My Lover's Choice. A fight for love and redemption. のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

TAYLOR MACKENZIE We got to the car and Mark carefully lowered me into it. "Behave," he said and just as immediately as the words came out, he slammed the door shut and got into the driver's seat. The car drove off with two other cars trailing from behind and I wondered what the company was for. "Why are we being followed?" I asked. Mark didn't answer me and I scoffed, he was an asshole. "Do you dispise this place that much?" "Well, from what happened earlier, I think you should have had your answer already." "Listen, trying to escape won't help you. You-" "Don't try to convince me, I'm not staying." "You cannot get away from Mayor, Taylor. No matter how you run, this is his city, it's impossible for you to hide from him and if... If someone helps you escape, that person will be killed. His family, relatives, Mayor will find all of them. So, don't look at us as monsters, we're just trying to save our heads." I exhaled, why should I believe him when they were all loyal.

TAYLOR MACKENZIEMayor dropped the cigar and drink at the same time and stood up. His presence was as commanding as ever, his dark eyes studying me with an inscrutable expression. Mark stepped forward and whispered something into his ears. Mayor's gaze didn't leave me and when Mark was done, he walked away, so did all other guards.I gulped. I didn't like this, why would I be alone with him. He started approaching me with a measured calmness and almost immediately, he spoke. "I trust you’re feeling better?" My fist clenched at both my sides, his voice was smooth but carried an undertone of authority.I gulped again, nodding as my eyes flickered slightly. "Yes, I’m fine.""Good," he said, his gaze piercing. "I heard you tried escaping that's why it happened."I Inhaled deeply. "Yes, that's what happened. I was unlucky this time around, but I know I'll-""You're lucky my mood isn't messed up, Taylor," he cut me. "Today, I got a huge deal, you want to know whom it's from?""I have no

TAYLOR MACKENZIEThe evening was approaching and I knew it was time for the so-called party Mayor wanted me to attend. I'm sure he wanted to parade me and show his friends he conquered the woman Diego thought he could protect and the woman Donovan thought he own.I stood in the balcony, finding a moment of solitude before I would be summoned to start dressing for the party. I inhaled deeply as the cool night air provided a brief respite from the suffocating atmosphere of the mansion and Mayor. I leaned against the railing, lost in thought, when I heard the soft sound of approaching footsteps .On looking, I saw Mark emerging from the shadows, his presence expected."Miss Taylor," Mark said, his tone neutral but curious. "It is time.""Oh," I exclaimed. "Is that so?"He nodded and turned to leave."Mark!" I called, stopping him. He stopped and faced me. "Yes, is there something you want to talk about?" He asked.I inhaled. "Yes, I need to share something with you. A secret."Mark’s ex

TAYLOR MACKENZIEI found myself in a corridor, and tried to navigate the maze of the mansion, feeling increasingly lost. As I walked through it, just turning to a corner, I collided with a woman coming from the opposite direction. The sudden impact nearly caused me to lose my balance, and I stumbled, catching myself just in time.I looked at the woman who was elegantly dressed in a stunning gown, looking startled and concerned at me. “Oh my! Are you alright?”I steadied myself and looked up, meeting the woman’s concerned gaze. “Yes, I’m fine. I’m so sorry. I wasn’t looking at where I was going.”The woman gave a warm smile. “It’s quite alright. These halls can be confusing, especially for someone new. I’m Eloise.”“I’m Taylor,” I replied, my voice still a bit shaky from the collision. “I was just trying to find the bathroom.”Eloise’s smile widened, and she gestured down the corridor. “You’re almost there. Just a little further. If you need any help or someone to talk to, don’t hesita

TAYLOR MACKENZIEMayor laughed, not seeming to care of how the lady spoke to me or the insults she was spitting. I lowered my gaze, very nice of him."Mayor is indeed a generous man when it comes to helping the poor, you seem to have benefited from such help, Sharon," a voice spoke from my side. I looked immediately and saw Samantha, approaching with a man richly dressed, he had a fake smile on his face and seemed to be sticking close to her."What do you mean, Samantha?" The woman who's name was Sharon asked."I've spoken to this young lady and she seemed to be from a noble family, the daughter of Abraham Mackenzie, the man everyone wanted to bring down because he was too powerful, even the arms-giving Mayor."Mayor glared at her but a smile plastered on my face. Mayor then cleared his throat. "Won't you caution your wife, Dominic?" He asked the man standing beside Samantha."He won't, because he knows I'm right," she chuckled. "I'm always right."I looked at the man who was sweatin
