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
Secrets and Second Chances Chapter 64: Cloak and Dagger
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
Secrets and Second Chances Chapter 63: Small Talks
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
Secrets and Second Chances Chapter 37: Unleashing The Dragon
Tony Woods POV“What the hell are you doing, Susan? That wasn't the plan, and you know that. Why did you fuck deviate from what we discussed at home? Do I need to remind you of everything?” Paul berated Susan for making such a bold statement.“Oh, come on Paul. Cut me some slack! What do you me
Secrets and Second Chances Chapter 36: Revisiting The Past
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
Secrets and Second Chances Chapter 34: Digging The Pit For Angela
Susan's Point Of View “That's the shit I'm referring to," I gave him a high five out of excitement.My Joy knew no bounds. I could feel some butterflies in my belly as though I just won the lottery. “You should know your room already. Today has been hectic. Tomorrow promises are even bigger,” P
Secrets and Second Chances Chapter 33: Tackling Angela's Brilliance
Susan's POV“Did you witness what just happened? Or am I imagining things that aren't real?” Paul asked me shortly after Angela's departure. I couldn't respond to his question immediately because I had divided attention. It was as though my eardrums were damaged. My body was with Paul, but my mi
