Yvonne stood in the dimly lit street, her mind was clouded with different thoughts. It was a cold, dark night, and she just wanted to get home, but she had first, wanted to clear her mind. She narrowed her eyes at the man standing before her, his face was barely visible as the night protected him. His voice was etched with confidence, as if he knew what had happened before now. “What kind of deal?” She asked, trying to make out his face. The man’s lips curled into a smirk. “It’s simple,” he said, his tone calm. “I want Quinn, and you want Harrison. We both have a common goal, don’t we? To get what we want, we work together, and once we’ve both gotten what we want, we go our separate ways.” Yvonne frowned, her mind working through his ordeal. This was not the first time she had been offered a deal, but this one was something she would benefit from for a lifetime. The idea of teaming up with a stranger to achieve her desires was quite appalling. Her thoughts drifted to Quin

"JB."He muttered, almost inaudibly.The initials hit him like a punch in the face, and without thinking, Harrison snatched the phone from her hand. His hand shook slightly as he stared at the screen, the call still ringing. "Who is it, Harry? Is everything alright?" JB was not someone Quinn would want to know. JB was her traumatizing past; the one who almost destroyed her.Without a second thought, Harrison answered the call and slipped out of the room, closing the door softly behind him to avoid Quinn getting any bit of their conversation.His heart pounded in his chest, anger and fear swirling within him as he lifted the phone to his ear, looking back, making sure Quinn did not follow him."What do you want?" Harrison’s voice was sharp, cutting through the silence of the stairs. "Good evening to you, Harrison," Jacob's voice came through the line, soft calm. "I see Quinn has already gotten you to play the part of the dutiful boyfriend."Harrison’s jaw clenched. "What do you wan

The sun had barely set when Harrison pulled into the driveway of his parents’ estate.The house stood tall, its grand feature illuminating its worth. It was a place filled with memories.He had not visited the house for a long time, and today, it felt like he had to visit home, now that his father was back.At least, he would not have to face his mother and the woman she brought for him.As he parked and stepped out of the car, the workers greeted him with a bow.He walked up the steps, pausing for a moment at the front door, mentally preparing himself for the evening ahead. His father had just returned to the state after a long business trip, and his mother had insisted on a family dinner to celebrate his return.Harrison knew that tonight’s dinner was not just about his father’s return. His mother had talked about it earlier in the day, and the fact that Yvonne was around.“Harrison,” she had said, her voice sounding calm over the phone, “we need to talk about your future. About ge

Harrison’s heart soared as he slipped the ring onto her finger, his hands, a bit shaky, as he excitedly kissed the back of her palm. He stood up, pulling her into a tight embrace as the room that was silent turned into applause. For a moment, it felt like they were the only two people in the world, wrapped up in their love and happiness, as they locked their gazes.Just as they were about to kiss, the door to the room opened, and someone walked in. Harrison and Quinn turned, thinking it was Yvonne or probably his mother.However, the sight of the person caused them to freeze in shock at the sight of the person standing there.It was Jacob.The room fell silent like a graveyard as Jacob stepped forward, no one could tell his expression. He glanced at Harrison, then at Quinn, his eyes shifting from them to the ring.“Jacob?” Quinn breathed, her voice filled with surprise and confusion. “Wh... what are you doing here?”Jacob looked at her, his expression, calm. “I came to see you, Quin

The decision to visit him in prison had been a difficult one, but the need to confront him, to understand his motives, had been too strong to ignore. She wanted to know what he was up to. She wanted to be clear because the expression he wore on Quinn's birthday seemed like he was backing out of their initial agreement, but now, it seemed like he had something up his sleeves.The prison was cold and unwelcoming like it was not a place she needed to be. Yvonne walked through the corridors, her heart racing as she thought of how best to face Jacob. She had rehearsed what she would say to him, and how confident she would act, but as she sat in the visitor's room, all she had planned to say seemed to have slipped into oblivion, leaving her bare.Jacob was brought out of his cell, led by a police officer to the room, his hands clasped together, and a smile played on his lips as he looked up at her. He did not look like how a normal prisoner would look. He was calm like this was his home
