After Sean's public apology, the silence in the room was almost deafening.

The crunch-crunch sound Maeve's chips made as she chewed was the only thing that could be heard for miles.

Luke was so still that she had to check twice if he was alright. He seemed so, but then again he was overly concentrated on his phone.

Syoung movement from the corner of her eye, Chloe turned her head to see Maeve giving her ‘the look.’

Pretending to remain clueless, Chloe inched up her brows and Maeve in return, cast furtive glances at Luke.

It was clear what she was trying to say, however…

“Anyone wants anything?” Chloe asked brightly, rubbing her palms down the side of her thigh as she stood up.

Luke barely looked at her, only mumbling out a ‘No’ that was loud enough to be heard.

“Maeve?” She turned to her sister.

Maeve's eyes brightened, keeping up with the ruse even though Luke was not paying attention. Latching on to her arm, Maeve all but dragged her out of the room, talking loudly so Luke could hea

    A day went by, then another and another…And not a single text call or email from Chloe.With each day that slipped past, Sean's heart broke and repaired im that same day.Broke into pieces because he didn't hear from her that day and repaired because he came up with some lie about why she didn't, hoping and eagerly anticipating that she would the next day.That hope slowly dwindled if he was honest to himself, tapering off to a trickle before it finally died out…and with it, his heart.How could she not be bothered to respond?Does it mean that she's too hurt to reach out or the worst…She's moved on?Sean wasn't sure which part was more to handle so he just blanked off on that one.After two weeks of staring at the night sky until his eyes went blurry and then passed out in alcohol, Sean was in desperate need of something else.Something new.Otherwise, he would drown in the rapidly widening hole that was his depression.His doorbell rang which was kind of odd because never had peopl

    “Rebecca, I'm looking for my sweater. Did you see where it is?” Sean called out, raising the covers of the chairs and bed not certain where he kept it.There was no response from Rebecca, which was quite odd so he matched towards where she was, raising his voice a little louder. “Rebecca, did you hear me? I'm looking for*“This?” She completed, holding the exact sweater he was looking for. “I found it on the banister.”“Oh, what would I do without you?” He groaned, pulling the sweater over his head. “Thank you, I was looking all over for it.”“You’re welcome, and in response to your question…nothing. You'd probably do nothing, seeing as you toss things around.” She giggled. “Are you all set? Do you have everything you need?”Sean did a mental checklist of every item he could need and everything checked out. “Yeah, I think so.”“You think so?” She arched a brow. Settling into what Sean would call the ‘Mom phase’ she went around the house, ticking things off with her fingers. “Do you ha

    With less than two hours to his departure, Sean ran around making some calls until he was able to buy a ticket for Rebecca, at an extremely high price.He races back to her, holding the ticket triumphantly. “I got it!”Rebecca jumped up from the seat. “How did you even find one of these?”He just smiled. “Got lucky, I guess.” The truth was he saw a man who decided to cancel his flight but persuaded him to buy the ticket instead of getting refunded. It was risky but worth it.“What about clothes?” She reminded him. “I don't have any luggage with me, nothing.”He easily waved off her concerns. “We can easily get you some things when we land, it's too late to go back home and grab some things anyway but in the meantime, you can use mine.”“That’s sweet, thanks.” Her face turned red, and she tucked a stray strand of hair away from her face staring intently at the floor. “Sean excused himself to get some snacks and when he came back, Rebecca was fast asleep.Cradling her against his chest

    The shrill ring of her alarm joked Moriah up from her deep slumber with a gasp. Thankfully, she was alone in bed so she didn't have to worry about waking her husband.Pushing away strands of hair from her face, Moriah tried to control her breathing reaching out to her bedside table to stop the beeping.Her heartbeat slowed to normal but she sensed that sleep was far away.Flinging back the bedsheets, Moriah swung her leg over on the bed shuffling her feet into slippers.Glancing at the digital clock propped up on the table, she noticed it was just 6:15.She shrugged the robe over her nightgown, tightening the sash over her midriff.After slashing cold water on her face to properly wake her brain up, Moriah made her way to the kitchen.Her house, just like any of the Lamberts was massive. Eight bedrooms, two master bedrooms, a lounge, a heated pool, and state of the art cinema and game room. It even had a ballroom, not that it saw much action.Except for the few times she had to host

    A quick shower made Moriah feel good again and in less than an hour, she was dressed up and ready to go to the company.Caesar wasn't picking up her calls, so she was clueless about what was going on. The only reason why he would schedule such an impromptu meeting is if he had something important to share but if he did, shouldn't it have been run through by her?It was a bit confusing.As she rushed out the door to where her driver was waiting, Adriana called out to her. “Mrs Lambert! You forgot your coat!”Pressing a hand to her chest, she stopped to take it from her. “Oh, thank you! It is freezing out here.”“Do you have any idea what the meeting is about?” She asked.Moriah shook her head. “Not a clue. I have to go now or I'll be late.”“Stay safe!” Adriana called out, hanging back as Moriah rushed into the safety of the bulletproof car, standing by the curb as she watched them go.Fortunately, Moriah didn't have much time to dwell on the mystic nature of the meeting because as soo

    Clement didn't look surprised he was positively brimming with excitement as he strolled forward to receive a handshake from Caesar.Caesar's face was unreadable, so Moriah couldn't tell if he was pleased or unhappy with his decision.Clement with a bright smile on his face, puffed his chest out and cleared his throat. “On behalf of Lambert Inc., I must say that you made a very wise decision and I will bring your expectations and hopes to pass.” He said to Caesar, pumping his hand vigorously before turning to face us. His gaze skimmed over Moriah’s latching on to the girl he was sitting next to.She had stars in her eyes as she looked at Clement, leaning forward as though she wanted to touch him.Hmmm, that was interesting.Moriah made a mental note to find out who she was and why Clement was suddenly attached to her.Clement's booming voice intruded into her thoughts and she focused on him once more.“Being the CEO of a company such as this is a huge task, one that many of you doubt

    Rebecca's eyes bulged when Sean kissed her and she froze in place, not sure how to act or what to do. Sean senses the resistance and immediately backpedaled, thinking he read the room wrong and made a mistake. Groaning, he slapped a hand over a face briefly closing his eyes in shame. “Oh, my gosh. I'm so sorry, I don't know what came over me. I shouldn't have done that.” His hands were raised, his eyes filled with apologies. “Believe me when I say, I had no intentions of doing that when I invited you over. I-”Rebecca's cool touch on his skin calmed him down, stopping him from rambling. “It's fine, Sean.” She bit her lip, not sure if she should say anything more. Should she tell him that her heart sang for joy when their lips touched and all she wanted was more?Should she tell him that the only reason why she froze up wasn't because she was disgusted or repulsed but due to surprise?Unfortunately, the pause went on for too long making things awkward so Sean decided to retreat.“Um,

    Sean stiffened for a moment when he felt Rebecca's lips on his. He was taken by surprise at her forward reaction but then he was tired of always feeling alone, betrayed by everybody he met.For once in his life, he wanted to be selfish and capitulate on his emotions.Seizing her upper arms, Sean slanted his lips over hers kissing her deeply. Conscious of the mirrors, he tried to keep it PG but Rebecca wasn't having it, practically devouring his lips.Biting down on her plump lips, he gripped her chin in a firm hold roaming his hands up and down his body.She moaned, sneaking her hand underneath his shirt. The skin-on-skin contact drove him wild and all his restrictions flew out the window.Shoving her up against the nearest flat surface roughly, he seized both hands in one moving his mouth to her neck.Hesitating, he drew back to look at her. “Are you sure that you want this?”Rebecca's eyes were filled with hunger and she snaked a hand around his neck. “You having second thoughts?”

    The beep from the EKG monitor was the only sound present in the room. Sean had sat just as he was seated throughout the night, holding Chloe’s hands as she received the treatment, the doctors had done a mini surgery and removed the bullet. He also cleaned up the injury and she was still unconscious, Chloe’s eyes had only fluttered open once in the night and the only thing she had said was “Sean” and she went back to sleep.“Are you sure I shouldn’t switch with you? You’ve been keeping watch throughout the night.” Maeve asked him her concern was clear in her eyes. Sean scoffed and shook his head.“No. This is my fault, all of it is my fault and now she is probably fighting for her life.” Maeve sighed. “She's not fighting for her life. The doctor said she’s safe, all that’s left is for her to receive proper treatment. Allow the nurse to stitch up your wounds and let me spend time with my sister.”Her final words did the trick, Sean nodded and stood up, pushing back the chair. “If she

    “Your stupid boyfriend is here! How did he locate us?” Drake panicked as the police officer’s voice sounded from the speaker again. He didn’t know how to act or what to say.“Don’t ask me” Chloe muttered under her breath, feeling her chest bustling with emotions, she was finally going to be away from the shackles of captors and ropes!“You have bad taste in men.” He concluded and she raised an amused brow as he continued. “Listen to me, just agree that you wanted to stay away, that way nobody gets hurt. Not you, not me.” Chloe pretended to be lost in thought. A few seconds before her head snapped up and she looked at him.“No, I won’t be doing that, I'd rather die than let you go scot free and I mean that in every possible way.” She snapped at him and immediately he pulled out a knife again and wrapped his left hand around her neck, he placed the knife on her neck and led them downstairs, Chloe groaned in his hands, acting up to hide this year that she felt when he pressed the knife a

Only Drake and Chloe were not there which made pissed Sean off especially when he had his eyes on her less done twenty minutes ago.His first instinct had been to drag her out of his arms but holding on to Camille had made that impossible. Camille now sat at the corner of the van looking out the window wondering how she had managed to end up in this exact place again. Maeve was all cuddled up on Ivan in a cozy position, and he made a mental note to ask Ivan what was going on between them later.“Amber,” he muttered an

    Waiting for Clement didn’t take long, he came forty minutes later, the sound of his car was the first thing they heard and it was Drake who brought their attention to it. Amber, Maeve and Ivan immediately left, then Sean followed with Camille and stood behind the large banister at the living room exit, hiding his view.Sean's heart was racing at a mile per minute and he prayed that nothing went wrong so they were able to get Chloe. Camille wanted to say something but he pressed his hand over her lips firmly. “If this goes wrong because of you, trust me I will invent ten thousand ways to slowly kill you, so shut up!” He hissed.“If you don’t have something reasonable to say then I swear I will shoot you right here right now” Clement growled as he walked over to where Drake stood with Chloe, he bent toward her and held her chin. “Hello Chloe, I trust they’ve been treating you poorly.” “You don't need to worry about me, it seems you have bigger problems,” she said to him, and he chuckle

    The gun remained on Drake's head and the knife remained on Chloe’s neck as the three of them walked into the building again. If Ivan knew better he would have taken the risk and fought her out of Drake's hands, but who was going to believe a man hardened by life’s many struggles would hesitate to cut his prisoner's neck wide open. The knife to her neck was causing Drake to feel sick in the stomach but his fate would be much worse if he let her go without Clement’s consent. “We’re in here!” Maeve called shakily from what looked like it used to be the living room of the mansion, when the three of them came into full view and Ivan saw that Sean had Camille he dropped his weapon. “What in the hell happened here?” He gasped, subconsciously shielding Maeve from any stray bullets that may be fired.“Sean, Maeve!” Chloe cried out loud, all her emotions concentrated into that one word.

    They settled in a corner of the pub, Ivan and Sean on one side and Camille sat pretty opposite, she had the air of someone who felt in charge and her cockiness was enraging Sean.Ivan noticed and patted him on his arms, urging him to remain calm. Ivan leaned forward and pushed one of the beer bottles Fatima had brought, towards her. It was her third bottle.“So, you are here to see your former captor, get a closer look?” Camille asked as she took a large gulp of the lukewarm drink, Sean had taken a bottle and decided he had enough but she was still going at three. It definitely pointed to some kind of celebratory mood.“No actually, we need your help on something,” Ivan told her and Sean watched as his friend delved into an Oscar award-winning act, his face twisting into a concerned one.“Recently, one of our friends went missing, we didn’t know if it was a voluntary ghosting or an actual case so we are being more on the low profile side. She was last seen in this area, I was hoping s
