Stefanie was obviously drunk, she laughed in his face. She snuggled her face into his chest and blew hot air against it. "A secret?" She asked. "What's that about?" David was holding her in his hands and he thought maybe it was the best time to tell her. Maybe she was still a little bit sober, maybe he could get a useful word out of her mouth. That way, he would be able to see her real reaction. He kissed him, he wasn't expecting that. She enclosed his lips and then pulled away, taking the wine with her. She found the kitchen and undid the cork, she poured herself a drink and went over to the table. David sat his ass down as he watched her drink, he was waiting for the right time to bring it up. "So, you have a secret?" She laughed. " And you want to tell me about it?""Yes, but you have to promise not to tell anyone okay?" He drew closer to her. "I am literally putting you in danger by doing this."She snorted, like to say that she didn't care for the danger he was talking abo
Everyone in the office got to know that David and Stefanie were dating. It was the gossip of the whole building. Everyone thought that they were a match made in heaven, even the jealous ones admitted to them being a cute couple. Stefanie and David weren't ashamed to hold hands and act all cute in front of their colleagues. Rosie wasn't a fan of them, she wasn't even trying that hard to make it known to them. Every corner they turned, they saw her glaring down at them. She never hesitated to break them up as soon as she saw them. "Go back to work," She would say to Stefanie. "But I'm on lunch break." Stefanie frowned. "And then who else are people expected to see when they walk in?" She asked. "Go back to work now, or I will fire you." Stefanie would sulk and then leave, in her heart the hate was growing for Rosie. She felt that Rosie was just being jealous since David and she got together. David spoke to Rosie about it, but she always maintained that everything she did was
"Woah, what are you guys on about?" David asked. His eyes were closely watching them in case they tried to jump him. The men came closer to him, but David took steps back to maintain the distance. The man that he met in the parking lot was the one leading them. David noticed that they were all dressed in the same kind of clothes. Fully black from head to toe. David counted them and saw that it wouldn't be an easy fight for him, but he still couldn't run away because they would definitely catch him. "What do you want?" David asked them again. "Tell us who the heir is, and we will let you go." The man told him. "We also don't want trouble, we aren't asking for much too, are we?""I already told you that I don't know who the heir is," David answered. "Look, I brought you the money, isn't that what I am here for?" "You think that I asked you to come here to give ten thousand dollars?" He looked at his friends and they laughed. "Do you know what your boss has done? How many lives ha
"Wait, why were you there?" Natalie asked as she also stood up. "It was part of the agreement that none of us should be there, why did you go behind our backs?""Because I know that both of you can't be trusted." She answered. "I told you that David shouldn't be hurt, but you instructed your men to kill him!""Relax! " Nick laughed. "David would be fine if he gave the answer to them." "But he didn't." She said, "Because Rosie found him and shot every one of your men dead." Nick's jaw fell to the ground. He grabbed his phone and rushed away. Natalie's eyes were fixed on Stefanie. "I don't believe you." Natalie glared. "You're lying.""You think I care about what you believe?" Stefanie scoffed. Nick returned; he just tried calling his guys' numbers, but they weren't picking up. "Are you sure of what you are saying?" He asked Stefanie with all seriousness. "Why would I joke with something like that?" She asked. "I am drenched by the heavy rain, I was watching from behind a buildin
The look of innocence on Stefanie's face went away very quickly, she didn't think of a real excuse before she came. Rosie laughed because she had caught her. She clicked her teeth and got closer to her. "Are you following me around, bitch?" Rosie asked her. "No," Stefanie mumbled. "Then what were you doing?" Stefanie exhaled before looking Rosie straight in the eyes. "That doesn't matter. Not after I saw you shoot those guys." The smile on Rosie's face only deepened, her eyebrows were pulled together. She grabbed Stefanie's arm and she winched. "Shut up and come with me," Rosie growled. She kept pulling her along, she pulled her till they got into the elevator and then finally to the terrace. This was where she was sure that no one was going to listen to their conversation. She shut the door, wedged it with a metal rod, and pulled Stefanie right into the middle. No one was there, it was just them. "You think you are a smart girl?" Rosie blasted her. "You are going to get
Rosie treated Stefanie so terribly, that sometimes she would lock herself in the bathroom and cry bitterly. Sometimes she wouldn't speak to David for a long time, because she knew that she was being treated badly because of him. David did all he could to get Rosie to give her a break, but Rosie was very adamant. He walked into her office one afternoon to speak to her again. He shut the door and sat down in front of her. "I want you to return Stefanie to her receptionist position." He demanded. "She is getting sadder and more depressed here as the days go on." "I really don't see that, I think I will keep her as my secretary for a while longer," Rosie said. "No, please," David begged. "You can't do that to her, I know that you are treating her badly." Rosie sighed as she looked at him. "You know that I am doing you a favor, right?" She propped her head on her arm. "How?" "Stefanie is going to get into trouble, except I am watching her closely," Rosie said. "Don't you think it
David was very confused, he didn't know what she was talking about. Was she just being super jealous because he was with Rosie? He stared at her weird text message for a few minutes, before he started to type q text back to her. "What are you doing?" Rosie asked, her eyes were still on the road. "Texting Stefanie." He answered without looking up. "No, no, we don't have time for that." She shook her head. "What?""Throw your phone out, phones aren't allowed there." She said to him, "Throw it out of the window." "Why would I do that?" He frowned. "I will lose all my contacts and important documents." "I have your phone cloned." She looked at him. "It's at the office, I will give it to you when we get back. It has everything on this one, you won't be losing anything." David was stunned, but not in a good way. "Are you trying to say that you have been seeing and listening to everything I have been doing with my phone?""No, I just made another copy and kept it locked away. Just
David and Rosie were driven in a closed van for hours. All their phones and accessories were taken away from them, they also had no means to communicate, even though they were standing so close to each other. They were taken to an underground bunker and there they were separated. David was left in a room alone for hours. He was with nothing, except a glass of water, a table, and two chairs. He tapped his foot against the ground, worried about Rosie and what they might do to her. She wasn't able to tell him anything when they were separated, but he knew that he had to keep his secret well. Rosie was a very strong girl, she would be hard to break. That meant that he couldn't do the same too. David was lost in thoughts, but he was brought back to reality when the door opened. The leader of the group that kidnapped them came in. He was still dressed in his black clothes. He had a cup of coffee in his hand and he placed it in front of David. "Hey, how are you holding up?" He asked
