Selena had thrown up twice today. And no, it was not because she was pregnant, it on her period or anything like that. It was because she had received the most sickening news she had heard all day. Selena had made her way to Taron’s office as fast as she could and wondered if Taron had heard. She had been crying all day. “Go up, go up, go up.” She muttered as she the elevator went up in the slowest way ever and wiped the tears from her eyes.- “So, you’d be moving far away now and I’d only have to see you online?” Rebecca asked Taron and he shrugged. “I don’t know, we’d have to see about all that.” Taron replied. “I have something to confess.” Rebecca said and hesitated. Taron noticed the unease on her face. “If you can’t say it now, it’s alright.” “It’s about Selena, she— she—” Taron stood up beside her, causing her to look up from where she stood. The manner in which Taron towered over Rebecca made her feel tingles in her body. The good kind. Taron patted her head. “Ge

    Taron looked disheveled. After hearing of the death of his friend, things took a wild turn for him. It was just like when his father had died all over again, and Taron could not stand it. Eloise had tried her best to help Taron overcome his sorrows, but she could not do much. She did not even know Taron well enough to be there for him during his sad moments. “Taron dear, I’m sorry, I know he was your friend and it hurts you too much, but you’re hurting us with the way you’re acting, please, come back for our sake.” She would say each time she passed his study. Taron was always awake and alert and silent, but Rob’s death took Taron’s silence to a whole other level. His voice had not been heard by most of the people in his household for days, and Selena and his secretary, Rebecca kept on calling him and sending him texts to know if he was fine. And Taron was fine. No, really, he was. He was just trying to process things. How that idiot who had been full of life just had the life an

    Taron let out a satisfied sigh as he looked himself over in the mirror. It had been a week since he sent out that mail, and it was finally time for them to have the meeting. “Sir, are you ready to go?” Jonas stood behind him, also in a very nice suit. “Almost.” Taron said, his eyes still on the mirror, but his mind wandering as he thought of all the things that he could talk about in the meeting. Taron already had two points down, but he wondered if there was a way he could make another point and have everything perfect for him to say. Alliance, codependency and business. Although alliance and codependency could easily become sisters in the whole thing going on in his head. “You look great, as usual, sir,” Jonas assured him. “the car is ready to go.” Taron nodded. “Alright then, let us leave.”- At the meeting, men in suits and ties were seated. They were not usually like this, but Taron had asked that they be dressed like they were going to a very important meeting. “Well, I

    “Well, well, well, I’ve caught you here today,” Anthony chuckled as he got in. “you’ve got a very good looking secretary.” “Thank you, have a seat,” Taron adjusted himself in his chair. “when you said you were coming, I did not expect you to be here in less than hour.” “I wanted to see you for about two weeks, and then I found myself here and I said, ‘Hey! Why don’t I go see this guy?’,” Anthony grinned. “and here I am.” “And here you are,” Taron said wearily. He had so much on his plate to do, and talking to this man for hours was not even part of it. “so, what brings you here, Tony?” Taron could already sense the passive hostility Anthony radiated. “Tony? Well, that’s new.” Anthony leaned back and looked at the art on the wall. “I assumed that we were friends, and like all friends do, I decided to lovingly shorten your name.” Taron said easily. Taron did not regard Anthony as his friend, or anyone else in the King Pin for that matter. For all Taron cared, the guy was trying to get to

    “Mr McCarthy, you have a guest, says that she is Selena Goldbridge.” The nurse in attendance said as she opened the door and popped her head in. “Let her in, thanks.” Taron said. Seconds later, Selena came in with a most worried expression on her face. “Taron, what happened to you?” Selena gasped as she rushed towards his bed. She saw Rebecca sitting in front and gave her a glare before quickly turning back to Taron and holding his head in her hands. “Are you okay? No, that’s a stupid question, I brought your favourite cake.” Selena gave a grin and went to take the basket that she dropped “Thanks Selena, you can take a seat next to Rebecca.” Taron said and Selena went to sit down. “What happened to you?” Selena asked. “I phoned, but Rebecca picked up and said that you were unavailable, and then I saw the news and I was so scared!” “News?” Taron’s eyes widened and he looked at Rebecca. “I did my best to not allow anyone to cover the event, but it’s possible that peop

    "Taron," Selena walked into his office with a girl in tow. "hey." Taron sat up. Selena kept on coming to see him and he wondered why. It was not like they had an off and on romance going or something, and most of the time, she came to him without asking. "Selena, hey." Taron nodded. Selena cleared her throat. "As regards the discussion we had earlier, this is the young girl in question." "I'm basically a woman now, I'm nineteen." Rukayah replied. "Is if your age that makes you a woman?" Taron asked her. "To a large extent, yes, pleased to meet you Mr McCarthy, I'm Rukayah." Rukayah said. "So I've heard amongst others, I'm sure you have some documents with you?" Taron sighed. "I would have you know that this is not what I'm supposed to be doing now, but you know, if I were to go by the way Selena spoke highly of you, then I'd be missing out on a great deal." Rukayah nodded and smiled at Selena gratefully. "You finished high school two years ago." Taron stated. "I plan

    “I am going to kill all of you!" Ronaldo said, barreling towards the men, shirtless and seized the one in the middle. Weeks had passed, and Ronaldo was not over his brother, Rob’s death. And he was sure that his killer was among these men whom he knew very well. "What? What is going on, what do you want from us?" The guy asked. He had dyed his hair green and cut it low. The guy looked up to see who it was that had him. "Ronaldo? Is everything okay?" The guy asked. "I heard about Roberto, I'm sorry for your loss." The other men went towards Ronaldo and tried to free their friend from his grip. "Don't patronize me, Sol, you think that I did not know that you said that you would kill Rob for winning all the money? Huh?" Ronaldo screamed at Sol. Ronaldo did not care about any of them anymore. Roberto was his lifeline, as now he was gone. "Yo buddy, calm down," A taller man with a pot belly that was quite obvious even through his shirt said. "Don't tell me to calm down, Paul

    Taron felt useless. He was tired of feeling like this over and over again, but it seemed like the universe enjoyed tormenting him. When he was with his mother before she chased him out, she made sure that he knew how bad she felt to have him in her life. When he was in a relationship with Selena, he was unable to provide and that made Selena see him as a useless person too. And then when Rob died, he felt like if he had done something earlier, then his friend would probably still be alive. Taron knew that that was not likely, he could not predict the future and whoever it was that killed Rob had his eyes on him, so regardless, Rob would still have died. Taron was very much aware, but he wanted to feel the pain for a little longer. He was not ready for the rational side of his brain to take control. He saw a sign that read. The Tipsy Scholar: Where the Booze flows and the Brains roam free. Taron sighed. He had never been to a bar before, and he was not big on drinking. But maybe

    "That's the third time that has happened in ten minutes." Rebecca stood in front of the pile of vomit Taron had left on the ground again, patting his back. "It's a good thing you have paper towels here, handy for situations like this." She brought the towels and started to clean his face. “I can’t imagine your mother seeing you like this.” Rebecca giggled as they got back in the car. “No! No mother!” Taron exclaimed. Rebecca found it comforting to find out that Taron could still think, even if it was not reliable. She felt that it would be better if he had some control so he could go to sleep easier after eating at her place. She was wrong. “Sir! Sir! Don’t come outside, stay in there and take your bath and wear your towel when you’re done!” Rebecca yelled at Taron who was trying to open the door. “I want the door open!” Taron said stubbornly as Rebecca held on to the door of the bathroom for dear life— or dear sight, whichever. “No!” Rebecca said stubbornly.

    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.

  • CHAPTER 191

    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
