Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Talking It Out
Linda’s POVAs I kissed him, my heart did a weird thing. It was a bittersweet feeling that I could not brush away no matter how hard I tried. Yes, I liked that I was with him again I liked that I was kissing him, but the thought that he had cheated on me still lingered, torturing me. When we broke the kiss, he locked eyes with me. “I’m so glad that you’re home again. I am so sorry for what I did, Linda.” He did look sorry. “I promise you I’m going to do better,” He added. I nodded slowly, taking in his words. “Of course.” My voice was small. “We have a lot to talk about,” I said as I made my way past him. I headed upstairs and did not have to look behind because I knew that he was following. When we reached the bedroom, he walked in and closed the door when I was already in. I glanced around the room, and I could not help but smile. I missed this room, this house, and everything else. “What do you want to talk about?” Chris began, putting his hands in his pockets, nervousness plas
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Our Great Plan
Linda’s POVAfter sobbing in the arms of Chris, we spent the next few hours talking about everything. And when I say everything, I mean everything. I told him all about William, and about his plan of us working together. I told him about the Retinol shipment and why I needed the five million dollars. I told him it all. And he did the same, at least I believe that he did. Things felt better and although I was not fully healed, at least I was now further on the journey. “So you still want me to go to London?” Chris asked me as we headed downstairs. It was the next morning and we were going for a walk. I would have wanted a jog or run instead, but considering my state, I could not afford to do any of that. First of all, I was pregnant and getting farther along as each day passed. Second of all, I still literally had a bullet in my body, just hanging in there. “Yes, I know that you want to help William and me with the plan to take down your father…I mean, Mr. Kingston,” I corrected m
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity A Surprising Meeting
Chris’s POVIn the Aston Martin, the wind blew in my hair as I drove through the beautiful streets of the city. The weather was so good today, and I think it had an effect on my mental health–I felt so much serenity and contentment. Maybe that was because I finally had my wife back. I did not know what I did to deserve her forgiveness or what god had touched her heart to come back to me, but I was more than grateful.I had so many plans for us. After we were done with this war against the Kingston, I planned to take her to somewhere different; to another country where we would start new. Of course, this country had a lot of memories for us, but raising a child, I wanted it to be a fresh start for us. I was not going to tell her until the day she gave birth to our child. I did not care whether it was going to be a boy or a girl, I just wanted to be able to hold our precious baby in my hands soon. When I reached the office, I parked the car at my spot, turned off the engine, and got
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity I Hate Her So Much
Chris’s POVThe glass door to my office opened and I looked up, seeing my new investors walking in. Meghna was dressed in a flashy dress and her boyfriend was surprisingly wearing something that was not horrible. I remained behind my desk as I watched them walk deeper into the office, sitting across from me in the chairs arranged for guests. Meghan flashed a bright smile, but there was somehting about it that felt insincere, calculated. Her boyfriend, on the other hand, maintained a more neutral expression, his demeanor giving away little about his thoughts or intentions. “Good morning, Chris,” Meghan greeted, her voice tinged with an air of confidence. “It’s lovely to see you again.” I wish I could say the same but I would be lying if I did. I nodded politely in response. “Good morning, Meghan, and to you too,” I acknowledged, inclining my head towards her boyfriend.They both returned the greeting before she wasted no time diving into why she was there. “Chris, Jacob, and I have
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Indecision
Chris’s POV“I will think about it,” I said in finality as I stood to my feet, walking from behind my desk and heading to the closed glass door, opening it up and holding it open. “But for now, I have a lot of work to do, this meeting is over.” Meghan and her boyfriend glanced at each other before they stood to their feet and walked out of my office. I can not tell you how relaxed I got when they were out, I had been tensed the whole time. I walked back to my seat and sat down. What was I going to do? Linda and I had agreed not to keep any secrets, no matter how dark it may be. And I did not want to go against our agreement, so of course, I would have to tell her. I ran my hand through my hair in frustration, the stress weighing heavily on me. I had a lot on my plate and all I wanted to do was get all the things I had to do for the day, that way, I’d maybe be able to relax. You see, the thing about me was that once I had things to do, and did not do them; if I tried to relax, that
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity The Truth Will F*ck You Up
Chris’s POVI was sitting on the bed in the room and had not changed out of my work clothes yet. My heart was pounding and my mouth was dry. Was this the right time to tell Linda about what Meghan had suggested?The room was quiet, the only sound echoing was the ticking of the clock on the wall. It was as if it was daring me, daring me to do the right thing; it was as if it was on the edge of its seat, ready to call me a coward if I chickened out. With Fallon downstairs, I think it was the safest time to do this. You see, because if I told Linda the truth and things went south, I would have someone there with me who would try to help. So, you know what? This was the perfect time…or not. There was no perfect time and I just had to take this situation by its horns. I stood up from the bed and changed into something more casual. Then I stood in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection. I ran my hand through my hair and made it a bit messy. I did not have plans of going out again
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Not A Fragile Woman
Linda’s POVI was trying my best to process Chris’s words but they just seemed surreal. Was he being serious? No, I did not think so. Maybe this was just a prank to see if I had healed; but that was the thing, I was not healed, not yet. “Linda, it’s fine, she does not have to stay here,” He said as he kept his eyes on me. I tried all that I could to avoid looking into his eyes, I knew that if I was going to do that, the tears that I was fighting so much to hold would just escape. “Nonsense,” I chuckled the word out, but it was forced even though I tried my best to make it sound as natural as possible. Fallon looked up from her book, her eyes filled with empathy. I could tell that she did not want to involve herself, and that was why she kept burying her head deeply in her book. But she was, whether she liked it or not. I wanted to hear what she had to say, I wanted to know how she felt about it all. She scoffed faintly and locked eyes with me. “Are you sure this is what you want?
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Talking To Meghan
Linda’s POVWhen I was done washing the dishes, I dried my hands and left the kitchen. I knew that I had to go to Chris so we could watch the movie I had recommended, but I could not do it with my face looking like this.I headed to the bathroom that was downstairs and locked the door. Opening the faucet, I splashed some cold water on my face.The feeling was refreshing, I really did need it. After that, I closed the faucet and grabbed a paper towel, drying my face before staring at myself in the mirror.I felt like I looked better but one could still tell that I had been crying though. Brushing it off, I stepped out of the bathroom and headed for the living room.I met Chris on the couch, there was a movie on the huge TV on the wall, but it was paused. “Hey, you okay?” He asked in a gentle and comforting voice. “I’m fine. Can we please get this over with before watching the movie?” I asked him, sitting not too far from him on the couch.“Um…sure,” He replied. “You’re talking about c

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
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Looking To A Higher Power
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
