Victoria had just kissed her father goodbye, and I handed him a bottle of wine, his gift that I had earlier left in the car. Victoria had carried it along while searching for me.

Then we climbed down the staircase. My eyes darted from one end of the room to the other. Taking the step one at a time. I needed to see Alex first before he sees me. Then my eyes fell on him.

It wasn't hard to spot him in a crowd like this. There were fewer younger men, and his height and broad shoulders would always

    Marcus?!” My eyes darted wide at the man sitting in the passenger's seat. His head almost touched the roof of the car. I drifted my eyes back to the driver who looked like he had been dazed, his mouth pouted, only a thin line.I couldn't believe this was happening. Was it yet another dream? Or is my brain beginning to play pranks on me? I had seen people hallucinate only in movies. Was I experiencing one in real life? And happening to not just anybody else, but me? I spun a little, looked out the window, and the city blurred past. I shook my head. No, I wasn't dreaming after all. I was in this car with Marcus and another man who looked permanently sedated, rolling his red-rimmed eyes at me through the rear-view mirror. Was Marcus abducting me? After hurting Victoria he had turned to me now?“Move faster!” He ordered the man. The tires rolled even faster, the engine rattled its loudest, while each reckless swerve bumped me hard against the side of the car. I banged loudly on the door

    I turned slowly, my eyes burning from another night with almost no sleep. I didn’t even remember drifting off. One minute I was staring at the ceiling, the next the room was bright with morning light. Blinding me. But what cut deepest was the silence after my words, after telling her what Marcus said. Lena hadn’t defended it. She hadn’t looked at me and said the baby was mine. She hadn’t called my name. She hadn’t stopped me when I walked up the stairs. She just sat there, hands in her lap, eyes on the floor, letting his claim hang in the air like smoke. I hated that she remained quiet. That the flicker in her eyes didn't die, they stood there, igniting anger in me. Did I not mean anything? Did we not have any understanding? What about the way she looked at me? I wanted her to fight for us. For me. For the tiny life I had already started imagining, tiny hands, her smile, my eyes. I had pictured it every night since I found out. I had driven to her doctor’s appointments even wh

    It wasn't just in the way he said it. It wasn't just the ache in his voice, but the strain in his eyes too. My heart shattered right inside me. My knees wobbled, goosebumps coursed through me.I darted my eyes to the ceiling, then back to the floor, but there was nothing I could say. I searched for words. Words enough to defend me, but my throat clogged even tighter.I moved a little till I crashed into the couch. How do people defend things like this? What word was I supposed to say to take away the pain sitting in his eyes? To erase the ugly way he sees me now. What?!I would definitely sound stupid telling him how sure I was about this. A knot clogged in my chest. How on earth did Marcus even know about my growing bump? Now I believe there's someone on the outside feeding him. But he must be sick in the head to think I would let him anywhere near my child. My mind flew back to the first time I sat before that doctor, I remembered exactly how my heart sank into my stomach the momen

    I didn't know how to act, what to say, or how to say it all through the ride to Alex's house. God knows this was the last thing I would want. Staying in his house? Gosh, that sounded like having to walk on eggshells! It sounded really crazy.But you know what's crazier? Marcus’ face under that tree. Dressed in that shiny black leather outfit that made him look like a black panther in the dark. Ugh!That sight was scary. I stood there, by that window, transfixed, hand turned white on the curtains. Mary knocked again and my heart flew over the roof as I spun fast. By the time she stepped in I was already panting like I had fallen from a tall tree.Then I looked back, he was gone. It was almost like I was hallucinating. Exactly what he was good at, making you lose your mind and question your sanity.I knew it was best to lock up the mansion. Alex was right. I could tell Marcus was still lurking around somewhere. And what happens when he crept up on me in the middle of the night? I couldn

  • MY EX-BOYFRIEND WANTS ME BACK   CHAPTER 080: ALEX’S POV

    I strutted into the house, coat over one arm, leather bag in the other. I walked up the stairs to my bedroom. The moment I lowered myself onto the edge of the bed, my mind flashed back, back to the interrogation I had with Marcus a few hours ago before I left the office to go meet up with a woman whose son was in custody. “Bro, I know you… Behind that tight jaw of yours, you could barely hurt a fly… Or are you telling me you want to start with your own blood?” He smirked.Each word he said was enough to infuriate me to the extent that he might not need a trial to be sent to heaven, but I watched him gloat. We still needed him to answer some questions. “And the ring? The one you gave to Samantha, where did you get that from?” I asked, voice low and tight.“The ring? It was my father's money! It was the family's wealth… Why on earth should it be in one person's name and possession? She had no use for it. I mean, why was it there in a box? You needed to see how beautiful it looked on h

    “What the hell…” I snarled. “This isn’t possible!” My head banged immediately. I pressed a palm over my forehead. What’s this news? How was it possible for Marcus to escape custody? I stared back at the screen. Maybe I had missed something earlier.The news sat there still. THIRTEEN SUSPECTS AWAITING TRIAL ESCAPE CUSTODY AMIDST FIRE OUTBREAK! Then the list of names glared on the screen. I stretched forth the remote control again, the news was too tragic to be true. Turned it off even before the news was over. Then I picked up my phone, maybe Alex would have something to say about this. It was even more shocking that he hadn’t called me yet. The newscaster had said this happened about two hours ago. That was enough time! According to the news, they had waited to compile the names of the escapees, with possibly more names emerging soon. I felt a low rumble in my stomach, jaw clenched tight as my hands shook around the gadget.Just then, a knock sounded lightly on the door. My heart

    I twitched the bridge of my nose, the room smelled of damp wood and stale air, dust clung to the wall, a cobweb fold hung loose at one corner. There was nothing fancy about being in here, but it was the only safe place. Maria had directed me here and given me the keys too. It was her late grandmot

    I had stood by the window for too long, fingers clenched around the edge of the heavy curtain as if it would tear it down. My brows furrowed, each vein thumping hard under my skin as I stood there, watching as the black SUV rolled down the driveway, headlights sweeping across the tall building bef

    The tiny clock on the nightstand chimed seven, I slapped the snooze button, the sound died instantly. I casually closed the book staring in my face, the only thing that had kept me sane as time went by, I had picked it from one of the shelves, something about ‘Men and bitches’.Eyes puckered in fr

    “What was he doing here?” I furrowed my brows, carefully drew on the transparent bathroom linen, enough to cover a bit, his shadow still visible to me.“Move away now, or I'll scream the loudest!” I felt my blood surge. My voice cracked, louder than I expected.I stretched. This time, his shadow w
