"Whew! That was close! " Bridgette said, while catching her breath. She became the center of attention at that party against her will. If not for that strange, arrogant man, she’d be on her way to Hounslow already."No! This was all Daddy’s fault! If he hadn’t tricked me into going home, I'd never be in this mess! ’ Bridgette was furious because of what her dad did to him. The memory of what happened a few days back came rushing back to her as she sat behind the bush on this dark road, hiding from that strange man.Did you enjoy the food? Troy asked Bridgette after they both finished a platter of green salad. They’re at a lettuce farm a few miles away from Westminster. Troy decided to bring Bridgette here because they’ve been eating unhealthily, and based on what Chelsey said, due to her hectic schedule, she only eats premade foods nowadays.Bridgette seemed to like the place. Fresh air, fresh foods, and Troy’s company.This is the first time I've actually been to this kind of place.
The mansion appeared to be far too quiet today. Troy spends his weekends playing badminton in their mini sports center, while Tabitha does her weekend vlogging thing in the garden. He suddenly felt lonely, and he needed to spend time with his siblings today for some reason."Where are my brother and sister?" Terrence asked one of their housekeepers as he strolled around the mansion looking for them."Ms. Tabitha went to her friend’s house, and Sir Troy left the mansion at eight o’clock last night. "He hasn’t returned yet."Terrence felt disappointed and sad. But then he thought of a nice idea. When they’re both back, tell them to go to the villa. I’ll be waiting for them there, "he ordered. The maid nodded, bowed, and walked away.Terrence returned to his room and packed up some stuff he’d be needing for the weekend, loaded it on the car, and drove to the villa using his Land Rover. He wanted to do some off-road riding to ease his tension after all he had been through this week.It wa
“Kat, did you see that?” Cody whispered to Katarina. They had been observing Terrence for almost two hours already inside the training room. He had been kicking and punching and shooting things nonstop. Now he’s thwacking the heck out of the punching bag while murmuring. They couldn’t hear what he was saying. Cody thought it was because of the woman they had been looking for for days already. But it wasn't the case now.“I have eyes, Williams,” she annoyingly responded while staring at their boss. “He has been grumpy and absent-minded these days. I wonder what’s gotten into him.”“The strange woman.” Sparrow butted in while wielding her katana in front of her two colleagues.“Right! Boss is in love!” Cody blurted out loudly, getting Terrence’s attention. He walked towards them with a blank expression etched on his face.“What did you say?!” He grabbed Cody’s collar and gave him a piercing stare. Katarina and Sparrow were both shocked and tried to pull Cody away from their enraged boss
It’s been a while since Bridgette set foot in Hounslow. She stepped out of the train and breathed in the fresh scent of morning air along with the aromas of various street foods. Hounslow is a small town in Outer London. Some people find this place dull and boring, but for Bridgette, it is a piece of heaven."Hey, wait for me!" said a familiar voice behind her. She almost forgot that she had company. She turned her head and saw Troy walking briskly towards her."I’m sorry, Troy. I was just preoccupied with my thoughts. "I forgot about you," she explained. She turned to face the sidewalk and saw food stands from diverse cultures. She smiled as she remembered the first day she arrived in this small town.She continued talking. "It’s just that… it really feels like home here." Troy saw the dreamy look in her eyes as she talked about how much she really loved this small town. He wanted to ask something, but he chose to just stare at her. She looks like sunshine, shining brightly in the mo
Upon reaching the mansion of the Second Family in Kensington, west of London, Terrence called his cousin Brandon Evans before doing the attack. He may be angry with his uncle and his wife but he never wanted his innocent cousins to be implicated in his plan.“Hi, Brad. Who is inside the Second Family mansion now?”Brandon responded. Terrence could hear the sound of ocean waves in the background. “Oh, hi couz! Hadley is out and I’m in Hawaii. I think it's just mum and dad and the rest of the household. Why?”Terrence smirked. “Brilliant! Nothing. Enjoy the booze. Bye.”As he dropped the phone, he gave a hand signal to his team. As he raised his hand, some of his team infiltrated the mansion to kill the family’s guards discreetly.He hid his gun with a silencer on his jacket and wore his aviator glasses. He entered the mansion casually. The guards let him in because he’s a known relative of the Second Family.“Where’s uncle?” he asked.“Upstairs Sir Terrence,” one of the servants answer
Somewhere in London…A man said “It’s not yet time for me to intervene. Shut it! None of this would happen if your troops aren’t stupid dipsticks!” He dropped the call and massaged his temples.‘Things are getting out of hand. I have to think of a plan.’ This thought ran through his head as he drew a deep breath out of frustration.It was a very ordinary Saturday morning in Hounslow. Bridgette was busy with house chores while singing and dancing. Earphones plugged in, and at full volume, she listened to music on her phone. She’s only in her pink oversized T-shirt and skimpy shorts. To save time, she opted to wear her hair in an unkempt bun. Late last night, she stayed up late, and thus she got up late as well.“I’m a simple girl, in my own little world, and I love my life, lo and behold! He came and said hello and my whole world changed”. She was swaying her hips and using the handle of the mop as her microphone. She was so engrossed with what she was doing that she didn’t notice Tro
It’s eight in the evening. Stars adorned the velvet black sky draped over the entire city. The light breeze of the night played with Terrence’s hair. Terrence leaned against the trunk of his car. The chirping of cicadas served as the background music for his broken soul.With a bottle of cold beer in his hand, he drank a swig of it. The beer's velvety texture slid down his throat. His palette was overpowered by its harsh and highly carbonated flavor.Suddenly, he remembered the task he assigned to Cody a few days ago. They became so busy planning for the Second and Third Family’s downfall that he forgot to ask him about the development of their investigation regarding the strange woman’s disappearance.He took his phone out of his coat and pressed speed dial five. A few rings and Cody picked up the phone.“Cody the cool IT speaking. Zupp Boss T?” he responded, sounding like an L.A. boy.‘This guy had been watching too many American movies again picking up these slang words.’ Terrence
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Welcome to Japan! Nihon e youkoso! We will be landing in five minutes. Please stay in your seats. Thank you.”Bridgette removed her purple sleep mask after hearing the announcement. Half of the almost twelve-hour flight she was asleep. She wasn’t able to get a lot of sleep the past few days because she needed to prepare for the convention. On top of that, they were also busy with their wedding preparations that’s about to happen three months from now.Her attention was drawn to the brilliant oval-cut sapphire ring on her finger, which resembled Kate Middleton's engagement ring. She immediately blushed and smiled as she recalled Troy’s simple wedding proposal to her.Troy invited him to go to the beach one fine day. He told him he wanted to unwind because they’ve always been busy managing their business together. Since they opened Sweet Memoire, Bridgette spent her entire week in the shop.Bridgette thought it was just an ordinary v
