The Bad Boy Falls in Love Hey Hales
AUTHOR'S NOTE: The chapter mix up has been solved. This isn't a repeat chapter. Refer to my last chapter note! .......“The new school is so nice!” Jo chatters. “It’s got a large pool and a basketball court. I love themusic room too! And the teachers are really good to me. They don’t even complain when I bringUncle Gerald to class with me!”Halsey smiles as she ties Jo’s hair into a braid. They’re in Halsey and Nathan’s bedroom whereJo is chatting about her new school. She’s really excited to be there and has been talking aboutit.“Did you make any new friends there?” Halsey asks.“Lots of friends! I met Sasha, Suzy, Nial, Alex, and Abby! They’re really friendly. I think Alex likesme. He gave me extra chocolates today!”Halsey snickers. “Don’t let your dad hear that,” she says. “He’ll make the poor kid suffer.”Jo pouts but is soon busy playing with her doll while Halsey finishes braiding her hair.“There you go!” Halsey says. “It’s a pretty mermaid braid.”“Like th

“You’re late again,” she murmurs. “Is everything alright?”“Everything is fine,” Nathan assures her. “Did you manage everything for the event tomorrow?”“Jason and Trent are setting it up,” Halsey says. “I tried to refuse their help but they said they’ll handle everything faster so I just let them. I’m surprised how quickly they got the caterers and stage. I’m not so worried now.”“Good, then that means you can come on a date with me.”“Date?” Halsey blinks in surprise. Before she can ask what he means, Nathan scoops her up in his arms. It’s becoming a habit of his. He loves carrying her around bridal style.“Don’t you get tired of carrying me to places like this?” She giggles. “I must be very heavy!”“What? No! You’re way too light. I can almost carry you in my pocket!”To Halsey’s surprise, he’s carrying her out of the bedroom.“W-where are we going?” She squeaks. “On a date,” Nathan winks as he carries her to the front door.“But I’m not dressed! I’m only wearing a t-shirt and paj

When Halsey wakes up the next morning, she finds herself alone on her bed. She recalls Nathan had wrapped her up in a blanket and carried her back to their bedroom. But he’s nowhere around. Instead, there’s a note stuck on his pillow.“See you at 7 at the Lounge,” he writes. Halsey is a little worried about him. He said he had some business out of town but promised her that he’ll make it to her show. But will he be able to arrive on time?Before she can dwell on it, her gaze falls on the wall clock.“Sh*t!” She exclaims. “It’s noon!”She scrambles off the bed and quickly gets ready. There are other arrangements to be made and fast. Putting aside all her worries, she heads off to the Lounge.…Salvez pulls up in front of the casino. It’s quite lively that night with several patrons who are playing cards or gambling their money away. Some of them greet Salvez with enthusiasm while he only politely nods at them. He doesn’t wait around to talk but rather heads for the secret den near the

Damien is standing in front of his father, his expression stony. Salvez is sputtering in shock. He’s unable to believe his eyes. Damien is now pointing his gun at Salvez, with only a tiny amount of remorse in his eyes.“Y-You will…betray me?” Salvez gasps. His heart is wrenched with sorrow as his own son looks for his downfall. It’s unbearable.“After all I’ve done for you, you’ll still betray me?” Salvez bemoans. “How could you? I’M YOUR FATHER!”Damien isn’t backing down.“I know,” he says and to Salvez’s further shock, retreats the gun only to point it at his own chest.“I’m not killing you, dad,” Damien reveals. “I love you too much to do that. I only want to be freed from this cursed existence.”“N-No!” Salvez begs. “Don’t! Son, I’ve done everything to save you! I don’t wanna see you die. Kill me instead! If you want, kill me-”“It won’t change anything,” Damien whispers. Jason motions at Gerald who nods.“We’ll take these gentlemen away,” Jason says. “All this is ending tonight,

Halsey is nervously watching the stage. Everything is perfect. The lights are sparkling, the food is ready, the crowd is big, and the music is great. But she’s worried. Jason and Gerald took a few hours off, letting Trent and Parker fill in for them. “Woah!” Jo gasps at the band which is playing on stage. “They’re so cool!”She and Halsey are at the stalls with Trent and Parker. Jo is immensely enjoying the show, her tiny eyes twinkling with excitement.“Mommy, will you sing too?” Jo squeals. It’s almost time for Halsey’s performance but Halsey is reluctant to perform without Nathan.“I…” Halsey begins but Jo’s pleading eyes make her sigh.“I will,” Halsey promises. Jo squeals in joy. Halsey looks around but Nathan is nowhere around.He must be busy, she reasons with herself.The band finishes their song and it’s Halsey’s turn. She picks up a guitar while Jo and the others flash her a thumbs up. Halsey smiles and heads for the stage.All the lights fall on her and she’s nervous. What

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

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

*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. Hastings’ guards are being captured by their men, leaving their way clear. “Jo!” Halsey cries. “Jo, where are you?” “Jo?” Nathan shouts. The rooms are empty and they start to ascend the stairs. Daniel breaks off from the group, heading east to find Jo. In the chaos, no one notices him leaving.Halsey is beside herself with fear. 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

Over the next few days, Daniel is kept under close observation. Hastings and Lincoln are still missing, something which is looming over everyone’s heads. Nathan is trying to find them but to no avail. He and Halsey are trying to maintain normalcy at home so that Jo doesn’t suspect anything.One night, Nathan arrives home late to find Halsey is still awake. She’s curled up on the couch, reading. When she hears the door open, she looks up and smiles.“Any luck finding them?” she asks when he plops on the seat next to her. “None,” Nathan admits. “I can’t find them. 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. He’s angry and annoyed at being locked up in the house all day. Hastings told him that they’ll be implementing their plan soon but he’s lo

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
