LOGINNicole's POV “Turn on the damn speaker,” I snarled at Clara as the call went through. “I want to be part of the conversation,” “End the call,” I changed my mind. “Don't make me repeat myself. Just do it!” At first, she hesitated. “You practically asked me to initiate the call. Why the sudden change of decision? Why are you always this confused?” “You dare not ask me silly questions. Just obey the damn instructions. I am not in the mood to answer any of your silly questions,” I made it clear to her. It was important for me to maintain my dominance over Clara. She is slowly disrespecting me. She needs to understand that there can only be one boss here, and that's me. “Good!” I applauded her. “You made the right decision. “You were so lucky that no one answered the phone. I had already planned your slow and painful death,” I folded my punch so she could see its size. “Now listen to me,” I pulled her ears as though she were my daughter. “I love it when people pay attentio
Nicole's POV “You're declared wanted by the federation,” Clara finally ignited my burning rage. I thought it was a fluke until she said. “Are you that blind not to read the handwriting on the fucking wall?” “What did you just say?” I freaked out. The panic spread around my body like a waistline. How I didn't collapse to the news is more than just a miracle. “You are definitely lying, and I am not falling for that,” I doubted her. “You don't know what you're talking about. You've lost your mind. You just haven't found that one person to tell you,” I paced around the lodge as though I were searching for a lost item. Then I went back to her. “I need evidence. I don't believe the words you're saying. You can't start fabricating stories in the head that never happened,” “Did you just call me a liar?” She coughed while still struggling to hold her breath. Seeing how uncomfortable she was, it just dawned on me that I was this close to murdering an innocent lady out of rage. “Y
Nicole's POV This is precisely what I hoped and wished for. Finally, I got what I deserved. Slowly, I pulled out of the garage and stormed outside my car. I wasn't rushing to walk into the reception. Rather, I scanned the entire building, just to be sure no one was watching me from afar. “The coast is clear for me to act fast,” I said to myself before gesturing to the reception. Despite having my gun slotted in my pocket, I was still careful enough not to fall prey to Kane for the second time. “I need a room, please,” I spoke nicely to the receptionist. “How much does a room cost?” She paused to stare at me as though I reminded her of someone. She was motionless as though she had just been electrocuted. “Hey,” I snapped my fingers at the receptionist. “Why are you staring at me like that? Have we met before?” “Nope,” she refuted. “Of course, not. I don't think we've met before.” “Sorry, what did you say again?” She called my attention to my first question. “I
Nicole's POV How I managed to escape from Kane's web of massive destruction and endless suffering remains a mystery. I can't imagine what would have happened if he had caught me. Not even the universe would have done anything to stop Kane and Lady Dragon from strangling me to death with their bare hands for stabbing him in the back on what could have been the biggest drug heist of all time. For several weeks, I thought I had escaped from Kane when he didn't reach out. I could have sworn that he was ready to forfeit the money. Then, suddenly, he showed up out of the blue to revisit the past I had put behind me. It didn't occur to me that Kane would locate my hotel room. The last time I checked, I changed my mobile device to stop him from reaching out to me. Several years ago, before Angela got married to Tony Woods, we were both loyal servants to Kane. He used us to carry out some of his shady deals like drug peddling, theft and other notorious crimes. Not un
Angela's POV “Wait a minute. You stabbed him, an innocent man, just to prove what exactly? How could you even do such a thing? Why are you so cruel?” Nicole berated me after we arrived in our hotel room. Bloody ingrate! I never expected such an attitude from him. I deserve a big hug for my actions. I literally took a huge risk to save his life. I could have got myself arrested in the process, too. Is this the mother fucking thanks I get for spilling the so-called innocent blood just to rescue the one I love? I just risk my life for nothing. Now the cops will be after me. They'd do everything to ensure I am apprehended and thrown behind bars. I had the option of abandoning Nicole at the station and running away with Kelly. I had enough funds to relocate to any city of my choice without the fear of being traced by the FBI or New York police department. But no! What did I do? My love for Nicole dragged me back to come save him. That nasty decision I took has now come ba
Susan's POV “You stopped by at Paul's house?” I stuttered. Words failed me to express how I'm feeling right now. It's as though someone hurled the world on my fucking back. “Yes, I did,” Ethan affirmed. “Are you surprised? Is there something you want to say to me?” “Nah! I'm good,” I denied. As much as I want to admit it, I can't bring myself to tell Ethan what happened at Paul's house. He will never believe me. He'd have every reason to believe that I had sex with Paul. Regardless of how hard I want to explain myself to him, he will still see me as a pathetic liar. “So here's what I found out,” Ethan cleared his throat to speak. He was about to speak further when his phone rang. I felt a sensation of relief in my soul. The call was my saving grace. I needed a bit of distraction away from Ethan and I finally found one. I kept my focus on Ethan, hoping that he would answer the phone. None of that happened. Ethan was hell-bent on having this conversation with me. “Y
Tony Woods' POV As Angela approaches our direction, my impatience gets the best of me. “Go after her now,” a voice said to me. “Don't sleep on it,” “Do you wish to see her escape? Won't you love to see her suffer for what she did to you?” For the second time, the voice spoke to me. I chose no
Susan's POV After the meeting Paul and I had with Mr. Woods, I still haven't found rest. Different thoughts keep running through my head, and I don’t even want to imagine any of them coming true. It would destroy me completely. My phone beeped again. I glanced at the notification and realiz
Tony Woods' POV “Stop that man.Don't let him get an inch close to the interrogation room. He's going to do something crazy," Officer Patrick instructed his other officers.Instantly, they stood before me and formed a shield to block my exit.Soon, Patrick joined me as he panted heavily. I gave
Chapter 55Tony Wood's POV“Wait a minute, did you just hear that?” I called Patrick's attention to the tiny voice I heard. “Heard what? What are you talking about? Are you starting to hear things that aren't real?” Patrick mocked me. He didn't think I was telling the truth. “Have you forgotten
