CORA

Growing up I believed in one fact; no matter how dark the sky gets and no matter how much it rains, the sun will smile at me, at least once. I thought that happened when I met Lucas but I thought wrong.

As I stared at Reign; the first man in whose eyes I was the most beautiful woman in the world, I made a silent promise to myself.

For as long as I lived, I would only let go of him if he let go of me first. Reign who seemed like an unreachable star in the clouds wanted a chance to be in my life. Exactly how could I let him know the extent of my love for him? Even if the sky fell down, no one would separate me from him.

Tears filled my eyes as I managed the words my brain could conjure up at one of the most important moments of my life. Little did I know that my nemesis for being naive and foolish, would get in my way.

The pleasant expression on my face disappeared and my eyes darkened as Lucas angrily strode toward me. 'What gave him the right to tail me and how dare he get angry

    REIGN I carried Cora in my arms out of the garden. What I had planned to be a special moment ended up being ruined by the scum who called himself her husband. I could see Cora's pain, just as I could see that she was trying really hard not to break down.I passed my car and walked over to hers. "Where are your keys?" I asked."In my bag," She replied.I realized she had left her bag behind and made her stand on her feet. "Just wait here, okay? I'll be right back." I said to her before walking back to the garden. I saw Lucas, who had just gotten up from the ground, and ignored him.He stared at me silently as I walked toward the table and picked up Cora's bag. I began to leave afterward but stopped, turned, and said to him, "Cora is mine and that will never change. In the future, refrain from disrespecting her privately or publicly otherwise, I wouldn't be as lenient as I was today. This is your first and last warning."He eyed me cautiously as though he was afraid I was going to atta

  • Billionaire Series; Falling Into You   I WANT A DIVORCE

    CORAAs I drove away, I tried to steady my hands which were shivering. Seeing Reign's ex-girlfriend made me feel a little guilty, even though he had told me that I wasn't the reason why they broke up.It was obvious she was still in love with him, but what could I do? If Reign were also in love with her, I would voluntarily walk away with a broken heart. However, he wanted me. It was only natural for me to choose myself over Lisa. She could make good on her threat if she wished, but I would not give up Reign because of her. I too deserved to be loved by the man I loved. I deserved happiness.I couldn't deny though that I felt a little uneasy leaving the both of them together, but it was the best I could do.When Reign carried me into my car and told me he was taking me home, my mind had imagined so many scenarios of how the night would turn out. I had even imagined what would happen if Reign wanted me to share his bed.Yes, it would be sudden but I would have gladly given myself to h

    REIGNAfter Cora left, I stood outside my house for a long time thinking about the best way to handle Lisa. In the end, I still had to consider a lot of things, which meant I needed to choose my words carefully.The moment I went back inside, Lisa got up and took off her robe again. I gulped as I froze on the spot, staring at her."Reign, I don't want to hold back anymore," she said as she walked closer to me.Listening to her words, I recalled when we graduated college. At the time, I was so crazy about her that she was the only girl I thought about.That night, we had a party at my parent's house and drank a lot. I was so turned on that when she went into my room with me, I desired to get intimate with her.However, she told me that she didn't want to take that step until we got married. I stopped myself and never tried to touch her in that way again. We merely held hands and kissed briefly. That would have been enough if our feelings felt mutual. She was always aloof where I was c

    CORAI contemplated calling Reign but eventually decided to give him a little time. So, I went into the bathroom and freshened up before lying on my bed. I finally dialed his number but to my surprise, Lisa was the one who answered. She once again referred to him as her man and called me a bitch before disconnecting the call.Even though I knew in my heart that Reign was over his ex, my heart still raced. It was obvious that Lisa didn't want to give up on him and was possibly fighting to still be in his life. I tried to put myself in his shoes and understand the difficulties he was going through just because he wanted to be with me.I waited for him to call me back but he didn't. I tried calling his number again but it was not reachable. Could Lisa have gotten her way?I stood up and shook my head, no, Reign wasn't a fickle man. However, he had a history with Lisa. They had been together for so long and a lot of things must have happened between them.... intimate things. What if...?"N

    CORA.As Reign and I stared at each other, his sexy blue eyes, deep and expressive, captivated me with a magnetic gaze.His well-defined nose added symmetry to his face. His high cheekbones were proportionate, without being overly prominent.His sensual lips were naturally alluring, their contours subtly inviting and complementing his smile which exuded charisma with a subtle playfulness that danced in his eyes.And his well-groomed beard added a touch of rugged charm, which would leave a lasting impression on anyone, including me.He had a commanding height, broad shoulders, well defined muscles, and sculpted chest. His posture exuded confidence and his trim waist made him unbelievably attractive. Looking at his body, it was no wonder that he was so strong and could knock off a man with just a punch.Seconds and minutes passed by but we remained lost in each other's gaze, our eyes drilling into the other's.The sound of his phone ringing brought us back to the present and we both smi

    MONALISAI opened my eyes and the person I saw sitting beside me was my father. As I sat upright, I recalled everything that happened last night and covered my face in shame."Are you okay?" My dad asked.I shook my head. How could I be? I never thought a time would come in my life when I would sink as low as I did last night. It took so much for a prideful person like me to throw myself at him.I didn't believe Reign would reject me till the very end. Remembering how he had attacked my neck last night brought tears to my eyes. The Reign I knew would have never tried to harm me, no matter the circumstances. It seemed I no longer mattered to him."Reign brought you back home last night, saying he had put you to sleep. What exactly happened between you two?" My dad asked."Reign doesn't want me anymore," I cried."But how can that be?" My dad asked. "It is no secret that he is head over heels in love with you. Why would he want to leave you?"Hearing my dad's questions, I took a trip do

    REIGNI gazed at Cora as she struggled to come up with an answer to my question.I found myself mesmerized by the way her long and velvety lashes moved up and down while she blinked.Her brows were thick but shaped like the crescent moon. Her eyes were like pools of deep enchanting hazel, reflecting warmth and mystery. Her lips, a shade of delicate rich pink, ignited the fire within me, making me want to taste them all over again.The contours of her face were gracefully sculpted, with a gentle curve of a smile that added an extra layer of allure, creating a captivating blend of elegance and charm.She had a petite figure with delicate features that made me want to envelop her in a warm embrace and keep her safe from the world.She was perfect for me, in every way, and when she was with me, I truly knew happiness.Although I knew that she would not consent to living with me, I still asked the question to tease her. I wouldn't want her to live with me until she was free from Lucas. I co

    CORAI couldn't deny that I was surprised to see Avery's mom, but I ought not to have been. She was in on the plan to humiliate me from the get-go.Moreover, this was her daughter's husband's house, so to speak, but how did she get in? Lucas wasn't home and I knew Avery wasn't as well because the car she had driven out in the morning was not outside.It was funny to hear her ask me stupid questions when legally I wasn't the trespasser, especially since Lucas hadn't yet given me the divorce I so badly wanted.Seeing her become humble and stutter in front of Reign gave me a sense of satisfaction because he was my man. She seemed really surprised to see me with him, judging by the look on her face. It got me wondering if she had met him in person before.I suddenly recalled how Avery had boasted that she was going to end up with Reign and toss Lucas to me. Could she have said the same thing to her mom?Thinking about it, it dawned on me that Avery didn't love Lucas. First off, making him

    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

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.
