LOGINBang!The sound of the gunshot filled the café , I slowly opened my eyes but I felt a sharp pain in my right arm. I looked down to see blood slowly spreading over my shirt. I quickly put pressure on it . Thank God the bullet only grazed me and not actually penetrated my arm ."Fuck!" I mutteredEvery thought of Ethan flew out of the window. I didn't want him to get hurt because of me again."Ok, it seems you took that well" uncle Joe's voice brought me back to reality from the world of pain. "So You're going to sign the damn papers.""I won't sign anything." I groaned, the pain in my arm wasn't doing any good to my current situation."Maybe I should just make your pathetic Father will everything to me. Why didn't I think of that before." He said.One of the ugly guards rushed in and whispered something into uncle Joe's ears. And his smile broadened."Or I could just kill your boy toy. What do you say about that?"He raised his head and nodded towards his guard. I turned to look and my
I could feel my hands literally shaking, as I walked towards the building my Uncle decided to meet me at an old cafe after so many back and forth. He sounded annoyed on the phone call, he was confident no one can harm him, then why was he hiding. Uncle Joe was never married, at least not that I’ve heard of. Come to think of it he truly is evil. He's old, lonely and bitter, probably because of his terrible lifestyle. Ethan was already in the flower shop close to the café. We had another round of argument about my meeting with my uncle before we left the house. “I told you I’ll be fine , we’ve talked about this like a million times already.” I told him “You don’t know what’s in your uncles head.” He said. He had me put on a smart glass even after Noah gave me a smart pen which had a recorder and camera. He also had a tracking device installed into my wristwatch and one that looks like a button at the top part of my suit shirt making it look like just as regular extra button. And tha
The thought of being used as bait for my slimy uncle scares the shit out of me. But after coming this close to losing Ethan, after watching him collapse in my arms, blood staining my hands, it gave me strength. we already agreed no more running. If something ever happened to him because of me again, I wouldn’t survive it. That was scarier than anything my uncle could do. And to think my father couldn't do anything to stop his idiotic brother from harming his son. “So what do I do to lure my uncle out?” I asked, looking directly at Noah. Ethan doesn’t support the plan one bit. It’s obvious from the look on his sexy, annoyed face,like the idea physically offends him. I don’t blame him. My uncle is so shameless that he would go to any length just to make Blackwood Empire his. “You’ll ask him to meet up. It would be at an open place like a café,” Noah said. “He’s definitely going to be taped so we can see and hear whatever will go on there.” Ethan’s voice came out sounding fi
I finally told Alex everything about me he’s always wanted to know. It felt like a truck was lifted off of me.Just when I thought things were finally going well for us, Noah’s call came in. I picked up the phone, answered the call, and put it on speaker since I no longer have to keep anything from Alex.“He’s dead.” Was the first thing Noah said.“What do you mean by that? Who is dead?”“Isaac. He was found dead in his apartment a few hours ago,” he explained.“What’s the cause of death?”“It was drug overdose. According to them it’s suicide, which we know that’s not true.”The room went completely still.Alex’s fingers, which had been resting lightly against my wrist, tightened slowly. My chest felt hollow.Isaac was a pawn that was used by Ben for Joe’s benefit. He was hired to aid Alex’s kidnapping but failed. He was finally going to be useful to us by standing as a living witness to testify against Joe. He was murdered because dead men didn’t talk. Dead men didn’t testify. Dead m
I lean closer, my voice barely strong enough to carry the weight of what I’m about to admit."I love you too." I whispered to Ethan.I feel his body still beneath me."you thought I didn't get that right?" I smiled so wide my cheeks hurt."yes, because you were supposed to be asleep" his reply was simple."Relax, you look like you just witnessed a baby being delivered.""Nothing about this is related to that." he smirked.The way his shoulders finally ease makes a soft laugh leave me. The night before had been too much—too many emotions stacked on each other like fragile glass. My father was determined to destroy me. Just like his brother, only in a different way. I knew exactly why he brought up my mother. He knew it would mess with my head. And it did.Now I’m certain whatever sickness he claims to have is a lie, just like the rest before the cancer.God, I miss my mom so damn much.Ethan comforting me,holding me when I couldn’t breathe through the anger and grief,was everything. Bu
I held Alex at the back seat of his car while he sobbed, as the chauffeur drove us out of the Blackwood estate. Seeing Alex like this made me have a series of violent thoughts roaming free in my head. I was so close to telling the chauffeur to turn the car around for me to go back inside the house and made sure his father never saw the light of day again before he could even think of hurting Alex."shhhh..." I whispered as I patted his hair softly. "let it all out, I know it hurts." I didn't need to know what his father had sat to him but I knew it was something terrible. By the time we got to the penthouse, Alex had calmed down but his eyes were a bit puffy. I just wanted to make him feel better. The elevator ride was quite. Alex really wasn't the quiet type when you get to actually know the real him. the moment I unlocked the door he went straight to the showers with his clothes on. I followed right behind him, he didn't even bother taking of any piece of clothing he just turned
