Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Even More Secrets?
Linda’s POVI waited with bated breath for the woman to say something. She seemed to be doing a lot of thinking in those few seconds.“Um…I think I would have to call him. Is that okay?”I frowned, making sure to sell my act. “How is that okay? So you’re trying to tell me that as his wife who owns half of what he owns, I have no right to walk into his office to get something?” I raised an eyebrow.Her face was getting a bit flustered. She flashed me a nervous smile, glancing at her computer before looking back at me. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Kingston. You have every right to your husband’s office.”That's what I wanted to hear. I smiled, nodding finely before saying, “I’m grateful for your understanding.”“But do know that I would have to inform him when he gets back from London,” She said carefully. I pursed my lips, flipping my hair a bit before gazing at her with a cold stare. “That is something that I would not appreciate.”She breathed out a labored sigh. “It’s…it’s procedure. I could l
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Blinding Lights
Linda’s POVThe sudden darkness enveloped the room, plunging me into a state of panic. My heart raced as I fumbled in the darkness, my hands searching for any semblance of light or guidance. “What’s happening?” I muttered to myself, my voice low and a whisper in the oppressive silence of the room. The only sound was the faint hum of the emergency lights flickering to life, casting eerie shadows across the walls. I cursed under my breath, my mind racing with a thousand possibilities. Had someone discovered what I was doing? Was this some sort of security measure triggered by the codes I had entered?Or was the problem with the codes I had entered? Were they the source of the blackout? I placed the file back in my bag and glanced at the floor-to-ceiling windows, checking out the other buildings around us. They had power so that meant that it was only this building that was experiencing the blackout. “Mrs. Kingston, are you okay?” A familiar voice startled me and when I looked at the
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity The Accident
Linda’s POVThe impact sent my car spinning, the screech of tires and the crunch of metal filling the air as chaos erupted around me. Time seemed to slow as I struggled to regain control, my heart pounding in my chest as adrenaline surged through my veins. When my car finally came to a stop, I sat there for a moment, dazed and disoriented, trying to process what had just happened. Pain radiated through my body, but it was nothing compared to the shock and fear that gripped me at that moment.As I slowly regained my bearings, I realized that I was lucky to be alive. My car was badly damaged, but somehow, I had escaped with only minor injuries. Shaken but determined, I reached for my phone to call for help, my hands trembling as I dialed the emergency number. It was a miracle that I had even found the device. The screen was damaged but it was still working. Just before I could hit the call icon, someone reached into the car and yanked the phone out of my fragile hands, throwing it on
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Fun At The Hospital
Linda’s POVThe paramedics arrived swiftly, their faces a blur of concern and urgency as they rushed to my side. With gentle hands, they assessed my injuries, their voice a comforting reassurance amidst the chaos.“Stay with us, ma’am,” One of them said, their tone firm but kind. “We’re here to help you. Can you tell us where it hurts?” Through the haze of pain, I managed to nod weakly, my breaths coming in ragged gasps as I struggled to remain conscious. With their help, I was carefully lifted onto a stretcher, my body protesting with each movement. As they worked to stabilize me, I felt a surge of gratitude wash over me. Despite the terror that had gripped me only moments before, I was now in the hands of skilled professionals, their expertise offering a glimmer of hope in the darkness. With each passing moment, the pain began to ebb, replaced by a sense of numbness that dulled the edges of my awareness. Through half-lidded eyes, I watched as the paramedics loaded me into the wai
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity A Grand Ball
Chris’s POVI was at a Grand Ball. The crowd was full of important and rich people; high-class individuals. The soft melody of classical music filled the air as I mingled with the elite guests, exchanging pleasantries and engaging in polite conversation. The atmosphere was charged with an air of sophistication and opulence. I did not want to be here, I really didn’t. But ever since I had stood up for myself and defied my father’s orders for the first time, he made sure that I was going to stay for a few more days before leaving to go back to China. I had been doing daily checkups on the company and on the mansion. And of course, I happened to find out that Fallon had gone to the mansion to see Linda. I did not know what they had talked about but I did not care as much as I did before coming to London and finding out that I was not a true Kingston. It gave me a new perspective on everything. I was so glad that I had not built my life solely on Kingston's money and power, I had bui
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity A DNA Test
Chris’s POVTaking a moment to compose myself, I stepped into the lavishly decorated bathroom, the opulence of the surroundings providing a clear contrast to the thoughts swirling in my mind. There was a guy who was washing his hands but he soon walked out of the room. Besides him, no one was in here with me. I locked the door once he was out, and I knew that no one would really care or might not even notice because there were a lot of other bathrooms in the building. With trembling fingers, I retrieved my phone from my pocket, a sense of urgency pushing me to reach out to my wife. Dialing her number, I waited anxiously as the phone rang, each passing second feeling like an eternity. My heart raced in my chest, anticipation and apprehension warring within me as I prayed for her to pick up. But sadly, that did not happen. I tried calling a few more times but it was the same result. I sighed shakily and ran my hand through my hair. The bathroom was really clean and smelled good so
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 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
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Fate Hates Me
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
