CHAPTER TWELVE

Audrey arrived back home with her eyes filled with tears, she had seen the look on his face when he asked her not to meet with Mona again, he never looked at her like that, and she knew that he meant it. She fell on the floor and clutched her chest as if trying to hold the shattered pieces of her heart together, a stream of tears flowed through her eyes and she felt that her eyes would pull out from excessive crying. Audrey cried for such a long time that she did not realize when she drifted to a deep slumber and was only woken by the sound of the doorbell. Pulling herself up from the floor, she struts over to the door, the moment she opened the door, her pain was replaced with anger. “ Audrey hi! ”. Oliver spoke, stepping inside, and was welcomed with a loud slap on his cheek. He immediately held his cheek, feeling it sore. “ How dare you! How dare you, Oliver, did this to me”.“ You are in pain, I do not know what is going on, but you have to calm down! ”.“ Oliver, look me i

Her face instantly coils into a scowl, they both stop in front of her office, and she ushers him inside. “ He doubts that what he did was wrong”.“ And Carter, does he still believe that you were involved? ”.“ He is threatening to file a restriction order against me towards Mona, and yet, she was here this morning without his notice”.“ She has grown fond of you, although she isn't aware that you are her mother, the bond still draws her close, indeed blood is thick”.“ It is so hard staying away from her, I

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

The two men both stood there for a while in silence, not sure what to say to each other. Kyle walks over to the vending machine and gets two sodas. They are both seated on the bench in the reception area, the surrounding air still calm. “ How is she doing? ” Carter finally broke the silence. “ She is fine, the doctors were able to extricate the bullet from her arm, she just needs some rest”.“ That is a relief, you must be close to her? ”.“ Yes, she is a stubborn and persistent one who forced me out of mourning, she stayed at my place for six years in Paris”.“ I see…. ”“ She told me what had transpired between the both of you, you are a smart man and I know for certain that you are aware she is not responsible for what happened to her company”.“ I am aware of that”.“ Then why did you treat her so cruelly? ”.“ It was for her safety, so much is in play here which I think that you, Mr. Saltzman, are aware of some of it, I have to protect her the best way I know how to, even if

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

Carter could not control the rage that was building inside him as he punched his fist on the desk as hard as he could go. “ That bastard, how is this possible that he is alive and walking freely in this country? ”.“ He was arrested after the death of your mother, I do not know if I should go ahead and speak because this runs deep, and I am uncertain if your emotions can handle it”.“ Do I look like a child to you? We have come too far to step back, go ahead and speak”.After the death of your mother, your father went after the syndicate that was responsible for the brutal murder of his wife and, as you know it to be, he killed them all while some of them were arrested”.“ Yes! I am fully aware of that”.

CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Audrey twists the doorknob sideways, and it clicks open, she looks left and right, making sure that no one was coming towards the hallway before creeping inside hoping not to make a sound, and when she was finally in, she could not help but be amazed at the large master bedroom. She had been to his room on several occasions when she was still legally chained to Carter, but everything seemed different from her, it was large, with new designs of furniture and a king-size bed. The fragrance in the room was blossom, a mixture of rose and incense. Audrey began to rumble through the things there, first, it was the drawer by his bedside, his wardrobe, and then the upper top where most documents were kept. But to no avail, she could not find anything that would help her, she heaved a long sigh and decided to leave, but just then, she tripped and fell, hitting her leg on the side stool beside the bed. “ Ouh!!! ” she winced in pain while clutching onto her hurt leg, trying to get back on

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Arriving at the park after driving all through traffic, the cops were around the entire place and people were slowly crowding out to watch whatever that was going on. Carter got out of his car and rushed over there, hoping it was not what he thought, but the scene before him got him dumbfounded. On the floor lay a corpse covered with white cloth, he could not see the face, but he knew who it was, he would recognize that wristwatch he gifted her even in his sleep. It was Grandma Nana lying breathless on the floor. Carter rushed over to the corpse but was stopped by the cops at the crime scene. “ Do not stop me, she is my grandmother!! ” he yelled at the top of his voice, too loud, that they could not comprehend whatever he was saying. But Carter was too furious to let anyone stop him from seeing Grandma Nana one last time. His eyes were filled with rage. He did care who he assaulted, all he knew was that he had to let the pain that filled his heart. “ Nooo…. Get away from her,

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Liam wasted no time, neither did he question Carter's instructions. He reversed the car, turned around, and zoomed off to the precinct. Audrey was reaching out from the precinct when she noticed Carter's car drove at full speed, fear gripped her as she wondered what he had to say to her again. “ Come with me! ”. Without deferring her to make a move, he grabbed her arm and started walking towards his car. “ Stop! What are you doing? ” She pulled her arm away, her heart boiling with rage as she bared her teeth. “ I need to speak to you, but I think that we are being watched”. He whispered. “ And you think that getting into your car and going to wherever it would make them not able to see you”. She scoffs, gazing at him with her lower eyelid. “ They are everywhere you go, your home, your office, even your doctors, so stop thinking that you are so smart and can outrun ”.“ This precinct, they are also here, right? ”. Carter asks, and she turns to stare back at the station, she ope

Chloe slowly sipped through the glass of cocktail, exhaled her breath, and her chin lifted into a smile. “ Can we talk now? ” Oliver who sat Calmly asked. “ Sure! Mr. Cornell assured me that you are going to get married to Audrey, can we trust you on that? ”.“ That is the only thing I want from all this charade, to be with Audrey”.“ I have the plan that will make Carter finally come to his senses and forget everything about her, but there should be no mistakes”.“ There is never a mistake from my end”.“ And yet, you let your boys mess up the previous job, Here is the hotel and room number, all we need is that you bring her there and I will do the rest”. Oliver accepts the card from her, he glances at it intensely before speaking again. “ What does Cornell stand to gain from all of this? ”.“ I do not know, and I do not care, all I want is Carter and some shares from his company”.“ But you should be careful, that man Cornelltreatst his son like a tool for his game, he wouldn't

CHAPTER TWENTY

He was the one friend she thought she could rely on that had betrayed her and gritted his teeth about it. Oliver walks calmly over to their table, both his hands in his blue jean trousers that he wore over a white shirt, he seemed calm, but Audrey could see the smirk on his face, making her bare her teeth. “ What are you doing here? ”. She asked as she bit her lower lip. “ I was at your office and was told you went out for dinner, my guess was here; I was right, never thought you were with someone, Kyle, when did you arrive? ”.“ A few days ago and I was welcomed with a brutal attack”.“ What are you talking about? ”. Oliver widened his brows as he took the empty seat next to Audrey. “ You are going to pretend like you do not know that I was attacked, that he sent men to kill me”.“ I never heard of it, that was not Cornell's doing, if he wanted you dead, trust me you'd be dead by now”.“ Is that supposed to make me feel any good? ”.
