Nora’s POV I peeled another apple and placed it on the tray next to the hospital bed. The room was small and dim, with a window overlooking the city. The only sounds were the beeping of the machines and occasional footsteps in the hallway. The female cop lying there looked pale and weak, but she still managed to smile at me. “Thank you, Nora. You are very kind.” She said in a raspy voice. I shook my head. “No, thank you. You saved my life. You are the one who is kind.” She waved her hand dismissively. “It was nothing. Anyone in my position would have done the same. You don’t have to stay here with me, go home to your kids, they need you more than I do.” She muttered. I frowned. “I can’t leave you alone, you are hurt, and you need someone to look after you.” She heaved a sigh, sounding tired. “I’m fine. Really. My boyfriend will be here any minute. He will take care of me.” I bit my lower lip. I didn’t like the way she said that. There was something in her tone that made me unea
Alpha George’s POV I was fucking done with her, I couldn’t stand the sight of her clothes in my closet anymore. The ones she wore when she kissed me goodbye when she said she loved me, and when she lied to me, I grabbed them all and threw them into the luggage that Jack was holding for me. He knew what I was going through. He didn’t say anything, he just helped me get rid of her stuff. I moved to the nightstand and saw her perfume, the one that used to drive me crazy. I picked it up and sprayed it on myself, hoping to feel something. But all I felt was anger and disgust. I tossed it into the luggage and swept the rest of her things with my arm. Her makeup, her jewelry, and her hairbrush All the things that reminded me of her. Jack zipped up the luggage and was about to take it out when we heard the door slam. We turned around and saw her standing there, looking shocked and confused. She had a guilty look on her face, the one she always had when she knew something was wrong. “Alici
Nora’s POV I was sitting behind my desk, watching the CCTV footage that was in front of the toilet at the police station. I was watching the video of the man who attacked me. He was wearing a ski mask that covered his face, so I couldn’t tell who he was, but there was something about his build. I could swear he was someone I knew, but I couldn’t place my hand on it. My office was a mess, but I liked it that way. It was filled with clues and pictures of different crimes, some solved, some unsolved. They were pinned to the walls, stacked on the shelves, and scattered on the floor. The sun was shining through the window, casting warm light on my face. It was a beautiful day, but I was livid about the fact that the cops still hadn’t caught the man in the video. I took a sip of my coffee next to me and was still looking at the video when a loud noise from outside my office caught my attention. I sauntered out of my office to see what was happening and was surprised to see my big boss,
Nora's POVHe leaned in and wrinkled his brow. “I like the sound of that,” he said with a smile. I rolled my eyes at him. “This isn’t the time to flirt, we leave tonight,” I said, poking him in the chest. He grabbed my finger from his chest and kissed it softly with his plump lips. “Anything for you, baby," he whispered in a seductive voice and winked at me. I felt a thousand butterflies in my stomach, and a tingling sensation ran through my finger. I pulled my hand out of his grip and picked up his coffee from the desk, handing it to him. “Take, leave, we are going to talk about this later, okay?” I asked, looking into his eyes. He collected the coffee from me. He turned and walked out of the office without looking back. I knew he was still trying to be patient with me, but I had no idea if I wanted to be in a relationship right now, not with all this shit happening. I was about to scatter the pictures when my phone rang. The loud ringing broke the silence. I picked it up without
Alpha George’s POV I hated breakfasts with my family. They were always tense and awkward, especially since the family had been divided and I knew I was alone. I was eating my salad in silence, trying to ignore the glares of my father and the pity of my mother. Rick, who was usually the only one who tried to make a conversation, was quiet today too. He had a sad look in his eyes and was struggling to catch a slice of meat in his fork. It was as if he had lost the love of his life. “Do you think he loved Alicia?” Knight inquired. “Hell no, Rick doesn’t love anyone, he doesn’t have the ability to love, if he does, you wouldn’t see him with different chicks all the time. He has never really had a serious girlfriend, it’s almost as if someone broke him, it’s not like I care.” I remarked and shoved a spoon full of salad in my mouth. I loved eating healthy so I could live long enough to control the pack. My phone rang, breaking the silence. I fished it out of my pocket, glanced at the
Nora’s POV I zipped up my leather pants and pulled on my long-sleeve black shirt. I checked myself in the mirror and adjusted my black face mask. I looked like a ninja, but I didn’t care. I was going to catch the claw killer, and that was all that mattered. “Mom, are you going on a date?” Asher asked, walking into my room. He looked adorable in his SpongeBob pyjamas, and his grey eyes were glowing in my dimly lit room. I smiled and squatted at his level. “No, sweetie, I’m not going on a date. I’m just going out with Zane, that’s all.” “You know, if you make him your boyfriend, Matt and I won’t have a problem with that, right?” he persisted. “Uh, I know, but he is just a friend, and you don’t have to know everything. Now, go to bed, okay? It’s past your bedtime.” “Alright, mom. Have fun with him, and do not forget to come back early.” Asher hugged me and ran back to his room. I let out a sigh and grabbed my purse from the nightstand. I headed for the main door and was abou
Alpha George’s POVMy head was throbbing, and my mouth was dry. I tried to open my eyes, but they felt heavy and sore. I could hear faint voices, muffled and distorted. I strained to listen, hoping to find out where I was and what was happening to me."...have to kidnap him...going to make him take me back..." A familiar voice, sweet and soft, said, I could tell it was Alicia's."...wouldn't take you back...broke up with you...going to help you get him back...trust me..." Another voice, deep and gruff, but with a hint of madness and cruelty. It was Alicia's father, he was a very dangerous man and also a criminal mastermind. In the past, he had been involved in drug trafficking, human trafficking, and murder. They were talking about me as if I was a prize to be won, a toy to be played with, or a pawn to be manipulated."This is what you get for getting engaged to his daughter all in the name of love when we both know she was chosen by your father and you had to accept her to please him
Nora’s POV We sneaked into the park, avoiding the security cameras and the guards. We reached the tree and started to look around for any clues. It was hard to see anything in the dim light, but I noticed a small red button at the foot of the tree. I touched it, curious to see what it could do. Suddenly, a small passage opened up in the tree, revealing a goddamn dark tunnel. I gasped in surprise and stepped back to look at it. Zane's eyes widened in shock as he saw the passage. He grabbed my arm and pulled me back. “Wait a minute, Miss Famous. Don’t go in there it could be a trap.” He remarked. “Let me go first, I am the cop, remember?” he said, flashing his badge. I rolled my eyes at him. He always acted like he was the man, and I was the damsel in distress. He forgot that I was a photographer and that I had seen my fair share of danger. I wanted to go in there and see what was inside. Maybe we could find the claw killer or some evidence. I heaved a sigh and pinched my nose clos
