River Lockhart

Damian asks me to stay the night, who I am to say no?

I walk into the living room after taking a shower and wearing his clothes. Linda gives me a side glance, "Almost thought you were my brother, wearing his clothes, but nah. You ugly."

"HUH?!" I gasp at her words, "You are ugly!"

"HOW COME!? Damian and I share the same genes so we are both attractive!"

Damian walks into our argument, not knowing what is going on.

"Well, Damian has the handsome genes and you got the ugly ones." I attack back.

"Oh, yeah?! You got no good genes either."

"You can win the ugliest award!"

"Second place because I can't beat you!"

"Um, what's happening?" Damian asks in confusion.

Linda glares at Damian, "I don't want your boyfriend. Find another person."

"I don't want your sister." I complain to Damian as well.

"Oh, well." he sits on the sofa with laugh, "You two match well."

  • Shadows And Sirens   64. Arrested

    Damian ReidI realise I've actually lost it when I find myself going to River's social media for the first time. He has a considerable number of more than ten thousand followers, and a lot of pictures. I scroll through the first few solo pictures, coming across pictures with Ethan and Lucas.I notice River doesn't have any photos with other people, only his two friends, another guy his age only, no photos with his family at all.I toss my phone to the passenger side seat, a big sigh escaping unwillingly.Just then an alert goes in the police mobile car that I am in, and I quickly switch the accept button, immediately ready to speed up."Officer Damian there's some trouble in XY store. You can handle it without backup." the 9-1-1 service voice says."On my way." I say, siren switched on and racing already.I speed up, using the emergency siren and lights as I arrive at the location in two minutes. I get down from the car, one handcuff in my pocket and the gun ready for any emergency as

  • Shadows And Sirens   63. Call 9-1-1

    Damian ReidI drink a glass of water as soon as I get home."Um... Damian." Linda shows up from behind. When I look at her she avoids my gaze."Yeah?" I ask.Her gaze turns into a glare as she looks at me, "I am moving to stay with Stella if you behave this way for long! Ever Since River's matter came you've been avoiding me and not even talk with me! You are so heartless for avoiding him like this. He came here today and he looked so dejected. I had to ask him to leave because you asked. But I don't like what you are doing.""I already told you many times to stay away from my dating life. It's none of your business." I say, my voice coming too hard.Her eyes fill with tears, "Alright then. Act this way so you lose everyone around you. Just because you had a tough past related to the same underworld work doesn't mean you can categorise River as a demon as you are doing now and ignore him! He loves you too much to deal with y

  • Shadows And Sirens   62. Billiard Table

    River LockhartI trace my finger across the wood of the pool table, Ethan and Lucas are seated on one of the sofas, looking at me in concern. My phone goes to voicemail after dialling Damian's contact number, for the twentieth time."There was a reason why the public hated my family so much." I say, breaking the silence in the game room at the mansion.Ethan looks at me, after hearing everything from me, both of them still remaining by my side. It's only after demanding for a clear explanation did my dad tell me everything he's doing, the number of illegal things he handles uncountable almost."Do you think dad will trust me and let me handle some of his legal businesses if I remain and handle the mess today? If I continue looking after his black businesses?" I ask.Lucas shrugs, "That man is unpredictable."Ethan stands up and walks to the pool table. He takes a red billiard ball from the lot in the middle of the table and

  • Shadows And Sirens   61. Misunderstood

    River LockhartMy hand freezes mid air, looking at Damian who looks at me and then at the gun I am pointing at him. I quickly withdraw, the gun dropping on the ground, my hand that held it shaking a little."I- I am sorry, I-" I stutter out.His eyes move towards Ethan and Lucas, "Get out of here with your friend, I'll have to arrest you if you stay longer.""Y-yeah." Ethan pulls me from behind."Damian-"He cuts me off, "I'll lure out the officers around the corner, just get out of here."He walks past me to the back of the casino while I push Ethan away and run towards Damian. I hold his sleeve and pull him to face me."I didn't know-""I didn't know either." he looks down at me with cold eyes, not ready to listen to me, "I didn't know you could... lie and pretend this much."No words come out of my mouth as he says that. There's a lot to say, lot to apologise about. But what can I say? It sound

  • Shadows And Sirens   60. Run Away

    Damian ReidI run into the casino along with my team members. We've surrounded it with a plan and aim our rifles as we ask the customers not to move. My mind is not in one place as I stand besides the team leader, eyes focusing in and out of the customers, some wearing revealing clothes and some in suits, laughing out their money and gambling as if they grow money on trees."Inspect all the doors and block all the exits!!" the team leader commands us so I quickly walk to the right side of the familiar casino, past the bar where I've met River twice.I tightly hold the rifle in my hands as I stand a little distance away from the back door, ready to check outside and lock it when I notice a middle-aged man wearing a suit, pulling River out of the casino.It feels like a surprise as my eyes stop at his feared and shaken ones. His eyes widen in recognition upon seeing me as he reaches out for the door again but it gets shut from outside. I st

  • Shadows And Sirens   59. The Police

    Ethan Reynolds"This f*cker is Aiden." I point at one of the pictures taken from the CCTV footage, "Look. This smiling b*stard. Ugh... We can't find Chase so suddenly but let's go meet Aiden.""Huh?" Lucas looks at me in surprise, we've just left River's apartment complex and I've been analyzing the pictures from the CCTV footage the whole time."Or I can call him." I announce as I dial Aiden's contact."H-how do you have Aiden's number?" Lucas asks."None of your business." I mutter, waiting for the call to reach Aiden. I can't let Lucas know the actual reason I got Aiden's contact into my phone. It was after the physical fight between our groups that I asked one of my dad's men to get me all details about Aiden and thereby I got everything just in case he reached out to hurt Lucas again."Hello?" Aiden says on the other side."What the f*ck are you up to?" I ask, my voice hard as steel. Lucas turns to me with wide eyes. I ignore him and continue talking, "I am Ethan, River's friend.
