"You should leave this town Reed. These Bowman's are dangerous. They will not care how many lives are destroyed because of them. They just take what they want and leave the people to suffer by the consequences of their doings" Joe advised his new employee. Reed looked at the concern-marred face of the otherwise jovial man. "Don't worry about me. I can take care of myself" he assured Joe. But the old man has seen so much in all these years he has been living here, he is not so sure about it. "I know you are capable of taking care of yourself. I am not telling you this to scare you. But you need to leave this place, son. Samuel Bowman is very bad, his daughter is as bad as he is. He will not leave you alone. Stella Bowman will do anything just to prove that she can" Joe cautioned softly. Reed froze for a moment when Joe called him son. 'Faster dad, come faster ' 'Son, I can't. Let's slow down a little ' 'Reed, your dad is becoming old. He cannot run as fast as you can ' Bits and
"Call Marcus" Samuel ordered his assistant. Samuel's assistant tried to reach Marcus Douglas. He is the man who is whispered to have connections with the mafia. So no one will dare to look at him in the wrong way. That's why Samuel maintained a friendly rapport with the Douglas family and even encouraged his daughter to befriend Dave. The assistants call got connected. "Hello" someone who is not Marcus answered the call from the other end. "Hello, I am speaking from the Bowman Mansion. Mr Bowman wanted to have a word with Mr Douglas " the assistant said politely. There is a brief pause from the other end. "Boss is currently unavailable. I don't know when he will be back" the person on the other end spoke. Samuels assistant frowned. He took a brief look in the direction of his boss's office where the government officials found the hidden cash and papers. "This is rather urgent. Can you please tell me how to contact Mr Douglas?" he requested. The other man hesitated a little.
Reed is watching how Samuel is suffering. He remembered how he was thrown out of his home and how vulnerable he was. A young boy who just lost his parents and his home. How much he cried for help and how he begged everyone whom he know for help. But no one came for him. He was forced to pick food from the trash can when he didn't have anything to eat or no place to go. It was after fifteen days when Luca Vitiello found him in an alley. Weak and lost. Reed tried not to remember those fifteen days. That was the time when he learned that there is no right or wrong in this world. Everyone lives by their own rules and would do anything to survive. That is when he changed. He saw the bad and ugly. There is nothing in this world which is white or black. Everyone skirts near the grey area and very few venture into the black, like him. He doesn't have guilt or empathy. He lost them when no one showed him mercy when he was suffering. That was the time his heart and emotions died a slow painf
That night, the clock has stuck at 12 o clock, but still, there is no sign of Reed. He left immediately after dinner claiming that he will be back soon. That was at 8 o clock. But now even after four hours, he is not back yet. Mia is worried. She tossed and turned in the bed but she couldn't fall asleep. She knows that Reed is hurting. The news of Bowman on the streets is not a surprise to her. Reed came here specifically for that purpose. The lengths to which he has gone to plan this entire thing is telling her everything she should know, that this is personal. Samuel Bowman has done something to Reed to deserve this. So she is worried about Reed and what must be going on in his mind. She picked up her phone and called Reed, but he didn't answer the call. 'Where are you, Reed? Why are you not back yet?' She wondered worriedly. Once she heard her brother Nero confessing to their father that Reed is in a typical mood. This kind of thing is his usual behaviour. He will get back to
"No, Reed" Mia saw a man jumping from the cliff in the darkness. She recognised the truck and she is sure it was Reed who jumped. "Oh my god, Reed" she cried with anguish. Her heart threatened to break into pieces. She know-how steep the fall is and no one would survive that fall, not even Reed. She ran towards the edge of the cliff while remembering the moments she spent with him. Tears of grief began to slide down her cheeks. The thought that she might never see his face again made her cry harder. That's the moment she realised that he became a part of her life and he is irreplacable. "Reed" she cried when she realised that she lost him forever. Unable to imagine a life without him she jumped down to be with him. She did not see the water underneath, but the pain of losing him made her blind to everything but the loss of the man she began to like. Reed is waddling to the shore when a loud splash from behind made him pause. He turned in the water and saw someone struggling in
"Do you want to go back to the ranch?" Reed asked after swimming to the shore. They both are dripping wet and it's a little cold. But despite the initial scare of watching Reed jump off the cliff, Mia found this place quite peaceful. She was preoccupied when she came here and thus couldn't admire the view. But now, even though she is feeling cold, she wants to stay here for a while longer. "No, I want to stay here for a little longer. Look at the sky. It's so beautiful filled with stars" she admired her surroundings. When Mia is busy admiring her surroundings, Reed has his eyes only on her. "Alright, I will carry you back to the truck. I have my sweatshirt in there. You can get out of those wet clothes and wear that sweatshirt for the time being" he said. She nodded with a grin. Reed carried her back to the top of the cliff just as he promised. It took them forty-five minutes to go to the place where he parked his truck. By the time they reached the top, she is shivering. "Go, ge
"Reed" she reprimanded him without much heat in her voice. She is not angry at his remark, looking at how he knows about these things. That night is not memorable, but still, she is blushing. She knows she was turned on that night, which is shocking and embarrassing. She did not have much experience in these things even though she dated a few men before getting engaged with Alesso. The fact that she is so comfortable with Reed is speaking volumes about their bond. "What? You asked me. No one knows these details about you but me" he said from behind her palm, making her go deep red. "You are shameless" she muttered and tried to pull away from him, but he didn't let her. Instead he flipped her and now she is lying underneath him with her hands pulled over her head. He is hovering over her, making sure to balance his weight on one of his elbow. "No, i told you what you asked for. No one knows these things about you but me. Isn't it princess?" he whispered while nuzzling her neck. He
Mia is preoccupied with what happened that morning. She is helping Jane in the kitchen. But she couldn't keep her mind from drifting towards Reed and what they did that morning. She knows that she is not supposed to get involved with him like this when Alesso is still in the picture. This is wrong and dirty. But the thought that it is forbidden is what makes it so appealing. And the fact that it's Reed who opened the doors to another world called pleasure added to that appeal. The moment he touches her, her body comes to life. His sinful whispers and his touch is tempting. No woman can ignore his touch or his appeal, and she is not immune either. They share a sinfully strong chemistry that she never experienced with anyone, not even Alesso. She begged for her release shamelessly, the thought which made her cheeks turn pink. She doesn't care if it is wrong, but she is craving more. Now that she knows how good his hands and mouth feel, she wants more. She was a good girl and was loya
One year later ... "Mia, why does the baby keeps crying?" Reed called out for his wife. He is panicked and he is not understanding how to console the hysterical little munchkin. Mia walked out of the kitchen and looked at the father-daughter duo. Their daughter is three months old. Reed was by her side throughout her pregnancy. He was more worried about her during her labor than she was. After their daughter is born, he is adamant to take care of her all on his own. But sadly he tends to panic if she starts crying. "Aww. Looks like our baby is hungry" she cooed and gently took the baby from Reed. She sat comfortably on the couch and began feeding her. Just then, the doorbell rings. "I will attend the door" Reed volunteered. When he opened the door, he saw his mother-in-law along with Chloe and their baby. "Hello Reed" Emma greeted him with a warm motherly smile. "Hello Mom" he leaned in and kissed her cheeks. In this one year, he began to like Emma very much. She treats him ju
Luca's mansion on the Island is buzzing with festivities. Everyone is busy with something or another thing. As the wedding day is almost upon them, the beach behind the mansion is being decorated like a new bride. The wedding decor that Emma and the others liked is being raised at a faster pace on the water near the beach. In the meanwhile, on the day before the wedding, the entire family and friends are laughing and spent a gala time during the rehearsal dinner. Everyone is happy. On the day of the wedding, Mia got ready in the wedding dress Reed specifically selected for her. "You look so beautiful, baby girl" Luca kissed her head with love. Emma wiped away her happy tears. "Now you both are ruining my makeup. Let's go, Reed is waiting for us on the Altar" Emma said with motherly love. She wiped her tears and subtly adjusted her makeup. "You don't need makeup. You always look beautiful" Luca praised his wife. Mia giggled when her mother blushed. "Looks like you both should
"No, how about this one," Chloe said pointing at one of the wedding dresses in the designer store.But Mia shook her head. She did not find anything to her liking. They have been sitting in the store for over an hour now. The store designer is showing dress after dress, but Mia did not like anything. Each dress is unique and stylish, but Mia did not find the one she feels perfect. "I feel like I might not find the perfect dress," Mia told her mom feeling sad.Emma smiled at her daughter's concern."Don't worry dear. There are many stores out there and so many other designers. If you have something in mind, we can ask the designer to make it for you" she assured."But mom, we only have one week. How can it be possible to make a dress so fast?" she shared her concern.But before Emma could reply, Reed, Alesso, and Nero strolled inside the store laughing and Joking. When Mia saw the three of them together, she became really happy. She was worried that their friendship might be strained
In Texas, After Roland flees, Sabrina is feeling confused. She doesn't know how to feel about her situation. She married the man she is in love with, but at the same time, her marriage strained her relationship with her parents. She would have preferred to stay with her parents rather than marry Marcus and make them feel like she betrayed their trust. "Here, eat this" Blade brought some food for her to eat. She looked at him blankly and didn't make any move to accept the food. He sighed heavily and placed the plate in front of her. "I don't understand women. You love my boss. Now you married him. But still, why the hell are you upset?" he asked, really confused and curious to find out what she is thinking. Sabrina pushed the plate away. "I love him, but I never wanted to go against my parents and marry him. His father insulted my parents in the worst way possible. And me? I married Marcus and lost their trust. Marcus only thought about himself. If he would have thought about me
In NY, the screams of pain echoed around the walls of the torture chamber. Reed, Nero, and Alesso took turns torturing Victor. The biker has touched their family, which made this personal. "Please, let me go" Victor begged for the hundredth time. But his plea is ignored. He is not innocent and he doesn't deserve mercy. He is bloody all over. Now he lacks all of his fingers and he has been cut open in various parts of his body."Kill me" Victor is now begging for death. He is in so much pain, that he passed out several times. But Reed made Nash inject Adrenaline injections into Victor, which forced him to stay awake."Killing you means showing mercy. If the roles are reversed, you wouldn't have shown us any mercy. You wanted to kill us all. Your death would teach everyone out there who wanted to go against us, that they shouldn't even dream about it" Alesso sneered and slashed Victor's forearm, effectively cutting a nerve.Blood gushed out of his wound, making Victor even paler. "Ahh
On the Island "Mia, I think this decor will suit you both" Emma pointed at a wedding decor from the brochure the wedding planner brought for them. Mia peeked into the brochure and their eyes sparkled with excitement. The decor her mother is showing has an altar made with upside-down flower baskets with a ceiling made of red roses, tulips, and white lotus flowers. There is a pathway in the middle which is set for the bride to walk down towards the altar, on either side of which are seating arrangements made for the guests. What is more beautiful is this, it is all made of water."Wow mom, it's so beautiful" Mia gushed. Chloe looked at the decor when she noticed how much Mia is impressed."Oh dear, this is perfect. He is like the unpredictable waves in the ocean and you are the peaceful and calm floating altar on the top. It describes you both perfectly" she said, obviously impressed by her mother-in-law's choice."Mom, you are the best" Mia hugged her mother lovingly."Looks like my w
In Texas, Marcus is in a bad mood. He is fuming with anger. His fight with Sabrina just hours after their marriage made him feel irritated and frustrated about the mess his father started. "Blade" he called for his underboss loudly. Blade rushed inside his boss's office with a hint of fear. Marcus's bad mood is like a ticking time bomb. Blade became a scapegoat more times than he would like to. "Boss, you called me?" he asked hesitantly. Marcus rubbed his temples tiredly. It was almost 12.30 in the night and Sabrina refused to come out of that room and eat anything. On top of that, her words from earlier are stinging his heart like sharp barbs. 'I never wanted to marry you ' He doesn't know if she spoke them out of anger or if she never wanted to marry him. If the second case is true, then her declaration of love for a few days doesn't make any sense. But now it's too late to mull over the what-ifs. All he could do is win her over. He decided to start that by punishing his fathe
In NY, Victor is trying to escape from the hospital before anyone could find out that he is gone. He easily reached the ground floor undetected. But he had this nagging feeling that something is wrong. Everything is too easy. He easily came this far without being stopped by anyone. What made him suspicious is that the corridors, stairs cases, and elevators are all empty. It is the middle of the night, but he should have stumbled upon someone in this huge multistorey hospital. When he reached the ground floor and began searching for the fire exit to escape, he found something black and familiar lying on the floor. "A gun? Here? Did someone lose it?" he wondered with a frown. Nonetheless, he picked up the gun and checked if it is loaded or not. "Am I truly lucky or is this something I should worry about?" he murmured to himself. But he needs this gun to protect himself. So he hid that gun under his hospital gown. He proceeded farther but stopped short when he heard someone approa
In NY, Victor gained back his conscience. As his senses began to take in his surroundings, he remembered where he was and what happened the last time he tried to escape. He sat up with a start and winced when his bruised body protested. 'No, i cannot stay here any longer. I need to escape before one of these nurses comes and finds out that i am awake ' he thought as fear began to creep down his spine and make him jittery and desperate. Slowly Victor pulled all the pipes and wires that are attached to his body. It took him a couple of seconds to get a hold of himself after his feet touched the cold hospital floor and his legs bore the weight of his body. Slowly he crept outside his room, after making sure that no one is around. But what he doesn't know is that everything is planned and they are allowing him to escape so that he can be killed soon. The nurse who sedated him and who is also working for Reed dialed Nash's number. "It's done. He is coming out from the back door now
