Luke Freeman wordlessly took the sit Richard had motioned him into with the gun in his hand. Wasn't he the adopted son of Thomas Bolton? What did he want with him? Had they had an issue earlier in the day? Why was he in his house at such a time of the night and with a freaking handgun in his damned hand? What could he do? Should he try to set off an alarm or something? What warning signal could he send his neighbours that would alert them that he was in danger? His neighbourhood was actually quite a quiet one full of people who minded their business so the chances of anyone actually noticing whatever signal he gave was a pretty slim one and the chances of anyone noticing that signal and actually acting on it was next to non-existent. He was certainly toasted. The young man with handgun which he was freely brandishing at him, could kill him and no one would know. Why on Earth had he given in to his tiredness and not listened to the voice that had told him to stay back at the office and
Richard aimed his gun at Luke Freeman and cocked it. Like his client Thomas Bolton, the bastard didn't deserve to live. He deserved to die and Richard without a doubt had absolutely no issue in giving him what he deserved. Besides, Thomas Bolton had betrayed him and there was no saying that the smart lawyer wouldn't betray him too. After all, it was just that afternoon that Thomas Bolton had reminded him about the possibility and risks of conversations being recorded. There was no saying that the sneaky smart ass hadn't recorded their conversation with plans to have him reported and arrested. Who knew? He really couldn't trust anyone. There was no saying that Luke Freeman wouldn't betray him because when all was said and done, Richard didn't actually have a single soul in the universe he could rely on to look out for him. He thought he had totally gotten rid of his little hopes and expectations of good from Thomas Bolton but apparently he hadn't because he could feel a tear trickle do
Chris Bolton was sitted in Michael Bolton's study with his laptop open in front of him but his mind was occupied. He is was in love with Sarah but couldn't confess it and he knew it wasn't because he was scared of being rejected by her or because he was worried about his father not accepting it. The reason he was worried about expressing his feelings for Sarah was because of Monica. He couldn't deny the fact that they had both had some tension between them when they had initially met. He had most certainly had something for her and he felt like she she had also had a thing for him, but he wasn't sure if she still had it. He has tried not to acknowledge his feelings for Sarah for a long time because he had felt like they made him disloyal to Monica, especially if she still had those feelings. What was he going to do? Was he supposed to just ask her? Wasn't that___? His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a knock on the door and just as he opened his mouth to call for whoever it w
Thomas Bolton stared at Richard then looked at the gun in his hand. He felt betrayed. Just when he had shown a little trust in him, he had taken advantage of that trust and stabbed him in the freaking back. He had sold him to his enemies and for how much, he wondered. He looked back up at Richard and could see that his eyes were emotionless, almost like he had sold his soul or something. Thomas wondered if that change had been present in him all week and he had just been too oblivious to notice it or if Richard had actually done a very good job of masking it. What had turned him that way? He turned to look at Chris Bolton and his company. He recognized both ladies well enough. He had held one hostage amd the other, he had killed her father. Well, Chris Bolton had certainly picked his crew right. Between all three of them who seemed to be head of the group, he had certainly caused them a lot of pain and hurt. He tore his eyes away from the three of them and looked at Victor. Now that o
Thomas Bolton grabbed a dagger and lunged at Richard with a scream and just as he was about to drive it straight through his heart, Richard quickly sidestepped and the dagger grazed his arm slightly and Thomas fell to the ground. As he struggled to get to his feet, he heard a gunshot and felt a pain sear through his left foot. Bloody bastards!! Getting shot in the foot again!! He felt two pair of arms grab him and place him firmly back on his sit. As he sat, Chris grabbed a pistol from the weapons strap on the waist of one of the guards and pointed it at Thomas' head and cocked it and Thomas smiled at him."I don't think your pretty woman's going to like you very much if you kill me now." Thomas said with a smirk. "I mean, I haven't gotten around to telling her about her lost sibling and believe me, she'd really like to know that," he finished and Chris lowered the gun. "What? You know my siblings whereabouts?" Sarah asked and looked at him with teary eyes. "Of course I do. I kep
On a cool Friday evening, Chris walked out through the doors of the building of the multi million dollar company, GLAM where he worked, carrying a trashcan in his hand, and down the deserted Sanders Street. Chris Bolton had worked there as a mere cleaner for three whole years and it didn't matter to him that the owner of the company was no other than his beautiful wife and daughter of billionaire business tycoon, Mabel Sanders. Chris had always been a hardworking and independent man who preferred to work hard for his own money rather than stay idle because his wife was a billionaire.On that faithful evening, Chris seemed to be the happiest man in the world. He wore a smile on his face as he struggled with the over filled thrash can and almost bumped into a beautiful lady trying to make her way through the door."Watch where you're going, you dumb and dirty looking peasant!" She screamed, as her eyes scanned him from head to toe."You should be ashamed of yourself!" She ranted on. "A
Chris Bolton could not believe his eyes. What the hell was going on? Who the hell was that man and what had given him the boldness to kiss Mabel Sanders?"I think you're making a huge mistake!" Chris blurted out. "A mistake that would cost your freedom for the rest of your life! That woman is Mabel Sanders, my wife and the daughter of billionaire business tycoon, Marcus Sanders."The blonde man planted a kiss on Mabel's neck and chuckled lightly."I thought you said he was a boring little peasant," He muttered in her ears. "This man right here has the right charisma to be a stand-up comedian!"Mabel laughed to his joke and started moaning again as he resumed kissing her neck."Arthur..." She moaned. "Right there."The name registered in Chris' memory immediately - Arthur. He was definitely going to find out who the bastard was and how he had turned his darling Mabel against him."Hope he's still watching?" Arthur grunted as he began to undress Mabel fully."Yes sir," the burly men rep
After about thirty minutes of driving, the men dumped Chris in front of a hospital and zoomed off in the black van they had come with. Chris was still conscious on the floor, but he had lost a lot of blood already, and he could barely move a bone. He remained on the floor, waiting and hoping for a saviour to come to his rescue, but none was forthcoming. Unable to bear the throbbing pain in his leg, he passed out. Chris woke up about three hours later to the sound of machines beeping and whirring. He stared at the pure white walls of the room he was in and immediately, he realized that he was in the hospital. A drip was connected to his left hand and his left leg which Arthur's men had shot, was now bandaged. Chris tried to move his leg and noticed that he didn't even feel any pain. He stared up at the machines surrounding him and he wondered who had taken him to such an expensive and sophisticated hospital. There was no way he was going to be able to pay the bills for such a place a
