HOOKED ON ZERO THE AFTERMATH
I stared at the six dead men still bleeding out on the ground before me.They all had deep stab wounds on different parts of their bodies, deep gouges on their necks and one on the thigh. There was a gunshot wound on one's head as well. The stab wound on the thigh was so deep and so wide, I wondered how Mia had been able to do it. Heck, I wondered how she had singlehandedly killed all six men that weighed more than the average man."Please, move aside Mr. Moore."I moved aside and watched as the medics unzipped body bags and got to work putting each of the men inside. The forensics had done their job taking specimens and pictures, even though it was self defense. I had just finished being quizzed by all five of the policemen who were currently huddled together taking notes and staring at me intermittently.All five of them had showed up approximately six minutes after I called the break in. After Mia called me down and I set eyes on them, I knew I had to take the fall for killing all
HOOKED ON ZERO THE PROPOSAL
What in the Christian Grey kind of proposal was this? I stared in shock at the letter lying limply in my hand. I double checked for what seemed like the third time, to make sure it was really from Alex. He had even had it stamped and signed, even though it was personally delivered to me by one of his staff. Talk about an official letter, this certainly took the cake. I licked my suddenly dry lips, wondering if I had probably hit my head and misinterpreted the words staring at me in the letter. Chito wheeled himself into the room and I scrambled to hide the letter but it wasn't necessary. He didn't even so much as glance my way. We had fallen into an uneasy kind of relationship where I had become one of the fixtures in the house to him. I, on the other hand didn't know what to say to him whenever I saw him. I couldn't impose my will on Alex and tell him I wanted the boy put in another room. As it stood I was already walking on thin ice, especially after the visit of the six uninvite
HOOKED ON ZERO HELLO, AND BYE, MOTHER!
I didn't know how I found myself in the middle a woody area, but as I walked into a clearing, I felt a sense of familiarity overwhelm me. A cabin stood, not far ahead, looking like it would fall to pieces at any moment. Spurred on by an inner force, I walked towards it, hesitating for only a brief instance before walking in. The room I entered was sparsely furnished with only two stools at a corner and a long table in the middle. There was really nothing of interest in the cabin but as I turned to walk away, my attention was drawn to a man someone sitting cross legged on a mat in the extreme corner of the room. I unknowingly walking towards the person needing to know who it was. As I got close enough, I noticed a man with bald head and a long white beard. His eyes were closed and he seemed to be meditating. Just then, another man came into the room and bowed low. "Master, there's still no word about her. Maybe we should." "NO!" The white bearded man's eyes flew open. "We can't give
HOOKED ON ZERO THE DIRTY PAST
As I got to the room, I was shocked to see Abigail chatting happily with Chito. They turned towards me as I walked inside. "Hi!" My brows furrowed as I gazed at Chito. His face was alive with a smile, his eyes lit from a fire within, but as soon as he set eyes on me, that scowl I had come to know as part of his face, immediately replaced it. My heart sank and I looked away from him. "Hi, Mia, Chito and I were just talking about you. We wondered when you would be back." She gave me a knowing smile as her gaze settled on my clothes. "Excuse me!" Chito said, and immediately wheeled himself out. Immediately he left, Abigail bounded up from the bed and rushed to me. "I want to know everything. Where did you go? Who did you go out with? How great is he in bed? Wh-?" She caught sight of my face and her's turned to a mask of worry as she held my hand. "Are you okay? You look pale, what's wrong?" I sank into the chair at the foot of the bed and stared at the balcony. All I could see was Ch
HOOKED ON ZERO CRAVINGS
I wanted her. No. I needed her. Craved to have her, needed to be close to her. Inside of her. I needed to possess her.I wiped the dirty thoughts from my mind as I came down from the plane. I had been too tied up ever since our rendezvous on Friday and hadn't had any spare time on my hands. I had to travel on the spur of the moment the next evening to Italy to check out my new office. I also needed to meet with the new staff there as well. And then there was the issue of Exceva. More great reviews kept coming in and my lab staff in Newark had to bend backwards to create more for the needy consumers, but hey — I wasn't complaining.I went straight to work from the airport for a meeting but could barely concentrate. My mind kept replaying my time with Mia. Her silky skin, pouty lips, and those legs. Those legs had been wrapped around me almost all night on friday, turning me into a caveman. My pants tightened just thinking about her. I didn't want to act all possessive about her that's
HOOKED ON ZERO A HEAVENLY TRIP
I gazed in awe at the plane I was seated in. The upholstery was in a rich coffee brown and all around, the smell of genuine leather assailed my nostrils. Everything screamed rich and classy, reminding me once again that Alex was way out of my league.I will not feel small, not now, maybe never. I am exactly where the universe wants me to be.I mentally gave myself a pep talk as I looked around and caught sight of Chito's smiling face. I was happy he was happy. I could also feel my face stretch impossibly wide in a smile. Truth be told, ever since we stepped into Alex's private plane, it had been bliss.Apart from the red sign which lit up indicating we use our seat belts, I didn't even know when the plane had lifted off the ground. Not until we were side by side the fluffy clouds, did I realize we were high up in the air. I gazed in wonder at them as we sailed past. If not for their colour, they could easily be mistaken for cotton candy.Chito noisily munched on some popcorn beside me
HOOKED ON ZERO THE CURE
Three days. It took me just three days and I didn't want to go back, I wanted to stay here forever in Italy with Alex. Even Chito's attitude had somehow thawed towards me. We had fallen into an uneasy type of relationship where, whenever we went out for sight seeing, he would tell me to take a picture of him and I would oblige with a beatific smile.Italy was such a beautiful place with different interesting tourist attractions. The coliseum, an enormous amphitheater. It was the very first place we visited. The guides told us gory stories of how gladiators had to fight huge and scary beasts and how most times they didn't stand a chance as they were torn to shreds. I closed my eyes trying to imagine it and was pleasantly surprised to hear the guttural shouts of people urging the gladiators to come out, and the beating of the battle drums as they ushered them into the massive theatre.Chito's eyes bulged with awe as he took in the length and breadth of the gigantic coliseum with hushed
HOOKED ON ZERO THE GUARDIAN
It had been one week of bliss since we arrived Italy. One week of laughter, fun and peace, and it didn't seem like we were leaving anytime soon. Not that I was complaining, on the contrary, I was only too happy we were still here. I caught the looks on the faces of females whenever we all decided to eat out or even go sightseeing.They were looks of envy and longing, and I soaked in them. I felt lucky I had snagged Alex. Alright, maybe that wasn't a good word, but what other word could I use?He and I were in some type of relationship, after all, plus he made it too easy to forget it was anything but a business relationship. He was caring to the point of me being hella suspicious. He was also very attentive and in tune with my needs which made me relaxed around him at all times. And then there were the jokes, premium jokes he didn't know did him a lot of favours in my eyes. And the way he took care of Chito as if were his own son, endeared me to him like crazy.Alex had told me to keep
