hayle.

It's been days already, yet nothing sensible has happened, apart from the fact that he was indeed alive, nothing else new to me. My search for him was futile. The first woman I had hired turned out to be half of the money that had been sent to her before I realised.

As soon as I demanded results or at least proof of work, she blocked me. I had not reached out to her; I did more research and hired a new person who had found out that alex was indeed alive, but his location wasn't accessible at the moment.

A lot of this money had been drained; I had just a little left, and at this point I wouldn't even be able to find alex if I was spending the last dime I had on the private investigator.

A call settled in, and I raised my eyes slowly to see it was ethan . Ever since he got me a phone, he kept calling me around, even the most basic. I couldn't just shove him off, could I? He has been helpful to me in a lot of ways.

Only little could be done. I swallowed hard, picking up his call

    MORGANs POV.I pushed my way into his office, cursing beneath my breath. I wasn't impressed with the new attitude.“What do you want?” Ethan asked, not lifting his gaze away from the files before him.“You're not replying to texts or picking up your calls; I came to ask you why,” I asked, swallowing hard before placing myself on the seat before him.“I've been busy; you can see I'm at work, can you?” He asked, still not having a single strand of respect for me.“Busy with my sister? ? For real?” I asked out of the blue.“And why is that a problem?”“Why is that? Do you even care about me?” I snapped; a giggle essed its way through his lips, pissing me off the most.“We talked about this, Becca; I don't love you; we agreed for it to be sex only, and I'm getting married to her spoon, which means I no longer need you,” he explained, hurting my feelings in the process, but all I could keep up was a stoic expression.“Alex , did you kill him?” I asked, and he slammed the file in his hand

    ethan“Took you long enough; you had me waiting up here!” She complained as soon as I made my way into the hotel room. I had been carrying a hard on in my pants ever since Selena had returned to the hotel. She looked beautiful, and I couldn't take my mind off her. I texted Viole , who was desperate enough to fill her sister's position and would do just about anything.“Strip viole , I want to see you!.” I ordered, my voice hoarse as she nodded. She slid off the arms of her top and pulled it down as her perky books came to view. I swallowed hard, reeling each moment into my mind, and enjoyed her sight; she was indeed beautiful by all fucking means.“Come closer.” I called forth; she hesitated a bit; she seemed ignorant of the whole thing. Her legs were shaky with each step she took; a smile formed on my face as I recalled the first time we were intimate.She needed to know that whenever she was around me, all I needed was for her to be free, and by the time I was done with her, she wou

    Alex's povI pressed against the doorbell continuously. Minutes passed, and then slowly it made its way to hours before the gates were opened. My gaze matched that of Jerome and the gateman in guard.“And here I was beginning to get worried that you yourself were in an accident.” Jerom retorted, there was something about the mischievous glint in his eyes that made me want to make my way into my room. I wasn't pleased with how it had been two fucking hours, but I wasn't ready to kay, soon enough.“Please talk to me; let's make this clear. Were you aware I had been by the gate all along?” I asked, waiting for a response.“What if Wd did? I was on duty all day! day and I think I had someone in a wheelchair through the dashcam. I believed it was a beggar, but it turned out to be a bayou, not that you are different from a beggar anyways,” the security man teased.I watched as he erupted into laughter, and both seemed to be having a worthwhile time.

    ALEX POV.The silence was deafening, and the tension between us all could slash through the air.I didn't know a bit; I had recalled the uninterested look he passed at me when he had seen me all dressed up.“I should excuse you all,” Jeron finally broke off the silence as he proceeded to walk away.“Of course not ; you are as good as family, so stay here and let's talk about it all, shall we? Besides You are a very important witness at the venue, so tell me, had happened earlier today? Father asked.It doesn't sit right with me; why was he asking Jeron for my side of the story when I was seated right here?“Do we really have to do all this? I have a spa appointment to get to "Esther was quick in; father however shot her a gaze that silenced her for a bit.“Now tell me what exactly happened,“ he asked again, keen on his words.“I'm sorry, sir, I wasn't really there, but I do recall seeing that the guard had delayed Martins here for some unknown reasons; he claimed to not have seen him

    hayle.“You're what now?!.” I asked, taken far by surprise as my lips parted open and my jaws hung ajar.“Stop talking like I asked you to be a stand-in wife. It's anything if sports; all I'm saying is something quite simple, nothing too much. I'm having a family dinner, and you have to be present as my fiance. Is there anything wrong with that? You owe me, don't you, and I sure as hell have other options. We can bail on the dinner,” he asked, staring intensely at me.I realized he was right. I had caused a scene by yelling and made a total fool of myself. What was I even thinking, talking about things like that and the like? I was a fool, and I knew it already. I was so desperate to visit Mary.“I'm sorry, it just sounded somehow.

    Alex“You can walk?” Father asked. I could see the surprise in his eyes as he spoke; he had not expected it, I made sure not a single track was left. I had him exactly where I wanted. I nodded slowly. “Yes, as a matter of fact, I've been able to walk for a while now. I Had the doctor kept it discreet, he would of course have told you about my progress if you'd asked, but I guess you were too busy with other things to worry about your crippled son.” I explained sure enough that the words were shot towards him like daggers.He seemed ashamed after hearing my words; he averted his gaze from me, but I didn't flinch by a bit; I wasn't worried about what his outcome might be. So long as I had all that I wanted, and things were fine so far. “Goodness, this is coming as a surprise to me, Alex , and I've been really busy. I expected him to reach out to me if anything came up. I have failed in that aspect, but tell me, why put yourself through the stress of Wheeling back and forth when you

    Giovanni.A loud squeal of laughter eased through my lips on hearing her words. I rested into a chair before kicking up my feet, laughing hard at whatever joke she seemed to be trying so hard to make.“Common now, Hayle , be for real, why are you here?” I asked again. After taking a long amount of time to laugh in her face, she held a right and diem trip to the hem of her dress before swallowing hard.“I don't get it; what exactly do you think I'm here for? Jokes?” Ahr asked, getting quite uneasy, and just then did I realize she seemed to be serious about whatever silky requests it was that she intended to make.“Oh, this isn't a joke? Are you serious? I'm expected to throw twenty-five thousand us down the decking drain for your mom? What makes you think I'll do such a stupid thing?” I asked, but she said nothing. Maybe she had a lot on her mind at the moment; it was just being curious in her speech. I wasn't entirely sure what the problem was about, but to see how she was bradley thi

    Hayle stared out into the night; maybe for a couple of hours, she had her mind lifted off certain burdens, all thanks to Juliet who had accompanied her.She glanced down at her side with a smile on her lipsJuliet was fast asleep; unlike her, she couldn't get herself a good night's rest.If anything, it bore her more than enough. She was restless and maybe angry, but for all she knew, there were other things she needed to bring together.Weak and tired, she needed a little bit of peace and quiet. It felt like much was done or could be done; all she needed was her mind set free.She slipped out of the room, slowly heading towards the balcony, but then remembered that she had previously passed out there and slept in the cold till the next day. Goosebumps. swarmed into her, she freed herself up to the conclusion that was not by any means the route for her.She stood in her tracks, her head tilted a bit while she pondered hard about what to do.

    None of Alex's words made any sense to Hayle; how could her womb vanish into thin air? Why was he looking so serious? Was that meant to be a prank for her? Womb don't just get off one's body."Is this the part where I laugh?” Hayle asked curiously, flashing her bright set of teeth towards Alex, who was taken aback by her attitude. Sure as hell, she had her way, but he had his as well, and he was way more determined than anything else to handle the situation as best as he could, but she was not going to help anyone at all.“I'm sorry,” she whispered under low tones and tried standing on her feet. The first thing she felt was a throbbing headache and an insane urge to retch.“This isn't funny anymore, Alex. What's going on?” She asked again, seemingly confused as her vision was a little blurry.“Here, I'll help.'' Alex added in as he made his way towards her swiftly, running his fingers across her eyes and slowly pushing up in place before helping her back in bed."Hayle, this is a jo

    HayleHayle parted her slowly and glanced through her environment. Things seemed different for a moment, and the first thing that stuck with her was the vague emptiness that she felt, followed by quite a migraine that took place in her mind. What exactly was wrong? Why had she felt like something important was missing from her?.She glanced around, and the surroundings seemed familiar; it wasn't her room. But it looked oddly close. The first memory that shook her mind was collapsing by the balcony, cold and lonely, scared for her life, worried that no one would find her as people hardly entered or passed through there.She heard the creaking of a door, and the first thing she had done was close her eyes shut, firmly and tight, yet she found it really strange; she could not have picked up the footsteps approaching until she shut her eyes closed.“What's wrong with me?” She questioned herself yet said nothing. “I can tell you are awake; why bother pretending?” Alex asked as he leaned c

    Hayle.The cold wind blew harshly against my skin. I circled up my toes and tilted my head a bit.It was odd; why did it look so familiar? Emerging from the room, the scent that filled my nostrils, I stretched my legs slowly and raised my head with a louder yawn.My eyes moved over to the balcony, and it made me really bothered. Why was I in a situation like this? It made me sick to my stomach as I realized I was no longer taken.“awake?” his voice covered around me, I tilted my head, In the direction the words came, as I shook slowly yet carefully, panic shocking at my sides,“Why am I here?” I asked, the words easing off my throat bitterly. I felt an uneasiness within me, and I pushed myself slowly towards the end of the bed.“Stop; you need to remain in bed; you aren't fully healed yet.” He complained even when I barely felt anything different within me.“some joke?” I asked, my gaze on his while he rolled his eyes in response.“What exactly is your deal?

I dragged my feet reluctantly towards the don't and pushed it open, but to my surprise, it was Ethan.“Good morning, still asleep?” he asked. I shook my head, a faint smile against my lips. I could not really tell him much. It was probably not the best thing expected of me, especially given the fact that I had spent all my night thinking about Alex.“No, you didn't wake me; I had been a little tired from the journey; sleep didn't come easily.” I responded to his questions, although he seemed a little tense and worried.“May I come in then?” he asked, and I nodded, pushing the door wider apart for him to walk in.“I'm sorry, my manners are a little terrible. What's wrong? You don't look so good.” I asked on the spot, fighting hard to have my senses all intact.“Do you like it here, Hayle? Do you like be

It was seventeen minutes past three in the morning. It's been more than two hours since I retired to bed, fussing about and turning to no avail.“stop acting like it isn't your fault, why do you always have to make decisions that I'll take the pain for?” my asked, ranging unnecessarily, I sighed before blocking him off the mind link when he had put up with a fight…he was right, I've been imposing my decision on him lately.Apparently, there seemed like nothing else I could do better.

    Hayle's I slowly opened my eyes, the room looked fuzzy and unclear. I blinked a few times to clear my vision, and then I saw someone moving around, but their features were all blurry. It reminded me of Alex, but I couldn't be sure.I felt a mix of emotions - confusion, and a bit of fear. Was it really him? I tried to sit up to get a better look, but it was hard. Every movement felt heavy and slow.I strained my eyes, hoping to see more clearly, eager to know if it was really him or just my imagination playing tricks on me when suddenly he drew closer and spoke up.“I really need to know why you chose to have yourself killed today,” Alex spoke, his words coming off more like an exclamation than a statement. He had intervened and disrupted Adams' plan to take me out while fighting me in the training field. I was so dumb to recognize that that had been his plan all along.How stupid of me. I cussed inwardly. I thought about what happened, and a heavy feeling settled in my chest. I r
