Hearing Avery's words, Cora lost control of her emotions. She turned and charged toward her, slapping her on the cheek before Avery could move away."How dare you?" Avery yelled and lifted her hand to slap Cora back, however, Reign swiftly caught Avery's hand and flung it, making her cry out in pain."Cora, this is not what it looks like," he said to Cora but she turned and began to walk away.Avery was so upset. She had promised herself that she would never let Cora slap her again after the last time she did in Reign's company, but now he had gotten in the way.Cora ran towards her car in tears and Reign was about to go after her when Avery hugged him from behind and said, "You promised me, Reign."He turned and pushed her away. As she fell on her back, he pointed his finger at her and warned, "This is really the last time, Avery. If you ever touch me again, I will forget that you once saved my life."After speaking, he dashed out of his house and saw Cora's car being driven away. He
CORA"Why do you seem so surprised?" I asked Reign. "Do I seem too soft and feminine to have achieved such an amazing feat?""It was....it was you?" Reign asked as his eyes brimmed with tears.I realized the implications of his words and gasped, "Were you the boy I saved from the burning house? What are the odds that..?"I was still speaking when he pulled me into his arms and hugged me, "Thank you, Cora. Now everything makes sense to me.""Wow! You were the boy I saved in the burning house in the woods? I still can't believe it!" I exclaimed."But I can," he replied, cupping my cheeks. "The first time I saw you in that elevator, when I looked into your eyes, I was so sure I had seen you before yet I couldn't remember our encounter. Now, I remember the little girl in pigtails crying because her Mickey Mouse pendant broke while she was helping me.I searched for you, Cora, and felt so guilty because you risked your life to save mine. I am so happy that you were the one who saved me and
Reign drove away from Cora's house while she sat beside him in his car staring at him. She kept thinking of what his surprise could be but nothing came to mind."Please tell me what the surprise is," she requested desperately. "Pleassssse"Reign stared at her and smiled, "Just be patient, dear. You'll get the surprise soon.""Get the surprise? That means you are giving me a gift," she concluded."We'll see about that," he beamed.His car suddenly came to a stop and Cora looked around for any sign of the surprise but could not find it. There were a lot of things she knew Reign had to tell her but she didn't want to waste her time talking about Avery. She wanted the night to be just about them and they could focus on Avery the next day.She looked around suddenly and realized that there were the only people outside and checked her time. She gasped when she noticed it was minutes past eleven. She didn't know that time had gone so quickly.Reign kept staring at something on his phone with
CORAThanks to Reign, I experienced emotions I never thought possible. How could a man be so perfect? The fact that I had gotten so upset with him earlier, made me feel very guilty.While Reign was making plans for our future, I was being petty and doubting him. I knew the sort of person Avery was and should not have let myself be affected by her cheap words.What if my anger had held out and I refused to accept Reign's apologies? Would I have missed out on such a special occasion? Just the thought of it made me shudder."What are you thinking about?" Reign asked, seeing the expression on my face.I smiled, "Reign, I didn't think it was possible for me to love you so much more than I did before. I think it's safe to say that I'm the happiest woman alive."He held my hand and led me to the couch, saying, "I think it's time I told you about Avery. I didn't go into details about her because I had something special planned. Now, I think I should explain everything to you."I sat beside him
In the morning, Avery stretched her body while her eyes were still closed. She heard faint voices and tried to open her eyes but the sun was shining down on her and the light was too bright.She had no idea where she was or why her body ached so much. She tried to remember what had happened before she fell asleep. However, someone began to splash water on her face.She instinctively tried to open her eyes but closed it back due to the impact of the water. Struggling to her feet, she began to run away and only opened her eyes when she no longer felt the water on her.She wiped her face and turned to see an angry, middle-aged woman with a pipe in her hand. Avery stared at her body which was completely drenched and asked, "What is wrong with you?""Aren't you the girl who killed that man, Greg? From your dressing alone, it's easy to see that you are truly a whore. What were you doing sleeping in front of my door?""Your door?" Avery began to recall the activities of last night. She was su
Cora and Reign arrived at the hospital. Her father was lying on the bed when they walked into his room. He smiled at Cora and she happily hugged him. "You look so much better, Dad." She exclaimed."It's all thanks to you," he replied.Reign greeted him at this point and he nodded. The last time they went to the hospital, Reign had waited outside so Cora could have some privacy with her father, so, they were officially meeting for the first time.He stared at Reign for a while and finally exclaimed, "Mr. Fletcher! What a wonderful surprise!""It's a pleasure to meet you, sir," Reign replied shaking his hand."Since you already know who he is, there's no need to make introductions, Dad," Cora told him. "I will just go ahead and spill the beans now. Reign and I are in a relationship."Reign told Cora's father about his intention to marry her and the latter was very happy about it. They spoke at length about their plans while Cora was careful not to say anything about Avery and her parent
Zach and Paige were having dinner together at a luxurious restaurant when he received a call from Luke asking him to check his inbox because he had sent him an important video which had gone viral on social mediaWhen Zach checked his inbox and saw the video, he clenched his teeth in anger."What is it?" Paige asked him.He wanted to tell her it was nothing but he knew since it had gone viral already, she would eventually find out. He showed her the video and she gasped, "Oh no! Our son is in danger again. When will Williams stop this?"Right now," Zach replied. He forwarded the video to his friend who was the police superintendent and called him. When the man answered the call, Zach exchanged pleasantries with him and said, "Someone wants my son dead. He has unsuccessfully gone to great lengths to achieve this but since he is not relenting, I want him to spend the rest of his life behind bars.

MIRANDA The expression on the faces of everyone turned into shock. Seeing that I looked serious, the lady at the counter said, "Calm down, Ma'am. I will call Mr. Duke right away and inform him."At this point, a man walked up to the counter. From the way he was dressed and the way all the employees at the counter greeted him respectfully, I could tell he was a prominent figure.One of the employees picked up a card from a bunch on the counter and handed it to the man, saying, "Here's an invitation to the boss' launch party tonight. It's mandatory to show up with the invitation, sir."The man smiled and accepted the invitation card, saying, "Thank you, I will surely be at the party."As the man turned and began to walk away, I stared at the heap of cards and thought, "So that arrogant man is throwing a party, huh? I wonder how he would react if I gate crashed it. Would he send me back home just as I want?"I suddenly became excited as I thought about what I could do at the party."I'm
MIRANDA My so called husband stared at me in shock and scoffed, "What effrontery!""Sammy, what are you still doing? Throw this piece of trash out of my house before I lose it."I rolled my eyes, "As if I want to be here! You must be crazy upstairs, which explains why you can't speak without raising your voice, old man. Pick on someone your own size and news flash, I would be more than happy to leave this place."A few other domestic staff had arrived at this point and they were all staring in surprise. The man looked at me in shock as though he could not believe I was speaking to him.He began to approach me and at this point, one of the domestic staff ran and stood in front of me. She seemed a little older than me and was beautiful too.Sammy tried to speak to him but he pushed him away. I folded my arms, feeling so happy that he wanted me gone. When he got close to me, the girl in front refused to budge. The man stared at her in surprise and it made me wonder who she was."Who the
MIRANDA I had no idea what was going on there but seeing the look on the faces of my family members, I got an uncomfortable feeling. The woman was about to speak, possibly to explain whatever the hell was going on, however, I did not give her the time to do so.I couldn't go through the back because my mum was right behind me, so, I passed the woman and bolted out the door. I stood outside briefly, and came up with an idea; rather than to Collins, I would run to my cousin's for the time being, until I understood what was going on. I heard footsteps behind me and began to run without looking back."Please, don't abandon us when we need you the most," I heard a familiar voice and stopped.My mom walked up to me and turned me so I could face her. Tears kept falling from her eyes as she cried, "Please, Mira. Go with the woman and do whatever she says. This is the only thing I have ever asked of you.""That's a lie, mom," I replied. "You've asked me to do a lot of things over the years. T
MIRANDA I stared at Collins' departing figure and thought, "You'll change your mind once I get back, Collins."I continued running to the road to get a cab. I could not stop worrying that something had happened to my dad. My mom didn't seem like the patient when I heard her voice earlier. My elder brother, Sean, was strong and athletic so it could not be him also. This left me with my dad who had poor health from smoking when he was young and becoming hypertensive after we lost my sister. Once I got to the front of my house, I saw my mum pacing up and down. She stared at me in shock when she saw the way I was dressed. I had initially left through the back and planned to return through it because I wasn't allowed to wear such skimpy clothes and with good reason."Why are you dressed like a prostitute?" She asked angrily as she grabbed my arm and tried to wipe off the makeup on my face. She completely ruined it but that was the least of my problems."Mom, what happened?" I asked anxiou
MIRANDAI stared at my reflection in the mirror and nodded in approval. I looked really sexy in the short, black dress I had on. There was no way Collins would not go crazy if he saw me looking so hot.He had been my boyfriend for three years in high school and now we were both in our first year in the same college. However, he sent a breakup text to me last night.I couldn't find him all day in school but I learned about the party that would take place in his house. Even though I wasn't invited, I intended to gatecrash the party and give him the one thing he had been asking for.My constant refusal over the years was the same reason why he broke up with me but I loved him too much to let him go. If having sex with him was what I had to do to keep him, then I was getting laid tonight. I arrived at Collins' house a few minutes past six and saw that the party was in full swing. His family was well-to-do, so hosting a party such as that was a piece of cake for him, especially when his pa

LISAI reached out my hand in the morning to touch Adam but he wasn't on the bed. I opened my eyes and realized I was alone in the room.I sat up and smiled. I knew that Adam would be excited about the news I wanted to give him. From the moment I found out that there was a little life growing inside of me, I had been ecstatic and dying to tell him.However, I decided to give it a month and it was finally time. Since a month ago when Adam and I officially became a couple, he had been nothing short of sweet. He was the best man in the world and the one thing I wanted more than anything else was to spend the rest of my life with him.Our relationship had been drama-free and I couldn't be more grateful for that. At first, I feared that Clay had something up his sleeves, considering how much he used to hate Adam.Surprisingly, he had really made peace and now occasionally called to make light conversations with Adam. It made everyone happy, especially their Granny.I was even more grateful
ADAMAfter Lisa left, life felt boring. Reading her letter had been extremely excruciating, especially because I knew that my Granny had gotten to her.I couldn't even get upset with my Granny. I loved her too much, and I knew that she did what she did because she felt it was best for the family.I so badly wanted to talk to Lisa, to hear her voice even once, but I had to respect her wishes. It was the only way I could convince her that I really loved her.In the days that followed, I was forced to get along with Clay, who also seemed to have become very sad. At some point, I wondered if he genuinely loved Lisa, or if he was just upset that he did not have something to use against me anymore.Thanks to our Granny, we were forced to eat breakfast, lunch, and even dinner together. Each time we tried to miss anyone, she would suddenly become sick and create a scene. We knew her health wasn't too good, so we had to play along. I was upset with Clay, but a part of me still tried to forgiv
LISAI sat by the pool, feeling sad as I stared at the water.I was waiting for Clay's Granny, who had told me that she wanted to have a word with me.I was surprised by how Clay suddenly reacted. I thought I knew him. Even in the short time I met him, I didn't think he could be so selfish. I was so disappointed in him. But I was very happy, too, that Adam was not willing to give me up.For a moment there, I had been scared. As I listened to their conversation, I had thought that Adam would give in to his Granny's request, but he stood his ground. It meant he really loved me. His Granny soon arrived, and I smiled at her.She sat beside me and said, "Lisa, to be very honest, I have nothing against you. I've always been an open-minded person and I've always said that regardless of the girls my grandsons bring, I would give my blessings for them to get married because I want them to be happy.However, I want my grandsons to be at peace with each other, I want them to be happy and united
