Lincoln sighed for the umpteenth time as he stared at the unsent message he had tried to send to Ethan that morning.He still couldn't believe that Ethan is now done with him and has returned to his old life like he never even existed.This is what I wanted. Lincoln told himself as he stared out at the bustling road. This is what I wanted. He finally told me that he loved me after all his denials and that he wanted us to be together. He told me he wanted me… but I told him we wouldn't work. I told him we won't work unless he tells me about his traumatic incident… and he agreed that we won't work… which is true… but why am I still feeling sad? I don't think I've felt this sad in my life before. The thought of not seeing him again for the rest of my life terrifies me so fucking much! And now there's no other way to reach him… I don't even know his Insta…The car came to an abrupt halt, jolting him out of his thoughts and throwing him forward.“What the hell, Rahim?” He cried out.“Oh, y
Arthur rose to his feet and grabbed Ana's hand. “Can you walk?”“Um… I guess?” Ana replied, “But you haven't answered my question yet. What happened here?”“Get up,” Arthur commanded, adjusting his spectacles.“Answer me first!” Ana gritted, pointing her chin at him, “Did you do this? Is that… is that Hunter?” She gasped, “Is that blood? Oh, my God, Arthur…”“Ana Smith!” Arthur roared and Ana flinched back in shock, “I said, GET TO YOUR FEET RIGHT NOW!”Ana has never seen Arthur talk this way to her, and something told her that Arthur was extremely furious at this moment, the way his eyes were burning.“Uhm… okay.” She made to get to her feet, but she was still feeling a bit tipsy, so she lost her balance and made to fall, but Arthur caught her mid-air by the waist.“There, I got you.” Arthur said, “Put your hands over my neck.”“Uhm… okay.” Ana did as she was told and slid her hands over his neck.“Okay, here we go,” Arthur muttered under his breath, his grip on her waist tightening.
Arthur's heart kept pounding against his chest as he sped through the bustling road.He could barely think.He was extremely terrified.If something… anything at all… happened to Ana, he wasn't sure he could ever forgive himself.The moment he set eyes on Hunter, his sharp instincts told him that the boy had no good intentions towards Ana.Which is why he didn't hesitate to install a tracking device in her cellphone in case of necessity.The red signal on his screen told him the exact location of Ana… which was a club nearby to his current location. He pulled up amongst the cars in the parking lot of the club and hurriedly dashed out of the car.Recognizing the convertible that Ana had gotten into, he was one hundred percent certain that Ana was actually here.His throat dehydrated as fuck, his heart slamming against his ribs, he ran into the club.Meanwhile, Hunter and his two friends, Toby and Zane, stood staring at unconscious Ana.“Is the room prepared?” Hunter asked Toby, who no
Ethan turned off the shower and swept his wet, dark blonde hair to the back of his head, then stared up at the ceiling.He stood in silence for a few minutes before shutting his eyes.The moment he did that, Lincoln’s cute, innocent face flashed in his mind, and his eyes snapped open.For the whole day, he has been trying so hard not to think of Lincoln or anything related to him, and so far, he has been successful… until now.Wrapping his towel around his waist, he came out of the bathroom into his room. Putting on comfy sweatpants and a tank top, he went downstairs.Cookie barked at him excitedly.“Aww,” He bent to her level and began to pet her gently, “What is it?”“Woo! Woo!” The dog barked again.“What? You want more dog treats?”The dog barked excitedly in response.“Haha! Of course, I know you do, you little bundle of joy!” Ethan stretched his hand and got the remaining dog treats from where he kept them, then poured them into the dog's bowl. “There! There you go!”The dog bar
“Hey, you okay?” Hunter asked Ana, making her turn to stare at him.“Huh?”“I asked if you were okay,” Hunter repeated.“Um, yeah… I think?” Ana replied, “I'm just a little bit worried about my bodyguard. What if he gets fired because of this?”“Then he gets fired.” Hunter said, waving his hand airily, “That's what you want, isn't it? For him to get fired?”“Well…”“You worry too much, Ana.” Hunter stated, “Stop worrying. Let's just enjoy this. Okay?”Ana gave him an uneasy smile, “Okay.”She didn't feel exactly safe, even though she was with Hunter.Arthur was the only one who made her feel one hundred percent safe, and he isn't here.“Ana, these are my pals,” Hunter waved to two of his friends in the car. “This is Toby,” He tapped the one driving the car.“Hi, there, Ana.” He waved at her, without turning.“Hi, Toby,” Ana responded.“And over here is Zane.” Hunter tapped the one sitting beside Toby.Zane turned and flashed his brown teeth at her, “Hi, Ana!”Ana didn't like the look
Mark stared at his wristwatch for the umpteenth time as he leaned against the car, outside the airport.The time read 6:30 PM.“Ugh, where is he?” He muttered to himself, then glanced up again, his eyes searching for his boss, Ethan, amidst the crowd.He had been waiting for him for the past hour, and he was frustrated to the core.And then he saw him.He had on a white shirt that hung to his sexy body alongside dark pants.And he moved with confidence and authority, commanding respect. He had even attracted the attention of others, male and female, who kept ogling at his extraordinary sexiness.Upon sighting him, Mark quickly rushed to him and took the suitcase from him.“Mr Burns!” He called excitedly, “You're back. Welcome.”“Thank you, Mark,” Ethan replied as they walked towards the car. “Have you been waiting here for the last hour?”“Mhm.” Mark nodded in response.“Sorry about that,” He said in an apologetic tone, “My flight was delayed by an hour, and it slipped my mind to info
