Hillary’s POV
I was so devastated by the news, it’s all a lie, it’s just not true, how could this happen to Me, how could he be dead, he is such a good man, so damn perfect. Why do bad things always happen to good people, why is my life so unfortunate and miserable?First, it had been my parents, they hated me so much that they couldn’t bear to bring me up themselves, they had to dump me in an orphanage, leaving me to my fate. I have struggled to get to where I am today, I thought my life is becoming perfect, now I’ve lost the only person that has ever shown me true love and compassion. He had loved me with all his heart, he had shown me how beautiful life can be, now he is gone, leaving me all alone in this house. Am I a magnet for bad luck, why is all this happening to me?No, No Way.I’m not going to listen to anything they are saying, I just won’t believe it. He had promised me that he is coming back for me and I knowNathan’s POVThe next few days were like a living hell for me. I broke a few bones and I lost a tooth that day. My whole body is covered in bruises and it hurts so bad. I could not move any part of my body for the next few days, I would never have survived it if not for Ray.Raymond Hartford…That is his name. I’ve heard of the Hartford’s, I know the role they play in our family, I had no fucking idea that I was going to be given my own personal Hartford. My dad never told me, neither did Gramps. If Ray had not mentioned his name to me, I would never have known that he is from the Hartford family.Many years ago, several generations past, my great grandfather had adopted a young boy named Richard Hartford. He was visiting the orphanage like he always does, then he spotted Richard, sitting by himself, crying his eyes out because nobody wanted to adopt him. As a fifteen years old boy, he was already past the age to be adopted and the orphanage was looking for somewhere to
Hillary’s POV“You don’t have to do this, Hilly. Nobody knows about your marriage with Him, you could get locked up for showing up uninvited and disrupting the burial ceremony. You have to move on with your life and forget about him, he is gone Hills, there is nothing you can do to bring him back.” Miguel pleaded softly, trying to dissuade me from going for Nathans Burial.“I need to do this Miguel, I need to let them know that they are all making a huge mistake. My husband is alive, he is not dead, and even if he was dead, I should be the one making arrangement for his burial, and not that bitch, not that evil witch, Ariel. How on earth do you expect me to sit back and watch her succeed in getting everything that she wants?”She know where he is, she had let them take him because he chose to be with me. I know that she was lying when she said that he was dead, she simply wants me to forget about him and leave, she wants me ou
Still Hillary’s POV“You need to stop calling me Hills, I don’t want to be involved in this matter, I don’t want to die, Hillary, please just go away.”“Avril wait, don’t hang up.” I called out to her, because I know she would hang up on me immediately.“I told you to stay away from me, Hillary, I can’t deal with all this drama in my life, I can’t be seen with you, they will come back for me, they’ll kill me Hills, they’ll fucking kill me.” She sobbed loudly, making me feel even more guilty.“I know Avi, and I wouldn’t have called you if it wasn’t so important. Just hear me out this time and I promise, I’ll never bother you ever again.” I pleaded softly, hoping she hears me out this last time because it may be the very last time I’ll be speaking with her. I have no idea what I’ll be meeting there, Nathan's mom may recall my face, she had seen me lurking around their mansion the other day. She may get me arrested, even before Ariel makes any move on me. She ha
Miguel’s POVWhy can’t she just listen to me, why won’t she just listen?After I stormed out of the room in anger, I went to pick up her car from the hotel where we had abandoned it when those thugs came after us. The plan was to follow behind her and keep watch over her to make sure nothing happens to her. It’s my responsibility as a Hartford, I can't back down now, not after the promise I made to my twin brother Raymond, it’s been more than four months and I still haven’t heard from him, but I won’t give up, I won’t believe whatever the media is saying. His beacon is still turned on, yes the tracker is turned off but it’s still on anyways.Besides, he is a Hartford, we went through the same training, he knows the drill, he knows that if the threat is too great for him to handle alone, he is supposed to use the Hartford’s special flare gun and signal for help. Unlike other flare guns that shoot one bul
Still Miguel’s POV“Keep your eyes open, I need you to look at me. You can’t shut your eyes, just keep your eyes on me, listen to my voice, just listen to me. You’ll be fine, I promise.” I told her softly. I had one hand on the steering wheel while my other hand was stretched towards her, holding her hand. She has lost so much blood and she looks as pale as a ghost.“I… I… It hurts… It hurts so badly, I can’t take it anymore. I… I… I can’t bear it anymore. G… G… Get help Miguel… I… I… I… need help… Help…” She cried out in pain, shivering like a feverish patient. I have been driving around for a good few minutes, yet there was no hospital in sight, none at all. We had left the crime scene just in the nick of time. The cops passed us on their way to the crime scene but they had no idea that we were the culprit, they simply passed by
Hillary’s POVThey say when you die, you’ll see a very bright light, a light that would lead you to a better place. They say you have to follow that light and then you’ll get to your final destination in life.Well, that’s all bullshit!!!I saw no fucking light, none at all. It was just pitch darkness. The darkness was so weakening and frustrating, I could see a thing, not a damn thing. I walked in the darkness for a very long time, searching for something or someone or anything that could explain how I got here and what the hell I’m doing here. The last thing I remember is driving out of the hotel to go and stop them from burying my Nathan when he is still alive. I was going to expose Ariel,Yes, that was the plan. I had discovered that she has a stake in all that is happening to him. I just discovered that she is a cunning both that wants to get married a Trent by all means. I had all the evidence I need to prove that she is
Miguel’s POVI turned my car around heading to the bridge, making all the cars to chase after me. I deliberately took some curves and turns that confused the coos chasing after me, making them crash against each other. Before long, the cars chasing after me reduced considerably, but they never gave up on me, they continued calling for more backup, chasing after me relentlessly.Ariel was nowhere in sight, but I know she is still controlling these guys. I could have the pinging sound on the phones I took from her guys when I accosted them earlier. Her endless messages were on display on the screen of the phone. Her orders were to shoot to kill. With the way she has been desperately trying to kill Hillary, I think she has found out about her secret marriage with Nathan.Her guys are good, too good. I think they use the same procedures as the Mafia, they are very efficient and they get information with lightning speed. There is no information that can be hidd
Ariel’s POVI tried calling her after she dropped the call but she wasn’t taking my calls anymore. I realized that I had acted like a complete jerk when I stopped talking to her. It’s not her fault that her man has a lunatic for an ex, it’s not her fault that he died without telling his family that he is now legally married to her.I shouldn’t have acted so stupidly, I’ve been with her for so many years now, I’ve watched her love him from a distance, falling deeply in love with him. I know how much she loved him, I should have stood by her when she is alone, I should have understood her feelings and stood by her, but I didn’t. I betrayed our friendship by giving up on her when she needed me the most, I did not only leave the country, I stopped taking her calls also, pushing her away from me.When she spoke to me on the phone, she had sounded so sad and from the way she spoke, she made it sound like she is going to be in
