Mark and Leia had been running for what felt like hours, their breaths ragged and their hearts pounding. They had stumbled upon this cave in a desperate bid to escape the clutches of the big boss and his relentless henchmen. Now, as Leia rested her back against the damp, rocky wall, her chest heaved with exertion. The darkness of the cave enveloped them, offering a sliver of safety in an otherwise perilous situation.Outside, the big boss had ordered his patrol to scour the area, leaving no stone unturned in their search for his fugitives. The tension in the cave was palpable as Mark and Leia strained their ears for any signs of pursuit."So what now?" Leia asked. "They're after us."Mark sighed, knowing that what she was saying was true. "I don't know. Maybe we can wait it out in this cave," he replied.Just then, Mark's sharp eyes caught a flicker of movement at the cave entrance. He nudged Leia, and she froze, her fear mirroring the uncertainty in his eyes. The henchman who had jus
The smell of gunpowder filled the air as bullets continue to whisk past them. Opal dove into the ground, escaping some shots merely by luck. "Retreat! Take cover!" She yelled, realising that in their current position, they could stand toe to toe against Mark's men.As they rushed backwards, a bullet sunk into the shoulders of one of Opal's men, ten impact making him to fall face down and roll. Opal quickly hopped over a rock, finding cover behind it as she rested her back against it, her chest heaving with exhaustion. She retrieved her gun and reloaded it, holding it tight with both her arms as she prepared for anything."Opal! I'm here, come out and fucking face me!" His voice resonated through the air, meeting her ears. He sounded like he was close, she wasn't sure how close, but close enough. Closer than he should be.She takes in a deep breath, "Fuck off!" She yelled back, hoping to deter him."Face me you coward!" He spat, his voice laced with anger."No!" She replied, her tone m
Mark's eyes cracked open slowly, adjusting to the sterile, white surroundings of the hospital room. His head throbbed with pain, and every movement sent waves of discomfort through his body. He tried to remember how he had ended up here, but the events leading to this moment were a blur.As his vision cleared, Mark noticed two police officers standing by his bedside, their faces stern and unwavering. They were ready to question him, to unravel the web of events that had led to this tumultuous situation.Before they could begin their interrogation, the door to the hospital room swung open, and Kasen entered, his expression sombre. He walked over to the police officers and said something in a hushed tone. They nodded and reluctantly left the room, leaving Mark alone with Kasen.Mark tried to sit up, but the pain in his body made him wince. "Kasen, what's going on?"Kasen pulled up a chair and sat down, his gaze fixed on Mark. "I'll just talk to the inspector, it won't take long," he sai
Kasen and Leia stood in the dimly lit, small brick-walled room, their hearts pounding in their chests. The air was thick with tension, and the sound of trickling water echoed through the enclosed space, a chilling reminder of their predicament. Leia's eyes darted around, desperately searching for an escape route, but there were no windows, no doors, just cold, damp stone walls that seemed to be closing in on them. Her breaths came in short, panicked gasps as the water steadily crept up from cracks. She couldn't swim, and the rising water terrified her. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she began to cry. She sniffled a sob, trying to control her emotions. Kasen, determined to keep them both calm, reached out and gently touched Leia's shoulder. "Hey, Leia, listen to me," he said, his voice steady but laced with concern. "We need to stay calm and think this through. Panicking won't help us." Leia nodded, though her tears continued to flow. Kasen helped her press her back against t
Leia clung to Opal, her body trembling as tears streamed down her face. Her friend lay in her arms, pale and fading, her life slipping away with each passing moment. The atmosphere seemed to close in around them, as if walls were pressing in on them, bearing witness to the tragedy that had unfolded.Amidst her heart-wrenching sobs, Leia's tear-blurred eyes rose to meet the gaze of the man who had just tried to take her life. It was the big boss, his face bruised and battered, his trousers stained with blood. He regarded Leia with disdain, his lip curled into a cruel sneer. He pointed the gun at her once more, his voice laced with a chilling determination."Second time's a charm," he hissed, his finger tightening on the trigger.Leia's world seemed to freeze at that moment. She closed her eyes, expecting the deafening gunshot to be the last sound she would ever hear. Death felt imminent, a crushing weight that pressed upon her chest.But then, the sound she heard was not the gunshot sh
**************CHAPTER 1Click! Click!! Click!!Flash!!!The photographers went crazy taking as many photos as they could. A renowned entertainment reporter who got in with ease raised her voice so she could be heard while broadcasting. "I'm Katherine from Channel Enertainment, Tonight, we're outside the wedding reception hall of the hottest bachelor and one of the youngest and most successful men alive, Kasen Sky and his bride, Leia Dash who as of yesterday was still a local journalist.” With her opening speech, she succeeded in earning the attention of some people present.“The union between these two proves that love conquers all, even backgrounds," she reported with a calm smile adorning the sides of her face.It was a public display of hate but no one questioned or criticised her because she was not alone.Despite their mockery outside, inside the hall was the sound of heavy music playing and cheering from the crowd as the couple in question danced happily to the fast jazz mus
The kiss turned passionate as Kasen took hold of the opportunity to express his need, love and desire for her.She reciprocated his tempestuous kiss, opening her mouth further to give him entrance.He took hold of the opportunity, leaving no corner unexplored.It was both ho and inviting as they held nothing back and allowed their lips and head to move in sync, colliding in a well-known dance.Their breaths quickened. Leia’s senses blurred with how intensely he was kissing now. Still, she lost reasons to stop him as her body craved more—wanted more and needed more.Kasen reached for her zipper, slowly unzipping till her dress came loose, revealing her sexy transparent lingerie lace piece.Leia sucked in a deep breath, feeling the cold air in the fully air-conditioned room assault her hot skin. “Aahh…” Leia moaned out the second his lips trailed soft kisses down her neck to her cleavage and sucked hard on her exposed flesh.A light shudder crept up her spine, forcing her to ache her
******** It was already 24 hours since Kasen was taken away from Leia. Without being told, she knew she had to be strong to stand in his place and she got ready for that. "Mrs. Sky, you have to be strong and ready,' Leia chanted inwardly as she stared at her reflection in the mirror, desperate for strength. She needed it before going to pay a visit to Kasen's family, without Kasen. If she had known better, perhaps she would not have bothered. In the end, things did not turn out great and the family of vipers finally found a way to get back at her and point their fingers in her face. "You cursed thing…" her mother-in-law yelled as she pounced on her, ready to tear her apart as she pulled Leia by the hair, leaving her with no defence. Where had it all gone wrong? Sadly, from the very beginning. Right from when she chose to step foot into the Sky family’s mansion. As planned, she had arrived at the family house to relay the gravity of things to his dearly beloved family. N
