LOGINNicole'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
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,
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.
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 w
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 m
Tony Woods' POV As Angela approaches our direction, my impatience gets the best of me. “Go after her now,” a voice said to me. “Don't sleep on it,” “Do you wish to see her escape? Won't you love to see her suffer for what she did to you?” For the second time, the voice spoke to me. I chose no
