Contractually Yours Grim
Josiah's Pov I asked a nurse to show me to the nanny's room. She had also been shot but her wounds were not as serious as Sunshine’s. I got word that she was now awake so Katie and I walked to see her.We walked into the room, Katie in front of me.“I am so sorry ma'am. I am so sorry sir”, she started crying the moment she saw us. “Hey”, Katie immediately held her arm.“We know you are. We're not angry at you, we don't blame you for anything”, Katie whispered as her hysterical crying reduced to quiet sobs.“Tell us what happened”, I walked to the foot of her bed.She looked at me and then at Katie who nodded calmly, then she took a deep breath. “Sunshine and I were sitting in the living room before the guests started to arrive”, her head dropped and she looked at her fingers.“Moments later, Jane told me to change her into her birthday clothes on the mistresses orders”, she continued to fumble h
Contractually Yours Help?
Katie's Pov Raindrops rolled down the side of my window as I got up from bed and dragged myself to the bathroom. I picked up my brush, applied some toothpaste and began cleansing my teeth.I looked into the mirror before me as I took the brush around and around my mouth in circular motion. My eyes were puffy and swollen, the skin around them darker than the rest of my face. Under them were large, drooping bags and the eyes themselves had sunken unto their sockets. I stepped into the shower when I was done and washed myself as much as I could. My entire body ached as if I was hit by a moving bus. Tears began rolling down my cheeks as I thought about why I was getting ready. As the rains poured I realised the heavens were mourning just as I was. They mourned the death of my Sunshine.Two maids waited at the door for me as I stepped out of the bathroom. Josiah ordered that they be with me every hour of the day because he didn't trust me not to
Contractually Yours Airport
Katie's Pov The sound of the drapes pulling backwards and the ray of sunshine that peeked through the windows to rest on my face, reminded me I was still alive. And my baby girl was gone. I rubbed my eyes with the back of my palm as rolled to the other side. Josiah wasn't there. I picked up my phone and looked at the time. I sighed, he must have left for work already. I dragged myself out of bed to the bathroom to get ready. I would be riding with Ma and Suri to the airport to catch their flight back home. Ma was not strong enough to travel yet but she insisted she had to be here. She tried to be strong for me during Sunshine’s funeral but I could see it. She was hurt.Suri on the other hand was simply devastated. She cried until her eyes were swollen and wouldn't eat for the first few days. She had always wanted a little sister and just when she had adjusted perfectly into her big sister role, the universe took it away from her.
Contractually Yours Track
Katie's Pov I blinked my eyes as they adjusted to the darkness in the room. I realised I was lying down on a bed as my body began to return to consciousness. I sat up slowly, taking my hands to support my head that was in throbbing pain. “Hello?”, I called out but there was no response.I used my fingers around the bed in search for my phone but didn't find it.“Hello?”, I yelled this time and moments later the door opened.I immediately shielded my eyes from the light as they came on. Blinking slowly, I took my hands away from my eyes to look around me. It was a small room with limited furniture. As my eyes looked around, they rested on a figure that stood by the door. My eyes widened and lungs paused as I realised who it was.“M.. Max?”, I stammered.“Katie”, he whispered as she closed the door behind him.“What the hell is going on?”, I watched as a smile formed on his lips.“I rescu
Contractually Yours Rescue
Josiah's Pov It had been two days since Katie was taken. As the days went by, it killed me that she was still with him and not in my arms. A knock came on the door of my office and the door opened after my instruction. It was Zak. “I found them boss", he announced as he walked in and I immediately sprung to my feet."This is where they are”, he walked up to me, handing me a piece of paper.It looked like a map. It had coordinates and places with a red circle around a particular spot. “This place is just outside the city where she used to live”, I said after a few minutes. “Well what're we waiting for? We know where they are, let's go”, I threw my hands around in frustration. “We can't just bust in, we need a plan”, I wiped sweat off my brows with my palm. He was right. “Do you have a plan in mind?”, I asked him after a moment of silence.“I always have something in mind, boss”, he l
Contractually Yours The Mummy
Katie's Pov My eyes opened to a completely white room. This was not the farmhouse Max held me in, I thought as I looked around. Then It dawned on me, I was in a hospital. There was an empty chair just beside my bed which meant someone had been sitting there. I was still trying to understand what was going on when someone walked into the room. “You're up bunny”, hearing his voice brought tears to my eyes. He finally came for me. “You're here”, I whispered as he came close to me.“How did I end up here?”, I looked around fearing Max was around somewhere.“You don't remember?”, he asked as he sat on the chair beside me.“I don't think so”, I shook my head as I tried to remember. “I came for you. Traced the location down to a farmhouse in the middle of nowhere and attacked at night”, he rubbed his thumb over the back of my hand as he spoke. Slowly, my memory started to flood back in. I remembered a bu
Contractually Yours Ruthless
Katie's Pov It's been three days since Josiah rescued me from the hell house Max held me hostage in. . It's been three days since I woke up in the hospital and today I was finally going home. I was so excited, grinning from ear to ear as the plugs and tubes were pulled out of me. “You ready?”, Josiah leaned on the door frame and looked at me with warm eyes. “You bet”, I displayed the top half of my teeth as I smiled widely.He chuckled lightly as he walked towards me. He held my hand and helped me to my feet. “I can walk by myself you know”, I mumbled when he started leading me out the door.“Of course”, he let go of my hand and we shared a short laugh.We ran into the doctor on our way out and he congratulated me on my full recovery. As we made our way out of the building, memories of all the moments we shared in the hospital flashed through my thoughts. It really has been one hell of a roller-coaster.
Contractually Yours Lighter
Josiah's Pov I sat inside the tinted jeep and watched through the window as Rachel answered the door. My blood boiled as she smiled so casually at the two men I sent to get her. They disguised themselves as men from her cousin, Max sent to pick her up. She disappeared into the house for a moment and returned to the door with a small purse and jacket in her hands. They followed behind her as she walked to the car. How gullible, I thought.Her face grimaced the moment the door opened and she saw me sitting inside. She took one step back and one of my men already had a gun nuzzled into her back.“One more step backwards and he'll shoot”, I said to her with a smile on my face.She let out a small gasp as she hesitantly climbed into the car. The one that held a gun to her sat beside her, while the other sat in the front. Adre barely let the doors close before he took off.“It's nice to see you again Rachel”, I looked out the wi
