"Don't waste your time doing those." I heard his deep voice behind me as l accidentally dropped the spoon in my hand. "I-I wanted to make you breakfast." I replied in a timid voice, a little higher than a whisper. "I'm not hungry." He grumbled as he walked past me to settle on a stool. "Okay." I mumbled as I stood there like a statue not knowing what to do next. "You look hot in that dress." He smirked as he poured some scotch into a glass cup before taking a sip. "it's a pity I don't see you as a woman." "what do you see me as then?" | asked as I blinked away the tears forming in my eyes. "Just a pet." he shrugged. "not my fault your parents sold you to me." "What are you talking about? I'm your wife." I say as l glared at him. "Really? who told you that?" "My parents told me you loved me that was why you married me." My voice broke as I remembered how my parents convinced me into agreeing to our marriage. "Well, your parents lied." *************** Priscilla williams was forced into an arranged marriage because of her parent's debt to powerful mafia king Alfonso de Luca. Alfonso is known to be a cold and powerful person who thinks love is a man's weakness but what happens when Priscilla slowly becomes his weakness.
View MoreI continued to run as lots of men chased after me, the road looked empty but I believe if I ran far enough then I would get to a busy road. I didn’t realize I was running barefooted until I felt a piercing pain up my brain, I had stepped on a shreds of glass. I quickly pulled out the ones I could, making it start to bleed profusely, but that was the least of my concern right now. I got to an intersection and I didn’t think it through before taking my left. My leg was aching badly but I couldn’t bring myself to stop running as I felt my tears go dry on my face. As I pushed myself to keep going, the world around me became a blur of colors and sounds. Sweat drenched my body, mixing with the tears that streamed down my face. The ache in my leg threatened to bring me down, but sheer determination propelled me forward. With every breath, I felt a surge of energy coursing through me - an unwavering resolve not to give up. With every gasping breath tearing through my lungs, My heart poun
After what happened this morning, I've been hiding away in my room because Alfonso won't leave the house. He has been in his office but I'm scared if I leave my room, I might bump into him. I was foolish enough to think I would even be treated properly and at this point, I realized money can't buy happiness. I was not happy It dawned on me that true happiness lies in the simplest things in life - love, laughter, and a sense of purpose. Money can provide temporary pleasures, but it can never buy contentment or fulfillment. In this realization, I made a decision to let go of my materialistic lifestyle and pursue a more authentic existence. I missed my family so much, but then again, I couldn’t do much. All these sacrifices were made for them and if they were happy, then I’m glad I’m the reason behind it. I cried my eyes out as I thought of the many things I could be doing right now, I never had the time to properly wish my friends goodbye neither do I know if I’m ever going to step
it's been two weeks since I got married and let's just say I didn't know what to feel. My so called husband has been avoiding me, he doesn't like to get close to me nor does he even look my way, I've been assigned to a teacher who comes around to tutor me for some hours on school work, I haven't seen my friends neither have I seen my family, I only talk to them on phone. Alfonso hasn't been home for a week, even when he's around, he's either inside his office or in the guest room, it felt as though I was an attic which he just wanted to add to his collection to adorn his house. Even the teacher, who was in his late thirties is scared to speak to me sometimes, because of the bodyguard who always stayed with us throughout. Everything was so confusing that I felt as though my head would burst any seconds from the thinking I've been doing since I stepped into this house. I wanted to get to know Alfonso more, to know what he did to acquire everything he had, why men in black suit surr
I woke up very early the next day but felt very tired. when we got home the previous day, I went straight to bed immediately after taking my bath and eating something, I didn't even have the strength to admire the mansion in which I'll now live in.I got up from the queen size bed and walked into the big bathroom to freshen up, the whole exterior was black and gold, such a beautiful colour. I took a new toothbrush out of the bathroom shelf an brushed my teeth before looking at all the products on the large shelf. there were varieties of skin care brands, hair products and all other things that I would have never wished to own before this marriage and now everything is there for me to use the way I want. I turned on the faucet of the bathtub and regulated it to the temperature I wanted. I waited for it to warm off before slipping out of my night dress and entering the bathtub. I felt every fiber of my body relax as I lie backwards allowing the water to climb up over my head for som
"I Alfonso de Luca take you Priscilla to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward...." His stiff deep voice said as I zoned out.Just two days, I was an high school student who finally got asked by her crush on a date, it was a dream come true but a day later, that same dream was crushed when my parents told me a certain man had asked for my hand in marriage and we would be getting married the next day. Trust me, I would have refused but then this said man was fucking rich and he was like a saviour to my family that had debts upon debt pilling on our necks. I just couldn't let that opportunity slip away when there was a way to finally clear those debts. My father's company went bankrupt five years ago and since then we've been living our lives paying debts everyday, hardly having anything to eat and going to school on scholarship. My mom had a small bakery and coffee shop where we were able to earn little money, My father couldn't work because after the company went
