Twenty seven: Second Time?
The only thing that sounded in this store was the sizzling sound of the old air conditioner. Everything else was boring. If Tyler hadn't shown his true colors, he would probably be the one to make this place cheerful. Also, my boss was a cheerful person, but she wasn't around tonight.
Exhausted, I knocked my forehead against the counter, sighed. For goodness' sake, I didn't know why I still worked here. Well, I guessed it was because of the partial high pay. It didn't matter if it was boring. At least, it was only for a while.
After a bit of hesitation, I took my phone from the pocket of my sweater. Yeah, my baggy sweater. Particularly, I was hesitant to take it, because my intention was to read Roy's text. I couldn't believe I was falling for his texts, but yes, his very frustrating-annoying-cute texts were slowly sinking into my senses. For a moment, I would think, “Is it really a big deal to give him a second chance?&rdq

I widened my eyes, tense as well. "How did it happen?" I finally spoke, after a while of being silent.She kept weeping hard. "I don't even know. Her boss, and the police just arrived at my place. Can you please come over?""Sure, sure," I replied to her."I'm so worried," she added.I hung up the call, turned to Kath. "Kath, I've got to leave. Tell your dad something came up.""Is there a problem?" She asked.I nodded. "Yes, Renee's gone missing.""Oh, really?" I could tell she was faking some concern. Renee was the last person Kath would be worried about, so there was no doubt Kath didn't care so much about Renee being missing."I'll leave now. Tell your dad I wish him a happy birthday," I added before turning around to take my leave. Kath had attempted to speak further, but of co

He took a step close, turned around to shut the door behind him. He didn't just shut it, he locked it. Ensuring it was completely locked, he focused back on me.I gulped. "Tyler? Y-You have…"I couldn't speak properly. It felt like a nightmare. He had said he liked me, but not for once had I thought he would go as far as kidnapping me. The night he had kissed me, I had seen desire running in his eyes, but I hadn't sensed an obsession.He put his hands into the pocket of his sweatpants, smirked even harder. "See, when I want something, I don't like being played around with.""You're insane?" I narrowed my eyes at him, overly shocked.He shrugged. "Let's not call it “insane”. I'll say I'm drunk with love. Love for you.""Hey!" I threw my hands up. Why did I have a feeling he was playing a prank on me? "Dude, are you nuts? Lo
Chasing Her Thirty: Apology
My head hurt a lot. It seemed as if there was a rock on it. Heavy rock. Slowly, I raised my hand to hold the pain on my head. I was tired and weak. What was going on?Opening my eyes, the ray of light that passed through the window made me squint. Moving my gaze to my body, I noticed a blanket was around me. And, woah, what?! I was in a sleep shirt. A different cloth. Who could have possibly changed my clothes?"What exactly is wrong with them?" Hearing that voice, I flinched, and sat up straight. Oh, shit, it was Roy. He was walking into the room with a doctor.Doctor? Why a doctor? I didn't need a doctor!Soon, they reached me. Roy was intense in speaking with the old man. He didn't even glimpse at me. Could he be angry because he had seen me with Tyler last night? Silly. How could he be angry because of that? And wait, why did I even care about him being angry? I was the one who
Chasing Her Thirty one: Doomed?
ScottThe document in front of me was as stupid as frustrating. All its content seemed like a framed work. Who in the world could have typed something this gibberish?"Gregory!" I barked. Throwing my head back, tapping my feet against the hard marble floor, drumming my fingers against the glass table in front of me, I glared, impatiently waiting for the idiot to come into my study room."Sir." One of my guys, Gary, hurried in, bowed his head. "Gregory isn't around. He said he had to go on an errand you had sent him to do."I twitched one of my eyebrows, being furious. "Errand? Which errand are you speaking of?"I don't know about that, sir. That's what he told me before he left," he replied."You all are irresponsible!" I yelled, and slapped my palm against the table. "Just leave here, moron. You work for me, but you don't e

I was furious. Of all the things I hated, betrayal was what I hated most. Yes, I had betrayed some people in the past, but that was only for a game. Whoever I had betrayed in the past, wasn't so relevant in my life. But that wasn't the same case here.I had been taking care of Greg since he was eighteen. Since the last twelve years, he had been with me. I ensured he studied at a good university, I employed him at my office, he was my highest paid worker. So what in the world could have made him do this?"You idiot!" I hurried to him. Overwhelmed with anger, I grabbed the collar of his shirt, hit him hard across the face. "You wanna get me doomed? After all I've done for you?"Non-stop, I keep hitting him. He deserved to be dealt with. I didn't care to know who he had been talking with on the phone, or the reason he was doing this. All I just wanted to do was to hit him to death. He was the last person I expected to
Chasing Her Thirty three: Truth
This place was as silent as a graveyard. The only things that could be heard were the sound of crickets, owls and bats. The air was a mixture of oxygen, the stench of cigarettes and alcohol. Coming to a place like this was very, very risky. But, I was pretty sure if I hadn't come here, dad would kill Gregory.I parked my car in front of one of the old houses, hopped out. A bit fearful, I headed to my destination. I knew this was the only place dad would send his men to beat up anyone, so that was the reason I had decided to come here.The alcohol content in the air seemed to be surpassing the oxygen. My lungs felt choked, begging me to leave here as soon as possible. Sometimes, I would wonder why the government didn't restrict people from coming here. Anyone could easily get murdered in such a place.I ignored the offensive odour. Reaching the house I was heading to, just a few feets away, I heard groan
Chasing Her Thirty four: Perfect
Renee______In thirty minutes, Roy would come here to pick me up. And like damn, I couldn't wait for him to get here. Every woman in love would understand what it meant to always want to have their man beside them. It was like taking a tour in the clouds.I kept my jaw in my palm as I propped my elbow on the counter. A small, warm smile crawled to my lips, and I shut my eyes, inhaled hard, enjoying the serenity around me.Yes, I was exhausted, but I didn't want it to be obvious. Roy had said I shouldn't work any longer, but of course, that wasn't going to be possible. Well, I kind of moved into his house. He had said I didn't have to worry about feeding or any other costs, but as a stubborn person I was, I wasn't willing to listen to him yet.For some reason, mom wasn't so comfortable with me having to stay at his place. I didn't know why, b
Chasing Her Thirty five: Deal
Renee______I squeezed my face, so confused. Roy was kind of crazy sometimes. How could he have ordered this much food? Just because I was pregnant, didn't mean I was now some kind of foodie. I was definitely still going to eat the same way I always ate.I scratched my head like I was confused. Oh, yeah, I was confused. Could he have ordered this for a guest? Was he expecting someone? And where the heck was he?I yawned. Last night, for some reason, I was unable to have enough sleep. As far as I knew, pregnant women always slept a lot, but that was completely different for me. I hardly slept very well. I guessed it was because I was kind of used to staying up late at night"Hey, princess?" I yelped when I heard his voice.With a little frown, I snapped my neck around. "Come on. You don't want me to have a heart att
