Hamdi and I sat in his room, playing PS5 games for hours, completely unaware of how much time had passed. It felt just like the old days, back when everything was still normal.I didn’t end up smacking Hamdi on the head like I had planned when I walked in. As soon as I saw him playing games, I forgot all about it. I’m a sucker for video games, so any irritation I felt faded away the moment I saw the screen.We kept playing, sometimes I won, other times Hamdi did, and the back-and-forth continued until it was time for him to go pray. Hamdi had an alarm set on his phone for each prayer time, since there weren’t any masjids nearby. The app he had would vocalize the Adhan (call to prayer) when it was time, and this time it was for Maghrib, the prayer after sunset.He put down his game controller, got up, and stretched, his shirt rising a little. “It’s time for Maghrib. I’m going to pray,” he said, before heading to his bathroom to perform ablution. I knew he’d be heading to the prayer roo
Glamour's POVIt all started when I played that fucking stupid game, "just say yes" I wonder who even brought the idea of playing something so preposterous...I shouldn't have gone to that club that night, I shouldn't have let Maya talked me into playing a ridiculous game with a bunch of crazy strangers. And I shouldn't have signed any damn contract jokingly or not.Maybe, just maybe, if I had stayed back home that night, then this story would have been a different one, or maybe there might not have to be any stories to be told. But I didn't. I went out, not just out, but to the club, a place that harboured nothing but those we're meant to stay away from.I didn't just go to a club that they prohibited me from going to, I also played a game that made my life do a 180-degree turn.So here I was walking down the aisle with a forced smile on my face, holding up a bunch of red roses while wearing a knee-length black dress and 3inches scarlet heels...Looking ahead, I walked as slowly as I
Why is he here, where is little man? what's going on.I suddenly felt like a thousand hands were pressing down on my windpipe making it hard to breathe.Breathe Glamour, breathe.I kept chanting in my head till I was able to breathe again.I can't believe my eyes, maybe I'm beginning to see things because I'm traumatized.The man standing next to me was dressed in a wine-red tuxedo and is about 6ft2 tall I think because even with my hills he was still taller. He stood just a few meters away, staring at the priest with a straight face. I could only see the side of his face, but I knew who he was.And now I'm even more confused than I previously was.I didn't sign a contract to be married to this guy, so how comes he's the one standing next to me?I think I'd rather marry little man than marry this man right here, I mean, he was the same guy eating out a certain blonde's face the day I signed away my future.Plus I think it would be much easier to kill Mr. Little Man and save my life
Glamour's POVWhen I woke up, I was on a bed in a room that looked small, it was like a compartment in the plane. I didn't know how I got there but I assume Mr husband was the one who carried me here.I wonder how fast asleep I was, that I couldn't even feel been carried. I'm not a deep sleeper, I'm sure it's only because I was too tired both physically and emotionally, to have noticed.I checked my body under the blanket, making sure he didn't take advantage of my tired state, and found that my clothes were unscathed.I heaved a sigh of relief before getting up and going into the washroom to wash my face.While in the washroom, I looked into the mirror and I was mind blown. I can't believe the face staring back at me belongs to me.Even though my makeup was light, I had a massive mascara on my lashes which were naturally long, and my lips were caked with heavy red lipstick, but all that is all over my face right now, making me look like a clown from a horror movie.I mentally hoped M
Glamour's POVWhen I opened the door, I wasn't exciting what I saw, Mr husband stood in the sitting room completely shirtless and appears to be looking at something..."Sh*t" I blurted out and tried to put my hand over my shotgun that I had hidden in my pajamas pant.Hopefully, he didn't notice it as I tried to move past him while eyeing him wearily and tried to decipher his facial expressions to know if he's seen anything or not but his lips were in a straight line while his eyes held no expression whatsoever.How could he be standing shirtless in the parlor, isn't the room enough for him, or was he trying to provoke me I thought as I felt flushed at the view in front of me...I wanted to say something but simply settled with ignoring him and proceeded to lie down on one of the big sofas.I waited for him to leave while clutching tightly to my shotgun in case he tries to do anything stupid.I could still feel his presence even though I had my back to him, and knowing that he was stan
Glamour's POV***I didn't know I had been able to fall asleep as my current situation, doesn't seem to be one that would allow a normal person to fall asleep. But I did, and when I woke up it was from a nightmare.I was been strangled by a face I couldn't recognize and it felt so real.I woke up terrified by the nightmare as it felt so real but when I sat up and looked around me I realized my present situation is far more terrifying than any nightmare one might ever have.I was still on the sofa where I had lied down last night, I reached my hands in my joggers to check if my gun was still there, I heaved a sigh of relief as I felt it was still there...I stood up went into the bathroom for a quick shower as I could not sit on the sofa and feel sorry for my life.In the shower, I tried to think of perfect ways to kill Mr husband one that wouldn't be a complete failure, because if I failed I and my whole family would be dead, or maybe he'd let me live to face the horrors and pain of l
Glamour's POVI had dried my eyes and got up from the floor of the kitchen, I went back to the sitting room and sat on the sofas awaiting the return of the soon-to-be-dead husband.I continued to mull over my perfect plan. the more I think about it, the more it seems to be not so perfect.I had intended to agree to sleep in the same bed with him, and then kill him in the middle of the night.But what if I fail, my head offers then I'd be dead and my family and friends would also be dead.The lives of my family and friends are worth more than any freedom I could ever ask for, and that's why I decided to wait until my plan becomes flawless, before I execute it.I would just have to wait patiently until we are back in California to make a plan that I'm sure would not involve failure.At least I know he's not trying to kill me so I might be able to survive a few weeks of agony, just until we get back.I was still thinking of possible ways to save myself and my family from this hell hole.
Glamour's POVI froze in my steps at his question, I wanted to ignore him like I've been doing for a while now, but I didn't wanna push my luck too hard.I don't know if it was written in the context of the contract that I couldn't go out without permission, so I replied with a short"The beach."I then proceeded to open the door but I stopped again at what he said next."Barefooted?"I rolled my eyes, could he not see my feet why is he asking me something obvious. I ignored him and went on out.I was expecting the beach to be packed with people but it was completely void of anyone. The swooshing of the ocean was the only sound I could hear.I was a bit sad because I thought that I would at least see people who were here on a vacation maybe couples even.I had been thinking about watching some romance even though my life seems to have no more hopes of experiencing any romance of any sort. not that I was expecting any romance, but I had hoped some days before I die to at least experien

Third person's POVDarhl drove over to the house that was filled with other vampires and only one fox which was Dale.When he walked in, everyone turned to greet him as he walked down the hallways that lead to the meeting room in that house.The house from the outside was a five story building with a penthouse.Inside the lobby, a guy who was supposed to be the receptionist stood behind a counter dressed in a black tuxedo.He bowed at Darhl the moment he walked in, and also the people seated at the lobby stood up to greet Dahrl before sitting back down.The lobby was set like a five-star cafeteria with seats set around a round table.There were three sofas around each table, and there were about fifteen sets of tables in the place because of how big it was.The elevator was located at the wall after the desk of the receptionist, so Dahrl went directly to it and entered. He then pressed the p floor which was where the meeting room was.The moment he walked out of the elevator and into
Third persons POV.."You know you can't escape your fate forever right, even if you keep choosing to ignore it, it would find you... Actually I think it already did,"...The words of the Dieza witches queen kept repeating in Darhl's head even though he tried his best to not be bothered about what she said, but trying not to think about it only lead him to think about it even more.He couldn't help but wonder what she meant by actually it already found him.He didn't understand why she said that, but he also tried to push out the thoughts claiming she might probably only be trying to get into his head because the Dieza queen was known for her manipulative acts.Getting out of the throne room wasn't as hard as it was when he was trying to get in, he only had to go through one tunnel.The fairies outside were still there and they bowed at Darhl's retreating form.By the time Darhl was completely out of the old building, it was already night, which meant he spent hours in there without kn
Glamour's POVI and Maya went to the mall to buy a few things we were going to use for decoration, and I was so excited.The feeling of doing something you really love doing just kinda hits differently than any other feeling in this world.Even though we didn't write any list of the things we were going to need, we were still able to buy the few basic things needed for decoration.While we were shopping, I decided not to think of my life's situation and how angry I was just a couple of minutes ago.The idea of starting to decorate the whole house made me really excited, even though I know how much of my time it was going to take, I was still super excited, and not the thought of Darhl or anyone would be able to get rid of that excitement.After picking up a few things, I asked maya to drive us over to a phone shop so I could get a new phone as I do not have anyone currently, because I shattered the one I was using just a few hours ago.At the phone shop, I got a Samsung phone, the lat
Glamour's POVMaya and Hamdi have a way of making me smile no matter how much I'm sad or feeling down.Each time I'm with them I kind of forget all about my hardship with the way they always bicker about things that don't make any sense, and how they would just say random stuff just to make me laugh is something I've always loved about them.Hamdi was the kind of brother everyone would wish for, and also Maya was that one friend anyone would ask for.Right now as I sat on my bed watching them bicker about something that I don't even understand, I couldn't help but smile at them and imagine what it would be like if they were actually real couples.Which was why I said what I did next."You know you guys would make the most perfect couple right," and they both stopped bickering to look at me before yelling."Ew are you suggesting a forbidden relationship between siblings," they both yelled at me at the same time and that made me laugh so hard that my ribcage started to hurt.When I fina
Third persons POV,Inside the cave, was a castle made of old bricks, and it had two female fairies at its entrance, and they tried to stop Darhl from going inside until a voice spoke saying, "let him in."The fairies which both had different colours of wings representing their specialty, stepped aside to let Darhl into the castle.Darlh walked inside the castle; a place that looked a little damp from the water that sipped into the walls from the waterfall that was beside the cave.But the moment he was inside the castle turned into multiple tunnels.Dahl had to take numerous turns after turns the moment he got into the palace before he was able to reach the room where the voice that had spoken was coming from.Darhl had to keep moving swiftly in the tunnels because they kept changing and if he wasn't fast enough then the tunnels would completely swallow him.To any other creature who doesn't live in that world, the tunnel would be doom for them.Any creature aside from those allowed i
Third person's POV,"Bang! Bang!!," A loud bang sounded from a room that was void of any light.Inside the room was an ancient-looking sarcophagus; which was where the bang was resonating from.The room was dark, but the person who laid in the coffin could see clearly through the hole in the top of the casket.He didn't know how he got there, and he couldn't understand what was going on. He tried to scream but no sound was coming out of his mouth.All he could do was continued to bang on the casket with all his might, trying to catch the attention of the people passing by.He could clearly hear footsteps and also voices coming from somewhere close, but no matter how much he banged on the wooden casket, no one came answering him.The mind of the person inside the casket was blank, he wasn't thinking about anything, it's like he couldn't even if he wanted to.He couldn't hear what the voices were saying, but he felt he knew the voice that was speaking.***Darhl laid back in his bed sti
Third person's POV"Wait, what would you never do, the alcohol, or a hot steamy night with your hot and handsome husband," Maya asked her friend confusingly...Glamour only rolled her eyes at her friend before saying, "both" and they both burst into fits of laughter.Her conversation with her best friend made her forget all about her current plight."Did you find the note I left you," Maya asked her friend jumping into another different conversation entirely."The one that looked like a stolen quote from your Favourite movie? Well yes I did," Glamour replied to her friend with a smile.Her smile wasn't just because of what Maya said, it was also because she was genuinely happy to have someone like Maya beside her as she goes through all this.Even though things felt awfully wrong ever since the decision she made after that night, she still felt there's a safe space that would never leave her whenever she was with Maya and that made her feel her decision to choose their lives over her f
Third person's POV,"Glamour," A dangerously low voice asked into the phone, and Glamour felt a cold shiver run down her entire body.It was him, of course, what was I thinking, picking up a call from a strange number, Glamour thought to herself.So she remained quiet for a while not sure if she wanted to be on a call with him or not.But for some reason, she couldn't end the call, it was almost like she was in a trance that she couldn't get out of.What are you doing, end the call already, her subconscious scolded, but she couldn't, and then he spoke again,"Hope you're fine now," He asked again and this time around she couldn't remain quiet."I'm fine," Glamour said in a small voice."Why am I sounding so small," she asked herself in her head as it felt new to her, but then she was reminded of what transpired between her and her parents.Knowing that he knew a deeper weakness about her was making Glamour feel small, and even though she despised it, she still couldn't help but sound
