The second bodyguard—that is, the one who had stood while the door was being opened by the others — packed quite a punch. Tony realized so when he rolled out his way and his fist heat the wooden wall. But being outnumbered meant whatever move you were taken had to be calculated smoothly such that as he rolled out of the second bodyguard's path, he was rolling into the first one with an attack move. Tony sent a side kick to the head of the first one who blocked it my lifting his arm to his head but Tony was quick to react because he regained his balance again and was dishing out combos. A side punch aimed at the jaw, a jab and, then a front kick at the bodyguard's chest behire grabbing his arm and hurling him over. Tony didn't have time to catch his breath, the second one was on to him with a knife drawn out this time. Tony understood that he couldn't have murder in his hands, or commit one in a Logan's house because if two reasons. One, he didn't have the connections to get himself

Isabel slammed her bedroom's door close and leaned her back against it. Her heart was beating fast and her her chest heaved as she tried to hold in everything. Ethan and Lorena, she pictured him together. If you looked at her family, she as better than Lorena but if you looked at individual achievements, Lorena was far better. Isabel lets her mind drift over to Lorena's remark at the table earlier when she had doused Ethan with her wine. “As much as I hate wimps I can't help but think that if I had married one I would have stayed married.” Married one, stay married. This two.wordds went on and on in her head like some chant, stirring up images of Ethan being her fourth and last husband. All Lorena needed to do was offer Ethan all she hasn't given to him in his marriage mad he was hers.No! Isabel's eyes grew wider. Ask Lorena had to do was pay off Ethan's bills. That was it. That was all it took for Ethan to slip off her hook. Isabel shuddered. What had they been discuss before she

The rain had other plans for them obviously and so did fate because the rain didn't stop falling and by the time the rain stopped, Tony was knocked out from crying and drinking. Ruby frowned at her predicament, staring at their Tony while Tony slept peacefully in her shoulder that was beginning to ache. “Shhhh!” Ruby hit herself in the side of her head softly with the heel of her palm wondering what she was going to do next. She had a man as heavy as a bull to drag to go knows where. She didn't know his house and from the looks of it, waking him up to ask him was a bad idea. Mustering all of her strength, she pushed Tony to the side and then realized that the force was too much so she tried to prevent him from hitting his head against the wall. Ruby roved over the mess of their table, she had joined him in drinking so she was but tipsy. Illegal to drive but she knew she could manage herself home. She stood up, walked to her side of the booth and grabbed her purse. She was goi

Ruby scanned the plaques on each table when she got in. The restaurant was fairly large and it had this toning down effect and ambience such that when you walk in, you would think that the lightning was lowered. She found plaque 26 but it wasn't empty as a man was seated there with his back turned to her. By the time she got to the reserved table, she realized that the man was the one that had bumped into her that morning at the company and had ruined her heels without apologizing. That incident still slightly infuriated her. “I think you're at the wrong table.” Ruby addressed the gentleman with a formal tone. Luka looked at her with a be slight frown. “I know that I'm not at the wrong table. Thanks for your concern though.” “No sir, I'm pretty sure you're at the wrong table because I am meeting someone here and is definitely not you.” Ruby insisted, her eyebrows lifted defiantly. Luka put down the book he had been sticking his nose in and released an annoyed sigh like he was dea

“Where do you wanna go?” Ruby asked in a strained voice that showed her discomfort, her face was in a permanent frown. Tony's gaze was fixated outside her window. “Just keep driving,” he replied.“Huh!” Ruby took her eyes off the road for a second to glance at him. “Look, I don't have the time and the fuel to drive around aimlessly.”Tony turned his head to look at her with a slightly amused expression, his eyebrows were slightly raised. “That's funny considering your financial status. You can afford anything, burning fuel shouldn't be something to complain about.”“Ha!” Ruby gave a humorless laugh. “Unlike you Logans, I don't have the habit of spending frivolously.” One glance, and she saw the hardness in his eyes. “I told you never to compare me to the Logans again.”“You remember?”Tony's annoyance disappeared like volatile gas at her surprised tone. “Were you expecting me not to remember what I said?”“I mean…” Ruby struggled to find words for a short moment, thinking about how
