"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
David was tied up to the ceiling, his legs dangling just inches from the ground. His face was covered in blood, his whole body was sore from the torment that he went through. He was shirtless and every part of his body had gone through torment. He was breathing heavily, but he didn't tell them anything, not a single word. They tried all they could, they used all their painful methods, but David didn't break. Even the leader, the guy who was tormenting him, got tired of the whole process. He was covered in sweat too and his arms were tingling from punching David too much, but David was immovable like a rock. He wiped his hands clean of blood and promised David that he was going to be back. David's head was forward as the blood from his opened wounds dripped to the floor. He was going to keep going, they weren't going to get a single word from him. If it were someone else, they would have told them the truth, but David knew that could get him into more trouble. They could try
Rosie's eyes were on the guards, she wasn't even blinking. If she grabs this one, how long would it take for the others to come at her? They kept their distance, they knew how dangerous she was. Their guns were pointed at her, she heard David grunt over and over again, he was suffering in the other room. "Your boss is heartless." She muttered. "Why won't he leave the boy alone?" "Maybe you should tell us what we want." One of them smacked and licked his lips. "That way everyone wins." She rolled her eyes and looked away. If she had a gun, he was going to be the first one she would kill. Even though she wasn't showing it, she was hurt by each echo of David's pain. Suddenly, they heard a shooting and everyone turned around in confusion. Rosie noticed that it wasn't from their colleagues, it wouldn't have startled them this much. "What's going on?" Rosie asked, pretending to be scared. "We are under attack." One of the men said to the rest. "Prepare to defend!" Rosie took the
It was a miracle that despite everything that David faced, his secret was still safe. His father was very angry about what happened, and Rosie told him that his father was coming back home in a few weeks. That set David's mind on edge for days again, he kept awake at night, thinking about him finally going to meet with Dominic Ford. Doctor Iris came again and she gave him a thorough checkup to make sure that he was fine. She kept clearing her throat as she touched his torso, trying to assess just how much pain he was in. "How did you say you got this again?" She laughed nervously. "Accident." He answered. "Seems like I am the most unfortunate person on Earth." "Your father is Dominic Ford, do you know what that means?" She whispered. "You are anything, my friend, but not unfortunate." She took out some drugs from her bags and placed them on the table for him. "One from each bottle twice a day." She instructed. "If you need to ask anything, you can ask Mister Gary to call me."
