TIED TO YOU (ASSASSIN'S LOVE STORY) TEN
"I want the rest of my payment sent as soon as possible.""Don't worry. You know for sure that I never let you down, Carlos.”Ezra lit the gold codfish lighter and lit the cigarette that was sandwiched between his lips. One hand holding the phone to his ear, listening to a series of nonsense said by his client on the other side."I know. But other than that I need you to give me an update on Hunter and Louise.”“What attracted you to them? Will they be your next client? Or your new target?”"None of your business. Just tell me what they're doing. Weren't you involved in some projects with him?”The strong wind had just blown Ezra's hair and the tail of the leather jacket he was wearing. He was standing on top of one of the skyscrapers in Chicago with an amazing night view landscape. Unfortunately he did not come to that place to enjoy the beauty of the Chicago city at night. He came there to complete an order from his Client.“So far they have been a fairly fair business partner. It's

Mila snorted inwardly and tightened her jaw tightly when Ezra— for the umpteenth time, repeated his words firmly and full of threats in front of her wide campus grounds.“There's no way to escape. You understand? When you try to escape, the video will spread throughout the campus. All the careers you have dreamed of will be gone in an instant.”"I know. You don't have to repeat it in front of me until I'm fed up.”“That is indeed my goal. Make my message sink perfectly into your brain and you will always remember.""I remember. In fact it's so clear in my brain and it keeps echoing in there like a broken record.”Ezra didn't respond to that and instead discussed other things."Don't even think about asking your lover for help.""He's not my lover anymore." Mila said bitterly. " I will end our relationship today.""Good. It is better for you not to have anything to do with anyone until this revenge plan is over.”"That's your business and not mine. You dragged me into your damn revenge

Mila slowly walked out of her room. Inside her fist was an SOS message asking her parents to come help her. She was trying not to attract anyone's attention as she walked out of her room and heard Ezra's voice in the hall, talking to someone. Mila peeked from behind the stair railing and found Ezra talking to someone. Meanwhile the rest of his men were busy playing on their cell phones or standing like statues by the door. There was no one on guard on the second floor.Mila quickly walked to her parents' room which was always locked. She bent her back and slid the crumpled paper in her hand into the gap between the door and the floor. Then Mila quickly left her parents' room before Ezra's men saw her and suspected her of something.That morning image of her slipping a piece of SOS paper haunted Mila. Day by day she was more and more convinced that no one would come to save her. Even Hunter didn't care about him and only wanted the treasure that belonged to Kohen James."Have you finis

"Hunter must not know about any of this."Edward threw the crumpled paper in his hand into the blazing fireplace. The sound of crackling wood filled the void in their spacious and majestic private room.Monica sat in front of her dressing table, busy removing all the accessories that stuck to her body after she attended an important gala dinner with her husband's colleagues. Her eyes stared at her husband who was sitting in front of the fireplace, grinning sarcastically at her.“Mila probably still thinks that we are her parents and we are going to save her from that bastard.”“Poor girl. We are absolutely not coming for her. I have already ordered my people to eliminate her.”“Hunter would definitely disagree. He is crazy about Mila.”"He doesn't need to know. Hunter is too stupid to think Mila loves him too.”"I know Mila only thinks of Hunter as her big brother."Monica took micellar water from her dressing table and started cleaning her face, which was decorated with light makeup.

“Hey...”Mila did not take her eyes off the television that was showing a commercial. But she was staring at the television screen not because she was watching it, but because she was busy daydreaming and she didn't notice Ezra's presence beside her.“You are wasting your time daydreaming. You should be thinking about your final assignment now instead of doing useless things here.”“Shut up! You have no right to judge me. You don't even have the faintest idea of what I'm feeling right now."“I'm not. And I'm not going to be stupid by daydreaming like you. Life goes on. Leave all the bad things behind.”Ezra said casually. He took a place beside Mila and glanced at his watch. It's still too early to go to the office. He could sit and watch the news on the tv for a few minutes before moving to his grandfather's office in town."I still can't believe Hunter did that."“Life is cruel. You will be surprised if you look at the facts.”“You said your parents were killed by Edward. How can

It was loud and full of cigarette smoke when Ezra walked into a strip club on the outskirts of town. From the outside the place looks like an old, unattractive building. The paint has peeled off here and there. Strong winds blew dry leaves around the club grounds until the place became very dirty and rundown. But for people like Ezra who lead a life in the underworld, this strip club is perfect for meeting with their clients and exchanging confidential information.Ignoring the seductive waves from the striptease dancers who were almost naked, Ezra walked straight to the inside of the club which was separated from the dance floor and bar area. Ezra entered a place which consisted of small booths inside, then he entered the third room without knocking on the door first."We need to talk."The man was half naked and surrounded by two striptease dancers on either side. He groaned and cursed under his breath because Ezra had disturbed his pleasure. Reluctantly he pushed aside the naughty

"You must let me go to Edward's house and see Hunter one last time before he is buried."“You can't. Mr. Edward will kill me if I let you go.”“To hell with that damn man. I want to see Hunter. He's my brother."Mila insists on going to Edward's house and attending Hunter's funeral which will be held this afternoon. She had spent the entire afternoon crying over Hunter and reminiscing about all the good memories they had made together. Why can life be so cruel to them? Mila muttered bitterly. It was like she never expected that she would face such difficult days."Sorry Mila, you can't go there. You must stay at home until Mr. Ezra is coming.""Where is he now? I want to call him."Mila lifted her chin haughtily and walked into the only room with a telephone line. Yesterday she had seen a telephone in the library. She wished the phone was still active and that she could talk to Ezra right away so she could get to Edward's house on time."Maybe you can't talk to him. Mr. Ezra is very b

The last person to return from the banquet after Hunter's funeral tapped Edward on the shoulder lightly in a show of sympathy. He seemed genuinely sincere and offered a brief prayer for Edward's family to be given a strong heart after Hunter's death.Edward only nodded slightly in response to the man's sincere prayer. He quickly closed the door of his house and ordered the guards at the gate through the intercom not to disturb him as he and his wife were going to rest.Edward pinched the bridge of his nose a few times before he walked into the dining room to join his grieving wife. It's been a tiring day for him as well as for his wife. Mourners from various regions and associations came to give him moral support for Hunter's death. He honestly wasn't too impressed with anything they gave him or his wife. All he wants is a successful drama to build a bigger business empire.When Edward entered the dining room, he saw his wife still struggling with a pile of tissues. The seafood pasta

Mila walked through the living room towards the front door with her eyes half closed. Her apartment bell rang loudly many times to wake her who fell asleep after breastfeeding Gerrald in her baby room. Luckily, Gerrald didn't wake up because of the sound of the apartment bell that the annoying guest kept pressing repeatedly. "Wait a moment." Mila shouted in annoyance between the sound of the bell that kept echoing around her. Mila quickly pressed the combination numbers on the lock panel and a soft beep sounded at the door. The annoying knocker immediately burst in while growling in annoyance. “Why did you have to change your apartment password? I've been standing outside for half an hour." "I overslept while nursing Gerrald." Ezra's eyes moved down to Mila's blouse button which was not fully buttoned. He looked up briefly to meet Mila's face, then his hands quickly reached for the buttons of the blouse to button. “What are you doing? I can do it myself.” "To shorten the time."

3 months later The people applauded enthusiastically after the red ribbon for the inauguration of the new office was cut by the main star. Camera flash immediately rained down on his body mercilessly until it felt like he would go blind any minute. But Ezra can't complain too much about the enthusiasm people have for the merger between his company and Mila's company which is now growing rapidly. The three months since the shooting incident at Mila's apartment have brought many changes to their lives. Especially now that they have a little man in the middle of their new life. Mila smiled a little at Ezra's figure who was serving the paparazzi who were busy surrounding him. Ezra practically looks like a lump of sugar swarmed by hungry ants. Mila's hands occasionally rocked her stroller when her little one, baby Gerrald, whined a little because of the noise around him. Gerrald was used to the silence in her penthouse. He was rarely exposed to the noise of the paparazzi who would hunt h

Ezra moved warily to protect Mila behind his back. He cursed many times for not incapacitating Jonas first before discussing things with Mila. "But what did you come into my apartment for?" Jonas smiled wryly. He pretended to pat his denim jacket as if it was dusty. Jonas has a bruise on his right jaw from Ezra's precise fist that landed there shortly after he snuck into Mila's apartment. "To get revenge on you." Jonas took a gun out from under his boots and pointed it at Mila and Ezra. “Drop your weapon or you will regret choosing to do that.” “Are you scared, Ezra? You're not the only one with a gun. Even I have it too. You have destroyed my plans. I thought you were already rotting in hell, but you tricked us all.” “Glad that you were stupid enough and duped. You have terrorized Mila and disturbed her life.” "Because of you. I had forgotten about my stupid desire to take revenge on you when you were reportedly drowned in the sea. But who would have thought that you would ri

"Ssshhh... Don't scream, Mila!" "Who are you?" Mila's body froze when an arm stretched forward and hugged her chest until her shoulders pressed against the man's chest. From his voice and body aroma the man was very similar to Ezra. But it is not possible. Ezra is dead. Even the police had given her an official statement that the rescue team had not been able to find Ezra's body that had fallen into the sea. "You can't possibly forget me. You know me so well, Mila.” "Ezra is dead. Don't try to be Ezra in front of me." Mila's voice trembled as she tried to bully the man. In fact, Mila almost fell to the floor if the man's strong arms didn't support her shoulders. "Look at me." Mila's body was rotated one hundred and eighty degrees until now Mila was facing a man whose face was very similar to Ezra's. Her face stiffened as she stared at the man's face. Mila wanted to push the man's chest away, but her body couldn't move because she was too shocked by what was happening before her

"Wait here. I won't be long." Meyer stopped his car in the middle of the forest and let Ezra get out of his car to walk along the path in the middle of a lonely forest. "Good luck. Make Felix pee his pants seeing your ghost.” Meyer laughed loudly before Ezra slammed his car door loudly. Ezra walked to his lonely hunting house in the middle of the forest. He had seen Mila come with Jonas crying hysterically in Felix's arms. Apparently Felix didn't wait until the next morning to tell Mila that he had fallen overboard and might have died. His palms itched to punch Jonas when he saw him put his arm around Mila's shoulders. But luckily Felix chased him away quickly and Mila didn't try to keep Jonas from staying in his house. Ezra decided to make a detour through the back of his cabin. He saw the kitchen light was still on and saw Felix's silhouette standing by the sink. Looks like Felix and Mila are talking about something serious. He then hid behind the firewood storage rack, waiting

The high and ferocious waves rocked his boat so many times that he couldn't even sit still in the boat. His face was wet and his lips were twitching coldly because of the splash of sea water that was almost below freezing. The buoys and layers of clothing that wrapped around his body couldn't block the super cold sea breeze that was blowing very hard around him. Only a madman would go out to sea in the midst of a raging storm like this one. And damn that crazy person is him. Meyer repeatedly looked up at the sky, hoping that a violent storm would not come soon because he was still bobbing in the middle of the sea. It would take him at least another twenty minutes at the earliest to get to the beach and quickly find a warm place to keep him from catching frostbite in the morning. At first Meyer thought his ship was being hit by waves again. He heard the sound of water hitting solid objects, and then the boat shook slightly. He had almost given up on surviving in the middle of the sea

"Thanks Felix. I don't know where else to go but here. My apartment is not a good choice when I have problems with Jonas.” Mila took a sip of her hot chocolate, letting the delicious chocolate liquid flow down her throat and calm her down. She was on the verge of deep frustration. “I told you that his intentions weren't pure.” Felix took a place in front of Mila while looking at her concerned. "I know it. But I don't think he will force me to accept his proposal. He's crazy. He even screamed in the restaurant and made us both a spectacle.” "Relax Milla. You can't be stressed. Remember what Doctor Rosaline said at the last check-up." Mila sighed and nodded. "I remember. My blood pressure is very low and I have to have a transfusion if it stays low.” “Good girl. Better forget about Jonas. You have to distance yourself from him." "I have done. But he often comes to my apartment, helping me organize my future baby's room. How could I possibly ignore his kindness.” "Now he won't c

"Thanks for inviting me to dinner, Jo." "You're welcome. Please sit down Mila.” Mila smiled faintly and pulled the chair in front of her. Jonas looked like he was about to pull out a chair for her, but Mila refused and said that pregnant women are not disabled. "How's the little one?" "Very good. Well it's been seven months, two more months before his birth. Really really fast.” Mila sighed softly. "I'm grateful. I'm glad to see you're fine. The last few months have been tough for you." "Very tough." Mia smiled weakly. It was a miracle that she survived two more months without Ezra by her side. She had shed tons of tears since the past two months. When finally the rescue team failed to find Ezra and the police officially stated that Ezra was lost due to drowning in the sea. Her legs literally went limp when she received the news. She almost fell to the ground if Felix didn't put his arm around her shoulders and support her limp body. Her heart… she didn't know if her heart had
TIED TO YOU (ASSASSIN'S LOVE STORY) A HUNDRED FOUR
Hunter was ushered out of his cage into the courtroom. After a week in jail, now Hunter looks so messy and ugly. His face was pale and shabby. The dark circles under his eyes were very dark. Hunter let his sideburns grow wildly on his face so that he looked like an old hermit who had just been taken out of a cave. Hunter's hands were handcuffed behind his back. Hunter took a deep breath in the scent of the courtroom and felt a tinge of relief that he could finally smell something other than the rotting smell of rotting prison food. Two policemen gently pushed Hunter's shoulders and pressed him to sit on the prison chair. Not many were present at his trial. Hunter didn't even expect anyone to come. But suddenly his eyeballs met Mila's eyeballs who were looking at him gloomily. Mila's face was somber and it looked like she had been wallowing in sadness for so long that there were no traces of joy on her face. Hunter's breath caught when he learned that Mila was present at the trial thi
