Three weeks later.I've been indoors since I arrived at Nina's and no one had come for me. It felt unusual to acknowledge that I was free from Leo now and he wasn't coming to get me, or the least, sending someone after me.All I've done is lay around in bed and wait for someone to barge in again, sent by Leo but that hasn't happened. I was starting to feel miserable at the fact that Nina has been letting me stay and all I've been doing is eating and sleeping. Maybe I should go out and get a job somewhere or something, now I was convinced Leo set me free.Later.Nina came home excited. I had to find out why so I asked. I asked why she was that excited and she told me about her office party. She told me how they were featuring big personalities from City A and beyond.She told me she was allowed to bring a plus one but didn't have any other person to bring. It would be her ex-husband but they were no longer together. And it would be me but I haven't gone out in a long time...unless I de
He just kissed me. My eyes rounded in surprise at how gentle his kiss was. And then the realization hit me. He was looking into my eyes to prepare me for a kiss and I, fuck, I stupidly stared back like it was a fucking staring contest.His kiss was light and harmless. For someone who let hickeys all over me when he ate me out, I couldn't believe he could kiss so softly.I wanted him to do it again. Maybe I could be sure that he did it and it all wasn't just in my head.As if he heard me, he brought his lips to mine again and kissed me ever so softly. I closed my eyes this time to let it sink in. I thought it would be just a simple kiss but Leo grabbed my waist to pull me closer to himself and set my body on fire in the process.I found myself running my fingers through his hair, messing it up while he kissed me more deeply. I wanted more. I wanted more than just his kiss. I don't know what was driving my body to crave his touch. Maybe the fact that I haven't fucked anyone in three yea
I sat in the car with Leo, still in my nightgown. He keeps doing shit like this and wonder why I hate him much. I probably shouldn't have fucked him last night; probably gave him the impression that I've forgiven everything that he's done to and with me.When the therapist handling me at my dad's orphanage told the women in charge there that I was crazy beyond her help, they should have believed her. Leo took us to what looked like a factory. He came down from his car and was about to get the door for me but I didn't let him."Thank you, gentleman," I sarcastically told him and got a chuckle from him.He started towards the entrance of the building so I followed. We got to one of the main entrances there and it had a fingerprint sensor.Leo put all five of his right fingers over the sensor and it turned green, allowing us access."What is this place?" I asked him when we walked in and there was barely any light to see with."Where your friend's daughter became my friend." His reply h
Night.Mae and I had spent the day with the kids. I toured her around the place. She had asked about Rhea and I explained how she had to take back one of the kids to their parents since it was now safe to do so.I just tucked one of the kids to sleep and saw her standing and staring at a fishbowl, in thought."Do you want to slam my head into the bowl?" I asked her, trying to get what she was thinking about."Your head wouldn't fit in it," she turned to me and sighed."I'm going home, back to Nina. She must be worried. I don't even have a phone for her to reach me and know where the fuck I am."She started to walk away so I followed."Is that what you were thinking about?" I knew it couldn't be, yet I asked. She had to have been thinking of something deeper."You know it's crazy how much you and Lade know about me and I didn't even know what my father was till you told me." She finally voiced her thoughts."It's not your fault." She had to know it wasn't."Do you know who you are?" She
I got out of the car and headed to where Rhea was. I know Leo asked me to remain in the car but I don't know how he was thinking that was possible when he drove me here."Rhea?" I called to make sure it was her before getting too close.She turned to me and with a reflex action, pulled out her gun. I raised my hands in the air."The fuck are you doing here?" She asked when she put down her gun."Leo brought me.""Mr Vance brought you? Really? For what?" She couldn't believe me."I was driving with him when he suddenly turned around and drove us here. I figured either you or Pete called him. So what happened?""Thx asshole in there, he just..." Rhea sighed and ran her fingers through her hair."He killed one of them.""One of them? Them?""Mae, just go back to the car." She advised."Come on, tell me what happened?""The asshole was supposed to sell the kids to us but he said he won't do it if sir Vance wasn't here. We've been trying to talk him out of it but the mother-fucker just pull
I had gone back to assure the other kids that they would be okay. I felt the need to, especially after one of them watched her sister get shot. Thankfully, Rhea was there to stop them from witnessing me shoot the man who did it.I went on one knee to be able to talk to the sister of the dead girl. She wasn't saying anything so I took out my handkerchief and wiped the blood of her sister off her face.I got up from my kneeling position and turned around to meet Mae standing halfway to the car and watching me. I wanted to smile at her but my cheeks felt too heavy to be lifted into a smile at the moment.I helped Rhea and the kids into a car before planning to join Mae in the car. I turned around to start in the car's direction and saw a red dot traced at her. It was at the back of her head and then it retraced to her heart.My heart skipped a beat."Mae!" I called out to her and began running to her but she turned around. The moment she did, she got shot.I stopped running. I was just a
Who the hell looks this beautiful in a sick bed? I sat by Mae's hospital bed and watched her sleep on. The doctor she lost a lot of blood but she should wake soon; that was what I was waiting for.My phone vibrated in my hands. I looked and saw that it was Pete calling so I left to answer it. I was expecting that call of his. He had told me that he found some gadgets and equipment being used by those FIA agents so he took them with him and was going to check through them.****Three weeks later.I was driving to the hospital to check on Mae. She had woken up but hadn't fully recovered. The doctor in charge of her treatment said she would need some more time to be on her feet and active again."Omar," I called over the phone after picking up my ringing phone."You must have learned the full story behind the FIA agents being at that building that day." He sounded dull.I hissed and wanted to end the call. I was in no mood to speak about that, at least not now that I was on my way to se
I laughed when I saw the gun in his hand but he didn't laugh along. I groaned and went to lean in the same position he was leaning against when I joined him here."I thought of the possibility of you doing this, but then I shoved it to the back of my mind. I told myself Omar wouldn't do that shit. But here you are, doing that shit.""If you won't help me. I'll help myself. I know you won't kill me. If you wanted to, you'd have all these while. So that leaves me no choice. I have to kill you to save myself.""You're in flames for killing the little girl, and you want to kill me too? You still enjoy playing with fire, don't you Omar?""..." He didn't say anything after me. He just held the gun tighter and licked his trembling lips."Alright, enough of this shit. Sixty seconds, you've got sixty seconds to kill me or I'm leaving. I want to be at the hospital when Mae wakes up." I told him and took off my suit jacket."If I don't pull the trigger in sixty seconds, will you kill me?" He swa

Four days now and there was nothing about Lade on the news yet. Beats me that no one knew he was dead yet. Did they even know he was missing? Leo hasn't been around a lot since that day. The most I've seen of him is his walking out the tall doors at the entrance of the mansion.I've been wanting to talk to him about when I could finally leave. Now that Lade was dead, I didn't have to be here anymore.I went up to Leo's favorite place in the mansion, the balcony with the view. It was night and the city looked beautiful as hell from where I stood.Soon, I would be out of here and back to my old life...a life I'm not sure I have anymore. Nina might never trust me again and the FIA may not be so willing to take me back."Perfect, I have more than one beauty to behold by coming up here." Leo crept up behind me, giving me a little jump scare but I made sure not to show it."You're here, finally," I smiled, happy to see him without Pete or some other assistant around him telling him when th
