Jace When I entered the mall I saw the unimaginable. At first I had to stand and look, if it was my imagination or my wife, who was being dragged by her hair, a lady stood before her, ranting continuously, I couldn't hold myself anymore, who the hell was that woman? And why was scarlet not doing anything about the humiliation.It pissed me off immediately, I stormed towards them, “ how dare you humiliate my wife!” Everyone switched their attention from scarlet then to me,I took her phone then smashed it beneath my feet, “ how dare you!” I huffed, she scurried backwards in fear.“Annastacia?”She looked at scarlet then back at me, “your wife no you are mistaking she's not you_?”,“Shut up before i shut it for you” i rebuffed immediately she became speechless, it felt as though i had furnace in my heart as i glared at her, i wanted to do so many bad things to her, so she begged for her life, but my eyes wandered to the crowd in the room, everyone had their phones above there noses a
Lucy's POV"What!?" Mom exclaimed, disbelief flashing across her features. "You are joking right? Or are you drunk?"I laughed. "Drunk? Hell, no! I said I saw your stepdaughter, Anastasia shopping in a luxury store and she's fucking married to a wealthy man.""Anastasia?" She repeated. "Okay, maybe I can understand that she's been sleeping around with wealthy men to get enough money to shop there, but marraige? That's utter nonsense!"I flashed her an angry look. "Believe me or not, Anastasia is married to Jace Morray! I saw the guy with my very own eyes. He even threatened to deal with me if I ever troubled his wife again."Mom stared at me in confusion. She was probably having conflicting thoughts, she didn't know whether to believe me or not. She poured herself a cup of coffee as if trying to cool her off head."So, what you are saying is that Anastasia is now married?" She asked.I nodded. "She was wearing a wedding ring. I didn't notice it at first, but I saw it when I took her p
Liam's POVI had my eyes close as I grabbed my phone tight, struggling to make sense of what Lucy was saying. My other hand was fiddling with the whore's nipples, as she sucked on my dick. I don't understand why Lucy had to call me at the wrong time. She said something about coming and that brought me to my senses.I withdrew my dick from the whore's mouth, pulling her up and spanking her hard in the ass. She screamed in pleasure. "Shush!" I threw her a dirty look before speaking to Lucy again."You don't have to make the trouble of coming here, Lucy," I started, making my voice sound as neutral as possible. "I could always come and meet you.""Why? It's not a trouble for me, and besides, it's been long since I saw you at your place." She sounded undeniably irritated. She must have figured out that I was with a whore. That stupid bitch and her great discerning skills."Eh..hem---" I cleared my throat, scowling at the phone and trying to think of something meaningful to say. An excuse
Lucy"Who are you!? And what are you doing here!?" I repeated, yelling even louder.The lady shivered slightly, looking back at Liam as if he should intervene. I shot him a glare and he quickly looked away, bowing his head."Well, I am here to give uhm---I I wanted to---" She stuttered. I studied her closely. She looked flustered, her clothes were rumpled and her hair a mess. Bitch! I knew she was the whore Liam was banging earlier. Does she think I'm a fool or what? I looked at her, and she was now staring blindly into space. She was trying to come up with a good lie. Well, let's hear it then."I'm waiting for your answer!" I barked. "What the hell are you doing in my fucking boyfriend's house?""He's my boss!." It seemed to have suddenly occured to her at the heat of the moment. She raised her chin up and met my gaze. "I came to report something about work.""Hell, yeah! Work it is. You came to deliver your fucssy to your boss in his bedroom." I spat out at her.king pu"I have no id
Jace's POVThe phone woke me up with a startling jolt. My body ached all over from the strenuous exercise I did till midnight. I had almost passed out from exhaustion, so I had decided to make today a resting day.So who the fuck was calling!? I reached for the phone and checked the caller id, it was an unknown number. Not many people had my private contact, so I wondered who it could be. Yawning widely, I answered the call. "Hello?" I mumbled."Hello." The caller said.The voice was annoyingly familiar. If not that bastard, who else would have the guts to call me at such hour? It was my bastard cousin, Liam. God help me! I'll fucking kill the guy."What the fuck is wrong with you?. Why are you calling me!?" I barked into the phone."Chill bro. It's not like it's a crime to call my brother."I scoffed. "Brother!? Who the hell is your brother? You must be daydreaming, Liam. If you have nothing meaningful to say, I would do you the honour of ending the call now.""Wait!" He suddenly sh
Anastasia's POVWhat had just happened!? Jace had just seen my complete nakedness! I was so red with embarrassment. My mouth refused to produce any sound, not that I even knew what to say. My head was completely empty right now. I didn't think my face could get any hotter, but I felt like flames were dancing on my forehead. I wish I could sink under the bed."I---- what--- what do you need?" I stuttered, unable to raise my head.I waited for an answer but received none. Jace just kept staring at me. I could notice the lecherous gleam in his eyes. I cleared my throat and tried again. "Mr Jace Morray, do we have a problem? Is there anything you need?" My voice was firm now.That finally got his attention. "What do you mean by Mr Jace Morray? Say my name!" He suddenly yelled.I wanted to make him furious the more so I kept mute. He saw my nakedness and yet, he's still acting this way, without any iota of remorse."Say my name!!" He repeated, growling."Mr Jace Morray!" I said firmly, re
Anastasia's POVThe sun streaked in through the window. It was morning already. Yesterday's scene played in my head and shook my head to get it away from my mind. My heart did a flip in my chest as I thought about seeing Jace this morning. I didn't even know how to face him, or what I'll do if he tried to talk to me. Would I just run away or would I chide him for what he tried to do to me yesterday.I decided against everything. It would be really nice just to go for either a walk or a run just to avoid any further embarrassment.I grab my joggers and a sweater and sneaked out of the house. As I walked, my mind drifted to Lucy and her mother. What were they thinking right now? I knew Lucy was never the one to give up easily. She had recognized me back at the store house, and the truth would have been spilled if not the timely intervention of Jace.Thinking of Jace, my mind drifted back again to yesterday. I could still feel his dick palmed against my hand. I couldn't help but wonder w
Anastasia's POVI entered the house through the back door, walking as stealthily as possible, and secretly praying I wouldn't get caught.I made my way towards the staircase when I heard the voice. "Scarlet!" His voice was cold. I guess luck was not on my sides. I froze, but refused to turn to look at him.I heard his footsteps as he approached in fast strides, my heart thumping hard in my chest with each step he took. He placed a hand on my shoulders and turned me slowly to face him. His eyes were as cold as the winter night. I quickly averted my gaze. I was so scared, I thought I might faint anytime. Only that I didn't."Where are you coming from!?" He demanded, his voice grave. I looked into his eyes and saw the silent warning in them. Don't you dare lie to me! It said. The warning was so clear that I began shaking nervously. What if he becomes angry when I tell him I went to man's house?As soon as the thought crossed my mind, I knew I should discard it. I shouldn't say that to h
Jace’s POVScarlett and I reconciled and I managed to convince her into coming back home with me which was almost an impossible task. Her Mom and Lucy made it hard as they insisted that they had recently reconciled with her and didn’t want to let go of her.Lucy also talked to me in private and confessed all her wrongdoings as well, she even volunteered to go the police and confess everything as well but I stopped her. She had changed her ways and accepted that she was wrong so I forgave her, it would break Scarlett to know that her sister was in jail.Though we’re together yet our contract marriage had ended and I knew that there was no other person that I would rather spend the rest of my life with. I made plans along with Lucy to ask Scarlett to marry me.I asked her out on a date as usual and had everything planned out already. We got dressed and I took her to a five star restaurant. We got served her favorite meal and she ate happily.“Are you enjoying the meal?” I asked.“Of co
Scarlett (Anastasia’s) POVIt’s been a week after the incidence and my life has been paradise save for the absence of Jace. Lucy and I became inseparable and began to catch up on the things we’ve missed in each other’s life.She would buy me flowers, clothes and we’d go out together and have fun, I was beginning to get accustomed to calling stepmom my mom and she’s being trying hard to make up for her mistakes. Everything was perfect yet I missed Jace.Lucy was busy baking my favorite strawberry pies in the kitchen and I stepped out to the balcony to receive fresh air after teasing her and making a mess with the flour in the kitchen.The breeze reminded me of the moments I spent with Jace, how we were lovey-dovey and I felt I was riding on a winged stallion on the clouds but all of that was now in the past. Our marriage had legally ended a week ago.I looked up and saw a familiar figure approach the house and saw that it was Jace, I smiled and kept enjoying the atmosphere and immediat
Scarlett’s PovAfter I left Jace’s mansion I realized there was nowhere else for me to go than to go back home. I hesitated for the first two days as I lodged in an hotel and reviewed my entire life. I had fallen in love with a man who saw me as a plaything and didn’t feel the least same.I suffered in the hands of Stacy who constantly reminded me that I was a nobody yet I persisted thinking Jace loved me but in the end she was right. Our marriage was nothing but a contract after all.Being set up with another man was even more disgusting but Jace made me feel like a woman and told me that it was all a lie since I was drugged and couldn’t remember anything. I packed my things and decided to go back to my stepmother and stepsister.I was determined to bear whatever they throw my way and also live a peaceful life until I can get a good job and just leave the city forever. As I stepped foot at the house all trhe bad m,emories came flooding back in my head.I had left thinking I’d never c
Jace’s POVI didn’t want to believe that Stacy had anything to do with Scarlett’s disappearance but it was too much of a coincidence for her to appear and then Scarlett disappears. I then realized that following any of those bad events is Stacy’s presence.She insisted that I find her in one of the hotel rooms in which I found Scarlett and hers happens to coincidentally be the one opposite it. I had just been blinded by our friendship and refused to acknowledge that she was a suspect.Tara’s words confirmed that Scarlett really loves me and I’ve be with her too long to be able to distinguish if she was after my monet or not. There were instances where I was helpless and she could have carthered away all of my monety but she still stood by me.I decided to chose love over friendship and went to confront Stacy. At the face of confrontation I got to know that she betrayed me because she allegedly loved me but it was all lies, she didn’t love me, Scarlett did. Scarlett taught me what love
Stacy’s POVLiam and I didn’t find a solution even after hours of thinking and he left to attend to an important business so I headed home. Throughout the drive back home I couldn’t stop thinking of the consequences of my actions. Everything was perfectly ruined.I began to regret my actions and wished I could turn back the hands of time and change my actions but there was nothing like such so I had to find a way to get myself out of this mess. I contemplated Liam’s advice of running away but Jace was influential and would find me even if it meant going to the ends of the world and tearing countries up.I lingered in my car for few more minutes, trying to figure out a way even if it meant shifting all the blame on Liam. Liam would certainly feel betrayed but I couldn’t afford falling out with him. The evidences were too glaring and incriminating for me to deny connections with him.The llok on Jace’s face whne he discovers that I am the cause of his recent pain would be excruciatingl
Jace’s POVI woke up with a banging headache and lay still for few minutes. I shut my eyes and fell asleep once more with the aim of getting rid of the headache before waking up. The hangover from the alcohol I took made me weak. I would have opted for painkillers but I felt too lazy to get up.I wake up half an hour later and yawned widely, satisfied that the headache had subsided though I could still faintly feel some pain. I leaned back against the bed frame and the incidence of the previous day flooded my memory.With a sigh, I gently rubbed my temples and shook my head as I remembered getting wasted to the point where I poured out my heart contents and grievances to Stacy and she consoled me.Stacy has been with me as a friend for as long as I remember and I completely trust her more than anyone else but I’ve been having my doubts about her and reasons to doubt her as well but I didn’t want them to be through as she’s been the only one who stayed with me come rain come sunshine.
Stacy’s POVStill grumbling and regretting the opportunity that I just passed by, I arrived at where Liam asked to meet looking swollen. If it weren’t for him I would be rolling under the sheets with Jace and hopefully have his seeds inside of me by now.It was something I’ve always dreamt of and whatever Liam called me for should better be worth it else I’ll make him regret it. Though Jace was now mine and there’s no longer any obstruction between us but I wanted the process to be fast and also to find something that would hold him down.If I got pregnant, he would surely take responsibility and I couldn’t wait for that to happen. Liam looked impatient and worried the moment I stepped in the room and scowled at me.“Where have you been?” He snapped.I got irritated.“Slow down your horses Liam, why are you been so irritable?” I threw back.He ran his fingers through his hair, something he does whenever he was in some sort of trouble or frustrated.“We’re in big trouble.” He divulged.
Stacy’s POVImmediately we were done with our looting I thanked the girls for their cooperation and took everything to my house where I safely stacked them somewhere hidden and proceeded to go Jace’s house and see how far my plan has worked. When I arrived there the guards and maids wore a swollen expression.“Good afternoon ma’am.” The maids greeted.I acknowledge their greetings with a wave.“Where’s Jace?” I asked.“He’s at the mini bar.” A maid replied.I nodded and walked there, the loud clanging of my heels sounded sonorous to my ears and I saw Jace from afar, drinking like his life depended on it. It meant that he had found the letter and my plan had worked just as I expected it to.“Jace.” I called out.He turned to look at me for a split second before turning his attention back to his glass of alcohol. I stood before him and tried to touch him but he flinched and acted as if my touch repulsed him.“Jace, what happened to you?” I asked worriedly.He ignored me and downed anoth
Jace’s POVThough I wasn’t satisfied with what I had found since it was half information from Adam Brooke I still didn’t give up hope because he gave me a lead which I was sure to follow. Seeing that the blackmailer was a male made me realize that the shoe fits Liam, only he could dare such.I needed to know why he did it but I wasn’t going to show him all of my cards at once as it would only ruin the game. I decided to gather all evidences first before attacking him. I decided to go back home to that one person who makes my life worth living and couldn’t wait to have her in my arms.As I parked the car I couldn’t stop reminiscing about the sweet intimate moments I shared with her. I would go a million miles to protect her smile and ensure that she keeps smiling forever. I walked into the house and the maids greeted me warmly but I was eager to hear one voice.I rushed up the stairs and didn’t bother going to my room to change my dress before going straight to Scarlett’s room. I knock
