Not A Wasted Trip

ROXANNE I held my stomach as I continued to expel my breakfast in a stream of disgusting, undigested food particles. He handed me the bottle of water he had gone to get from his car once he saw me vomiting.A bit flushed with embarrassment, I took it. I rinsed my mouth and washed my face, then drank the rest. "Let's go back." I urged, carefully keeping my gaze away from the burnt-to-crisp corpse lying stiffly under the open sky, preferring to keep it locked on what used to be a small building burnt to the ground at a walking distance from this big, old building.He didn't argue. Just led the way out of there, back into the jeep. We didn't say anything until he neared the rows of old, neat houses we had passed on our way coming. I let the air conditioner in the vehicle flow through my body and calm my nerves, making the last of the nausea go away."I'll be back." He said, unstrapping and getting down before I could ask what he was doing. I watched him, with a curious expression, i

At Coffee And Croissant

ROXANNE"Hey," When we arrived at Coffee And Croissant, I could see Rochelle already stepping out of her own car. 'Nice' was came to mind when I saw what kind of car she had just stepped out from. She must be doing so well for herself. She had spotted us, approaching us to engulf me in a quick, friendly hug, then she pulled back to study my expression. "Are you okay? Are you good?"I nodded, letting a smile form on my lips. "Yes, I'm good. You?""Good." Her pretty eyes were still intent on my face, "you look...unusual?"I was already shaking my head, "I am fine, Rochelle. Let's go inside."She still retained her concern for me, but said nothing more. She shifted her gaze to Kylian, "hello." She greeted, her tone shifting from concerned and friendly to respectful and cool. He nodded in acknowledgement, "hi, Rochelle."She hooked her arm around mine and walked us ahead, Kylian behind us. Once we were seated and had made our order, Rochelle looked at me again, "are you sure you're o

A Delivery For Her

ROXANNE "Uh...what?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing."Yeah. I don't know what it means either. Maybe it's just drunk talk, because Chantel agreed you were all high that night. She said she remembered you all laughed over it.""I...I do hope so." I licked my dry lips."Alright, I really do have to leave now." She gave my face a quick search, then pulled me into a hug, "call me if you need a friend, okay?""Thank you." For some reason, the sincerity of the friendship she was extending brought me relief. Since I woke up from coma, I've never had any friends to talk to. If I had any worries, Mom was my go-to. It would be nice to have someone my age to talk to for once. "Alright, bye." She hurried back to her car, waved and drove out of there. Kylian and I entered our vehicle. Silence reigned as he began the journey back home. Lost in my thoughts, I was jolted back to reality when I heard his phone ring and the automated voice of his virtual assistant call out the ID of the call

Message From Dr Bernard Randall

ROXANNE Warily, I tore the envelope open and some papers neatly folded slipped out. Carefully, I opened the first one and read through its contents. A gasp escaped from my mouth. "I-it's from Dr. Bernard Randall."Kylian and mom scooted closer to read the letter with me. By the time I was done, my eyes welled with tears as anger filled my heart. "So Vanessa's parents planned to kill you and take everything?" Mom's mouth was agape. I couldn't even say a word. The letter had finally revealed all there was to reveal. Bernard Randall, the doctor who had saved my life with his dead brother had sent these evidence. How Vanessa's parents had paid him to kill me when I was in coma six years ago. "Ethan is your son?" Mom couldn't hide her shock, disbelief and confusion.Ethan, who had long since left my side to go play alone, upon hearing his name, finally looked up from his toys. He met my gaze and his tiny baby brows furrowed. "Mommy, what's wrong?" He stood from his position on the f

The Owner Of Krystal Tech

VANESSA Wearing my most effective smile, I knocked on the door of the apartment my private investigator had told me the very person I wanted to see lived. No answer.Another small, patient knock.I heard the shuffling of feet, and then the door opened. I was surprised to see the person standing before, not at all what I was expecting.Exceptionally young, about my age or maybe older by a year or two. Ridiculously good looking with blonde hair that seemed to fall into his face and blue eyes that were dull in color, compared to my striking blue, but sharp in perception. Those eyes roamed my figure, studying and silently wondering, I could tell. "Yes?""Are you Marcus Linestter?" I asked, keeping my smile on. "Why?" He quirked a brow. "Don't you recognize me?" Being the heiress of Gilmore, I didn't need to introduce myself anymore.People knew me, and accorded me respect. But not this guy. This guy didn't seem to harbor anything for me right now except curiosity and a cool expressi

More About Her Parents

ROXANNE"Your paternal uncle." Kylian announced the moment I handed him a glass of water. He'd just returned from an 'emergency' he'd rushed out of the house about thirty minutes ago. "What?" My brows furrowed, a bit puzzled."Vanessa's father is your paternal uncle. He's brothers with your late father.""Oh, wow." I let that particular information settle. There was no longer surprise or shock, just curiosity. I wanted to know more. "How are you able to know this?" "I told you I have someone on it."I watched him, absentmindedly, drink from the glass, emptying its contents in seconds. So Vanessa was my paternal cousin, huh? Hmm... interesting, I thought."So what else did you find?" Ethan was with mom in her apartment. These days, he hardly was home with us, except at nights when he returned to be fed, bathed and put to bed. Sometimes he would have my mom come up with him to do all of those things for him, and mom — who claimed she was bored from not working — was all too happy t

Comfort And Lunch

ROXANNE "It's okay, Roxanne. You'll be fine, alright?" He comforted, his voice deeply soothing, "this is why we're doing everything possible to make sure their achievements and everything they had planned for you does not go to waste."I focused on his words, letting the voice soothe away the sadness and guilt, "I–I should be able to remember them. I don't know why I'm not able to." A sniffle, I held onto him as though I was all ready to bury myself in the comfort he was generously offering. "No, I do know why. It's just frustrating and annoying. Why can't I remember anything?""Don't let your loss of memory stop you, Roxanne. You were almost killed in that accident. You have the second chance, memory or not, your parents will never have, that should count for something, at least. Make them proud by taking back what's yours." He kissed the top of my hair.It felt more intimate than friendly, it made my pulse thrum subtly, I almost forgot the reason I was in his arms in the first plac

Meeting With Josh

ROXANNE "You came." Josh's eyes roved my body as I made my way to him. I had chosen the place for the meeting — actually, Kylian had chosen it, and I went along with it. It was a hotel, but also housed an outdoor restaurant surrounded by well tended flowers and lighting that gave the feel of intimacy and romance. It was seven pm, and the perfect time for the garden to glow like it was made just for lovers who desired privacy over being surrounded by fellow elites with deep pockets."You wanted to see me." I said in response, feeling powerful, dignified and composed in the new burgundy designer dress Kylian had gotten for me. According to him, looks mattered. "Yes." Something flickered in his gaze. Care? Admiration? Wistfulness?I didn't care. I was just so relieved that I could share a space with him and not feel that tingle beneath my skin or the fluttering in the pit of my stomach anymore. The love was gone...in its place was an irritation — annoyance even — and that was enoug

Kylian To The Rescue

ROXANNE "Are you done?" I raised a brow once he went quiet, no longer ranting.Once again, I was pleased with how I'd handled myself, holding back my anger and letting him display. He shot me some hardcore glare. It only made me laugh. "I'm glad the pretenses have worn off, just as I knew it would." I shook my head, "you know, the fact that you thought you could play me as you did before was some next level audacity, Josh. Well, I know I was not being the smartest person back then with you. All that mattered was i loved you. In fact, I became too blind to actually see what loving you was doing to me..." I caught myself, drew a breath to stop myself. Anger was brewing and he didn't deserve any more emotion from me. He wasn't worth going off the leash. So, smoothly, I navigated through the emotions and topic, moving on, "Josh, I didn't come here to entertain your foolishness," His eyes flashed but I continued like I hadn't just calmly insulted him to his face, "neither did I come h

The Gilmores' Lawyer

KYLIAN "Good morning, Mr. Stiles?" I rose, extending my hand towards the bald headed, middle aged man.His appearance was impeccable; well combed blonde hair, even though it was thinning, his finely ironed charcoal grey suit and polished black loafers. He was average height, had a slightly robust build that I didn't have to ask how it came about. He had money...or more rightly put, he had made money off the pain and desolation of a young girl whose parents had entrusted the wrong man to secure their daughter's future with. "Mr Cobblestone?" He took the hand, his expression pleasant.I nodded, "yes. And you're the barrister who wants to buy the Lakewood property, right?" "Yes.""Have a seat." I gestured him to the unoccupied one opposite mine. I had arranged for the meeting to be in one of my restaurants. For a man like him, it was better to be in my space, just in case he tried to bolt. I would have my men around to stop his escape.It wasn't hard to track the lawyer Roxanne's pa
