Dangerous Heartbeats 88 - The Evidence
♡ Skylar ♡"Skylar," I heard Alfred's voice. I looked up just as he pushed open the door and rushed into the head teacher's office. He cupped my cheeks immediately, his eyes filled with worry."Are you okay?"Was I? I was freaking out internally. I mean, who wouldn't? My only child was abducted. If I were the one, I'd be scared to death, not to talk of a five-year-old. I wonder how scared she'd be right now. The thought alone made my heart squeeze. I had cried but wiped it off immediately. Crying was going to solve nothing. In fact, I have had enough of this shit already. First, it was shooting Hannah, and now abducting my daughter?"It was Ethan who took her,"His jaw clenched as he let go of me. "That bastard has gone too far,"I turned around just as he turned to the principal. "How could you let a pupil leave with someone without the parent's approval?!""I apologize, Mr Miller. We had no idea because he used to come with Ms DeNovo on some occasions, " the head teacher replied.
Dangerous Heartbeats 89 - Final showdown
♡ Skylar ♡I stopped my car in the compound and pulled out my phone. I opened Samantha's new text."Ethan is not with Aurora. You can go in now. Be careful and use the taser if things get out of hand but hopefully, it doesn't. He has cameras everywhere so don't talk to anyone on the phone on your way in"I exhaled and stared at the taser peeking out from my pants pocket before pushing it back in properly.Our plan was for me to go in, and meet Ethan while Sam distracts the men guarding Aurora, saves her, and leaves. Immediately Sam escapes, she takes Aurora to Alfred, who is with the police, and the Police come in to take Ethan. Some officers had been deployed to Mr Jun's office also. It was a good plan. But one mistake and everything could go wrong.I put my phone in my pocket and got out of the car. As soon as I stepped out, a guy walked up to me. He looked at me carefully as if studying my features. "I'm here for Ethan" He raised a finger on the receiver in his ear and muttered
Dangerous Heartbeats 90 - The beginning of the end
A week later **♡ Skylar ♡"With all the evidence presented in court today, I hereby confirm Ethan Jun and Elias Jun guilty as charged and hence sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labor"The judge hit the gavel on the table and got on his feet."Court arise."We all got on our feet, and I watched in relief as the policemen whisked them away. I didn't feel bad for Ethan at all. He didn't show remorse when he tried to kill me, so why should I? It felt great to finally get justice for all they did to me. Not just for me and my mom but for every other person whose life has been ruined by them. Mom turned to me as she pulled me for a tight hug."I'm proud of you, Skylar,""I'm glad you never gave up, not even once," she added. As she pulled away, she held both my hands, a smile on her face."Now, forget all that happened in the past and live your life the way you should have. Don't hold back anymore. "I nodded. I felt tears escape from my eyes. But this time, they weren't because I w
Dangerous Heartbeats 1 - Valerie McCoy
♡ Valerie ♡I dragged my feet on the tiled floor as I walked across the room into my bathroom. My reflection stared back at me blankly as I glanced into the mirror. Blue eyes swollen from constant crying, and dark circles underneath my eyes from lack of sleep. My long brown hair was held in a messy bun. In short, I looked like the opposite of myself. I mean, I couldn't blame myself.Ever since Mom died in the fire accident at her workplace, I have been the opposite of myself. How could I live well when the only family I had left was gone, leaving me alone in this cruel world?The doorbell ringing pulled me out of my intense stare at the mirror as my eyes darted to the door.Was the landlord here to send me out? Could my life get any worse than it already is?I ran my fingers through my hair. Muttering a short, hopeful prayer that it wasn't the landlord at the door, I made my way out of the bathroom.I wrapped my hands around the handle and yanked it open. A wide, surprised smile made
Dangerous Heartbeats 2 - Skylar De Novo
Five Years Later...New York, Manhattan, LDN Corp.♡ Skylar ♡Standing by the glass wall that gave a beautiful view of Manhattan, a smirk formed on my lips.It was finally the day. The day I had been waiting for and working my ass off for. The day the whole world will see the face behind the fast-rising LDN Corp.The sound of the door opening made me turn around, and my eyes fell on the little girl running toward me.A smile broke out on my face as I stooped and scooped her into my arms, earning a giggle from her."Sweetheart, where's Hannah?" I asked, dropping her to stand back on her own.She had a mischievous smile on her lips and her blue eyes stared back at the door as if expecting someone to walk in."She's on her way."I raised a brow at her."What-""How can a five-year-old run this fast?" A familiar voice cut me off, and I looked towards the door to see Hannah walking in. She shut the door after her.I immediately understood the mischievous smile she had on earlier, and I gla
Dangerous Heartbeats 3 - Blue eyes
### The next day... ★ Miller Groups ♡ Alfred ♡ Seated on the swivel chair in my office, my brows snapped together while I typed away on my laptop, my free hand running through my hair continuously. The screen suddenly went blank, and a string of profanities escaped my lips. Seriously?! I'm getting tired of this sh*t. I looked up from the blank screen, and my eyes met with the door. At that instant, it swung open, and someone walked in. A particular black-eyed dude that frustrates me. "Have you seen it?" Xander asked, his eyes lit up with something I couldn't quite pinpoint. "Seen what?" I rolled my eyes, flexing my fingers. "Skylar De Novo's reveal, damn, it's trending at number one." I scoffed, leaning back on the chair as I stole a glance at the still blank screen. Of course, this was what she wanted. The whole attention to be on her, but she was no match for Miller Groups. She was no match for me. "She's one hell of a pretty lady, though," Xander commented, and I looke
Dangerous Heartbeats 4 - Mr Handsome
♡ Skylar ♡"Rora?!" I called. She didn't reply, so I turned to look at her.I sighed, seeing that she was no longer standing beside me.Hannah placed the black gown back on the rack and looked at me."She must have left while we were arguing."I rubbed my temples tiredly.Gosh, I can't deal with this girl always running off when we are at the mall."I'll go check for her before she gets herself injured like the last time," I said to Hannah, who just nodded in reply, and I walked away.I started with the children's section, but she wasn't there. As I moved past the racks, my eyes suddenly fell on Aurora, but she wasn't alone. She was talking to someone. I walked up to them immediately."What in the world do you think you're doing?" I snapped at the guy, and Aurora turned to me just at the same time he did.Immediately our eyes met, I froze. Literally. My breathing hitched as his blue eyes bore into mine like he was trying to read something.Those striking blue eyes I'd always recognize,
Dangerous Heartbeats 5 - C'est la Vie
♡ Skylar ♡ Ethan and Hannah turned at once to look at Alfred before they turned back to me."Is that Alfred Miller, or are my eyes just seeing wrong?" Ethan asked the obvious.Who else would it be except the asshole? I wanted to retort, but I decided against it."Also, why is she calling him Mr. Handsome? Is there something you guys are not telling me?" he added.I ran my hands through my hair in frustration."I'll be right back," I mumbled and got on my feet, heading to their table, which was just two tables away from ours."We meet again, Ms. De Novo," Alfred called, his eyes twinkling in amusement as I stopped by their table.I clenched my fists inwardly, new-found anger bubbling inside of me, even though I tried my best not to show it. All that was on my mind was to tug at Catherine's hair and yank it until her scalp felt sore and do something much worse to Alfred, and I did just that.I grabbed Catherine's hair angrily, tugging it hard, just like she had done five years ago."Yo
