“Lydia, I know that you're busy at work but I can't help but miss you,” I said.

I was feeling bored at home. Lydia was on her night shift which meant that I was going to be alone till tomorrow night. Since I couldn't sleep at all, I decided to call her and talk with her for some time.

“I know how much you're missing me and I hope you know that I'm done for if my boss catches me stuffed up in the toilet on a call,” she said in a whisper.

Her voice was so low that I barely heard what she said.

“I know how you're feeling but just spare me five minutes of your time, please.”

“Fine! You know that I can't resist you,” she said with gritted teeth.

“So tell me how your work is going?” I asked.

“Today was awful. Someone died and the doctors kept yelling at us because they wanted to save that patient's life,” she replied.

I sighed, feeling bad for the patient who had died.

“Sorry to hear that. I can't wait to see you tomorrow,” I said.

“Same here. How did your work go?”

    I felt the cold water being splashed on me several times, I gasped and snapped my eyes open immediately. I was in an unknown room and my hands were tied to the back of the chair behind me. Tessa and Collins stood in front of me with a concerned look on their faces, but when they saw that I was okay, their smiles were replaced by a smirk.“I'm deeply sorry for the way Tessa mishandled you. For a second, I thought you were never going to wake up,” Collins mocked.“Get me out of here. How can you be Spencer's cousin brother and still have the mind to do this to me?” I asked him as tears spilled down my eyes.I don't understand why this is happening to me. This isn't the way I mapped out my life to be. Leaving my marriage was never my intention but being kidnapped by Spencer's cousin's brother is way out of the league. It's not even making any sense to me at all.“Unfortunately, I believe that you have not asked Spencer about his past. Let me give you some highlights of what happened to S

    ** Spencer **I was uncomfortable on my bed… I can't tell why but I had a bad feeling about something, I can't even comprehend what the thing is. I rolled on my bed several times until I could not bear it anymore.I picked up my phone and left for the kitchen to grab a bottle of water. While on it, I call my mother. Whenever I feel down, she has always been the person who comforts me and assures me that everything will be fine.“Hello, son. How are you doing?” Elizabeth's soothing voice rang in my ear.“Mother, I'm not sure how I'm doing. I mean, physically, I'm okay but emotionally, I'm uncertain about it,” I replied honestly.“Why are you feeling like that?”I sighed. “I don't even know.”“Spencer, is there any woman in your life?” The question threw me off my guard. I was not expecting her to ask me such a thing. Not like I don't share stuff with my mother, but I keep her in the dark about my sex life.I scratched my forehead softly, contemplating whether I should come clean with

    Her eyes opened slowly after being administered some medications by the doctor. I held her hand tight as she stirred on the bed.“Sydney, you are finally awake,” I said to her.She turned to look at my face then she pulled her hand from mine. “ Why did you come to save me?” She asked.That was a weird question. I was expecting her to be happy and grateful that I rescued her but instead, she was angry at me.“What do you mean by that?” I asked her.She was silent for a while then she shook her head. “Forget about it,” she replied.“Sydney, you know that you can talk to me about anything,” I said.“All I want is a glass of water,” she said instead.I nodded and poured out a glass of water for her to drink. The door opened and Lydia walked in with worry written all over her face.“Syd, are you okay now?” Lydia asked.“Yes, I am fine now,” Sydney replied.“Let me call the doctor, I'm coming back,” Lydia said and left.“What happened to you last night? Do you have any idea about who was the

    ** Sydney **I stood in awe in front of the mirror. It was still like a fairytale story to me… I was officially in a relationship with Spencer Martins. I thought I could prevent this from happening but it was as if fate had the upper hand, all we had to do was succumb to what it had in store for us. Lydia came into the room, her eyes on me like a hawk.“Come on, Lydia. Nothing is going to happen to me,” I said to her.“How can I tell? The last time I let you off my sight, you got kidnapped,” she said.She sounded really worried about what had happened. I could tell from the way her face twisted in worry whenever she looked at me. I don't want Lydia to carry the responsibility of having to look after me. After all, it wasn't her fault that Collins and Tessa wanted to use me to get rid of Spencer so badly.And about that…I haven't told Spencer the truth yet. I know that I should probably tell him about his crazy cousin's brother and his ally who wants him out. But I am also scared of l

    “What do you want now?” I asked her.I was already boiling in anger as I remembered that Miriam was the reason why Collins had kidnapped me in the first place. I'm supposed to be the one to bombard her with loads of questions about what she was doing with Collins and why she had told him about me.“I heard from Spencer that you were also kidnapped. Who was the mastermind behind your kidnap?” Miriam asked.I sighed. Of course, this was all she wanted to know about. If I tell Miriam about Collins, this will boost their alliance and make them partners in crime. Miriam would do whatever she could to get rid of me so she could have Spencer to herself.“I don't know who was behind the kidnap. Just as you were kept in the dark, so was I. I also want to know who the mastermind is but there is no way I can figure that out because all the traces have been cleaned up,” I replied smartly, keeping a straight face so that Miriam would not suspect me.“It's so frustrating as I continue to think abou

    The night of the baby shower came quickly, I didn't even expect the days to go by so fast. Spencer came to pick Lydia and I up, he was also coming with Max so that I will not feel utterly alone.“Thank you for doing this,” I said to Spencer immediately Lydia and I entered the car.“You don't have to thank me for this. It's my responsibility to do this for you,”Spencer replied.“Hey, Lydia. It's been awhile,” Max waved to her.She scoffed, “Don't pretend like this is your first time seeing me and please, stop coming to my workplace frequently.” I and Spencer giggled. The both of them were like a cat and a rat, they never got along with each other although I'm aware that Max likes Lydia a lot.“Your workplace is a hospital, Lydia. I'll always come there whenever I'm not feeling fine,” Max replied.“You are always feeling fine and totally stressing me out there. If I ever see you again, I'll quit my job because of you,” she snapped.Max sighed. “It's alright, you don't have to quit your

    I sighed as I turned around to see Jessica, standing behind me with her hand on her waist. She wasn't alone, her mother , Andrea was standing beside her. Both women had a smug expression on their faces as they glared at me. I was ready for anything they were about to say to me.I have always known that my conversation with my husband's family never ended well, so now that I wasn't a part of their family, the conversation was not going to be any different.“Hi, good evening, Jessica and Andrea. It's been a very long time since I saw you two last,” I said, trying hard to sound as nice as possible.Jessica guffawed. “You really have the guts to show your face here after all the drama you acted back then. I thought that you will never show your face to us ever since you walked out of this family. But here you are, acting like you're the nicest person in this fucking world!”“I know that you never liked me, Jessica. But can we put that aside and keep our characters together at least for Ai

    ** Spencer **As soon as Sydney stormed out, I could feel the awkward silence that prevailed between us. It was weird as the three of us were left speechless. I didn't like the fact that Sydney left without me, but there was no point in complaining.Remembering that I and Aiden had agreed to have an important meeting together, I decided to use this opportunity to clear the air with him. Because after this, I doubt that I was ever going to talk to him again. He had hurt Sydney so many times and there was no reason for me to associate with him.I cleared my throat to draw their attention to me. “Aiden, I think that this is the best time for us to talk,” I said to him.He nodded as if his senses were coming back to him. “This is a good time to have a conversation,” Aiden agreed.“Good, although we have to discuss it alone,’’ I said, gesturing to Joyceline to leave us alone.Joyceline scoffed. “This is ridiculous. How do you want me to leave because of your business talk?”Aiden turned her

    Her eyes lit up as soon as the club lights were turned on. Tonight was going to be hectic, just like every other night in DaSilver’s clubhouse. Sophia silently prayed for tonight to be better than the past few nights since this week started. “Sophia Bennett! Are these guests going to serve themselves?” The sarcastic tone of her manager, Mr Meyers, hit her hard.She turned around swiftly to stare at him with her big doe eyes, “Not at all, sir.”A smirk curved at the corners of Mr Meyers’ lips, “Then stop staring at me like a confused deer and get to work!” He snapped at her.Sophia gathered herself and composure together and scrambled out of his presence. Once she was out of sight, she sighed and tied the apron around her waist. This was how a bad night usually begins with, a terrible scolding from her manager or a superior colleague.“You might want to stop zoning out and get to work, Bennett,” another scornful voice reached her ears. It was from Joanne, the oldest worker in the cl

    Elizabeth was sitting calmly in the living room, her legs were crossed and I could feel the elegance as it emanated from her calmness. My heartbeat was louder than the sound that came from the movie that she was watching in the television."Mom, you're here," Spencer said to get her attention.She turned around and smiled at him, when she looked at me, she maintained a mild expression before looking back at her son. "Yes, Spencer. I was bored at my place so I decided to come over and see you and Sydney," she replied to him.Spencer ordered a tray of fruits for his mom while we settled down to keep her company."You are looking healthy, Sydney," she complimented me."Thank you," I said with nervousness. I felt like my nervous system was going to break down any minute from now."Spencer, can you spare me twenty minutes of a private moment with Sydney?" Elizabeth asked her son.Spencer nodded and stood up, "Okay."As soon as he left, my heart sank further because I thought that Elizabeth

    ** Sydney**I felt his touch on my hair and earlobe and neck, his hands were all over my face but his touch was gentle, sweet and arousing. I stirred my eyes open slowly, I didn't want to wake up in the first place because the last few events have been exhausting for me.Learning the truth in the most painful manner was exhausting enough for me, I was glad that I was done with the Talker's family although it was not yet official. Aiden had really used my heart and broken it into a million pieces but in the darkest of hearts, I have found Spencer and he was willing to be my ride or die for life and nothing was going to change that forever."Good morning, sleepy head," Spencer murmured in my eyes and I giggled, that sweet feeling of being a loved woman has returned to me again."Spencer, why are you disturbing I and the baby so early in the morning?" I asked, pretending to be angry at him.He kissed my forehead and then my baby bump that was more visible now, we were almost at sixteen w

    ** Sydney**I stood on the balcony of my room, looking outside at the clear sky and sun as it shone bright this morning. My hands subconsciously rubbed my belly bump that was becoming visible as each day passed by. My mind was zoned out on the various events that had just happened in the past few weeks.The whole new experience I had when I was with Spencer and how it died down pretty quickly unlike how I expected it to be. My thoughts were randomly thinking of how strong I have been while going through the drama of being involved with Spencer Martins. The love I felt we shared - was it even real?Or was it just an infatuation? Was I too desperate or scared of being alone that I couldn't even shed a little bit of hope of restoring my marriage?Now look at me here, back with my Aiden and his family because no matter how far I run, I would still come back to Aiden's arms. That was the power of destiny and this was how it wanted its game to go.I only played along to it and probably migh

    ** Spencer **I caught her right before she fell flat on the floor, her sleeping face was looking so calm and peaceful. I make her sit on the chair and relax her body, then I part her lips slightly and place mine on it, pumping air into her lungs.After thirty minutes of this continuous attempt, her eyes fluttered open. I handed her a glass of water to drink so it could calm her nerves down.“You passed out earlier, I figured out that it could be a sign of weakness so I've decided to drop you off at home and let you rest for the day,” I said.I feel like this was what she needed most. A few hours of rest and she will be fine. I don't want to stress Sydney out that much especially since Max saw her in the hospital earlier. She might not open up to tell me what's wrong with her, but I know that she's feeling exhausted and needs rest.“I'm okay, you don't have to let me do this. I came here to work and get paid, I have to keep to that protocol,” she declined.“Why?” I asked.“Why what?”

    ** Collins **I parked in front of Spencer's Group company. I can't even remember the last time I stepped foot around this place. I haven't been around this area but because of my current mission, I guess I will be hanging around here for a while.It's not like I don't have a business to be busy with. Fortunately, I inherited the Martins company after Elizabeth and Spencer disappeared from the city. The company was handed over to me at a very young age, however, due to my mismanagement, it went over the hill.Currently, the company is on the verge of going bankrupt which is why old man Lee, who is my grandfather and Spencer's grandfather too, decided to put me into politics. The aim was to become the mayor of the city and rule over the people. With this new aim in mind, the bankruptcy of Martins's company did not matter to me or old man Lee.What would shatter us now if I did not make it to the primary elections, which is why we are set out to eliminate whatever it is that is on our w

    Sweet trails of kisses wake me up from my deep sleep. I stirred up in bed and opened my eyes slowly. Spencer kissed my lips briefly and smiled at me.“Good morning, my love,” he greeted sweetly.“Acting sweet really suits you a lot,” I said and he chuckled.“Better get used to it. Meanwhile, I ordered some foodstuff while you were still sleeping,’’ he informed me.I pouted like a child, “I don't have the strength to prepare a meal right now.”“You have to stress yourself or my baby. Few weeks of attending a cooking class when I was in my early twenties is going to pay off,” he replied.“Really? You are going to make breakfast for me?” I asked excitedly.He nodded and got up from the bed. “You can come and watch me.”I giggled and joined him in the kitchen, helping him out to prepare a lemonade for our meal. However, it wasn't long until I heard Lydia calling my name.“Sydney, where are you? Oh …” she said. The last part slipped out when she saw Spencer, who was wearing an apron and co

    I wanted so much more…So much power, so much fame…And I still wanted the woman I loved …“Are you crazy, Collins? How dare you text me after everything that you've done to Spencer?” Miriam asked me as she walked into the coffee shop that I invited her to.“It's nice to see you again, Miriam,” I smiled at her.She rolled her eyes and sat down. “Whatever you're telling me, better be quick about it and don't expect any favors from me,” she snapped.I grinned widely. She was always acting tough, trying to seal her fear and emotion. I like her for that but I wanted her to be free and open with me. I have to make her understand that I'm not the bad person here. If I could just show her the brighter side of things, then she would realize that it is me that she needs. Miriam might be acting cool but I know that she's still greedy on some things.“Relax, stop acting feisty. It doesn't suit you at all. I called you here because I've missed you,” I said.Miriam scoffed. She glared at me so har

    ** Collins ** There was chaos in the house. I could tell from how the environment was tense and awkward. I was angry at Tessa and in turn, old man Lee was angry at me. We met in the tea room to discuss. The servants poured out the tea but none of us touched it. The rage was too much to drink tea right now.“It was one simple task that was given to you to get done and you couldn't even do it. The deal here was to get rid of Spencer, not spare his life!” Old man Lee shouted at me.“This was all his fault. He cowered at the end and spared their lives,” Tessa said.“Mind you that hurting or killing my brother is something that I should be doing alone. I never asked you to do it for me,” I said to Tessa with gritted teeth.She rolled her eyes, “This is not a kid's game or whatever you think this is. There's a task to complete and the reward would get you millions of dollars but you chose to be a coward instead of fighting to get it done.”I clenched my fists in anger. My heart was burning
