Chapter forty two: Hear my truth.

I could not risk helping a wanted criminal with a heist. The only thing I had been stealing those days were hearts – metaphorically, of course. Need I mention that I'm too pretty to go to jail – and far too fabulous for a life of crime. I knew for sure that I was not cut out for life behind bars? I mean, orange may be the new black, but it's definitely not my color, darling. Plus, have you seen the food they serve in prison?

On a more serious note, there I was, a successful CEO with everything to lose, being blackmailed by my own sister, a fugitive wanted by the FBI. It was like something out of a twisted crime thriller, only this was my reality. I had worked too hard to build my reputation and my empire from the ground up to throw it all away for a daring heist. I had clawed my way to the top, overcoming countless obstacles and naysayers along the way, and I wasn't about to let my sister's reckless antics derail my hard-earned success.

    Chapter forty three: The tattoo studio.Scott took a u-turn at a very familiar street. At the end of road, I saw a neon sign looming ahead. It was the tattoo studio where I had asked Scott to marry me."Why are we here?" I asked."Just follow my lead," he replied cryptically.We parked in front of the studio, the neon sign casting an ethereal glow over the pavement. Stepping out of the car, I followed Scott as he strode purposefully towards the entrance. "Hey, boss," they greeted him.Butch, the tattoo artist, a burly man with a bushy beard, looked up from his workbench and greeted us with a nod."Back so soon with the wifey?" he asked, his tone gruff yet friendly.Scott flashed him a wry grin. "I'm not here for tattoos this time," he said, motioning towards me.He took me to his inner office. The walls were adorned with an eclectic collection of artwork, dominated by nude, obscene paintings of women in provocative poses. The scent of rich tobacco cigarettes hung heavy in the air, min

    ⚠️ Warning: This is for readers 18+Back in my house, as I slipped out of my clothes and into the soft silk of my nightdress, my mind kept circling back to that tense encounter with Scott earlier in his office. It was the first time I had seen that side of him—assertive, calculating, and unyielding. And strangely, it ignited a fire within me that I hadn't expected. As much as I wanted to resist and stick to the marriage contract, I found myself drawn to the raw power he exuded, the way his eyes gleamed with intensity. I realized there was a side to Scott I had never explored, a side that awakened desires I never knew existed. And as I stood there in the dim glow of my bedroom, bathed in the soft light of the moon, I couldn't shake the feeling that I wanted more. I wanted his touch to linger on my skin and ignite a hunger that burned deep within me. I craved the feel of his hands, the heat of his body pressed against mine. It was intoxicating, irresistible.But as much as I yearned fo

I teased, the corners of my lips lifting into a playful smile."How did God create a woman so perfect in every way?" he mused, his fingers tracing a delicate path along my right cheek."I guess we'll never know," I replied, meeting his gaze with a playful wink, knowing that in his eyes, I was indeed perfect.As Scott leaned in, his lips poised to meet mine in a tender morning kiss, I playfully swerved away. With a giggle, I swiftly pulled the sheets up, covering myself completely.

    Chapter forty sixThere was one feeling I loved more than anything in the world. It was a feeling I cherished above all others, that I would do anything to hold onto. No, it wasn't the joy of winning the lottery (though that would be nice). It wasn't the thrill of skydiving or bungee jumping (let's be honest, that's more like heart-stopping terror than love). It wasn't even the satisfaction of finding the last slice of pizza in the fridge at midnight (although that's pretty high up on the list).It was the feeling of being truly understood. The feeling of being seen, not just for the mask I wore or the role I played, but for the person I was at my core. To have someone look into my eyes and see the essence of who I am, to hear my words and understand the thoughts and emotions behind them, that was a feeling unlike any other.I only felt that way in the arms of Scott Sanders, my husband.

    Chapter one:When I walk, my flashy red bottom Gucci high heels click and clack in a manner that demands the attention of everyone, both men and women; students and nerdy professors. I can’t help but chuckle at the sight of the peasants scurrying to catch a glimpse of me. It's like they've never seen a real-life princess before! Oh, the trials and tribulations of being a beacon of fabulousness in a sea of mediocrity. My leather jacket is worth more than the net worth of every single person here, combined. Nobody on this campus is immune to my mysterious charm and presence. Dare I say, those fools are secretly obsessed with me. They may tell you they hate my guts but I can bet you a thousand dollars that those girls pray to God every night to wake up as fabulous as me. That's a prayer even the big man upstairs can't grant, no matter how many "please, please, pleases" they throw at him.

Growing up, I was the target of relentless bullying and ridicule. Day in and day out, I endured the torment of my peers, their mocking laughter etched into my soul like a scar that would never fade.I was the outsider, the easy target for their cruel jests and malicious pranks. They called me names, whispered behind my back, and made me feel like I was worth less than dirt beneath their shoes. I tried to blend into the background, to disappear into the shadows where their taunts couldn't reach me, but no matter how hard I tried, I could never escape their relentless cruelty.For years, I allowed myself to be their punching bag, to shrink beneath the weight of their scorn and disdain. People bullied me, walked all over me and I used to let them. Not anymore. The oppressed has now become the tyrant. I transforme

    Chapter 3Penelope's High Before the Low (Before Grace Turned to Grass)This chapter of my story revolves around an evil girl called Penelope and her wealthy family. It would not be an overstatement to call her the wicked witch of the west. Because that is what she was to me. Now, she’s no more than a mere pauper begging at the sole of my feet. But back then, the sun was shining on her face. She wielded her privilege like a weapon, lashing out at anyone who dared to cross her path. To me, she was nothing more than a petty dictator, a spoiled brat drunk on her own power. But oh, how the mighty have fallen! Now, she grovels at my feet like a beggar. Her once-proud demeanor has been reduced to nothing more than a pathetic whimper. How ironic is it that her riches have turned to rags. The tables have turned, and the sun that once shone so brightly on her face has been eclipsed by the shadow of her own downfall. This was not the case in the year 2019; her reign of terror was still in full

Instead, she offered me a tight-lipped smile, her eyes darting around the room as if searching for something. "Look at this huge ass office for only you. It's way bigger than the tiny apartment we grew up in. Jason, mom, dad, you and me all squeezed together. Do you remember that excuse for a home we lived in?" She said with a bitter laugh."You look... different," I simply stated."Really? Well, not much has changed for me," she said as she sat on my table, instead of the chair like a normal person. "I got a few tattoos, robbed a few banks, got a nipples piercing, pulled some heists, got arrested and sentenced, escaped from prison, died my hair green, robbed a jewelry store, stole some diamonds but I'm still not as rich as you.

Did someone spill a giant bottle of blue paint up there, and now it's just stuck like that? Or maybe it's just Mother Nature's way of saying, "Hey, I like blue, let's make the sky match my favorite color!" And what if the sky decided to change colors one day? Would we all freak out and think the world was ending?The same way, my mind sometimes veers towards darker thoughts. Like why did my sister, Laura, pack her bags and leave us in the dust just for a silly little boyfriend? Was he really worth abandoning her family for? Would she ever come back? Was she even alive or dead? How was she doing?The last time I heard from her was when she sent me a postcard from Greece. People said that she had turned to the life of crime but I refused to believe. She was my sister, my own blood after all. But I saw her face on the FBI's most wanted per

They nodded understandingly and left the room, closing the door behind them.Alone now, I faced him with my emotions guarded. "This isn't really the best time, David.
