Chapter - 198 "Alex," Karen whispered softly, her voice filled with longing. "I've been waiting for this moment." Alex's heart skipped a beat as he leaned in, pressing his lips against hers in a searing kiss. Their mouths melded together in a fiery embrace, their tongues dancing in a sensual tango. Karen's hand slid down from his cheek, tracing a path down his chest and resting on his firm abdomen. She could feel his muscles tense beneath her touch, igniting a hunger within her. Without breaking the kiss, Alex's hands roamed over Karen's body, finding the curve of her waist and pulling her closer to him. Her body pressed against his, and he could feel the heat between them intensifying with each passing second. Karen's fingers found their way to the buttons of his shirt, eagerly undoing them one by one, revealing his toned chest. Alex's hands moved to the tie of Karen's gown, and with a deft movement, he loosened it, revealing her ample cleavage. He couldn't resist, and his mouth d
Chapter - 199"Ummm..." Karen slowly popped her eyes open."Yo, you're finally awake," but before she could fully open her eyes, Karen heard a voice. She turned her head towards the sound and saw it was Alex. But then, her eyes went wide open again. When Karen looked down, her robe had disappeared, and she was only covered in the damn white hospital sheet."What the... How... Where the hell are my clothes?" Karen pulled up the sheet, clutching it tight to her chest, and gave Alex a bewildered look."You don't remember?" Alex chuckled, finding Karen's reaction amusing."No..." Karen wanted to deny it, but suddenly everything came flooding back. The moments she spent in Alex's arms not too long ago became crystal clear in her mind."We..." Karen began to piece it together as she looked at Alex with questioning eyes."Yeah, we did..." Alex nodded, understanding what she wanted to ask even without Karen finishing her sentence."It wasn't a damn dream?" Karen still couldn't wrap her head a
Chapter - 200"Audrey? I didn't think you ever mentioned about her," Alex asked."Oh, she is a friend I made recently. You know, when you were away for three months," Martha told him, "We met at the hospital, and I was instantly drawn towards her. After all, she is just the sweetest girl I have ever met.""Oh... It was when I was away," Alex turned his attention towards Audrey and looked at her with squinted eyes."You... Don't look at her like that," Martha left Alex's side and walked beside Audrey, placing her hand over her shoulder, "You better not be rude to my friend over here.""If she is not a fraud," Alex mumbled."What? What did you say?" Martha frowned."It's okay..." Audrey put her hand over Martha's hand, which was on her shoulder, and lightly squeezed it, "I am sure he is just caring for you in his own way.""And don't worry, I am sure I will win him over in no time," Audrey looked at Alex and said, looking meaningfully at Alex, "Just like I charmed you.""Oh! You certain
Chapter - 201"Ah... Look at the time. It's already this late. I had so much fun that I lost track of the time, "After dinner, everyone was laughing among themselves, having a good time when Audrey finally took note of the time."Oh, c'mon, it's not even nine. Stay for a bit more," Martha who was sitting beside Audrey held her hand and said, "Or even better, just stay the night here.""I would love to but I have already made some plans with a friend of mine," Audrey expressed her regret, "If I had known it would be such a pleasant evening, I would have definitely ditched her earlier. But it's too late to cancel now.""I hope you understand," Audrey asked."If you say it like that, there is nothing more that I can say, "Martha was downcasted, but she had this simple smile on her face, "But promise me that you will visit more often while you are in town.""Absolutely," Audrey agreed as she gracefully stood up, "With how funny your son is, there is no doubt that I am going to visit again
Chapter - 202"Dude, this is messed up. I can't believe we're actually doing this. Stalking her? Seriously? If we are caught, we won't get out of it easily," Alex and Damien rode Alex's motorcycle and followed behind Audrey's car as soon as she left the house."Oh, come on, Alex! Don't be such a buzzkill. It's not like we're doing anything harmful. I just want to find out more about this Audrey girl and see what she's up to," Damien gently tapped Alex's shoulder and urged him to hurry up."I get it, curiosity can be compelling, but this feels wrong. On top of that, if we are caught, it won't end up with just a beating. Haven't you been on the internet lately? Even looking at girls in the gym apparently is a crime these days," Alex spoke up as he drove."Look, Alex, I get it. But Mom is involved in this. I want to find out every nook and cranny about this girl who appeared out of nowhere," Damien said, "And you get beat up in the process. I am sure it's worth the sacrifice. Don't you t
Chapter - 203 As Alex and Damien cautiously followed the big man into the dimly lit alleyway, a sense of unease settled deep in their guts. The flickering lights cast eerie shadows, making the whole place feel like a freaking horror movie. The big man, looking like a giant beast, led them further into the narrow space. "Alright, cough it up, you little prying rats. What the hell do you think you're doing, snooping around in other people's business?" The big man roared at them, his voice booming with aggression. "Who sent you? Dogs of Hell?" Damien furrowed his brow in frustration. "Dogs of Hell? Who in the hell are they?" he retorted. "Look, man, like we said earlier, we are not here to cause any trouble. We're sorry if we crossed a line." Alex interrupted, trying to lighten the tension. "Dogs of Hell? That's a funny name," he remarked with a hint of sarcasm in his voice. "Wait... If you think about it, it's actually cool... Dogs Of Hell." The big man ignored Alex's attempt at hu
Chapter - 01 Early morning, the sun has just risen, and the birds were chirping happily, announcing the dawn of a new day. People of varying ages, donned in their jogging clothes, were out on the roads, in the parks or in their yards, bathing in the early morning rays from the sun. Except for a few, everyone was enjoying and hoping for a wonderful day ahead. One of the few people not enjoying the lovely beginning of the day was a guy in his early twenties sleeping with his face covered in sweat. He tossed around and wriggled on the bed like a fish out of water. Judging from his expression, it was evident that he was having a nightmare, and the bulging nerves on his forehead showed that it was not a pleasant one at that. While the boy was tossing around, the door of his room opened, and a lady probably in her early forties walked in. "Alex, wake u---" the lady was there to wake the boy up, but when she saw the boy drenched in sweat and his painful face, she was left stunned. Hurrie
Chapter - 02 The lady climbed down the stairs, engrossed in her thoughts about Alex. She failed to notice the man sitting at the dining table reading the newspaper. When the man saw her walk past him without saying a word with her face full of concern, he called out for her from behind. "Honey, what's the matter?" The man called out from behind. But the lady, as if deaf to his calls, continued to walk away. "Honey!" The man called out again, this time a bit louder. "..." "Martha!" The man called out her name this time, loud enough for neighbours to hear him. "Huh... George? What's the matter? Why are you shouting?" Martha asked, getting out of her thoughts. "I should be the one asking this. What's wrong? You look lost over something. Did something happen?" George asked. By this t
