynolds" Ann said and smiled sardonically. "You have no right to come to my office and demand a warm welcome or any form of welcoming at that"."I'm here to get you back, I left Nicholas 4 months ago". Reynolds smiled a tight lipped smile and cocked his head to one side. "Are you really stupid enough or delusional enough to think that there is any chance for you in my life?". "Oh come on Reynolds, people make mistakes, cut me some slack here". "You have some nerve coming here Ann, if you are done you can leave"."I sacrificed everything for you Reynolds, I left my job, ended my modeling career for you, for our relationship". "No Ann you left your job for yourself, because you were too lazy and more of an entitled brat to work,

    Amy took extra time with her appearance today, she had on a gray cashmere sweater paired with black wide leg pants. Today they were going to pay a visit to Reynolds grandmother who couldn't attend the wedding because of her health. Apparently the proper thing was for the couple to pay her a customary visit together. She chuckled at the word couple, it sounded surreal to her. She looked at her makeup kit, thought for a while and decided to settle with less makeup for today, although heavy under her eyes to hide her freckles.Reynolds had left the house early after his morning jog, he had something urgent to sort out in the office. She had canceled all her appointments for the day and told Jane to take care of any other important thing. Apparently Reynolds thought she needed the whole day to get ready to visit his grandma. Surely she wasn't that bad that she needed to take extra time to ponder on which clothing to wear. She stood in front of her shoe rack and debated on which heels t

    "How could you tell that detective that I had issues with Amy?" Sarah screamed at Jessie. Without waiting for her to reply she launched again, "and you eavesdropped on my phone call? Jess you eavesdropped on my phone call with my husband and went ahead to snitch on me to make yourself look good". "I did not snitch on you Sarah at least it was not my intention to, he was just so persistent and made me say it" Jessie said slowly. "How could you throw her under the bus to save yourself Jessie?" Ava asked and shook her head in disappointment.The first day of the interrogations had ended with only Jessie and Sarah being the first two to be interrogated. Ava had asked everyone to meet after the whole day to get to know what happened and as a form of emotional support but things were gradually going South between Sarah and Jessie. "I…I didn't know what to say Sarah. It was like he was seeing into my soul and I couldn't shake the feeling off that was why I told him the first thing that

  • TRAPPED IN THE BILLIONAIRE’s BARGAIN   SARAH

    Detective Jones picked up the next file in front of him; the name on it read Sarah O’Brien, she was Luke's wife. Luke who happened to be the personal assistant to Reynolds Bennet and his close friend too. In a way she was the closest to the Bennet’s and would probably have more information than any other person could. He flipped open his note to where Sarah’s name was scribbled and peered at it, so far he had not been able to deduce any falling out or argument between her and Amy but that was the scary thing. The hidden resentments were usually the worst because when it manifested it usually was fatal. A knock sounded on the iron door and he pushed his chair back and rose to his feet, it was time for the next person.“Sarah O’Brien right?” detective Jones asked and stretched his hand to the woman at the door. “Yes,” Sarah said and took his hand. “Please step into the room” he said and moved to one side, giving her just enough space to go in. He watched her walk into the room and

    Detective Jones stood behind the door of the compact sized room used as storage for the numerous files which harbored the cases that had been brought to the station since it had been erected. Cases some of which had been investigated properly while some cast away and long forgotten, their files now accumulated with dust and fraying at the edges. They filled the room at one end and spilled into the other end at one side. Detective Jones had spent half of the night moving and shoving things to one side of the room, leaving the other side of the room bare but which now had a small table with two chairs one on each side of the table sitting in it. He planned to convert the room into a makeshift interrogation room just like the one they had and used in the headquarters when they brought in people for questioning.Detective Jones yanked the cranky door open and strolled into the room, he walked towards the only window in the room and pushed it open, letting the slant ray of sunlight fil

    Amy weaved through the throng of people as she made her way to the table where her friends sat. Sarah stood up and hugged her as well as she could, given that the size of her stomach had increased by 3 since the last time they had met, which was at her baby shower. “How are you doing Amy? You refused to see any of us for almost a week since that incident” Sarah said and led her to a seat. “Are you finally out from your hiding?” Carie said and placed her hand on Amy’s lap. “I wasn’t in hiding, I just needed to get some things straight” Amy said to them.“We were all so worried about you Amy, we called your office but your secretary said you were not yet on seat. You refused to take our calls or respond to our messages, I hope you don’t blame us for what happened that day” Ava said. “I am fine guys but there is a problem, I am not allowed to speak or talk to anyone who was present during the baby shower because there is going to be an investigation because I was obviously framed fo

    Reynolds sat in the waiting area waiting for the police superintendent. It had been 3 days since Amy's arrest and their last meeting and he couldn’t let it pile up any longer, he came in early in the morning because he needed to do something about the whole situation. He had contacted Luke the night before and they discussed strategies and plans to go about Amy’s case and how to prove that she was not guilty and they had come up with plans which he was here to try out.The door to the office opened and the man stepped out and gestured for Reynolds to come in. “Mr. Bennet please come in” he said and Reynolds followed him into the office he had been in for like the 5th time in one week. “I want to know what types of investigations are being carried out on my wife’s case,” Reynolds asked. “Well Mr. Bennet, we have not yet commenced investigations on your wife’s case” the superintendent said and rapped his fingers on the table.Reynolds was having a feeling that at this point this cou

    “Mr. Bennet I’m sorry but that will be quite difficult to achieve at this moment. We don’t take it likely with drug offenders and the case has been transferred to the DEA’s table” the police superintendent said to a grim faced Reynolds who was sitting in front of him. “How is that even possible? You arrested my wife last night and in the space of less than 24 hours the case has been transferred to the DEA’s table? I know the amount of paperwork involved in transferring cases Mr. Superintendent so do not try to fuck with me. I want my wife’s case transferred to the headquarters” Reynolds said again. “Mr. Bennet I’m afraid that cannot happen, this is my jurisdiction and it is a sensitive case which…” “Don’t tell me it’s a sensitive case Goddammit” Reynolds shouted and banged the table in front of him with a clenched fist. “I want my wife out of that cell this minute and for her case to be transferred to the headquarters or else I will subtly fuck you up in ways you cannot imagine
