"You don't have any choice! It's only if you run from my claws."Ida couldn't help but ruminate through Corbin's words.'She had no right against him.''She had no right, she had forgotten her place so easily, indirectly bringing up her freedom in front of him.'At first, she had called him a human without human feelings or sympathy, but remembering she came to him herself, and he didn't force her to take the offer, so she ate back her words.The chiming of the telephone in the room jolted her from her thoughts, wondering who might be the caller, could it be Corbin's because they shared the same room? Should she just pick it? It won't hurt."Hey," She heard a voice which resembles Jazz's voice through the phone "Are you free? Would you like to bake a colleague's cake with me." jazz asked."Sure, why not." Since Corbin was out, she could go to Jazz's right."Yay, don't be late."*. *. *. "It was so fast with you, you are damn secretive, to be able to keep those bîches
The old lady would have gone crazy knowing Corbin took her away, without informing anybody."How do you feel when you're fooling someone?" Ida asked Jazz, after sipping from her glass of wine."I feel guilty, I don't just want to look at that person in the eyes again, ever felt that way?" Jazz asked and Ida nodded lightly."I just want to say the truth, it just feels like one day I will die of guilt, am just tired Jazz.""Do what you feel is right.""Thank you, I need to get something, I will be right back," Ida said, as she stood up from where she sat, holding her glass of wine.As she made to walk away, she suddenly slipped, but before she could fall, she was quick to hold the chair Jazz sat on to save herself from the fall."Oh my, are you alright?" Jazzlyn asked, standing up immediately to help Ida, trying to know if she got hurt."Am fine, oh gosh, your shirt!!" Ida's hand flew to cover her mouth, seeing Jazzlyn's white shirt, which had turned to light red at the front, with the
Just immediately Carson and Jazzlyn left, reunited again, Corbin locked the guest room with him and Ida all alone."Now let's continue from where we stopped... Fvck those couples!" He pulls Ida to him, slamming his lips on hers, his hand moving to the hem of her gown pulling it off her.They were in it already outside, before Carson asked for his phone, agitating the hell out of Corbin 'When he was just about to slide his cock in ?' That is the reason why he wanted both of them out of his house.***A little boy ran up to a king-sized bed and jumped on his mom, who was sleeping on the bed "Mommy," The handsome little boy of five called his mom continuously shaking her arms, so she would wake up."Baby," His mother finally wakes up, pulling the boy into her arms, as she pats his silk charcoal black hair.The boy couldn't stop laughing until his mom finally stopped when the door opened "Daddy!""Corbin!!!" Ida suddenly screamed out from her sleep, waking Corbin who slept beside her up,
"Son..""Grandson..""Corbin..."The three women in the room said in unison, a smile on their faces, happy to see Corbin.Grandma Reid, was about to run to Corbin who had entered first without Ida, to pull him in a tight hug, but she got angry, when she was pulled back by her daughter-in-law "Don't cross me, old woman?" Lavinia warned before she signaled Delta, who smiled knowing what Lavinia meant."Corbin!" Delta called again, as she began walking to Corbin, immediately she wanted to hug him, she was pushed away by Ida who got in between them, hugging Corbin instead "Oops, my bad!" She tried her best to look innocent, staring at the beautiful lady who she thought to be Corbin's fiancee, staring at her with rage-filled eyes, not bothering to hide it.Grandma Reid, who was happy to see Ida, who glowed even more than she last saw her, tugged her hand away from Lavinia, "You would never get what you want" Grandma Reid whispered before she walked to her grandson and her beautiful grandda
"Ca...Callen," Ida was stunned to see Callen in the room, or was there a third brother she didn't know of, sterling grey eyes 'It was undoubtedly Callen'."Do you know him?" Victoria asked, seeing Ida staring at the doctor who stared back at her with shock-filled eyes."No aunt, I think you should go rest, I will take care of Celine." Ida who had seen Victoria's tired face as she yawned continuously said."Thank you, but I don't want to stress you, I don't want my in-la...wait." Realization suddenly struck Victoria, starting at Corbin again "his h.." "No, he is not the one," Ida said quickly pushing Victoria out of the room, before closing the door back, leaving her with Callen, and Celine.Callen smiled at her, slightly waving his hand at her "I don't know you want to be alone with me this much.""Don't say anything funny in front of my cousin, what are you doing here?" Ida asked, glaring at him from where she stood "Want to get me into trouble again?" She asked."Am beginning to do
"I would bring you down, I would kill you.." He threatened scaring the living out of Lavinia.Lavinia didn't even talk to save herself from the blame, with how shaky she had turned immediately 'This was the first time Raven had yelled at her, in front of the family?' the fake tears she had earlier turned real, as she ran out of the room immediately. Ida suddenly felt bad for her "I would like y'all to excuse us," Callen said, and they all did, except for Ida "Would you mind if is stay here Dr. Callen?" Her eyes held a pleading look. The woman who had filled the space of motherly love in her life, was on the bed looking pale 'How would she leave her?'"I thought you wanted to stay away from me earlier," Callen said, not missing the part she addressed him as a doctor."You shouldn't be flirting in this kind of situation, Mr. Callen."****Corbin arrived hours late, he was looking like the devil incarnate, deep frowns on his face, seeing his family outside the door."How is she?" He a
Corbin stared at the woman who slept peacefully on the bed, her soft snores felt like rhymes in his ear.Then was her beautiful long brunette hair spread beautifully on the bed 'Why does he always feel threatened by Callen's presence around her? Why was he being possessive of her all of a sudden? Was it because he sees her as a property?He suddenly stood up from where he sat, picking up his jacket, before leaving the room 'He needed to find out why he gets angry these days when he sees her with Callen. Anytime he sees Callen near her, his brain always gives red signals.'It was nine at night when he left the Reids Residents. His car speeds through the dark and starry night, as soon as he gets on the road.After minutes of driving, his car finally came to a halt in an old bungalow.He exited his car, walked to the gate, and knocked on it "It is night already, if not a lone heart, who would come to visit an old therapist at night?" A weathered and calm voice like that of an old man, so
"Am sorry son, your mother requested to see your marriage papers.""Yes son, since it wasn't a normal white wedding, then it going to be a court marriage, I need the papers, I want to be sure of something," Lavinia asked, folding her arms around her chest.'What was this woman up to? Did she find out she wasn't Corbin's wife? Oh, thank goodness if she had. Does that mean her chance to leave Reid was here and near? What excuse would Corbin give?'"Is that why you came this early? Just to ask this question, I don't think it is something to be bothered about, is it because we don't wear our rings?""Lavinia just let them be, I don't want Mother to get angry when she wakes up, to find out we have been disturbing them""And let her get angry!" Lavinia yelled, but seeing the frown on Raven's face, she quickly pulled him in a hug "My love, it's just that I had a dream, and I just want to confirm it, not to break the family's heart later on."'Confirm it now, would you?'"How do you expect th
A scream of joy filled the hospital after the Reids heard Ida was conceived of a baby boy."Shouldn't we start searching for a name? What about Scott, Scott would be perfect." Lucinda said excitedly, getting a glare from Grandma Reid."Mention that Scott again, and I would be forced to put an 'e' at the beginning, I would escort you out, get it, I don't want to see you with that Scott ever again."Later in the day, the Reids were allowed to see Ida "How was it? Did it really hurt?" Lucinda asked, taking the chair beside Ida, Grandma Reid sitting on the bed close to Ida, petting her hair."It's hurts pretty bad, but it worth it, I don't know what Callen is still doing with him, I want to see my baby again." Ida had a reason to smile now, a reason to keep on waiting that one day Corbin was going to wake up. That day, she got the absolute care she needed from the Reids until her baby was tended to very well, and brought back to her, and was forced to name him "Asher! I don't want to do
"No!!!" Ida's eyes widened, seeing blood seeping from Corbin's chest, his eyes hollow, as he dropped to the ground with her in his arms.Corbin got shot, by Tyson, twice.Callen, breathing came out hurriedly, pain clutches his chest, together with anger for the man lying on the floor holding a gun, who showed no ounce of remorse.The sound of a police siren could be heard outside the warehouse, before Callen rushed at Tyson, grabbing him by his collar, and raining punches on his face "Fvck, how dare you?"Meera runs up to the horrified Ida "Corbin, please stay with me." Ida stayed beside him, as she watched the way he fought to keep his eyes open in her arms."Ida!!" he called with difficulty, as blood slipped past his lips "It hurts, even more seeing you in tears, I never thought we were going to go through this, but if...if it is a son or daughter, make 'em always know I love 'em...." he coughed, staining ida's cloth with blood.The warehouse was suddenly surrounded by police in no
"It was said that a night Kathy was done cleaning Lavinia and Raven's room, when the fvcking bastard Raven walked in, drunk and groggy, and he fvcking rapes the eighteen years old Kathy, who was yet to have a future like me, you can say it runs in the genes 'No Future....' Without mercy, after Lavinia who only cares about luxury, heard what her husband had done with the maid, she threw her out without same mercy, sending her out to the ruthless streets of Texas... Months later, Kathy finds out she is pregnant, and guess what she did? She tells Raven, the fvcking foolish spêrm donator, who goes ahead to tell his fvcked up wife who couldn't give birth on her own, and uses a fvcken surrogate mother..." he raged, letting the last drop of whiskey slid down his throat."Lavinia was after her, trying to kill her and the baby....she got what she wanted after she had bribed the doctor to kill her with the baby, but the evil doctor got rid of the mother, leaving the child, why hadn't he just ta
Ida coughed, before opening her eyes, surprised to find herself in an ice-cold room.Her hand went to her head, which felt like it had been pierced with a thousand needles, she sniffed, when she saw the dried red stain on her hand 'Blood'.'How did she get here?' she asked herself before the memories of what had happened earlier began resurfacing in her head.Her heart tightened, goosebumps all over her body, due to the coldness of the mist-covered room, the smell of fish hit down to her guts, and she felt like puking, before realization dawned on her, she was in a cold room, where fish were stored.As minutes went by, her eyes began getting blurry, as she curled in a certain spot on the floor, the tears sliding down her eyes, had turned cold, with the cold temperature of the room "Help.." her voice sounding less than a whisper, as she clutched on her chest, which she felt was going to tear apart if she doesn't get out of this place "Corbin..." she whispered before her eyes went shut.
Ida's heart stopped beating for a second, her mouth opened and closed lost for words because her brain had shut down 'This was too much...Corbin Reid loves her.'"You don't have to say anything if you don't feel comfortable." He said, noticing how she went stiff in his arms."No, I am fine, I..iam ju...just stunned, I... I can I u..use your washroom." she pushed him a little from her, as she quickly sprang up from the bed.He chuckled softly, as she gathered the coverlet around herself, but before she made for the washroom, he suddenly remembered something "Callen messaged me." he frowned."About?" she asked, as she turned to face him before she could open the washroom door."A baby...he asked if I didn't hurt the baby, what baby?" Ida's eyes dilated after Corbin's question, making her clench hard on the sheet on her body. She sucked in her bottom lips "Last time we were in Dallas, the night I told you I had a dream Corbin, why did you lie you made me use after pills low-key when you
Delta had drunk a lot until she felt groggy "Young miss, your father asked us to escort you home." two burly men in black suits walked up to her in her sober state.She looked up at 'em in teary eyes "Get away from me." she said, as she made to grab the next bottle lying on the table.A loud bang jolted her from the table, and her chin got lifted roughly "She is drunk." Callen whispered "Take her home." he ordered guards who were beside her."I know her, Delta Colorado right?" Meera who stood beside him asked and he nodded."She has always been a pu$$y, even in school.." Callen gave her a confused look "We went to the same high school, and she wasn't the cool type."CORBIN'S MANSION.Ida had taken the role of driving both of 'em to Corbin's house, her breathing coming out heavily, as she drove the car into the gate of the mansion."Fvck, I feel hot." she noticed how Corbin tried his best to stay put beside her.'That pretentious b!tch...' Ida's brow furrowed, as the car stopped in a l
"Be sincere with me Ida, and I would let you go, the time we spent together, doesn't it matter to you Ida?" he tilted her chin, so her eyes could meet his.She didn't respond "Should take as a yes Ida, that it does mat....""It didn't." she said into his face, with lying teeth "It didn't Corbin because I never saw a future for me with you, I was just that girl you had used in her weak state, I was just that girl who you see as nothing but a toy to soften your 'desires ' I was just that one girl you saw as an excuse not to live a good life, I was just that..hmm" her words got stuck in her throat when his lips covered hers.His hand went behind her hair, melting her in a sensual kiss, tears couldn't stop pouring down her cheek, as she let him kiss her without pushing him away.He pulled away, his lips moving to her cheek, kissing her tears away, before he moved up a bit, to look at her ridden face "It does matter then, but now Ida, it's different, do you know how jealous I felt when you
"You both look cool..with the kid, I thought it was a family of three," Delta said, holding Corbin's arm tightly.Ida gave a short smile, she suddenly felt weird, feeling Corbin's gaze on her "Why don't we go find a sit Ida?" Callen smiled, his hand, curling around Ida's waist."Okay. " she smiled back at him "Nice meeting you here Ms. Colorado, and you too brother," Callen said, looking at Corbin who gave out a stiff smile."Uhh wait, I have an idea, why don't we all sit together, like one big family..what do you say, Ida?" Delta asked a deep smile on her face.Ida tried keeping her smile intact 'This babe knows what she was doing, she just wanted to make her feel uncomfortable.'How would she cope, sitting at the same table with 'Corbin'?"Okay." Ida accepted "Callen shouldn't we give Camilla back to her parents?" Ida asked."No.." Camilla pouted, snuggling into Callen's arms.Callen grinned "I told you it's called 'obsession," he said whispering in Ida's ear, as he watched her chuc
DAYS PASSED, and now it was the fifth day, surprisingly Ida's salary doubled, or even tripled, just a little more and she would be able to pay Corbin 'How happy?' that was sarcastic."Callen wants to talk to you Ida, "a little boy tugged on her sleeve, drawing her attention to Callen who stood at the doorstep of the playroom.You could say she had gotten close with Callen, the cold look he wore most times were just facades to his softness.He reminds her of 'him' but there is still something which differentiates 'him' from 'him', they could be identical, but she feels something different when she is with both of 'em.She smiled at Callen who smiled back at her, as he walked towards her "This is from Callen," a kid came running with a rose stick, giving it to Ida."Kids are funny, they think it's one of those child's play they do.." A warm smile etched on Callen's lips, as he took the rose from Ida."Would you put it in Ida's hair?" the kids around them giggled, melting Ida's heart."W
