MY POUND OF FLESH のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

Kieran drove on the tarred road for a while before he turned to some forest path, and that was when I began losing consciousness. I tried pretty hard to keep my eyes open, but it was all in vain. I could hear when the car came to a halt and he opened his door, closed it back, and came around to my side. He opened the door and lifted me gently in his arms. He placed me on a bed, and I rolled on the side before dozing off.I opened my eyes the next morning, and I couldn't figure out where I was; the room was unfamiliar. I turned to the right to see Kieran sitting on the chair and placing his head on the bed as he slept so soundly. I tried recalling what had happened and why he was sleeping like that, but I decided not to. I tried sitting up on the bed, but I woke him up instead."You are up already," he murmured while yawning. He placed his right hand on my forehead. I was surprised by his action, but I kept quiet. He nodded and pulled his hands away from my forehead."What happened to

I was scared when the door gave way with a loud bang. Kieran never said anything about visitors; if it were to be a visitor, he would knock and not break down the door to gain entrance.I screamed my head off as the intruder ran past me and grabbed Kieran in a twinkle of an eye.He had pretty damn good reflexes, and he sure knew how to take his opponent unawares. He was about to land blows on Kieran when it dawned on me who the intruder was; his physique was unmistakable. With the look on his face, I knew he would kill Kieran this instant without batting an eye if I let him. I called out his name."Mace!" I yelled, still in disbelief that he was the intruder. I must be dreaming, I kept on thinking.What are you doing? I was a little confused at the whole scenario; no one had an idea of where I was; I hadn't even glanced at my phone since I got here yesterday; and of all people to find me, what was this bastard doing here?"Why the hell do you want to punch him? I asked him again, poin

The devil incarnate dogged the vase in a good show of quick reflexes. For a moment, he looked surprised, but quickly masked it and winked at me.I honestly didn't believe I just threw a vase at Mace. What was I thinking? What if he hadn't dodged? I could have killed him, and I would have been a murderer, and at worst, a whole Mafia would be after me. I must have gone crazy."Quick reflexes are a must in the Mafia, but I don't think you would want to make yourself a widow now, Tilda."I couldn't believe the Asshole's nerves. I was really angry, and I know that it usually leads to me lashing out, and the lash out lash out I did a few moments ago nearly killed him, so I ignored him and made my way to the fridge to grab a beer. I just wanted to calm my nerves down, but before I could open the beer can, Mace snatched it from me."Have you forgotten that pregnant women aren't supposed to drink any form of alcohol? Did you read the pamphlet at all?"And I snapped."Killing people and selling

The girls can be mischievous sometimes. I locked the door behind me, and they kept knocking on my door. The knocking died down after a while, and I was on the bed trying to recollect the events of the day."I killed someone, I thought to myself. It was kind of unbelievable; I didn't know what I was feeling, shaken or glad I did."He would have killed me if I didn't shoot him." I tried convincing myself so I could feel a little less bad.I was preparing for bed when I decided to check up on Mace. I stepped out of the room and went to the sitting room. I peered out of the window, and his car was still packed outside. I smiled and went back to the room to get some sleep. I went in under my cover. I placed my head on the pillow but couldn't sleep. I kept turning on the bed, hoping to doze off, but sleep eluded me.I jerked off the bed when I heard the sound of footsteps. I froze and quickly went for the gun, gently opening the top drawer on my bedside table. I got out the gun and waited f

My heart almost collapsed at the sound of gunshots. I shut the door to my room immediately, praying that it wouldn't all end tonight. I tried calling Mace a couple of times, but he wasn't picking up. I guess he's still in a meeting. I hide in the corner of my room, all shaky. A few minutes later, my doorbell rang. I thought the bodyguards stationed downstairs had all been killed and were going to come at me like they did before. I went in search of a gun in the cabinet, I was about to open the cabinet when I heard my phone ring. I thought it was Mace, and I quickly jumped out of the bathroom in search of the phone. I didn't bother checking who the caller was, and I picked up."Mace, you need to come get me.""Tilda, calm down." I heard Grace's voice from the other end."Grace?" I took the phone away from my cheeks to check who the caller was. Grace asked me to come downstairs because someone was asking for me.I was scared out of my mind. For a second, I thought they had finally got t
