Oh shit! Your thoughts, hmm? I'm looking forward to reading your comments ( ˘ ³˘)♥
OLIVER Her bodyguards were missing at the scene too and her phone, we retrieved it from one of the cops. I sat in my car blood boiling as I gripped my phone hard, watching Victor and the detective talking next to what was left of my car. The image refused to leave my head even as I closed my eyes to try and concentrate. Think, Oliver. After getting off the phone with my grandfather, I've never felt so lost and so confused. Besides that feeling plaguing my mind, my body trembled as I imagined what she could possibly be going through right now. Who was it? Who would put their hands on her? “Stop yelling, boy,” My grandfather sneered into the phone when I barked at him to release her or else I'd burn the company to the ground. “You wouldn't dare go against what has fed you and kept you going for years-” “Try me. If you don't release her alive,” I emphasised. “In the next ten minutes-” “She could be dead in under ten minutes, whoever has her must have a bone to pick with you,” he
OLIVER “I’m coming with,” Theo protested, asking for the address once I put down the call. I hadn't even said a word yet he read me like a page on the news. “No,” I wasn't going to risk her life by bringing a fucking cop around. Didn't he have some bloody sense to think that through? “I know someone just called you concerning-” “Then you'd know you can't bring a fucking cop unless you want her brains on the menu,” I snapped, feeling a lot older now having spelled that out. This was who she wanted to replace me with? Besides his good looking face– which I topped and dominated anyways– his biker fit and his American accent, there was nothing special about this man. As a reply, he crossed over to the other side and got into my car, making himself comfortable. “I'll keep my head down if I have to and pose as one of your bodyguards. I'm not letting you go all by yourself.” “I don't need a babysitter-” “It's not for you, dummy,” he took out his weapon and checked his bullets, prepari
OLIVER I glanced at Rebecca, my blood boiling from how dishevelled she looked. Her eyes were weak and she looked like she was barely hanging on. Every single one of them wasn't going to get away with this. "Shit! What the fuck are you talking about?" Victor asked, clearly pissed and impatient. He hated riddles as much as I did but I'm shocked he didn't grasp that as fast as I did. "You know what I mean," Mr. West said again, his tone teasing this time. He had noticed my discomfort already and he too glanced at Rebecca. "Yes, of course I understand it's top secret," he waved off to the one who wheeled her in and he started to take her out again- "No, she stays," I demanded. This was a bad idea on so many levels but I couldn't let her out of my sight again. "What did they do to her?" I heard Theo's whisper of horror and he took a step closer, which of course, earned him raised guns in his direction. "Why don't we discuss it in private?" I took a deep breath to remain in control and
OLIVER He suddenly erupted in laughter, jolting the men behind him as they jerked out of their shock. The greed on their faces was immediately wiped off but they glanced around considering the offer. “You're just like the old man,” he wiped his tears off his eyes. “Buy these men for that price? Don't be ridiculous, Oliver. That's a waste of good money. They'd wag to anything and I'm already their saviour.” I dug my hands in my pants as I shrugged, “Well it was worth a short. The cheque has already been signed and written. All that's left is to be cashed. Grandfather wouldn't care who it's given to-” “Nice try, Oliver but these ones pledge their loyalty to me. Even a dog knows not to bite its owner,” he waved off in a scornful tone. “Are you sure about that?” I took a step closer, noticing how they flinched and aimed their weapons again, causing me to stop. A smirk pulled at his lips and he grinned at me, “Now shall we talk about what you're planning? I don't know the full detail
OLIVERThe place was swarming with the press in a few minutes but luckily, an ambulance arrived and I watched as Theo lifted her up and carried her into the vehicle. Her gaze glided over me, lingering for a while before she disappeared into the vehicle and the doors closed."We need to leave," Victor said, rubbing his jaw as he flexed it like it was broken. "Oliver…"My thoughts were hazy as I watched the ambulance drive off. I should be there with her. Fuck! That should have been me."Oliver, we need to leave now. The press are everywhere!""Follow that ambulance, Victor, now!" I stormed into the car with him hot on my heels, slamming the door shut and leaning back on the couch with a tired sigh.My body still shook from all the tension and pent up panic. The fact that she wasn't by my side even after everything was already over did a number on my mind.We pulled over at the hospital where she was carried in and the detective followed after her. I remained in my car, watching with my
REBECCA As sweet as his words were, melting my heart like butter and filling me up with butterflies, I knew I couldn't fall into it. He sounded sincere as he begged, pleading unashamedly for me to go home with him. At that moment he was a vulnerable man seeking my acceptance but I've long been fooled that I didn't think I wanted to play the part again. I shook my head as a frown furrowed on my brows and whispered, “No, no.” He was only telling me what I wanted to hear, he knew how to manipulate his way into my head and my heart again and it hurt that I was already falling for it. I was softening and opening up, I hated how weak I was around him. I already got myself into a lot of mess and almost died. One wrong move, one fleeting moment of anger and frustration from them and they could've killed me. I was at the mercy of their deal, of their mood and my life felt like an insignificant thing in the hands of powerful men. What did he have to give up to set me for or what did he ha
OLIVERI shut the door on my way out, glaring at the detective who didn't back down in his glare."Wipe the blood off your face," he said coldly but he was in no position to tell me what to do.I couldn't believe I was kicked out thanks to him. Why would she even send me out with him?He looked totally different from her usual speck- me. I've been her kind of guy for three years, the longest she has ever been with anyone.Ever since I assumed the role of CEO, I had kept tabs of Rebecca. I knew everyone in her department, her friends, all her part-time jobs, the deadbeat boys she dated- fuck! She was a completely different person with me than she was with them.She said it many times that this was a first for her– what she felt for me and how she acted.“I should lock you up for almost having me killed,” he spat in disgust.Well, I wouldn't say the thought didn't cross my mind. “Wanted to test out that badge, detective-”He growled with his eyes blazing in annoyance, “You almost had me
TRIGGER WARNING; KIDNAPPING, VIOLENCE, CONFINEMENT, DRUGS AND EMOTIONAL DISTRESSREBECCAI rubbed my temples after they exited the room. The air was still tense from their overwhelming presence and attitude that made a war pool at my stomach.They could tear at each other if they wanted to but certainly not in here where I was almost being swallowed up by guilt just from having both of em in the same room.I froze when I heard a commotion outside and my heart raced as I imagined the worst. Oh shit! I should've just had them sit quietly where I could see them.What have I done? I winced as I pulled out the IV drip from my hand and jogged to the door, but when I pulled it open, I almost bumped into a doctor.“We should get you to another room,” he said through his face mask, blue eyes look down at me. I stepped back as I suddenly felt so small and a weird eerie feeling ran down my spine.“What's going on?”“You were placed under me and while I'm supposed to ask you a few questions regar
