Sitting on the railing, Charlene contemplated jumping down the three storey building. Her brain was ready to do it, to aim for freedom, but her body simply refused. Her hands trembled, and her heart thumped so hard that she thought it was going to explode out of her chest. Deciding to go through with it, she shut her eyes, took a deep breath and put her right foot out, ready to jump.A large hand swiftly wrapped around her waist and pulled her away from the edge. She let out a gasp as her head collided with Mason's hard chest.“Are you out of your fucking mind!? Do you want to die!?” He yelled, face scrunched in anger but eyes widened in fear. “Dying would be better than being stuck in here with you!” She pushed him off with a groan, re-entering the room. He followed her, fuming.“Is that how much you hate me? I mean,” he paused, letting out a dry chuckle and pulling his hair. “You don't even know my story, you only believe what Noah told you.” “Why shouldn't I believe him? He's no
Charlene stirred on the bed, every movement causing pain to shoot through her body. She winced a little, lifting her hand to touch her head only to discover that a bandage was around her head. “Gosh..” she let out a groan, squinting. All of a sudden, she recalled everything that happened, the accident, and even the distant sound of an explosion. Her eyes threw open, her chest heaving up and down as fear gripped her. The first thing she noticed in her panic was the strange room that she was in. It was not only dark, it was almost empty, with only the bed that she was lying on and the cupboard beside it. The scent of tobacco hung heavy in the air, a scent she did not recognize. She sat up slowly, her heart slamming against her chest. She had no idea where she was or how she got there. The room was so dark, with light barely getting in through the slightly open curtain. “Hello?” She called out, her lips quivering as she tried to climb down the bed. She felt a burst of pain, and that
After leaving Vicky's house, Knight received a text from Bianca, asking him to come urgently. Knight was skeptical because Noah could have gotten home and invited her to his place instead. Bianca arrived quickly, but she didn't need to threaten Knight before he grabbed her and kissed her hungrily. He was still hard from meeting Vicky, he needed someone to cool off with and Bianca just happened to be available.“Someone's feisty today. What happened?” Bianca asked, breaking the kiss to take a look at him. She loved to hurt his ego by subduing him into sex, she wasn't comfortable with him enjoying what they were doing.“Nothing happened, I just… I just want you.” He answered, obviously trying to hold back. When he couldn't take it anymore, he grabbed her by the waist and pinned her to the wall, lowering his head to nozzle her neck and shoulder. Bianca shuddered under him, his touch sending waves of unending pleasure down her spine. She parted her lips as he sucked on her neck, leaving
Noah spent a gruelling five hours trying to find out who the spy was, but none of his methods proved anything. Everyone was thoroughly searched and investigated but nothing was found. This left him feeling like a complete failure throughout the whole day.“You have to calm down.” Knight said to him, walking into the office. He was just returning from the hall after the last employee was investigated. He too was equally investigated, it was protocol.“Calm down? Knight, that bastard has all my personal data at his fingertips and you want me to calm down? At this point, I'm losing it! How is he even getting all this information?” Noah rubbed his temple as hard as he could, but that did nothing to calm his raging nerves.“Maybe he has cameras..”“Where? I've had this entire place checked by technicians and they've found nothing. Is this fucking witchcraft then!?” He snapped, glaring at Knight who quickly lowered his gaze.“I'm sorry sir, we will work harder to uncover the truth.” He bowe
“Daddy, watch me!”Harry threw his arms in the air before launching forward and doing a front flip. Noah's eyes widened, from fear and surprise. He clapped anyway, cheering him on.“You're going to let him hurt himself.” Charlene walked in, catching a glimpse of what was going on. She placed the cookies on the bed and Harry ran to the plate.“Let him have some fun.” Noah rolled his eyes, grabbing a cookie too. He looked around, making sure that the room was dim enough. No open curtains— his enemies could be watching at any time. When he was sure that the coast was clear, he took off his mask and ate the cookie.Charlene admired them, her boys. They were the only family she had in the whole world, and she wouldn't trade it for anything.All of a sudden, as if to disrupt their perfect moment, Noah's phone rang and he answered it. It was Knight.“Sir?” Knight's voice came.“What is it?”“Sir, some officers from the police department are here to see you, they need a statement from you.” K
Noah wasn't bluffing when he said that he was going to buy the restaurant for Charlene. She was overwhelmed after signing the new ownership documents. Never in her wildest dreams did she ever imagine that she would become the owner of a popular, exclusive restaurant. Her happiness knew no bounds.As soon as they were done with the entire process, they went back home, the restaurant keys in Charlene's purse. It still felt like a dream, but her happiness made him feel complete. “You know, you really didn't have to buy the restaurant just to caution that waiter.” She tucked her hair behind her ear, just as the car was pulling into the driveway.“I didn't have to, I needed to. Everyone needs to know who you are, they need to respect my woman.” Noah bluntly replied and she blushed, her hair bouncing on her face as the car came to an abrupt stop.They got down from the car and headed straight inside, staring at each other and holding hands like teenage lovers. The first person that ran up
