Ninety-Nine Missed Calls Chapter 10
Vincent tried to refuse to eat. He even tried to end his life by biting his tongue when he first got there. I had the doctors feed him through a tube and watch him around the clock. They tied him down and put a soft cork in his mouth."Want to die? It won't be that easy," I said, watching him struggle from outside his ward. "You're going to live and use every second to make up for what you've done."Every day, I made sure someone read him the newspaper, morning and night. He heard about how I was taking over business and gangs, how I was the star of fancy parties, and how I was admired by everyone.I wanted him to see how bright I shone without him."Queen dazzled at tonight's charity dinner in her custom-made gown, dancing with the mayor," the caregiver read emotionlessly.Vincent's tears fell silently, and he sobbed quietly. Vincent, once strong and in control, was lying helpless with high-level paralysis, unable to manage even his most basic needs.He, who used to fuss over ev

Jenny tried to get away, but Vincent held her still. "You'll be part of this new building, strong and lasting."Jenny found herself in the soft cement. The cement was like thick mud. She tried to climb out, but it was like quicksand. Finally, all of her disappeared into the grey mix.Everything was silent.Vincent was a mess.He turned to me with his head bowed. He knocked his head against the wall, looking very sorry."Alice, she's gone. I did it for you. Please... just look at me."He looked so sad, like a lost puppy.I was looking at him. However, I did not say a word."Disgusting."That was all I said.I walked away, leaving him alone with his tears.…The next day, my lawyers went to Vincent's company. Vincent did not try to stop them. He signed the papers they brought. He gave up the company he worked so hard for. Just like that, it was mine.[Alice, I need to see you one last time.]That was the message he sent. He wanted to meet at Mom's grave. When I got there, I

Vincent lay there, badly hurt.Jenny, who had seemed so gentle before, suddenly looked fierce. She kicked Vincent aside and whipped out a gun. Her moves were quick, her eyes dark and dangerous. She aimed the gun right at my head."What fools." Jenny laughed so hard that she started to cry. "After playing this game for so long, I'm exhausted."She ripped away her fake sweet facade to show a scary snarl. "I'm the secret daughter of the leader of Black Thorne, Raymond Thorne. Vincent, you wiped out my family five years ago and killed my dad. Did you think I'd forget?"Vincent stared at her as his hand bled, his face full of disbelief. "Jenny... You...""Be quiet!" Jenny's eyes burned with anger. "I was going to just end you, but then I saw that you had fallen for a regular woman."She poked my head with the gun. "Alice is your soft spot, the part of you that's still human. Killing you would be too easy. I knew I had to crush your spirit! I planned the kidnapping of Alice's mom. I ma
Ninety-Nine Missed Calls Chapter 7
The following week, Vincent's places got hit one by one—casinos, docks, weapon stores. I knew the gang well and hit him where it hurt most. He was running himself ragged.However, Vincent had given a strict order. No one could fight back. No one could touch me, not even a hair.He took my revenge quietly, like he was asking for punishment, hoping I would forgive him.Jenny was freaking out. She knew she was done for if I was around, so she went behind the scenes and got in touch with what was left of the Black Thorne. She was trying to set up another hit.I had been keeping an eye on Jenny's messages for quite some time. I was ready to turn her own plan against her.I let slip where I was going on purpose, just to catch Jenny.…In the old, empty factory, Jenny showed up with more than ten hitmen. They trapped me right in the middle."Alice, you're so lucky. Not even a bomb could take you out," she said. She was waving a gun around, looking way too pleased with herself."This
Ninety-Nine Missed Calls Chapter 6
It was Felix Lewis. He was my father's most trusted Consigliere until his last breath.After Vincent seized control and got rid of the old guard, Felix vanished with the final secret weapon my father had left behind.Felix crouched down, ignoring the muck. With shaking hands, he lifted me from the sludge."Ms. Hoffman, I'm so sorry I'm late! Vincent thinks he's the king around here, but he doesn't realize the true throne has always been yours to claim."Only you can access the billions in war funds your father left at Swarthe Bank and call back the loyal fighters from around the world. Just give the word, and I, along with three thousand fighters, will be the sword of your vengeance."…A year passed.Vincent was a changed man. He turned cruel, dark, and unpredictable. He preserved my room and sat there alone every day, speaking to thin air. He was a shell of a man.Meanwhile, a mysterious group known as Nemesis quickly rose to power. They struck down the Black Thorne with ligh
Ninety-Nine Missed Calls Chapter 5
Flames shot up into the sky. The figure he had left there was swallowed up by the raging fire.Vincent's report fell from his hands and onto the ground. He turned around, frozen. He could only stare at the fiery sea where no one was left.The realization that Mom really died and that I was dead too crashed together in his mind.Something inside him broke. He opened his mouth and coughed up blood.He let out a wild, heartbreaking scream and collapsed into the hot dust.Vincent lost it. He shoved past the bodyguards who tried to hold him back and ran into the rubble."Alice! Alice!"He dug through the burning ashes with his hands. His hands turned black from the burns, with pebbles sticking to his skin, but he did not even feel the pain. He kept whispering my name.Jenny stood back at a safe distance, watching Vincent's wild actions. She was scared. She tried to go to him. "Honey, stop digging. Everything's turned to ash… She didn't escape on purpose. She wanted you to feel bad..
