Hale could not believe what had happened. He stared at his screen in shock and called Ria again. However, she hung up on him.He threw his phone on the couch and yelled, "Bitch!"He paced up and down, trying to figure out what the problem could be. Did Ria's words mean she wanted to turn against the New Order or was she simply expressing her anger at him?He concluded that it had to be the latter. Ria was a smart girl and definitely knew the implications of rebelling against her superiors. He decided to calm down. Ria was eventually going to crawl back to him and that would be the perfect time to carry out his revenge.Meanwhile, Ria picked up some items from her bedroom and walked slowly towards Anthony's room. Her heart was racing because she knew what Hale was capable of. However, she had crossed a line she could not go back from and had no choice but to get herself ready.When she entered the room, she saw Anthony asleep. She stared at him and said in a low voice, "I'm going to p

RIAI was in no mood for what Anthony wanted. How could I be when the place I had thought would be a safe haven for us suddenly turned out to be easily accessible to our enemies? I still could not understand why the New Order found us so quickly and how they were able to see what was happening inside the villa. Did Anthony tell anyone about our trip? I was going to ask him about it. Perhaps he told someone close to him and there was a possibility that this was the same person who wanted him dead. But who could it be?My heart was still beating very fast. Nevertheless, I smiled and threw my arms around his neck, kissing him fiercely before going on my knees. I pulled down his briefs and looked up at him, our gazes locked briefly before I began to pleasure him.I opened my eyes almost two hours later and got up from the bed. I was exhausted not just because of the trip but also the rigorous sex Anthony and I had before I fell asleep. He was almost insatiable.Due to the kind of life I

My eyes widened in fear as I reached for my gun, moving my hand closer to the pocket of my pants. however, Hale's warning voice rang from behind me."Don't even think about it, if you do not want me to blow up your brains. What did I tell you, Ria?A day of reckoning finally came. Now, where is your prince charming? He's gone and left you all alone."His words struck me as I realized that Anthony could really be gone from this world."What did you do to him?" I asked and he angrily slapped my cheek from behind."I said shut the hell up, Ria. Still pining over him even at a time like this? What happened to you?"I knew Hale was not going to let me live but I wasn't going to make it easier for him. This was what I thought.I lifted my right hand, wanting to strike his face with my elbow, however, I felt a sharp pain in my head as he knocked me unconscious with his gun.As darkness slowly engulfed me, he covered the hood over my eyes and that was it.When I opened my eyes, we were at the

RIAMy heart was thumping loudly as Anthony pointed his gun at me. He asked me how I thought everything was going to play out and I pondered over his question for a minute. I had also never tried to look at the end, I was mainly focused on saving Anthony but if only he could get past his feelings of anger and need for revenge. If only he could see me like he used to, then everything would be fine.... something suddenly occurred to me and I raised my eyes. "Hold on," I said to him. "You just explained now that everything was planned by you. I mean, while I thought my plans were being carried out, you were the game planner. What about all those things you said to me? The way you made me feel, the promises you made.Saying you love me, saying you were going to spend the rest of your life with me. Was that all a plan? Was it just to watch me make you fool of myself? Will you achieve your aim in the end? I mean, yes I knew I was no saint but regarding my feelings I never...""Yes and no,

RIAThree months later, Anthony and I held hands as we walked on a field. We had gone there to have a picnic because we wanted to try something different.For weeks, Anthony had taken me to all the fancy restaurants in different parts of the world, but today I craved something simple. A meal with just the both of us while enjoying a serene environment. As we walked toward where our seats had been prepared, I stared at the lilies decorating the field and smiled. "This place is beautiful. Anthony, how did you discover it?"He circled his arms around my waist and pulled me closer, "That's a secret I am not going to expose." I chuckled, I had thought he wanted to say something else. We stared at each other for a while before I briefly kissed him, "You know, in spite of how much time has passed, Anthony, this still feels like a dream.""Why?" He asked me. I shrugged, "I found love, Anthony. I never thought I could, but I found love in not just anyone but you; Anthony Baltimore, the bigg
