ANMELDENNicole's POV “You're declared wanted by the federation,” Clara finally ignited my burning rage. I thought it was a fluke until she said. “Are you that blind not to read the handwriting on the fucking wall?” “What did you just say?” I freaked out. The panic spread around my body like a waistline. How I didn't collapse to the news is more than just a miracle. “You are definitely lying, and I am not falling for that,” I doubted her. “You don't know what you're talking about. You've lost your mind. You just haven't found that one person to tell you,” I paced around the lodge as though I were searching for a lost item. Then I went back to her. “I need evidence. I don't believe the words you're saying. You can't start fabricating stories in the head that never happened,” “Did you just call me a liar?” She coughed while still struggling to hold her breath. Seeing how uncomfortable she was, it just dawned on me that I was this close to murdering an innocent lady out of rage. “Y
Nicole's POV This is precisely what I hoped and wished for. Finally, I got what I deserved. Slowly, I pulled out of the garage and stormed outside my car. I wasn't rushing to walk into the reception. Rather, I scanned the entire building, just to be sure no one was watching me from afar. “The coast is clear for me to act fast,” I said to myself before gesturing to the reception. Despite having my gun slotted in my pocket, I was still careful enough not to fall prey to Kane for the second time. “I need a room, please,” I spoke nicely to the receptionist. “How much does a room cost?” She paused to stare at me as though I reminded her of someone. She was motionless as though she had just been electrocuted. “Hey,” I snapped my fingers at the receptionist. “Why are you staring at me like that? Have we met before?” “Nope,” she refuted. “Of course, not. I don't think we've met before.” “Sorry, what did you say again?” She called my attention to my first question. “I
Running Away From Home Nicole's POV How I managed to escape from Kane's web of massive destruction and endless suffering remains a mystery. I can't imagine what would have happened, if he had caught me. Not even the universe would have done anything to stop Kane and lady Dragon from strangling me to death with his bare hands for stabbing him in the back on what could have been the biggest drug heist of all time. For several weeks, I thought I had escaped from Kane when he didn't reach out. I could have sworn that he was ready to forfeit the money. Then suddenly, he showed up out of the blue to revisit the past I had put behind me. It didn't occur to me that Kane would locate my hotel room. The last I checked, I changed my mobile device to stop him from reaching out to me. Several years ago, before Angela got married to Tony Woods, we were both loyal servants to Kane. He used us to carry out some of his shady deals like drug peddling, theft and other notorious crime
Angela's POV “Wait a minute. You stabbed him, an innocent man, just to prove what exactly? How could you even do such a thing? Why are you so cruel?” Nicole berated me after we arrived in our hotel room. Bloody ingrate! I never expected such an attitude from him. I deserve a big hug for my actions. I literally took a huge risk to save his life. I could have got myself arrested in the process, too. Is this the mother fucking thanks I get for spilling the so-called innocent blood just to rescue the one I love? I just risk my life for nothing. Now the cops will be after me. They'd do everything to ensure I am apprehended and thrown behind bars. I had the option of abandoning Nicole at the station and running away with Kelly. I had enough funds to relocate to any city of my choice without the fear of being traced by the FBI or New York police department. But no! What did I do? My love for Nicole dragged me back to come save him. That nasty decision I took has now come ba
Susan's POV “You stopped by at Paul's house?” I stuttered. Words failed me to express how I'm feeling right now. It's as though someone hurled the world on my fucking back. “Yes, I did,” Ethan affirmed. “Are you surprised? Is there something you want to say to me?” “Nah! I'm good,” I denied. As much as I want to admit it, I can't bring myself to tell Ethan what happened at Paul's house. He will never believe me. He'd have every reason to believe that I had sex with Paul. Regardless of how hard I want to explain myself to him, he will still see me as a pathetic liar. “So here's what I found out,” Ethan cleared his throat to speak. He was about to speak further when his phone rang. I felt a sensation of relief in my soul. The call was my saving grace. I needed a bit of distraction away from Ethan and I finally found one. I kept my focus on Ethan, hoping that he would answer the phone. None of that happened. Ethan was hell-bent on having this conversation with me. “Y
Susan's POV I haven't been able to step out of my car since I arrived home. The fear of Ethan is the beginning of wisdom! I am hoping he will be fast asleep already. This ain't the right time to have an altercation with him, especially after what I suffered at the hands of Paul. I haven't recovered from the torture and humiliation he inflicted on me. Escaping from him is more than just a miracle, and I'll forever cherish this moment for the rest of my life. While I tried to figure out a way to avoid Ethan this morning, I glanced at the living room and noticed the lights were off. “Now that's what I am talking about. I love what I'm seeing already,” I sighed. That's the sign I need to believe that Ethan isn't awake. “But what do I say to him when he starts asking questions about my whereabouts all day?” That has been my major worry. It would have been a different ball game if I had reached out to Paul to update him on my movement for the day. And when he kept blasting my
Tony Woods POV“Yes, your wife, Mr. Woods. And you might want to pay attention to me to experience a longer life span. Kicking us out of your office might be detrimental to your existence.” Paul said to me. His utterances conveyed so much authority I hadn't witnessed before.I saw a different Pa
Susan's POVInstead, he took his time to console me. “I hate to see you like this. I wished there was something I could have done to help out. Unfortunately, my Uncle decided today of all days to hate me,” “What did you do to him? It took a while for you to notice. His actions towards you showed
Susan's POV“Not while I am still here. I never asked you to excuse us. You ain't leaving until I say so. You are part of this family. If she can't speak in front of you, then the exit door is hers to use,” he mocked me despite not speaking to me directly. Ethan's Father turned out to be a stum
Susan's POV“Mom, where have you been? Dad and I have searched everywhere for you. Thank goodness I found you now. Can you please sing for me until I fall asleep?" the little boy spoke to the Lady. When he referred to her as his mother, I knew something was wrong. It confirmed the suspicion insid
