FELIX'S POVI squinted through the window, one hand braced against the frame as I craned my neck to see downstairs.Another unfruitful plan...Just like that, I couldn't get her. After all the planning with Anna, and still the Langford City police couldn't just throw Rebecca in jail so she would have to beg me to release her.Anna had told me that she had this grand plan to get Rebecca arrested, and now from the looks of things, Rebecca had outsmarted her."What a bunch of pathetic fools. Can't even successfully arrest one woman."From the top of my office, I stared down at her. Victory etched on her face—but not for long.I turned away from my window and walked over to the other side of my office.Cramped and suffocating, the office could'nt even seat five people without elbows clashing. Rebecca wanted me boxed in. In her dreams.This was merely a setback and I plan to play this game with her for as long as she wants. In the end, she will beg me.That is the only way this is going t
REBECCA'S POV"Is there anything else, Miss Belmont?" Anna asked as she set my bag on the table.My legs crossed against the other. "That will be all. You can go."Anna gave me one last stern look before she nodded and turned to leave.The door closed, and Lewis leaned closer. "Miss Belmont, why are you provoking her? She looks like the kind of person who won't let things slide."I stared at the door in front of me. "Of course she won't, and that is precisely why I’ll keep getting under her skin."Lewis gave a thoughtful nod.Anna Sterling was the woman who destroyed my home. It was only fair that I do the same to her. She took my home, and I plan on taking her life.Killing her would be an act of mercy. But her life... it can take various painful forms. Anna was the type who loved to be the center of attention. She craved it like a drug.The ecstasy of fame and power—I'll make sure she reaches for it but never gets it.The door opened again, and I flicked my gaze towards it. Alyssa w
KENDRICK'S POVMy fingers drummed against the table, my eyes were fixed on the wall clock that hung over the wall.I squinted my gaze.“Why does it seem like this thing is not even moving?” I grumbled.The faster I left the office, the sooner I could go see her. I wanted to call her, but I still didn’t have her number. Or I could just ask Jessica to give it to me.Funny, how I stalked her for years and still never got her number. Anyway, I couldn’t blame myself for that part because she was someone’s wife at the time.I threw my head back. Jessica was my only option.She might just end up teasing me, but if that was what it took to get Becca’s contact, then fine.I scooped my phone from the table and craned forward, my fingers already about to start typing on the screen when I heard a knock on the door and I paused.“Mr. Reyes, are you in?” Mia Hermes, one of my assistants, called out from the door.With Lewis occupied for now, I let Mia handle things—at least until he returns, if he
REBECCA'S POV"Miss Belmont, please don't complicate things," he says. "We are just doing our job." He gave a sublte and polite nod."Well, Your job is shitty and it sucks. Kindly consider a change of pofession." I snapped.There was no way I was going to let myself falter just because he was polite.If I was correct, this must have been Anna’s doing. She had always detested me, no doubt—or maybe it was the both of them.The lovebird duo.Unfortunately, I was not in the mood for games."I am sorry, gentlemen. I have no intention of skipping work today."Two steps forward, and I was already standing eye to eye with the man in front of me. "I didn’t get dressed to be hanging around in a police station, and besides, you just came here on baseless claims."I narrowed my gaze, and I could see the man’s lips tighten."If you want me to go with you, then you should at least provide proof. Else, I would not hesitate to sue you for trespassing because, after all, this is my company."I turned
REBECCA'S POVBing!The sharp sound shrieked inside my head and I squinted my eyes, tucking myself inside the bed. The more I tried to shut the noise out, I just kept hearing it.“Shit, what do you want now?” I groaned.I flipped to the other side, letting out a yawn, blinking my eyes through the dizziness as I stretched towards my phone laying on the nightstand.My eyes squinted, seeing the notifications popping up over my screen.I exhaled, flipping my hair to the side, slowly lifting my weight until I was resting on the bed frame. The duvet lay over my legs, so I pulled it up and my knees found my chin. Fingers brushing over the smoothness of my screen.Just then, I paused when my eyes locked on the most absurd thing I had seen. But after what Kendrick did, this shouldn’t be coming as a surprise.Speaking of, where was he?I closed my eyes for a moment, using my phone to tap against my head. The last thing I remembered was kendrick stepping out of the car to take a call. I was to
KENDRICK'S POV"They are definitely going to end my life for this."I sighed, ending the call before I tucked my phone carefully inside my pocket.As I slid into the car, I found Rebecca already asleep—peaceful, as if the world hadn’t tried to break her just hours ago.Her breath started coming in slowly and the more I stared at her, my heart thudded in my chest. I took a deep breath. She was always so tough and guarded around me but yet she was here sleeping casually.I smiled, leaning closer until our faces were almost touching, but I held on to the last shred of restraint I had left in my heart. "You are here, sleeping like there is no tomorrow." I ran my fingers through the side of her hair, tucking them behind her ears, and I couldn’t help the bit of warmth creeping into every fiber of my body."Rebecca Belmont, aren’t you scared that I would do something to you?"Her eyelids squinted, and she shifted uncomfortably. She's a goner, I thought to myself as I turned back to face the
