Stealing Home Sherryl Woods Novels & Stories

Ryder possessed the unnatural strength to crush a track runner's chest cavity, and he warned me about lethal creatures hiding in the dark woods just last night. I could not survive this terrifying new reality if I remained ignorant about the billionaire Blackwood family, so I made a reckless choice to secure my own safety. I bent down very quickly, and I scooped the cold plastic card off the floor before I shoved it deep into the front pocket of my denim jeans. I stood back up and smoothed the wrinkles out of my dark sweater, while I glanced around the empty desk area to ensure nobody witnessed my bold theft. Ben was still shelving heavy encyclopedias in the back aisles, and Mrs. Gable was b

Dad and I immediately stepped forward to support her. "Help? How exactly?" Dad moved forward, stepping in front of Mom, his voice dangerously low. "Jack sold diseased poultry that killed someone. The evidence is ironclad! That's a crime! What power does Noah have to get a criminal off the hook? Spend money? What happened to all that dirty money you made before?" Jack's head snapped up, his eyes vicious as he hissed. "Uncle Harry, don't be so harsh! If we go down, you won't get off easy either! If Noah hadn't cut off the formula back then—"

I made sure Laura and Kevin arrived home safely, Aria decided to stay over to provide emotional support, and with the hawk’s eye security around the property: Bullet proof drones that attack as a hive, navy seals, martial artists, even hired brutal ex-convicts— the house was an impregnable fortress, even an ant wouldn't go undetected. After the hacking attempt at the hospital, my instinct flared to code red ever since, because the Blackwoods were unpredictable. Striking when you least expected it, I couldn't take chances. Tommy wanted to follow me down here, but I declined. He knew enough already, and I refused to be an open book, all because I was being a coward and afraid of meeting the Bl

Valerie waited for Andre in the bedroom, lying down with her eyes closed but not being able to sleep. When Andre came back, he typed in the password and entered the safe house. Realizing that Valerie was likely sleeping in her room, he went into his, took off his clothes, and entered the bathroom. He felt happy as the water poured on his body, but he knew that his revenge would not be complete until he eventually caught Drew and had the Black Bull under his control. The sound of rushing water made Valerie open her eyes. She had a feeling that someone else was in the house, and she suddenly became scared.

At first she was appalled that there were still kids like kira out in the woods, that she asked Kira to immediately take her and some other men down to where she used to live with the other kids. “Blood of Jesus” she had shouted when Kira had began the exciting task of leading them down the path that was supposed to take them to her home but the excitement quickly dampened when Kira soon realized that she didn’t know exactly which way led to home. From the interaction that had passed between Sister Geraldine and the mini army she had brought along, it seemed she was leading them to a bad forest that no one was supposed to ever enter. Sister Geraldine proceeded to pull Kira by the ear and yel

"Yeah, it's the holidays. Nobody wants to get dragged into a murder case." Jonathan clearly had no intention of letting things end there. He pulled out his phone and tapped into an e-commerce app. "I found his account. Just like I said, he's been stealing women's underwear and selling it online. It's disgusting." He deliberately angled the screen toward a few of the women nearby, and they were instantly outraged. "Wait, that's the lingerie I lost a few days ago!" Her husband immediately stepped forward and slammed his fist into my face. "You've got some nerve stealing my wife's underwear. I'll kill you!"

The Shaw residence wasn't far from here, as it was investments from Jeffrey and my fiancé, Ivor Rhett, that funded the research institute. To be closer to me, they even built two villas nearby, adjacent to each other. These were my two homes. But now, there was no place for me in either villa. When I arrived, the household staff were openly hostile, too. "Mr. Shaw has said that you are no longer part of the Shaw family. How do you still have the gall to show up here?" "Someone steals 20 years of someone else's life and still has the audacity to stick around."

“You’re my little brother. The only family I’ve got left. I’m not letting you slip away because I can’t scrape together some stupid number. I’ll find it. I’ll work double shifts, sell everything I own, whatever it takes.” He looked at her for a long moment, eyes shiny. “You already sold everything. Remember when you pawned Mom’s necklace last year? You cried in the car after. I heard you.” “That was nothing,” she said quickly. “This is different. This is you.” A nurse knocked once and poked her head in. “Pain meds are due. You want them now?” “Yeah,” her brother said. “Make it quick.” While the nurse adjusted the IV, Lina stepped to the window and stared out at the city lights. The glass fel

When they pulled up to Blackwood Industries, the paparazzi were already waiting. Click. Flash. "Is it true you're divorcing the Devil?" "Are you the next victim?" "Did Robert Gray pay you off?" Sherry stepped out in heels sharp enough to slit a throat and a navy blazer that clung to her body like armor. She didn't flinch. She didn't blink. Inside, whispers danced down the halls like fire. "Contract wife..." "CEO's sex puppet..." "She's leaving..." "She's staying..." "Dead girl walking"

After all the paperwork was finalized, Brad and his family were finally released. I could not resist asking, “Where did you get the million? Did you take out a loan?” “It’s none of your business!” Brad’s tone was arrogant and laced with something cryptic. “Wendy, you’re heartless, ungrateful, and disloyal. You will end up paying for it in the end.” I rolled my eyes. “Lunatic.” I temporarily moved into a hotel. The damage to the apartment was so severe that every time the agent brought potential buyers to view it, they were scared off by it looking like a crime scene. The place remained unsold.
