Rowan.She kept on staring at me like what I had just said was a big bullshit. But we both know that it’s the truth, just because I haven’t said anything about it doesn’t mean it’s wrong.“Now, since we’re done with this conversation—“ she cut me off while shaking her head frantically.“No, Rowan, we are not done.” My eyebrow arched as I watched her.“Excuse me?”“You definitely do not have the right to end this, Rowan. I won't sit back and let you cheat on me!” She yelled.See, she's delusional. What the fuck is she talking about?We are no longer together.We broke up, and I do not want anything to do with her anymore.“This is exactly what I’m talking about; you’re still in your head thinking I’m still with you. We are done Fiona, for years now. I haven’t even thought about the times we were together because they mean nothing to me so accept the fact that no one wants to be with your sick self.” I spat out and without giving her a chance to say anything, I went on.“And for the re
Rowan.I stepped into the building and took the elevator without any hindrance. I was here for one thing I have in mind and that’s to stop Fiona from going about with her threat.She could do and say whatever she wanted with me, but she should never involve Nicole. I wouldn’t sit back and let her threaten my woman. Fiona is nothing but an obsessed ex who couldn't get over a freaking heartbreak.There was two things I could do in this meeting. The first was for her to take my threat seriously and back down from whatever shitty storm she was planning. The second option would force me to take a harder approach, and that was something I was not looking forward to; the last thing I wanted was to harm a woman.I tapped the USB in my breast pocket with a smile and at the same time, the elevator door opened signaling I had to come out.As I stepped out of it, a lady stopped me just when I was about to enter Fiona’s office.I had messaged her last night that I wanted to meet her, and her reply
Laura. As soon as I stepped inside the hospital, I received a text from him asking me to meet him in a room in the hospital. I glanced around to see if anyone was watching but couldn’t spot anyone, which meant he had been here. Of course, he would be here, especially since it's Zoe who got hurt. He must have been frantic with worry guessing all the things that could be wrong with her.I couldn't help but wonder what he would look like when he's worried. Would he still have that same scowl on his face, or would he appear different?I stared at the guard walking ahead of me and gulped. “I need to use the restroom,” I mumbled, but my voice wasn't loud enough for him to hear. I had to repeat myself to get his attention.“I’ll be right back.” Then I was gone before he could respond.I followed the directions he sent to me, searching for the room number.“What the hell!” I yelled as strong hands wrapped around my wrists and pulled me roughly into a dark room.Who the hell was this?“Are y
Laura. Fuck! Fuck!! Fuck!!! I didn’t need anyone to tell me how much I’ve messed up or how deep in trouble I am. I never meant for any of this to happen, but it did, all because of that devil's spawn. All I wanted was to teach her a little lesson; I had no idea it would escalate into something this severe. I could have imagined many outcomes, but I never pictured this—her on the floor, bleeding out as if I had cut her with a knife. All I did was push her a little when she tried to hug me; how was I supposed to know there was something behind her that would hurt her? I froze after she fell backward and didn’t get up. She had her eyes closed, and for a moment, I thought she was gone. I could almost see myself leaving this world in the same way because of what I had just done. I knew I had to call someone to help her, even though I dislike her with everything inside me. I had to make the call because if I didn’t, my life would be at stake. But my body wouldn’t move; I tried
Jackson. Nicole quickly opened the door when I knocked, and I smiled softly, cradling sleeping Luna in my arms. Lucas had fallen asleep during the drive, so he was still in the car.“Lucas is sleeping in the car. I’ll get him after I drop off Luna,” I explained, noticing the confused look on her face as she glanced around.“Oh, don’t worry, I’ll bring him in,” she said, closing the door behind her as she walked toward the car to fetch Lucas.I watched her do it effortlessly, marveling at her strength. She’s amazing.I didn’t take my eyes off her as she made her way to the house, waiting for her to invite me inside. Who knows, maybe the man from the other night is still here?Jealousy surged through me at the thought of another man being in her house.“You… you can come in,” she said hesitantly.I smiled at her and walked inside, not moving once I reached the living room.“You can lay her on the couch, or would you help me put her in their bedroom?” she asked without looking at me.I
Jackson. What is she talking about? I stared at her, startled by what she had just said. This doesn’t make sense. “I… I don’t understand,” I stuttered. She looked at me and then back inside the room. “I will explain everything to you later on, Mr. Davenport, but right now your daughter needs blood.” Her words felt like they were passing through one ear and coming out the other. How am I not fit to give my daughter blood? I did the test when she was young, and it showed that I was 100% compatible to donate blood to her. What is she talking about? I couldn’t ask her any questions because I didn’t want to delay her. Just like she said, I had all the time later to ask what was going on, but they do not have time to play with Zoe’s life. **** It was an hour later when Laura finally showed up, still looking quite pale. She wouldn’t meet my eyes whenever I looked at her, and I was glad she didn’t, because I didn’t know what I would have done if she had. I glanced over at Lu
