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 losing all the people you love.I stayed in the shower longer than I should but I was still unable to come up with a plan. I knew I shouldn't kill him while we are here though, because then I might be stuck here as I don't have my passport with me.But then I could call home for a rescue I thought, and that reminds me of the fact that I hadn't seen my phone in my bag."shit how could I have not noticed that earlier" I spluttered "Maya must have forgotten" Even my purse was not in my box of clothes which meant I was stranded in a foreign country with no means of contact, no means of return if Mr husband chooses to leave me here, and no identification.I reluctantly got out of the shower and got dressed in the bathroom, and hid my gun in my box, before walking back out.The sitting room was empty, and I was beginning to feel hungry as I couldn't remember the last time I ate a full course meal.I went in search of the kitchen hoping to get something to eat even a cereal would do for now.I opened all the closed doors and found the kitchen but it was completely empty. No kitchen wares and no food or anything one could cook and not even a cereal were available.Was he for real, how can someone live without food, or does he always order takeouts? I asked myself, perplexed by this.My tummy made a loud rumble that I got scared he might hear me. I know some people might think it's weird that I could even think about eating in my situation, but I need to eat to live and I need to live to be able to kill Mr husband.Even the fridge was empty except for a few bottles of water.Grabbing a bottle of water, I went back into the sitting room and sipping water like I was drinking wine. I thought of how I'm going to survive without food and I know I couldn't so I decide to go ask Mr husband to go get food as he is supposed to be responsible for my feeding and well-being and if he wasn't cut out for that, then he shouldn't have married me.I was already climbing up the stairs with a furious face when I heard a ring of the doorbell. I wanted to ignore it but then I thought that could be a food delivery maybe he ordered for breakfast so I rushed back down the stairs and opened the door.A guy stood there with a bunch groceries bags and said he was asked to get this, I then stepped aside and allowed him to enter he went directly into the kitchen and kept them on the floor in the kitchen.He then asked where Mr. husband was and I told him he's probably upstairs as I haven't seen or heard any of his movement since I woke up, but I didn't tell him about that though.I think the guy who brought the stuff is probably his friend because he didn't address him as sir or Mr he addressed him as Dharl.I heard him go upstairs, so I went directly to the bags and started to ransack through them to see if there's anything eatable.There were a few boxes of cereal and cartons of milk and a few more things inside. I took out the milk and cereal which happens to be my favorite cereal. I then took a bowl from the kitchen shelf and went back to sit on one of the sofas.I poured the milk into the bowl and then added the cereals but I had forgotten to get a spoon and I had to go back to the kitchen.When I was about to get out of the kitchen after getting a spoon, I heard footsteps coming down the stairs, and I was about to stay back but then I asked myself why I needed to hide away from him when it's not like I had committed any sin.I walked out of the kitchen with my lips set in a straight thin line and went to eat my cereal.I saw both of them go out the door without turning to look at me, which was great because I wasn't looking forward to meeting his gaze.When I ate my cereal, I felt like something was missing, and then I instantly remembered it was my phone as I couldn't eat without pressing my phone but I don't have that with me now and it's all Maya's fault I've come to learn the hard way that your friends would take you to hell.In my own case personal hell on earth. I've never imagined staying 24 hours without a mobile phone and right now the thought of it made me pessimistic.I don't even know what time is it as I finished my cereal. I kept the plate on the floor but then remembered how my mom would always nag me for not tidying up after eating, even though we had house helps, she would always insist we tidy our plates on our own after eating...I got up and picked up the plate before taking it to the kitchen and I didn't know when tears started to fall from my eyes.Never in my life have I ever imagined missing my mom this much and not been able to at least call her...I sat on the floor of the kitchen and cried more than I had done in the past two weeks. I didn't know how long I cried for, but when I stopped crying, I decided that I can't do this anymore I don't think I can wait until we leave to kill him anymore, and that's when I thought of the perfect plan to get rid of him quicker.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
Glamour's POVI froze in my steps at the ring of the doorbell, who's at the door again, I asked myself, because I knew Mr husband wouldn't ring the doorbell before coming in, and if it was a friend of his they should have seen him outside by the beach.I quickly went to spit out the garbage I had just tasted into the water closet before going to the doorstep to open the door.A guy stood at the door holding up a few boxes."Food delivery for Mrs. Daniels," he announced and I was confused for a while, and I was about to tell him he probably came to the wrong cabin, before remembering Mr. Husband's name was actually Draige Daniels.My mind was yet to register the fact that I had become a Mrs until this guy here announced it.I must have been staring at him for too long looking puzzled because he asked again after if he was at the wrong cabin."Sorry I just didn't remember ordering for anything," I said, apologizing for not answering."Oh no problem, your husband had been the one who ord
Glamour's POVAfter ending the call with Maya, I sat there reminiscing what she had just told me about Mr Husband.I couldn't help but wonder why he would bother to know about small details such as knowing my favourite cereals.Maybe he's hoping for redemption for forcing me into marrying him, or maybe he's hoping for me to think he is a good guy but that's not gonna happen, not now, and most definitely not in the future.I wouldn't let trivial stuff like that change my perspective of him and I'm not gonna let it change my plans about killing him, I thought to myself before looking towards the direction of the stairs and whispered "I'm going to become your worst nightmare just like you had become mine."After that declaration, I felt a little bit at ease and then smiled knowing that I would make sure to become his personal doom and personal hell, just like he had become mine.I laid down on the sofa about to drift off into sleep before asking myself why I had to be the one sleeping on
Glamour's POV,I looked longingly at the oven as I could already perceive the sweet flavoured smell of the meat, and my mouth began to salivate at the thought of tasting it. Like who on earth doesn't like a good grilled steak, I thought and watched as Mr. husband opened the oven to bring out the readied meat.It looked so drool-worthy with a crispy looking colour and I bet it would taste even better. But then one thought occurred to me...'Would he let me eat from it?'After that thought occurred to me, I couldn't help but also think of the fact that he could actually be heartless enough to eat the meat all by himself. That made me stick out my bottom lip and narrowed my eyebrow, unsure of how I'm going to react if he does that.I looked at the meat, then at him and he had lips set in a tin straight line as he watched the meat disapprovingly.I raised an eyebrow even though he wasn't looking at me. I couldn't understand why he would frown at the beautiful sight in front of him.'He be
Glamour's POVThe last thing I remembered was passing out after eating that drugged steak that Mr Husband had prepared, but that still doesn't answer my questions about what exactly happened and why mom was here...I still wasn't done processing what's going on when mom came rushing to my sides."Oh my God Baby you scared us to death, are you okay?" mom screeched while touching my forehead to check my temperature."Yeah," was all I could manage, and my head became filled with thoughts about the scenario that could have happened that lead me to be here...I looked around me and I saw the other person to who mom was speaking. It was the guy who had brought groceries the other day."Where am I?" I asked mom as she came and sat beside the bed I was lying down."You're at the hospital honey," mom said in her naturally velvety voice.I tried to get up to a sitting position while mom gently held me up, before asking,"What hospital, why am I here?" I beseeched, dreading the reply that might
Third person's POV,He was walking back down the stairs after taking a bath when he heard the sound of someone coughing harshly, and that made him whisked down the stairs in the blink of an eye.He didn't know what was going on but he knew he couldn't let her choke to death, that's not how she's supposed to die, he thought to himself as he whisked into the kitchen.When he entered the kitchen and saw that she was sprawled on the floor, but was no longer coughing, he dashed towards her, but he saw that her eyes were beginning to close slowly."Shit! she's not dead is she?" He yelled before he tried to check if she was still breathing. He placed his index finger under her nose, but she wasn't breathing, so he placed two fingers by the side of her neck to check for a pulse, and found one even though it was so slow, and was barely even there.He looked up to see a half-eaten steak on the table. The same steak he had just grilled a few minutes ago. he had only grilled it because he thought
Darhl's POV,When Brent proposed they play the game I had come up with, I thought they might not agree to it, but after he had explained the rules I made up, her friend who seemed more outgoing than she was, was the first to agree. So she asked Dale to play the game with her.I didn't participate in playing the game, I only watched as they all played the game which sounded ridiculous even to me and I don't know how they were unable to see through it.The contract we gave her to sign that night was not an actual contract, but we switched the signed page into that of the actual one.We had made her believe she was getting married to Brent, until the day of the wedding, where I switched places with him. Brent was a goblin, so he was a small man as that was the nature of goblins.We couldn't let anyone find out that she was supposed to be married to me, and we most definitely couldn't let anyone know the reasons, because that would only endanger her.I leave in a world where I have a lot
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
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
