Mom was in a coma, and exerting information from her was impossible. But how could she hold such secret for too long and let everyone suffer from it, including Dad? I’d never got the chance to dive deeper into the Houston business because I was too consumed with my eagerness to find Dad that I didn’t do enough research to have a major conclusion as to what was happening. And now that Dad was dead, it was now the time to uncover the secrets they had kept for his justice. Aside from that, revenge had to be cast upon them so they knew how it felt being at the rock bottom. 

Darkness surrounded my vision, and I was trying to lash out from the guy’s tight embrace. I was kicking my feet forcefully as he lifted me, screaming for help as he hushed me. He was masculine and strong, and it was impossible to get away with his tight grip. When he started walking away, a whimper tore out of my throat but it quickly subsided when I heard a woman’s voice chuckling.

When the thought of him finally struck me, the wave of emotions and yearning started flooding back. I knew no matter how hard I tried not to think about him, it was just as inevitable as my feelings that would suddenly pop up, unannounced. I had been shaking all the thoughts of him right after the night I’d escaped from the Houstons, not wanting to feel like shit after turning my back against him and practically lying all this time.

I couldn’t stop loathing myself for letting all of these be out of control and made Catherine retaliate that ended up in a huge commotion.

We didn’t have a choice, and as much as I wanted to decline William’s offer, I knew this was the only option we had. I agreed to the plan and he promised that what happened back then wouldn’t happen this time. We would be more cautious and prepared so we would be safe. He couldn’t promise us that we wouldn’t be hurt along the way; this path we got to take was dangerous. But with us working together, I think we got this. Right after we were introduced

After our exhausting training yesterday, Gwen contacted us for advanced training. I had no idea what we would do today but since Hansel and I got nothing to do, we complied. We drove all the way to the location Gwen had sent us, and I offered to drive Hansel’s car since I knew he was still sleepy. When we arrived at the location, William and the others were already there. But aside from them, there were other people, who I would assume were William’s men, that surrounded the area. There were about ten of them if I wasn’t mistaken.
