The Bad Boy Falls in Love Bliss
The next morning, Charlotte drops Halsey and Lincoln to school. Lincoln is sullen about his loss at the finals. He spots a few of his teammates at a distance but doesn’t acknowledge them. Instead, he avoids their gaze.“Linc, you can’t be sad forever!” Halsey consoles him. “You need to cheer up and try again.”“Hales, you don’t know how it feels to lose!” Lincoln exclaims. “It…I could’ve easily won the game!”“Yeah well…I know how it feels to be beaten up by a stalker,” she jokes, pointing at her injured head. Lincoln sighs.“I’m sorry Hales,” he mutters. “I’m just really sensitive right now…”Unbeknownst to Halsey, Lincoln is also upset that Nathan managed to wriggle his way back into the team. Nathan’s father made a ruckus last week with the Principal which forced Nelson to take Nathan back into the team from today. Lincoln is sour that he’ll have to play with his rival again but he has no choice.“Cheer up!” Halsey tells him. “You’ll be fine. You’ve got me. You’ve got Charlotte. We

“What if someone finds us here?” Halsey asks, feeling nervous.“Relax!” Nathan grins. “No one can catch us here. The CCTV has been broken for years and the guards don’t come here much.”They’re on the roof, sitting on the ledge. Nathan always felt peaceful on the roof away from people but with Halsey by his side, the feeling is more refreshing. He can’t help admiring her but tries to remain aloof to not scare her.“So, where do you wanna go on our first date?” he asks her.“I…I never really thought about it,” she admits. “I can’t decide!”“There must be something you want to do on your first date?”Nathan frowns at her. She genuinely doesn’t seem to know what she wants from her first date. “I’ve never thought of what to do on my first date,” she says sheepishly. “It doesn’t really matter. I’m fine with anything. We can just watch a movie or…er…”She’s fumbling to find an activity. What do people do on dates?“What did you do on your first date?” Halsey asks him. “You have plenty of e

That evening, Halsey knocks on Charlotte’s door. Lincoln is at basketball practice (Nathan skipped it as usual) so the coast is clear. Halsey is still not ready to tell him about her new relationship with Nathan but she doesn’t want to hide it for long. But what about Nathan’s expectations? She sadly wonders. So there’s only one person who can explain this to her.“Hey Hales,” Charlotte greets her. “What’s up?”“Charlotte, I need your help,” Halsey moans. “I…I talked to Nathan about my feelings for him.”“Really?” Charlotte is a little impressed by Halsey’s change in attitude and has to admit that being around Nathan is making the girl bolder. “What did he say?” She asks.“He likes me as well,” Halsey says sheepishly.“That’s great!” Charlotte squeals. “So, are you two dating? Tell me everything!”“You can’t tell Lincoln yet!” Halsey begs. “He still doesn’t like Nathan and I wanna patch them up before I tell him anything about this-”“Scout’s Honor!” Charlotte promises. “So what do

Nathan snickers at her.“Mac n’ Cheese?” He chuckles. “I can make other stuff, ya know! Steak, burgers-”“But I like Mac n’ Cheese,” Halsey murmurs, feeling crestfallen. It’s a simple dish but she loves anything with cheese in it, especially Mac n’ Cheese.“Fine!” Nathan groans. He was planning to cook something elaborate for her but he is puzzled by her simple request. Taking out a pan, he boils some water and starts to cook. Halsey watches him in wonder, her eyes gaping at his hidden talent.“You never said you like to cook!” She frowns. “I cook for myself most of the time,” he shrugs. “What about the maids or servants?” Halsey inquires. Surely a mansion that big should have a few household staff, right?“There aren’t any,” Nathan reveals. “It’s just me. I’ve been cooking since I was twelve.”Halsey is surprised. He’s been cooking all along? Why?“What about your dad? Does he cook?”Nathan’s jaw hardens at the mention of his dad. Halsey doesn’t understand why he’s so cold towards

Halsey releases herself from his embrace and strides over to his desk. There are a few law books on it which intrigues her. Nathan is slightly embarrassed, not wanting anyone to find out about it but Halsey was bound to find out anyway.“Yeah…I just thought I’d look into them,” he says trying to sound nonchalant but Halsey smiles at him.“You’re interested in law?” She asks as she flips through the book.“I was kicked out of the basketball team so I thought that I’d need a backup plan!” He grumbles. “And you…you told me that day that I might make a good lawyer so I thought I’d just check it out. Then I started reading a bit and got interested so I ended up studying a lot more.”Suddenly Halsey begins to connect the dots as she recalls how Nathan had read the books in their literature class and also realized that he had been taking school work a lot more seriously than before.Nathan’s ears turn red and he looks away. He’s embarrassed to show this serious side of himself. Ever since Ha

The car ride is tense. Halsey is sitting in the back seat while Nathan and his father are at the front. She can sense the tension between the men which keeps on increasing with every second. Nathan keeps on glancing at her through the rearview mirror as if making sure that she’s safe back there.He doesn’t trust his father one bit and he’s sure that Daniel is trying to think of a way to hurt Halsey, if not today then in the future.“So, Halsey,” Daniel begins. “How long have you been dating my son?”“Uh…today was our first date,” Halsey mumbles.“Is he treating you right?”“Yes, he is.”&ldq

Lincoln speeds past the opponents, dribbling the ball fluidly. His eyes are on the hoops and he seamlessly dodges the guards as he throws the ball in the air. It goes right through the hoop.The whistle blows and he feels triumphant. Nelson nods in a stiff manner but doesn’t comment while the other team mates marvel at Lincoln’s abilities.“If you keep playing like this, we might actually win the next championship!” Chad exclaims.Lincoln is flushed at his success but inwardly, he’s also sulking at his loss at the interstate championship. The defeat was humiliating to him even if the points were close. He wanted to win and gloat in front of Nathan. For years, he has seen Nathan being the center of attention but now, Lincoln wants the glory. He deserves it.“If you can keep your head in the game, then we have a chance to win,” Nelson comments. “Coach, we’re trying!” Lincoln protests. “The team-”“Is demoralized.”Everyone turns around to find Nathan standing there. He’s wearing his j

“Hales, you look lost!” Lincoln’s voice brings Halsey out of her reverie. She’s startled and gapes at him. They’re at the library where Lincoln was talking but Halsey is barely paying attention. “The captaincy is gonna be announced today!” He exclaims. “Aren’t you excited for me?” “Oh, yes!” Halsey smiles. “I’m really happy for you.” She’s sincere with her words. Seeing Lincoln happy makes her happy as well but Nathan’s actions are still bothering her. Ever since he admitted his withdrawal to her, she can’t help thinking if she’s responsible for his decision. She tried to ask him during their date last night but he avoided the topic. “It’s gonna feel so good to see the smirk being wiped off of Jacobs’ face!” Lincoln claims. “I know how badly he wants this but the rest of the team isn’t happy with him, especially after he got himself kicked out before the interstate championship. They blame him for the loss.” “But he wasn’t even there,” Halsey frowns. “Doesn’t matter. He was su

The Bad Boy Falls in Love Epilogue
*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

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
