登入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
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.
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
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
Tony Woods' POV “You really don't have to do this, Angela. I believe we can settle this amicably,” I spoke in a low tone. It's the least I can do now. Angela has the dagger, which gives her a bigger advantage. Just a slip-up from me and I'll end up with a bleeding neck. I know Angela too well. She won't hesitate to stab me to death should I try to do anything stupid. “Shut the hell up and drive. I would rather not argue with you at this time. Don't get me pissed off,” she yelled at me. The constant disrespect is getting on my nerves. Angela never, for once, treated me like this when we were married. Where she got her audacity to speak so ill of me is sickening. She won't stop scanning the station just to be sure the cops aren't coming from anywhere. “Angela, what do you want? Just name your piece, and I'll get it done,” I vowed. That's fear speaking through me. Blame it on the dagger placed around my neck. I'd be willing to do anything to save my life, even if it mean
Tony Woods' POV It's been over ten minutes since I arrived at the interrogation room with Patrick and no one has uttered a word yet. I spent the last couple of minutes strolling around as though I were searching for a lost item. All eyes are on me to break the silence since the case is about me. I try not to stare at Sean and Nicole for too long. Seeing their disgusting faces increases my hatred for them. I have already made a promise to Patrick not to do anything stupid, and I'm willing to keep my word. I would rather not be considered a man without integrity. “Okay?” Patrick cleared his throat to speak. “Is this the point where you start talking already? You should know what's at stake here,” I guess he's sick and tired of seeing me wander—still, I have no words or actions from me, despite Patrick's urging me to speak up. I practically ignored Patrick and made him feel invisible. “Tony?” Marcus called my name in an angry tone. It was just my name that was mentioned, b
Tony Woods's POVI could recall getting into a huge fight with my son because he kicked against my marriage to Angela. He tried to make me understand that Angela never loved me, but I ignored him, saying he was drunk. My ex-wife said the same thing. Unlike my son's advice, My ex-wife revealed how
Tony Woods's POV“Who's calling your phone at this hour?And don't you dare lie to me because I'm going to find out,” I challenged Sean. I didn't give him a chance to speak up first, knowing that he would lie. “It ain't my phone. Why are you probing me? You should check yours.Or don't you have
Tony Woods POV“Sir, I hope you do know that you're the one delaying this investigation, right?I wouldn't want you to play the victim card when the table gets turned in your favor. For crying out loud, it's getting late, and we haven't done anything significant,” Marcus told me, even when I warn
Tony Woods's POV“Can someone please say something already? Don't fucking sit here and do nothing while I die in silence. Have you two known each other before?” I lost my cool and yelled at them. The silent treatment was beginning to mess with my head. They made it seem like I was insane when no
