He flicked the picture in his hand and sighed. Today had been a stressful day, but he had to accept the fact that it was still fun notwithstanding, he spent time with Natalie. It made him let out a smile, but it faded when he received a call from the station informing him that his mother had passed out that very day.It was sudden as it made his heart skipped. The picture in his hand was that of his mother, and it slips off his hold out of shock.Rodger had to abandon what he was doing and hastily rushed to the correctional center, which was preserved for the females. She had committed suicide on her birthday and wrote a letter to Rodger. He winced gazing at her corpse, the heartbroken man would have fallen limply if the warden hadn't held him from falling.It was devastating for Rodger, though he might have grudges against her, but she was still his mother. He sniffed as a prison warder directed him to where her corpse was kept. The sad man tried not to cry out, but tears kept steami
Natalie teased her and told Vera that she should just admit to it, but Vera shoved that thought aside, knowing that Natalie doesn't want her to talk about Alex but focus on someone else.“Let me place a call to him” Natalie muttered. Vera knew she was only calling Rodger to ask if Alex was over there with him, and not asking how far he was.Sporadically, it's good to consider those who have always been there for someone. Vera was only misunderstanding her sister. Natalie always cares and often ask about Rodger every day and places a call to him too.While Alex on the other hand only considers finding the old man and barely had time for himself, talk more of others.She could hear his phone beeping and someone else responded. It was a doctor who reported that Rodger passed out on the beach and was currently in the hospital.Natalie jerked up from where she sat and switched off the call after making inquiry of which hospital he was kept.“What's wrong?” Vera asked as she saw how terrifi
Natalie widened her eyes as Rodger quickly terminated the brief yet passionate kiss. A slap landed on his face. She couldn't believe he kissed her and only Alex could do that, no one else.“I'm sorry” he apologized, folding his lips and sadly gazing at her. Natalie blinked her eyes as she was still bemused.She didn't say anything to him and just walked away, even when he called her to stay. He went after her and held her arm, sincerely apologizing that he never meant to do that.They were just a distance from the car and Vera who was all alone with her phone noticed them. She pondered over what these two were discussing that their face looked tensed.Natalie heaved a sigh and shoved her hand away from him. Even though he didn't mean it, she has to be quite conscious and careful around him if he could kiss her subconsciously.“Take care Rodger” she muttered, almost taking a step away, and he said;“Didn't you come here to fetch me? Would you leave without me?”Natalie took a glance at
“There's no law over here, it's just you and me”The old man squint his eyes in pains as he felt that his body would explode any moment.“Don't, Alex!” He snarled, and the young lad stood up, scoffed again.“You're the first male to call me Alex, it's pleasing” he mocked and bounced towards the door intending to leave, but then he shoved his gaze to the old man who definitely was breathing his last from the poisonous substance roaming in his stomach.“Do you have any last wishes?”The old man gurgling, and the blood kept drooling out of his five organs and within minutes, he dropped dead.Alex glanced at the lifeless man before him, swallowed hard, and then heaved a sigh. His biggest problems was solved and now, he was going to dispose the body.While he was staring at the body, he got a call from one of his men that usually accompanies him.“Yeah, come get the body” he whispered and paced away with a serious gaze.***“Yet another gone!” A reporter announced. Oh yes, people feared fo
Alex snickered at her words while rising from the bed.“Wow, Natalie, you're judging me? Don't forget that you were once an assassin and that's what you still are…”“Alex, what do you mean? I didn't hurt anyone except those who came to attack me, it was defense, but you! Argh, you go over to their house and murder them even when they don't attack” she raged, annoyed at how Alex was bringing up her past.“Really? Are you now a saint?”“Stop acting like a psychopath! It's freaky weird, and you don't realize that!”Alex clenched his fist and paced closer to her.“What did you just say? You're calling me a psychopath?” He mused with a devilish smile at her.“I didn't, you just misunderstood me, Alex stop complicating it, the people whom you've tried hard to win their heart would turn back to hating you…”“You want them to hate? Are you planning to turn me in to the cops?”“No!no! You're getting it wrong! Alex, stop confusing my words, I just want a happy life for us…” She paused, frustrat
He heard a knock on his door. His eyes rolled to the clock hung in his room. It was 1pm and he wasn't expecting anyone. The drowsy man let out a yawn and jumped from the bed while dragging his feet towards the door.Although, he carried an object of defense just In case it turns out to be a thug or threat at his door. He turned the door knob intending to see who it was, but suddenly, someone hugged him which made him flinch but he realized who it was and so he had to remain calm, though confused at the same time.It was Natalie, and she was pouring out her tears on his shoulder, whimpering. He had to close the door and refrain from the hug as he seems puzzled, wondering what would bring the queen bee to his house.“Rodger…” She muttered, embracing him again as her body was shivering that she couldn't utter a word except his name because she was trembling and anxious. He cuddled her in his arms, assuring her that she would be fine. Rodger was unable to make her speak, but he could tell
He widened his eyes at her, her statement made him sad because it could only mean that when Alex was violent on her, he made her had s*x with him aggressively out of her wish.This was rape to him because every woman had a right to their body, be it married or not. Her tears dropped on his face and he was badly hurt by that.He wrapped his arms around her once again, as though cuddling her to his body. He could understand the trauma she was going through and just couldn't tell anyone about it.Rodger couldn't say a word either to her as he was really shattered to hear that and how dare Alex who always stood up for women that were abused but now, he was treating Natalie that way!Indeed, one shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Most people had thought Rodger would be the tough guy or better still the bad guy, but it turns out he was mild and gentle at heart with great features that could make one call him an angel but Alex whom they perceived to be the saint turns out to be the bad guy
She mumbled and squints her eyes, attempting to get them opened. It was quite early, and she tried rolling over, but a strong arm wasn't letting her. She felt this person's breath on her neck, and it made her let out a smile. The fact that he didn't leave her alone after making love to her all night made her feel safe.She managed to roll over and stare at his face, he was still asleep, and she placed a finger at his lips while licking hers subconsciously. This girl didn't mind if she was committing a sin with her fiancé's brother, as all that matters was that he treated her differently.Hearing him say he loves her made her quiver, and she was willing to break up with Alex just to stay with Rodger. She wrapped her leg around his waist and leaned closer to him to feel his breath on her face.Her happy suddenly became curious as she noticed what she had done. What if perhaps Alex figures out before she speaks? “What's wrong with me?” She muttered shaking her head and taking her finger
