The Bad Boy Falls in Love Casino (3)
“Woah!” Halsey’s eyes widen in awe. They’ve arrived at the Checkmate Casino, one of the largest casinos in the country. It’s situated only an hour away from Bayers’ Coast but Halsey has never been to the place. The luxuriant casino has a red and gold theme with the touch of Indian architecture. The building is shaped like a miniature Taj Mahal only with dark jade marbles. Several pillars are placed within the building, sturdy and smooth while the carpets are deep scarlet. There’s a large throne in the middle of the room which is reminiscent of the infamous Peacock Throne which Halsey has only read about in the books. Even the names of the different sections are named after Indian Mughal rulers.“Akbar Hall,” she reads with difficulty. “Mumtaz Mahal? The owner has a rich taste.”“A little too rich,” Nathan remarks. He’s not impressed by the grandeur because behind the glamor is a dark secret. The whole place is buzzing with guests. Prominent businessmen have arrived with their dates,

Trent is in the car with Gerald. His laptop is lying open in front of him and he inputs several codes in it, hacking the casino’s security. “This is weird,” he mutters. “What’s weird?” Gerald demands. “There’s certainly an incoherency in the map,” Trent informs him. “Look at the screen. I can see there’s movement in the public areas of the casino because there’s a party going on. But I can also see that there’s an extension of the building which is rooted deep underground. There are a few people pacing the area but this area isn’t on the map we have.” “It must be a secret tunnel,” Gerald nods. “Can you find the entrance?” “Let’s see…” Trent scans the casino on the monitor. “There’s an entrance on the first floor,” he says. “Lemme try hacking into their main system.” He navigates the commands, putting in several complex codes but the screen shows an error. “What’s going on?” Gerald demands. “We can’t hack the entrance’s password,” Trent says. “They might have upgraded the syst
The Bad Boy Falls in Love Casino (Conclusion)
*A while back*Halsey is still standing near the pillar where Nathan had left her. She’s quite awkward there, unable to fit in with the glamor around her. It’s like being back in school again, her being the awkward and strange kid who can’t fit in.I wish Lincoln was here, she sadly thinks. Even though she had a fight with him last time, the presence of her best friend is still a comfort to her. If he was around, she’d have felt better. She quietly gazes at the people who are playing cards or gambling away their wealth. Several of the guests are drunk and that scares her. One man is lurching like a drunkard and spots Halsey. Grinning like a lecherous man, he stumbles towards her.Halsey is shocked when the guy touches her arm and says, “My my! I see that a pretty lady like yourself is all alone here. Why don’t you let me show you a good time?”“I-I…” Halsey stammers. “Please let me go!”She tries to tug her arm but the drunken man is quite strong. He’s probably thrice her size and re

Lincoln is sighing, feeling very tired. He strolls into his office and slumps into a chair. For the past twenty four hours, he has been assisting with several surgeries which is very tiring. His father has kept him on a strict schedule, claiming that it’ll be good for his career but Lincoln suspects Daniel is trying to keep him away from making his own decisions.Ever since Lincoln assisted in Hampton’s son’s surgery, Daniel has been keeping him busy with many other surgeries but not organ related ones.Why won’t he let me be involved in his work? He wonders.There’s a knock on the door which makes Lincoln groan. It must be a nurse who’s here to tell him he has to assist in another surgery. Not another one! He scowls.“I’m not doing any more surgeries today!” He exclaims. “Tell that to my dad.”“I think I’m a little more interesting than a surgery.”Lincoln frowns. “Jamie?” He calls out. The door opens and the beautiful actress he met at the party enters. She’s smiling at him.“Hell
The Bad Boy Falls in Love Their Song
Something in Nathan’s eyes twinkles but before Halsey can be sure, his hold around her only tightens. Halsey squirms in pain but doesn’t back down. What’s his answer going to be? Is he really looking for revenge?“You’re really something!” He sneers. “Revenge? You know nothing about revenge!”He pushes her away in disgust. Halsey glares at him, defiant.“Why did you do it?” She questions him. “Why did you kill Charlotte? What did she do to you?”Nathan lets out a mirthless laugh. “Are you pretending again? Is this your new act, Halsey Scott? Or did your boyfriend coach you?”His gaze hardens and his icy aura makes her spine chill. Halsey is suddenly aware that they’re completely alone in the car and he can do anything he wants to her. She slowly backs off as far as she can but Nathan leans forward and puts his hands on either side of the passenger door, caging her in between. “Revenge is a petty term,” he whispers to her. “Prison? I’d rather rot in prison than be with you lot! But I
The Bad Boy Falls in Love Can't get him out of mind

Halsey should be relieved but in reality, she's damn miserable.One morning, Halsey is late to work because she had a splitting headache at night. She sneaks in through the door only to find Prudence standing there, looking furious."Where the hell have you been?" She screams at Halsey. "Do you have any idea what time it is?"Prudence hates Halsey because of the apparent closeness the nerd shares with their boss. She has been a maid at the penthouse only for a month and Nathan is already taking her to balls and meetings! This enrages Prudence, who is pining for the Young Master."I was sick-" Halsey tries to explain but Prudence shoves a mop in her hands."Scrub the floors!" She barks. "Once you're done, clean young miss' room.""Yes…"Halsey starts to mop the floor. She knows that she'll have to mop the entire penthouse which will take hours. Her limbs
The Bad Boy Falls in Love The Coach (1)
*8:30 PM at the Calypso Hotel* The elevator door slides open to reveal a pair of men. One is a large man in his forties with a thin mustache and a long scar across his face. His partner is shorter and thinner. He has scruffy brown hair with a bald patch on his head. “Is everything done, Lance?” The large man asks. His voice is gruff, almost sadistic. He gives his partner a glare as if threatening him. “Yeah yeah!” Lance groans in his squeaky voice. “We won’t mess up this time, Kal. I’ve already talked to the guards. The little kid is in that house!” Lance nods. They had been observing this hotel for the past month, planning carefully. The guards who will be on duty are on their payroll and have already informed them that the girl will be alone tonight. There will be a maid watching over her but they can take care of her easily. “If we mess up this time, Salvez will know,” Kal winces. “We must take her tonight!” “I just hope the father doesn’t return,” Lance says. “The guards told

Halsey and Jo are seated in Nelson’s living room. Jo is curiously watching the small yet cozy house which has a warm touch. Halsey is shocked and grieving for her late teacher. She remembers him as a strict but kind person who was good to all his students. Lincoln spoke highly of him and it was his wish to be in the basketball team under Nelson someday. But why did Lincoln not know about his death? Tilda returns to the room with a few albums and photos. “He used to love you all a lot,” she says. “Always spoke highly of his students. He used to know their parents as well and kept an eye on his students’ wellbeing.” She shows her several pictures of Coach Nelson over the years. Halsey smiles as she observes the old man with fondness. “He was a good man,” she nods. “But why did he expect me to come looking for him?” “I never asked him but I can never forget that night,” Tilda shudders. “A few years ago, one of his students was involved in a murder case. Uncle couldn’t believe it so

*Eight months later in New York*Halsey is crying hard while Nathan looks guilty while Jo is quiet. “How could you do this to me?” Halsey wails. “This…this is…this is such a betrayal!”“Hales, I didn’t mean it!” Nathan exclaims. “It was an accident!”“Dad, this really isn’t right,” Jo adds, shaking her head. “I’m disappointed in you! How could you do this to mom?”Nathan gapes at his daughter. “It was an accident!” He claims. “I swear it was! I didn’t do it on purpose, babe! I-I was seduced!”“SEDUCED?” Halsey shouts at him. “SEDUCED?”She’s now angry and she throws a pillow at him. “SEDUCED? HERE I AM CARRYING A LITTER AND YOU…YOU…”Stopping in between her tirade, she takes several deep breaths. Nathan is ashamed and sad by what he did.“YOU…YOU ATE THE LAST PIECE OF CHOCOLATE?” Halsey shrieks and throws another pillow at him. “YOU KNOW I NEED CHOCOLATES IN THIS STATE!”Nathan is truly ashamed but the chocolate was too delicious to ignore. He thought no one would find out but Jo cau
The Bad Boy Falls in Love It's Over
Lincoln was being carried away by Damien’s men. He’s completely catatonic, his mind in severe shock. They took him to the psychiatric hospital where the doctors checked up on him. For many days, they’ve tried to figure out what’s wrong with him but to no avail.His encephalitis has reached the advanced stage in a short period of time. The doctors have no hope now.“He’s in a sort of a self-induced coma,” the psychiatrist tells Halsey one day. “He can’t comprehend anything. His eyes are open but his mind is shut. It’s as if he had a severe shock which he couldn’t overcome.”“Can he stand trial?” Halsey asks. “There must be something you can do to make him sane again. We can’t just let him off the hook like this!”“We’re trying but in a way, his punishment is this,” the doctor concludes. “He won’t be able to stand trial but he’ll not recover from this.”Halsey glances inside the ward where Lincoln had been kept. He’s staring at the wall, unmoving for hours. His once luscious hair has fa

*Present*“They must’ve found us!” Hastings exclaims. “How? You just said it’s a safe place?“I don’t know!” Lincoln yells. “They’ll kill us. Let’s just kill the kid and-”“ARE YOU INSANE?” Hastings screams. “She’s our only bet! If we take her, we can negotiate with them and leave this place alive!”As soon as he says that, several of Damien’s guards barge out of the elevator. Without any word, Hastings enters the room and grabs Jo before escaping through the fire escape. Lincoln runs off to hide.Downstairs, Nathan, Halsey, Damien and Daniel, are scavenging the floors.

Nathan keeps a firm grip on her while Damien instructs his men to spread out. “We’ll loo

Jo is glaring at Lincoln. She’s not crying nor looking scared but rather apprehensive of the man. The guards who were supposed to watch over her that day, had knocked out Jason and kidnapped her while she was on the way to school. They lied to Nathan that she was safe so that he wouldn’t come after them.Now, hours later, she’s tied up in an empty building. They’re on the fifth floor where Lincoln and Hastings are hiding. Lincoln is glaring at the little girl and he wants to push her off the window but she’s his only leverage to get Halsey.“In a few hours, your mother will come to me and we’ll leave this place,” he grins. “And you’ll be dead.”He steps forward, a manic glee in his eyes. “Once Halsey is here, I’ll kill you and take her with me.”“My dad will beat you!” Jo sneers. “Remember what he did to the other guy when he kidnapped me? I’m not scared of you!”WHACK!Lincoln slaps the insolent child. Jo feels immense pain on her cheek and even though her eyes are stinging with tear

Halsey is feeling a little squirmish. Things have been hectic for the past few days and it has taken a toll on her health. Just that morning, she threw up everything she ate. Nathan was alarmed by her condition and insisted that she went to the hospital for a checkup. He’s sitting with her, holding her palm. They’re outside the doctor’s office. Halsey was asked to undergo some tests and now, the doctor is reading the results.“Nate, I’m fine,” she assures him. “There’s nothing to worry about. Go to work.”“No, I won’t stop worrying until I see the reports!” Nathan insists. “I want to stay here.”Halsey smiles and shakes her head. He’s so persistent in every little thing related to her health. Nathan can’t help it. He lost her once and he can’t lose her again. The moment she started to show signs of being ill, he was overcome with paranoia. He’s thinking about the worst case scenarios and his heart is filled with fear. “Is Jo at school?” Halsey asks.“The guard texted me that she’s s

It’s like they’ve vanished.”Halsey is now troubled. Where could they be? Nathan puts his arm around her shoulder. “We’ll find them,” he assures her. “They can’t hide for long.”“I hope so,” she murmurs and hugs him.Meanwhile, miles away from Bayers’ Coast, Lincoln is feeling frustrated.

CRASH!The vase breaks into thousands of tiny pieces. Standing above the broken ceramic is Lincoln, with wild red eyes. He’s in a murderous rage and he breaks everything in his vicinity. Hastings is on a couch, bored of the man-child’s drama but Lincoln is on a warpath.“I’LL KILL THEM ALL!” Lincoln shouts. “THEY’VE BETRAYED ME-”“You were stupid enough to trust a stranger,” Hastings yawns. “You should’ve come to me instead. Just like your dad did. Your stupidity cost us the hospital. If you had your shares, we’d have been unbeatable today.”Lincoln shoots him a glare but Hastings doesn’t care. They’re at Lincoln’s farmhouse, a property he had purchased a few months back in secret. Lincoln can’t fathom his loss. Jamie and Damien double crossed him but he’s more shocked by Salvez.“My father is a fool! He only wants his business to be safe but I don’t care about all that!” Lincoln yells. “I just want Halsey!”“And I want revenge against Nathan Michell,” Hastings says. “The best way to

Daniel and Lincoln stand up, shocked. They gape at Nathan who’s grinning. “What’s the meaning of this?” Daniel snarls at Salvez. “Why are you withdrawing your support? And isn’t he the head of the Michell family? He’s your enemy!”“My father is merely supporting me,” Damien calmly says. Daniel rounds on him.“Did you forget that I saved you all those years ago? I gave you a new heart!”“By killing the woman I love,” Damien quietly says. This makes Daniel even more furious. Lincoln is glaring at Jamie but she’s smug. Nathan takes charge.“Fifty five percent of the shares have been transferred to me,” he tells his father. “You’re not the chairperson of this hospital anymore. I am. It’s over for you, dad.”Daniel glares at Nathan while Lincoln is silent. He’s too shocked, too numb to say anything. Once again, he has lost. This can’t be happening, he tells himself. It’s all a bad dream!But it’s not. It’s real and it’s happening. Nathan has taken over the hospital and effectively, Linco

Nathan is sitting on the couch, thinking hard. It’s past three o’clock in the morning and he’s not sleepy. On the contrary, he’s feeling agitated about what’s going to happen in a few hours. Even if everything seems to go according to his plan, he’s still nervous. What if something goes wrong? Even one misstep can ruin years of hard work.Halsey stirs in her sleep and rolls over to the side to hug Nathan only to find the spot to be empty. She slowly opens her eyes to find him on the couch, drinking alone. He looks worried and this in turn, worries her.“What’s wrong?” she asks as she approaches him. “Why are you awake at this hour?”“Can’t sleep,” Nathan mutters as he takes a sip from his drink. Halsey sighs and sits next to him. She pours a glass of whiskey for herself. Nathan is slightly surprised.“When did you start drinking whiskey?” He asks.“I don’t drink it,” she admits. “I just wanna give you company right now, that’s all. Why? You don’t like it when I drink?”“It’s up to yo
