I rested my body the whole day, I laid on my bed watching tv and cuddling with my kitten till I fell asleep. I suddenly was woken up by the sound of screaming and doors slamming, I shot up from bed with sweat dripping down the side of my face. I glanced up at the clock in the corner, it was three in the morning."Amanda!" I heard screaming from downstairs, I grabbed my robe off my bed and hurried down the stairs almost slipping while doing so, all the lights were on as I entered the kitchen. Four men were gathered around the dinning table, I stood at the door frame with my wide eyes. There was a trail of blood on the floor, and there was also more blood dripping down the table. Vanessa turned to look at me with blood covering her entire body, her arms were held out and her eyes were bloodshot. When she moved to the side I had a perfect view of who was laying the table, it was Hudson."He was shot twice in the stomach." Vanessa stuttered."Oh my God." My words rushed out, my body was u

He brought me outside to the roof of his restaurant, there was small lights hanging around the poles on each side. Hudson slowly strolled over to the small table in the center where he dug around for something, he lit a cigarette in his mouth. Was he nuts? What part of dying does he not get.He walked over to the brick railing where he could see more of the city, he leaned over and watched the cars drive by. It was beautiful, he was beautiful but that type of beauty scared me.. "I come up here to think, or get away from Vanessa." He says, there was a certain playfulness behind his words.I walked over next to him but I remained at a safe distance, the view took my breath away almost immediately after seeing it."It's beautiful." I whispered.Truly is." He mumbles under his breath.I turned to look at him but to my surprise he was already staring at me when he said those words, my stomach started to flutter with butterflies. We both shared a similar look, but I needed answers more then

A soft irritation kept brushing against my nose with my eyes still shut I quickly rubbed the area with the back of my hand, it went away for a brief second but it managed to come back. My eyes finally flutter open to see Ryan right in front of me with a feather at my nose, he smiled once he saw I was awake."Rise and shine, toots." He says with a hint of playfulness in his voice.I know damn wellI slap his hand away before jumping off my bed, my legs were so tangled in my blankets that I almost tripped and fell on the floor."Did you kill an animal?" I demand, did he seriously kill an innocent animal just for this?"Of course not, you're an animal activist. What kind of person do you think I am?" He bats his eyelashes at me like almost mocking my innocence, basically making fun of me. I barely know this yet I know enough to know that he's far from innocent. "Your ball of fur caught it this morning." His at my cat which was peacefully laying on the carpet with a pile of feathers aroun

"Why did you stop?" I asked."We're going to talk this out." He says.I'm going to kill him, now he wants to talk, bullshit.I tried opening the door but he locked it, so then I tried unlocking it and opening the door but he locked it again. I whipped my head at him, he was smirking, the bastard thought this was funny."Stop being childish and open my door." My tone was serious as it came out."Stop trying to run away from a conversation." He replies.I slumped back into my chair, great he was just going to sit there all night and stare at me while I decide whether to break his window or not."Ryan is going-""Don't say his name." Hudson cuts me off mid way.This caught my attention, I looked at him with innocent eyes. He looked furious at the mention of his name, this is what I wanted, jealousy."Ryan, Ryan, Ry-"This time his sentence didn't cut me off, it was his hands. He grabbed me by my waist and flipped me on his lap with my chest pressed against his steering wheel, my mouth pa

"You were my most trusted right-hand man, you betrayed me." Hudson says with his finger pointed down.Ryan shakes his head while chuckling very dryly. "I loved you like a brother, and you were spiraling down and she was scared of your wrath."Oh my God.He lowers down his weapon and glances back at me with tears in his eyes. "That's who Hudson Scott is." He says while tucking his gun back inside his pants, he grabs the bottle of whiskey and drags it alongside of him as he climbs up the stairs.I watched him sloppily sway side to side as he made it to the top, and he suddenly disappeared down the hallway.What was the point of that? Was he warning me? Does Ryan truly care about me or is this some twisted way in getting revenge on Hudson? I stared at the empty table afraid to look at him, the files I found in his office popped back inside my head. He has something planned for me, something that has to do with my past. That's why he knows so much about me, this unsettling feeling filled
