LOGINEnzo:“It’s fine, Enzo. I think she will be an amusing guest to have around. Besides, what is the worst that she could do? I’m way older than her and I know that she isn’t above a good spanking, don’t you think?”“Natasha, stop this. This isn’t the time…”“I didn’t say anything,” she giggled, “but now I know a little more about your relationship with her. I guess she won’t mind a spanking. “Natasha…”“I’ll host her well, Enzo. Don’t worry. It’s cute that she cares about her friend. It might seem that you have a little competition for her care and attention. If anything strange goes on, I’ll be sure to let you know. Bye.”The line went dead, and I dropped my phone on the table a little too hard. I dragged my hands over my face again and groaned into my palm. Why was Tabitha like this? Getting involved in things that she shouldn’t, not listening to me, just thinking that she could do what she wants and fuck the consequences until later. If she kept doing this, then…“Urghhh! What is th
Tabitha:I stepped back, eyes wide, jaws slack. I couldn't believe that Enzo had just said that. Was he even thinking? What was he doing? “Enzo…” My voice was weak, hoarse. “This is serious. This is really serious. We should do something, call the police, get someone involved. We can’t sit back and do nothing.”He stood up and walked towards me. He tried to take my hand, but I pulled away.“Yes, we can, Tabitha,” he sighed. “This is for Natasha to handle. I know that you want to help, but we need to be careful. If we call the police, they might hurt Andrew. I don’t know what Natasha has in mind, but let her handle it the way she sees fit.”“She won’t handle it!” I screamed, stepping back, still in disbelief that he just said that, that he was on Natasha’s side. “You know that she wants the company. That this could be a ploy for her to get rid of Andrew and take over. I can’t believe that you would be quiet about this…”“I’m not being quiet about this,” he said, grabbing my hand, hold

Enzo:The room was silent. Tabitha let go of her notepad and pen, and they fell to the floor with a thud while she put her hand over her mouth. I looked at Natasha. Her expression was shocking, but she managed to mask it with a calmness that I had never seen before. “Excuse me?” she asked, acting like she hadn’t heard what was just announced loud and clear. “You heard me, Miss Bolden. I have your nephew, Andrew Bolden. We want $10 million before we release him. You have a week before we kill him. In three days, we will give comprehensive information on how the money will be given to us. Better get your wallet ready; I know that this is nothing for a woman of your calibre. And don’t you even think of calling the police.”She opened her mouth to say something, and the line went dead. The room was quieter than it had been before. She stared at the blank screen, her eyes searching, her red lips trembling. Tabitha had tears streaming down her face, with her hand shaking over her mouth.

Tabitha:Alarm went off early, and I groaned as I turned it off and dragged myself out of bed. It had been two weeks, and I was still groggy whenever I got up for work in the morning.So far, it had been good. I was still getting stares at the office, and Nora wasn't talking to me; other than that, there were no incidents. There was no one lingering at my door or making lewd comments at me in the hallway. If anything, everyone was so focused on the potential relaunch of the tractor. The running debate among the employees was that Enzo was going to drive the tractor for the launch to show that it was working perfectly, and it wasn't tied to Mr Bolden's death.I dragged myself to the bathroom, brushed my teeth half asleep, gasping when the cold water touched my face and crawled up my nose.My head immediately began to hurt, and I felt a stinging sensation that seemed to travel all the way up my brain.Dammit!” I groaned loudly, blowing my nose as hard as I could in a futile effort to
Tabitha:We ate in silence. We sat on chairs facing each other, but the entire time, my head was lowered to my food. Even though we had opened all the windows in the house, there was still the faint smell of burnt broth that would hit my nose from time to time. I couldn’t help but wonder what he w
Tabitha:I said nothing. The car ride was quiet, and I watched the street lights pass with a blur. My fingers ran lazily across the buttons on the door, and soon I pressed one to lower the window. The evening breeze came in, whipping my hair softly and filling my nostrils with the evening freshness
Enzo:I couldn’t help myself. I had been talking with Mr. Bolden. We were finishing the discussion about the prototype, and that was when I saw it: Andrew leading Tabitha around the house. My gaze had followed them until I could no longer see either of them as they disappeared behind the house. My
Tabitha:I was outside with Drew, his hand on my waist as he comforted me. My eyes stung, my throat burned, but I was going to be fine. Drew sat me down on the porch and waited for me to catch my breath. I smiled at him with teary eyes, and he chuckled. “I really have no idea what to do,” he said
