ログインADDISON'S POVI slowly flickered my eyes open, my body ached so hard, I barely could move. I let out a soft moan turning to the left, the image finally becoming clear with each blink, I was not in my room.I noticed the IV injection in my hand, the drip dropping softly and someone laying next to me, Jake. I slowly moved up, trying to carry my weight to sit on the bed but failed miserably.Jake noticed the constant movement, suddenly yanking awake, "you're awake," he softly said, locking his eyes with mine but I couldn't hold his gaze, slowly shifting it away."How..." my voice came out very hoarse, very different from my normal sound, I cleared my throat and tried again, "how long have I been unconscious?"He brought a cup of water, placed a straw in it for me to drink, then sat quietly next to me, "two days..." he muttered gently, feeding me the water.I choked on the water, he quickly used his sleeve to clean my mouth, treating me with utmost care, "take it please, you're finally ju
Marcus's gaze flickered many times, currently in disbelief, he definitely had no idea that was there, "he had been wiretapping this to them this whole time," Conrad yelled enraged, marching towards him but I stopped him."Controlla la tua rabbia, Conrad, siamo già un passo più vicini di quanto pensi, come ho detto... Me ne occuperò io," (Control your rage, Conrad, we are already one step closer than you think, as I said... I'll handle this)Conrad stared at the boy for just a second then left the room with a loud grunt, slamming the door behind him and cursing out in loud Italian, I turned back to face Marcus, who was slightly relieved to have seen Conrad leave the room."Now back to you," I said, dragging a seat to face him completely, "my brother may be gone but that doesn't mean I don't know how to play the bad cop, your superiors knew you would be captured, yes or no..."He was silent for a while, fumbling with his fingers, then he let out a shaky breath, "they knew... but I reall
GLEN'S POVIt's been fucking two days and we've gotten nothing, we've employed the best of the best but yet, it all led to a lost cause. Conrad seemed the most calm out of us all but I know he's dying inside.I was heading to meet Romeo and Conrad at the main room when a call came in, the caller ID was unknown, maybe it was Addison but this was coming from New York.I picked it up after a while, the other line was silent for a while then a soft breath broke the silence, "Hello..." a voice I thought I would never hear in my life again... Leslie."I promised myself never to get entangled with you but I need your help," she started, her voice literally shaking. I was already dealing with Addison and now Leslie's in trouble."What happened? Tell me everything... Are you okay?" I asked, barely thinking straight, I doubt anyone in my shoes could."It's not about me but Addison, I haven't been able to get to her for a while then she reached out to me today...""She did?!" I practically yelle
I quickly covered the wall, pat the dust off my body then headed out of the garden before it became too suspicious and as if on cue, two guards were already in the garden, eyes searching for me."Is there any problem?" I asked calmly, a small smile tugging on my lips, they looked at me then trailed their eyes to the white rabbit in my arms, "oh... this, I found it lurking around, I can keep it right?"They locked their eyes with themselves then at me then nodded, I smiled brightly, walking past them and headed back into the house, right now, my aim is to find out where that door led to.Hopefully, it wasn't a dead end, I moved quietly to the kitchen where the maids were, I met them talking but they seized the second I stepped foot into the kitchen."Young miss," they said in unison, bowing their heads slightly, "do you need anything?" One of them spoke calmly.I shook my head, staring at them for a while before speaking, "I don't really need anything, maybe a companion, I'm awfully bo
I stared at the cellphone for a while then muttered quietly under my breath, "you owe me more than that," luckily he was quite far away to hear what I had just said.I raised my head gently to face him, "does that mean I can go to the gardens?" He nodded gently, a small smile crept on my face, this was my ticket to finally escaping."Did you—" he started gently then faced his plate of food without completing his sentence. I frowned in confusion, "I can't give you an answer to something I don't know."Jake raised his head gently, looking at me with a gaze that felt warm but I couldn't feel it, "I... I wanted to know if you tried the pastries..."I chuckled softly, shaking my head as I ate my food, "was that so hard to ask? Yes, I had the pastries, it was very nice."A small smile crept on his lips, I needed to know if the pastry shop was close by but asking him that would risk all my chances, it's better to make my findings after he left."I won't be home on time, so don't wait for me,
What behavior? Dude you literally couped me up in here and you're telling me to behave well... fucker. I smiled softly, turning my face to his, "if you treat me right, I promise to behave well."He turned my head back around, chuckling softly, "I always treat you right, you just don't—" he paused."Don't what?" I spoke up gently but he dropped the towel on my hair abruptly, turning to leave when I held onto his hand quickly, "I don't what, Jake? Huh... speak to me, because the last time I checked, you are the one holding me against my will."He suddenly grabbed me by my neck, the color of his eyes changed as I struggled to hold my breath, quickly he noticed what he was doing and dropped his hands immediately.I dropped to the floor gasping for breath, "what... happened... to... you?" I said, trying to wrap my head around all this because this was certainly not the Jake I knew."I—" he reached out to me but I moved back gently, "please... get out," my voice was barely above a whisper b
TWO DAYS LATERMy life had been actually going great, I heard nothing from Glen and I wasn't even thinking of him, I had finally moved on from him.I was supposed to go to Leslie's place then we would head to the mall but I decided to wait for her at the mall to avoid running into Glen, nothing was
I pulled the phone away from me, wincing at how loud she was. "Don't tell me you guys had sex.""No, but we were so close and I hate myself because I enjoyed every fucken part of it and I want more," I cried. "God knows that I'd do it again Lovina and that sucks because I hate myself for this, Les
My eyes fluttered in shock and confusion, "ahh..." a soft breath escaped my lips as I struggled to make a simple sentence.I bit my lips, sucked in a deep breath and let it, I turned to the door and shoved the middle finger in front of the door and walked away fuming.A ding caught my attention, th
I couldn't stop my voice before I blurted it out, all eyes were now on me."You okay...?" Leslie quickly placed her hands on mine, I turned with a small smile on my face."Yeah, I think something bit me on my thigh," I said calmly, darting a sharp gaze at Glen but he ignored me and went back to his
