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 tossed and turned restlessly as I wondered why Oliver was taking so long. We have been together for almost six months but I still couldn't shake off how badly I missed him all the time.A part of me felt afraid that I was being too clingy but I didn't let it bother me because Oliver never complained about it. I rolled over until I was lying on my back and I stared at the ceiling.The Woodlings were different from my family. They weren't overwhelming or overbearing and it felt warmer than my family. A part of me wished that I could introduce Oliver to my family, but there was nobody who I wanted him to know. If my parents were still alive, I would have reconsidered.I sighed and stretched for the hundredth time that morning. I didn't care about the Wingates. I didn't give a damn about them nor did I care about what they had to say anymore. I had to focus on what was in front of me.The vibrations from my phone caught my at

_KIMBERLY_It was late in the afternoon and, having nothing better to do, I was still in bed. I put aside the book that I was reading and stretched my legs passed the duvet cover.I finally found the energy to read the books that I had bought last time. Despite buying two more books, I just stacked them on a shelf in Oliver's walk-in closet as I convinced myself that I was too busy to read.But today was the day! I was bored of my phone, Ana went out exploring, Lora went on a field trip and would be back after two days and Oliver! God help me, Oliver wasn't giving me any attention at all.He was preparing for a business dinner and kept moving around as he chose what to wear and what to do with his hair. If he wasn't on the mirror having second thoughts over his outfit, he was on the phone with his assistant.Is this how men felt when they waited for their partners to get ready?I kicked the duvet completely off of m

_OLIVER_I tapped my fingers impatiently on the dark, mahogany table as everyone around me chatted happily amongst themselves. My company managed to seal the deal and now, we were just getting to know each other better over a meal.Woodling Inc. had booked an entire floor of a hotel close by and hired a highly recommended restaurant to supply us with food for the evening. The atmosphere was great and this partnership would bring many good things for my company.This should have been the best day of my life, but I wasn't in the mood for any more interactions. It's been over three hours and I just wanted to go home.As soon as the main part of the meeting was done with, my mind went back to what happened earlier today. I was frustrated that what was supposed to be a joyful session of teaching Kim how to tie my tie ended the way that it did.I neither wanted her to hate me nor did I want her to be angry with me. Why can't she under

_KIMBERLY_I was seated on one of the benches in my class as I thought of a song that I could dance to. Most of the classes were empty, including mine, and it was peacefully quiet.I scrolled down the playlist in my phone as I skipped all music that made me think of Oliver. My anger wasn't as much as it was yesterday but I didn't want to speak to him yet.I had spent the night at a hotel nearby and as much as I did not enjoy being alone, it gave me time to think about everything. I felt overwhelmed by the entire situation. I didn't want him to think that I hated him but that's how I somewhat felt.My entire life and the past that I tried to hide so desperately was all in a folder that was in the hands of the man that I love. How could I properly wrap my head around that?I finally settled on Fréderic Chopin's Spring Waltz and as the music began to fill the room, my thoughts began to wander onto great pianists such as Beethoven,

_KIMBERLY_ I walked into the cool, air conditioned hallway of the hospital as my heart pounded viciously against my rib cage. I kept my mind clear as I followed the directions that Ana had sent earlier and avoided all negativity that would flow in if I let my guard down. Turning a corner, my heart softened at the sight of Anastasia and Olivia, who were seated on the bench in front of Oliver's room. I noticed that they were bent over as they looked at Olivia's phone and I wondered what they were looking at. I slowed down my steps as I approached them and when I got closer, I discovered that they were staring at old photos. "Here," Olivia said as she pointed to a picture where a child, who was in a school uniform and looked to be in his early teens, was visibly upset, "is when Oliver didn't want to go to school because he said that the girls would fill his desk with love letters again since it was Valentines day." She let out a soft chuck

_KIMBERLY_Night had fallen in the blink of an eye and the house was quiet and dark. I walked into the kitchen as I threw my hand over my mouth when a yawn escaped my lips. I was exhausted but my thoughts couldn't give me peace.My mind kept running and I gave up on falling asleep a few hours ago. The bed was cold without Oliver and the empty space besides me kept reminding me of what happened today. Or yesterday, depending on the time.After Olivia, Anastasia and I returned home, I had the help prepare a room for Olivia. We later had dinner together but Olivia insisted that she was not hungry so, she went straight to bed.The silence during the meal was heavy and we barely talked. Lora barely touched her food and she left the meal in the middle so that she could get to bed. I couldn't blame her though since I understood how she felt.Oliver was all she had.Reaching the fridge, I pulled it open and looked at everything t

_KIMBERLY_After our first visit to the hospital, the burden in my heart and mind was lighter. I went through the days happily and things were looking up for me.Having heard about the news, the teachers at the ballet school cheered me up and their support was endearing. Some gave me flowers while others stopped to check up on me regularly. Even my little ballerinas were so sweet to Lora that it somewhat restored some of my faith in humanity.Currently, I was at the school and I was impatient to go home. I had left Olivia and Ana decorating the house since Oliver was coming back today.It's been three days without him and I was glad that the doctors were comfortable enough to send him back to us. Things were coming together nicely and I should be over the moon.Well, I am but things were going too well. Nothing else came up and William didn't contact me at all. For someone who was determined to ruin my life, he was taking his time and

_OLIVER_ I looked at all the happy faces around the table and I felt elated to be back home. Being around people who valued me this much was more important than any medication. Being in the hospital gave me so much time to think and I realized how serious things were getting. This wasn't something that could be easily solved and after having a taste of death, it was terrifying. This discovery made me even more determined to end everything. I had a feeling that my car was purposely tempered with and I had an idea of who that might be. I thought about Lora and everybody else important to Kimberly and I. If William Wingate could go this far then who knows how further he would go. I remembered Ana's words about what kind of man that Willam was and they made me feel uneasy. Pushing these thoughts aside, I sighed and focused on what was in front of me. My beautiful family. I never get to see Lora cry often and having her bawling in my

_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. During our conversation, he would twist my words in a way that made sense to him and I could see in his eyes that he truly hated me despite declaring his love.The gentle touch of cold

_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. I want

_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. "Are you
