All Chapters of Chasing Poisonous: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

I stare blankly at the white wall in front of me sitting on the bed with my tear-stained face. It has been five days since I haven't stepped foot outside of this goddamn room. Christopher lied to me. I should have known better than to trust him. Why did I even believe him in the first place?I never saw him after the first day we met. I got to know that Josh woke up the very next day, which is four days before. He even came here to thank me but, when I asked him about Christopher, he didn't have an answer for it.Everyone here seems to behave strangely with me. its not like I want them to behave any different. I am more than okay with it as far as they don't kill me or hurt. I surely don't trust anyone here. Christopher was the only one, whom I felt like trusting in. I don't know why but I felt connected to him the very first time I saw him. Something about him gave me an impression that he would help me.I waited for him next day after Josh came to meet me, but he didn't show up. som

PRESENTI got the letter three days ago and, I am still in dread of what outcome it will bring. Working had been something that has always kept me engaged. No matter how stressed I was, once I got in my working mode, I tend to forget everything. It was like a stress buster for me. But at this moment, even my perfectly loved job was not enough to keep my mind away from those terrible thoughts that were tormenting me. It has now started to feel more like a burden because I couldn't concentrate on anything.Everything seems to me like a blur. I couldn't get what people say to me anymore. It feels like I am probably lost in these thoughts expecting the worst possible follow up to hit me. I never thought it was going to be this bad, but now I know, to what extremity it can lead.Yesterday I got a call from my mother asking me to come and visit them. At first, I was surprised to see her call because she rarely ever tried to contact me. I guess our bonding just faded over time. Her unconditi

Removing my hands from the face I ask him. "Why the fuck you did that?" my voice coming out with a mixture of shock, anger, and mostly embarrassment."You were enjoying the view earlier so I thought why not might as well give you a good show." he winks at me wearing his jeans now.Asshole! Is he crazy or what? I almost had a mini heart attack watching him like this, honestly speaking I have never seen a man ass in real before, except for when my baby brother was born. And that too as perfect as of Christopher, it's not like I am fantasizing about it, just stating the facts.if this is how he is going to behave while staying here then we need to have a serious talk. I can't tolerate this. his creepy behavior can lead to some really awkward sexual thing and I can't lose my shit like this. Hell no! I couldn't let something inappropriate to happen in my room and that too with Christopher. Fuck! I am already thinking of jumping his bones right now. why does he have to look so deliciously s

"Come in, Christopher." I see Richard sitting on the large sofa placed at the center of the room with a cigarette in between his fingers. he is wearing a black shirt with sleeves been rolled up. his suit jacket is lying beside him on the sofa. Richard glances at me with his usually serious face. his personality always reflects the power that he posses. his features present the image of pure dominance. no doubt that he is a handsome man.With a few strikes of grey hair, nobody can think of him to be a year older than forty. his body appears to be younger than his face with all those muscles flexing through his shirt. sometimes I doubt if he lies about himself being in the late fifties. I am damn sure that even at this age any woman would die to be with him. I wonder why he wants to give over his business to me when he is so fit and capable of taking care of it himself. I guess that's what happens when you are the mafia leader. you do all the crime and bad shit all your life and then a

Not wanting to make her feel any worse, I let go of my anger and move closer to her. placing a hand on her shoulder I say "I know that I wasn't at my best behavior after that accident." I sigh and give her a sad smile. "I wasn't ignoring you, Sophia. I just needed some space to process everything that has happened. I needed time to heal."Three years ago I met with a nearly fatal accident in Spain. I got to know that I was there for a business deal. While driving through the hill, my wheels got out of balance and the car fell off the cliff. I survived severe injuries including traumatic brain damage which led to an unfortunate memory loss. I was also in a coma for about four months. So basically whatever I stated now wasn't known to me, because I remembered nothing after I woke up from the coma. everything that I know was told to me by Richard, his men, and Sophia.I don't even remember a single event of my life before that and it really pisses me off. What Sophia said was true. After
