Simon regarded the guy tied up in his living room, wondering if the man had to know the truth. Simon already knew something was fishy, and after he herd that Colby had been burned, he had to get to the bottom of it.You see, in this job you don't survive long enough if you don't put your ears to the ground.Simon was not only brilliant with his job but he was equally smart too, he wasn't ready to die unless it was on his own terms.Tyler Redwood was the name you didn't want to hear on a lonely street because it would sense shivers down your spine. Men talked about Redwood, simply because he was good at what he did which was why Simon was inclined to believe him.If Tyler wanted him dead, then that's what would have happened. In a way, they were alike in that manner.“Why should I tell you?” Simon asked, thinking out loud. “You've been chasing this little story for quite a while with little to no results, don't you think that it's a sign?”“A sign?” Tyler looked at him like he was dumb

Katerina went home early enough, bathed using the bathtub, and cooked a very simple meal then she set down to wait for Tyler.She expected him to delay as usual so she started a movie. Halfway through it, she felt sleepy but the thought of meeting with Tyler and confronting him kept her alert even though her lids were drooping every ten minutes.The sound of a car pulling up in the driveway woke her up from a brief nap, making her bolt up off the couch. Immediately, she turned off the TV, in case he got ideas to leave. She waited to hear the key turn in the doorway, sitting in the dark.Tyler sighed, shuffling a couple of steps to switch on the light.The fluorescent bulbs came on, bathing the place in light and she could visibly see Tyler shake up a bit before moving back a step.“Hey, Ty. Surprised to see me?” She purred.He cleared his throat, looking uncomfortable. “Um, no. I just didn't expect you to sit in the dark like a vampire.”She didn't crack a smile at his lame joke, sta

The next day, which was potluck, they spent it outside under a shade as Katerina watched her Mom, Noona and Julie battle it out. Initially, when she woke up this morning, she didn't feel like getting up from the bed but then after thinking things through, she decided to go anyway tired of letting Tyler control her, even from wherever he was.For all she knew, he was off gallivanting and enjoying his life to the fullest.Currently, it was Mom against Julie, and from the looks of things, she was lagging behind.Julie allowed Mom to go first and she chose chicken curry.Apparently, she believed that chicken curry was a meal she was great at cooking but Katerina had first-hand experience…she was mediocre at best.As it was, Mom had already burnt the base to a semi-black crisp and the chicken looked half white, like they weren't properly cooked.Katerina was secretly cheering Julie despite hailing her mother.They took a break, each heading off to different stations to use the restroom wh

Contrary to what Noona promised her, things did not go back to the way it was.It didn't improve but neither did it decelerate any further they just remained in a state of limbo where things were stagnant.It was quite disconcerting but Katerina quickly got used to it. Also, there was an extra pep in her step today, it could be from the fact that an old friend of hers had reached out to her asking to meet up.Katerina was so starved of communication, that she immediately agreed instead of playing hard to get.Or her excitement could be over the fact that Tyler had helped her out this morning.She'd been running low on gas last night, having forgotten to fill up since that was Tyler's job… Only to come out this morning and her tank was filled up.The security cam showed that Tyler got up very early in the morning to help her out before leaving for work.It may not seem like much to a regular person but that small act only showed her that he still cares for her. All she had to do was ma

“Kat, I'm ho.....” Tyler had to stop himself from completing that sentence. By now, you would have thought that he'd have gotten used to not saying it but each day just made it increasingly harder to keep quiet. He groaned, rolling his neck to pop out the kinks. Making his way to the spare room which he'd been using for the past couple of weeks, he decides to look in Katerina's room only to find the bed tidy and the room generally undisturbed.His brows furrowed, the urge to push the door in and check around riding him hard but he ignored it, shutting the door gently.Tyler took a quick shower and then went downstairs to make a quick meal but he kept waiting for Katerina to walk down or even make some kind of noise but nothing. The house was as quiet as a graveyard. It wasn't until he checked in the garage and discovered her car missing that it clicked. Taking the stairs two at a time, he checked in on her room and his suspicions were right.She wasn't home. Everything was the way sh
