An Ineffable Temptation Chapter 36
“Allen, wake up.” My eyes fluttered open to the sight of Vincent shaking my unconscious body. I must have fallen asleep, a blanket was draped over my form, and my head was supported by a pillow. “What’s wrong?” I asked confused. When I noticed his worried expression, I came to realize that today wasn’t an ordinary day. It was the third day of Cheryl in the hospital. I threw the blanket off me in seconds, and rushed to the door. “Wait, Cheryl has just woken up.” He said just as I was about to reach for the door-knob. I halted in my steps. I had anticipated this moment for a long time that I had completely forgotten how I was going to react. “Let’s go.” I grabbed my car keys that were abandoned on the dressing table, adjusted my collar, ruffled my hair and walked out with Vincent trailing behind me. “Where’s Aunt Lucy?” I questioned noticing the unusually eerie environment. Rosa came out of the kitchen looking distorted, “She has gone out.” She bowed and went back in. Judging from

Allen’s POV It had been a week since the incident. When I’m out of the house I make sure to check up on Cheryl every few hours. Aunt Lucy stays with her on days when she is alone. Everyone’s worried one way or the other. “Thinking about your love, I see.” Vincent twirled in his chair. He kept the booklet he was going through, poured coffee from the machine and sat right back. “What are you doing here again?” I raised an eyebrow. He has been following me to work for three days straight. He would sit in the usual guest chairs and bug me all day. “I’m here to accompany you. You don’t seem to complain until now.” That would be because he was silent until few minutes ago. For someone that talks all the time, he looked like something’s bothering me. “What’s up?” I closed the MacBook and kept it aside. Vincent lowered his gaze and fondled with his fingers. I stifled a laugh. Seeing him nervous was something I never thought I would. “I’m meeting her parents this weekend.” Who would have

Ever since I was born, it had always been the sequence of events; getting punished daily for the petty mistakes I made. Margaret said I’m non-complaint and to make sure I stayed out of trouble she had to discipline me. Juliet and I were never alike. She preferred to stay in the shadows of Margaret—since she claimed that I had no privilege to refer to her as a mom—while I do things my own way. So far, that had gotten me into more troubles than I can count. I paused my movement on the broom, the tiled floor looking anew. I could hear footsteps approaching. I steadied myself getting ready for Margaret’s wraths and if I were unlucky, a few strokes of cane.Before I could make a run for the door, Margaret stomped in with two whips in hand and Juliet trailing behind her clenching the hem of her dress with a barbarous glare. Margaret looked around, heaved a sigh and uttered with potency. “How many times have I told you not to defy my orders? I sheltered you, took care of you when you wer

My punishment season ended when Margaret received a phone call. I had never been thankful for Juliet like I did at the moment. Margaret had withdrawn her hold on the whip, she quickly collected the device from Juliet and walked away.I knew better than to stay sprawled on the floor despite the bruises and soreness that were excruciating as ever. I sauntered to the kitchen in an attempt to make lunch.I looked around the sparkling tidy environment. I loved cooking, cutting, chopping ingredients into chunks was the best part of my day. The counter was wiped clean, rugs and kitchen equipment and tools neatly set up. Juliet littered the kitchen whenever she was in. It was my job to keep everything in check. We might not be high-class business owners but we had enough to take care of the family and for a maid as well. I had made the mistake of suggesting Margaret hire someone so I could rest but it ended in me having scars all over my body and Margaret yelling at me all day.I got to wor

Indiana and Grace stood docilely by the door.My hold on the doorknob intensified, I was afraid to look behind me to Margaret who sat gracefully asking at intervals who was there. I stepped down shielding my best friends from her view. Margaret had warned me against bringing intruders into her household—and by intruders she meant my two best friends. “What are you guys doing here?” I whispered-yelled. I closed the door behind me. “We decided to visit you, since you know—” Indiana started.I knew I was a shitty best friend. I rarely hung out with my friends. Margaret was to blame for it, she made sure I had no time to spare. I go to bed late everyday and wake up early in the morning to continue with the house chores. Grace was looking down. She was the sensitive one out of us all. I couldn’t help but be guilty.“This is unfair,” Grace whispered. I looked behind. Somehow we were all waiting for Margaret to emerge behind the sealed doors. “We don’t hang out anymore because of your

Margaret called for me with a flicker of her hands. I took a hold of the dishes and placed it at the center of the table. Allen’s eyes were still on me, his presence was making me awfully uncomfortable. Yet, I ignored his stares and poured the elderly man—probably his father—wine. “Sister,” she announced. Her eyes were looking so intensely at me that I squinched. I wasn’t surprised that I was acknowlged. After all, father was present and any form of degrading would only cause trouble to Margaret and Juliet. Juliet took Margaret’s pampering tendencies towards her for granted. She showed it off whenever she got the chance to do so. In all this, I never blamed her for taking our parent’s attention.She raised her head high and elegantly sat watching intently at Allen. She would nudge him and point at a random dish. Allen would nod without saying a word. I rarely saw dad, he was always travelling abroad dealing with one business or the other to earn a livelihood. Yet, he never got the

Margaret dismissed me for the night. I should be grateful that I was left off the hook, but I couldn’t shake the suspicious glare Juliet sent my way. It was a warning to stay away from Allen. We all knew Allen wouldn’t settle for anything less as me. Juliet was up to his standards, she fit all the requirements to stay beside him. I lied on the soft bed, my back was hurting from the beatings and standing while they ate. I felt bad for declining father’s offer to join them, at least I could’ve eaten something. My stomach growled, I pressed a hands suppressing it. The guest were probably downstairs or gone, I didn’t know what time it was. I had no clocks on the wall or a phone to look at. It had been a few minutes not sure but I suddenly felt thirsty and decided to stroll to the kitchen. The dinning room was empty, which meant the guests had called it a night. As for Margaret and Juliet I had no idea where they were but I hopped they were asleep. I looked at Juliet’s picture that

It wasn’t a surprise that Juliet would take a liking to Allen at the first meeting, but the request for marriage took me off guard. My hand shook and I did all I could to stay balanced, and hidden from their view.Juliet knelt down before Margaret sobbing while the latter comforted her by running her hands through her hair. They were waiting for father who after the departure of our honorable guests had taken the pleasure to escort them out. My eyes flickered between Margaret and Juliet. I couldn’t comprehend why I felt so disappointed when Juliet declared her interest in Allen. Those glances he stole my way during dinner was nothing, I was a nobody and he couldn’t possibly fancy me. Juliet had everything he desired in a woman, yet I couldn’t help the jealously in me. It was the first time that someone had taken the time to look at me with keen interest. Father appeared disheveled, his tie was loosened and it looked like he would pass out any minute from fatigue. We were all wa

Allen Gareth’s POVVincent’s hold on the steering wheel intensified. We were driving above the speed limit but none of us seemed to notice. Twice, he received a phone call, probably from Indiana. “She is poisoned.” He told me after awhile. That didn’t help much with the agitation. Cheryl was hurt when I took my eyes off her for a few minutes. How could I live with myself after that? My phone rang when we were at a traffic. I answered solemnly, “Hi.” Aunt Lucy answered. “Where are you? The situation is critical.” Her voice was rough and croaky which indicated that she had been crying. Aunt Lucy hardly ever showed any emotion apart from irritation and hatred. She is one to keep things to herself, that will be why she has no friends and relatives except for Dad. “We are on our way. I hope Cheryl would be okay. What are the doctors saying?” I tapped my feet trying to distract myself from thinking and imagining different scenarios. I couldn’t concentrate.We made it to the hospital at
An Ineffable Temptation Chapter 34
Allen Ian’s POV I had seized my visits to the club. Being married changes a lot of things. You suddenly become mature and cautious. Of course Vincent found it amusing and wouldn’t shut up about it one bit. “Come one, one drink!” He bugged me for the umpteenth time that evening. I threw the stacks of paper across the desk, strolled towards him in anger, and grab him by the collar. “I swear to God, if you try to persuade me in going with you one more time, I will deal with you.” I pointed a middle finger at him for dramatic effect.“One drink bro. One drink!” He raised the empty abandoned glass to prove a point. We all knew we weren’t going to have only a drink. I had been in this situation before, Vincent persisting until I gave up. We always ended up drunk most times, completely spent. “I said no. I have paperwork’s to take care of.” I needed to clear up my schedule so I could spend more time with Cheryl. It’s a bad strategy considering the fact that we just got married one month ag

Cheryl Gareth His hand roamed my body as he brought me closer. The kiss intensified. My hands were everywhere, I didn’t know what to do with them. I rubbed my hands against his toned chest. We pulled away gasping for air. Allen lifted my chins with his wet hands. “I’m not going to do anything without your consent.” Allen was everything I ever wanted in a man. He is gentle, understanding and cocky. Indiana was rooting for us and I would almost imagine her overdramatic voice when I tell her. “Do you plan on hugging me all night?” way to ruin a moment. I let go of him, and rushed to the bedroom. I got under the covers in case he came back early. I hadn’t done the deed yet but I was a blushing mess. Allen came out from the closet with his hair dripping. He wore a grey shirt and a trouser. I tried hard not to stare at him too much. He was struggling with his hair. He used a towel to try and drain the water but it wasn’t working. I stifled a laugh and unconsciously went over to help

Cheryl GarethIndiana made wearing a lingerie sound so easy. She hung up on the phone, saying she would sleep. The man on her couch had probably woken up and she wanted to flee. I breathed heavenly. I held the piece of red lingerie to my boobs and like the three other times I just kept it on the counter. “You can do this.” I cheered myself on. I looked myself in the mirror and with the courage I could muster I slid my thin legs into the panties. People painted getting naked as easy and normal but it wasn’t. You go to the beach and you see almost everyone naked. I support women confidents trust me, but some people like Indiana makes it sound so simple. When I finally got the lingerie on. I draped a rope over it and left for the room. It was vacant, which meant Allen wasn’t home yet. I sat on the bed and cursed the day I met Indiana. How dare she leave me on hold while she enjoyed herself? She knew I was feeble to deal with this on myself. I had never watched porn, I don’t even kno
An Ineffable Temptation Chapter 31
Cheryl’s POVMy new home was located in the outskirt city of LA. The gates were tall and dark guarding the mystery that laid ahead. They were two men dressed in black and sunglasses that were responsible for the safety of the compound. As the car pulled into the magnificent house I would refer to as home in the upcoming years I couldn’t help but stare at the vast field that was separated by iron gates at the far end of the compound. It had all different varieties of flowers and a large oak tree at the center. Allen tucked a strand of hair that escaped from my bun and whispered, “You would love the garden.” It wasn’t as gorgeous and bigger than the one back at his father’s house but it sure was beautiful. I pictured myself coming out early in the morning and sitting on the benches observing the plants and the birds that had come to visit. I would stay there till sunset as well, because there’s no better view than the one from there. Allen opened the door and escorted me in. There w

Cheryl’s POV“How dare she? If only Jed allowed me to deal with her. I can’t believe she wanted to ruin your special day.” Indiana paced in circles. The reception had taken place two hours ago. Vincent and Jed were on edge, they had been on the lookout after Juliet was escorted outside. “Thankfully no paparazzi was present.” Grace took a bite of her cake. This was her third plate. When Indiana pointed out how much she was overfeeding she answered by saying that wedding cakes’ taste better than any other cake. “I hope you’re okay, Cheryl?” Stephanie patted my shoulder in concern. Justin and she would be on their way to the hospital in an hour. I should be asking her that. “How are you doing?” she stepped out to the backyard and I followed her. She didn’t want the others to know about it yet. “I’m doing okay. I think I’m ready to tell him.” She sighed experastly. Her hands unconsciously went to her bump an act she had been doing a lot. It was obvious that she loved the baby uncondi
An Ineffable Temptation Chapter 29
Allen’s POVThe boys and I decided to do something a little unique than the last hangout we did two years ago in Justin’s honor. The idea was to enjoy the moment as much as we could. And we decided that camping would do. We didn’t want to go out to the wild so we opted to do it in Vincent’s backyard. Lucinda went to bed early, we had the house to ourselves. “Keep it over here.” Vincent wanted the tents to be in the direction of the moon. “Come do it yourself.” Jed dropped the tent on the ground and jogged back to where the rest of us were sitting by the gigantic oak tree. “Come on man, you know I can’t do this.” Vincent was out of breath as he joined us. It was unbelievable when you think of it; my marriage that is. We all bet Jed was going to be the first among us to tie the knot. He was serious, and responsible. “You know, I had never thought you would get married this soon. I mean you have a different girl in your arms almost every day.” Justin said what was on my mind. Th
