Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Almost Like Therapy
Chris’s POVI hung up the call with Meghan, feeling a mix of frustration and resignation washing over me. This situation was becoming more complicated by the minute, and I could not shake the feeling that I was being dragged into a mess that was not entirely of my making.Or maybe it was. I mean, if Meghan was not lying, then it definitely was when it came to her being pregnant. But if it was about me not being a true Kingston, that was not my fault. Turning off my phone, I took a moment to collect my thoughts, the sound of my own breath filling the silence of the bathroom. I needed to focus, to figure out what my next steps should be. First and foremost, I needed to find a way to get in touch with Linda. Not to tell her about Meghan, no! Do you want me to die? It was just that the thought of her out there, possibly in danger, sent a shiver down my spine. I could not afford to waste any more time. Unlocking the bathroom door, I stepped out into the bustling atmosphere of the ballr
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Some Family Time
Chris’s POVIt was the next day and I had already sent my private jet to go and pick up Meghan. She would be here in a few hours. I did not want to do this alone, so I asked Lucy to come along. She was more than happy to do so. So now, I was getting ready, I did not really know what to wear because my usual attire was a business suit. If I was not wearing a business suit, then that meant that I was alone with Linda and would be wearing sweatpants and an unironed shirt. But besides that, I was not accustomed to wearing business casual. So yeah, it took me a while to find something to wear. Even after finding what I thought was okay, I still had mixed feelings about it. I can’t believe that I was doing this, but I sent one of the workers to get Hunter so he could help me out. Despite how strained the relationship was, he was still family…kind of. And there were times when we would put our differences aside and help each other. I was hoping this time would be one of those times. A k
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity The Hospital
Chris’s POVI winced at the flick to my ear, rubbing it lightly as I watched Hunter walk away with a smirk on his face. Some things never change, I thought to myself, shaking my head in amusement. I was impressed. That was one of the best and most civil exchanges we had ever had, we usually were always bickering and fighting. So that…that felt refreshing. With Hunter’s assistance and his unexpected offer to accompany me, I felt a bit more at ease about the impending confrontation with Meghan. Having him by my side might actually prove to be helpful, despite his tendency to be a nuisance. As I made my way downstairs so I could get on my way to meet Lucy, I met my father. He seemed busy and I think was on a Facetime call with someone. He only nodded my way before peeling away his focus from me. The whole situation with Meghan felt like it was a ticking time bomb, threatening to unravel everything I had worked so hard to build. But I could not dwell on that now. I had to focus on th

Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Threats And Ultimatums
Chris’s POVI was going to be a father, I was really going to be a father. The very thought scared me, but it also brought me a strange joy. If this was going to be with my wife, it would have been one of the best days of my life. But that was not the case and so it scared me. “I need to talk to you,” Meghan said, her eyes trained on me. “In private…we could find an empty room to do so.”Hunter looked at me, silently asking me if this was okay. I nodded and flashed a smile at Lucy before walking out of the room with Meghan. As she led me to a private room down the hall, my mind tried to think of what she was going to say. But of course, I was not going to be able to do that, I did not have superpowers. Uncertainty gnawed at me but I knew that I could not put this off nor could I escape it. Once we were alone in the room, she turned to face me, her expression unreadable. It bothered me that she was being so nonchalant. This was not how she usually was. “Chris,” She began, her voic
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Home, Sweet Home
Linda’s POVI had been discharged from the hospital and had also made a new friend. Zack seemed like such a nice person and he said that he knew a lot of great places to eat and have fun in China and would take me to see them as soon as I was feeling well. He had pointed out that those places were humble places. And honestly, I was down for it. I was tired of the luxurious and fine things, I needed a small break. But for now, I was stuck in the mansion. I found out that I had bruised a couple of ribs from the accident and the gash on my leg was not too deep. Even at that, they hurt like crazy when I tried to move aggressively. So if I did not move too aggressively, the pain would only be mild. As I settled back into the mansion, the quietness of the expansive rooms felt almost suffocating after the bustling hospital environment. And Chris was not here too, so it just made it even worse. I was missing him really badly. Despite the luxury surrounding me, I found myself yearning fo
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity We Finally Got Them
Linda’s POVFallon’s words sent a chill down my spine. What did she mean by “we finally got them”? And why did it feel like she was still playing this dangerous game, one that could cost me my life? “Fallon, I don’t care how close you think you are,” I said firmly, pushing through the pain in my ribs to maintain my resolve. “I’m not risking my life any longer. I need time to lay low, to figure things out.” There was a hint of desperation in her voice as she responded, “Linda…” She sighed. “Please, we are on the verge of finally exposing them. Just give me a little more time. A day?”But her pleas fell on deaf ears. I could not ignore the danger any longer, couldn’t pretend like everything was okay when it clearly wasn’t. This could be like the time when we went to that town, we had thought that we were so close to finally putting an end to all of this, but you know how that ended. I could not keep doing this. I did not think it was worth it for me to lose my life over Fallon getti
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Fixing Things
Linda’s POVI had showered and had breakfast, and had enjoyed both. I was back in the living room, and one of the maids helped me to take my medication. So I had nothing to do but just to watch reality shows and relax. But my heart kept getting slung to Chris, I missed him. Maybe I should call him? Maybe I should put my jealousy and ego aside and call him. Yeah, that was what I was going to do. I was going to call him. I reached for the landline that I had had the maid put on the coffee table for me in case I wanted to make or receive a call. I grabbed the colorless receiver and dialed Chris’s number, my heart pounding with anticipation. After a few rings, his voicemail picked up. I hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to way since I thought he was actually going to answer. I mean, he was the one who had been trying to reach me for the past few days. Taking a deep breath, I decided to leave a message. “Hey, Chris, it’s me,” I started, my voice showing that I was slightly nervou

Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity The End
Linda’s POVWe managed to get out of the burning room, and I swear I think I got a few burns but the adrenaline drowned the pain out. We were headed out and had no idea where the exit was due to how much smoke and fire was assaulting us from almost everywhere.The pinching pain in my belly was growing and as much as I tried to brush it off, it was getting harder to do with each step that I took.Suddenly, the roof caved in and fell to the ground causing us to be separated by angry flames. I was stuck on the other side and Chris and the others were away from me.Fear filled me and I took a few careful steps away from the raging fire. “Help!” I exclaimed.“Keep calm, Linda. We will find a way to get to you, but for now, I would recommend that you keep moving.” He pointed towards the ceiling.When I looked up, I saw that the fire was eating it up, it could fall at any second. “Okay!” I said loudly, so I could be heard above all the commotion. When I turned around to start moving, I was
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Gasoline
Linda’s POVI had never been so scared in my life, the room held a tension that I could not describe. It felt like a nightmare, a real one.It felt like I was hallucinating all of this, but deep down, I knew that I was not. This was real, and it was something that I could not escape from. “Please, think about the baby,” I begged Mr. Kingston, tears flowing from my eyes and snot running down my nose.“Did you think of the baby before you and your friends decided to f*ici up my life?” He asked, dark humor dancing in his eyes.“Light them up,” he said, walking away. In seconds he was out of the room. Kirby flashed me a sad look before her features hardened again. She then walked out, the doctor guy following her.I sniffled and then sobbed out even more. I was beginning to smell gasoline, the smell was overwhelming. Sh*t, they were going to burn us up. My vision got blurred for a few seconds before I blinked the tears away, making it clear again.The door opened and I saw Kirby and th

Linda’s POVThe call went through but after a few rings, there was no answer. My heart was thumping in my chest and more tears threatened to spill from my eyes due to fear.“You better hope she answers, we are on a tight schedule,” Kirby warned me in a hard tone. I was praying for that too. “Call her again, maybe her phone is on Do Not Disturb,” I tried to find an explanation.“Hmm,” She mumbled in response before deciding to make the call again. This time, Fallon answers on the third ring.I let out a breath that I did not know I was holding. Kirby brought the phone close to me and put it on speakerphone. “This better be important, because I’m very busy right now,” Fallon said, it sounded like she was on a busy street because I could hear the sound of cars and people being people in the background. “It is,” I replied. “Fallon, I need your help; Chris and I have been kidnapped. The like went quiet for a few seconds and then she broke the silence. “Linda?” “Yes, Fallon, please…hur

Linda’s POVBeing bound was not a nice experience, the ropes were so tight that every time I would try to move, they would pinch my skin.But I had made my decision, I wanted to come out of here alive. I wanted my baby to come out of here alive, so I was going to do everything I was told to do no matter how messed up it would be.Kirby and the guy who I thought was a doctor soon walked out of the room, leaving me with the guy who was not too far from me.I knew it was a man because of his build but I could not tell who he was. He was wearing old and ragged clothes and seemed to be unconscious because his head was bent over in a weak way.“Are you okay?” I asked, attempting to see if he was awake even though I felt he was not. There was no reply. So I sighed and then glanced around the room, looking to see if I could find a way of escape, but it seemed like the only way to get out here was through the door.There were two windows in the room but both of them had iron bars that did not
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Captured
Linda’s POVThe car soon came to a stop, it had been a long ride. “Take her inside,” Kirby commanded and the Doctor did as he was asked. He opened the door and got down before gesturing that I do the same. I did not want to be hurt and did not want my baby to be hurt either so I did as he told me. I got down from the car and glanced around. It was now dark but the lights from on the property were impressively bright. Acres of land stretched from both sides that I looked at, and a huge stood not too far from me. It looked like a castle. It was stunning but it had a dark energy that caused my heart to skip a beat. I already knew who was behind this. I mean, I had my suspicions at first but they had now been confirmed. The thought of Chris entered my mind and I felt a heaviness that I could not ignore. Why did they have me tell him that I was on a street that we were miles away from? Had it been a way to get him alone so they could harm him? Oh my gosh, I did not know what I would do
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Meet Me In The Alley
Chris’s POVKidnapped? The word rang in my ear over and over, and I could barely hear a thing after she had said that. The car behind mine honked loudly and I was pulled out of my trance. “Clink Street? You said you’re being held at Clink Street?” I needed to make sure that I had heard her right. “Yes…” Her voice broke before a shudder followed shortly after. Then the call dropped. I tried to call but there was no answer. So I tried again; again and again. And with the cars honking behind me as I was parked at the traffic light, blocking their way, I knew that I had to put it all aside for only a few seconds. My mind raced as I tried to make sense of what had just happened. Lind, my wife, was kidnapped. The thought was incomprehensible, surreal. But I could not afford to dwell on it. I had to act, I had to act fast. With a deep breath, I refocused on the present. The light that was was still green, so I finally drove and ignored the road rage that I was getting as I pulled to the
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Uh-Oh
Linda’s POVMy heart skipped a beat, a cold fear gripping me as I realized something was terribly wrong. Panic surged within me, but I tried to keep my voice steady. “What do you mean, you lied?” I demanded, my voice trembling despite my efforts to remain calm. Dr. Adam’s smile faded, replaced by a chilling expression that sent shivers down my spine. “You, Linda,” He said softly, his ice blue eyes locking onto mine with unsettling intensity, “You’re not going to another room as you already can tell, you’re going to a little place called ‘Pay Back’.” I immediately jumped out of the wheelchair and tried to run for my life but I fell to the hard ground. We were in the parking place, basement level. “Help!” I screamed at the top of my lungs but it was like there was not even a soul there. As I hit the ground, pain shot through my body, but fear propelled me to my feet again. Adrenaline surged through my veins as I fought to escape, but Dr. Adam was quick to react. He grabbed my arm lik
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity I Lied, Linda
Linda’s POVI could barely speak, the pain overwhelming me as I doubled over on the bathroom floor. Every fiber of my being screamed with agony, and I feared for the safety of my unborn child. I already knew what it was, what was causing the pain. This was not my first rodeo, it was not the first time that it had happened. Aunt Maze and William rushed into the room, their expressions filled with alarm as they saw me writhing in pain. “What’s going on?” Aunt Maze exclaimed, her voice tinged with worry. I struggled to find the words amidst the agony that consumed me. “It’s the bullet…it’s moving and must be hitting one of my organs,” I managed to gasp out, tears stinging my eyes as another wave of pain washed over me. Fallon’s eyes widened with realization. “We need to get her to the hospital, now,” She said urgently, her voice plastered with panic. With her support, I managed to rise to my feet, the pain still stabbing at my abdomen with each step. Aunt Maze and William sprang int
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Trouble Will Find You
Linda’s POVMy heart skipped a beat at the revelation, the gravity of the situation sinking in. The Kingstons had vanished without a trace, the police had no way of knowing where they were. I wanted to ask how that was even possible. But I already knew the answer to that. Power, money, and influence. They had found a way to disappear because of who they were. “What do you mean disappeared?” Chris demanded, his voice smeared with urgency. “How could a prison transport vehicle just f*cking disappear?” Sergeant Thompson’s tone remained solemn. “We are still trying to ascertain the details, but it appears to have been a deliberate act. We suspect foul play.” “Of course, there was,” I heard Fallon say under her breath before letting out a string of curses. The car we were in was more of a van and we could all fit in easily. My mind raced with so many possibilities, each one more terrifying than the last. Had all of this been orchestrated from the start? Was he planning revenge right n
