Intruder

DESTINYRonan called me repeatedly, but I didn’t answer. Eventually, after the fifth call, I accepted the call.“Why do you keep calling, Ronan?” I know, I know, he helped me, and I was being ungrateful.“Well thank God! I was just about to go over there. Fucking answer your damn phone. I thought something happened to you.” He sounded concerned. At least someone was.“Sorry. I just didn’t feel like speaking to anyone. My father-in-law just left.” I know it didn’t seem like much of an explanation, but Lord Barrington had riled me up.“Oh… you could have at least just sent me a message, Destiny.”I sighed and rolled my eyes at his hurt sounding tone. “I suppose. Thank you for your concern though. Maybe you shouldn’t be. I’m fine.” My head still hurt, and I had trouble remembering some things. But I guess that was to be expected, I banged my head damn hard.A short pause followed. “You know how I feel about you.”“If you start that again I’m going to end the conversation. What do you wan

Home James

JAMESI haven’t felt this crappy since the bachelors. Pain meds and booze–deadly combination. I was still a bit drunk and fucking angry.That’s why I decided to go home. The genuine dilemma was, should I confront Destiny with the photos, or should I just wait and let my investigator do a little snooping?I wanted to stew on it for a while. My fucking head was killing me. I didn’t know what hurt more: my balls, my head, or my heart. Never expected this of her, my sweet naïve Sugar.You were a complete idiot, James Barrington, to allow yourself to be duped by a pretty face and a stunning body. Again.“Mr. Barrington, we’re here.” The driver stopped at my gate.The latter was left wide open. Which was unusual. I tried closing it with the remote control and it didn’t close. That was the first thing I noticed. The second was Ronan’s black Audi in my driveway. That set my blood ablaze.Motioning the driver on through, I checked my Rolex. Barely eight thirty a.m. What the fuck was Ronan doin

Stranger Danger

DESTINYJames had been acting strangely ever since his return. Secretive. Lately, he seemed distant and guarded, unwilling to open up to me. Despite my attempts to get him to tell me what was lying so heavily on his mind, he would just change the subject.I couldn’t help but feel hurt that he didn’t trust me enough to share what's going on. Every little thing he did seems to be cloaked in mystery: walking away when he's on the phone, refusing my help to unpack his things, and even not wanting me to shower with him like we usually did.Part of me believed that he's simply feeling self-conscious following his operation, but the other part worried that something much deeper was going on. Could it be that he might have seen the photos of Ronan and me on social media?Surely, he would have said something, though.It is frustrating that he’s making excuses to keep me at arm's length, not even letting me drive him to his doctor's appointment.Okay, not that I blame him for that. I’ve wrecked

Gone

JAMESI would have gone home sooner from the doctors, but Charlie called me to meet up with him at a local pub.“Not much to go on, Jimmy. Nothing about her movements that looks suspicious. Except for this one time.”“Spit it out, Charlie.” I was anxious to get home to Destiny. She was alone, and I hadn’t gotten a reply from the security company.Charlie took a swig from the pint I paid for. “Yeah, she went to a construction site where she met up with a strange bloke. Took his photo.” He gave me the photograph of the man. “She gave him something in an envelope and then left.”I looked at the photo, but it was unclear. The man had a cap drawn over his eyes so that it obscured his features. Was this payment for tampering with Destiny’s car’s brakes? This wasn’t solid proof, though.“Can you find out who this man is, Charlie?” I wasn’t about to leave anything to chance. If Jenna had anything to do with the accident or the break in, I wanted hard evidence.“Sure, I’ll see what I can find

Ransom

DESTINYThe man left me there, bound and gagged and lying helplessly on the dirty mattress. It was dark and cold. The rain had left me drenched to the bone, and the combination of cold, pain, and shock had me shivering uncontrollably.Time passed by at a snail’s pace while I lay there in the dark, too afraid to move. James would have been home by now. Was he looking for me? Did he even know I was missing?What was the guy’s plan with me? He said it depended on my husband. That would mean he wanted money. But I had seen his face and I’ve watched too many kidnapping movies. He wouldn’t want to leave a witness that could identify him. Oh, my God… he was going to kill me for sure!No, I wasn’t going down without a fight! I had to escape. I rubbed my face against the dirty mattress to get the filthy gag out of my mouth. It was nauseating. The mattress smelled like sour milk, making my stomach heave.It worked. Coughing and spitting a few times to get that awful taste out of my mouth.“Help

Someone Hates You

DESTINY It was morning. The pale sunlight shone in my eyes from the windows above. I must have dozed off a few times. My body was stiff and sore all over from being in the same position for so long. At least it was light enough to familiarize myself with my surroundings.How long before the man came back? My stomach grumbled loudly. The sandwich I ate last night was long since forgotten, and I was starving. What I wouldn’t give for a cup of coffee, from our coffee maker at home. I missed James so much I wanted to cry. He must be going out of his mind by now.Would he have called the police? The man, Smith, or whatever his name was, would have probably warned him not to. Wasn’t that what they always did in these situations?Out of desperation, I struggled against the cuffs, and the chair moved slightly. Of course, the office chair still had its wheels, and I could move it. Why didn’t I think of it before?I had to use all my strength to move it, as it had accumulated a lot of dust and

Finding Destiny

JAMES Mr. Smythe, the bank manager, met us in his office hours before the bank officially opened.“You have to understand, James, that this is an impossible amount. The bank does not have that kind of collateral lying about.”“Of course, Mr. Smythe. I know how it works. But this is a matter of life and death!” For fuck’s sake! Why can’t he arrange the rest with the other banks? I held onto my sanity by a thread.“Have you spoken to the police? Who is blackmailing you? We have a special unit…”“Charles, please.” Father held up his hand. “We can’t get the police involved. My daughter-in-law has been taken. Whoever this person is will not hesitate to hurt her.”“The FBI…”“He will kill her!” I slammed my hand on his desk, leaning forward, getting into his personal space. He had to understand that this was serious.Mr. Smythe leaned back in his chair to run a hand through his thinning hair. “But why in cash? It’s such a huge amount. Surely, they can’t expect…”“Unless they know we won’t

Saved

DESTINYThe man was gone for what seemed an eternity, and I wished he would disappear from the face of the earth. Just leave me here, forget about me. Someone would eventually find me. But, of course, he came back.My bladder was fit to burst and upon seeing him, the need became more urgent. “I… I need the bathroom.”He rolled his eyes at me. But he bent down to cut my ankles loose. I considered kicking him in the face, but quickly changed my mind because he held the box cutter up to my face.“Don’t be a hero, Missus. I wouldn’t like to cut you.” He hauled me to my feet, shoving me toward the bathroom.“Are you going to let me go?” I hated the squeakiness in my voice.His response was curt. “Shut up and do your business. We have to move.”***Outside, the icy wind whipped against my body, and I shivered uncontrollably. More from fear than from cold. Smith opened the van’s back door and unceremoniously dumped me inside. I landed on my shoulder with a grunt. With a sudden sharp pain and

Jealous Lover

JAMESShock, disbelief, anger. Those were only some emotions running rampart through my brain. The others I couldn’t even name. Pregnant! By whom?When I looked at Destiny, I could see her lips moving, but I couldn’t hear a fucking thing. I thought I was having a stroke.“But that’s impossible!” I heard her say when my brain finally caught up with the rest of my body.Fucking right!“Oh, I assure you, the test is accurate.” The doctor still smiled like he didn’t destroy my life with that one word.She cheated. She must have. Unless it is a fucking miracle, some immaculate conception. My balls clenched at the thought. Ronan fucking Walsh! He was about to die.“James?” Destiny reached for me, but I gave her a look that turned her to stone.Finally, the idiot doctor caught on. “Umm… I’ll give you two some privacy.” And he high-tailed it out of the room, closing the door behind him.I stared at the white paper on the bedside table. It lay there in all innocence, the clueless harbinger of

Mother

DESTINYThe nurse gave me a mild sedative, which didn’t really help, because I was too angry. Angry, confused, disappointed, heartbroken. I read the report thrice to let the reality sink in. Pregnant. The look on James’ face… He didn’t believe that he was the only man I slept with. I know we’ve only known each other for a couple of months, but really? Did he think that little of me to believe that I would cheat on him?I don’t know how it happened. But he should be happy, shouldn’t he? Only he wasn’t. He said he saw the photos. I could kick myself. It was stupid not to have told him about it. Now I’ve gone and made it worse. Spoiling his friendship with Ronan, precisely what I didn’t want to happen.Not that Ronan, with his idiotic infatuation with me, is making it any easier. If James knew about it, he would flip his lid completely.But I don’t know if I want to go back home. I didn’t want to face an angry and accusatory James. And I certainly wouldn’t want to spend one more night a
