Chapter Eleven: Runaway bride

RenetaI just wanted to go home and restart my life. But there was no use crying over spilled milk. I just wanted to sleep and wake up to find the contract was over and that I had never met Drent.We got into our hotel room, and I stood with my hands pressed against my cheeks, staring at the bed like it had personally offended me. It was large enough for four people and still somehow felt like the most complicated object I had ever been in a room with.Drent moved past me without a word, pulling open the wardrobe and reaching inside for his pyjamas like this was the most ordinary evening of his life. Which, for him, it probably was."You can breathe, you know," he said without turning around. "Sleep on the bed if you're tired. I'm not going to bite you, Peach."I dropped my hands from my face and straightened because I was not going to stand there looking like a woman who had never shared a room before."I am fine," I said, chinning up.Drent pulled his shirt over his head, and the ro

Chapter Twelve: New found obsession

DrentMy eyes opened at exactly 5am, and only then did I realise how deeply I had slept. My throat felt scratchy and I rolled off the couch toward the table to get some water.I did not notice immediately. It was only when I turned around with the glass in my hand that I saw the bed was empty.Empty as in, Reneta was gone.The glass slipped from my fingers before I could catch it and hit the floor, shattering into pieces.I walked over to the bed to confirm I was not still dreaming. She was really gone.I exhaled slowly through my teeth. I remembered her telling me the night before that she wanted to go back home that same night because of her mom. I had clearly said no, because I knew Chicago was not kind to strangers after dark.I had not expected her to be stubborn enough to run at midnight. I should have known. As curvy and feisty as she looked, she was also the most headstrong woman I had ever met.This was on me. A pin drop could normally wake me, but for some reason I had slept

Chapter Thirteen: No way home

RenetaI had left his hotel at one in the morning. It was already seven and I still had not gotten a ride home. Five hours of waiting under a bridge for daylight to break had been worth it. Drent would not have let me leave anyway.All he cared about was the ball, which I had no issue attending, but my mom needed me. I needed to be home. And the screening on top of everything else meant that staying in Chicago one more day could literally wreck my life.I walked through the streets of Chicago in a crop top and baggy joggers that hung loosely on my frame.The doctor's call came in and he needed to know I was on my way."Hey, Doc. Sorry I could not get back to you yesterday. I am already on my way home. How is my mom?" I said quickly, walking as I spoke, my bag hanging from my shoulder."She is not good. Her health is declining seriously. We need the money for the surgery." It stung my heart with the same sharp pain it always did, but this time I had something close to a plan."Doctor,

Chapter Fourteen: Lust can't make a right

RenetaThe ache in my body felt worse with each passing second. I sat on the ground trying to fully process what had just happened.I had just been robbed in the middle of a city I knew nothing about, with a four o'clock deadline to get home and a dying mother in the hospital.My purse was gone. My phone was gone. My bag was gone.Was God punishing me or something, because it honestly felt like every time I got close to making progress, it came crumbling down like a pack of cards.I remembered Drent's warning. Chicago is not kind to strangers. There is always danger lurking around every corner. Do not leave the hotel without me, Reneta.He had been right. But it was not entirely my fault. I had too much waiting for me at home to just sit still.There was no point feeling sorry for myself. Everything was gone and I had to accept it and find my way back.I pushed myself up the way I always did when life knocked me down, though this time with a sharp pain running across my back from the

Chapter Fifteen: two lust can't make a right

RenetaThe space between us was thin as Lance loomed over me with lust tearing through his eyes."I said thirty seconds," he snarled at me again, waiting for me to make a decision."Do not do this. I am warning you," I said to him, my hand already closing around something solid I had felt wedged behind the car seat. I was going to swing it at him for self-defence. My body was beaten up and it was the only option I had. If I missed, I feared he would have his way."Or what?" He grinned and stretched his hand toward me with the clear intention of turning me over.I swung the object at him immediately and it turned out to be a small fire extinguisher. It connected hard with his nose, filling it instantly with blood. He screamed in pain, his eyes blinded by the blood pouring down his face. That was my moment. I used the extinguisher to smash the window and reached through to open the door from outside."You witch," he sneered, pawing at the air trying to find me. I was already panting. I

Chapter Sixteen: Vengeance day

RenetaI had lost it. The perfume. The seventy thousand for my mom's treatment. When the full weight of that realisation landed on me, the pain hit so hard that I stood dizzy for a full five minutes.Was my mom going to die? I stood there confused and hollowed out. I began to imagine my life without her, on top of another six years stuck in school with nothing to show for it.Why was all of this happening to me? I was too exhausted to even cry. So I swallowed the pain, slid back into the truck and pulled both doors shut.I sat there trying to absorb it all. What do I do next? I asked myself. The doctor called and I did not have the courage to pick up. What would I even have said to him?I buried my face against the steering wheel until exhaustion pulled me under and I drifted into a heavy sleep. When I woke up it was already the next day. I was sitting in a stranger's old truck with no plan and no money and nowhere obvious to go.But I could not just sit there. I drove to my rental ap

Chapter Seventeen: Dying Minute

Renata."Please don't shoot. It hasn't gotten like this," I pleaded with him as I stepped back slightly, trying to use the corner of my eyes to look for any way to escape this gunpoint. But it was hopeless, as there was no way.His foot took another step, his expression angrier."You took my car, you injured me, only because I asked for your body.""Only?" I asked, shocked that he had just said only like my body was a commodity used for bargain. This pointed out why I hated men. They saw a woman's body as a transaction and it made me sick. I was trying to stall him, not to let him shoot, but eventually he ran out of patience."I'm done talking." He pulled the trigger and released two shots. I bent my head with a scream, expecting the bullet to reach me in seconds. Expecting the blood to gush out before I could blink.The bullet came out but did not reach me.Because Lance was knocked down from behind and the gun shifted its direction slightly, which shot the wall, passing close to the

Chapter Eighteen: Truth in a bottle

DrentThat familiar fragrance of hers filled the room again, putting a smile on my face that didn't show. I hated that I couldn't admit I was happy she was back, but I was still stung by her stubbornness.It had taken me days to finally find her on my own. Since my men couldn't do the job, I had to do it myself as always.She sat in my car looking as stunning as I had left her. The silence stretched between us as I drove her back to Chicago, and I wasn't planning on letting her go again. I noticed her mouth twitch. She had something to say but didn't want to speak first. It was amusing how she entertained me even doing nothing. She was like this adorable puzzle I was trying to decode, and I loved poking at it all the time. But I had to keep my expression serious, to scare her enough not to run again."Why did you do it? You could have died, you know," I said with my hands still on the wheel."Do what?" she asked, pretending like she didn't know what I was talking about."You ran from

Chapter Nineteen: Never meet your demons

RenataWe arrived in Chicago, the city I had escaped from just about a week ago, and I felt uneasy.The moment our car stopped, some men came to take our luggage inside as Drent got out, took my hand, and led me inside.We got to our room and the place still felt the same way I had left it. Drent walked past me, already pulling off his shirt like I wasn't even in the room. And I looked away quickly before he caught me staring at his abs again.He turned and caught me standing there."Hey, start preparing for the ball. I told you it's by six." I stared, checking my watch."It's just four, and I just got here. Can I at least rest?" He lifted his brows."You have thirty minutes." I sighed. That was enough to rest my already aching back from all the stress I had been through throughout the week.I crashed on the bed. The smell of Drent's cologne had already clung to the sheets and I loved it. In seconds I had fallen into a deep sleep, and in what felt like five minutes Drent came to wake

Chapter Twenty: The Devil incarnate.

Reneta Drent held my hands tightly as his father approached us. I tried to hold my breath, because somehow that made me feel more confident. But nothing seemed to work at that moment. It seemed the closer he got, the more I lost my cool.Why was I making this such a big deal, I thought to myself.Drent could feel the slight distress through my hands and tried to steady me."Just chill, peach"I nodded, and in seconds his father was in front of us, with his mom's arm tightly hung around her husband's hand."Dad," Drent said to him, and I could tell he was forcing a smile. There was a clear tension between them"It is good to see you, father." He turned to his mom, acknowledging her, while I just stood there hollow."I see you brought..." He paused, turning his gaze on me. "Her." I gripped Drent's hand a little tighter, forcing an awkward smile."Yes, father. I brought her. Meet Renata, my girlfriend and my future wife, who will be joining me to run this empire when you are gone." The
