Enzo:

“Tell me more about this piece of technology.”

I smiled and reached for my glass of water. Mr. Bolden was a traditional man. He believed in the environment, and so did I. It was one of the reasons I knew that this was going to be a deal that would benefit both of us.

“My company has been doing a lot to produce machinery that runs on renewable energy that doesn’t pollute the environment. I’m also investing in a few other businesses that support new scientific breakthroughs in renewable e

  • In My Godfather’s Bed    144. Tabitha

    Tabitha:My heart was racing as I watched them. Their lips were moving, but I couldn’t hear a thing that they were saying, and part of me was happy that I couldn’t hear anything. But even at that, the look in Enzo’s eyes gave me the chills. He was mad, and I knew that I was going to be in a lot of trouble as soon as we got home. A sigh escaped my lips as I leaned back in the chair and buried my face in my hands. I still couldn’t believe that Emily would do something like that to me. She was so mad, mad enough to leave me in the corridor and allow those people to…I didn’t even want to think about it. I had peeked into Collins’ phone during the car ride here. I was all over social media. My bloodied face, illuminated by camera flashes. Someone had even gotten a photo of me panting, and my face was a mess. The bloggers were going to have a good laugh at that picture. As I lifted my head, I saw Enzo walk to the car. He opened the door, and I moved over to the far end, leaving a huge ga

    Enzo:My driver took a sharp left, and I was pressed hard against the door. My phone was trembling in my hand as I watched Tabitha’s location, a mixture of anger and fear burning inside of me.What was she even thinking?! I told her to stay put. I told her not to engage with anyone. That the reporters were after us and we had to keep a low profile till everything dies down, and now…I switched to the Messages app and saw the text, sent about twenty minutes ago. “Fuck!”We took another left, and I gripped the leather seats hard, my nails digging in deep and rubbing obnoxiously against them. Suddenly, my phone began to ping. I opened the notification and felt my blood run cold. Someone had tagged me in a post, and it was a video of Tabitha on the floor of the building, her face and hands were bloodied, and she used her arm to hide her face. What had happened to her? What did they do to her? Shit!“Drive faster! Faster!”My driver made a noise and hit the gas harder. I didn’t care if

    Tabitha:I couldn't stop looking at the clock and thinking about what Nora said. My phone hadn't buzzed with Emily's text yet. If Nora was that angry, then I could only imagine how upset Emily would be.My stomach churned, and I nearly doubled over, sick. I still had so much work to finish up, and the day was almost over. I could barely concentrate. So many things were happening at once. Only a few minutes ago, Enzo texted me that he was at the station. What was going on now? A sigh escaped my lips, and I tried to slow down my pounding heart. I had work to finish, and I could worry about Emily and Nora after. We had to get our numbers up and remain out of the reporter's radar for the meantime. It was nearly closing time, and surprisingly, it wasn't as noisy as I had expected. I knew there were still some persistent photographers watching the entrance, but apart from this morning, nothing crazy had happened yet.I typed furiously, still surreptitiously watching my phone and praying

    Enzo:My phone buzzed on the table. I dropped my pen and sighed at the name across the screen. I really hoped that there was good news being delivered. I was already over this whole mess. “Hello, Officer Sandy. Good afternoon.”“Good afternoon, Mr. Ross.” Her voice was tight and hurried. “I know that you have a lot on your plate right now, but we are going to need you to come to the station.”“Why?” I raised an eyebrow. She sounded strange… and I didn’t like it one bit. “Is there any progress on any of the investigations going on so far. It’s been weeks, and I have yet to hear any news.”“I…I can’t tell you that, Sir,” she stuttered, her voice croaking slightly, “but it is imperative that you come to the station immediately. If you refuse, I will get a squad to escort you here.”My chest tightened. Something was definitely wrong. This had to be a trap. “That’s alright. I will be there in a few minutes.”Officer Sandy tried to get another word out, but I ended the call and called Mar

  • In My Godfather’s Bed    139. Tabitha

    Tabitha:I stood at the window overlooking the city. The reporters had gone… or that is what they wanted us to think. Every now and then, I would see a lady or a man at a restaurant across the street, anxiously looking at their phone or watch, as well as the entrance to the company. My lips turned down at the corners. They hadn’t dispersed. The hungry ones were still hanging around, waiting to pounce on Enzo and me as soon as we walked out of that door during closing hours. I tried not to think about it, but it was hard. This morning was a nightmare, and it was hard not to worry about how nightmarish it could be once we were done with work. My head snapped around at the sound of knocking on my door. “Come in,” I said exasperatedly. “After the encounter with Stephen from finance. I had grown more weary with those who came into my office. A few times during the day, I could have sworn I heard whispering or scratching just outside my door, like there were people pressed against the wo

    Tabitha:I woke up with a headache so brutal it felt like someone had taken an axe to my skull and left it there overnight. My tongue was dry, my throat burned faintly from throwing up, and for a few seconds I just lay there, staring at the ceiling, trying to remember how I had gotten into my pajam

    Tabitha:I walked up, my step, precise yet calculated. I felt an ache in my chest but soon ignored it because I knew it was just because I was still mad at Enzo.He soon saw me, and a smile crept onto his face, gently running his gaze from head to toe till he finally arrived at the table where he w

    Enzo:By morning, the damage was no longer small or abstract. It had become real and damning.I felt it the moment I stepped into the building, in the way conversations stopped mid-sentence, in the way people avoided eye contact.The lobby was filled but it still felt empty. People were around me b

    Tabitha:I didn't want to let go of him.Not in the car. Not when the driver’s eyes flicked to the rearview mirror and then moved away to focus on his driving, but I didn't care, especially now. I just couldn't. Not even when we reached the penthouse and the doors closed behind them with a soft, fi
