Samantha read through the message again as she could not believe her eyes. Just when she was having a change of mind towards their relationship, he decided to switch up on her.  She felt something tug in her throat, something that looked like nausea, a certain kind of irritation that made her lightheaded. The thought of losing Declan was what did it to her.  She wanted to refrain from going to Declan's mansion but it was obvious she did not have any choice. It was at this point that she realized that she may not be able to give him what he wanted as well. She dialed Anthony's number but he did not answer on the first and second ring.  He was probably carried away by the party. It was the way he was. H

"Kennedy?" Hannah began in disbelief. Just when she was about to put the memories of Australia behind her, here was one showing up before her in flesh and blood. She could not believe her eyes.He was looking strikingly handsome as usual, but this time, he did not look like a bodyguard. He was on a pair of scrubs as well and she was confused about what was happening."What are you doing here? Why are you in scrubs?" She asked him, needing answers to every confusion in her head."I can explain everything, Hannah," he said to her. "Just give me a listening ear," he added.Just then, the MD appeared by the door of the office."What is going on here?" He asked. Hannah did not know if he knew that Kennedy was her bodyguard in Australia, one she had a one-night stand with too. She was also careful of her reputation which was closely linked to her new position. She decided not to overreact."I was just on my way to your office sir," she said, feigning a smile. "I was just saying hello to our

Daniel shot Declan a mischievous grin as he stepped into the courtroom. Declan almost did not recognize him. He looked lean and abandoned, something his well-tailored suit could not conceal as he was brought in. As he walked to his seat, he staggered so much that Declan thought that he would fall to the ground.That was not what Daniel was thinking about. Eight months behind bars had given him enough time to restructure his next move. He had been under the radar intentionally, choosing not to cause any trouble from behind bars. He wanted to come up unannounced and strike when the iron was the hottest.He had taken his time and the money he had stacked up, including his investments to raise a form of funding for his schemes. He knew who to meet and he started at the top. The court proceedings were only a camouflage to fulfill all righteousness. He had watered the hands of people in the system generously, in a way that would guarantee his freedom the following week.The proceedings were

As Micheal dropped the news to Declan, it sounded like a bombshell, one he could not accommodate at all. Every other thing he said afterward fell on deaf ears as a piercing sound rang in his ears, one that shifted him from reality and plunged different thoughts into his head.The thought of his leg being amputated simply meant that he would not be able to walk on his own for the rest of his life. The bullet had lodged in a very sensitive area of his knee and could not be pulled out without an amputation. It was not something any top surgeon would do. He was already in the hospital with the best.If the bullet was left there without removal, it would eventually cause some form of nerve damage, and if it was taken out by force, there would also be some form of nerve damage and severe pain following the healing. He would require a large amount of physiotherapy to get better.He could not believe that Daniel had the upper hand again. If he lost his legs, it seemed like more punishment tha
