"I am all ears," Max replied.

Pointing to the chair opposite mine, I offered him a seat and sat down too.

"Mr Anderson, I assure you that I'm not asking for too much," I began. "My first condition is that there will be no sexual activity or extreme intimacy between us until I get to know you better."

I saw him furrow his brows but continued anyway, "Secondly, we will live separately as I intend for us to keep our marital relationship a secret since I am still your employee. We will reveal our relationship to the public when I am ready.

Thirdly, your soon-to-be ex, whom I believe is named Stacy; keep her away from me. The decision to jilt her and get married to me is entirely yours, hence, she is not to approach me, under any circumstances to cause a scene about your breakup.

These are my conditions. If you can agree to them all, then we can get married."

He scoffed, "Are you for real? Every other thing you have said is understandable but prohibiting sex? What exactly are we getti

    JADE"Forgive my manners," Henry gushed when I stared at him silently. I could tell he didn't recognize me from the way he stared at me as though he wanted to eat me up. "Like Max, does he find me familiar?" I wondered.He reached out his hand for a handshake and said proudly, "My name is Henry and I am the manager of this Pizzeria."I stared at his hand and said inwardly, "Perhaps, this is my opportunity to get the revenge I have always wanted."I shook his hand and smiled, "My name is Daisy and it's a pleasure to meet you, Henry.""Such a beautiful name....I must admit that you are exceptionally beautiful, Daisy." He told me.I didn't want to waste my valuable time chatting with him so, I quickly gave him my card and said with a wink, "Call me sometime.""I definitely will," he replied as I flashed him a smile and walked away.When I got into my car, my cheeks began to hurt from forcing myself to smile. I stared at Henry from where I sat and said, "If you dare to call me Henry, I w

    JADEI arrived at the venue Max had picked out for our lunch date and saw that he was already waiting for me.He had changed into a grey suit and I didn't know why. Nevertheless, he looked as dashing as he did in the morning."I see you've reserved the entire restaurant," I remarked when I realized we were the only customers present.He smiled, "Yes I did. You are special to me and this is just one of the many ways I intend to let you know."I scoffed, "Aren't you just trying to stop gossip from spreading?"He smiled, "Don't you want that too?"I nodded, "Fair enough. Now let's get to the main reason why we are here. Tell me about your past, I mean your relationships, number of children and all that. I don't want any surprises after we get married.""There's actually not much to tell," he replied. "My father has always been wealthy, everyone knows that. I grew up without my mom and when I was in my twenties, I met Stacy, fell in love with her and we had a daughter together.That pretty

    JADEMax and I left the restaurant after having lunch and agreeing to get married the next day.As we approached our different cars, I said, "Max, hold on. I promised my girls I would take them to the park tomorrow. Since we'll become a family by tomorrow, can you bring your daughter to the park?I want to get to know her better since I would be her stepmother. My daughters would also be happy to get a new friend and sister."He hesitated, "I don't think that would be possible or ideal."My heart began to race. If I couldn't get access to my daughter, then what was the need for everything I was doing?"I smiled, trying to hide my fear, "Why would it not be possible or ideal?""Her mom.....she might not be comfortable with her daughter spending time with the woman who took her place." He explained."But isn't Aurora your daughter as well?" I asked, trying to hide the irritation I felt because he wouldn't stop referring to my daughter as Stacy's."Once we get married tomorrow, it would m

    JADEI chuckled, "Why do you suddenly look so glum?"He scoffed, "Glum? What do you take me for, Daisy?""Come on, Max," I spoke softly. "We are married now, so you need to watch how you speak to your wife. I told you my terms from the very beginning so don't act surprised.Throwing a party without telling me in advance, don't do things like that."He scoffed, "Wow! I didn't think being married to you would be this difficult.""Don't be ridiculous," I replied. "I still don't know you that well, let's give it a few months. I'll say within three months.""Three months?!" He exclaimed. At this point, I was grateful we were the only ones left on the beach."Daisy, what married couple waits for three months before having sex?" He asked.I chuckled, "Don't misunderstand me, darling. I don't want to feel pressured in this marriage. Give me time to get to know you better, get used to you, and fall in love with you. I promise that everything else will fall into place after that."He regarded m

Phyna asked when I began to apply makeup to their faces to alter their looks.I sighed, "I know I already dyed your hair and dressed you up like girls but you are meeting your sister today. Remember she looks a lot like both of you. We can't have anyone figure out that you are both related because it will ruin our plans, okay?"We arrived at the park thirty minutes before the time and as the minutes wore on, my heartbeats became faster.There were other children at the park so I said to Phyna and Ella, "You guys should start playing for now.""But we want to see our sister first," Ella protested."Listen to me, if you stand here and keep waiting, Aurora's nanny might get suspicious if she arrives.

    MAXI was upset and frustrated. I drove back to my company, got into my office, and slammed the door shut.Picking up a few unwanted documents on my table, I scrunched them with my hands as I gritted my teeth, "How dare you, Daisy?"It was obvious that she was taking me for granted. She knew from the start that all I wanted was a taste of what she had between her legs so she came up with the trap of marriage.Fortunately for me, it was a fake wedding, otherwise, I would have been the one on the losing end. First, "I want to get to know you better."Next, "Let's give it three months."And now, "I want to fall in love with you first."The more I mimicked her the more upset I got. "Does she think I am a fool or someone she can toss around?"I took my seat and sighed, "There hasn't been a woman I have wanted in my bed that I did not have. I have the wealth and the looks so, Daisy, you wouldn't be the first."I hated attachments and only had sex with women once. No matter how beautiful or

Just as Agatha had said, she looked very happy and was playing with two girls whom I assumed were Daisy's daughters.Agatha and Daisy both sat down, staring at the children with smiles on their faces.Looking at Daisy smiling, I became mesmerized. I suddenly came up with an idea to get what I wanted and smiled.When I began to approach Daisy, her two daughters who seemed to have noticed me, suddenly exclaimed, "Daddy!" And began running.At first, I thought they were running to someone else and looked around for a sign of their father, already feeling jealous that he was so close to Daisy.While looking around, I felt both my legs being held and looked down to see Daisy's daughters both holding my legs and calling me daddy.Aurora stood in the distance, staring at us with a look of confusion on her face.I smiled at her and gestured for her to come close.

I didn't know how low he had sunk over the years so I worried about the extent he would go just to have his way with me.Meanwhile, I was still shaken up by what had happened earlier. The conversation Agatha and I had shared was still fresh in my mind. I had done everything possible to ensure that no one recognized me but she did.When she had first called me by my real name, I had been so shocked that I didn't know how to respond. Nevertheless, she had said, "It's fine Jade, you can trust that your secret is safe with me."As minutes rolled by, I stared at her, my eyes brimming with tears. So many options came into my mind. The foremost was knocking her unconscious and running away with all three children.However, I knew firsthand the consequences of acting in haste. One too many times, I had suffered for doing so and this time, the odds were not in my favor.The only option I had was to solicit her help. Like I did five years ago, I

    TROY After two years, I was back in the Scandinavia, the place that took everything from me. I had rented the whole beach for the evening because I wanted to be alone. I stood by my once favorite beach in Oslo and closed my eyes as memories from the past flooded my mind; Her beautiful smile, and the warmth of her body, pressed against mine as we stared at the stars together. Aislinn was everything to me until she was snatched away so cruelly. I opened my eyes and stared at the water, hoping its calmness would soothe my turbulent heart. All of a sudden, something caught my attention. Floating and approaching from a distance, I tried to make out what it was. I took a few steps closer, dipping my legs into the water. I gasped when I realized it was a person; a woman, and judging by the way she looked, I knew she was dead. I turned and wanted to leave but a question struck my mind; what if she wasn't dead? What if Aislinn was in a similar situation and needed help? Would I have

    MARIANNE If it weren't for the date and time stamp on the video, I would have thought Paula was lying to me. As I watched the video, everything began to piece together in my head. I recalled when Tony had first approached me for a relationship. I had refused his advances, especially since I had just clocked eighteen, but Britney kept encouraging me to give him a chance, claiming we were perfect for each other and would be together forever. Back then, I was amazed at how Tony and I had the same tastes, interests, and even fashion sense. I believed he was truly destined for me. Only after Paula's revelation did I realize that Britney had planted him in my life and told him about my likes and dislikes. No wonder he seemed so perfect in my eyes and I ended up falling in love with him. They deceived me for so long and plotted my downfall. The false testimonies from my secretary and Tony's sister finally made more sense to me. I felt so much anger surge within me and a deep yearn

  • After A One Night Stand    HELL ON EARTH

    MARIANNE Everything felt like a dream. Just like that, I had been condemned for something I never did. My only crime was being too kind and trusting the wrong people. As I was being transported by ship along with a few other prisoners, the judge's words echoed in my ears, "This court finds the accused; Mrs. Tony, guilty of first-degree murder and sentences her to life imprisonment with hard labor in the Norwegian Island Prison. I recalled the triumphant look on Britney's face as I was being taken away and could not understand what I ever did wrong to her. When I met her so many years ago, I had just finished high school. Being the daughter of the richest man in the city, I lived in affluence as opposed to her who was struggling to get by. I saw her working as a waiter at a party and took her side when a guest treated her disrespectfully. We got close from that night and I got to find out that she had no family. She was an orphan who had to work from a very young age just to

  • After A One Night Stand    NOT GUILTY

    MARIANNE I sighed in relief as I thanked Britney repeatedly. "There's no need to thank me," she expressed. "You are my best friend and I will do anything for you." The next morning, just as my lawyer had promised, I was arraigned before a judge. I had been restless throughout the night as it was my first time being in a cell. I tried not to cry because I knew it wouldn't help my situation. I convinced myself that I was just unfortunate. I never should have married Tony. After the judge questioned me, I took a plea of not guilty. My attorney didn't seem pleased by that but I didn't care. No one was going to make me admit to something I never did. Since it was my first appearance, I expected that I would be granted bail and allowed to show up in court from the comfort of my home during the preliminary hearings. I planned to get the best lawyer for myself once I was released on bail and got access to my phone. However, nothing like that happened. The judge allowed a ten minut

    MARIANNE At the police station, I was cuffed and kept in a dimly lit room with four chairs, one table, and a window. I was exhausted and my eyes were puffy from crying. Even though Tony cheated on me, he was the love of my life and I could not believe he was no more. In a flash, I had become a widow; the youngest I knew because I had just turned twenty, a month ago. The three policemen sat in front of me, questioning me as though I were a common criminal. "Don't you know who I am?" I asked. "I own foundations, charity organizations, and free hospitals. I help people, not hurt them. No matter what, I could never murder a man I loved with my life." "Stop beating around the bush and answer the damn question!" One of the policemen yelled at me, slapping his palms on the table. I didn't have to be a police officer or a lawyer to know that what the men were doing was not standard procedure. They were biased toward me and I had no idea why. "I won't speak any more until my lawye

    MARIANNE I stepped on my brake pedal and gave myself a minute to catch my breath. My hands were shivering and I felt chilled to the bone. I still could not believe what I had just seen. I opened my phone and watched for the umpteenth time, the pornographic video that had been sent to me anonymously. My husband of almost two years was in bed, having sex with a woman that wasn't me. His face was revealed in the video, while hers was concealed. The only thing I could make of the woman was her slender wrist and the gold bracelet around it. It seemed oddly familiar but I could not remember where I had seen it. For two years, I believed my marriage was the best in the world because my husband, Tony adored me and worshipped the ground I walked on. I was the richest woman in the city and my company, RAY INDUSTRIES was the number one in the country, yet, my happiest moments were the ones spent with my husband. That was how much I loved him. How could he betray my trust? Hands still

    In the morning, Ethan woke Cila up from his bed and calmly asked her to leave his bedroom and stay away from it. As she walked out of the room, she stood by the door, staring at Ethan who was watching her leave. She wished she could turn back the hands of time. If she hadn’t tried to take Laura’s place and planned for Laura to catch them in the act, Ethan would still be meeting her behind Laura’s back. She wouldn’t feel so alone. She would still have him—if only she hadn’t been so greedy for more. She had no clue Ethan was secretly seeing Laura again. He came home early, spent most of his free time with her. Little did she know, Ethan had been stealing moments with Laura during their lunch breaks, meeting at the small apartment he had rented temporarily for her.

    "Shh......," Byron shushed Laura as he moved closer to her, cupping her face and attempting to kiss her once more. This time, however, he was met with a sharp slap across his face. The sting of it made him pause, his hand instinctively reaching for his cheek as he glared at her. "So, you’d rather sit here, pining away for a man who’s off fucking your best friend, instead of giving me a chance to make you happy?" he spat, his voice dripping with bitterness. "You know what, Laura? You deserve everything that’s happening to you. You’re foolish, indecisive, and weak. You deserve to be ditched by your husband and betrayed by your so-called best friend." The words cut through Laura like a blade, each one more painful than the last. Byron stormed out, slamming the door behind him. Laura remained standing, her legs suddenly too weak to hold her up. She sank to the floor, the weight of his words pressing down on her. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she sobbed uncontrollably. "Do I reall
