“So have you found anything yet? I need more information so I can going to go on with this?” Amber tapped her foot impatiently as she waited for Jake to respond.“Look, I've told you I need more time. This isn't something I can just work on in a blink of an eye!” He sounds aggravated by her questions.“How much time?” She was equally getting fed up. “I've given you a week now and nothing there's nothing new on that front.”“I'll contact you in 48 hours.” He says before rudely hanging up.Her lips dropped open in surprise before she snaps her phone closed.When it comes to Josie and being open about her past, she was closed up tighter than a nun's ass.Amber with desperately searching for a way out, one where she could find out the truth about Josie and end up using it against her.When they were together, Amber could pretend all she wanted that they were still friends but deep down, she had already jumped ship.All she needed now was enough ammunition for her to fire. Haven gotten som
What was I going to do?IT was the same thought that had filled my mind that moment, all my thoughts had filled out my leaving nothing behind that a wave of uncertainty and perhaps shock . The question kept flashing through my mind, reminding me that I couldn't just just let things be for a while, yet how could I ….At the moment I was confused about so many things that I could feel the wave of uncertainty slipping deep in my soul, with each passing minute all I felt was anxiety.Slowly but definitely, it occurred to me that I had to do something about this whole mess, as that was exactly what the whole situation was.It was hard to comprehend and I was trying all I could to get it over my mind, yet my heart was too hard to sink into every bit of these words that she had muttered to me again and again. What more could I do to comprehend all of this?As I made way to my room with time and space all racing through my back or my mind, my heart beat skittered to a stop.Was this how it w
Snapping his phone closed, Logan agonized over what to do. Going to the police was out of the question because aside from the fact that they were useless, Andre also had spies in the police department just like he did and the moment one of them got whiff of his plans, Logan had no idea the lengths that Andrew was willing to go to teach him a lesson and there's no way he will endanger Josie's life.This had to be dealt with stealthily and smartly…the only way he could do that was to enlist the help of some people he trusted.Having made up his mind, Logan exited his office and went straight to the ground floor of the house.Recently, Logan has been trying to create a team of five.Some of his most trusted and skilled advisors that would be his second in command, stable enough to hold down the fort to whenever he wasn't there.It was tough making the decision because Logan had to vet each and everyone of them, based on their experience, their skills and lastly…their loyalty to the Mafia
t re-occurred to me after leaving that I was making a serious mistake getting myself far involved in this , what were the thoughts and aspects, why was this Show more enough facts about the entire situation .The more that sank into mind , the more I could feel that feeling of anxiety creeping through my soul with every fleeting seconds.I could say that was exactly what I felt that moment even as my phone buzzed again at that moment with my heart ricocheting with each passing seconds.I stood right there in the space of time, listening to my phone buzzing again.There as I stood all, I could feel was those sound for time and space at the back of my mind that one more time, I could feel a darkly expression filled my mind as a burn traveled through my nerves.He had a look of concern right there in his face when he had looked down at where I was .“If that is not one of your callers, why not pick?"My heart sank, it felt like in a way he was daring me to yet at that moment I didn't d
“Logan, you wouldn't believe this!” Jackson exclaimed bursting into the room where Logan boys consulting with a couple of his high-end tech analysts. They've been trying to narrow down most of Andre's known associates to see if they can extract more information out of them. “I have good news, we've found her.”Logan turns away from the man he was listening to, to give Jackson a full audience. “Her? Who are you talking about?”Jackson didn't respond, tapping on his tablet before turning it over to show Logan. It was a picture of Amber. “Why are you showing me this?” Logan questioned.“We managed to hack into Amber's phone records as well as her text messages and we found out that prior to the week leading up to Josie's kidnapping…she and Andre have been in touch a lot.”Logan grabbed the tablet. “When you say ‘a lot’, how often are you talking about?”“I'm talking about twice everyday or even 3 to four times.” Jackson supplied.“That's a lot.” Logan was surprised. “I had no idea she w
“Start talking and maybe I'll not start slicing off your flesh,” Logan ordered, his patience wearing thin.There's no way he'll allow Andre to get his way, even if it means giving up everything he's worked so hard for.He didn't know when it happened, but Josie was like a nasty bug, one that gets under your skin whether you want it to or not.Amber wets her lips, darting her eyes towards Jackson's figure. For some reason, she seems to be more scared of Jackson than the man who's sliced into her skin like a piece of meat.Logan snapped his fingers to gain her attention. “I was asking you a question! What do you know about Josie's kidnapping and Andre's plans all along?”Logan made sure to waggle the tip of the bloody life in front of her face. Once her eyes landed on it, she went pale swallowing up spit. “Okay, okay! I'll tell you what I know!”Logan sat back, waving his hands. “Start talking.”“Um…” she smacked her lips. “Can I get a glass of water, please?” Jackson grunted and she qui
Josie was working on her laptop when she got a text. It was from Amber and the tone of the text screamed urgency.Amber: Josie, please where are you? I need your help!Spooked by the weird way Amber was trying to text her, Josie reached for her phone and tried to call Amber.Unfortunately it wasn't going through and that only made Josie more worried, so she texted back.Josie: Where are you? What's going on?Almost immediately, a response dropped but it wasn't the type that she was looking for.It was a pin to her location with the words ‘hurry’ in capital letters next to it.Josie debated on reaching out for help or talking to Logan about it but she decided that it to be too late to help if the matter really was as urgent as Amber was making it out to be, plus the location she dropped was less than 30 minutes away.If she drives straight there and right back, she would be back before Logan was aware.With that decision made, Josie slammed her laptop closed, reaching for her jacket,
Logan ran his hands all over her body, brushing away her hair so he could clearly scrutinize every bruise or cuts the marred her perfect face. “Are you sure you're okay?”She nods, smiling. “Yes. Even though for a mom and dad feared that I might not make it out alive but…you made hold on a little while longer.”Logan nods, a picture of happiness and contentment on the outside but on the inside, he was actually boiling, livid that he wasn't able to get to her in time before that animal, Andre put his hands on her. *It's okay, you're safe now and I promise you that Andre's not going to hurt you anymore.” He promises, looking into her eyes.Her smile never wavered, even though it got a little shaky at the mention of Andre's name. “I really don't care. I'm safe and I'm here with you, that's all that matters.”Logan kept talking to her, making sure to avoid asking her what went down during her kidnapping, trying to reassure her as best as he could.A couple of minutes later, he could see Ja
