The embarrassment Rebecca had felt after that moment of silence with Taron could not be explained. She had basically poured out her soul to him, and he had nothing to say.

Yes, she took flight, but she had expected him to do something charming like call her back, even if he did not have feelings for her, at least, to let her down gently. Maybe it was because she had been watching too much romantic movies and Korean dramas, and so she expected the men to be just as wonderful as the ones she watched, maybe that was why she had felt so disappointed.

But it did not matter! She thought Taron was better than the other men because he had seen him relate with people, and he acted like someone with good character. That was why she admitted her feelings to him. But he left it hanging, as if she had not said anything at all, and she felt ignored and undervalued.

Which was why she had called in sick to work and gone to get a drink and dance at the club. Just to get herself in high spirits a

    Taron had decided to take Rebecca out to talk and see the stars, and he had already organised the whole thing with a restaurant, all that was left was for him to get Rebecca down to follow him after working hours. Which was going to be a little bit difficult, because he had barely spoken to her all day, and he certainly did not want to admit— to tell Rebecca about his feelings for her in the office. That was what she had done, and it would have been unoriginal. He wanted it to be better, and his mother had already told him to show her, not tell her, and that was what he was going to do. As if the universe was in agreement with his plans, a far away meteor shower was going to be in full view, and Taron had built front seats at a restaurant by the ocean. He knew that things like that fascinated Rebecca, and with that, he would be sure to win her over. Right after he asked her to come with him, that is. Taron looked himself over in the mirror in his office to make sure that every

    Taron felt uncomfortable as he drove Rebecca out of the building. She had not said a word, she had just gone into the car obediently and she was quiet. That was unusual, Rebecca was not always this silent. She loved to talk about a lot of things. It did not take a rocket scientist to know why she was being moody, though. "You're being awfully quiet." Taron said. "Oh, I'm sorry, I just have nothing to talk about currently." Rebecca shrugged, her face still set straight. "I'm sorry that you could not go back home to do what you wanted to do, but this is very important." Taron said. "I had very important things to do back at my place too, but it looks like some things have to shift." Rebecca said. "Suck it up, you work here, the only reason you're giving me this attitude is because I allow you to be informal with me, stop being a brat and think about your life." Taron said in annoyance and Rebecca took in a sharp breath. She realised that Taron was right. She was only

    "I don't know, a kitchen party sounds kind of private, are you sure that your mom would not mind me being there?" Rebecca asked Taron. She was wearing a pretty sundress. "She will not, trust me, she loves you already," Taron stated as he drove. "or do you just not want to go? Because if you don't, that's also fine, you'd just stay here and I'd see you next time." Taron shrugged. "No, I want to come, I'm just nervous, and you know, kitchen party sounds very personal." Rebecca said. "It's going to be the first event that I will attend since I came back." Taron said and they both fell into silence. "What was it like?" Rebecca finally mustered the courage to ask. "Being taken away, what happened there? What did they do to you?" "Do you really want to know?" Taron looked at Rebecca for a split second as he continued to drive. Rebecca sighed after thinking it through. "I do, my curiosity might end up killing me if I don't hear it." "Well, for starters, they kept on cha

    Taron was feeling extremely nervous. He had already planned to ask Rebecca to be his girlfriend, hit the problem was that he did not know what to do. He wondered if he could take her out for ice cream and cake, or if a walk by night would be appropriate. He did not care about the cost, obviously, but he wanted the greatest level of intimacy, and nothing screamed intimacy like walking together, hand in hand in the night, talking about each other's hopes and fears. “Rebecca,” Taron called. He was not going to make the mistake of waiting till it was almost time for them to set out before he asked her. “are you going to be free tonight?” “I should be, why? Do you want to take me somewhere tonight?” Rebecca asked. “Actually, I want to go on a walk with you, if that is alright, but if you don't like that idea, maybe I can take you out for dinner.” Taron shrugged. “Oh, that is okay, I'd love to walk with you.” Rebecca grinned at Taron, and then she left the office with glee o

    Taron blushed as Rebecca's kiss had caught him by surprise, but it didn't take for him to get over the embarrassment and kissed her back. Loud cheers echoed from behind and they were surprised by the large crowd that had formed. Some pictures had been taken and even the paparazzi were around. "How could the paparazzi be here?" Rebecca couldn't believe that the press would be here for something like a small fire. "Well here goes our time". Taron had displeasure in his tone and disappointment in his eyes. The reason why the paparazzi came to the office was not because of the fire but because the person who rushed into the fire was the successor of Pablo chain of Business. Taron, of course. Rebecca was shocked to see the paparazzi taking pictures and asking questions. She had had some exposure with being in the spotlight, since she basically followed Taron around, but this was too much. The crowd called Taron a hero and praised him for how brave he was. And people from th

    Tarim stood on the podium in front of a lot of people who were cheering for him. All because he saved Maria and her baby. Tarpon had gotten tired of the gifts and random visits and stalking, so he told Rebecca, in spite of what he had originally wanted, to make an event where he could address everyone who wanted to give their regards and thanks, so that it would stop once and for all. "I mean, you are basically a hero now, so you have to get used to it." Rebecca shrugged. "Anyone else would have done what I did, Rebecca, don't be so dramatic too." Taron shook his head. "There was a massive crowd there, but none of them stepped in, you currently have no argument." Rebecca flipped her hair in his face and sashayed away. Taron was enjoying being in a relationship with Rebecca, and so was she. If he knew that it would have been this easy to give and receive love, then he would have asked her to be his girlfriend from the very first day. Rebecca adjusted the microphone and sta

    The ruckus had all passed and Taron and Rebecca were enjoying their lives as a new couple, and in his heart, Taron was starting to believe that Rebecca was the one for him. He loved Rebecca and always thought of her before he did anything, but the scars he had gotten from Selena had done him a good number. “Taron? Baby, what’s wrong?” Rebecca asked Taron after she saw him looking out into space, distracted. They were on a date at a fancy restaurant, and Taron was trying to put the past behind him. He was in a relationship with Rebecca, and Rebecca was definitely not Selena. There was no similarity, especially behavior-wise, and Taron felt terrible for thinking about Selena when they were having alone time. Rebecca was having fun. Being with Taron was easily the best decision she had made all year. Taron was so sweet, and he paid attention. He not only listened, but he remembered whatever it was that she had said, so it was easier. Taron was not listening to her. Sure, she was

    Taron hit his hands on the table as he looked at the results. Apparently, the new files he got on the Hernandez’s heir held a different thing from what he had before. “But I don’t understand, didn’t they say that they found him as an artist under a fake name?” Rebecca asked. “Well, according to these papers, that was also a fake name, and it seemed that he had noticed that he was being followed and so he disappeared.” Taron said in a calm, controlled voice. “How do these people manage to be terrible at their job?” Rebecca asked before dialing their customer care service. Taron admired how Rebecca helped him run the place with an iron fist. He admired how she handled affairs with such a passion that one would think that they were her own problems, and not problems of the firm. “Yes, hello? We are calling based on inaccurate information supplied…” Rebecca got up to leave the office and Taron sighed. Whoever it was that was on the receiving end was definitely going to be i

    It had been months since the awful incidents had happened, and Selena, Javier, and all the other offenders were still locked up because of the multitude of crimes they had committed against other people, like Taron and Rebecca, and somehow, some missing funds were traced to Rebecca's account, so she had problems with the entire country too. That, and her faking her death was a major offence because it was a popular tactic pulled by fraudsters, and so, Selena was to spend a long time locked up. Rebecca, on the other hand, was doing so much better. She was starting to move during the second week of her awaking, and Taron was so proud of the progress that she was making in her life, and how she was able to forge ahead. "I can't imagine that our lives were troubled by that nasty woman, how did you even manage to end up with her, you crazy man?" Rebecca teased him, and he rolled his eyes "I was a complete idiot, I don't even have anything to say to defend myself." Taron said, sha

    It was the main day for the attack. Selena and her killers were heading out to attack. The strategy she had made was full proof to her but she had no idea there was an inside man and her plans had been leaked. Anthony and Taron discussed on the news Radish gave the earlier. They have decided to let the cops know about the act and Selena should be at least arrested if not killed. “Hello! Joe Radish when is it starting?” Taron asked Joe over the phone. “Okay, thank you. I owe you, literally.” Taron joked as he cut the call. “I am leaving Rebecca in your care, and I believe she will be safer here than anywhere else.” Taron stroked Rebecca's hair and gave her a kiss before he exited the mafia house. Taron had informed his security officers earlier about the event, so he put them in strategic places that would give them the advantage. He also called the police to fight with him, he paid a lot of money for that. Taron got to his house. He kept a gun with him and kept two se

    The smell of antiseptic filled the room. “Where am I?” Rebecca who had been in a coma finally opened her eyes, she gradually came to her senses. The thick smell of the sterilized air, the sound of beeping, the unfamiliar and white wall made her confirm where she was. “I'm at the hospital.” She said after confirming where she was. “Taron!” She screamed out remembering what had happened. “I have to get out here.” She stated trying to move but was too weak to do so, frustrated by how weak she was, she felt both frustrated and afraid, and she attempted to struggle to move once more, but was unable to. The assistant came in and saw her struggling and yelled. “Do not do that, Miss Moore!” She forced Rebecca to lie back down to the back and used the blanket to cover her. “Who are you?” Rebecca asked confused, as she was not wearing a nurse uniform. “I'm Anaise, one of the assistants under the mafia doctor.” She smiled as the added something into the drip.

    Selena was setting up an elaborate plan. She made it her personal mission to attack Taron, not him in particular. She wanted to inflict pain on him or so I thought. “So, I have been with Taron and I know every nook and crazy of the house, within the next few weeks, we will be planning an elaborate attack on Taron.” Selena said, moving across the room in a most dramatic manner. She hired a group of men to attack the house. Amongst the men was Joe radish, he was Anthony and Taron's man on the inside, and nobody knew about him just yet. - Taron was at the mafia house still feeling down about now seeing Rebecca when she was awake. “Why are you guys laying around doing nothing? You work, you get paid, no one paying you to stand around and do nothing.” Taron yelled at the employees. He knew was being hard, but he did not like being moody, he did not want to be like those bosses like all the ones who just yelled at employees based on personal matters. “Taron, son, yo

    Taron was too busy, as there was a lot of workload on his head for him to do when the phone call came in. "Taron?" It was Anthony. "Yes, Anthony? What happened?" Taron asked, suddenly worried. "It's good news, actually, you have to know that Rebecca is awake." Anthony said and Taron's heart stopped. He was not sure that he had heard correctly, so he got to his feet slowly. "What are you talking about?" Taron asked. "Rebecca, she is currently awake and she is talking to your mother currently." Anthony said, and Taron was silent for a few seconds before he got very excited. "I'm on my way!" Taron said and cut the call. "Julian!" Taron's current secretary started to knock at the door when he heard his name, and all Taron could wonder was the kind of idiot that he had hired as he secretary. "Come in, Julian! You only have to knock twice and open up when I call you in myself!" Taron yelled and the door opened, and Julian practically flew into the office. "What is

    Selena was pacing around as she waited for them to arrive. She had had this nagging feeling for a good, long while now, and now she was sure of it! Taron was playing mind games with her, just as she had been doing with him. "Excuse me? Why did you text like that? I was startled!" Sarah said, looking at Sarah in disbelief as she came inside the house. "It was urgent!" Selena sighed. "You're the first to arrive, I'm waiting for the rest, champagne?" "What do you mean by that? Who else is coming? And next time something is urgent and other people are coming, let me know so that I can prepare!" Sarah yelled. "But you look good already." Selena rolled her eyes. "I can look better." Sarah whined and went to find a spot to sit. "Would you at least tell me why you did this? Why you suddenly called people in here?" Sarah asked. "I'm your best friend, and you're still going to tell everyone eventually!" Selena sighed. She was tired of keeping it to herself anyway. "Wel

    Everything is too quiet, Taron thought as he got up. “Everything is to quiet!” He said, and his voice bounced off his walls, filling him with some kind of eerie sensation. Taron wondered why the day felt so strange, but then he remembered that it was the third day, and he got to see Rebecca come out today. “Jonas!” Taron yelled with a smile on his face. Jonas was back from his vacation, and he was not happy with how things had gone, but he was feeling extremely refreshed from his trip. If only he was around, nothing would have happened to Rebecca, because he would have been in the same car as her, and even if she drove, he would have thrown himself at her immediately, even if it cost him his life. He owed these people that much. “Going to see Miss Moore, sir?” Jonas asked, and Taron grinned excitedly at him. “You know it!” Taron said happily. “Oh Jonah, I wish I had three of you, one for me as my personal companion asides my girl, one for my mother, and one for my gi

  • CHAPTER 187

    Taron got out of his seat, tired of all the terrible things that had been happening— not that Rebecca getting out of there on time before anything could happen was a terrible thing, but the fact that he could not do anything about it. ‘It’, being the fact that he could not go to Rebecca just yet. All that he could hope was that she would get up from the bed sooner, rather than later. “And now, I have to deal with idiots all around me.” Taron muttered and got up, realizing that maybe it was the office that was making him have such a terrible attitude. People did not want to deal with that! He didn’t even like dealing with himself in this mood, and Taron remembered that he had made the decision to be a wonderful boss. Snapping at anyone who asked about Rebecca, biting his employees heads off for the smallest, excusable things? When did he turn to this? Taron knew that he was not exactly to blame, but the people working under him did not know that, or about anything that was go

    Selena’s heart was beating faster than usual when she got to her car. She face palmed herself. Of course Taron would have asked about Rebecca, why did she have to let herself panic like that? Now she made herself look guilty. “Stupid Taron McCarthy!” She groaned. Taron had invited her to lunch, and she thought that maybe he would want to compromise by making Javier’s share a little bigger, and she like reject her offer and happily step on his face before leaving, but none of that happened. Instead, he was having fun poking at her verbally and watching her squirm. Even took her food away from her when she was only halfway done with it. If only she had not accepted his invite in the first place, Selena thought. Sarah would think that she was a fool and make a lot of noise about the mighty falling and everything. But it had to be a good thing, right? Selena could not take her mind off the fact that since Taron had called her to tell ask her about Rebecca’s whereabouts, then
