“Ok, can you talk to her?” Rindley asked Lucy while she was heading to the door, in order to go to university. “No, Rindley! She doesn’t want to talk about it.” “She saw me, Lu. Please… just try.” He was pleading and Lucy knew that Rindley was not one to ask favors like that, begging. “Fine, I’ll see what I can do.”“Thank you!” He said with a big smile. Brandon was already waiting for Lucy. He asked to get her to college and she said yes, of course. She wanted to be around him all the time. Sometimes, Lucy got confused, because Friedrich was very different from Brandon. As much as they looked like, Friedrich was much more confident, had a self control that Brandon was still learning. Riedrich was also much stronger, physically. Lucy had not seen him without his shirt, but she saw it opened and she spent the night dreaming about that. Then, sometimes, Friedrich would say and do things as Brandon used to do. Even their kiss was the same. Maybe Friedrich was a bit more… demanding,

Brandon had a last-minute meeting and ended up having to text Lucy that she should take a cab to the company as Ellie would be at the meeting with him and couldn’t go fetch her, so."Everything is fine, love . As soon as the cab arrives, I’ll let you know. I love you." She replied and also sent kissing emojis. Brandon smiled as he read that, replying that he too loved her.As she walked out of class, she had barely stepped out of the building when someone grabbed her arm."Ouch!", she whimpered.“Do you think you can just end our engagement?” Damon glared at her with furious eyes. She was confused by what was happening.Yes, Lucy had told her parents that she wanted to end the engagement as she would not marry Damon, refusing to enter the church or even the registry office. But she didn't know that her parents had already communicated the decision to the Montgomerys. In fact, she didn't even know if they would actually agree with her.“Damon, let me go!” She begged and tried to free h

Brandon looked at the police officer, seriously. “No, sir. I didn’t.” He said. “I came here because of the video I saw about my girlfriend being dragged here by Mr. Montgomery. I didn’t even lay a finger on him, since she kicked him, as I told you. And then, we heard the noises.”“And then, you didn’t call the police right away?” The police officer asked.“The signal here is very difficult. You can see by yourself, officer.” Brandon pointed to the forest. “And the lady?” “What about her?” Brandon frowned. “Has she did done more than just kick Mr. Montgomery?”Brandon clicked his tongue. “She is a small woman, officer. She kicked him in the right place, but not enough to kill him. Please, do talk to her. You’ll see she is harmless.”“A woman who kicks a man right in the balls is no harmless.” The officer laughed. “I’ll go talk to her. Thanks for your testimony, Mr. Ashford.” “My pleasure.” Brandon stayed with Chung-hee, watching as the police officer went to Lucy and started to

“Brandon, we have looked everywhere!” Ellie said, almost crying. She liked Lucy and she feared for the girl’s life. Do you think… ?” Brandon put the black rose on the table. “They took her. And it is my fucking fault!” He should have listened to Chung-hee, he should have backed away from Lucy, for a while. But no, he couldn’t control himself. Then, something flashed in his mind “What is it?” Ellie asked, noticing he changed his face expression. “What if she is pregnant?” He mumbled. “Come again?” Ellie frowned. “Her mother thought she might be pregnant!” He repeated, this time, louder. “My woman might be carrying my child! They took they both!” Chung-hee had not gone to the party because he had issues to solve. There was an attack in another part and now, Brandon suspected it was all part of the plan, so Chung-hee would not be around to help protect Brandon and Lucy. “What has the security said?” “Nothing. Those fuckers got to mess with our security system.” Brandon got up f

Rindley and Ellie decided to keep their relationship a secret. There were a few reasons for this. For starters, the fact that Brandon, Ellie's friend, was going through the trouble of Lucy's disappearance; then there was also the question of danger, as it was not known exactly who the kidnapper was and what he wanted; More so, Rindley's family, who wouldn't want their son to marry a girl with no relevant name in society. And Ellie wasn't about to say how much money she had just to ensure a relationship,, even if it was with Rindley."I want to marry you, Ellie." Rindley declared and she looked at him startled."Rindley… we just… for the first time.""And? I know I just want you.” He shrugged as he caressed Ellie's shoulders, lying on his chest. "I didn't get involved with any women after I met you, Ellie.""Are you saying it just to keep sleeping with me?" she asked, provoking him, but thrilled. Ellie thought that Rindley, who had a reputation as a womanizer, had dated several women i
