71. Detective
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

TRIGGER WARNING; CONFINEMENT, DRUGS AND EMOTIONAL DISTRESS REBECCA I was shoved into the boot of a car, hands bound behind my back and a duct tape firmly over my lips. I screamed weakly in my throat but only the smirk on their faces greeted me before they slammed the door shut. No. God, no! Help me. Anyone. I stared into the dark stuffy place, the stifling and thick air as I pumped my lungs so fast almost choked me. Calm down, Rebecca. Calm down. The place was tight and smelled like car grease with the strong smell of fuel. My heart raced at the thought of suffocating here to death. My head was still hazy and the panic had weakened my limbs. I could barely see anything, not even a small passage of light and it terrified me. This means there was no air. First, I needed to mange the air I had left. I searched my jambled thoughts for anything distracting but I only broke down in a choking sob. My heart was thudding in my ears, I was panicking again, faster this time. Nothing s

REBECCA I opened my eyes to beeping sound of a machine. My limbs felt heavy as I tried to touch my head but I gave up. The white ceiling felt peaceful just staring back at me and the familiar hospital smell brought tears to my eyes. I turned my neck left and right. I was back in the hospital but this room looked nothing like the previous one. Judging by the luxury of the room, I could already guess who found me. The door suddenly opened and I held his gaze. Shock dominated his features before he stepped in and shut the door, his eyes turning soft and kind. I scanned his face, black eyes and bruises on his jaw. He looked like he was-- "Yeah, I know. I look like I slammed into a tree," he chuckled and stood next to my head. "Yes," I whispered, almost regretting it when my dry throat clawed against each other. I choked and he jumped into action, grabbing a jug somewhere and pouring me a glass of water. "Shit," Theo put the cup away and helped me sit, arranging the pillows for me t

REBECCAIt was afternoon when Oliver entered. Theo had helped me with breakfast and asked a few questions about the kidnapper."Did he say anything? Did they mention anyone?""No," I responded without so much thought. "They just said they would dump me in the ocean if they had the chance." I left out Oliver's grandfather. That was a conversation only Oliver and I should talk about. I knew I was being a fool but I wanted to look him in the eye and tell him straight to his face.I boiled with anger when he walked in, shocked to see him in a new suit all set for work.He really did stop by his office, didn't he? Even with me in this position, he…"I'll be outside if you need me," Theo said before stepping out, but not without the two sharing a glaring look and throwing their faces away like they couldn't stand each other.I suddenly noticed the cuts around Oliver's lip and one of his eyes looked a bit darker than the other."Are you wearing makeup?"He glanced at me, stared for a while
Read more79. I'm not losing you
REBECCA I was stunned by his words and that serious look in his eyes. His emotions were laid bare before me now and he was no longer the cold, heartless man he tried to be when he walked in here. I don't recall ever seeing him so afraid. I used to believe nothing could affect his perfect mask but ever since I mentioned leaving him, I've seen sides of Oliver I never thought existed. The question was 'why?' Why would he look so affected by me? I knew he cared about me-- well I liked to think that he did. Before the news of his engagement, I was easily fooled into believing he cared about me. With his sudden display right now, I was at a loss for words and in a dilemma with my emotions but that didn't stop the tight throbbing of my heart and the ache in my chest. I was already reacting, frowning as I pushed his chest in an uncontrollable burst of anger. He let go, staggering back. That was too easy so I did it again and again and this time, he didn't budge. I kept up with it till m

"If you wanna go then I'll be so lonely. If you're leaving, baby, let me down slowly"~ Alec Benjamin OLIVER I grew up without the warmth of a family nor the love of anyone around me. The nuns were too busy keeping us in check to actually love us and treat us like a big family. Over twenty children in a run-down orphanage. We were lucky to still be able to eat a three-square meal even though the portions were nothing more than three spoons full. That's why the night I ran away and got hit by Mr. Edward Wright's car, I was prepared to die. At least then, some other kid would have my portion of food and it would be a little less burdening for the nuns. I didn't know the meaning of love until I was adopted and the Wright couple did their best to make me open up. It still felt surreal to me. I had nice clothes, good food-- anything I wished to eat would immediately be provided. But what the adults felt for me was empathy and sympathy, yet they were kind and interested in me as a human
