Gavin returned back home. He was trying to look for a que on what exactly must have happened to his wife to have gotten him into such a situation. He was already on his steering wheel. He passed a store that sold digital cameras.It was odd that seeing the cameras made him think of something he had so forgotten. He could not place a finger on it, untill his eyes came in contact with the car mirror just above him. His reflection sparked up a memory he had forgotten.He stopped the car abruptly. The tires screeched on the tarred floor. "I can't believe I never thought of this. Grandpa had the entire house bugged with cameras. There is no way someone would come into the house without any of the cameras catching it. I feel so stupid to have forgotten."He stumped the steering wheel with his fists once more. He had clearly forgotten that the entire house had CCTV camera's all over the place. He felt terribly stupid that it took a camera shop to actually get him to remember something that
Mr. Stallion did not let even a whimper out of the jaws of Gavin's face, he seized the man by his right arm and attempted to punch him."What the hell?" Gavin dodged his offences. "Quit struggling you monster," the old man said, attempting to punch him once more. Gavin deflected this with his other arm. "What are you attacking me for?" Asked Gavin. He did not want to go serious with Mr. Stallion as he knew that he was really just a weak old man, whose punch would only hurt as much as a wooden rod's blows. "You know what you did," the man said. "You really do not need me telling you any of this. You already know that you commited an attrocity, one that I and the entire Stallion family will not let go unpunished. Yes, I see you for who indeed you are."Gavin jumped back. "Wait you don't mean that—""Yes, you criminal," chipped in Sophie, in a tone as condescending as she always had been. "You had the guts to beat up my sister. Who on earth do you think you are? First of all you had m
"James and Harry, remember what I told the both of you concerning this?" Gavin plead, urging them not to turn against him. "Please tell them that I even approached the both of you to ask if maybe you knew something about it. Remember, because they are really accusing me of being the one who is responsible for what happened to Meghan.”"And is that not right, Gavin, or am I missing anything here that no one else is telling me?" James said, proving Gavin's fears right.James stepped in between Gavin and the Stallion family. He cast a stray stare at Gavin as though he was nauseated by his mere presence."That's a lie and you know it," Gavin exerted. "You are exactly as I expected you to be.""And you think you are not?" Sophie pitched in. "Tchh... Gavin you already make me sick just by being here. I just hope someone comes and ties your mouth off with a tape so I will not hear any more of your lies and nonsense. Look at my sister on the bed. I believe that you have done and have already
Seconds rolled over to become minutes, the minutes rolled over to become half an hour, and in that time, a number of men dressed all in blue and black stormed in the room. Gavin waited and was still waiting."We are here, I would like for you all to stand down and have us pointed to the suspect right away," the police officer in charge said to them. "And I would for someone to report to us calmly mc rationally what the situation is.""It's him," Mr. Stallion shouted, pointing to Gavin's direction. "He is the one we called you for. I am accusing him of battery. The girl on the bed is my daughter, Meghan. She made a very bad mistake to have ever gotten to be married to this oaf here. They had an issue and it got in his head to actually hit her. Now she's fainted and in a coma. All because of him."The police officer looked at the family, and then looked back at the man who was being accused. He could tell that he had seen their faces before. In his mind he asked himself, what sort of
The police had Gavin locked away in a cell. He held the bars and looked around the place. It was the same cell he was locked in. He smiled despite himself. "Well it seems you are here again," the man said to Gavin and let out a brief laughter. "It seems that this is true. Once a convict, always a convict.""Well you got that right," Gavin said. "Here I am again."The police officer who arrested Gavin went to report the situation to the Lieutenant. "Sir, I have a situation to report to you," he said. "You are free to do so. What is it you want to tell me?" The lieutenant stood up straight on his chair."It's about that man named Gavin Roman," the police officer said, grasping more of the lieutenant's attention. "And what about him again?" "Well we just arrested him again, and this time it is still for roughly the same crime, and we seriously do not know what to do with him. This time he was arrested for allegedly beating his wife and giving her a scar on her head.""Well," the li
The sound of her shoe heels against the tiled floor was electrifying. She walked in a slow and sensual pace, with so much grace and poise. Gavin who had retired to the floor got up immediately as he heard the footsteps approaching his cell. He held the bars and looked out curiously, wondering who it was. But he could not catch glimpse of whoever was coming. All he knew was that it wasn't an officer, or Meghan. And this conviction kept him in sheer suspense."Hey!" The deep voice was accompanied with a bang on the prison bar. It wasn't who Gavin was expecting, but the sudden bang almost left him startled. "Wake up. You shouldn't be sleeping at this time." It was an officer."Even if I wanted to sleep this late, it wouldn't be in this stink hole." He mouthed without looking at the officer."Well, that is a relief." The officer laughed in a jovial manner. "Now, you know better than hitting a woman.""I didn't hit her. I would never..." He stopped suddenly as it dawned on him that nobody
Gavin was totally shocked by her statement. And for a moment, he couldn't believe his ears. He looked at Scarlett, trying to convince himself that she hadn't just said what she said. She had the most innocent smile on her face."I'm sorry, what?" He squinted lightly, which made his eyes look smaller."That is all I want, Gavin. And I promise, you will be out of here immediately. You won't have to stay here another second.""No." He replied with a chuckle, trying not to sound to serious or dismissive. "I don't think I can do that. I mean, I can't do it.""But why? It isn't an impossible task. It isn't even a hard task. You just need to come with me immediately after I tell the officer to open your cell. At my place, you will get a clean bath and thereafter, we can do it. You will be back to your house before tomorrow.""No. You aren't getting me. I'm sorry but I can't do that. I have a wife, Scarlett. I am married.""And you think I do not know that?" She smirked and bit her lower lip
Meghan woke up to a crowd of people hazily moving around her. It was obvious to her that something had happened, as the atmosphere felt dense. She looked around. She could see her father and mother standing up, and then one look at the edge of the bed were her sister and her fiance, Harry. She was on his lap as they sat cozy on the bed. Despite their loved up position, she could tell quite easily from the expression plastered to Sophie's face that something had happened. "Well, welcome sleepy head." A familiar voice said softly beside her. "We thought you would never wake up from your slumber. Are you okay?" She looked at the person talking, and somehow, in some way, she really expected and hoped that it would be Gavin before she would answer any question. She wanted to give him a piece of her mind. With a turn of her neck, she found that it was James. She wanted to smile at him, but found no strength in her to do so. A pulsating pain erupted in her head, and she placed her palm o
