Suzzie's POV
My first suggestion to my foster father was why do I need to be Tyler's caregiver when I could just wait for the right time, pick up my rifle and gun Tyler Skyler down in the pool of his blood without anyone knowing who exactly was behind his death? Hadn't he done likewise to the only family I had ever known and loved? Father had explained that he as well needed authentic answers as to why his older brother was killed. And to get such answers, one needed to be wise about it. That sounded reasonable - and never would you stop to wonder if I have ever had ill feelings towards Tyler. His dark gaze was arrogant, which of course would do nothing but only try to prove subsidized power. To me, he was a dead man - still alive by a trick of luck. I was taken and used to the methods of stripping identities to fit my agenda, of which I knew that I would definitely have my revenge. The thought of not having to see dad, mum including Lolia, my younger sister wrenched my heart to pieces. Tyler Skyler had taken something dear to me, of which I would have him remember and never forget. I will get into his family, make him see me as someone worthy of his affections while I begin to plot my scheme. Something pricked inside my chest as I stopped myself short, hugged myself and started towards the house. I shouldn't forget why I was here. I heard a loud, clattering crash followed by a thud. My feet quickened and I raced towards Tyler's room. My gaze fell on the stamped envelope under my feet once the door opened, then it shifted towards the polished darkened room. Dark colours? Why would this preferably be his taste? Gradually, my eyes adjusted to the atmosphere and it shifted to the door that led to the bathroom - the wheelchair was close to the door while Tyler's hands were graped around it. How had he landed to the floor? I mused pushing my feet to go close to him. "Get out!" He yelled. I froze momentarily. He didn't want me close, but would that deter me? He possibly wasn't in the best position to see me, but he was struggling probably to get back on his chair. Fuck it, I mouthed. "Don't you dare come any closer!" His gaze poked at me. Ignoring that, I came close. His trousers were loosened down to his thighs, revealing his designer briefs. He fumed, throwing a shove at me to nudge me away. I dodged, threw a quick glance at the interior part of the toilet. Was he about to poo on himself? I choked on my laughter. Don't you dare? I cautioned myself. It wouldn't be proper laughing at the poor man. But he got himself in this mess, why couldn't he call me? Was he truly embarrassed of my presence as a woman? Or maybe, I was wrong. I might just be jumping into conclusions, why not just ask him about it? "Do you need help with _," "I fucking didn't ask you to come in. Now, leave." He ordered. Nah, the "F" word. He was used to being this damn rude. Silence. He was so used to giving the rules that he had forgotten he was in dire need of a help - urgently. His stomach growled, and he winced, clutching his stomach. "You do not look like you want me out," my voice was calm. I stooped before him, meeting his gaze. "Please, let me help you up. I'm only doing my job." I hoped that did the trick .... It didn't. Instead, his eyes blazed fiercely like fire in a furnace. Another rumbling and he groaned - pushing his hands to the chair for a support. One of his legs breathed life, taking the rise for a stand. But he fell back abruptly, hitting his head hard on the door. "God damnit, I need to use the loo," he muttered as another rumbling wrench him. A fart escaped him. He froze momentarily, steering his gaze away from me. Like a reflex, my upper teeth sunk on my inner lower lip. "Don't you dare laugh, Suzzie," the voice in my head warned me. My hands stretched out towards his exposed briefs. That should be the first, then we could concentrate on placing him on the seat of the water closet. "You probably might not like this, Mr Skyler. I understand you're much concerned about my presence here than your need of using the restroom. If it were possible, I would find another alternative.." I explained to him. He shot me a gnarl. I expected another remark from him, but instead heard a fart as his response. Taking that as a reply, my hands reached out and tugged his briefs downwards. His eyes bulged instantly at my act. His flaccid dick dangled between his legs, and he suddenly wrenched his eyes at me. Our gaze met and held for a split second. I grabbed his arm and shoved it over my shoulder, picked him up and guided him towards the water closet. He wouldn't even look at me. He had his head slightly bent while a hand partially covered his face. "I could return if you need help washing_" "I can wash my butt myself," his voice was heavy as he interrupted me. "Okay, okay, I'll just be outside then," I tried a bright smile. His dark eyes peered up at me and he swore under his breath - throwing his face away. As I left I couldn't help erase the smile that sketched across my face. Tyler certainly had a way of not making his concerns known. Proud as he was, he was cute acting like he never needed any help. I paced around his room, noting the view from his window. He must have seen me while I'd raced across the field. My eyes skated to the shelf of books in left corner. Such a lonely world, I mused to myself. Maybe, I should push him to go out more often. When was the last time he came out of his house after the accident? I could tell from the tone of his voice, he certainly didn't want me here - or anyone for that matter. My eyes stumbled on the rumpled envelope, and I started towards it, picked it and stripped it bare of its content.Suzzie's POV My first suggestion to my foster father was why do I need to be Tyler's caregiver when I could just wait for the right time, pick up my rifle and gun Tyler Skyler down in the pool of his blood without anyone knowing who exactly was behind his death?Hadn't he done likewise to the only family I had ever known and loved?Father had explained that he as well needed authentic answers as to why his older brother was killed.

Tyler's POV I'd celebrated my engagement to Isabella Connor at Angel's hotel, but it still felt dreamlike to me anytime I remember - Isabella's sudden departure, her mother's disappointed gaze, and Isabella's fleeting, strained smile. The marriage was never about love at first. it was a business arrangement between our families. Warren Connor, Isabella's father, had been a close associate of my late father and a shareholder in my company. I thought merging our interests through marriage would be strategic. Little did I know that I would fall completely and hopelessly in love with Isabella as I spent so much time with her. Her infidelity shattered me. I'd started to accept our marriage, even finding Isabella's qualities appealing – her femininity, poise, and impeccable etiquette, which I believed would make her a great mother to my children. But her betrayal changed everything. But I was a fool to fantasize about illusions. First, I'd wanted to throw a punch to the face of
What would you do if you returned to the place you call home and it was razed to the ground? That feeling of numbness, perplexity, and helplessness would probably surface and leave you shelving for some form of truth through the ashes. That was what I'd felt. I still recall the searing images from four years ago: returning from tutorial to find our house engulfed in flames. Despite my desperate pleas, the police barred me from entering. Neighbors corroborated that a blood-curdling scream had pierced the air moments before the fire erupted. But nothing had been proven except the dead bodies of my parents and my poor little sister. My heart was torn to pieces, broken and bleeding. I needed some form of truth. My father had been a chauffeur for the Skyler's family for ten years before his death, and they too couldn't denote what had killed our family until my uncle came along. Alfred Caines. He was my father's younger brother, a once-upon-a-time secret agent who loved soli
Even before my hand fell on the knob, muffled sound of moans emanated from the room. My stomach churned again. This was true, Devon was indeed cheating on me.I pushed the door open and let myself in. Scattered clothes trailed down to the floor. Devon's familiar frame was between two white-creamed legs entangled around his waist.He was barechested kissing the nape of her neck while her hands tugged the band of his trousers.My heart scattered into tiny pieces as the scene played on before me. All the words he said to me, all the promises he'd confessed....."Devon?" My voice was heavy.They obviously haven't noticed my entrance, nor the opening of the door.The two sprang apart, caught in a pot of love - with wide eyes. Evidently they were shook to their bones while the brunette scrambled to cover her almost naked body with the duvet cover."What the hell?" Devon was the first to find his voice.He stared at me in transfix then back at the door."How did you get in?" He asked, cla
As my car turned another corner, my phone buzzed with incoming texts, followed by a call. I sighed softly, anticipating another interruption. "You need to see this." "Devon is definitely cheating on you. A real time two-timer." I read through the messages sent to me from Mariana, my bestfriend who had automatically became my sister through thick and thin. I clicked the screen of my phone and a tremor ran through my body as the images on the screen caught me off guard. The first image was the familiar face of Devon, my boyfriend, talking to a brunette who surprisingly had her hands draped around him. It could probably be a business meeting or some out of the office talk.. Another was a picture of them entering into an hotel room together. This was no business meeting. We'd talked earlier before I went over to the shopping mall to get groceries. He went on hammering on how he planned to nail his proposals in Spain, assuring me of his return when he was done with his proje
