THEODORE

The first thing Theodore became aware of was the sound of a television.

He was only hearing every other word at first, the sounds muffled and distorted, as though it were reaching him from the other side of a dream.

Consciousness returned in fragments - the sharp scent of antiseptic filling his nostrils.

His muscles were stiff, and there was a dull ache that seemed to inhabit every part of his body.

The steady beeping of hospital machines rang in his head, making him open his eyes slow

  • The Billionaire Behind My Divorce   A NEW STORY

    ALICIAEIGHT MONTHS LATER.Life had settled into something Alicia scarcely recognized.Peace.Not perfect peace, because she had learned long ago that such a thing did not exist, but something close enough to make her grateful whenever she paused enough to notice it.The mornings belonged to Tobey.They always did.The condominium she now called home woke each day to the sound of little feet racing across hardwood floors, to cartoon theme songs playing too loudly from the television, to forgotten shoes, unfinished breakfasts, and endless questions about things no adult could reasonably be expected to know.“Mom?”“Yes baby,”“Do dinosaurs prefer pancakes or waffles?” He asked with all seriousness, kicking his feet back and forth under the counter.“Uh.. waffles, I think.”“ Do clouds get lonely?” He asked after swallowing another bite of his pancakes. “Do superheroes pay taxes?”Alicia stopped trying to understand the logic behind them.Instead, she laughed.“We’ll research that when y

  • The Billionaire Behind My Divorce   IT'S ALWAYS RAINING

    THEODOREWillow eyes drifted past Alicia, resting on Theodore.When their eyes met no words were exchanged.None were necessary.There was an acknowledgment there. A silent understanding between two people who cared for Alicia in entirely different ways.He had never really known Willow. Not the way he knew the rest of her family. He always saw her as the stereotypical rich girl who pretended to have opinions on everything but was too shallow to relate to anything.Her internet fame was solely tied to her Rutherford name, and it didn’t seem like she had any other ambitions.Watching her with Alicia, he still couldn’t believe they were sisters. They had nothing in common apart from the last name.Yet now, with Willow’s features softened by grief, the gentleness of her movements and a dim countenance, coupled with that weary smile, he actually saw the resemblance.Willow gave a small nod, taking a step back from Alicia and Theodore returned it. She said something else to Alicia before

    ALICIAThe day arrived beneath a sky the colour of ash. Soft winds blew in the morning, carrying leaves and fallen petals whichever way it went.Alicia stood among mourners dressed in black, staring at the polished coffin resting beneath a canopy of white flowers, and found herself unable to reconcile the stillness before her with the brother who had wrapped her in his sweater.How many losses could fate test her heart with before being satisfied?The worst possible outcome of any situation was the one she always dealt. Raised by parents who despised her, married off to a psychopath who detested her, and just when a glimmer of hope shone in her dark life, fate couldn’t leave it alone.She blamed herself, bitterly cursing her every action that led up to his death.‘I should never have left Uncle Wu’s. I should never have even been there. I should never have taken Tobey and ran. I should never have left… Levi.’That’s right. She managed to convince herself that one life had just been tr

    THEODOREThe first thing Theodore became aware of was the sound of a television.He was only hearing every other word at first, the sounds muffled and distorted, as though it were reaching him from the other side of a dream.Consciousness returned in fragments - the sharp scent of antiseptic filling his nostrils.His muscles were stiff, and there was a dull ache that seemed to inhabit every part of his body.The steady beeping of hospital machines rang in his head, making him open his eyes slowly.He gazed at the white ceiling for a while, trying to remember. Ahead of him, the white walls offered no hints, and the sounds from the television only grew irritating.From the smells and the white, and the aches at different parts of his body, he finally deduced he was in a hospital.Gradually, memory returned, tightening his chest with every scene. It seemed to play vividly on the white ceiling above him. He stared as he watched; the warehouse, Levi, the gun.Liam.The television continued

  • The Billionaire Behind My Divorce   TRIBUTE

    ALICIAAlicia did not remember climbing over the barricade.One moment she was screaming Liam's name from behind the crates Theodore had hidden her behind, and the next she was stumbling across the warehouse floor on shaking legs that barely felt attached to her body.The world had dissolved into noise, the sound of her own heartbeat, the ringing in her ears, the distant struggle between Theodore and Levi, the sharp, metallic scent of blood."Liam!"She dropped to her knees beside him.The concrete bit painfully into her skin, but she scarcely felt it.Her eyes were fixed on the spreading crimson stain beneath him, watching it grow larger with every passing second as though the floor itself were drinking him away from her.Behind her, Theodore reached Levi and tackled him with enough force to send both men crashing to the ground. The gun skidded across the warehouse floor one final time, spinning uselessly before disappearing beneath a stack of crates.But nothing existed beyond Liam.

  • The Billionaire Behind My Divorce   LIAM

    THEODOREThe shot resounded throughout the warehouse, echoing both within and beyond its walls.Levi's stance was poor, his grip unsteady, and so his aim was faulty.Theodore easily dodged it, rolling to the left."Stop this!" he barked at Levi.But the deranged man only laughed harder, following him with the gun.He missed every single shot he fired, but he kept laughing, entertained by Theodore's scrambling.Theodore looked over at Alicia, still tied to the chair between the two men. She was far too close, well within range and close enough to fall victim to the thoughtless bullets of the gun-wielding maniac.He'd never imagined this.Rescuing his princess from a tower had never played out like this. Then again, not every fire-breathing dragon had scales.He had to think quickly and move even quicker.He watched Levi closely. The man was almost completely gone, staggering through stances and fumbling his grip around the gun as he pulled the trigger again and again. The bullets had t
