Chapter: LostSteph's POV All I remember was going for a run, then the next thing was a black bag over my head. And now I'm waking, both arms tied to a chair and my mouth gagged for reasons I don't understand. I can't recognize any of the voices I was hearing, neither the environment, which was nothing more than a large space with no light. "Ah, look who is finally up. Welcome back. I know you have a lot of questions. Like why you're here and all that. So I'm going to make things a little better and easier for you, alright? You are here because you were involved in something you shouldn't have been into in the first place." "What are you on about? I don't even know who you are, much more be involved in anything that has to do with you," I responded. "So with all due respect, please just let me go and I promise not to tell anyone about this." "Do you really think you can threaten me, or does it look like I care if you tell anyone? I suggest you start talking about everything you

Chapter: SecretsAaron's POV"Listen, sir. We can't be too quick to jump into conclusions. If we are wrong, we would be destroying the life of an innocent young mother, actually, an entire family.""So all I ask is for a little bit of time to get the truth out, my own way. I mean, that was what I was hired for, right?So let me do my job.""If you were doing your job, or if you had done your job properly, we wouldn't be having this conversation. You have a month to figure this out, or we do this our own way.""I... Sir."Before I could even say anything, he hung up.Fuckers, all of them.As I got dressed, ready to leave, I spotted Steph, toes in the pool.I had no idea she was here, and thankfully, there were no signs of rich daddy's money around. That was good. She and I were due for a talk anyways."Steph, do you have a moment, please?""What is this about?"She certainly doesn't trust herself with me alone, or she now sees me as just her mother's husband.The second reason scared me so much that it

Chapter: ContradictionAaron's POV"You promised me you would handle Kim. Things don't look handled because I can see her holding a press conference about our relationship, and as if that is not enough, I just received a summoning to court from her lawyers.Look, if you want our plans to execute as we have agreed, this kind of distraction can't be around. We need to have Kim under control before she says things that can't be undone.""Relax, Aaron. Like I said, Kim won't be a problem for too long. So just focus on your mission. That's all."Speaking about that, she got married to some kid from her high school, so how are we supposed to get her to tell us about anything if I can't get close to her?"Well, that's why we hired you now. It's your job to extract high-level information and not mine. So how you get her to trust you again is all on you. But know one thing: we are definitely running out of time, and certain people are talking. So whatever you are going to do, I suggest you get on with it, and quickl

Chapter: VowsI ran out of the hall, not even looking back. I could hear the crowd gasping and Josh and my family shouting and chasing after me, but I just couldn't. I was so confused and heartbroken, so desperate to do the right thing that it never even occurred to me if I was making a mistake.As I rushed through the crowd of people at the entrance, my only sanctuary was the bathroom, and that was where I was headed.I banged the door shut as I allowed myself to breathe in some air, and I felt my mascara and makeup get all smudged together. This wasn't the life I had wanted. None of this was what I chose. Not this dress, not Josh, and definitely not him.I could hear my mother's voice and Josh's panic, but I couldn't bring myself to open the door. I seriously thought I could go through with the wedding, but I guess not."Honey, please open up so we can talk through this, so we can figure all this out. I know you are scared, okay? Everything is happening so fast, and marriage can be scary. Trust m

Chapter: Wedding BellsIt was finally the day of my wedding. As I stood in front of the mirror, makeup done, I looked at myself, and I could barely recognize who stared back. The past few months had been so traumatizing, and now I stood marrying a man that I didn't even love, all to save myself from my mother's hate and the world's criticisms. This was my only honest shot out of everything, and I intended to go through with it.As I dressed in my gown, it was like I was sealing my fate forever, and the only thought on my mind was him. Even after everything, he was all my heart and head could cling to, not my mother and not anyone else, only him.Right there made me realize something. I was deeply in love and obsessive over Aaron, and it seemed it would always be that way. But life never gives you what you want, more of what you don't think you need. And I, for one, had accepted my fate.As I walked down the aisle by my father's side, I couldn't find him in the crowd. Not even one last glance, nothing. Stand

Chapter: Queen Of HeartsAaron's POVI still couldn't believe it. She was getting married to some kid out of nowhere. This totally destroys my plan; it ruins everything completely.Just how do I get her to stay close?"Well, for starters, you could give something in return, possibly make her feel, you know, you care, which I would believe you don't, right?"That question being thrown to my face was unexpected, but I immediately composed myself before speaking again.Of course, I don't care who she marries, and I will never jeopardize our plans for something as worthless as love. You should know me a little bit better by now."And what about her mother? What do you intend to do to her?"She is good people, but she will be used as part of collateral damage when I'm done. It is a pity, though. I really do care for her. If we had met under different circumstances, then things would certainly be different, but we didn't, so it wouldn't.And one more thing, could you try to handle Kimberly? She is out and about try
