Audrey walked and walked until her legs started to ache.

How could that jerk leave her in the middle of nowhere?

Cars hardly passed by and the few cars that passed didn’t stop for her.

The last 24 hours had to be the most bizarre hours of her life.

She slept with a man for money.

She sold her virginity for 100,000 dollars.

She wanted to cry as she recalled her mother’s lifestyle.

After making so many promises not to turn out like her mom.

She couldn’t believe she did something like this.

She blinked back her tears.

She wasn’t a slut.

She wasn’t cheap.

She had not turn out like her mother.

Audrey desperately tried to console herself.

She only did this to prevent her future from getting ruined,completely.

She would be alright.

She will move on and forget that ever happened.

She would completely forget that she ever met a man like that asshole.

After walking for quite some time,she finally got to a spot where seemed like a small marketplace.

Her reflection from a store window caught her attention.She was still beautifully dressed and it only reminded her more of what had happened to her since last night.

Wanting desperately to forget about it,she decided to change out of these clothes.

She hurried into the store and into their restroom.Audrey took off the clothes from her body.

She changed into one of her old clothes and washed off her make up.She also took off the expensive jewelries.

Sighing, she stared at herself in the mirror.

Yeah.

This was the real her.

She was a good girl.

She would not let that one night haunt her forever.

She was still a good girl,a good person.

She stared at the clothes,sandals and jewelries on the floor.

What should she do with them?

Should she sell them?

No.Selling them would only make her feel cheaper than she already felt.

She decided to just leave them there.

Then she headed for her father’s place.She would give this cheque to Matilda and she will never step her feet in that house again.

She would never give them the opportunity to play with her life again.

***************

Matilda was shocked to the bones when Audrey handed the cheque to her.

Never in a million years had she imagined that Audrey could get the money.

“How did you…?Where?How did you get this money?”

“I don’t think that should be your concern.You better make sure it’s delivered to that man.I am not going to be his wife and if you desperately need someone to trade with,use Talia.I’m never setting my feet in this house again.”

Matilda sprang up to her feet.

“What about your father?Are you going to make his take up his responsibilities?”

“You could try doing that.He’s your husband, afterall.”

“He’s your father!And don’t you dare forget who had made him bankrupt.”

“I would not let your guilt-trip me into taking care of this family’s expenses anymore.I’m not the reason my father went bankrupt and I refuse to believe that I have bad luck.I’m going to live my life and I’m going to live well!”Audrey sworn and stormed out of the house.

Just as she walked down the street.

She wondered how she was going to live well and her heart sunk.

She didn’t even have anywhere to go.

Her best friend,Tracy crossed her mind.

She might be back from vacationing with her boyfriend.

Audrey quickly gave Tracy a call and Tracy indeed informed her that she was back.

So Audrey headed for Tracy’s place.Tracy lived off-campus and had a roommate,Becca who was also friends with Audrey.

***************

When Audrey got to Tracy’s place.She told both girls what she had happened with Josh.

She left out the part where she had slept with someone for money.

She really didn’t want to be judged right now.

“Megan,that snake.She barely sticks to one guy.It’s as if she wants to date all the guys in the world.”Becca let out.

She never liked Megan even if Audrey had been friends with her.

Megan had been nice to Audrey and Audrey had thought she genuinely wanted to be her friend.

“I was such a fool.I can’t believe she only wanted to be friends with me so she could get closer to Josh.And I had no idea.”

“It’s okay,Audrey.And you shouldn’t blame yourself for anything.Josh is the foolish one here and trust me,a real man can’t be stolen.Since he was swayed by that bitch,then it’s just a sign that he wasn’t meant to be in your life.”Tracy advised.

Audrey sighed, sadly.

“What are you going to do now?You said you had a fallout with your stepmom?”Becca probed,concerned.

“You can stay here for the meantime until you get things figured out,Aud.”Tracy suggested.

“Really?”Audrey asked,touched.

She didn’t want to be a bother but she really had no choice right now.

“Yes.”Becca agreed.”And girl,you shouldn’t sit there sulking anymore.Let’s go partying,that will definitely cheer you up.”

“No,I can’t…”

“Aud,you need this and don’t worry.I’ll make sure you have a nice time.”Tracy coerced.

Audrey sighed,she really needed to have some fun to get her mind off a lot of things.

And so the three girls got dressed and hit a club.

**********

As the walked into the club, seeing how lively everywhere was, Audrey was suddenly in the mood to drink and dance.

“I called ahead and got us a VIP booth.”Tracy announced.

“Yes!”Becca squealed.

The girls made their way over to the private table.

As they approached their table,they heard a familiar voice.

“Josh,come over here,baby!”

“Shit!”Becca let out catching sight of Josh and Megan.

“What is it?”Audrey asked as Becca tried to block her vision.

But she caught sight of them already.

    “What does that even mean?”“He had a strange obsession with Lucien. Everything Lucien did, he wanted to do. Everything Lucien had, he wanted to have. There was one year that he intentionally matched everything Lucien wore. He used to tell everyone that they had the same middle name. He even started talking to another girl in our class named Mia just because that was Lucien’s girlfriend’s name. I never liked him.”“Lucien never noticed this?”Mark let out a long, heavy sigh.“What you need to understand about Lucien, especially at that age, is that he was hungry for validation. Starving for it. If anything, all that strange attention made him feel important. To be perfectly honest, there may even be a good chance he didn’t even notice it. He was so wrapped up in Mia… his world didn’t have capacity for anything else.”Audrey felt small for a moment.“He really loved her, didn’t he?”Mark glanced at her for a moment and noted the sadness in her eyes.“He thinks he did. That wasn’t love,

    “We saw that sexy ass car out here, and Nathan got the keys to go move it,” another young officer explained with tears in eyes and panic in his voice. “We all wanted… we all wanted to see. But when he turned the key… when he turned the key…” the young man sobbed. “Some people were too close and got caught in the explosion.”Captain Whitlock looked over at Lucien.“I think you were already bait and didn’t even know.”It was as though he was moving through sand. Nothing registered. Nothing clicked. Not the unnatural metal of the handcuffs as they tightened around his wrists. Not the officers’ angry voices as the read him his rights, or the rough hands that pushed and shoved him into a cell. Not when those cell doors slid home with a loud, echoing clang. Captain Whitlock tried to stop the way they were mishandling him. But they had lost one of their own. A young man who was vibrant and full of life, at the beginning of his career.Another one. Because of me?“I get one phone call. I need

    Lucien’s eyes flashed up at the captain, filled with anger and anguish.“She contacted me while I was in Italy,” he almost snarled.“After you and Audrey had just been married?” Captain Whitlock raised an eyebrow.“Don’t judge me. There were… circumstances about that marriage. Either way, I didn’t want to see her. But she said that she needed someone to keep her from… Hurting herself.”The irony. She had run to him once to prevent that. But in the end, she had forced him to witness it. His eyes were dark and stony as he fought to keep his emotions in check. Part of him wanted to give in. To breakdown and just give in to himself. Anything to make these feelings go away forever.Captain Whitlock softened as he realized what was going on in Lucien’s mind.“Sorry. Why was she seeking such an intense escape?”“She was running from him. She said their marriage was in shambles and that things had gone horribly wrong, that he was cheating on her.”“That was it? He wasn’t hurting her?”“She sa

    “Philip Carson”The name hung in the air between them, like a two-ton brick. After all this time, Ghost had a name. Now the hunter, could become the hunted.“Holy shit,” the captain fell back into his chair. All the air left his lungs. “That punk? That punk is Ghost?”“You know him?” Lucien’s eyes almost fell from his head.“I had him. Right here in this office years ago,” Captain Whitlock seethed. “Right there!” he shouted and kicked his chair across the room. “Ghost was right there!”“What the hell for?”“That piece of shit kid was always getting into trouble. Vandalism, petty theft, property theft, arson… all kinds of stuff. Typical spoiled rich boy shit. No offense. I always knew that kid was disturbed. He had no remorse for anything. The only thing he ever regretted was getting caught”“This was before he became Ghost obviously.”“Well, yes. But do you know that this means?”“What?”“It’s insanity. It’s the most oversimplification of anything that has ever happened.”“What?” Luci

    He began spending most of his time at the building. “Command” they’d been calling it. Eugene and Mia couldn’t be trusted. The first prisoner,Racheal…Rebecca … whatever her name was, was being beaten even though he had given explicit instructions that she was not to be touched. And Mia could not at all be trusted with the other one. God, what was that one’s name? Ava? Avery? It was something with an “A”he was certain. Either way, it didn’t matter. They had to keep them both alive and the two overly emotional idiots he was working with were going to mess it up.Lucien was supposed to do a press conference and announce that he was relinquishing the company over to his cousin. The press conference was Eugene’s idea. He wanted a public take down and humiliation of his cousin. He was all for anything that made Lucien suffer. This plan wasn’t going to work. But he was interested to see how it would unfold.They planned to watch the press conference together. After it, his plan was to slink
