"Is anything the matter?" the old man spoke again his gaze trained on me. I look away quickly At 17 it was hard to hide my naivety. How was I supposed to tell him I was pregnant for his now defunct tenant Andrew. "No Mr. It just feels strange. I was with him yesterday, he never said anything about traveling. And Today you say he lives here no more" My boyfriend Andrew was a New recruite at the Military school close to the Pub where I work. " Yes. I think it was duty. Must have been an Emergency summon.

Andrew watched with no elation while the Peace treaty got signed. 7years fighting a nameless war. He had thought joining the army would give him a sense of worthiness and for the first few years of the war it almost did. Countless number of times He had thought he was going to die.

The past couple of days has been really tough for me. 10days and we still haven't heard a word from Agatha's kidnappers Dan says the Police are working their butts off. Typical Dan.2days ago, the incidence got mentioned on the news but the details were as distorted as possible. Nothing connecting me to the case.I'm not surprised. I am certain 'my husband'had a hand in it. Nothing has changed between us except He let's me cook for him I hear the revving of his car Engine and I rub my hand across the baby doll dress I made myself. My makeup is in full glare. If I am lucky I could get my husband to Notice me. I try to look very sexy for him every chance I get but He does a good Job of making me feel like a ghost. "How are you?" I say just as I let him in. There is a man with him, dressed in black pants and black leather jacket, his face is adorned by pristine sideburns and he has on, dark shades covering his eyes. Yet I know that face.... "Oh my Gush!" That face. "Andrew!" He

chapter 7 - Claire
I was hoping that Andrew would ask me about My son Drew during the drive back home. Anything to assure me He cared a bit about our past relationship, but He didn't. Maybe He already knows I have a child. For him.That's not possible, no man who sees his own son for the first time would remains so nonchalant. We ride in semi-silence, the only sound coming from the car stereo. Pink and Lily allen singing 'True love' There is so much testosterone oozing from the Man beside me and it's driving me nuts. I can't understand how He can act so emotionlessly. Maybe I was truly a stranger to him. 7years and I am not sure I have ever gotten over him. I berate myself and remind myself of all the hurt he made me go through. Just like that, hate begins to coarse through my vain, corroding my brain. I embrace it gladly until I can take it no more. I bring the car to a screeching halt. "I can't play your games no more. I really can't" "Claire?" "This game you are playing with my Dad, my husba

chapter 8- Andrew
Back when Andrew was still in the Army, He was nicknamed the Devil's Son. Everyone reverenced how eager and Fearless he acted. He had volunteered to Join the infantry and join his colleagues in fighting the war despite the fact that he was just few weeks into his recruitment. He was barely a Soldier then. During the war, He was part of a four Man gang who infiltrated the Enemies camp, and the only one to return alive. Andrew was a Soldier through and through. Multiple promotions in few years, each one of those duly earned. Little wonder General ISSA would do anything to prevent him quitting.Yet an assault was made on his life and He couldn't get his hands on the assassin's. It left him reeling and feeling foolish. Still, Andrew was no fool. He knew who the men that came after him were. It wasn't actually hard to figure it out. There were Men from the Bay Palace. Sent by Claire's father to probably intimidate him. General ISSA was right, Lord Bay was a dangerous Man. Dan

chapter 9- Claire
It was almost Midnight when Andrew returned. I couldn't sleep knowing He might be out There where trouble lurks. If my dad truly wants him, once is not the only time He would try. I don't have his cellphone number and I couldn't find my car keys. So I wait alone. The Mayor won't be back until a few days. " Where the hell have you been. It's midnight" I say the moment he shuts the front door "I had to go clear my head" he replies tossing me my key "I needed to make sure you kept indoors" "You had my Keys!" He sure knows how to work my nerves "You are so gonna get into trouble if you keep Wondering aimlessly" "I have an aim" I let him walk past me, His eyes roaming a little too long on my body. I tighten the holds on nighties, doing my best to keep my distance from him. "You ought to be the one watching over me. Not making me worry about you" "It's my believe you would be a good girl" "My dad doesn't like Military people" "Noted" he says yawning"I'm going t
