Myles had managed to get into her head with his words of deceit and Rebecca had hoped she could bring herself to not believe it but easier said than done. Myles held her hand in his gently yet firmly. "Listen to me, I know it is kind of difficult for you to process things right now but I think I know what you need right now..." His voice was a calming tone that could bring a sheepish smile to a woman's face if it were a normal occasion. She looked up at him with an inquisitive expression on her face. Her face flushed red as her eyes widened with so much surprise, the last thing she had expected was happening right in front of her.A silver piece of jewelry shimmered in front of her eyes and the diamonds used to bring it to life reflected through her eyes with a beautiful glint. He had removed a small black box from his pocket and when he opened it, a diamond ring sat inside it. A gasp left her mouth. "Myles! What are you...?""Rebecca... Ms. Knowles... All you need right now is so
The whole hospital room was upside down. Nothing could be done by drowsy Theron who laid on the bed, half awoken from all the noise and half sleepy from his pain relief pills. Rebecca was too weak a person to take on a thug by herself and Myles was frightened to death by the name he had heard from the man. There was only one Brynn in the whole of Beaumont city courageous enough to go around causing trouble and taking whatever woman he desired without being questioned by the law and it was Matson Brynn, also known as the god of all thugs. Myles swallowed hard, he told himself he had heard wrong as the Brynn family's son was away from the city and his arrival had not been made known yet so he was probably just a thug with the same name. If he wasn't a random thug then he would introduce himself by telling them who his father was firstly just to incite fear in them."Mr Jameson, please help us!" Diana yelled out as she struggled to free herself from Jason's strong grip. Diana's word
Diana felt like her insides had turned to the outside. How dare he be such a coward? It was understanding when Ashton did it, he probably hated her daughter and cared less if she was looted away but him?!!Myles was supposed to marry his daughter but yet he cowered away now. "Mr Jameson! What are you saying?!" Her eyes bulged out like he was about to pop out of her eye sockets. Myles just remained quiet where he laid while Jason roared a mocking laugh. How was he to still speak up about Rebecca and that she was about to become his bride? With such a situation, he had to choose between saving himself or her. He wasn't daft enough to choose someone else's life over his own dear life no matter who the person was. His determination to remain there without moving a muscle was very strong as he lay still on the ground no matter how many times Diana chose to call out his name to fight. "So, Mr Jameson... Do you mind if I take her with me? Do you feel the need to stop me if I do so?" Ja
Jason roared a laugh. "You had your chance, prince charming." He turned towards Rio. "Bring her over here and teach this young hero a lesson. After this class, you'll never save anyone ever again." Rio did as his boss commanded, carefully placing Rebecca down next to Jason who kept a firm grip over her wrist while she struggled to escape. "Ashton! Don't be foolish! Run now! They'll kill you!" Rebecca hollered hoping he would at least listen to her and leave. "Last chance hero." Jason added. "Sorry but I don't take orders from anyone." Ashton responded. Jason smirked. "This is going to be interesting. The last one didn't try to fight back so it was just too boring. Break his bones boys." With his order, Jason's thugs rushed forward for Ashton, all of them attacking almost at the same time. As the men reached forward to strike Ashton, each of them found themselves on the ground, lying in a pile against each other. All Ashton needed to do was to target a sensitive part of
Jason Brynn grinned as he saw the looks on Rebecca's and her mother's face. Rebecca was indeed left in shock as she heard the description of the man that Ashton had just struck. The son of the known and feared Matson Brynn! A thug like a god! There was no escaping his wrath if Ashton were to harm him even more. Definitely, they would all be dragged into facing his deadly wrath and that was the last thing Rebecca or even her mother ever wanted. Jason sat up on the floor with a sinister grin on his face. He licked the blood off of his lower lip while trying to taunt Ashton with his gaze. "Do you know who I am now?" Ashton shrugged his shoulders plainly. "I don't think I care enough to know.""You ignorant fool! I will kill you and have your head hung on your doorstep for your entire family to see and then I'll order them never to take it down so they can be reminded of how foolish you were on this day!" Jason threatened him."Unless…" he muttered gently. "Unless you acknowledge me
Rio wanted to snap to his feet and give the stranger a good beating but he needed no one to tell him that he would only be getting himself killed. So he remained on the floor while thinking of a way to intimate Ashton to the extent that he would have to give up and run away. "Don't you know who Mr Brynn is? Huh?! Why are you acting so stubbornly?! I'm only telling you this so you can have a chance to save your life you useless freak! Stop now and leave!" He growled at his loudest. "You little troublesome troll! Why won't you listen when they are giving you a chance?! Huh?!" Diana growled. "Stop being so foolish! Nobody needs your heroism!" "Really?" Ashton arched his brow at the howling woman. "This jerk right here was about to do terrible things to Rebecca-- your own daughter and yet you side him now just because you hear he is the son of some thug?!""You are wrong! If any one is the jerk here then it's you! Mr Brynn only insisted on grabbing a drink with my daughter, you are the
The road ahead felt dark and lonely even though the sun was still up and shining. Ashton made his way through several people that occupied the road with rage burning inside of him.At first, it was anger, then it soon developed into self hatred. But after a while, it dissolved into emptiness. He felt like an empty vessel as he walked down the road with his hands buried into the depth of his pocket.The sky was a beautiful light blue with white smokish clouds floating about and the way everything came together to make a beautiful picture, including the birds that flew around in the farthest part of the sky making them look like little floating objects, it could make a sad person feel better just by looking at it.But Ashton didn't even see the specialty in it at the moment, what he felt was the sun beating down on him heavily-- even though it wasn't that heavy-- and a bunch of birds flying about aimlessly in the cloud that hurt his eyes a little when he tried to look at it. He had ne
Matson relaxed into his chair while sipping on a cup of herbal green tea. Hot and fresh from the kettle. He leaned forward and dropped his cup down on the small stool-like table that sat in front of him as he heard a knock on his door. "Come in." He responded to the knock.Rio pushed the door open and walked into the room with a few others that were present at the scene of the fight. Some of them had bandages on their head, some their hands, but all of them had a bandage on one part of or the other of their body. Matson arched his brow as he saw them file in and formed a straight horizontal line with their heads bowed down.Rio's was the only one that was up after he gave the man a deep bow in respect. "So…?" Matson's brow twitched as he asked."That man, he goes by the name Ashton Pearce and he happened to be the ex husband of Ms. Knowles. They only got a divorce a few days ago so I am guessing he still has feelings for her and he fought to protect her." Rio explained to the man w
