“Rebecca, I need to talk to you.” Taron pulled Rebecca up to sit down. She was scrolling mindlessly through the channels. “I’m all ears.” Rebecca said, her voice uninterested. “I think that your accident might not have been an accident at all.” Taron said, and Rebecca looked at him wildly, like he was mad. “What do you mean?” Rebecca asked, and Taron sighed before bringing the letter out of his pocket. “What is this? Who is this person?” Rebecca asked. “I don’t know, it was delivered through a company, and my men are still trying to trace it.” Taron said and Rebecca started to cry. “The person thought that they could kill me, but they ended up killing my baby instead, and killing me on the inside, mission successful indeed.” Rebecca got out of bed and went straight into the bathroom, and soon, Taron heard the sound of running water. He had removed all the sharp objects from there, so he was not that worried, but he was definitely surprised when Rebecca came out a
"Stop, I can't do this!" Henry pushed Sarah off of him gently and sat up. Sarah sat up, wondering what went wrong. "Are you okay?" "I am, are you?" He asked. They were making out and he suddenly stopped, and he had the audacity to ask her if she was okay? "You are the one who stopped, what is wrong with you?" “You were not into it, it felt like you were trying to just do it because I wanted to, and not because you wanted to, I don’t want that.” Henry sat up and drew closer to Sarah, holding her hands gently. Sarah looked away. “Baby, what is it?” He asked. “Oh, so we are baby now? When did that happen?” Sarah asked, glaring at him. “Fine, we are not official yet, but it just moved out of my mouth, and I liked hearing it out loud.” “I am not your baby, we are just,” Sarah waved her arms around wildly. “whatever this is called! If it is called anything.” “I believe the appropriate name for this is called a situation ship.” Henry shrugged, and dodged a pil
Javier was walking around the place, wondering what to do about his situation. To fight, or to flee? He asked himself as he paced around the house. He was definitely in love with Selena, but he had never been an accomplice to something as grace as this. Attempted murder. Sure, it had been quite a while since the incident and all, but he was still worried about it. What if something like this happens again? Selena did not act as if she was a stranger to doing something like that when they talked about it. "What if she does this thing again?" He asked himself as he moved around, wondering if his life was worth all the money that she believed that they would get. After all, there was no insurance that she would allow him to remain alive after they got the money. And knowing Selena, she would find a way to collect it all from him, and it was not as if if he died, people will know about it. And if people knew about it, what would they do? Javier briefly contemplated his choices.
Rebecca got surprised when she heard their voices as they were talking about their family and the issues that they had, and so she got up to greet them. Eloise came in, walking elegantly, and Anthony was behind her, poised. They looked so young, that no one would normally believe that this was Taron's mother, and this man had children as old as her. "Rebecca, my darling!" Eloise exclaimed and went on to embrace Rebecca with a long hug. "It's so good to see you, I've missed you so much!" Rebecca replied. "And you look so wonderful, I need to know your secret." "Ah, this girl, she flatters me." "Unless if flattery is defined as the truth of things, you know?" Rebecca gave her charming smile, and Anthony laughed as he went forward to hug her. "Rebecca is only saying the truth, my dear," Anthony said, hugging her lightly. "and how are you, Rebecca?" "Actually, I'm fine, thank you for asking, the whole spell has passed now, and I'm back to being just me." She nodded.
"Taron? Can you hear me?" Rebecca asked. "Yes I can, what is going on over there?" "There are people here to see you, and I think you would want to see what is going on, and who they are." Rebecca said, her voice low. "Why are you whispering?" Taron asked Rebecca, wondering if everything was okay. "Taron, come out!" She said and disconnected. Taron looked at his mom and Anthony. “What is going on?” Eloise asked, and Taron shrugged, not knowing what to say. “Well, you should go and see what is going on, we will be right here, waiting for you to get back.” Anthony said, and Taron nodded before going out. “Hello, Mr McCarthy.” Taron froze as he heard Selena’s voice. What was she doing here? And the man that she was with— Taron could recognize the face of that man anywhere, as he looked just like his late, old friend, Pablo Hernandez. “Javier? Javier Hernandez?” Taron asked in surprise, and the man beside Selena just nodded gravely, and without a word.
“What just happened here?” Anthony asked, extremely confused. “I’m going after them, I have to.” Taron said and immediately left to follow them. Rebecca pushed a button and asked the security to make sure that no one left the gates of the building. “Rebecca, please wait and let us know about what’s going on!” Eloise said and Rebecca shook her head. “Not yet, I have to go and join Taron to handle the terrible people in here.” Rebecca said and rushed to the stairs because the lift was already in use. Eloise and Anthony looked at each other, extremely worried. “What do you think is going on, Anthony?” Eloise asked, and Anthony sighed. “What do you know about your son’s wealth, my love?” He asked her, and she shrugged. “I don’t know how to answer that, but I know that he is loaded, one of the richest in the world now.” Eloise nodded and Anthony shook his head. “No, I was asking if you knew how he got his wealth, I should have phrased the question properly.” Anth
Taron was frustrated. It was like whatever it was that Selena had unleashed on him was working perfectly. One of his companies was trending online, but for wrong reasons, where he was accused of overworking and underpaying his workers, in spite of being one of the biggest in the world. It was not as bad as a personal scandal, but it was a terrible thing in itself. People were calling the heads of the offices and Taron out, and the HR of the affected company had already planned to make videos to convince the public that it was all a lie. People who Taron had turned their businesses down when Taron refused to partner with them were there too, and for some reason, Taron felt that this was only the beginning of it all, and he wasn’t sure of what to make of his foreboding. Rebecca had been doing her best to make things easier, but that didn’t stop his thoughts from running wild. But as he had seemed to lose himself in worry more often than usual, she took up most of the managing work,
Things were disturbing Taron left and right and he had no choice but to continue with what he had to do, and he didn’t want anyone else to worry. Eloise called as he was driving, but he didn’t pick up his phone until he got to work. Then he called her back. Taron!” Eloise sounded like she was just relieved of something. “You had me so worried, where did you go?” “I didn’t actually go anywhere, mom, I was driving, so I could not pick up the phone.” Taron said and Eloise muttered somethings before she finally started to speak. “I was just talking to Anthony, and we were thinking of ways to support, and he told me that he would send someone over to you.” Eloise said. “Send someone over to me? Why? And what is the person going to do for me?” Taron asked. “I don’t know, which is why he would also be on his way soon, he’s just getting ready, this is not my place of understanding, you know? All I know is that you’re going to get aid, and that’s good.” Eloise said. “Okay m
