021 A Dangerous Connection

LanaI was at work this morning when I saw the news, something didn't feel right about it.Ethan and Hannah’s marriage has been buzzing on social media for a very long time, and now they are calling it off.Hannah’s parents said they don't think they were a good match, though nothing has been heard from Ethan’s family. I believe the engagement has officially sunk.My phone pinged. “This is definitely what we call karma” Beatrice sent me a photo, I thought it was the failed engagement news, but I was wrong.Ethan’s family has completely been bankrupt. It even said they were going to sell their mansion.Damn.Sell their mansion? I remember when I always thought of what to wear when Ethan finally introduced me to his parents. I even kept some cash aside to buy a really expensive dress that would fit his family's wealth.“Isn't this too suspicious to be karma?” I texted Beatrice.“I doesn't matter, sis, it's still karma” I read Beatrice’s message and signed. This is definitely suspicio

022 Pride Before The Fall

LanaWhy is he here?He shouldn’t be here right now.My eyes met with Karl's empty ones, and i pressed my lips together.Stella stood beside me, and Karl's eyes went to her.“Didn't you hear what I said?” He raised an eyebrow, clearly displeased.Stella couldn't move. I could feel her visibly stiffened beside me. It seems all her confidence obliterated.Her feet left the floor slowly, and she walked out of the kitchen.“Come with me,” Karl said to me and left.This isn't right, I don't like this, Karl's presence only made the situation worse.He only confirmed how right Stella was, and that made my blood boil.He shouldn't have come here and fired Stella.I followed Karl into Roman’s office. The elevator ride was long as hell.“Why are you here?” I asked again.“That chef posted a picture of the both of us in the staff group, Roman saw it and told me about it, aren't you in the group?” He asked, and I blinked.No one was nice enough to tell me there was a staff group.“No, Stella show

023 Tied To Secrets

Lana I force my eyes open. My head throbbed badly as I tried to keep my eyes open. “Awake?” I heard a deep voice. I tried to move, but my hands were restricted, tied behind the chair I didn't know I was sitting on. My legs were also tied to the same chair, I raised my head up to meet a pair of black eyes. “What do you want?” I bit out, my throat was tight, and my heart drummed uncontrollably in my chest. I have been kidnapped. “Calm down pretty, we are just getting started,” the man chuckled, and fear blew up in me. Nothing about his expression said anything good. “Who are you? Who sent you to me?” I asked again, desperate for answers. “Patiences, I was asked to scare you a little but don't worry, you'd be free after we get what we want,” The man raised my head with his fingers and I turn my head away making him chuckle. “sit tight,” he smiled and walked out of the small room. I looked around me, the room was empty, the light bulb was turned on, it's basically the only thin

024 A Missing Truth

Karl Lana looked like she didn't know what to say. What did those bastards tell her?I have always been worried about this exact thing, I have been afraid of drawing her into my world because it's not a place for someone like her.I didn't expect my fears to haunt me so fast, I can still remember how fucking scared I was when Ryan told me she was missing.I was already drawing up a list of possible suspects in my head but none of them fit.When I realized that, I got even more scared because I don't know the enemy or how to find Lana.I was more than glad to know there were cameras on the streets where her apartment building is located. It wasn't hard to find the car they took her in.“Lana” I heard Beatrice call, and then my bedroom door pushed open.Beatrice ran to her sister and engulfed her in a tight hug while I stood up from the bed, my eyes falling on Ryan.“I was so scared,” Beatrice says.“You're suffocating me” Lana taps her sister lightly.“Sorry,” Beatrice pulled away.“

025 The Meeting

Lana “I don't think it's a good idea for you to meet him especially since he might be one of the one who led to your kidnapping,” Beatrice tried to talk me out of going to meet Cole. I waited for Jenna this morning after I was done with my shift and asked her to help get through to Cole so I could talk to him, I tried calling him using my phone, but it always went to voice mail. I told him to meet with me this afternoon, and he readily agreed, which was weird, because why wouldn't he take my call? I didn't tell him why I wanted to see him or anything concerning my kidnapping just to be on a safer side. “I have to meet with him myself to know what's going on,” I said, and Beatrice pressed her lips together. “Why don't you let Karl handle it?” She asked, and I paused. I definitely can't let Karl handle things because this is way deeper than my kidnapping. It's about my mother. I could still remember the disappointment on Karl's face when I demanded to come back home immediately

026 Why Is Ethan Pierce In My House

LanaI turned and I met Karl, standing not too far from me. “I told you to wait in the car," I walked towards him.“And you expect me to?” Karl asked.“Isn't that why instructions are given?” I snapped.“He is lying,” Karl said, and I blinked.There's no way Karl heard our conversation except... he has super human hearing, which is next to impossible.Right?“Did you hear our conversation?” I asked, just to be sure he doesn't have super hearing.“No, but I can read lips and people's actions too. He looks too calm, and that is not good,” Karl replied, walking towards the car, and I followed behind him."You're also too calm," I retorted."Why are you so inclined on defending him?" Karl questioned, I could tell he is losing his cool a little.Wait... Is he jealous? Definitely not!“How do you know he is lying? he looks genuine to me, though. I may not know Cole that well, but he doesn't give off that kind of vibe,” I said as we got to Karl's car.“Love, if you keep relying on vibe, you

027 Safe With You

Lana“What are you doing here?” I asked.“I need you to talk to your boyfriend,” Ethan said.“Boyfriend?” I asked, not sure what he was talking about, then it hit me. He is talking about Karl. “What do you mean?” I raised an eyebrow.“It's all your fault! I wouldn't have ended up like this if it weren't for you,” Ethan screamed, and I flinched.What on earth is he talking about. “Don't blame me for your unfortunate situation. You just can't face the fact that karma is real,” I snapped.“Karma?” Ethan scoffed. “Your boyfriend did this to me because of you, I don't know how you convinced him or how you managed to wrap him around your fingers, but I know you are behind it!” He yelled, walking closer to me, and I stepped back.“I didn't do anything!” I retorted. “You need to leave right now!” I said, trying to walk past him to my door when he held my wrist.Nausea hit me like a wave as I relived through the memory of what happened last time.I suddenly forgot how to breathe, and my heart

028 Already Addicted

KarlI knew this day would come sooner or later, Lana would definitely question me about Ethan, but I didn't expect Ethan to go to her.That useless idiot.I can't believe he frightened her so much she was crying, refusing to go home, drenched in the rain.“You were behind what happened to his family, right?” Lana said to me and wondered if I should tell her or not.I'm pretty sure she had figured it all out. there's no need to lie. “Yes,” I admitted, and she sighed.“Why?” She asked me.“Isn't it obvious? He's an asshole and he hurt you, i can't just turn a blind eye. You know that,” I told her plainly.Lana stared at me with that same look again, the one I can't really understand.“You did it for me?” She asked.“Yes, why would I bother myself with someone like him if it weren't for you, if it were up to me, you wouldn't even get to see him ever again,” I replied and immediately regretted my words.Fuck, I just implied that I wanted him dead, the look on Lana's face told me everythi

029 Too Late To Let Go

KarlLana pulled me up by the collar, and my knee left the ground as I tower over her, deepening the kiss.My tongue brushed over hers, and damn she tastes fuçking intoxicating, she pulled me closer to her, and fuçk If this is the way she kisses me, I won't survive it if this goes on.I nibble at her lips slowly as I sit beside her on the couch, our lips almost pulling apart, but she straddles me on the couch, taking me by suprise.I didn't even give myself the time to reason. All I can think about is the taste of her lips and the feel of her against me.My hands found their ways to her hip bone, pulling her closer to me, and she wrapped her hands around my neck.My cock which was right below her ass hardened and I know she felt it, I pulled away slowly and rested my head against hers, we both try to catch our breath.“You taste fuçking divine, and I am simply a mere mortal to resist,” I tell her truthfully, my voice hoarse.“I already told you to stop saying things like that,” she sm

030 Trusting Him

Lana “I swear, I have no idea who she is or what she is doing here,” Karl said behind me, but I didn't stop to look at him. I like the fact that he is putting in the effort to explain to me, I really want to know who she was and what she was doing in his house. How did she even know here he stays? “you don't need to explain,” I replied, feigning ignorance as I walked into the kitchen, and Karl followed behind me. “I do, I know you want an explanation even though you're not ready to admit it,” He told me, walking closer to me. “Didn't you say you have a meeting by 8 a.m? You'd be late,” I reminded him, completely ignoring his statement. Karl grabbed my hand and pulled me towards him. It was so unexpected that I ended up crashing on his hard chest. My eyes met his, and he smirked. “Love, jealousy doesn't look good on you, but I love it anyway,” he said and brought his face closer to mine. “There’s no need for you to be jealous, I don't even know her name,” Karl chuckled l
