“My last day?” Ashley echoed, fear creeping into her voice. “What do you mean?” “Look at me!" Adam shouted. "Do you think I deserve an obese woman like you?” He spat, his face contorting with disgust. “Me?” she finally managed to whisper, her voice shaking. Betrayed by her husband and sister on her birthday night, pregnant Ashley Smith is left for dead. Fueled by anger and a thirst for vengeance, this dead girl is back with a new face and identity, but her quest for revenge might not be as simple as she thought, plus her ex husband likes the body of this new woman and wants her. Will she be able to get her revenge or will she lose it all again? And what happens when Prince charming comes her way after she'd sworn never to give love another chance?
View More**Third person**As she screamed, Karen felt herself falling, her legs giving way beneath her. She hit the ground hard, the wind knocked out of her.Adam woke up from his sleep, his eyes wide with concern. "Karen, what's wrong?" he questioned, rushing to her side.But Karen couldn't speak. She was frozen in terror, her eyes fixed on the photograph and the note that seemed to sear itself into her brain.“Karen,” he called out again, frantic, and he shook her shoulders aggressively, snapping her out of her daze. “What happened?” Karen's eyes remained fixed on the photo, tears streaming out. "This... this was in my drawer. It's Ashley,” her eyes clouded with fear as she gripped Adam's shoulder, her eyes screaming a silent plea for him to save her from this madness. “She's co... She's coming for me,” Karen whispered, listening to how crazy she sounded by voicing that out.“Shh…” Adam whispered back, pulling Karen into an embrace and pressing her head against his chest. “Ashley's dead. S
**Valerie**His brows furrowed, his forehead wrinkling, but he didn't say a word about it. “Good night, Val, I'll see you tomorrow." He planted a brief kiss on my forehead before getting into his car and driving off.***************************The sound of my phone ringing woke me up the next morning.“Still asleep?” I yawned, wiping my heavy eyelid with the back of my palm. “I'm awake now.”“Okay, I'm waiting,” Lucas's voice came out clearer this time.Waiting? I immediately sat up and jumped off my bed, my feet taking long strides towards the window.I got there just in time to see Lucas step out of his car and Calvin drive away with it. He leaned against my new car, his eyes shifting to my now-open window, and I blushed.“It'll take a while for me to get ready,” I pointed out.He did a small bow, making me chuckle. “At your service, milady.”I grinned, feeling the butterflies in my stomach churn. “Are you going to keep standing like that till I'm done?” “Don't worry, that's what
**Valerie**I opened the door and Lucas walked in. “You didn't really kill her, right?” I asked immediately, a little scared about what his answer would be. He just shrugged. “I didn't.” “So why did…” The words died in my mouth when I looked outside to see a sleek black Rolls Royce stop in front of my apartment, and Calvin stepped out of it. Then he walked over to where we were standing, and after exchanging brief pleasantries with me, he turned to Lucas and handed him a key.And in a moment, Calvin was gone as quickly as he came and without the car he'd come in.Lucas shifted his gaze to me before he winked. “Seems like you have two cars now,” he muttered, handing me the set of keys Calvin had just given him. “And this one would keep you safe should your enemies decide that a shootout is a better option this time.”What? This is about the attack? My mind reeled, a thousand thoughts trooping in. But damn!! "You bought me a Rolls Royce!?" He frowned a little, somewhat surprised at m
Chapter 76**Valerie**I sat on my couch, still feeling a bit shaken after the recent events. Matthew had called to let me know that he had a strong alibi at the time of death, and so it's all sorted out. But Lucas... What about him? Did he really have a hand in what happened to Layla? I shook my head, waving off the thought. And even though I've not known him for very long, he didn't strike me as someone who'd do that.Then again, he didn't strike me as someone who'd propose to a woman with his cock buried deep inside her. I pressed my palm against my warm cheeks as more thoughts about last night flooded my mind. *Should I put a ring on your finger?* That definitely wasn't a real proposal, right? People just don't propose so casually or... Do they? Standing to my feet, I paced the length of the room, my hands on my waist.Adam had proposed on a dinner date, though nothing too fancy. Friends on the table with Karen beckoning me to say yes.I rolled my eyes and gritted my teeth at
**Valerie**"At least it's good that she's dead now," Matthew said to me, his eyes glinting with a hint of satisfaction.I raised a surprised brow as I peered at him. "What do you mean?" I asked.His expression turned serious, his eyes clouding over. "I mean... it means your secret is safe," he muttered, his voice low and husky. “She was blackmailing you, and she wouldn't have been satisfied no matter how much you gave her.”Yeah, there's that part of not having to worry about my secret and all, but there was something about the way Matthew said it that sent shivers down my spine. Does he have a hand in her death?"Tell me you have nothing to do with it," I asked, my eyes locking onto his. I held my breath, anticipating his response, hoping he didn't do something as crazy as killing Layla just to protect my secret.His expression remained calm and composed, the sides of his lips curling into an amused smile.Then his features suddenly turned fierce, his eyes blazing with intensity as
**Lucas**A wave of frustration washed over me as I saw the fear etched into her eyes. Those beautiful eyes, unchanged."I'll come with you," she offered, but I shook my head, dismissing her suggestion."Take her home," I ordered Calvin, who now stood before me. "And then come pick me up.”Valerie's eyes seemed to widen with amusement at my statement. Maybe she was surprised that I won't be staying long at the station.I was only there for questioning after all. I didn't kill Layla.After a few tense minutes of watching her leave with Calvin, I climbed into the police van and headed to the station.At the station, the air was thick with the smell of stale coffee and worn leather. A row of wooden chairs lined one wall, occupied by a handful of people who looked like they'd been up all night.The officer led me to an interrogation room, its walls adorned with faded crime prevention posters. Two detectives sat at the table, their faces etched with stern expressions."Mr. Stone, thank you
**Valerie**Lucas placed his hand behind my neck, pulling me towards him as his lips crashed on mine, making me forget my question.The kiss was brief, and without warning, he lifted me like I weighed nothing and placed me in a sitting position on the bed. His knees dropped to the ground in front of me. “My mother said I've kept you waiting for too long.” His dark eyes filled with desire stared up at me.I swallowed, my mouth opening to respond, but before my words could come out, he ripped open the buttons of my nightgown. My bare body was exposed, open, and vulnerable to him as my nipples stared right at him. The way his eyes flickered through my body increased the hot throbbing sensation in my pussy. “Beautiful tits,” he muttered with a lust-filled gaze. More than anything, I wanted his lips on them, to feel how truly beautiful they were. To possess them and show me how much he appreciated them. But instead, his head found its way to between my legs. Starting from my inner thigh
**Third person**I sipped my coffee, my eyes locked onto Matthew's. “When I'm done with Karen, my parents are next.”Then my gaze shifted from him to somewhere beside his chair. “I need to know how my mom felt conspiring against her own daughter.” I sucked my teeth and wiped my face as a stray tear escaped from the side of my eye.“I wonder what it was like for her. Was it easy? Did she hesitate?” My chest tightened, and my voice came out in broken pieces. “Who knows, maybe she probably even brought up the idea. But still, I'd never understand why.”“Valerie,” Matt called out, placing a comforting palm on my shoulder. And from my tear-blurred eyes, I could see his jaw clench. “What good is having a family anyway? when all they do is betray and abandon you?”I shrugged, trying to seem unaffected even though it still hurt like yesterday. “Well, I'm fine now. That's all in the past. I don't have a family anymore.” I said, trying to keep my voice firm. He nodded and then gave my shoulder
**Valerie**I walked into the knitting club, scanning the room for the familiar faces. Then I spotted Frances and Grandma, chatting and clicking their knitting needles. A bright smile plastered on my face, and my heart swelled with emotion as I made my way over to them."Hey, girl!" Frances exclaimed, tapping on the seat beside her and gesturing for me to sit. "We were just talking about you; it's been a while.”“Yeah,” I smiled again, taking a seat beside them.Frances leaned towards me. “The getaway dick got you real good, didn't it?” She whispered into my ear.I sputtered a cough, almost choking on my own spit.My cheeks turned red with embarrassment, and my lips spread into a small cheesy smile as I recalled my conversation with her at the bar. I cleared my throat and then looked up to meet her expectant eyes. Ah... Guess that wasn't a rhetorical question.Then I equally leaned towards her. “Wasn't quite what I was expecting,” I confessed in a whisper.She gasped softly. “Wait… D
**Third person**“Today is the day you die,” Adam growled, his voice laced with venom as he walked towards his pregnant wife, Ashley.Ashley, whose back was facing him, turned to look at him. “Oh Adam, it's you.” She gave him a casual smile, clearly ignorant of what Adam had planned for the night. Then she shut her eyes briefly and took a relaxing breath, allowing the cold night breeze to brush her skin for a few seconds before opening them back.“The view here is wonderful, isn't it?” She pointed out. “It's really scary how the ocean can be so dark.” Today was her twenty-fifth birthday, and she'd decided to celebrate it on her luxurious ship with friends. The lighting on this side of the ship was dim, and so she missed the icy glare on Adam's face.Adam took a step towards her, a smirk plastered across his face. “I'm really glad you like the view, it would have been a shame if you didn't. Especially since this is the last view you'll ever enjoy.”“Oh, don't say that. We'll defini...
