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
James and Harry immediately felt themselves stripped as Meghan revealed that Gavin was not the one who was responsible for her condition. At first, they thought that she might have had her memory knocked out of her."Are you sure about this?" Mr. Stallion came towards her again, with nothing but pure, unadulterated fury in his eyes. He placed his old but bold hands on his daughter's shoulders. "Are you sure you can really remember what happened? Or are you just pulling our legs here, my dear?"Please child, I hope you are not trying to cover up for what he did to you, Meghan?" Her mother flared up as well. "Do not tell us that once again you are defending that good for nothing scum bag. Do not do that with us. What he has done is enough to earn him a lifetime in jail.""But mom, I am telling you nothing but the truth." Meghan argued. “Why would I lie to protect Gavin? I mean I literally dislike and hate him right now, but I will not tell a lie that he is the one that put me in this s
The C.S.O returned to work the following morning with a smile stretched across his face. He could see clearly as he got in the vicinity that they were strange faces and a number of changes that had occured in the relatively short time he had stayed away. He became confused, but nonetheless did not have nearly enough time to observe the area. He had to see his boss and report himself. He could already guess that the middle aged man was already throwing a trantum that his Chief Security Officer was away.He arrived at the office, knocked and went inside. He saw Brax Connelly penning down on a few documents, his signature. The man turned to look at him, still with the customary grim look on his face. But despite this, Ron could tell that there was something different about the man. A soft look in his eyes that told that indeed something had happened."Good morning, sir." Ron said, his eyes looking from left to right, noticing the tiny changes that had occured in the office."And what, t
Ron thought about what was going on. His ploy had become harder than he thought with his boss seemingly not conforming to his expectations."Okay, then." He said. "Do you know that Gavin is presently locked up in jail for beating up his wife and attacking two other men? That should tell you that if he is able to do such a thing, he should also be able to do this."Mr. Brax looked up ahead at Ron, his face ridden with surprise. "What? Since when has he been there?" Ron noticed the sudden interest that emerged on his boss's face at the mention of Gavin being in jail. It was not just that of ordinary surprise, but also one of deep worry."Well, since yesterday the bastard has been in police custody. I intend to make him pay for all he did.""Are you really sure of this?" Mr. Brax asked once again. Every ticking second that passed had him looking more worried than he was the second before."I am really serious about this. I am sure of it. Why would I lie about it?"Mr. Brax was quiet fo
