“Jolene, honey. Are you okay?” Mrs. Harris asked her daughter who had been picking at her food, since they were having breakfast. She had barely eaten anything and all she did was to stare at her phone.“Yes, mom. I’m fine.” Jolene said with a smile to keep her mother off her neck. She understands that her mother was trying to look out for her, but she could be annoying sometimes.Jolene was frustrated. She hasn’t seen nor heard from Marco since last night after they argued. He didn't come back to the room and had had his chauffeur drop her off this early morning instead, which ruined her chance of asking him further about Valerie and Chad.The most frustrating part of all this, is that she couldn’t get to him through the number that he has always called her with. From the very first day that he texted her with it, she’s been unable to call him without the line saying that the number doesn’t exist. Yet, he calls her with it.It was obvious that he had something to do with it, of cour
For the rest of the day Valerie wasn’t herself, she was more of a lifeless human as she helped around to clean the house. She couldn’t forget, no matter how much she tried, her mind would always go back to what happened in Donovan’s room in the morning.What pissed her off the most, was how her body reacted when he sweet talked her into doing what he wanted. She’s slowly losing her mind been here, and if it continues this way she’s going to end up being broken, physically, mentally and psychologically.Yet the young lady didn't want to give herself the false hope that help was coming. The plan about coaxing up to Donovan and playing his games with him just to earn his trust, died the moment he treated her like a worthless human.He treated her like she was some hoe that he picked up from the street, which helped prove to her that if she was to find her way out of here with the plan she initially had in mind, she has to be ready to sacrifice some few factors.She cannot lie or act to s
He fucked up.Donovan knew that.From the very moment he kept her alive and didn’t put a bullet in between that stunning eyes of hers, to taking her out of the dungeon. As well as to give her and her nephew a home, things got complicated.It went out of his control when he had her working as a maid, wearing the same costume as the others. Yet, in his twenty seven years of his life, he didn't know that he could ever find a maid sexy. Especially, that being the sister of the woman he wants to gun down.His father didn’t raise him up to be soft, nor did he raise him up with the fatherly care for him to actually have human empathy and normal human feelings. No, he wasn’t raised that way. The only thing that mattered was his business and his family.He only lived for the lifestyle that he swore into, women and feelings weren’t his thing. In his world, it is kill or he killed. It was more of a survival of the fittest and he has remained at the top of the food chain for a long time, and that
“Fuck!” A groan left Marco’s lips when he attempted to get the wine bottle but he strained his injured arm, which made the pain worse for him, the wine fell from his hands as its liquid stained the floor.He layed back on his bed, his back against the wall as he closed his eyes while heaving heavily to take in the pain in his arm. He didn't know that Donovan would go ahead to break his promise, a woman was coming in between them and he allowed her to do that.Not just any woman, an enemy’s sister. Marcoknew that his mistake was challenging him right in front of everyone but it needed to be done. He’s going soft ever since Valerie, that bitch came along.If his anger towards her was a fifty percent ratio, it heightened after what happened yesterday morning. He will be the one to kill Valerie, he knew that and this time not even his little fascination for her best friend, will be able to change his mind about doing that.He heard his room door open but he didn't open his eyes, since h
“Anything else you have got for me, Max?” Paul, an officer from the violent crime division in the New York city police department asked his junior colleague. After what has transpired here the last time his friend Scott Harris asked of him, that has the entire police database corrupted. It had him in an odd position after his boss, learned that he gave out information that is being handled by their task force to another department, that being a sheriff of a shabby town.It felt suspicious that every crime that was being handed over to them, resolved around Scott and his family. Especially that about his daughter, being stalked by the criminal that he was behind the attack at his station.Paul did put in a good word for Scott at the office after countless pleading for him to transfer to the city. Scott didn't actually care about the fact that the transfer might be rejected, but Paul has offered his boss significant information that might help fasten his transfer to the city, so, it
“What?”Marco stared at his father not believing his words, not only did he make it known to him that his mother was killed by Angelo Castillo. There was a whole lot of information that had been withheld from him that his father was spilling, but it was too late to let him know about that now.The information about him being blood related with Donovan. Their mothers were sisters and not only did Donovan’s father kill his mother. He attempted to kill Donovan’s mother but had failed to do that, ofcourse, Donovan has no idea about all of these.Yet the hate that surged through him, to learn that Donovan shared blood ties with the bastard that did this to his mother, had his initiative about Donovan not being an enemy changed instantly.Marco knew where his father was going with this. This was the point where he changed his loyalty towards Donovan, and used it against him to pay his father, and grandfather for killing his own grandfather.The Castillo family’s money was all blood money, b
Donovan was avoiding her, that Valerie could tell. Ever since what happened the last two days she hasn’t seen him, nor did she get the chance to tell him about changing her work routine and let her work in the maid quarters. He’s not in his room anytime she goes there to clean it, and he has been skipping breakfast which she didn't mind. As long as this was going to be her new routine, she won’t mind if he decides not to come back to the house anymore. So, not only was she relieved in these past days that she hasn’t seen him, her mind has been calm about what has happened. Although, there’s been no information about Marco, since he too hasn’t been coming to the house. It still bothered her because she wanted to know if he was okay. What if he’s dead? That has been the question on her mind since two days ago. Things have been quiet for her. Yet, there didn't seem to be any unusual movement or any latest gossip from the maids about what happened. Although, she couldn’t know if anyth
Marco groaned slightly as he opened his eyes to connect with familiar gray walls, he’s back at his villa but he was sure that this wasn’t where he was before.He vividly remembered having his father over here, he had walked out on his old man because he couldn’t take what it was that he was offering to him. Then he met Jolene.At the mention of her name, Marco sat up from his bed instantly which made him whimper in pain because he stressed his wounded shoulder. The doctor has advised that he avoids any strenuous activities for the moment, just until his shoulder is fully healed but it couldn’t be helped that he barely remembers that he had a gunshot wound on his shoulder.He wondered how Jolene still remembered her way back here, since the last time she was here he barely gave her time to know where exactly he took her.Smart ass!Marco said, but he was surprised that Jolene didn’t take him to her father. Frankly speaking, this was the perfect time, no, this was an opportunity that sh
