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
CORAI came out of my new house all glammed up at seven and Reign was already waiting outside to pick me up.Earlier, we had gone back to his company and worked for a few hours before leaving. Reign promised to pick me up so I wouldn't have to drive and now, we were ready to go."You're a sight for sore eyes," he complimented me. I raised my brows in disbelief but he added, "Seriously, I can't remember the last time, I saw a lady rock a pink dress so sexily."His words made me happy, even though I believed I wasn't as beautiful or sexy as he claimed.My luggage was filled with new dresses I had bought prior to my wedding to Lucas, in hopes that we would attend a lot of dinner parties as a couple. Glad I would now have the opportunity to use them all. This was why I had told Reign earlier that he did not need to take me shopping.As always, Reign wore a suit and looked dashing in it. I was tempted to ask him why he had to look so serious when he was having dinner with his family. How
REIGNI saw the color drain from Cora's face and how shocked she looked. What I had thought would be a happy dinner for her had suddenly turned into an unhappy one.I became angry. If only my mom had mentioned that Lisa and her mom would also be present, I would not have brought Cora with me.I felt her body stiffen and she tried to pull her hand away from my hold but I wouldn't let her.I could also see the look of shock on my sister's face. It was obvious that she had initially taken a liking to Cora but that changed really quickly. She had never liked Lisa and always told me in the past that Lisa had me wrapped around her finger which was something she found upsetting.The expression on my dad's face had also changed to one of irritation, seeing that Cora's and my fingers were still intertwined together.I led Cora to the dining when everyone began to take their seats. As she sat beside me, I briefly squeezed her hand in comfort, hoping that it would make her feel better.Lisa's ga
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
