McKenna's POV.
Crying is the act of shedding tears in response to an emotional state. But after a certain threshold, even the tears runs out.
My tears had long run out, and yet another sun was on the verge of setting. Another sunset without Dixon's arms wrapped around me every night when we'd go to the balcony after dinner to watch the sun disappear on the horizon and how he'd pull me closer when we played games in the living room with Ian and Liam.
It had become their thing. A tradition that we never miss. I remember how Dixon would rush through meetings to make it back home in time before the sky is painted in various hues of purples and oranges. He'd kiss me softly as the last hue of orange disappeared, and I remember feeling like the happiest girl in the world.
Dixon.
He would have noticed her missing by now. I can't even imagine the pain and worry that he and every other person will

Third Person's POV.BANG!It all happened in a split second. Dixon had turned around with a frown on his face as McKenna ran straight at him. But just as she reached him, her body jolted back into him, taking the impact of the bullet. It was the bullet that was to take his life. She took the bullet for him.One of the officers took the gun from Trevor quickly as another shot him in the leg. He let out a scream in pain. Sophie ran into the room, curious as to what caused the noise.Simon stared at the woman that came in with shock evident on his face. What was she doing here dressed as an FBI agent, he thought to himself as they stared at each other. He opened his mouth to say something, but the other agents pushed him and the others out of the room."MCKENNA!" Dixon shouted as he wrapped his arms around her, who came toppling down. Her eyes were filled with pain and tears, enough to make her u

Life is good. Life is perfect. I can't wish for anything more. I'm happy. A sigh left my lips as I laid down beside my handsome boyfriend, Jason. Today is our anniversary and I plan to make it a memorable one.I’m giving my virginity to Jason. Jason and I have been dating for almost two years now, he's the most caring guy I've ever met. It’s about time I do that to show him I appreciate him cause I do.I remember how we met like yesterday;"Shit" I cursed under my breath realizing how late I am. I really hate mornings, I mean I've always hated them but I think my hate just got worse. I ran hoping to make a journey of 15 mins shorter. I bumped into some wall or rather, someone."Fuck, I'm sorry.” He said.I shook my head muttering "It’s okay". He bent down to help me gather my assignments that are now littered all over the floor. He handed them over to me and I felt myself being
It's been two weeks.Two weeks since I received that horrible news, Two weeks since I lost my parents and my brother.My parents, Alyssa & Alexander Wright are the best parents any kid can ever ask for. Even after 30 years of marriage, they are still very much in love. My family is wealthy, my dad is the CEO of the Wright's enterprises. My mom is one of the best interior designers in the country, she's really respected and together they're known as the golden couple. They have 3 kids- Ian Wright, Liam Wright and I.We were rich but very humble. My mom is from a very poor family, she was bullied all her life and she vowed to teach her kids how to always respect and help anyone in need. We didn't go to elite school like most rich kids, we lived a very normal life.When I was seventeen, I had an accident and lost most memories from my childhood. I was on my way home from the library, I didn't see the pregnant
Luke left the hospital around 3pm with Liam. He asked to take care of him for the day, which I don't really mind at all. In fact, I needed the space.I stayed in the hospital for 2 more hours before finally going home. Seeing my uncle today actually lifted my spirit a little.When I got home, the door was slightly opened making me wonder what happened. I do remember locking it before leaving. Walking in, I felt my heart beating really fast in fear. The house is empty, no sign of anything suspicious. Walking into Jason and I’s bedroom, I noticed something was off. The suitcase Jason used when we first moved in was missing. I checked the closet and I noticed his things gone.What could possibly be wrong? Where is he? Did he travel without telling me? I took my phone from my back pocket wanting to give him a call.Unlocking it, I see a voicemail from him. With trembling hands, I clicked on it and brought the phon
"Don't even dare say it.” I snapped at Luke who has a smug smile on his face."I didn’t even say anything." He said."Yeah but I'm sure you were planning to.”I said just as the elevator dinged and we stepped out of the elevator.I saw a guy that looked to be in his mid-twenties behind the front desk. He has a beautiful pair of hazel eyes and blond hair that he styled perfectly with gel. He looks cute. I gave him a smile and he smiled back."Jonah, this is McKenna Wright. She's the one replacing Ian for the time being. Kenny, that's Jonah. Ian's personal assistant." Luke said."Hi, Ms.Wright. Please, accept my condolences. I look forward to working with you.” Jonah said giving me a handshake.I took his hand in a gentle handshake. "Thank you. Pleasure meeting you, Jonah. I hope we'll work well together" He nodded.L
Luke excused himself while I made my way to my office. The meeting officially starts in 10 minutes, I've got to be prepared. I plan on making a good impression. A knock on the door brought me out of my thoughts."It's time, Ma'am, they just arrived and are waiting in the conference room." He said."Really, Jonah? Ma'am? Seriously?" I asked with my eyebrow raised. He smiled."Just call me McKenna." I said and waved my hand to dismiss him."But..." He said."Don't worry, I’ll be there in a minute." I said. He nodded and left.I looked around the office and sighed. There's no going back now. If I plan to make my parent proud, I have to do it the right way and learn to trust myself. This is step one to greatness. Please, guide me mom and dad. I need your strength, Ian.I took all the documents I needed, my laptop and my phone. I took a deep breath and stepped out

Third Person's POV.Everyone turned to look at the young woman who walked in like she had no care in the world with Dixon's father. Sophie knew that her coming here was a big step. The guys were intelligent, they would've uncovered the truth by now, but they don't know her mission yet.David stopped in his tracks when he saw his son. The two stared at each other, one not believing his eyes and the other thinking he doesn't want to see him. David moved closer to his son as he enveloped him in a tight hug. He couldn't believe his son was back after everything that had happened. Dixon smiled a little when he saw the exchange. Even though his dad never admits it, he knew how much he missed Leo. Luke saw red, anger coursing through every vein in his body. Sophie was the one that kidnapped her. What the hell was she doing here?"What are you doing here? Where did you take Kenna?" Ian said, his voice dripping with anger and hatred. "Wh
McKenna's POV.I opened my mouth to say something, but no words could form. The pain shooting from the back of my head also isn't helping matters. I watched as she walked to Trevor and placed a chaste kiss on his lips."What are you doing? I don't want my girl thinking we have a thing." He turned to me, an innocent smile on his face, but I knew better. "Don't worry, baby. I'm all yours."What the hell is he saying? He ran his finger down my cheek to my neck. Itried fighting him off, but I couldn't. His touch made my skin crawl, and I did the next reasonable thing I could think of at that moment. I spat on his face.He closed his eyes, letting my saliva trail down the side of his face. He laughed as he wiped it off. My face turned to the side as a harsh slap landed on my cheek. Another kick landed on the side of my stomach, making my insides churn. I swallowed my tears. If they think they can brea
McKenna's POV.My body hurts. I could feel the pain shooting at every single muscle in my body, my head pounding and some liquid flowing down my face. My hand reached out to massage my throbbing temples trying to alleviate some of the pain, but frustration coursed through my body at the inability to move.'Ugh, my head hurts.'I slowly opened my eyes to see that I was in a dark room except for the light peeking through the small window at the top of the room. I looked around the room for a way out, but there's nothing except the window.What am I doing here? How did I get here? I can't remember anything. Think, Kenny. Think. The only thing I seem to remember was the restroom and Sophie. My eyes seem to widen as I finally realized what happened. Yes, Sophie brought me here."Sophie!!! Sophie!!!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. My head hurts, but I need to talk to her. I'm sure she has he
Dixon's POV.I feel so happy and complete sitting here with Leo like old times. Seeing my brother after so many years has fulfilled me in more ways than one."She's a keeper then?" He asked me some minutes after McKenna left for the restroom. I looked up at him and smiled."Yeah, she is.""I'm proud of you, baby bro. You have no idea how much pride and joy I felt whenever I see you on television.""That weirdly made me feel good." I laughed out. I watched as his countenance changed within seconds. I know that look. He's beating himself up again."I'm sorry, Dix. I should have been there for you when you needed me the most. I should have believed in you sooner. I should've known you're strong enough to fight the disease. I shouldn't have walked out on you that day. I shouldn't---""You really need to stop apologizing. It's all behind us now.
McKenna's POV.I stared at the building in front of me in disbelief. I can't believe Dixon brought me here. I took my eyes off the building to look at him. He had both hands in his pockets as he stared in concentration at the building."A rehabilitation center?"He shrugged his shoulders before moving closer to the building. I placed my hand on his biceps to stop him. I can't, for the life of me, understand why he brought me here."What are we doing here, Dixon? You said we were going somewhere. I didn't know you were bringing me to a rehab center?""You don't want to come? We could go back if you want. I only came because you promised to come with me." His eyes looked sad as he said that. My brain seemed to receive some signal as I remembered the promise I made him."It's okay. I'm sorry you went through all that. I could go with you if you don't mind."
McKenna's POV."Well, well, well. If it isn't my favorite cousin."Dixon turned to him, anger emitting from him as he squeezed my hand.I placed my hand on his biceps, giving it a little squeeze, to calm him down. I don't want him getting angry at this event. It's supposed to be our breath of fresh air considering everything we've been through recently."What do you want, Trevor?" Trevor sipped his drink like he had no care in the world. The disgusting smirk on his face irks me to my bone, making my skin crawl."Can't a man be happy for his cousin? I came to celebrate with you. Congratulations on opening a new office, Dix.""Don't you fucking dare call me that!! You have no right." I can see the vein on his neck at this point. He's angry. I just hope he doesn't have a tantrum again. I looked at the man standing in front of me. He had a nasty smirk on his face and a glass with whiskey in his hand. I can't
