Chapter: The EndAUTHOR'S POV “Kill her, Malone!” Ken thundered when the boy stiffened.“No!” Hannah shook her head vigorously as Malone lifted the gun to Vera’s face. “He is trying to destroy you, Malone.”“You can't pull the trigger on our mother. Can't you…” “Don't fucking tell me what to do! Our mother you say? Hey, grab a cloth and clean your mouth!” Malone's roar reverberated in Vera's ears and made Tim wash down the rest of his sentence with his saliva. She stood and watched, speechless, as she knew that they were all trapped and Ken had never played fair games.“Stop this madness, Prince Kenneth. Are you willing to turn your son into a monster like yourself? Are you ready to live proudly with yourself after doing this?” She demanded, shaking her head in disgust.“Your petty tricks won't work on me. Have you forgotten who I am? You thought it was easy for me to be locked up? I have people! And I can still buy more people with my money! There's nothing like justice because the system is rotte

Chapter: Chapter 91VERA'S POV It started raining heavily that evening as we drove home. Jack and Nathan went to search for Malone, but he was still not found until it was too dark for us to keep waiting for them in the graveyard. By the time we were headed home, a police report had already been made in case it got out of hand. I do not know how to describe the pain that I felt. I could say that it was deafening because Hannah was speaking to me, but her voice was an added noise to my rumbling ears.From the very moment she announced Malone's disappearance, I had felt nauseous, and a persistent pain rose below my stomach, so I folded myself in the backseat, and my jaw dropped to my knees. Hannah was sitting beside me, trying to soothe me and also not wake up her sleeping child. Timothy sat quietly in Jessica's lap in the front seat, their sad eyes monitoring me through the mirror.When Max pulled the car into the driveway of my home, I had to blink countless times to focus my eyes and carefully come dow

Chapter: Chapter 90VERA'S POV It was a cool evening when she was laid to rest. I stood numbly beside her grave, not in any way understanding how I felt about her death. She might not have been the best mother, but she was still someone who would say bless you when you sneeze beside her. How she was able to watch me suffer at the hands of her boyfriend has always made me doubt that I was her daughter, but I still didn't wish for her life to end so soon.We were good and have been trying to become friends. At least, she cared so much about Jessica even though she was more distant than ever. She hadn't shown any sign of sickness and wasn't the type of person that would commit suicide. But then, she died in a peaceful way and place. According to Jessica, she slept beside her and didn't wake up the next morning. Thanks to Jack who helped us make up. But I expected more from her. One would think she would not only ask for forgiveness but also mend her ways. She should have tried to make up for lost time and

Don't walk out on me when I'm still talking to you!” Vera's eyes were a set of fury as she glared at her son's turned back.They had rushed together to the police station after Jack disclosed Max's news to both her and Maureen. Sensing how frantic she looked, Maureen had offered her support to go with them and try to calm her down while Jack drove them there. Having no energy to explain to people how she is Monica's twin sister and not his wife's ghost, he told her to go and not worry about them. She wished them luck and watched them drive away.They arrived at the police station early before Malone was sent to the detention cell.Jack took care of speaking to the Police Chief and getting some paperwork done with the young recruited police officer, Harry, who had helped in solving their recent incident with Vera's stalker and Ken's arrest. Afterward, he was allowed to take Malone home. While they were in the car, Vera tried to speak to the boy,

Chapter: Chapter 88JACK'S POV I felt Vera shiver beside me and I turned my head slowly to look at her frenzied face. When I turned to Maureen again, she was already standing and blowing smoke into the air. “What do you mean? I met Monica first, she was the one I have always known. I have never even heard about you. I used to visit her Dom room and her roommate was a man, gay to be precise.” My forehead wrinkled in deep thought as I traveled through the memory lane.“We met at our school parking lot. You tried to park your white pickup truck and it crashed into my black BMW. You came about apologizing and promised insistently to fix it, but I ignored you and punctured your tires because I had a bad day.” Maureen turned to face us, backing the glass window now and her lips curved in a wistful smile.“And I said to you, ‘We are even now, so no hard feelings’ and we looked at each other and started laughing. We had both cars towed to the nearest repair shop and waited for them to be fixed over pizza and i

Chapter: Chapter 87VERA'S POV I let Jack hold my hand as he led us into the clubhouse. I have heard about the place, popular among the local folks. I watched with disgust, hating how jealousy ate deep into my skull when a random masked lady walked up to Jack and called his name. When I came Downtown, I heard a lot of gossip about the clubs, the top hotels, and the sex workers, but nobody told me that they were rude and aggressive. Or am I just putting too much meaning into the fact that a bitch is trying to get the attention of a man that is holding his woman? She wants to rub it on my face that he knows her, period!“Jackson Taylor, I believe you still remember me. I didn't expect to see you here again.” She continued, lifting her thin mask off her face to reveal a pretty oval face.“I'm here strictly for business. Excuse me.” He gently pushed her aside and sidestepped into an enclosed booth by the far end of the rowdy room, dragging me gently behind him.“You shouldn't treat her like that. She was b

Chapter: Chapter 59"Hi," Molly said, chewing on her lower lip nervously.Sophia looked at her very best friend. The only person who always tells her the truth even if it's going to cost their relationship. That one friend who has remained faithful and loyal to her since they were kids.Others had said she was like that because of the money and the fact that Sophia seemed like a canopy of protection to her, but Sophia knows that Molly wouldn't always get on her nerves by telling her what to do and what not to do even when she knows how much she hates to hear it if that was her reason.She knows that Molly values their friendship more than anything else, and she doesn't ever get offended no matter how she treats her, but hates her being rude to others much more than to her.Molly is the only person who her parents had approved of their friendship because her mother knows she's a good influence on her and she's as bright as her in terms of study and smartness.She never forgot this friend even when she was

Chapter: Chapter 58"There's no progress even after putting the two of them on the same bed? Doctor, you know better, I hope there's nothing fatal about her injury?"

"I think this guy is still alive!" One of the soldiers said, checking Justin's pulse.Fred carried Sophia and ordered the soldiers to bring Justin too to his car because he's impatient about waiting for the ambulance."Take the woman and the other three people with you to the police station for questioning!"

Chapter: Chapter 55"You are free to ask me anything. You are an adult too, being nineteen is not a joke and you will soon be done with your final exams and walk your way to college.""Oh, stop! There's still a month and two weeks more before I turn nineteen. You are right though, I feel sad that Sophia won't be with us during this final exams. She bragged so much about the things she would do at college, now she's not here." Mrs. Bryan shook her head sadly and hugged her daughter passionately. "She was such a darling even when she was arrogant to the outside world. I remember the first time I met her, it was…""Unpleasant!" Molly completed for her, laughing. "It was so for me too, and she isn't someone who easily says sorry, but behind that raised chin and fearless eyes is a weak girl struggling to get away from her haunting demons.""Yep! It's a pity she… I hate to talk about what happened to that poor girl. I wonder where she is and if she's doing well. Less I forget, you wanted to ask me something.

Chapter: Chapter 54Mr. Smith woke up and looked around his environment in surprise. When the face of Flying dragon registered in his eyes, he sat up immediately and looked curiously at him."Thank goodness you are awake! I was afraid I wouldn't be able to keep my promise to you. How do you feel now sir?!!" He asked his boss worriedly."How did you bring me here? Where's Charlotte and Justin? She must be shocked to see you bring me here without notice. Anyway, you have done well, this is the only place in the whole world where I am safe now." Mr. Smith shook his head."Well, she was, but I think she got a call from someone and it seems Justin is in the hands of whoever the person was, so she left after telling me what to do. I feel they are dangerous but I know your safety is most important now." Flying dragon replied."Justin is in danger? If that's true, we need to go out there and look for them. I can't let anything happen to that boy, he's the only prize I have got in all these years." He said, forci
