Arriving at the park after driving all through traffic, the cops were around the entire place and people were slowly crowding out to watch whatever that was going on. Carter got out of his car and rushed over there, hoping it was not what he thought, but the scene before him got him dumbfounded. On the floor lay a corpse covered with white cloth, he could not see the face, but he knew who it was, he would recognize that wristwatch he gifted her even in his sleep. It was Grandma Nana lying breathless on the floor. Carter rushed over to the corpse but was stopped by the cops at the crime scene. “ Do not stop me, she is my grandmother!! ” he yelled at the top of his voice, too loud, that they could not comprehend whatever he was saying. But Carter was too furious to let anyone stop him from seeing Grandma Nana one last time. His eyes were filled with rage. He did care who he assaulted, all he knew was that he had to let the pain that filled his heart. “ Nooo…. Get away from her,
Liam wasted no time, neither did he question Carter's instructions. He reversed the car, turned around, and zoomed off to the precinct. Audrey was reaching out from the precinct when she noticed Carter's car drove at full speed, fear gripped her as she wondered what he had to say to her again. “ Come with me! ”. Without deferring her to make a move, he grabbed her arm and started walking towards his car. “ Stop! What are you doing? ” She pulled her arm away, her heart boiling with rage as she bared her teeth. “ I need to speak to you, but I think that we are being watched”. He whispered. “ And you think that getting into your car and going to wherever it would make them not able to see you”. She scoffs, gazing at him with her lower eyelid. “ They are everywhere you go, your home, your office, even your doctors, so stop thinking that you are so smart and can outrun ”.“ This precinct, they are also here, right? ”. Carter asks, and she turns to stare back at the station, she ope
Chloe slowly sipped through the glass of cocktail, exhaled her breath, and her chin lifted into a smile. “ Can we talk now? ” Oliver who sat Calmly asked. “ Sure! Mr. Cornell assured me that you are going to get married to Audrey, can we trust you on that? ”.“ That is the only thing I want from all this charade, to be with Audrey”.“ I have the plan that will make Carter finally come to his senses and forget everything about her, but there should be no mistakes”.“ There is never a mistake from my end”.“ And yet, you let your boys mess up the previous job, Here is the hotel and room number, all we need is that you bring her there and I will do the rest”. Oliver accepts the card from her, he glances at it intensely before speaking again. “ What does Cornell stand to gain from all of this? ”.“ I do not know, and I do not care, all I want is Carter and some shares from his company”.“ But you should be careful, that man Cornelltreatst his son like a tool for his game, he wouldn't
He was the one friend she thought she could rely on that had betrayed her and gritted his teeth about it. Oliver walks calmly over to their table, both his hands in his blue jean trousers that he wore over a white shirt, he seemed calm, but Audrey could see the smirk on his face, making her bare her teeth. “ What are you doing here? ”. She asked as she bit her lower lip. “ I was at your office and was told you went out for dinner, my guess was here; I was right, never thought you were with someone, Kyle, when did you arrive? ”.“ A few days ago and I was welcomed with a brutal attack”.“ What are you talking about? ”. Oliver widened his brows as he took the empty seat next to Audrey. “ You are going to pretend like you do not know that I was attacked, that he sent men to kill me”.“ I never heard of it, that was not Cornell's doing, if he wanted you dead, trust me you'd be dead by now”.“ Is that supposed to make me feel any good? ”. She folded her hands together as she rolled he
By 8:30 pm, Audrey Jayden glammed up in the ball gown Oliver had gifted her, she applied some makeup on her face and oiled her hair before styling it. When she was satisfied with the result, she got on her feet and stared at herself in the mirror on her dresser. The gown was stunning, it was strapless with a fitted bodice that accentuates her curves. The skirt seemed to be made with layers of cascading tulle, giving her a feeling of a princess. The bead work and sparkling crystals added a touch of glamour to it. She picked up a purse, her pace slow and steady as she strides outside the door. Audrey is stunned to see that Oliver is already outside waiting for her. “ Oliver? I thought we agreed on 9:00 pm?”.“ I was so anxious, I couldn't wait to see you”. His gaze slid through her body as he bit his lower lips, his gaze still trailing around her body, leaving her uncomfortable. “ What are you doing, Oliver?”.“ I am sorry, it is just that you look so stunning in this dress, I am
Carter had just arrived at his office early in the morning when Liam scurried in without bothering to knock. “ Liam, don't you think that it is too early to be rude”. Carter spoke with a nonchalant attitude, his eyes fixed on his computer. “ You have to see this! ”. Carter finally held up his eyes and could see the urgency with which Liam had jigged in. “ What is going on? ” Carter asked, but Liam presented the iPad to him. Carter watches profoundly into the picture right before him, and his eyes immediately widen in realization. “ Who is behind this? ”. He got on his feet as he growled, his face burning with rage. “We do not know yet, All I can tell you is that she is still at the hotel and the press are outside waiting for a statement from her”.“ Find out who the hell is behind this, and make sure all the pictures are taken down from every site it was posted”.His voice was hard, his heartbeat growing intense, and he felt like the office was too small to contain his rage. “ Y
Striding out of the bathroom, Audrey had just finished freshening up when her phone rang, She hurried over to it hoping that it was Oliver, but it seemed to be Kyle. “ Kyle, hi ” Audrey! Where the hell are you? ”.“ Calm down, Carter arrived at the hotel and took me out of there through the backdoor”. He heaved a sigh of relief before he spoke again; “ That was a relief, when the press finally left, I rushed up to the room, but you were not there ”.“ I was so surprised when I saw him at the hotel, never did I imagine that he would come to my aid”.“ I guess he still loves you after everything”.“ I am not convinced that is the case, he was mean to me and said he was only after his reputation”.“ So what are you going to do now regarding your reputation and the company? ”.“ First I am going to investigate the man who was in bed with me, and then he can come on national television to confess”.“ You do understand that won't be easy, I mean considering that his face was armed”.“ Wh
Audrey was still feeling dizzy from whatever she was dosed with the previous night, she was halfway asleep when the doorbell rang. Striding over to the door, her eyes widened and beamed with excitement to see Mona. “ Mona! ”. She squealed and hugged her tight. “ How are you here, I thought you moved to Portland? ”.“ Not yet, Grandpa is still making the arrangement, I think that he wants it to be after the funeral”.“ I see… Come in, where is Uncle James? ”.“ He left! ”. She replied before rushing over to the couch, bouncing on it as she giggled. “ I miss! Is this your home, Aunt! ”.“ And I missed you too, what would you like to have? ".“Does this house belong to you, I do not see any of your pictures hung on the wall”.“ No pumpkin, it doesn't belong to me, I am just visiting a friend. Do you like it here? ”.“ It is small, but it is nice here. Why didn't you go to work today? ”.“ I am not feeling too well, enough with the questions' pumpkin, What would you like to have? ”.“
