ONE HUNDRED & ELEVEN

He was covered in sweat and his heart was beating wildly. He concentrated on calming himself down while wondering where he was. The room was white, too bright if anyone asked him. The beeping noise from beside the bed was too loud and he turned his head towards it, ready to turn whatever it was off but froze when he realized he was in a hospital. Why? They'd gone out to the park and Emilia had been freaked out about something so they'd left in a hurry. Then... His mother had called. Sitting up, he pushed aside the covers, ripping off the needle in his arm. The action caused the machine to beep louder and then a nurse was rushing into his room. "Sir, how are you feeling?" "How did I get here?" he asked instead "Do you feel any discomfort? Does your chest hurt?" "Where are my things? I need my phone" "Sir, if you would..." "My phone, where is it? And my mother?" The nurse sighed "I'll go get the doctor" she left. He knew he was making things hard for her by not answering

ONE HUNDRED & TWELVE

"Have you seen Max?" Silence "I'm talking to you Mel. Have you seen Max?" "Why do you expect me to answer your questions even after I've made my feelings about you crystal clear?" She rolled her eyes. Give that old witch some power and she'd turn the entire Carter household upside down "You know that bitch isn't going to come back. Right? Sooner or later you're going to have to respect me. Because eventually, I will be the one beside Max and not her. I am the next Mrs Carter" "Move aside Lisandra, I don't have the time to stand here and indulge you in your silly delusions" "Just you wait, Mel. Once he marries me, I will kick you out of this house in a flash. Just you wait" Snickering, Mel pushed her aside saying "For Max to marry you, he has to divorce Emilia first. Do you think you'll have a chance once he sees her again?" Lisandra curled her hands into fists. How she hated that woman. They'd never gotten along ever since the first time they met. It's not something that bothere

ONE HUNDRED & THIRTEEN

"Hey girlfriend, mind if I join you?" someone asked interrupting her. She looked up to see Daisy, a kiss ass who's loyalty was fleeting. She was always on the lookout for new friends every day. Anyone who could help her with anything was her friend. Once she was done though, she didn't look back. "Fuck off" Lisandra spat out. "Oh come on, you can't be grumpy forever. Sooner or later you have to let go of your petty grudge and make a few friends" "Friends? Now that I have someone powerful protecting me you want to be friends?" she got up, having already lost her appetite "Let's keep living the way we have for the past two years. I don't want any trouble" "Feeling high and mighty already?" Daisy asked sneering. "No, I don't feel high and mighty. I've always been high and mighty Daisy. So do yourself a favor and fuck off or I'll get them to put you in solitary for a week. Yeah, bitch, I can do that now" flipping her hair behind her back, she left. Heading back to her cell. The

ONE HUNDRED & FOURTEEN

"You're really good at this. Are you sure you've never handled guns before?" "I've never been interested in anything that wasn't girly. I only learned how to drive because Max forced me to" "Really? I wouldn't have guessed. If you ever need a change in career, come see me, Gwen" She snorted in that ladylike way she always did and the sound did what it normally did. Slid all the way down to his groin. Lately, it was getting harder and harder to keep a clear head whenever he was near her. TC realized that it was easier to ignore the attraction between them when they were in different countries. Now that they were living in the same house, spending most of the days together, he found that he couldn't keep his feelings in check. His skills weren't helping either. He'd already memorized all her facial expressions, and her behavior whenever she was nervous, anxious, happy, or angry. He picked up on little things about her that normal people wouldn't and it was slowly driving him mad. Th

ONE HUNDRED & FIFTEEN

TC spun around and went after her. He got to the door in time to see her disappearing down the corner. She must have memorized the way there because her gait had a purpose as if she knew where she was going. Shaking his head he followed her, easily catching up to her thanks to his long legs. She took another corner making him smile because he knew where she was going. Apparently, she really had a good memory if she remembered that bar. Although she might change her mind after she saw the condition of the place. "Give me a whiskey or a scotch or something stronger," she told the bartender who gave her a once-over. That earned him a retort "What? You think I can't handle it?" "No ma'am. I'm actually thinking why a beautiful lady like you would need a drink this early" "That would be my fault" he stepped in, partly to warn off the bartender and partly to make his presence known. He wasn't about to let the men in that place think they even had a chance with her. "He's also paying

ONE HUNDRED & SIXTEEN

Max had been acting weird ever since he came back. For three weeks Emilia had watched him and if she didn't know him, she'd think he was having an affair. He snuck around whenever his phone rang, was jumpy every time she approached him, and even avoided having long conversations as if he was scared he'd give something away accidentally. He was acting like a guilty person and she wanted to bang his head against a wall. She was also fed up with his behavior and was ready to confront him. Whatever it is he was hiding, he'd better come out with it or she would kick his ass. The appearance of that man at the park had put her on edge. She couldn't worry about him and her husband too. Although to be honest, she was worse than Max. Turning on her security cameras hadn't helped her anxiety in any way. She jumped when the door banged or when the motion sensors detected unusual movements outside. Mostly it was just Doug who liked creeping in to avoid Max's sour mood. She'd asked him to always a

ONE HUNDRED & SEVENTEEN

Fucking hell Em, how many times do I have to..." he tried to move closer to her and but she held up her hand, stopping him. "No. Don't. I've told you my secret and now it's time to tell me yours. We're not going anywhere until you tell me what you're hiding" "God you're stubborn. I suppose I don't have a choice right? It's either I tell you or I'll end up in the guest room?" "No, Mel is using the guest room. You'll remain right where you are Max. On the couch" "Damn Emilia, that's cold," he told her but the corner of his mouth had lifted into a smirk. They knew each other so well. "Start talking then" "Well, it's a long story. I don't know where to start" "How about from the beginning?" "Mmmm remember that time when TC was here? He had actually come to..." "Emilia, I'm sorry for interrupting you but I think you should see this" Mel came in carrying a bouquet of flowers in one hand and Gaby in the other. Both of them had been splitting up chores. After finding out Lisandra ha

ONE HUNDRED & EIGHTEEN

Max was busy shoving clothes into a bag while barking orders at the mayor. He might have said a few things that were out of line but Lisandra's escape had riled him to the point where he didn't care who he was talking to or what the consequences for disrespect would be. They had been negligent. How could a person walk out of that place as if it was a hotel? She was the only one who'd escaped and she hadn't broken out. There was nothing that indicated she'd broken out, which meant someone had let her out. He'd asked when she left, the mayor told him it had to be around a shift change among the guards at midnight. Where was the CCTV when she was leaving? It had been tampered with by a hacker who put the images on a loop. "Then what is the work of the fucking guards? And all those metal doors? If she could leave as she pleased, what was the use of all those bars?" he'd roared. "I'm sorry Mr. Carter, I've put every available police to work. They will find her soon and put her back in p

ONE HUNDRED & NINETEEN

Okay, he hadn't seen that coming. And as much as he loved that side of her, she was scaring the hell out of him. If he didn't know her, he'd say she had lost it. How could she be prepared to die? Telling him only one of them would make it out alive meant she was ready to die if it meant stopping Lisandra for good. He couldn't lose her. Clearing his throat to get rid of the lump that had lodged itself there, he said, "It won't come to that. I won't let it come to that" "When is your flight?" "Trust me, Emilia. I will handle Lisandra" "Have you finished packing" He sighed "Yes. I'll wait for Calvin to get here before I leave" "Okay. I'll get you something to eat" This time when she spun around, he didn't try to stop her. She'd told him her plans and nothing he said would persuade her otherwise. She was brave. As a matter of fact, he didn't know anyone who was as resilient as she was. She had the ability to bounce back from the setbacks life threw at her. He'd loved how hard

ONE HUNDRED & TWENTY

"It looks like I had underestimated Mr. Carter," the woman said grabbing the remote and switching off the TV. They had been watching the press conference and Lisandra couldn't answer her because she was too shocked to even come up with a coherent sentence. Max had put a price on her head. Five fucking million dollars. He'd give all that money to anyone who told him her whereabouts. Even for her, that was a lot of money. He'd told her he could use his money to make her life miserable but she hadn't believed it until that moment. How dare he? And all that for Emilia? That fucking witch had ruined her life. This wasn't how it was supposed to be. In her head, at that moment, she was supposed to be vacationing somewhere with him, celebrating their fourth or fifth anniversary. They would be in a five-star hotel on either a tropical island or abroad, someplace cool and romantic. Since she couldn't have children, they would be discussing about adopting one. She had even imagined them visitin
