Tony Woods's POV

That was the second time Marcus has amazed me in the space of ten minutes.

If he wasn't my friend, I would have doubted that he was a magician.

I have never witnessed anyone exhibit such brilliance before.

Marcus barely said a word to explain how he managed to call the cops unnoticed.

All he did was smile at me and touch his chest, signaling me to stay calm and that he had everything under control.

Some moments later, I heard the siren of a cab heading towards my company's

  • Secrets and Second Chances    Chapter 70: Bonnie And Clyde

    Susan's POV “What do you think you are doing, Paul? Please put the gun away. It's dangerous. You might pull the trigger accidentally. I know you can be everything, but not a killer. I believe we can solve this amicably,” With my hands above my head, I clamoured for a dialogue. “No, Susan,” he refused to listen to me. “It's too late to make amends now. You created this monster in me when you deprived me of making love to you. All I ever asked of you was a one-night stand,” he lamented like a pregnant woman. He is still dwelling on the sex I denied him when I've moved on from it. It's one hell of an experience I would rather not remember anymore. What happened there could have been avoided if only he had controlled his third. It's quite unfortunate that he decided to think with his penis rather than his brain. Now he's reaping the dividends of his stupidity. After he made that speech, I shut my eyes. I already imagined myself being dead. Instead of the sound of a gunshot,

  • Secrets and Second Chances    Chapter 69: Friends With The Monster

    Susan's POV I've been stuck on this lonely road for God knows how long, and I still haven't found a cab heading home. Everything is just working against me lately. This road is notorious for being very busy on days like this. But today, it's empty and quiet like a cemetery. It's as though Paul paid all the cab drivers to frustrate my life this morning. I can't stop glancing through every corner of the street to keep myself safe. I've heard crazy stories about this particular road in the past. Just a couple of days ago, it was reported that a lady was robbed at gunpoint. And when she tried to fight back, she was forcefully raped and shot in the head. Before that unfortunate incident, some cab drivers repeatedly filed a report to the state police command about how suspected highway robbers had hijacked their cabs. I guess that caused the scarcity of cab drivers on the road. I'm scared that I am about to suffer the same fate. Perhaps, worse than the rape victim. Ever

  • Secrets and Second Chances    Chapter 68: Lion's Den

    Susan's POV “You can't run, Susan. You're dead already. I'd derive pleasure in strangling you to death,” he threatened me and managed to stand up from the bed. Finally, the door opened in my favour after several failed attempts. On the verge of escaping, Paul pounced on me and pulled me back. I tried to fight back, but he was too strong for me to handle. He grabbed me by the neck and restricted my airflow. “Die, you bitch! You don't deserve to stay alive,” “You could have easily given in to my demand. None of this will be happening,” He spat at my face and forcefully kissed me. “Please, let me go. I can't breathe. I don't want to die,” I find it difficult to speak. “I'm sorry. It was a mistake. I never wanted to hit you in the head,” I apologized. A mistake? Hell no! It was on purpose. I would hit him a thousand times again if the opportunity presented itself. However, in this case, I had to compromise. My life is on the line. I just had to cook up some lies to sa

  • Secrets and Second Chances    Chapter 67: Haunted Like Prey

    Susan's POV I'm waiting for Paul to apologize for attempting to force himself on me, and he hasn't said anything yet. It's my fault for expecting an apology from a man who has nothing to offer. I might as well wait for eternity for that to happen. I looked closely into his eyes and all I saw was a man with a clear intention. He's void of remorse. This is definitely a calculated move. I never could imagine that Paul could be capable of such atrocious things. I once compared him to Ethan. I wish I had met him before Ethan. Here I was thinking that Ethan is worse than the devil. I had no idea that I had been dining with the devil all along. Now I understand why he was reluctant to let me go home. He didn't stop insisting that I should spend the night at his flat. Even when Ethan came looking for me, he protected me with his life. “Paul, what the heck are you doing in my room?” I finally let out a voice since Paul is refusing to speak. “I don't recall inviting you over.

  • Secrets and Second Chances    Chapter 66: At Gun Point

    Tony Woods' POV “I'm still waiting, Tony. I bet you would rather not become my first murder victim,” Angela reminded me just when I thought she may have forgotten. She didn't stop putting pressure on me to call the station and order Nicole to be released. Had I seen this version of Angela, I wouldn't have married her. She's a walking red flag! “Where's Kelly? Why is he not here with you? Who's he with right now? Is he missing me?” I digressed despite knowing how intense the situation has become. “Nicole is the biological father of Kelly, right?” I asked again. “Please don't lie to me. I need answers right now,” “Perhaps, we need to have the conversation about how you played a fast one on me. Did you ever love me? Did love-making ever mean anything to you? Or you were just faking an orgasm to please me?” I kept asking intrusive questions. Questions I know that Angela might not be willing to hear. “You're smart, Tony. Figure it out. I believe you have your answers, don't you

  • Secrets and Second Chances    Chapter 65: Men Being Men

    Susan's POV The clouds are getting darker than I expected. It wasn't like this when I first walked in. I had to shut the windows to stop the breeze from penetrating my room. It's just a matter of time before it starts raining heavily. Should that happen, it might ruin my chances of going home first thing in the morning. I'm not a coffee drinker, but I lost sleep trying to cope with the chaos in my life.My life is starting to look like a movie. If it were on Netflix, it'd be the most-streamed series ever recorded in history. The question I kept asking myself is, “How did I find myself in this mess?”One minute, it looked like I had Ethan to myself when he divorced Maria.Leaving her for me was the highlight of my life in recent times. I had finally won the heart of the only man I have ever loved. Ethan was literally my trophy trap. Then out of the blue, Maria shows up with some damn kids to reopen the can of worms. Her return is about to ruin everything I've ever worked so har
