I walked down and directly to my car cause for the past few days I didn't feel like eating anything. The only thing I was living on was water.

"What?" I scrunched my face in confusion while staring at Eva who was waiting for me at my office when I came.
"You see, I told you to not take help from the police because I knew something like this would happen. He isn't stupid to think you won't do anything. The place where he had kept Alyssa is bought by your father but it is in your name. So taking police help in this will affect your reputation, and he will surely find a way to blame all this on you." She said while handing me some property papers.
"But I can go there and ask them to clean that area cause it's my place, my possession, and they have to listen to me," I suggested on which she gave me a look saying 'You-joking-or-you-had-gone-crazy'
"Why look at me like this?" I inquired with a raised brow on which she stared
I sighed while sitting comfortably on the sofa as the girl beside me kept on drinking one after another glass of wine and I didn't stop her as it would be good to ask things from her when she would be drunk. "Two more please." The female slurred but I stopped the waiter asking him to not bring more drinks. It was weird, but I felt bad for making a girl drunk and getting all the information from her cause I have been always a nice guy. Never had hurt someone nor interfered in others' life and if someone would think from my point of view I wasn't wrong right now too. Sure I had one-night stands and a reputation as a rude playboy but it didn't mean I was really like that. The girls would know what they were getting themself into and I have always been nice to them. Even today, I wouldn't hurt this woman badly until she would help me and wouldn't cross her lines. Fearing that too many drinks might cause her to pass out which wouldn't be at a
Late at night with cold winds blowing and nothing but silence surrounding me. Suddenly, a man in all black came from behind and tapped my shoulder. What should have I felt at this very time? Right, I got heebie-jeebies thinking who it could be. "Sir." Frowning I turned back to see a man whose face was covered with a black mask, only his eyes and scar could be seen. "What did you say? No, firstly, who are you?" I questioned calming my running heart that jumped when this man came out of nowhere. "I'm the man your father send last time too. This letter, he wanted me to give this to you." Confused I took the white envelope as the man backed away and turned to go from where he came from. Soon he was mixing with darkness and then gone. I was standing all on my own, feeling sad, confused, and had a lot more emotions spreading through me. A sad smile made its place on my face as I remembered Alyssa telling me just how much she liked sitt
Xavier Pov The bullets were flying crazily in the air but I ran as fast as I could toward the figure. Heart beating with an abnormal speed my mind rode my body to that place, I couldn't stop even when I was afraid of what I would see. 'Is the figure really who I think it is?' A feeling of uncertainty stirred in my chest, 'am I ready to see what is in front of me?' The only street light that was shining dimly, giving just a little help for me to see around, was making it hard for me to take a look at my surrounding still I couldn't fail to notice the person who was running towards me. My speed increased to double when the figure cried in pain and was about to fall. Just a second before she could drop down my hands touched her back. My heart leaped in my throat as I felt many emotions swirling within me. I had never felt this overwhelmed by emotions but right now staring at the girl's face that I craved to see made me forget ever
After meeting most of the people which included my sister and friends, it was evening already. I was quite shocked after seeing some employees at the company, who were my friends, also came to meet me. But Andrew wasn't that pleased with some males visiting me and on the top who my husband didn't like was William, the fellow who had made my man jealous many times. "Aren't you tired of sitting on that plastic chair?" I questioned the male randomly who came just now to meet me after work, he went to the company as I forced him to focus on the work because Adrian could take advantage of him not giving attention to the work. But at night he had been staying at the hospital looking after me. I had told him to rest, Noah had said that he could stay with me or any other friend of mine could be with me here but my husband wouldn't listen. He said 'how can I sleep at home peacefully when my mind would keep drifting towards the thoughts like how is my wif
Sitting on the hair I typed the words gash as much speed as I could knowing this document was needed by Andrew for an upcoming meeting. After checking some other files I stood up to walk towards his office, suppressing the pain that shot through my stomach cause I bent down to get the fallen paper from the floor, I heard the male shout on the way. "Do you even know how much this mistake of yours will cost us? I have a meeting in thirty minutes, can do you it all again!?" He seemed angry and was shouting at the top of his lungs. For some past days, he had been shouting and being too harsh with other employees. Not only that, he had been stressing and overworking all the time. On top of all this, he wasn't letting me know about any of his problems. He has acted normal and has been a nice polite, and caring husband but I could see through his mask of calmness. He has been worrying about many things but I couldn't get what was making him like
Some days were just sad, and gloomy and they gave me bad bines. I felt uncomfortable and my heart didn't feel at rest too. Walking around with a straight face while zoning out here and there was quite common on these types of days. Today, for me, it was one of those days, I still have to ask Andrew about my phone that I left in the office when those men took me away. But for now, I didn't have anything to do except lay on the bed and stare at the ceiling. It was early in the morning and my husband was for the first time sleeping peacefully in his room on Sunday. When I went to see him for asking about something he was fast asleep. He had always tended to wake up early and it was a surprise to see him still at home, sleeping. Not wanting to disturb him I came back but now I didn't know what exactly to do. Drama? I didn't have any good one in mind and had finished one whole drama yesterday. Story? I couldn't read any cause of no phone or book available and library..... by that,
"You ain't going today?" My husband popped his head inside the room and once again I could see the big under-eye bags and disheveled condition of his. I sighed, not liking his appearance. It reminded me just how bad I was. I couldn't even make him happy and maybe he didn't believe in me enough to share his problem. Sitting up with a yawn I rubbed my eyes, last night I couldn't sleep because my mind was filled with different thoughts about Andrew, Adrian, and my friend who seemed to have a feeling for a guy for the first time, but he was being stupid. "No, I completed every work yesterday and had given everything to Emma who will pass it on to you today." He frowned before stepping into my room and lightly closing the door behind him. "Why, are you not feeling well?" He looked like he had lost some weight as his shirt wasn't as tightly hugging his body as it would always. He hasn't been eating anything other than water and it was worrying me now, but he wouldn't ever listen to me.
It is hard to do something that you don't want to but at the same time, you want to do it. My mind and heart were on different sides and they have torn me into two. Confused and frustrated, a mess. Not only not knowing what side to choose but preventing myself from choosing any bad thing that I might regret later. For me, it wasn't new. I had chosen the worst every single time for myself until.....Andrew came knocking on my door asking me to marry him and for that, he gave me money too. I heard people saying that wealth could make people powerful and they could buy anything....anyone. Put the right person on the wrong path but never did I think that I would be one of those who would give herself for money. I agreed to live with a stranger and then have a child with him as long as he was giving me money, but wasn't it the best thing I ever did in my life? A thing thought to be a mistake became my best decision, that one 'yes' changed my whole life upside down. Once a poor girl who
I unintentionally scowled while my mind went wild thinking about who this guy was, in a long black hoodie with his face covered and the baggy trousers were touching his black worn-out shoes. 'Is he a thief? Or is he a shabby-looking bodyguard of Andrew that's why the other two aren't paying much attention to him?' "What's with that face of yours? That man is no one you should pay attention to." Adrian said still not telling me who it was. Licking my lips I thought for a while, my eyes staring at the videos ahead of me before I signed. Maybe I should not think too much. Slumping back on the chair I stared around. Only three chairs were placed in this room, from which one was empty right now. The white walls were clean and empty... Just like my life, that was what came to my mind but I shook my head. I was happy now, but if this whole event didn't go well, then I didn't know what would happen. I roamed my eyes around to
"Are you all fine with this plan?" I asked nervously because now when it was the day to put that idea into action I was hesitating, what if this plan was not good enough? What if she was already preparing for this? What if she knew about our intention behind calling her here? Many and many questions arose in my mind as I sat to think about 'how this night will come to an end?' "Come on, be a little sure of yourself. Everything will be fine." Noah as always cheered me up as I nodded. Even when Andrew didn't like Adrian, he was part of our plan and so the four of us were discussing one last time how things should go. "But why do Alyssa have to go with that man." Even after all the videos and conclusion, that the other guy was not at fault my spouse still didn't seem to be okay with him. I would say the same about me cause the hatred I had for Adrian for so many years couldn't just go within some days. It would take time for me to be okay with him. "Because they both are needed for t
It looked unreal or something that was just said because for me it could never happen. Sometimes I wondered 'if that's true?' or 'could it occur in real life?' Because I did not believe in love or having someone you would want to spend your whole life with, without any thought of being bored with them; two people being together for their whole life was something I had lost my belief from. But then Andrew came, making me think all of my thoughts were wrong. He showed me how someone could love each other more than themselves when months ago they were just two strangers. He taught me that not everyone was the other's soul mate but every person did have a soulmate, he or she just hadn't found the right one that was why they were alone. When the right time would come the two people, who were right for each other, would meet. One of my old thoughts that changed now was that I thought no one could understand what other person was feeling, tone couldn't describe their emotion. But well
Blink, blink, blink. Rubbing my eyes I stared inside the Cafe, some people gave me a look as to why I was staring at the eatery like that but I ignored them. People do nothing other than make their wrong assumptions and think bad about others. Maybe my husband taught me one nice thing which was to not care about others' thoughts, they might never be able to understand you or your situation. "Wow, I can't believe I'm seeing this," I muttered but then a question formed in my mind. 'Won't that female will know about this? Someone might have already told her about my and Adrian's meet-up. And now these two.' But then there was one more thing, it didn't matter to her. All she wanted was to break down my husband and separate us. That wouldn't be happening but we could act like that. The bell on the door pinged as I entered inside and walked straight for ordering something first. After placing the order I turned back to see the two guys who I wanted to talk to were glancing at me. Ro
Confusing, frustrating, with no end or any idea of where to go. This was all I could say about the situation I was in. Staying away from my husband while having no work to relax me, yeah relax because now that I think by checking files and documents given by Andrew I would always be able to let myself forget about other problems, made my mind full of thoughts about Bonnie, Adrian and what was the truth? The cherry on the top, I had to move around with my face hidden behind a mask or hoodie, why? Cause just some days ago my shoulders were grazed by a bullet and later that day some men tried to kidnap me but thankfully I was able to run away. Didn't know who was behind this or why all this was happening but one thing was clear, which was to not walk around while showing my face. It was better to be like this, hidden in baggy clothes. Ding! The door opened and I exit the elevator, looking straight ahead of me I was opting for the main gate of the hotel when I heard a voice calling
The long hoodie, that reached my thighs, and the baggy trousers were something I was comfortable in. Walking out of the big building with my face covered and some curious glances following me, I sat in the cab. I was busy texting some people who were quite good at getting information that might be hidden and couldn't be ever found. Andrew had made me meet them when he wanted to get some information about one of his soon-to-business partners, whose name I didn't remember. This time I was asking for their help in getting to know about Bonnie. Wanted to get out of my problematic life for a while I came to a park where I felt at peace. The cool breeze and green trees were something that was helping my mind to relax. A sigh escaped my mouth as I closed my eyes, I couldn't sleep for the last two days knowing my husband would be worried about me. Today I switched on my mobile and had above fifty messages and one hundred and three missed calls all from one person, my spouse. "I'm so sorry,
Alyssa Pov (A day before Andrew came back) "Can't you stop huh!? Is it necessary for you to create a problem every day?" Some might think I have lost my mind while others would say I never had one, but I did and everyone has different ways of using it. Right now I couldn't think of anything else but to be here and face that male. "Wow, what a day! Alyssa has come to me without me asking for it. How come I'm blessed with your face today?" Inhaling slowly before exhaling I tried to calm myself. How could he joke and laugh like this? Well, maybe he could cause he never cared about others' feelings. "I'm serious here, what do you get from threatening and joking about things that are precious to others. You got a problem with me, with Andrew, okay, we will face you but why!? Why drag my friend and Michelle in this! He is your father too, for God's sake! Can't you just let him out of this hatred web in which you and my husband are?" I frowned as the male stared at me without a word.
Andrew pov I was happy, a big smile that was spread across my face wouldn't go away even when my cheeks were hurting because of smiling too much. But how couldn't I smile? I was gonna meet my wife, my love, without her one day felt like a month. She laughed yesterday when I was saying pick up lines here and there while talking to her but nothing I said was a joke. She did look hotter than any other day in her night suit. Stopping myself from skipping my way towards the plane, like a happy child who was on his way to the candy shop, I did a handshake from the guy who had helped me from yesterday till now before calmly walking ahead. Even when my inside was anything but calm. ***** Not going to the office for looking after some work that had to be done today, as work can wait, I went home. It was already evening the sky was a mixture of red and orange while the sun was nearly gone. A sigh left my lips as I kept my head on the seat of the car, I remembered how I wasn't even able to
When black clouds had ruled the sky and the small light that was showing the way was being taken away, anyone would be afraid to let that light disappear. A sensible person would be afraid to be lost without the light and the darkness wasn't a good thing to be lost in. But here I was worried about my light and what would happen with it? My husband who had always been the one saving me was going to some other city because of a business meeting and I was hella worried about him, his safety. The conversation I last had with Adrian was making me shitting bricks. "Is it necessary for you to go?" I questioned as he made me sit with him on the couch. "You see it's an important work that had to be done. And even when I don't want to leave you here I can't take you with me because you have to look after some work here. The stepbrother of mine won't let go of a chance like this to create a problem for my company and me." I sighed understanding him while keeping my head on his shoulder as he
