Susan's POV

“You can't run, Susan. You're dead already. I'd derive pleasure in strangling you to death,” he threatened me and managed to stand up from the bed.

Finally, the door opened in my favour after several failed attempts. On the verge of escaping, Paul pounced on me and pulled me back.

I tried to fight back, but he was too strong for me to handle.

He grabbed me by the neck and restricted my airflow. “Die, you bitch! You don't deserve to stay alive,”

  • Secrets and Second Chances    Chapter 78: One man Army

    Nicole's POV “I fucking told you. You were never going to get away with your crime. So tell me, who's the boss now?” The hotel manager emerged outside to taunt me. He had already wrapped his head with a bandage to stop the blood from dropping profusely. I thought I had silenced him for life by smashing his head with the gun. I didn't realize that I was building his confidence. I punctured my gaze at him with so much despair. I wasn't satisfied that I smashed his head. I wished I had disfigured his legs with my bullet. Had I done what needed to be done, he wouldn't have had the nerves to speak to me in this manner. “Once this is all over, I'm coming back to haunt you,” I made my intention known to the manager. Not even the presence of the cops could scare me a bit. This isn't my first encounter with the cops. A few years ago, I ran away from prison for a few days to my final hearing at the court. It all happened in Thailand when I was arrested alongside my gang after I

  • Secrets and Second Chances    Chapter 77: Guns up

    Nicole'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

  • Secrets and Second Chances    Chapter 76: The spy

    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

  • Secrets and Second Chances    Chapter 75: Eyes on the prize

    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

  • Secrets and Second Chances    Chapter 74: Running Away From Home

    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

  • Secrets and Second Chances    Chapter 73: Heart Of A Man

    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

    Tony Woods's POV“Who's calling your phone at this hour?And don't you dare lie to me because I'm going to find out,” I challenged Sean. I didn't give him a chance to speak up first, knowing that he would lie. “It ain't my phone. Why are you probing me? You should check yours.Or don't you have

    Tony Woods POV“Sir, I hope you do know that you're the one delaying this investigation, right?I wouldn't want you to play the victim card when the table gets turned in your favor. For crying out loud, it's getting late, and we haven't done anything significant,” Marcus told me, even when I warn

    Tony Woods's POV“Can someone please say something already? Don't fucking sit here and do nothing while I die in silence. Have you two known each other before?” I lost my cool and yelled at them. The silent treatment was beginning to mess with my head. They made it seem like I was insane when no
