“What are you doing?” I asked, my body shaking in fright.
“That's not me” he said, smirking. “They are here for you, Maya. Your past have finally caught up to you. You move one inch, your beloved best friend goes down for you… another innocent blood smeared on your dainty hands” he said smiling wickedly.
Slowly I walked towards him. I couldn't let Tiffany go down for me. I couldn't let another innocent soul die for me. This was my fate.
My happy ever after was all a fairy tale after all.
I took the pen, signing my name across the thin black line. Tears went down my cheek, dripping on the contract, the ink smudged on the paper.
I could feel his warmth spread over me, his nose trailed delicately on my ear, leaving wet sparks over it.
“Welcome to your hell, Astrid Grey” he said, my real name rolling out of his lips like a curse.

Chapter: Chapter TenMy eyes gazed blankly outside the window as we drove away from the warehouse. My mind reeled with thoughts of Monica, the guilts starting to creep in, paralyzing me to the soft leather chair.‘Why did this have to happen?’, I thought to myself. ‘No matter what she did, Monica didn't deserve to die. All she did was love the wrong person’My eyes began to well up with tears as I thought of Monica's lifeless body on the cold dirty floor. In her death, she looked so innocent, I almost prayed to God to trade our souls. ‘What if I had done something different?’ I asked myself. ‘What if I had tried to reason with Monica instead of pushing her away? She could have still been here, hating me from the the corners’My guilt began to consume me, making me feel like I was responsible for her death. I knew it was rational but I just couldn't shake the feeling. It felt like a heavy load on my shoulder.As we arrived at Elijah's house, I felt a sense of relieve wash over me. I reminisced the softnes

Chapter: Chapter Nine My mind still reeling from the shock, I failed to hear what Antonio was saying. The minute he walked in I recognised the scar under his chin. The scar I had planted. I almost smirked in satisfaction.“You have some nerve, don't you?” I finally looked up at him to see him already staring down at me.“Fancy seeing you, Antonio. It's clear the fire wasn't able to burn you to death” I smirked seeing the stone cold expression return back to his ugly face.“I'm glad to know you still have that smart mouth” he licked his lip, making bile rise to my throat. “But not even my obsession with you will save you from death now. You knew it was long coming”“Yeah, I know. I always knew it was you behind those black tinted windows. The scar made it easier. Not even the black mask could hide how ugly you were, Antonio” I said with as much calm I could muster. I couldn't let him see the fear behind my eyes or the way my heartbeat tried to match the one inside my belly. If only they would have caught me

Chapter: Chapter EighttttMy eyes slowly opened to the dim lights above that felt like a thousand knives stabbing me in the back. Fragments of the dinner party raced through my mind, the smell of smoke, the sound of shattering glass and the feeling of falling made me want to puke all over the dusty floor.I noticed a figure slumped against the floor, a few feets beside me. Her eyes flickered open, as she immediately locked gaze with me.“Monica” her name came out as a soft whisper from my lips.“Maya” she retorted with a scowl on her lips.“You!” I said, my voice much more thicker, accusation on the tip of my tongue. “I should have known”“I don't know what you're talking about, Maya” she defended, but her eyes held a different answer. It was written all over her, she knew I knew she was behind the attack.I struggled to sit up, the rope tied on my wrist piercing my skin painfully. “How low will you go to destroy my marriage?” I snapped at her.“You say ‘my marriage’ like it's not just some scam contract”“T

Chapter: Chapter seven I woke up to a wet couch beneath my butt, the smell of my arousal softly filling the air. I rubbed my tired eyes, the event of the previous day slowly seeping into my head.Fucking Elijah! He had introduced Monica as his girlfriend, reminding me what a sham our marriage was before he took her into the bedroom we were supposed to share for our honeymoon.The sounds of her moan and his did nothing to satiate the hunger that had been brewing inside me since the beginning of the day.“I see Monica was not the only one moaning my name last night” the devil spoke behind me, his hot breath spreading warmth treacherously over my neck as I stood behind the small bar.“Shut up!” I said, feeling my cheeks heat up for whatever reason. “How low will you stoop, Elijah? You brought your mistress to your honeymoon few hours after signing your marriage contract! You're a disgusting animal!”my eyes meet his, his eyes turning cold. “Watch how you speak to me,” he said, now closer to me, barely a foo

Chapter: Chapter Six Chapter six My hands trembled as I signed the contract, the ink smudging on the white paper.“Welcome to your hell, Astrid Grey,” Elijah whispered into my ear, his cold breath fanning my neck delicately.I felt a chill run down my spine. How did he know my real name? What have I gotten myself into?“Don't look so surprised, Maya or should I say Astrid,” he said in a faux concerned voice. “I know you more than you know yourself.”I stared at him fighting the urge to punch him on the face. I could tell he could read the irritation in my face when he plastered a sly smirk on his face.Just then, Tiffany's voice cut through the tension. “Maya, what's going on? What's happening? Is he threatening you?”I almost considered spilling the entire truth to her, but I knew that would only put her in danger, more danger than she already was.“No, he isn't” I turned to Elijah who had a look of triumph on his smug face.“He is all I ever wanted” I turned back to her with a smile forced on my face. “I

Chapter: Chapter Five Chapter five I sat on the stool, my best friend, Tiffany, doing my hair. I looked beautiful, very beautiful, I couldn't deny it. Will Elijah like my new look? Would he go weak at the knees the same way I knew I would go weak when I saw him in those dark suits?Tiffany stopped, examining her work, a look of worry sat on her face.“What's wrong, Tee?” I asked her. “Are you sure about this? Maya, you're marrying a guy you barely know?” She said, her lips set into a frown.I forced a smile, looking up at her. “ I'm fine, Tee. I know it doesn't seem that way, but really, this is what is best. Elijah is what is best for me”“I don't know, Maya. I just don't feel good about this marriage. Why is he in such a rush? You've known the guy..for like three weeks? Minus the two weeks he was actually absent in your life” she said, refusing to see my point.“I know it seems crazy and unbelievable, but we're in love… I just know it, Tee. He's the one for me” I said, the lies going through my teeth s
