“All set,” the nurse spoke as she pressed on my abdomen.
“Thanks,” I said as I buttoned my shirt.
My wound was healing well. I hadn’t strained myself too much. Well until now. I thought my body was healing so I had gone back to lifting weights. I thought my body could take it but I needed a reminder that I still needed the rest.
I resisted everything in me as I walked out of the hospital. I knew she was up there but there was nothing more I could do. It seemed like everything we had been doing was useless. The hospital footage was just for show. That hasn’t worked in years but they loved to keep it there for “awareness” they said. We had hit another dead end.
Morgan seemed to be cocky as usual but I could see that he too see

Harper My brother and I were walking on eggshells around each other or it could only be me. He did apologize and I told him I was over it but I was not. I also lied to him that I would stop my writing but I didn’t. He wouldn’t understand why I needed this. It was about my career and more. I wanted to know the truth. I wanted to uncover the mystery and It would be a shame if someone else got the scoop when I was this close to it. I think it would be unforgivable if I were to land an interview and they know that Kioni Turner was someone I knew. The Gaby Soto puff piece was a dead giveaway. Everyone would piece it together and my chances of being a columnist would be gone. James has been home lately and cooped up in his room. I knew he was up to something because he kept his door locked. It was making me tingly and curious. I wouldn’t be

Harper “Ja - James, James,” he said. I don’t know why he was even trying. “You should leave,” I warned. He nodded as he tried to hand me the flowers and the box of chocolates. The audacity of this boy. I raised my brow and he withdrew before casting his eyes down and moving. “Not so fast.” James stopped him, “Harper, get inside. Tell me why you thought climbing onto my window was such a great idea?” James looked mad. How dids he know? “I - I wasn’t” he shook his and looked back at me. “Don’t look at her. Look at me.” James took one strode. Yes, I was dead. “I swear,” “Who told you that sneaking in a house was romantic?” James had him by t

James To suspect one is a master criminal is one thing. Proving it is another. The system is not broken but people have changed. The police have become greedy and civilians feel entitled. It’s getting harder for honest cops to do their jobs. Everything is always flawed. It's harder to conduct a thorough investigation without second guessing everything. It took me a long time to come back to the reason I have been doing all of this. I might have done this in memory of my father but I do it for the people out there who deserve justice. I want to prove that there are still honest people in this world who will do everything to make sure that the bad guys are caught. I wasn't angry at Harper. I was more angry that I had forgotten myself in trying to make sure Nick pays. My feelings were getting in the way. I trusted my gut and I know he wa

James I checked my phone before groaning and running down the stairs. It was almost midnight and someone was ringing the bell and banging the door. I can hear one ring. There was no need for such a ruckus. “Do you know what time this is?” I said, opening the door looking annoyed. “Oh good,” he sighed. He looked a little frantic, “I’m Marko,” “Yes?” I looked at him. “Is Faith here? I have been trying to call her and we only thought to check -” “What are you talking about?” I interjected. “She is my sister and we haven’t heard from her for hours,” “What?” I blinked, “Come in,” I said, opening the doo

Harper 9 hours ago The chocolates Conrad sent were a lot of help because Faith and I had finished the whole box before we went to ice cream. I had told Faith what I saw in my brother’s room and she had, pinky promised not to breathe a word and she was going to help me discreetly do research. I had left my brother alone and I knew he was going to come around. I was going to make him his favorite meal and apologize. I’m sure it will be a long way but I was going to apologize until I knew for sure he would forgive me. I will admit I was wrong and I shouldn’t have been nosy and a troublemaker. “Did you order something?” I looked at Faith who shook her head. “Maybe it’s Conrad back with more chocolate,” she grinned as the doorbell rang again. I pushed myself up and ope

Chapter 88 Nick This is good. Better than Jay following her. She was smart because of everything she said. She could tell from day one that she was being followed. If it wasn’t for her smartness and meddlesome I wouldn't have known about the bracelet. To think James has it all these years and didn’t know what it contains. I might have an alliance with my father but I wasn’t going to tell him about my discovery. His input was helpful but I was the boss and I still kept a close eye on him. He can move around the house but if he makes a slight move I wouldn’t hesitate to have him taken care of. “Come in,” I shouted in my office. “S-sir there is a boy here to see you,” I looked up at Dani. “Does this boy have a name

James We were at the station in Romans office waiting for him. Nigel was refusing to just hand me the bracelet so I can go and hand it over and get my sister back. I know it wasn't that simple. We have dealt with so many kidnappings before and it was never that simple but I was willing to make it easy. “What’s taking him so long?” “Relax,” I looked at Nigel who fell silent. He has been telling me to relax since two in the morning and now it is almost noon. We have been trying to do this alone as I was instructed in the envelope. No cops. Yeah right. I was a cop but guess this was an exception. “Will you stop doing that? You are making me nervous.” “We shouldn’t be in here,” I said, “Y

Harper “Faith!” I called. “Fay! FAY!” “Harper,” there was a whisper, “Harper… I can hear… I can’t see you. Harp… I’m -- I’m sc-scared,” “Breathe,” I spoke. “I can’t see… get this off… please… someone take it off,” she screamed. “Fay!” I took a breath. I tried to move the chair, “Keep talking, I come to you.” I don’t know how we got to be strained and blindfolded. We must have fallen asleep or drugged. I couldn't tell if it was day or night. Everything was pitch black. I could hear Faith wheezing. She was having an asthma attack. I needed to calm her down. “I’m almost there,” I said, “Keep talking,” I encouraged as I followed her voice and

KioniTrue happiness is what I felt. We were sitting having breakfast before the guys left the table, one after the other. It was all so weird. I looked around the table and everyone seemed to be oblivious. I wanted to go check what was happening outside, but the girls stopped me and began having a conversation about what we had for our dinner last night.“I should get the recipe and make this for Wayne.”“I’m not a skilled cook, but I loved the sauce.” Dani added.“That meat was so tender.” Gaby smiled.“Mhh, it was melting in my mouth.” Faith chided.“Faith ate for two.” Harper laughed&ldq

HarperA few months later,I had made some progress and was ready for this holiday. Tomorrow is going to be a big day. I looked at my suitcases and gleefully smiled.“Harper!”“Coming,” I shouted. I ran down the stairs. “What?” I scoffed.Sam has been my bodyguard. This was not by choice. It was annoying. I preferred the other guard, though I don’t remember his name. He never talked much. Unlike Sam, who takes every chance to speak.“You have a visitor,” he said. “Make it quick. We have to leave soon. I’m not getting in trouble because of you.”“

AdamWith my injured leg and James’ injured shoulder, we almost struggled to keep Harper steady. Her strength was almost impossible to rear.“Thank you.” James said with a sigh.“Don’t mention it.”“It’s over.”“Yeah, it is,” I said, looking at the car where Nick was.“I should go with her to the hospital.”“I’m right behind you.” I nodded.James and my sister left with Harper in the same ambulance. Sebastian, Morgan and Gaby had also gone ahead. We were all being taken to Dawson Hospital

SebastianLesson learnt. Nick was just as canny as his father. He kept surprising me. He had an army. Over twenty men, I'm sure. He knew we were coming. He was prepared. I didn’t do enough to catch him. I should have followed the money theory harder. If I was aware of how vigorous he was, things would have been different. We wouldn’t be in this situation. Nick was worse than his father.“You two stay here. Help is almost here. I have to get in there.”“Don’t get killed,” Adam said.“Be careful,” Nigel said.I gave them both a nod and moved. I was a little rusty, but I prayed I could manage. I ran inside, dodging all the bullets. Before I got in, I saw him ducking his head. Nigel had my back.

NickHiring people to take Kioni to the mansion was a plan in the works for a long time. All the months of planning and watching from afar were necessary. I was going to take Kioni either way. She belonged to me. They all underestimated me. Underestimating the love I felt for her. She was mine, and I was going to make it crystal clear.Everything was set. I was prepared for a fight. One of two things was going to happen. Kioni was going to come to me or I was going to go take her. No army of guards was going to stop me because I had an army of my own. An army I spent a lot of money on and they were the best.Charles taught me one thing that stuck with me. Being resourceful and passionate enough to grasp the moment. My moment was now staring at me. They really made it easy for me. We were going to get married. She looked stunning in that

HarperThey always sideline me. As much as they were, I was involved in this as well. I would be devastated if something happened to Kioni or Gaby. I was actually devastated. That’s why when they were leaving, I followed them.I jumped into Morgan’s car with the bodyguard. He didn’t even know his boss had left with the others when I told him to drive. We were not really seeing eye to eye because the drive started off in an argument.“You know you are going to get me in trouble,” he eyed me with the corner of his eye.“I don’t care. Just drive.” I yelled.“I don’t even know where they went.” he yelled back.“They must have driven pa

KioniMy head hung low from a chair. I opened my eyes and looked around. My hands were chained to a chair. I sat straight and looked around.“Gaby!” I shouted. She was lying on the floor. “Gaby. Wake up.”“You are awake,” Nick emerged from behind me. “How do I look?”“What are you doing?” I asked him, “What did you do to her?”“Come on, Kiki,” he laughed, “This is what we always wanted.”“I don't want this.” I creased my face in disgust. “I know everything you did to me.”“I did nothing you didn’t want.” he walked a

MorganMy phone was ringing, but it was not on the nightstand. It was ringing somewhere on the floor close to the door; I think. My head was pounding like crazy. Someone shaking me made me open my eyes. I blinked a couple of times, hoping the room would stop spinning.I stumbled off the bed and looked around. There were two women in my bed and one on the floor. I did not know what was going on. The ringing was so loud. All I wanted was to go back to bed. Sleep off the dizzy.“Make it stop.” the woman on the floor stirred.I moved to find my phone. I had no idea what the hell was happening. When I got my phone, I almost threw it on the floor. I wanted to hurl. I scrunched and answered the call.

SebastianThe shouting inside was hurting my ears even as I stood outside smoking. I don’t even know how they all ended up shouting like that. They have all drifted, of course, from the actual issue.Morgan’s idea made sense. Nick would do anything to get to Kioni. All this time we had focussed on that factor. We had her protected at all times that it was difficult for him to try something. That’s why he easily spotted the weaker spot.Harper.How many weak spots could he see? I drew a big puff and stared at nothing. I wish I could drown all the noise. Prison was usually peaceful at this time of the night. Their annoying fighting was actually making me miss the serenity.“I thought you had gone home,” I to
