Ruby found herself squished in the back seat with Cassie. The cab driver reminded her of the burly man who drove her to the airport. At least he was nice enough to turn on the air conditioning but her current driver was mean and acted like he was in a need for speed game. “I wish I had driven my car” Cassie frowned as she rolled the windows of the car down. The heat was unreasonable and irritated her so much.After her lunch date with Ruby, they decided to go to Ethan’s house immediately. Ethan lived at the fourth avenue which was the farthest place from work. Cassie wondered how Ethan was able to keep up with the gas bill and still come to the office on time. “I’d appreciate it if you drive reasonably and not endanger my life!” Cassie fired the driverRuby had found their bickering and took delight in it. She was already used to having rude Spanish drivers and she knew better to complain.Cassie was rude and knew how to insult people mercilessly but so did the man too. He

Hunter pulled the microphone and cameras off his body immediately he entered the minivan. He could now breathe properly. “You didn’t do bad out there” Katie commended him. “I think I want to hire you, your acting skills are wonderful” “I thought I was going to pee my pants” Hunter laughedAfter he had convinced Wyatt to release Jake, Bentley had spent a good twenty minutes devising some sort of stupid plan to get more money. Wyatt stated he was thinking of going into politics after everything was over. “Your mother and sisters are going to be on the next flight to America” Nate told himHe had been quiet all these while, he thought of all the things he could do to pay Wyatt in his own coin. It was appalling that Wyatt was trying to bring down the dead. It had been eighteen years since his father’s death and Wyatt still had an unhealthy competition and obsession with him. “Thank you so much”Hunter fell to knees, tears in his eyes. “I promise I would do anything I can to h

Ruby sighed as she got into the cab. The old man at Ethan’s house had called on other neighbors to testify to his claims. None of the neighbors had good things to say about Ethan.What shocked her more was that they claimed he was the exact opposite of who he was at the office. He was rude and didn’t hesitate to pick fights at every instant. “Do you believe them?” Cassie askedShe had been awkwardly quiet for someone who always ran her mouth at every chance. Most people had always asked how Ethan managed to be friends with her but the truth was that he always kept her in check. When Ethan didn’t show up to work, her attitude got worse. “I don’t know,” Ruby groaned.She could have sworn they were talking about the wrong Ethan and had pulled out a picture of him for confirmation. “The thing is neither of us really had the chance to visit him at home and know what he was really like. If his neighbors claimed he was pretending, do you think he would have kept up with his actin

“Are you alright?” Katie asked as she pulled her hair into a ponytail. The woman had had a long day of tailing Bentley and collecting evidence against Wyatt.She noticed Nate had barely said a word for the past thirty minutes and he hadn’t touched the fast food that was ordered. She sighed and she moved closer to him.“If something is bothering you, you can talk to me. I know you’ve had a very long day but the fact that we’ve been able to collect concrete against him should put a smile on your face” The van had emptied out as most of the workers had returned home. “I received a text from Wyatt” he replied quietly He had struggled to find a way to channel the anger he felt. He couldn’t go around punching things, especially since the day he saw how Ruby was scared because of him. “What did the text say?” He passed the phone to her. Wyatt was asking too much of him.He asked that Nate meet with him at a hidden corner of the park. The park held too much memories for Na

Ruby smiled as she nestled in his chest. There was no other feeling than cuddling with the man she loved after a long day. She had contemplated going to Anderson’s office but changed her mind. She was tired already and decided to go the next day. “I know you missed me” Nate smiled cockily but tiredly Katie had driven him home and fixed a meeting with some other guys for the next day. “No I didn’t” she fake frowned before breaking into a wide smile.She loved how safe and secure she felt in his arms. After a crazy day, he was what she needed to rest. It almost felt like he was the balance in her life. Before, she would rather curl up on her couch eating popcorn but she had never experienced a calming feeling as good as Nate’s. “So tell me, how did your day go?” He asked and placed a quick kiss on her foreheadHe smiled as he spotted one of his old shirts on her. It had become more like a casual habit for her to wear his clothes. “Did you know Ethan hasn’t been at work fo

“I won’t be able to put a microphone or camera on you, Wyatt would be very cautious about you and if he finds any bug on you, he could kill you” Nate listened to a man in black suit talk about the dangers of wearing a bug. The last few days had run by so fast, it was almost a blur for him. Ruby was worried about Ethan and was pissed that he wasn’t as worried as she was or maybe, there was more to her and Ethan.Nate shook his head as he tried to push the nasty thoughts away. “You would have to go about this on your own” Katie said She wore her hair in such a tight chignon that Nate had thought her face would split in half. “I would be hiding in the bushes but I have to make sure I’m not seen by any of Wyatt’s men” she continued Nate stared at the phone. Following Katie’s previous instructions, he was asked not to reply to Wyatt’s text message.He felt a shiver run through his spine as he read the text for the hundredth time that day. “Can I have that?” Katie asked

Ruby tapped her feet impatiently as she waited at the reception. The secretary she had lashed out on the other day glared at her from her desk but Ruby was too preoccupied to pay any attention to her. There was no time on her hands. Her relationship with Nate had been strained and she took all the blame for it. She was barely speaking to him and was always on the edge each time she remembered Ethan was missing or he had run away like his neighbors had claimed; the main thing was that he was missing with no idea of his whereabouts. She had sensed a hint of jealousy in Nate each time she talked about Ethan, she wasn’t sure if she was to be worried about it or just let it go. It also bothered her that Nate hadn’t mentioned Ethan’s outburst to her, not until she found out. “You can go in now” the secretary hissed and glared even moreRuby grabbed her purse and marched into the office angrily. Anderson always had a way of getting on her nerves each time. “Are you here for

What started out as a sunny day had slowly become a dark, gloomy rainy day. The mud stuck to his boots as the leaves crumpled on each step. The park was empty save for the security guard who looked like he was about to sleep any minute.Nate sighed as he moved towards the back of the Ferris wheel just like he was instructed to. The only thing that mattered was that he and Jake left the park alive, in one piece.Contrary to how bubbly the park used to be, it seemed dead and lifeless. He smiled as he remembered how he would meet up with some of his friends from school on Saturdays at the park, while they were chatting, the kids would sneak off and buy some candy floss even though their mothers didn’t approve of it. Nate felt his heart skip a beat as he approached the rollercoaster. He became nervous and was almost willing to turn back but he had come too far already. Waves of nostalgia and sadness ran through him as he took each step slowly. The roller coaster was his father’
