BEYOND THE LINES"Breath in, breathe out and tell me what on earth is wrong," Reid said, trying to contain his frustration. "I need to get my ass inside a plane and not drive. I need to get the hell out of this town as soon as I can. That's what's wrong!” she grinned her teeth out of anger, sadness, frustration and above all hurt.She was hurt that things keep happening to people at the lowest end of the equilibrium. It's never balanced and they are always at the receiving end. It sucks!"Okay, listen. I need you to calm down. We’re gonna have it sorted out and you’re gonna be out of this town," he assured as he thought hard for a second. Maria's face was buried in her palm already, thinking hard about what to do. At that moment, it was like having a hard time for a long time and just the slightest thing puts you off the edge. Reid picked his phone up and called his P.A to arrange a plane for them as soon as he could. That was one of the power within a billionaire's reach."What?"

LOVE TANGLE Life is like different several packages attached to everyone with a blindfold on one's face. Everyone keeps unfolding it with the least idea of what is in it or what is to come.So was it for her at the moment. She had never thought of being in a relationship with Reid's lawyer and not Reid himself. She knew for sure that she loved him and that he loved her too and she was willing to see what it brings forth while she puts in her effort to make it work.She turned reluctantly like every other morning in bed at the sound of her alarm. It sounded repeatedly and she groaned, flicking her eyes opened angrily as she sat up. "Fine, fine! I'm up. You sneaky little..." she stopped when she turned and saw his dark it still was and how quiet her alarm was. She turned to her side and saw that it wasn't her alarm but her phone which had stopped ringing when she finally realized. She picked up her phone and saw the caller to be Kyros. She was about to ring him back when her phone

REID’S TENDER LIPSShe brought her phone out of her purse as she wanted to call the cops but her second instinct warned her. She could be held as a murder suspect. A suspect for a person she knew not how he died. She was still sweating profusely when she dodged her phone from her ear and quickly dropped it back in her course. She was acting rashly and that could get her in trouble. She was quiet for a few more seconds with no headstart on what to do or where to go. Was she meant to run off and leave the body behind? Or was she meant to sit still right beside him with her drenched face? A few drops of tears rolled down her cheeks and she checked her purse again, fumbling to get her phone after a while of thinking of what to do. As her hands trembled to dial a number, probably to finally call an emergency number or Kyros' number, then she noticed that he moved. He didn't just move, he was also breathing. He fucking moved. She dropped her phone out of fear as he moved again but thi

AS DAYS PASSED BYReid pushed Kyros away from Maria who was staring at Reid with shock on her feminine face. Kyros had a stunned look on his face as to why Reid was shirtless in his girlfriend's apartment and Reid looked so furiously at Kyros. Maria stared all over Reid’s half-naked body. She trailed her eyes slowly from his face down to his chest, skipping his torso to his thighs and to his legs. Abruptly, she walked her eyes back up at his surprisingly huge bulge. He didn't have a boner the bulge was quite noticeable. “He should have at least gotten something on,” Maria thought. “Wha...” Kyros rested his forehead in his palm out of frustration before he continued. “What? No. Why is he here?” Kyros looked at Maria with his hand pointing at Reid. “I should ask you that. What do you think you’re doing, clutching your hands all over her like that?” “You haven't told him?” Kyros asked, looking over at Maria with a raised eyebrow. “Told me what?”“That I am her boyfriend now and I

THE GAMBLEKyros looks more scared than confused and shocked. The relationship had barely survived for three months and now it was about to end?No! He wasn't willing to let that happen. He looked deep into her eyes that held no remorse for the heavy words she had just spurred out. He was trying to find something, just anything that could point out that she didn't mean any of what she had just said but there was none. Not a single sign of repentance. “Listen, Maria. I don't know what your accusation is about but you could be held accountable for defamation of character, do you know?” he finally said after several attempts to reach up to her high barricades. He rested his left hand on his waist and his left hand was stuck out in an attempt that signifies that he needed an answer. “I wouldn't defame you if they weren't true. As a matter of fact, I am done talking here! There is no ‘us’ anymore,” she insisted and as she turned to walk out on him, Kyros pulled her to his chest aggressiv
