Marcus shook his head as he watched Michael display his innate talent for madness in the yard. Apparently, the bumper of his car had been damaged, and there were several other dents on the car."Do you know how much it is to change parts for a Porsche?!" Michael barked at the officer."You know, it isn't our fault, we have like a thousand cars coming here every day, so damages like this are often. You should be glad that you escaped with nothing less than a broken bumper," the officer explained calmly.Michael's facial muscles twisted more than they ever did before. "What do you mean? You took my car and you return it to me, damaged!?" Michael yelled at the top of his lungs.Other police officers on duty came to the scene to explain to Michael but he wasn't having it."Sir, do you think this is a hotel service where we park your car and take care of it? You should be grateful that your car was seized and returned to you, instead of yelling at a police officer. We could lay charges aga
Iryna stepped out of the car, wearing her brand-new tracks. She sat down with the door still open and tied her shoes properly.She looked around the park and saw that there were only a fair amount of people around. She dusted her orange trainers and packed her hair into a ponytail."Are you sure you don't want me to join you?" Lucien asked her from the steering wheel."Hell no!" Iryna screamed. He would drag too much attention. The thought of it seemed like a joke."Please, tell the men to conceive their weapons," Iryna begged.She had argued with Lucien that morning over jogging at the public park. Lucien had eventually opted for her to jog at a private park because it would be safer there and it would be easier to watch her without being too close to her."Sure I will be nearby," Lucien said and drove away.Iryna stepped into the park. A few old folks were jogging in the distance and she wondered if she would join them.Nah, they would be talking about old stuff.Iryna discarded the
Iryna sat on the bench and calmly took in the view. She had decided to give up jogging since she had gotten exhausted from the run. Besides, she also had a companion with her."Are you sure you weren't hurt from that collision?" Reynolds asked her. They were sitting beside each other on the park's bench."No I am fine, I am really fine. I am only exhausted from sprinting," Iryna said.She glanced upon Reynold's legs and she took her time studying his strong calf muscles since he had opted to wear a short, trainers, and socks with a grey sweatshirt. It gave her a perfect view indeed."I may not look it, but I was a bit rattled when you hit me, that is why I am asking you..." Reynold said gently.He spoke to her as if she was fragile, any more force in his voice and she would break.Iryna stood up and did a twirl then sat down. "You see? I am okay!" She smiled at Reynold.A smile broke at the corner of his lips and she became entranced in his stare. It might have continued for several s
The first thing Iryna did when she got home was to take a long cold shower that washed off all the sweat on her body. She couldn't believe the confidence she had when she invited Reynold for dinner in that restaurant.It was a cheap move but it was worth it.She hummed happily as she got out with a towel wrapped around her head. She met her maids waiting for her in the room. A smile covered her face as she sat on her vanity chair.The maids immediately moved to help but she stopped them."Oh no, don't worry, I will be doing things myself today," she said as she dried her hair with the towel first."Madam, I do not understand," one of the maids said with confusion written all over her face."Take it like a day off. I will do the needful today. Just have my room cleaned, that is all," Iryna said as she dried her hair. She stood in front of the mirror and looked at her body.The maids looked at themselves and slowly walked out of the room in procession.Iryna had gotten suddenly happy ev
"Ouch! Ouch!" Michael yelped in pain as steam entered his eyes.His face care routine was very intense, and he did that every day. He dried his face with a towel and walked to his bed, where his clothes lay.He had chosen one of his best suits for his date that night, he wanted to impress Iryna. He went to his drawers and opened one, which displayed his large array of watches. He picked the most expensive one and put it on the bed."Shit, I am running out of time," Michael muttered and put on his clothes as fast as he could.He had opted to go black for today because men in black suits exuded confidence, something he had learned from Audrey. He walked out of his house, straight to the Black Ferrari that was waiting.James sat in the car, folding his hands as he watched Michael approach him. He straightened up and sighed."Well, well, I am surprised. I asked for a Bentley," Michael said as he got closer.James scoffed. "You are not in the position to even complain. Typical Michael!" Ja
Iryna squirmed inside as she watched Michael blush.She suddenly felt disgusted when she touched him. Sure, he was the dream of numerous adolescent females, but he was rotten meat to her.That pride; his over-confidence; his self-esteem; everything was sickening!It didn't stop there. There was that demeaning look in his eyes that she had come to discover the day he had broken up with her.She could call the date off but she endured. There was a reward in the end."The food is coming, just chill." Michael smiled as an uneasy feeling coursed through him.He could tell that she was thinking and whatever it was, could never be in his favour."So, what's up? Why is this special date about?" Iryna unwrapped her ankles from beneath the table."I believe we should first have something to eat before we discuss matters," Michael said instead.He glanced at his watch —he didn't do this to check the time, it was only for Iryna to see its worth. Michael picked up a glass of water and sipped gentl
He sucked on her lower lips with as much passion as he could pull off. His hands ran along her back and he couldn't get enough of her.It must have been the money because she never tasted it this way before, he thought as his body got excited.The music in the background elevated even more, the musicians were playing with fervour now. It felt like they had practised every scene and every dialogue before they got here.The kiss changed tempo. It became feral and demanding as each fought for control. The harsh sucking of air, and frantic movement of their hands as they explored their body, took Michael to another world entirely.This was more than he had hoped for and he couldn't be more grateful.He pulled back and stared into her eyes, she had a strange fire in her eyes, one which he hadn't seen before but he figured it must have been the desire in her core.Iryna held his cheek and her lips parted to let out a whisper."Michael, I am sorry for breaking your car. I was mad and—"Micha
The musicians stopped playing at once and watched in shock what was happening."Michael..." Audrey whispered in a shaky voice.Michael knew Iryna had played him but he refused to give up. He started walking toward Audrey like she was his salvation."It is not what you think Audrey! Come, let us talk it out in a corner," Michael said.Audrey was still in shock. She could barely feel his arms around her until he tried pulling her away."Liar..." Audrey whispered. Her head was hung low, her eyes looking down at her feet as she tried to accept what she had heard and seen."You said what?" Michael inquired, not sure he heard her right.Audrey looked up at him and her eyes were spewing fire."Liar! You fucking liar!" She repeatedly hit Michael's chest with the base of her fist."What the fuck! Why are you doing this?" Michael snapped.He almost lost his cool for a second but he looked at Iryna and controlled himself. He was still confused. He just made out with her, what was Audrey doing he
The court had been swift in declaring Marcus and Michael's verdict.Michael had hired a hot-shot criminal lawyer that lied like fuck during the entire hearing. The man was so good that he had almost even convinced everyone at the hearing that his client Michael was innocent, but the evidence was just too much against him.Marcus had been sentenced to ten years in prison with light labor in a penitentiary in California.Michael was sentenced to twenty-one years in prison, with hard labor and no parole. His modeling career was over, his life was over as it stood."Mark my words, you will pay for this!" Michael had said to Iryna when he was being thrown in a van."It should get old by now, shouldn't it?" Lucien waved him away at the court.Amanda Walters was still being held by the FBI, and it looked like it would remain like that for a while.The FBI wanted to fish out all information about the Mafia network in Latin America.Tyrese's charred body was later recovered.It was discovered
The sound of helicopters got closer and panic started spreading among the gangs and Mafia lords that surrounded the empty cars."The FBI!" Someone screamed.Government-issued SUVs pulled up and FBI SWAT teams were already over the place, holding their guns at them. They were completely surrounded.Michael gritted his teeth and dropped his phone. "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" He screamed. "Why does this always happen to me!"The FBI team wasted no effort in apprehending all the Mafia and gang members.The mission was possible because of two things, one, the FBI had come in massive numbers and had surrounded their enemies. Two, because of their magnificent entree, the enemy was too overwhelmed to act that they had suddenly given up their will to fight."Drop your weapons and go down on your knees, order of the bureau!" someone said on a loudspeaker."Fuck this!" Michael dragged Amanda and kicked Marcus out of his way. He ran forward to a nearby vehicle, but he was stopped by agents.Amanda tried
"Sir, the plane has landed," the intercom buzzed.Michael was seated inside a black limousine and sipped wine from his cup."Any sign of them?" He asked after he had put his glass down."Yes, they are stepping out of the plane," the intercom buzzed again."Jesus, New Orleans is so cold at this time of the year," Amanda shivered as she entered the car. "So this is the United States," Amanda looked out of the window at the high-rise buildings in the Central Business District."The target has landed, the plan is being kicked into motion," Michael said."Good, they will be heading to the mansion, and we will cut them off in that location you mentioned," Amanda held Michael's chest and began drawing circles."What are you doing?" Michael suddenly asked.Amanda came up and kissed Michael on the lips, short and fast."What was that for?" Michael asked as blushes developed on his cheek."That is just part one, I will give you the rest when we are done with them," Amanda whispered in his ears.
Iryna's eyes felt like lead when she woke up. She was in and out of sleep for the past eight hours. She sat up and rubbed her eyes. The bandages on her hands made them feel even sore.She looked out of the window and all she saw was water, from a bird's eye view. They were on their way to The United States... home."You were out for quite a long," a deep voice spoke.Iryna turned in the direction of the voice and saw Lucien sitting on a chair on the other side. IV lines were there and he wore a blanket over his legs. He looked better now, and his wounds had been tended to."Gosh," Iryna rubbed her eyes and yawned. "How are you doing, Lucien?" Iryna asked. She stretched and heard a few bones bop in her shoulders."Never been better," Lucien laughed. "The doctor said it was a miracle I was alive. My liver has been grazed, plus a lot of other internal blood vessels," he said with a smile. "Seems like I will be out for months," Lucien chuckled."Just rest up," Iryna told him. She looked o
Michael was getting irritated where he was. All of a sudden, the cops were showing up in large numbers, and Amanda was nowhere to be found."Alright boys, let's round this up!" Michael spoke out.The men all stopped and looked at him."I know, I am not your boss, but I can't seem to find Amanda anywhere and the police are coming, so we will have to ditch this place and run," Michael explained.He expected Amanda to do just fine, besides she was crazy enough to save him from the FBI that day. She would save herself."Where is Amanda?" One of the men asked. "We can't leave without her," he looked around. There was a murmuring passing among the group."For Christ's sake! It is almost morning, we have to go," Michael pointed at the sky.The sun was just On the horizon, it was just seconds away from sunrise. There was no time to wait around anymore."Michael!" Amanda suddenly appeared from behind a vehicle and she limped heavily.Her Kawasaki bike was oddly naked and there were a few crazy
Amanda stood up and stepped forward. Her left leg side roared with pain from her contact with the ground after that stunt with the van. There was a bruise on her forehead, but nothing she couldn't handle.Amanda picked up a bat that lay on the floor and smiled. She walked in the direction of the van.Iryna was the first to open her eyes. She let out a cough. Her legs hurt, but she could still feel and move them.She looked around and saw that the door at the back was missing. She felt fear develop in her and turned towards Lucien. He was still breathing, but he was knocked unconscious after the van turned over. Reynold was also unconscious, but his breathing was becoming raspy.Iryna looked at the front, and she saw Selena dangling from her seat belt upside down, the wound on her head looked very bad, and she could already tell that the driver was in an even worse state.Iryna tapped Selena's face. "Selena, Selena, wake up," there was a response, the twitching of facial muscles and so
"Shit, hold him tight!" Selena cussed as they lifted Reynold across the burning parking lot.Iryna held his legs, while Selena held his hands. He turned out to be too heavy for one person to carry."Huh," Reynold groaned. They had managed to stop the bleeding, it was a miracle he was still alive after all that blood loss."Hang in there, we will soon get you a doctor," Iryna said despite the pain in her leg, as they carried him to a waiting vehicle. A nab was waiting outside and when he saw them, he brought out a stretcher and ran to them."He needs medical treatment," Iryna said to the man."Christ! Señorita Selena! What took you so long?" The man asked. He had a very thick accent."Long story, just focus on getting us out of here," Selena said to the man.Iryna opened the door to the bus and saw Lucien sleeping on a bed. There were vials and IV lines that were still attached to him."Hey madam," Lucien's voice cracked."Lucien!" Iryna hugged him. "God, you are alright.""Last time y
Selena would never forget Iryna's scream. It rang through the night and was momentarily louder than the sound of bullets moving around them.Iryna herself could not even hear her own screams. They were silent in her skull. She couldn't even hear the sounds of gunshots. She didn't care about the bullets that ricochetted against the cars.As she watched as Reynold slowly fell to the floor, she wanted to die too."Shit!" Selena cussed as she grabbed Iryna and ran to take cover.Kynes fired several shots at them, but they had safely gone behind vehicles."What are you doing?" Iryna was hysterical. "What about Reynold? We can't leave him there!" She kicked against Selena and thrashed about.She refused to accept that Reynold was dead. He was lying on his back, a pool of blood was already forming there."What are you doing? There is nothing we could have done! There is nothing I can do to bring him back!" Selena screamed.She looked over the trunk of the car and several shots rang. She duck
Reynold rested on the bench and ran his hand gently on Iryna's shoulder. It was the first time he was finding comfort in detention. Even in their situation, Iryna still looked very appealing.Reynold tried not to wake her up as he caressed her gently. Very soon, Selena would come up with a crazy escape plan.He was worried about Iryna, he didn't want any bullets touching her, and how they would move Lucien who had just come out of surgery —everything was hard.Reynold bent down and kissed Iryna's head. She smelled of mint, she must have used the twenty-four hour mist. It had been two days since they had gotten a proper shower. But Iryna still smelled nice.He heard footsteps at the door and Reynold clenched his jaw muscles. He sure hoped as hell that it wasn't Kynes. He always spoiled the mood.There were two heavy thuds. Reynold cocked his brows and watched the door.The door flew open and Selena walked in. She looked around the room and pressed the switch. Reynold flinched from the
