Stacy’s POV After Liam left, I sat in the middle of my bed, feeling really disgusted with myself. I couldn’t recover from the fact that I just had sex with Liam—not just anyone but the shameless cousin of Jace. Imagining his filthy hand made me cringe, and I became more angry. I felt used. I couldn’t believe the bastard had seen my whole body and enjoyed every bit of it. The thought of that was more disgusting to me than anything in his world.I peeled the sheet off of me, revealing my half-naked body. I managed to get myself out of bed and walk in the direction of my bathroom. With a mix of anger and disgust, I got under my shower, peeling off the rest of the clothing left on me. I started to scrub myself harshly, like there was dirt all over. I can’t believe I acted like a loose woman and let that bastard Liam get a hold of me and play his dirty games on me. Liam definitely had a loose tongue. What if he met with Jace and spilled everything to him? What will happen when Jace finds
Stacy‘s POVWhy is she so interested in Anastasia?“By the way, why are you asking about Liam?” Her voice suddenly jerked me out of my thoughts. I guess she asked, seeing that I wouldn’t reply to her about Anastasia.My lips slowly curled up into a light smile, covering up the disappointment on my face."Oh, about Liam? It was nothing; I was just a bit curious, nothing special.” I said it jokingly.I watched her give a light nod, and I responded with a fake smile.Seeing that I was already losing the little time that I had, I moved a few feet closer to Lucy.“Lucy, do you mind coming over to my house?” I asked with a devilish smirk tugging at the edge of my lips, but luckily she couldn’t notice that.I was planning to get my revenge on Liam, and definitely Lucy here will be of help.I watched her raise her gaze directly to my face; her brows scampered together a little.“Your house?” She asked, and I nodded lightly.She suddenly scoffed.“I don’t think I’m interested in that.” She sai
Lucy’s POVI got on my feet and paraded through her house. A smile escaped from my lips as I traced my finger on the wall portrait. A wall portrait of a little girl reaching out for a red heart balloon that is flying away from herThe door of her room, which was widely open, suddenly caught my attention. I took my feet and walked in the direction. The moment I strode my feet in, I gasped lightly in surprise, seeing how magnificent her bedroom was. I wasn’t expecting anything this big and classic.The crystal necklace on her drawer suddenly caught my attention. I walked in the direction and picked it up. It was a crystal necklace that boldly had her name on it.“Stacy.” I voiced out quietly.The door of her bathroom, which was widely open behind me, suddenly caught my attention the second time. In a wink of an eye, I took my feet and walked in the direction. My eyes sparkled at the sight of the marble floor and wall. For a minute, I began to wonder how rich she really was. My brows sca
Liam's POVI sat in my car, watching the mansion like a private investigator. Why is Scarlet not out yet? Has Jace warned her not to step foot outside again? I really had to see her today. Who knows, she might agree to follow me home and I'll finally get to have my way with her.Gosh! I so much long to press those soft and plumpy pounds of flesh on her chest. I had already fantasized about fucking her hard, sucking and teasing those twin peaks that glorified her breast. I knew she would love it. She would scream my name, while squirming and begging me to fuck her harder.I would fuck her harder and give her a dozen orgasm. She would moan and wriggle like a wild fire while I thrust deeper into her wet pussy, hitting her sweet spot harder till I----Finally, she was out. She stood in the balcony of the mansion, scowling out at the sky. Her gaze fell on the car and I smiled smugly as I went out of the car. "Anastasia!" I called out, ensuring that I wasn't too loud, so as not to draw Jac
Liam's POVShe turned to face me now and I knew she was suspicious of me. I wanted to tell her that I was inviting her so that I could fuck her senseless and make both of us drown into oblivion. I swallowed hard and smiled"Well, the initial reason was a secret. But now, I have to spill it since you are so suspicious. I actually just made a painting and I wanted to show it to the only friend I had." I shrugged, looking serious."Well, I had no idea that I was the only friend you had." She said tersely, and I could detect the silent edge that laced her voice. The tone bordered on sarcastic.She continued. "Well, what or who is in the painting?" She pouted slightly, looking like a cute little puppy."There's no need telling you that since you won't see it."She cocked her head, a faint smile lurking around her lips. "And who said I wouldn't?"Few minutes later, we had arrived at my place and I took Stacia to my art room. She was checking out different painting that I made, smiling as sh
Stacy's POVWhat!? This bastard Liam was undressing Scarlet. How many more of his dirty tricks is he trying to pull? I had to have proofs to accuse him in case he tries to deny it. My gaze fell on the camera that was filming everything he was doing. It was very close to me.I had to be very careful in moving or he'll notice that someone else was in the room with him. I stealthily made my way from behind the curtain and tiptoed to the camera. Grabbing it tightly, I went out the door, careful not to close it.But it was as if God wanted to put me to test as my step faltered and I almost fell to the floor. My legs made a screeching sound and I immediately hid behind the door as I heard Liam's footsteps approaching."Who is there!?" He barked. His voice was shaking even so."Come out now, or you'll find yourself to blame when I find you myself!" His footsteps slowed down now, and he began humming a low tune as he moved closer to the door.He scanned the entire room, but he didn't find any
Liam's POVI can't believe this bitch manged to sneak into my room. How long had she been here? How much did she see? Did she even see anything at all or she was just bluffing? Now, she even thinks she can push me around."You're sure about that?" She asked and I nodded."I want you hear that you're sure!" She said, pissing me off.I manged to keep my face neutral. "Yes, I'm sure." I said through gritted teeth."Good." She said. "So what are you planning on doing with her now?"The crazy bitch had already spoilt my plans. I can't possibly fuck Scarlet in front of her, expect of course she wanted us to have a threesome. I stifled a laughter at the thought of fucking both of them at the same time. I had a second plan anyway. We'd just have to go with that for now--- before I found out where she kept the camera.Where could she have kept it, that bitch!? My gaze flickered to her hand and I saw that she was carrying a handbag. It was probably in there. Let's see what I can do to make her
Jace's POV"Scarlet?" I called as I walked towards the room.What was she still doing inside? Does she really want me to go late for the business party? I barged into the room, frowning my face at----The room was surprisingly empty. What? She went out without my permission? I glanced at my wristwatch. This was past the time she loved going for evening stroll. She should be back by now. Where could she be?Panic rose in my heart. Could she be in danger? I matched angrily from the room and went downstairs. "Have you seen my wife around!?" I yelled at the maid and she shivered in fear."No sir!" She said, bowing slightly.I dialed Anastasia's number but it referred me to voicemail. The panic was shooting through my veins rapidly and it seemed to have settled in my heart. Where could she have gone to and why wasn't she answering her phone. Oh God! I ruffled my head in frustration."Answer the call for christ fucking sake!" I grunted into the phone.I went to the gate to meet the guards.
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
