109. Macy sat on the couch and leaned back. She was tired.She closed her eyes with a heavy sigh because her heart and body were both tired and Richard noticed.“There is a bed here and you can rest as you wait for me,” he said and she shook her head.Since she came to DC, she had been used to being alone but in the last several months, Richard and Mel had become a part of her life and all she wanted was to be alone when she was feeling so down.She wasn't even used to talikh to anyone about her problems and she thus couldn't even tell Richard what she did as feeling.Richard on his side was still afraid of what could have happened to her if she didn't know how to fight or is she had met professional assassins.His heart was in turmoil and since he could ground a grown woman, he decided to shadow her.She wouldn't leave her alone.Him, like her, was used to dealing with his issues alone and he rarely talked to anyone and he thus wondered how to tell her about his fears.He was in the
110. They had fallen asleep together after a lot of sexercise and it had been long since Macy was that tired.She didn't even notice Richard finish because he went at it like a starved stallion and she had decided to indulge him and after he was done, she felt a cold sensation as he cleaned her body with a wet towel.She had then felt him get into bed next to her and raise her head and she had been lying on his chest.They were startled by the ringing of his phone and Macy sat upright disoriented for a while.What? Where? Oh, hey, your phone is ringing,she said as she laid back again.Macy had been used to such situations when she was still working for Lion and when she was still in China.She was a spy and a soldier in their underground army and she could thus get calls any time of the day or night calling her for a mission.Old habits die hard so they say.Richard groaned and picked the phone as he pulled her with his free hand and made her lie on his chest."Hello?"He looked at the
111. Macy woke up naturally much later in the day. She smelled the room even without opening her eyes and smiled as she stretched herself. “Smells like an expensive room," she said and then remembered where she was.She then opened her eyes and looked around but thankfully, she was all alone.At the bedside table, there was a stick on note:In the office just right outside the door. Call or come if you need anything.There are clothes in the bathroom and good is waiting for you.XoXoXoYour husband.Macy smiled and read and re-read the note. She then hugged it in her hand wondering how she could be this lucky.“Maybe all my differing were preparing me for this," She thought and then yawned.Her brain wanted her to go back to sleep but she knew better than.She took her phone that was at the table and checked the time. It was twenty three minutes past eleven and she gawked at the phone wondering if it was working fine.She could never remember the last day she slept in for so long.
112. “Where are we going?" Macy asked as she sat on the gunshot seat of Richard's convertible.After ehe brunch, she had refused to go out but Richard had promised her that it was okay.He was with her and all was going to be well.“What about your workers? I…” Macy had expressed her doubts and insecurity but Richard was there and didn't even let him finish.“Macy?" He had called her and she looked at him, “do you trust me?" He asked her.“Yes, of course I do," she said and he smiled at her.“Then let's go," he had said simply and she had let him lead her.When they were at the door, he looked back at her, took her hand, smiled and opened the door.Once they were outside, Macy felt like running back to the office but that hold Richard had on her hand made her feel secure and she concentrated on that and followed him.Macy didn't look at anyone but if she had, she would have seen the amazement in the eyes of the two secretaries that were in the executive floor.The guards, as usual, ke
. “Make yourself at home. I am sure that you will like my surprise," Richard said as he walked to a coffee maker and fiddled with some switches and buttons and it started brewing coffee and the aroma drifted to her like the fresh smell of grass after a night of rainfall.After a few minutes, Richard walked to her with a mug of coffee and he sighed in contentment.“This is good," she said after she tasted it.Richard just smiled at her and at that moment, the office phone that was on the office table rang and he picked it up.“Yes? Okay… will be there in a while,” he said and then put down the receiver.He then walked towards her and sat down again."Finish your coffee and we will go somewhere. Or even better, let's go," he said as he took her mug and looked at her.Macy stood up and followed because she was eager to see where all this was going.They left the office and walked towards the end of the corridor and this time, there was a man waiting for them.He didn't talk as he pressed
114. There was a certain social media account of a certain celebrity who had fallen from grace and had millions of followers all over the US of A and the world at large and disappointed fans and the general public who knew her or who had been waiting for any news about her had been waiting like hawks watching chicks ready to pounce.For almost a month, this account had been dormant with no activity so far and my fans had unfollowed and others had unsubscribed just because they hated her.But among those who remained, there were still hardcore fans who still believed that their angel had been framed and that the truth would come out one day. Yeah, they were waiting for the innocence of their angel to be proven.Others didn't even care who they followed and they were still following the account because they were too lazy to click buttons to unsubscribe and others were just there.Ask them why they subscribed and they will say, “the suggestion just appeared on my feed and I just followed
“Why do you ask? I thought we are here to talk about that particular case and nothing else," Dr Maxwell asked and then his face showed fear but those watching didn't know what she saw.There was silence for a while and then he sighed.“There is no going back after this, is there?" He asked as if resigned to his fate."Depends on you. If you go out there after this, Angela will surely kill you before she is found by the police.You of all people should know that she isn't forgiving,” the man said and Maxwell nodded."She's the most ruthless and she is the worst out there.That's where I learnt that the innocent ones are usually the worst," he said and sighed.“Okay. What do I get if I tell you the truth?" Maxwell asked and there was another moment of like ten seconds of silence.“Giving you over to the police in one piece of course.And… and if you cooperate, we can get you immunity and your sentence will be reduced.Also, we will make sure that you are safe in the prison and Angela c
. “Hello Jared?" Richard greeted and the boy looked at him as if she had seen him somewhere but didn't remember where.“Who are you and why do you look so familiar?" The boy asked with a raised eyebrow and Richard smiled at that.It was similar to what he saw in the mirror whenever he looked at it.“We have never met but I want to introduce myself and there is also another person who wants to meet you," he said and the little boy stood up from where he was seated.“Why do I feel like I know you? Are you sure that we have never met?" He asked, seeming deep in thought as if he was trying to reach for something in his brain but couldn't with his hands in the pockets of his shorts and guess who else had his hands in his pockets in a similar manner?Richard, Macy and Mel had come to meet Jared for the first time.Macy had been a train wreck and that was why she brought Mel because Richard realised that only Mel had the ability to make her mother calm down.“Mama, is this surprise mine or y
