Both Rose and Seth looked at Piers with shock in their eyes. Was Piers afraid of Kingsley?“What? What do you mean?” asked Seth.“Kingsley Aguilar is not only a mafia head, but he is also the richest businessman in the country. If Woolridges have casinos and clubs to their names, you have no idea the amount of property the Aguilar family possess. He not only has power of fear with him, but he also has power of money with him,” explained Piers. Yes, Piers was scared of Kingsley, but he was also in awe of his power and money.“But Piers… he tried to… did you not care about that?” snapped Rose.“Rose! Look at me! I care about you. I care about your life. Do you have any idea what he can do if he finds out that you said something to him to the police? You did the right thing. He can come to kill you and your whole family. The family that built this town up will be wiped out in one swift move. Do you want that? And if you wanted to complain about him, why didn’t you tell everything to the
Rose whipped her head to look at the police officers. She knew that the police were in cahoots with the mafia. The ‘Poena’ gang had been wreaking havoc all over the town. Local people tried to fight back, but the gang members had guns. If not with guns, they used to threaten their family members, and slowly but steadily, everyone fell in line. And now there was a talk of another gang rolling into town. That’s why there were shootings all over the town. And the police were sitting on their ass, twiddling their thumbs.She had no idea which police officer to trust. So she gulped for a second and pondered if she should tell them everything. What if she opened her mouth and the officer ran to that Devil Kingsley to inform him what she said about him? She looked at Piers and Seth. She had to protect them.“No, no, I said nothing about bullets and blood. That is just our inside joke. Why are you here, officers?” lied Rose through her teeth.“Rose!” snapped Seth.“I am fine! I was just disor
Rose’s tears were not ready to stop. She was extremely scared. The man she tried to save and protect was a gang member. People were killed in her bakery. There was blood everywhere. She just wanted to run to Piers and melt in his arms. But she also had to take care of Seth. He must be so worried after seeing all the bullet wounds and blood all around.She waved for a cab and immediately got in. “Roseth Bakery, please!” she cried and wiped her tears off her face.“Are you okay, Miss? Is someone related to yours sick in this hospital?" asked the driver.Rose gulped and realised that she had to lie. She had just run away from the hospital to get away from the mafia gang. She must not tell anyone that she was involved in a shooting. She bit her lips when she recalled that the doctors and the nurses who attended to her were told about her identity. One of the nurses identified her, and she really wanted to curse her life. Why was she famous? Why did her parents come to this town and build
The blackness was the only thing visible to Kingsley. He knew he had to get away from Darcy’s goons, but he could not see anything, could not hear anything. He had no idea where he was. Was he with anyone or just alone, floating in blackness?And then, like lightning, the face of the girl appeared before his eyes. Those beautiful brown eyes, that dark chocolate hair, pearls like tears floating in the corners of her eyes, the gold specks sparkling, her red lips, the sweat glistening on her forehead, everything looked familiar. He knew that girl. He knew those eyes.“ROSE!!” shouted Kingsley, jerked his upper body violently and sat up, breathing heavily.Emerson, who was sitting right next to him in a chair, stood up and ran towards him. “Boss! Boss! You are okay. Darcy is not coming here! Please calm down!” Emerson was trying to push Kingsley back into the bed.Kingsley turned to look at Emerson and, for a minute, kept thinking about what Emerson was talking about. He was still not in
Rose opened her eyes, and she was standing on a street. The loud thunder made her flinch, and a car raced right past her. She had to jump out of the way to protect herself. She looked at the car. Who would drive so recklessly? She wanted to snap at the driver. Then she almost lost her mind. The window of the car shattered, and a little child was flung out.“What? NO!!!” she cried and woke up with a jerk. She was breathing heavily and trying to catch her breath. “What? What? What?” she kept repeating over and over again. She gulped, and after blinking almost a hundred times, she finally looked around. She was sitting on a bed, but everything was strange.The walls were of a strange colour, the bed was strange, even the blanket was strange. She looked at her body. Thank God! Her clothes were hers. But where was she? She blinked again and looked around. She was alone in the room with two chairs and all the equipment she would find in a hospital. She looked behind her, and a monitor was s
The very next second, the man moved his hand again near her skirt and lifted it. He didn’t give her any time to react and pointed his gun at her bare stomach. The gun was hidden under her long, flowy skirt, but the fear she was feeling was clearly visible on her face.The man came closer to her body and buried his nose and his lips in her neck. The moment his lips touched her skin, a sudden jolt ran all over her body. She had never been touched like that. She didn’t know which touch she hated the most, the barrel of the metal touching her stomach or a strange man’s lips touching her neck.Frozen with fear, she just stood in a stationary position, breathing heavily. The man moved her hand in his hair, and she completely surrendered. She started moaning as loudly as she could. She didn’t know if she was doing it right or if she was extremely wrong.“Mmm… hmmm… yes… ahhh…” she kept sounding words, whatever kept coming to her mind. The next second, the door flung open, and two men came in
