SIXTY

- CAMERON - She walks out. I turn around, backing the door of my bathroom. “I didn’t mean to walk in like that. I wasn’t trying to be disrespectful.” I assure instantly, without daring to turn to look at her. I can feel her presence though. I know she’s staring at me. “It’s okay Cameron, I know. I trust you.” Her words make my breath hitch. She trusts me? She doesn’t even know me. I attempt to turn before it hit me. “Sorry.” I say. She might be naked. Again. A giggle leaves her lips. “It’s fine, Cameron, I have a towel around my chest.” Oh. Is she fine with me staring at her when she’s like that? “I’m going to turn around.” “Be my guest.” She hums. I steadily turn, taking my time on purpose. The moment I faced her, my gaze meets her playful smirk. I can tell it’s a taunt. My face flattens. “What? Scared to see a little tittie?” She tsks, rolling her eyes. I can’t believe for a second that I chose to be decent. I return her smirk with a half grin. “Be careful what

SIXTY ONE

- ISOBEL -"Come on, tell me! I'm dying to knoww!!" Nina urges, tugging at my arm. I kick her away with a careful push of my leg. "Ow." She mumbles as her body brushes backwards on her bed."Nothing happened, nothing much apparently." I say, leaning my jaw on my hand as I stare out the window. I love looking out the window wherever I'm at, especially from Nina's room. It reminds me of the life I wanted to live. Back then, all those years, it was all but a yearn, now, I remember I can actually live it and be free."Pfft! That's not possible. That's never going to happen. You're like a crazed, starving dog when horny. And you are ALWAYS horny, Isobel. Ever since we met."I spare Nina a side gaze at her words, looking at her all judgementally. Well, she's not wrong. I've just decided to take a more, what's the word?, calm approach to things instead of diving right at it. Cameron has taught me patience. I never thought I'd learn it this way in all my years of living but I guess one man ho

SIXTY TWO

- CAMERON -“It’s been confirmed. Your concern is true, Cameron. You have every reason to be cautious than usual.” The Lawyer says to me. I’m sat comfortably on a chair facing his desk in his private office hidden behind his private chambers, that being his room. My elbow leans in the arm of the chair and my fingers support my head leaning on it, while tapping gently on my forehead. I’m not surprised. That man was following me. I am highly relieved that it has nothing to do with Emily but this is certainly something to worry about. I can’t have someone on my tail when I am trying to ignore a life I was once deeply entangled to. One I dived back into the moment a dumbass in a club dared to lay his hands on Isobel. I let out a sigh.“Can he be killed?” I ask coolly. Apparently, killing someone is the fastest way to get rid of them, but if I execute this being without finding out who he is and who he works for, how sure would I be that the person he’s under won’t send more people after

SIXTY THREE

- ISOBEL -It's odd.I open the large fridge and grab onto some chopped vegetables which I put into my trolley.Everything is odd.I keep walking down that same aisle and stop in front of the frozen fries section. My hands grab onto two bags of chips after pulling the refrigerator door open then I make my way to the other aisle for frozen food.I'm under no diet. I don't even exercise and how I have the body and weight that I do amazes me but I guess I'm glad one of those people who eat as much as they like regardless of the calories but never add weight.Or maybe I just was under a lot of stress and pressure and suffering that whenever I ate, my food went into those things, keeping me at the right amount of lean, it could be, who knows? I pull open the refrigerator door and take a bunch of minced meat and chicken thighs and wings.Being outdoors without a crippling fear of getting home late or home at all is an odd yet nice feeling. It's something I could get used to. It's something

SIXTY FOUR

- CAMERON - I stuck by her side because it seemed that someone was following her. And I stood true. Normally, my hunch would’ve been directed at the fact that I was present in the supermarket coincidentally at the same hour but when I stopped back to look at her, I noticed she was being watched. The Lawyer was proven true to his words. I cannot and will not abandon this woman now. Not when her safety is at risk because of me. “That’s my ride.” I say the moment I get to my car. I unlock my car and open the boot to load my items in. Isobel just stood and watched. Did she come here alone? Does she have someone waiting for her? Did she bring a car? I don’t know and I surely don’t know if it’ll be rude to ask but part of me desperately wishes she’s alone and car-less. Just so I can take her home. And know where she lives. I’m dying to know. Not only would it give me an upper hand to allocating her with the best protection, but I get to. . ., to put it decently. . ., stalk her

SIXTY FIVE

- ISOBEL -“Just what will you do without me?” Nina asks with a smug expression on her face. She has this overly confident and satisfied smile along with a brow raised as she asked this as a matter of factly.I tsk playfully. “You chose this job the moment you volunteered to be this lady’s bff.” I say, getting in the passenger seat with my shopping bag. “Volunteered? More like I didn’t have a choice.” Nina utters, her voice sultry but with the right amount of energy. Oh honey, you did, with my insane stepbrother on the loose? You could’ve run away from me but you didn’t. Having you stick by me despite the odds is one of my biggest flexes and I doubt you’re even aware. And I won’t be the one saying it though. Before her head explodes with ecstasy, with love on my part of course. I buckle my seat belt then place my shopping bag on my thighs. After this, I pull the door gently to a close. Nina and I are practically sister-neighbours. We do live far away yet our visitation to our houses

SIXTY SIX

- ISOBEL - “You know, when I imagined you living alone, I definitely didn’t expect a place this huge.” Nina calls from my living room. We just got home, my home at least. “What can I say? I love my space and comfort.” I reply, marinating the chicken. I’ve made a sauce with the vegetables. All I got to do now is mix it with some rice and we’d have a nicely cooked meal. This should not take more than a few minutes, half an hour if I want to be kind of exact. “Yeah, I sure can see that.” I hear a thud like something weighty falling on a soft surface and I assume she just humped on my sofa. We’ve been here for quite a while. Not too long ago but long ago for me to start preparing something to eat. I enjoy having good food. It’s the least I can give this healthy body of mine. I walk to the gas cooker and take the pot lead off, dipping a tester spoon into the pot to have a taste of what I’m cooking. Yup, I’ve still got it! This is nicely spiced. I return the on the pot to cover it

SIXTY SEVEN

- NINA -My heart begins to pound in my chest as I run out of her home.That text. . . I could read it. I could understand it. It's a language I know far too well to miss the meaning. Which is why I'm even more concerned. There's no way Isobel would comprehend what it means nor try to. That's what makes it even more alarming.Someone is keeping a good eye on her and she doesn't even know it. I hurry into my car, getting sat inside comfortably, putting on my seat belt then turning it on. It's not long till I hit the road.I wonder if the person keeping an eye on her knows I'm linked to her in some kind of way because there is no other possible explanation to define this insanity. Was that message meant for someone who is well versed in languages to denote? Was it a purposely false tail? I can't tell.Part of me wants to subject this to my father but he's well aware of the bond I share with Isobel and he permits such bond. So he's out of my suspect list. I step hard on the throttle, my

SIXTY EIGHT

- ISOBEL -I don't know where we're going. I'm dressed fancily in my living room, waiting for my Uber.Part of me would've loved to be picked up, there's this thrill derived from making someone wait for you while patiently taking your time getting ready. I can't describe it but it is fascinating. A half smile forms on my face as I stare across the room. Everything is pitch black. Not even a single light is turned on in here and I prefer it this way.Just me in a fancy dress with my fancy purse sitting on my living room sofa. I rest my head backwards and close my eyes. I missed this. Getting dolled up. . . Having someone anticipate my arrival. . . Going on dates. I missed living like a girl. A very pretty and seductive one.I ding catches my attention. I don't need to ponder to know what it is. It's my phone. My driver must be here already. I guess it's time to go and have the night of my life. I push back up the sofa first before lifting my body up. I hope I'm not over dressed. The la

SIXTY NINE

- ISOBEL - Jazz. How did he know I love jazz? Sometime long ago, as a little girl, all I could think about was playing or singing in a jazz club. I considered it rich and fancy. I considered it a punctual poetry. Not that I ever got the chance to try to even live up to it, my life has never been that lively to explore things, yet here I am, a grown adult getting accustomed to doing some of the things she loved without having to request for it. This may sound basic to a lot of people, but to me, it means everything. “A jazz club? Who would’ve thought the charming Cameron Su Li would take a lady to a jazz club?” I flirt, sipping in some of my non alcoholic cocktail, while at a hotel bar. Don’t ask, we just wanted to get tastier drinks and this was the nearest hotel to get one so here we are. Cameron leans closer to me to say something. “I can take a lady anywhere if she’d let me. All she has to do it say one word.” His voice is soothing. It’s deep. I swear I was listening to
