Gideon raised an eyebrow and smirked at her. “Thinking about seducing me, Miss. Grayson?” He played, knowing well that is was a dangerous move. She was the director of that place. To his surprise, she remained with a serious expression, not even angry or annoyed. Than, a faint smile appeared on her lips. “Exactly.” She answered and he almost gagged on his own saliva. “What?” he asked, astonished. “Don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining. I’m just… I don’t even know if surprise is the right word to describe it.”“I’ll explain: my father is asking me to marry a dim-witt man. Ridiculously rich, but an imbecile. One who thought he could just put his hands on me as he pleased!” Her eyes narrowed while she was looking to a point behind Gideon and he knew she was remembering something. “Who is that fucker?” he asked between gritted teeth. “Who tried to touch you without your consent?” She blinked, not expecting him to take her pains as his own. “Ah… someone I don’t want to even rememb
“How are things going so far?” Brandon asked his father and Chung-hee. “Gideon can’t stay there for much longer!” “The deputy said he will be out by the end of the week. Seems like someone else is helping.” William said, smiling. “Really? Great. I can't stand that he just came back and is in jail. In my place!” Brandon was angry with the whole situation. “I know, Brandon, but I think that it is best to have things well set than rush and in the near future, have more problems.” chung-hee told him and he could not deny the Master was right. “I know. It is just… frustrating! I can’t even visit him!” He said and sighed. “Also, I want to be with Lucy!” “Things will be set soon.” William tried to reassure his son. He wanted the boy to be happy, even though he was a bit worried about the ‘Lucy-Gideon-Brandon’ thing. They would be home now. Not in the juggle, where nobody cared or knew them. He was worried things would be complicated and even create animosity between the siblings. “I ho
Wanda frowned, not only because he saw the hickey, but because of how he asked about that. “Mr. Ashford, may I know why are you speaking to me in that tone?” She asked, seriously. “You have a damn hickey!” He was furious and it stonished her. “Damn, Wanda!” He was calling her by her first name. She clicked her tongue and glared at him. “Just to clarify things: we are not in a real relationship aaaand if we were, you wouldn’t be able to talk to me the way you just did.”“If you’re going to be my wife…” He started, but she cut him off. “Your wife is still a human being and as such, needs respect. I am nor I will be, the property of no man.” Her chin was up, defiant. Gideon felt something in his lower parts, for the first time for another woman since he met Lucy. It confused him, especially because even though Wanda’s eyes reminded him of the other woman, they had a different fire. Not even after Lucy was changed she had that, it was different. “I want you.” He said it before he c
“What do you mean, dad? We made a deal!” Wanda asked, already getting more than nervous. “Calm down, girl. Why don’t you go on a date with him first?” Her father asked without taking his eyes from the road. “Seriously, he is handsome, is from a good family, is highly educated and is not a convicted man.” “I love the man I am seeing.” She said in a burst. The moment her father heard that, he stopped the car all of a sudden. “What?” he asked, his hair, which was always in place, now had a strand on his forehead. “What do you mean by that, girl? Are you crazy?”“Yes, daddy! I am crazy about him!” She said. Afterwards she could think of what she was going to do about Gideon. he was going to be out soon and she would have to ask for another favor. He was not really getting nothing out of the deal. Just now she remembered she had not offered him a thing. It was a favor, not a deal. She hated to owe others! “Wanda, love, you don’t know that man!” He said and she thought fast. “That’s no
Willian poured the whiskey into the glass and gave it to Matteo, who was sitting in front of his desk. “Sorry, but, tell me again how that happened?” William asked, sitting on his chair and crossing his legs. “I don’t know all the details of their relationship, but they met in Germany and had an affair. Your son deflowered my daughter, they broke up and now, destiny put them back together.” The man said and took a sip of the liquor. “They must marry.” “I told you many years ago that I didn’t want to force my son into marriage. We were talking about Brandon at the time, but it didn’t change about Friedrich.”“They are in love!” Matteo said and William was astonished. Gideon didn’t know Wanda Grayson, for all Brandon told him. “They are together, but it is to shameful!” “Together? My son is in prison and…” “And my daughter is taking care of that penitentiary.” He took another sip and made a face, looking back at William. “They are having an affair again and I won't permit it.”Matt
“I don’t know what you are doing in this office with Miss Grayson…” the guard said and looked at Gideon suspiciously. “We are simply talking about amenities.” Gideon said and the guard held him by the collar. If Gideon was not in jail, he would not admit that, but he had to behave. His freedom was just around the corner and he could not screw it up!“Don’t play fun with me, your little son-of-a-bitch!” The man said between gritted teeth. “I can make your life hell, here.” “I don’t doubt. But I was just answering your own question. Sir.” “What is going on here?” Wanda asked. She heard the guards high voice and decided to go see what was happening. “Ah, the inmate was trying to make fun of me!” “I didn’t…” Gideon was going to defend himself, but Wanda shook her head slightly at him, so he stopped talking. “I’ll take of this. You can go, now.” She said to the guard, who nodded with a stern face and walked away. Inside the office, Wanda was about to ask Gideon what had he said, but
Matteo decided to visit his daughter and present her to William, so they both went to the penitentiary. Sanders had been warned and he agreed, saying that it was no problem anymore, since the next day everybody would know the truth. “You’ll see she is lovely. And soon it will be time for visitors, so you’ll be able to talk to your son.” Matteo said and the guards let him enter with William, since Mr. Grayson was the boss. “I’m sure I’ll like her. If Friedrich likes her…” William said, when he was very nervous inside. He had not met Gideon, yet and that was the first time. He didn’t think it would be like that, but when his son was free. Anyway, he was happy. “Come, her office is near.” Matteo said and when they walked through the corridor, the inmates saw William and knew he was related to Friedrich, after all, they looked very much alike. “Must be his father.” One of the inmates said. “Man, what is going on here, huh? Friedrich was called to Miss Grayson’s office and now, her fa
Gideon bent down, covering Wanda's body with his own. The car was right next to them so he opened the door and got in with her and asked his father to drive."What the hell!" Gideon screamed. “You don't have a gun by any chance, do you?” he asked William, who was nervous and looked to the glove compartment. Gideon understood and opened the compartment.“No big deal, but still a gun.” William said, concentrating on the road ahead. Two cars were following them, which meant that one of the three inside was the target and, most likely, Gideon.“What are you going to do with a gun?” Wanda asked, startled. “You just got released from jail!”“I'm not going back to that hell hole, my love. Rest assured about it!” Gideon said and rolled down the vehicle's window, shooting back. He shot in one of the tires of a car. “Stay low!” He yelled at Wanda, who nodded, covering her head. The car hit by Gideon pulled to the side and he shot the other tire, causing the car to destabilize and the car that
