"Ryker, I can't take your shits any longer! I'm leaving this marriage, I'm leaving you!” Vanessa cried profusely as she moved her clothes off the closet.Standing close to the windows of the spacious bedroom, was Ryker, dressed handsomely in a white pair of long sleeve top and black pants. “And where do you think you're going? Hmm, my beloved wife?” He smirked and scoffed with pleasure.“I don't care, Ryker! As long as I'm free from being your wife!” She snapped and continued packing.“You know, Essa,” he called her name in short, moving slowly to her. “You have no family, no place to call home. This is the only home you know. Essa, you can't live without me,” he whispered with a mocking smile as he stood in front of her.She stopped and began to cry profusely.“I gave up my family just to be with you! I gave you my all, Ryker! And what did you pay me for all these years of loyalty?! You paid me with nothing but distrust, cheating and this!” She cried, showing him the scar on her che
MONTHS LATERIt was barely six months after Vanessa's death that the Clyde's family had gone searching for a new bride.Samantha stood in front of the tall Mansion's gate, looking at the address book in her slender hands. She had earlier applied to be Ryker Clyde's bride through the application form she had found online. Just yesterday, she had received an email of invitation to the Clyde's mansion as she had been selected for review. Her excitement knew no bounds as soon as she received the email, and here she was, standing in front of the mansion.She tucked her brunette short hair behind her ears and adjusted her short flare red dress which suited her petite body perfectly. What would it be like to be Ryker's bride? She thought with a smile as she gained entry into the mansion worth millions of dollars.“It's heaven on earth,” she gasped for breath, looking around the beautiful surrounding area.The clattering of glasses and laughter was heard as she gained entry into the building
It was a beautiful evening as they both stepped out of the Ferrari parked in front of the clubhouse.She couldn't believe she had accompanied Mr handsome to a clubhouse after so much pleas from him. He seemed new in town and doesn't know his way around.“So here you are, I beg to take my leave,” she said with humility and turned to leave.“Stop,” he ordered from where he stood.“I..I need to be home,” she stammered, trying to avoid those captivating blue eyes.“I know. But your job is not yet done. You'll come with me as my woman,” he said firmly while giving her the usual killer looks.“What?!” She cried, looking baffled.“Yeah, I don't want girls flocking around me. I came here only to have a drink, not for pleasure,” he explained calmly.She didn't know why she felt better, knowing he wasn't here for girls; and the fact that he asked her to be his woman tonight, made her feel better.“Are you in or not?” He asked calmly.“Um..,” she stammered, trying to find her voice.She hated w
Their eyes met and locked for a few seconds and Samantha's world caved in at that moment.“You!” Ryan pointed his finger as he walked towards her slowly.“What is going on, Samantha?” Ryker asked coldly while taking a slow sinister glance at Samantha who managed to keep her heads high.“”Oh, her name is Samantha?” Ryan laughed and licked his lips in disbelief.This is not happening, Samantha cried silently as she was handed back her flower bouquet by her maid of honor.“Ryan, what are you doing?!” Mrs Clyde yelled and pulled him away. “Are you..are you getting married to my brother?!” Ryan fired with his eyes on Samantha while being pulled away by his mom.“Do you know her? What's going on?” Sophia and Claris asked in surprise.Ryker tried to maintain his cool as he took a slow glance at Samantha again.“Do you know him?” He asked in a slow but angry tone.“I..I..I don't,” Samantha answered quickly.“Why did you drop your bouquet at the sight of him?” He continued in whispers.She fe
She looked up at his face and realized he was Ryan, the man she had an affair with last night. Her heart cringed and her world caved in as his bloodshot eyes pierced into her eyes deeply.“Last night, we had a fling, and today you're married to my brother?!” He scowled, spewing out hot breath on her face. She stuttered, “I..I'm..I'm..”“No!! You can't be married to Ryker! You can't be my brother's wife!” He raged, looking aggrieved as he pulled away from her.Ryker's dominant voice was immediately heard from the stairs, “What's going on here?”Her feet grew cold, and realizing he must have heard their conversation, she grabbed her wedding dress firmly and took to her heels.“Wait!” His commanding voice made her halt in the middle of the passageway. She stood stiff as she heard the sound of his shoes kissing the ground stylishly.His presence behind her made her turn pale in the blink of an eye. Caressing her left shoulder, he whispered sinisterly into her ears “Wifey, what did you
Her body ached, her eyes sore with tears as she opened her eyes to the noise coming from the large room known as the maids' quarters.Through her blurry vision, she could see the tall, fair skinned middle-aged woman standing in front of her. Her face wasn't visible enough but she could easily tell this was the maid who had brought her here last night.“Madam, you've been assigned to the kitchen this morning,” the middle-aged woman spoke with a calm but serious tone.Samantha rose her head slowly and her short brunette hair could be seen, dangling all over her face.“I'm so weak,” she spoke with a low pitched tone, recalling how she had cried herself to sleep on the cold tiled floor last night.“It's an order from above, unfortunately there is nothing I can do to help your situation,” the lady continued sternly.Samatha licked her dry lips slowly and dragged her body up from the floor. She looked around and could see some of the maids in blue uniforms, sitting on their respective beds,
Shoving her into the small balcony, he stood firmly in front of her, watching her regain her stance. “Tell me why you married Ryker!” He demanded almost immediately.“Your lips are bruised..,” she cried, trying to touch his bruised lips.He shoved her hands away and she retreated slowly, seeing his indignation.“I wanna know, why did you do all of this?! Why did you marry my brother? Why did you trick the family?!” He raged, his charming blue eyes seething with anger.“How.. can..can I answer all of it?” She stammered, her lips trembling as she stood before his intimidating stature.“I want you to answer me as soon as you're done eating!” He said and walked out.Her hands trembled on the balcony as she watched him return with a tray of food which he placed on the wooden table.“Eat,” he ordered and took his seat on the armchair beside the table.She took her seat and devoured the food almost immediately.“You've been starved!” He said angrily.She didn't respond and continued eating.
Mr Ken didn't take his eyes off Ryan for a second as Mrs Clyde battled for words. “Um, I'll take my leave for now, the atmosphere isn't business friendly at the moment,” he said and turned to walk away.“No.. don't leave!” Mrs Clyde called while trying to go after him. He paid no attention and walked out immediately.“You girls, go after him! And make sure we secure the deal!!” She yelled at her girls who were befuddled at the moment. They both nodded and ran out at once.Ryker shut his eyes bitterly and then he threw a baleful glance at Samantha and asked, “How dare you show your face?”. Samantha tried to speak but Ryan grabbed hold of her hands and hushed her.“Enough of your nuisance, Ryan!! How dare you step out?!! You and this filthy bitch!” Mrs Clyde yelled, walking towards Samantha and Ryan. “Oh, really? I am a legal son of this family and I deserve to be recognized,” Ryan defended.Ryker scoffed and walked towards him.“Just hear yourself,” he chuckled, taking a firm stand
"Ryker!!” Mrs Clyde alongside Ryan screamed in unison as they both rushed to the table.It became chaotic as Ryker bounced back from the floor. He flung his suit jacket away and unbuttoned his long sleeve shirt.“Ryker, what are you doing?!” Ryan cried, trying to get close to him.“Stay back or get ready to die!!” Ryker laughed like a maniac as he pointed a small cutlery knife at Ryan.“My son!! My son!!” Mrs Clyde panicked, trying to approach him.“Everybody, stay back!!” One of the men motioned with his hands for everyone to stay back.Sophia and Claris rushed towards their mother and pulled her back. Ryker began to dance and undress himself while pointing the knife at everyone's faces.“What's going on? What's happening to my husband?!” Samantha cried, breaking past the crowd that had gathered around Ryker. “He's gone crazy, I can't let him do this!” Ryan exclaimed as Ryker tried to take off his suit pants. He surged towards him and swung him to the floor. They both fell on the f
Ryan felt a tap on his shoulder and he turned to see the brown skin man in black suit standing behind him. “Danny!!” He called with excitement and they both embraced.“It's been a while, man!” Danny said aloud, adjusting his short gold tinted locks. “Yeah, I just got back in town. I'm sorry for not reaching out, I've got a lot on my hands lately,” Ryan said with a smile.“It's fine, Olgy and Henry are here too. They're upstairs, come on, let's go catch some fun. We really missed you, Ryan,” Danny urged with his hand on Ryan's shoulder.“I've missed you guys too, come on,” he said with excitement.He was about to walk away with Danny when a pretty girl in pink dress tapped him on his shoulder. He turned and the girl whispered a word in his ears and quickly pressed a small note into his palm. He stood still and watched the girl walk away. “Come on, man,” Danny urged from where he stood.“Um, I've got a call, I'll be with you shortly,” Ryan said and excused himself immediately.He st
It was a beautiful evening and Samantha looked at the mirror, admiring her exquisitely made dress which suited her hourglass shape perfectly. The light brown satin dress which stopped a little below her ankles was made in a ruched style, with spaghetti straps and low back cut.Her lips, shining with light nude lipgloss, broke into a smile as she watched Anna walking to the mirror shelf with silver pointed ankle straps heels. After slipping her feet into her heels, she stood up and looked into the mirror with satisfaction. “I'm good for the party,” she said with self appraisal as she adjusted her hair which was styled in a bob. “Oh, yes, you're looking elegant, glamorous, breathtaking!!” Hailey screamed with excitement.Samantha laughed and picked her silver clutch on the shelf. “Can't wait to see the look on sir Ryker's face when he sees the most prettiest woman on earth today,” Hailey continued.“Or, should I say, sir Ryan?” Anna whispered to Samantha's ears. “Stop it,” she lau
Ryan paced around the garage, wondering why Samantha hadn't shown up. The garage was their meeting point, and ever since they spent more time together, he was finding it easy to break free from his addiction.He looked at his time and it was past 2pm. “What's keeping her?” He asked anxiously, running his hand into his hair.After a couple of hours, he left the garage in frustration. Stepping into the building, he was intercepted by Anna the maid.“Sir, I was asked to give you this,” she whispered and pressed a piece of paper into his palm.He looked around carefully and proceeded to his room. Unfolding the piece of paper, he perused curiously, knowing the note was from Samantha.'Sorry, I couldn't meet up. I'm under surveillance. We'll lay low for now. No one should know about our meeting' the note read.He heaved out a heavy breath and licked his lips. She had proven so smart and intelligent to his amazement. “Who is she?” He whispered to himself.**Ryker's eyes fixed on the lapt
With her sunglasses on, she sat on the swing as her green floral dress flowed down the green grass. There was a serene and beautiful atmosphere in the garden, and only the chirps of birds were heard. The smell of fresh colorful flowers permeated the air as the trees produced refreshing breeze which swept all over the atmosphere. She felt a familiar hand on her shoulder and she turned and smiled wryly as she saw Ryan standing behind her. He was wearing a blue short sleeve vintage shirt over a black pair of jeans trousers. He stood for a moment, running his eyes over her body. “You look great in this dress,” he complimented.“Thanks, Ryan. What are you doing here? We're not supposed to be seen together,” she said.“Oh, stop giving me that crap,” he said and sat on the wooden chair a few meters away from the swing. “You don't wanna put me in a more complex situation, do you?” She asked, trying to avoid his captivating blue eyes which were pinned on her face. “You don't wanna leave
Her eyes protrude out of it's sockets and she turned swiftly towards Ryan. “I'm off,” she said hastily and tried to run away.He grabbed hold of her hand and she stopped.“I'll come with you,” he offered.“You wanna make this more complicated?” she asked seriously as she pulled away from his grips.She ran away with Anna and her heart began to race as they ran along the passage.“Where is he?” She asked, trying to catch her breath.“On the third floor I suppose,” Anna replied anxiously. “Why are your hands wet? And why was he standing behind you, half unclad?” She whispered with a silly smile.Samantha hit her slightly on the arms and continued walking fast.They stopped as footsteps were heard coming from the stairs. “I think they're here,” Anna whispered, standing behind Samantha.“Go,” Samantha whispered to her and she ran away immediately.Just then, Ryker appeared at the stairs with Mrs Clyde beside him. Betty and two of the male bodyguards were also seen walking with them.Sam
“Your mother?” She asked warily.He sniffed and walked to the bed. She followed behind him and they both sat on the bed while she placed a hand on his shoulder.“She has friends whose kids were into drugs, and she'll always take me to visit them. They introduced me to it, and ever since then, I've not been able to break free,” he related sadly with his gaze on the floor. “And she knew they were into drugs?” Samantha asked thoughtfully.“Yes, she knew. She was fully aware,” he replied.“How did she react after finding out you've been initiated?” Samantha asked curiously.“She felt really bad. She told my father and the rest of the family. They asked that I be thrown into rehab,” he replied calmly.“She felt bad? She didn't take responsibility for any of it?” Samantha scoffed.Ryan looked up at her face.“She's innocent, I made bad friends and the consequences are on me,” he said.“That's what she told you,” Samantha scoffed again.“How..how did you know?” He asked, looking stupefied.
Her eyelids fluttered, and she opened her eyes slowly as she felt cold dewdrops on her skin. She looked in dismay at the dark sky and she wondered why she was seeing the sky instead of a roof.She jolted out of her thoughts as she quickly recalled how she had spent the night with Ryan out here in the open. His muscular arm felt heavy underneath her breast, and she looked up at his face.He was fast asleep, with her body now resting on his thick bare chest, and his arms wrapped around her body. Her eyes trailed to his red soft lips, with the shape of a cupid bow, and all she wanted right away was a long passionate kiss from those lips. As if struck by something, she shook her head and slid her body away from his hands as careful as she could. She spread her jacked over his body and gave him a gentle pat before walking away.Stepping into the building, her heart began to race with fear of Ryker being back in the bedroom. The house was as quiet as a graveyard and she made little sounds
Walking into his room, he was taken aback, seeing Samantha on the bed. “What are you doing here?! Is dinner over yet?!” He thundered from where he stood.“Oh.. I was done with my meal,” she explained quickly. “Hmph,” he fumed and walked out of the room.She wondered why he was so angry about everything. After changing into her red nightie, she laid on the bed and pulled the brown duvet over her body. All she could think of right now was Ryan. She tossed on her bed, trying to wade him off her thoughts. In no due time, sleep crept her away.It was 12:30am when she heard loud voices outside her room. She opened her eyes and looked at the bed in hopes of finding Ryker beside her. He wasn't there, and she stood up at once.She heard footsteps at the stairs leading down to the foyer and she walked out of her room gently. As she walked out of the passage, she bumped into Anna, Betty and Hailey who were running to the foyer.“What's going on?” She asked anxiously.Anna and Hailey stopped,
