ROLLER COASTER AND FIREWORKS “ Are you insane Cole?! You're going to abandon your family and everything you've known just because of some woman?!" My father asked in anger and I scoffed as I turned to him. “ She's not some woman, she's my happiness and I'm going to leave everything just for my happiness because that's the only thing that matters to me," I said, “ This is ridiculous Cole, can you listen to yourself?! How does that sound to you?" He asked, “It sounds like the perfect plan, anything that gives me happiness doesn't sound ridiculous to me," I said, “ You'll regret this Cole, if you don't stop all this nonsense, it's a promise," he said, “ Well, till then," I said and without sparing him another glance I walked away. The moment I was outside the house I was slapped with the cold night air and I couldn't help but close my eyes. I knew that things would've been easy but I didn't expect my dad to take it this far. I walked to the car where Anna and my Mom were waiting
PASSION AND PROMISES We left the amusement park as we returned to my penthouse. I opened the door and we both walked in and the moment the door closed I pushed her against the wall as I claimed her lips. Her fingers went into my hair as she pulled me down for more. I couldn't wait anymore. I carried her bridal style as I walked to the bed then I gently dropped her on the bed as I climbed on her and claimed her lips again. I kissed her like there was no tomorrow showing her just how much she means to me. Her legs wrapped around me as she pushed me closer and I groaned. “ My woman," I whispered as she sat up slowly and my hand went behind the dress she was wearing and zipped it down. I kissed down her neck as I brought out my tongue biting and licking her neck as she moaned, fisting the sheet tightly. “ Cole," she whispered as her breathing increased, “ My woman, my love, my all, I'm going to worship this body, by the time I'm done with you, you're going to realize that you'r
THE PROPOSAL “ Cole, I can't think straight when you're still inside me, what did you just say?" she asked and I smiled. I decided to tease her a little. I moved and she moaned but before she could enjoy the feeling I pulled out. “ Cole," she complained as she hit my shoulder and I dropped a light kiss on her lips. “ Will you marry me Anna?" I asked, repeating what I just said. “ I know you're going to think I'm joking and I'm just rushing things because of what's happening with my father and all but that's not it, I've been thinking about this from the day you stepped into my office.” I said looking straight into her eyes. “That morning when I woke up and didn't see you I was about to start my search but then you walked into my office, right back into my life. Anna, I walk with it everyday not being bold enough to give it to you," God, she was just so beautiful . “ Walk with what?" she whispered, “ The ring, you don't know how much I imagine spending my life with you everyda
SHOWING OFF HER MANWe spent the entire Sunday indoors and Cole couldn't get enough of me, any little thing I did was a turn on for him. He was just that attached.Monday came and as much as he tried to convince me that we should skip work, I refused to listen. “ For the hundredth time Cole, stop," I groaned as I removed his hand from around my waist. I've been trying to get dressed for work but each time he'd come from behind and start kissing my neck making me confused if I wanted to get dressed or take off the clothes.“ Fine, don't be a party spoiler," he said and I turned to him with a glare and he raised his hand in surrender before making a zipping motion on his lips.I finally got dressed in a navy blue dress suit with a touch of white as I applied lipstick. My hair was already tied up in a messy bun, courtesy of my handsome fiance. Didn't even know he could do that. “ You look fabulous," he said and I did a little curtsy as he laughed." Let's get going,” he said. He held
THE FIGHT I had already made sure that everything for the meeting room was set and it was left with just a few minutes and the meeting was going to start. I don't know why fate set me up like this, was it not just a few days ago that I saw Cole's father and it didn't end on a good note. Now I had to see him in just a few hours and I was already engaged to his son. I stood up as I heard Cole's office door open and then I quickly walk out of my office. “ Are you ready?" he asked and I nodded as he took my hand and we walked to the elevator. He opened the elevator door and we both walked in as we patiently waited for it to reach the meeting room. The elevator reached too soon and I couldn't help but take a breath in just to calm myself down. “ Everything is going to be fine," Cole said and I nodded before he opened the door and we both walked in. It was just my luck that his dad was the first person I happened to lock eyes with. Cole walked to his seat and I followed him as I
GOLDDIGGER “ Anna!" I shouted in fear as I went on my knee and lifted her head and then placed it on my lap. This wasn't supposed to happen but thanks to my dad I ended up hitting my woman.“ This is your fault Dad, I swear…” I stopped myself from saying anything as I tried to wake Anna, I didn't want to think anything negative." Jerry, what's wrong with you? Why are you doing this to this poor child? Can't you just allow these children to be happy? They love each other, is that so hard to see?” My Mom asked, clearly angry and frustrated at the situation.“ I can't allow anyone who is just after my son's money to marry him, and she's making my son act crazy, he was about to hit his own father," he still dared to say,I didn't even bother answering him. My entire focus was on Anna as she began to stir. She groaned as her hand went to the back of her head and then she slowly peeled her eyes open “ Baby, you're fine, there's no blood, don't worry," I said as I hugged her, if anything
MEETING HIS FRIENDSWe were currently seated at a restaurant with Cole and some of his friends, I don't think I've actually met his friends before, well aside Nathan who happens to be his brother too.They were nice but the female in the group looked at me strangely especially when Cole introduced me as his fiancee, it was like she didn't like the news or she wanted Cole to consult her before engaging a girl, either ways I didn't care.“ I really can't believe Cole is engaged,..." The girl, was it Amanda or Ame? said as she turned to look at me and I knew she was soon going to start trouble.“ Although she's not the type of girl I envisioned that he'd be getting married to," she said with a scowl.“ Amanda," one of the guys said in warning as he nudged her.“ What type of woman did you envision him to spend his life with?" I asked, deciding to play her game and the guys just watched us, including Cole.“ I don't know, someone better," she said with a shrug," When you say better, do y
HIS BROTHER'S DEATH I saw the way his hand clenched on the steering wheel and I instantly knew I shouldn't have asked the question.“ I'm sorry baby, you don't have to answer," I said as I touched his hand and he loosened up a bit.The car became quiet and I felt bad for bringing the topic up at this time but it's just that his dad made me want to know how the accident happened, maybe he blames Cole for something that's why he's just the way he is. The car was quiet until Cole stopped in front of my gate.“ Good night love, please don't be mad,” I said as I kissed his cheek and was about to open the door and go out but his hand stopped me.“ He blames me, he blames me for William's death," he said and I turned to him. " Babe,” I said with a sigh as I moved closer to him and hugged him. “ One night my brother came back home looking devastated and heartbroken, I asked him what the problem was and he told me he had a fight with his girlfriend, she was obviously cheating on him with a
JUSTICE “ Tag, you're it," Andrew or should I say Sammy hit his father as he ran away and Cole chased after him trying to tap him.I couldn't help but laugh at his little laugh, it was filled with so much joy. Cole ran to me and I dodged taking the route my son took and he laughed, turning back to see if his father was close.“ Got you,” Cole said as he caught Andrew." No, no,” Andrew laughed as he tried to get away from his father." Mummy to the rescue, tag, you're it,” I said as I touched Cole, making him our target as Andrew and I started running after him.“ I'll get you daddy, mummy go that way,” Andrew said as we both blocked Cole and tackled him and he fell to the ground laughing." Okay you both win,” he said as we both fell to the ground on each side of him laughing." Sam baby,” Cole suddenly called as Andrew turned him smiling." Yes Daddy,” he said," How would you feel about Anna being your mom?” he asked," Cole,” I warned, I don't know if this was the right time. I
REUNION “ I really don't know how to feel about this, should I say I'm jealous?" Liam said as he held my hand and I sighed." I'm sorry Liam, I'm…"“ Hey, there's nothing to be sorry about, you told me right from time, I was just hopeful. I can't stop you from being happy. It pains me that I'm not the one you chose but if you're happy, I'm happy, you finally get the family you've wanted. If I'm not happy for you, what type of a person would that make me? I wish that you never get to cry again, you now know your son, you're with the father of your child who you love. As much as I hate to say this, the guy is crazy about you and I'm sure he'll protect you," he said and I couldn't help but smile. “ You're the best person I've met Liam, you're so understanding and caring, I promise you that you'll find a woman who deserves your love, believe me," I said and he nodded as he took my hand and dropped a kiss on it." Thank you Anna, this means a lot,” he said and I smiled." I'll return to
CONFESSIONS AND FORGIVENESS As soon as I heard that she was awake I practically ran out of the house as I got into the car.I drove out of the house, heading straight to the hospital as I clenched my hands on the steering wheel, impatience filling me.I got to the hospital as I parked the car and ran into the building. I stopped at her room door trying to compose myself before I knocked.I quietly opened the door and walked in as everyone turned to me but the only eyes that caught my attention were her beautiful eyes.Those brown eyes that have haunted me for years.“ Hey," I greeted as the Liam guy bent to her and kissed her cheeks before walking out of the room, her assistant following.“ I'm glad you're awake," I said, not knowing what else to say. " Thank you for saving me,” she said. She didn't have to thank me for anything, I'd do anything for her." Why did you do it?" She suddenly asked and I looked at her in confusion.“ Anna, I'd do it all over again, I can't see you in tr
THE LIFEBLOOD OF SACRIFICE “ We had to flush her blood to take off the poison because it was just too much and taking off blood meant we had to give her more blood but the problem now is we're out of blood that matches hers,”“ You can take mine!" The three of us said at the same time.“ As long as it matches, it would be to her advantage if we can get a donation from all three of you," the doctor said. " What are we waiting for? Let's go,” her assistant said in impatience as she followed the doctor first while I just leaned on the wall waiting." You can't blame me for something I didn't know. You can't imagine how I feel right now knowing that my son is the son the woman I love has been looking for for over four years, you don't know what I've been through so you don't have the right to judge me. You don't know what I had to endure for the past four years. I'm not telling you this for you to like me, I'm letting you know that you have to know someone's story before you conclude wh
BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH I can't die, not when I have a chance of seeing my son. Not now.She stood up with the syringe in her hand as she flicked the tip and looked at me with a sinister smile.“ I've been waiting for this part, she's going to know how it feels like to have needles constantly being pierced into you," Derick said, looking at me with excitement.“ You see this little needle, I'm going to inject it into you nice and slow and you're going to die nice and slow, nobody will know it's me, and Cole will be mine and mine alone and as for your son, he's going to call me mom for the rest of his life," she said as she started walking towards me and I shook my head, struggling to be free.“ If I were you, I'd keep calm or this might cut a vein and you'll just bleed to death, either way it works for me,” she said as she bent to my neck and I tried to move back but I couldn't. “ Enjoy," she whispered before she stabbed the needle into my neck and I felt the substance swim inside my
SHADOWS OF THE PAST “ Sam! Sam!" I called as I ran into the house like a man whose house had been set on fire.“ Sam!” I called as I ran upstairs to his room but he wasn't inside." Martha! Martha! Where's Sam?” I asked his nanny and she looked at me in confusion." He's in the garden, his grandpa came to see him,” I didn't wait a second, I was already running towards the garden and I couldn't help but breathe in relief when I heard his laughter.He was alright. But anger immediately boiled in my body when I remembered the reason why all this happened in the first place was here in my house." Sam!” I called as I ran to my son and hugged him," You're okay, you're doing okay, let's go,” I said as I took his hand and he turned to look at his grandfather." Dad, I want to play with Grandpa a little," he said as I carried him.“ Maybe some other time," I said and without sparing my dad a glance I walked into the house." Take care of him, make sure nobody takes him, if anything happens
SECRETS UNCOVERED Although I couldn't see his face, I couldn't mistake the voice. How could he have a hand in this? I thought…I thought. I was just so fucking confused.“ I thought you told me you changed? Then why are you here?" I asked and he laughed, a crazed type of laughter, like someone who has lost it.“ You thought I changed, you're so funny Anna, after what you did to me?” he said as he moved closer to me and I caught a little glimpse of his face, despite the darkness.“ You ruined my life," he said, “ I did no such thing," I said as I struggled on the chair. " Really, you did nothing, are you fucking forgetting the fact that I was sent to a mental asylum because of you?” he asked in a dangerous voice that sent shivers down my spine." You brought it upon yourself, that was the right place for you because you were fucking crazy," I said and he laughed. " I'm going to show you crazy,” he said as he started walking towards me." Stay where you are Derick don't fucking come
THE TRUTH “ What did you just say?" I asked but he pointed at the file I was holding.“ Spent a lot of money to get that because she fucking paid a lot to have their mouth shut and have them do what she wants. I don't know why Anna would mix with people like this," I pretended not to hear those words as I slowly opened the file.My heart was pounding in my chest afraid of the truth I'd find in there.I brought out the medical report which has Mirabel's name and every single record about her as I started going through them.My breath caught in my throat when I reached where it said she couldn't have a child because of her damaged womb. Then how come Sammy?But she was pregnant, I saw her baby bump, she did all the things pregnant women did. Was that…was that all an act?No, no, it can't be, could it.I was fucking confused.And Anna.“ Now you know, right? So where's she?” he asked me and I came back to my senses.If he was looking for Anna and she wasn't with me with nor have he seen
FIST TALK “ I thought you were happily married, why do you look so scared?" I asked her as calmly as I could and she blinked before she sat down in front of me. That's so rude she didn't even ask for my permission.“ Listen up you bitch, Cole and I have been happily married for four years and we have a son, he loves me, do you hear that? He loves our son and not even a stupid slut like you can break our family." she said and I looked at her with a raised brow. “ If he's so in love with you you don't need to warn me, besides I'm not interested in your man, stop being dramatic and get out of my sight, I came here to eat not listen to your pathetic voice," I said and she scoffed as she folded her hands glaring at me. “ If you say so, if I see you anywhere near Cole or my child, you'll regret knowing me, I bet you," she said before she stood up and left.Once a bitch, always a bitch.“ I'm sorry ma'am, it took a little time to get ready," the waitress said as she dropped my food. It wa
