"Damn it!" I yelled, throwing all my cards on my table in frustration. "I give up. This is dumb."

Kimberly laughed. "I didn't think that you would be such a sore loser, Oliver."

"I'm not but this is ridiculous."

"I told you that I was a master."

I scoffed and leaned back into my chair. After we settled down in the room, we took a shower and watched some movies until dinner. Afterwards, we played some boardgames and card games but I only won one game.

It would have been fun if both of us experienced an exceptional number of loses but continuously losing by myself sucked. I suggested to change the games multiple times, but Kim was unstoppable.

Kim smiled at me when our eyes met and I held back the urge to glare at her. How was she so good at this?

"You want to change the game again?" She asked.

"Nah," I sighed. "I'm done playing." 

"Don't be mad. I'm sure that there's a game here that you

    _KIMBERLY_When we got back home the following afternoon, Lora and Anastasia gave us an earful. It was cute seeing Lora pout and we couldn't promise that we would never do it again.Just like that, the week rolled by and everything was too perfect. Anastasia and Oliver were still kind of awkward around each other, but I was glad that they were both trying to get along.In the blink of an eye the weekend had approached and we were ready for our little holiday at Oliver's beach house. I was excited and I hoped that there wouldn't be any weird encounters like last time.I looked at Oliver with an amused smile while Ana burst into bouts of laughter. Lora was seated on Oliver's shoulders as she tried to tie his hair with her favorite pink hair tie that had a crystal butterfly glued on it. She was having a hard time putting all his hair into place.Seeing a tall, sophisticated man like Oliver in that hair tie was hilarious. It didn't suit h

    _KIMBERLY_After talking with Oliver, we walked back to the shore hand in hand. The wind blew softly as the waters swayed through our legs. I couldn't hold back the happiness from showing on my face.My love for Oliver grew and I smugly smiled to myself, grateful that I made decisions that allowed me to experience and wholely enjoy this moment. This was better than dragging myself through the day only to return to an empty apartment.It made me realize that as much as you might need a hand to pull you out from a dark place, your response to that hand mattered."Dad!" Lora called as she rushed towards us with a small, empty red bucket.He smiled and picked her up. "What's got you so excited?""I buried my beach buddy in the sand," she said with a giggle and pointed to a spot where only Ana's head was visible.I laughed. "I'll go and give her a hand."He nodded and leaned in to kiss my lips gently. I kissed him back

    _KIMBERLY_"You're still here?" Oliver asked when he walked into the living room.I stood up from the chair and rushed to him. "Of course. How can I go to bed as though nothing happened?"He sighed softly and stroked my cheek. "I understand but I want you to relax.""How can I relax when we are being watched? Now, you're involved too.""The security team have already arrived and they are searching the place. I've told them to stay until we are done with our trip so, don't worry too much."I nodded although that did nothing to calm me down. "I hope that nothing bad comes from this.""Me too. Things are starting to get out of hand. First, that man in the suit then this?"I stared at him for a while before dropping my gaze. "I'm sorry."Oliver gently grabbed me by the shoulders. "Don't be. This is not your fault.""But-""No buts. I should have thought about security before we came here but

    _KIMBERLY_"You have achieved such a massive school," Anastasia said as we walked towards my car in the parking lot. "It looks amazing."She insisted that I show her my ballet school and I did so when my work day arrived. After we got back from our trip, Oliver tightened security around the house and the school and as much as I didn't want to admit it to him, I felt safer.As promised, the security didn't stand out too much and they did not follow me around. Ever since then, there haven't been any more weird things going on. The dreadful feeling at the bottom of my stomach was gone and things went back to normal.Since today was my work day, I took Ana with me. I wanted to show her that I was doing well and that she shouldn't worry about me anymore. I still did not want her to stay any longer because William would definitely deal with her after she went back. But no matter how much I tried to explain that, she didn't listen and I

    _KIMBERLY_After last time's visit with Anastasia, I haven't been at the school in a while. Because she was returning home soon, Ana's been holding on to me like I was her lifeline and it was like we were attached by the hip.As much as it was fun to hang out with her, I had a business to run and I missed my little dancers. Today, I left the house before she could notice and I knew that she was upset with me through the texts that currently filled my phone, but I had to keep my ground.I walked into my class and smiled at the children, who were doing their warm ups."Kim's here!" One of the kids said when they noticed me and everybody turn to look at me.Suddenly, smiles grew on their faces and they rushed to hug me while almost knocking me over. I chuckled and returned most of the hugs before looking at the man who taught in my place."Thank you, Seth," I said."No problem. Although I would've appreciated th

    _KIMBERLY_Oliver parked his car in front of a huge mansion and we all stepped out of the car. The building ahead of us was at least twice the size of Oliver's house and it looked more grand.The large parking space gave the impression that this place was accustomed to receiving many guests. The sound of soft violin reached was heard from outside and other people were making their way into the mansion.The day finally came for Oliver's mother's birthday and I was nervous. I wondered if she was going to like me or if his relatives were going to accept me. Despite having a head full of dreadful scenerios, I made myself believe that since Oliver was a bundle of love and kindness, his family would probably be the same."Stay by my side always," Oliver said to me and I nodded as he wrapped an arm around my waist.That was the whole plan anyway. I couldn't even imagine walking around by myself and I hoped that his family wasn't

    _KIMBERLY_After dinner, people began to retire to their rooms. Before Oliver and I could leave the dining room, Anastasia approached us as she dragged a woman with thick, black hair and light blue eyes by the wrist.Unlike everybody else, the lady was in a white T-shirt, dark blue denim jeans and black heels. Despite her casual get up, she oddly suited the scene regardless of how obvious she stood out."Look who I found near the entrance," Ana said excitedly as she tried to catch her breath.I looked at Oliver and noticed that he was smiling at the other woman very fondly. I frowned. "Who is she?""Rebecca," he answered, probably noticing the skeptical tone in my voice. "Kim, this is my sister. Rebecca, this is my girlfriend, Kimberly Wingate."He's been introducing me by that title all night, but it never siezed to make me blush and feel a little shy.Rebecca's eyes widened. "Is she the mystery girl that th

    _OLIVER_I groaned and ran a hand through my hair as I willed myself to open my eyes. The soft greeting of chirping birds outside gave the morning a tranquil feel and I looked down at Kim, who was curled up beside me.I smiled and used the arm that was around her waist to pull her closer to me. Her dark curls delicately framed her face and her lips still kept a light pink colour in reminder of the lipstick that she wore yesterday.Her head lay on my chest and her arm was over my shoulders as she rested peacefully. I reached out before gently running my hand other through her waves.This beautiful woman besides me was one after my own heart and I cared for her deeply. My family loved her and she got along with everyone, especially my mom. I was concerned that she would be depressed during or after the party, but I guess that Kim is stronger than she looks.I thought about the bitterness in her voice when she asked who Becca

    _KIMBERLY_I stirred in my sleep with a groan as I shifted my body slightly on the bed that I was sleeping on. My throat was dry and I felt like I was drowning in an abyss of darkness.I began to wonder what happened as I kept my eyes closed. The last thing that I remember was the sound of gun shots and the heavy footsteps that got louder as William got angrier. Did Oliver and the others manage to save me or did William get away with me?I could just open my eyes to know the answer. It was simple. That was sensible enough but I couldn't bring myself to do so. What if things didn't go according to plan? I did not want to be pushed into that harsh reality.William was never going to change. Knowing that saddened me but it made me stop hoping for it.

    _OLIVER_ "How are her movements?" Detective Jun asked the other officer who came along with him. He hummed as he stared through the binoculars. "She's been standing there for a while." "They are probably waiting to see if someone is waiting for her." "Maybe, but we are too far to notice." He dropped the binoculars for a moment before looking through them again. "A car just parked a small distance from her." "Who's in the car?" I asked from the backseat. "Relax," Nick, the detective's co-worker, answered. "It's a blonde man." I hummed as I thought of anyone, except Ana, who was blonde. Detective Jun looked over his shoulder at me. "Are you sure about coming along?" I frowned. "I told you that I'm not going to stay home while this operation is going on." "You already have a broken arm. What will you do if something bad happens?" "We already went through those type of ques

    _KIMBERLY_ I slowly opened my eyes with a loud groan. Everything was spinning and my head hurt. Sitting up, I took in my surrounding. My drowsiness immediately disappeared when I realized that I was in another place. I was in a small room with no windows. The walls were painted with dark grey paint and despite not being tied up, my joints felt strained. I sat up and stretched. How long was I out? I looked around the room and noticed a camera on the corner of the ceiling. "You're finally awake." William's voice echoed in the tiny space. "You've been out for two hours." "Where am I?" I asked with a frown. "Some place somewhere. Details shouldn't be that important to you." "Asshole." He laughed. "It's funny because you still don't realize the position that you are in even now." "You said that you would hear me out. Why are you breaking your word again?" "I'm sorry, Rose, I

    _KIMBERLY_"Interesting," Detective Jun said as he looked at my phone, that lay on the table in front of him.Oliver and I invited him over to talk about the phone call that I had received from William last night. As agreed, I recorded the entire conversation. Now, we were all seated in the living room as I played the recording.Things were becoming dangerous so, Oliver sent Lora to stay with Olivia while we tried to get things under control. I sat next to him and his hand was over my shoulders while the detective sat across from us."What do you think?" Detective Jun asked me. "Is it worth it?""Of course, it is. I don't want any harm to come to the people around me," I answered, feeling insulted that he questioned the worth of the situation."Then what do you want to do?""I want to do whatever I can to ensure the safety of everyone including myself.""Do you want this man behind bars?""Of course.

    _KIMBERLY_My body trembled as Oliver increased his pace. I moaned softly as he went deeper into me and my grip around his neck tightened. Oliver was seated on the bed as I sat on top of him.Our bodies faced each other as we moved together. Oliver's breath was hot against my chest and I panted as I leaned into him more. My mind was hazy and all my attention was where he pleasured me.He reached out and fondled my chest with his hand. A small whimper left my lips and I leaned down to kiss him. Our lips moved roughly against each other as as we pleased ourselves and I moaned loudly when my body reached its peak.My body slumped against Oliver as I tried to catch my breath. Oliver's hand dropped to my thighs as he caressed them softly while we both calmed down.I held his shoulders and pushed myself away from him. He stared at me with a goofy smile that I couldn't help but laugh. What a weird face to make after sex.

    _KIMBERLY_I looked around the cafe that we agreed to meet detective Jun and saying that I was anxious was an understatement. This little cafe was warm and peaceful. The place had a cute nature design and it was filled with people, showing me that it was a popular place.Despite the soft atmosphere mixed with the sounds of conversation that was going about, these two things made me even more restless. This place was filled with people. What if William sent someone to spy on me?Oliver rested his hand on top of mine and I looked at him. "Are you okay?" he asked.I gave him a small, nervous smile and replied, "I'm not.""Still feeling nervous?""Yeah. I can't help but feel like I'm doing something wrong.""Sometimes we need more than our own strength to get things done. He's been tyrannizing you for too long and he needs to be stopped.""I understand that, but my family is on the line." I let out a deep sigh. "I don

    _KIMBERLY_I was going to meet a detective and talk about my problems with William with him.I laughed softly. I couldn't believe it.I had to talk about something that I have failed to take to the authorities no matter how many times I thought about it. It made me relieved though. It gave me a certain sense of freedom, but at the same time, it scared me.William always found out things about me as though he has been watching. I almost feel like he is watching my every move. What if he finds out that I'm talking to detective Jun and he attacks me directly?I didn't want more blood on my hands and I was tired of carrying every burden of blame that he put on my shoulders.Despite my fear, the thought of having him behind bars made me hopeful. This was a gamble that could either make things better or make them worse. A gamble that literally had my life depending on it.Oliver had a talk with the detective earlier and they o

    _KIMBERLY_I parked my car in the parking lot of Lora's school and leaned back into my chair with a heavy sigh. I was late. There were barely any cars in the parking lot and I was anxious about Lora's reaction to this after I had insisted on picking her up this morning.It was all Oliver's fault!"Let's take a short nap," he said."I'll wake you up so don't worry," he said.What was supposed to be a short nap would have kept us in bed until the evening if it wasn't for one of the maids, who called Oliver to ask for another day off, hadn't woken us up.I got out of the car and locked the door before walking into the building. I didn't know where to start looking for her so I peeked into every class I passed through.I kept reminding myself to calm down because I was only twenty minutes late and it could have been worse."Excuse me," a man called and I turned to face a short, slim man with brown hair.
