Marcus scrutinized the lovely, innocent woman seated next to him. He admired her ability to switch from clean to dirty thoughts in a split second while maintaining her innocence. He hadn't said much, but she thought she knew exactly what he was thinking.

Nera swallowed hard, trying to come up with the right words to get out of the sticky situation for the second time in a row.

"I... can't," she said quietly.

"How can you refuse something I didn't ask for?" Marcus smiled.

Near looked at him, puzzled, before turning away.

"I'm not that type of person," she added, her gaze fixed on the outside. "You must have understood our earlier encounter," she added.

"No, you are that kind of person," he replied. "In fact, you are perfect."

Nera turned to face the man, her nostrils flaring. She was tempted to slap the living snot out of him. Her expression turned brisk and businesslike. It looked like he had mistaken her for a prostitute that he could just call for sex whenever he felt like it.

    Nera clenched her fist, ready to punch anyone who was going to say the next stupid thing."What are you going to do? Punch me?" Greg's mother asked, noticing Nera's stance."She wouldn't dare!" Nicole spoke up, holding her armsNera studied the two; they were holding hands like some stupid family. Greg's mother was supposed to be on her side and not with the woman who her son cheated with.She was the victim, but the woman was looking at her with so much spite."You have no shame, sleeping with old men? Was it for money?" Nicole asked, making sure she was audible for the customers in the restaurant. "Does Greg pay you when you two are fucking?" Nera finally found the words. She was not going to let them bully her when it was they who were not supposed to be ashamed of themselves.Greg realized things were going to escalate. The entire restaurant was watching them. He stepped in quickly and asked the three women to calm down, but his mother and Nicole had other plans.His mother pushe

    Nera took in her surroundings before turning to face Marcus, who was kneeling in front of her. The entire restaurant was watching them, waiting for the drama to unfold. Nera couldn't decide whether to scream or flee the restaurant, but Greg, his mother, and Nicole's rage was entertaining to watch.It was as if she was giving them their own medicine and putting an end to their infliction of pain on her.She blinked. "Inflicting pain on others before they inflict it on you," Marcus's words, who now had a pleading face, kept running through her mind.She had nothing to lose; with just a high school certificate and gossip of her fucking an old man all over town, no respectable young bachelor was ever going to settle for her. She had no future, her reputation was ruined, and she knew the second she was going to walk out of the restaurant, Greg's mother was going to make her life a living hell.Her reply to the old man kneeling before her was going to determine her future."Nera!" The old

    "No no, stop it!" Nera yelled at him.Marcus smiled a bit confused"Stop looking at me like that?" She yelled looking away."Looking at you like what?" He asked, moving closer to her, even though he knew exactly what she was talking about."Stop! Do not move!" She ordered.Marcus chuckled, "Mrs. Rashwell, calm down, this is a public place and I can not do anything to your body," he teased, a smile evident on his face.Nera quickly looked around, the assistant was still in the room watching the two with knee interest.Marcus noticed she was uncomfortable, forcing him to excuse the assistant. Now it was just the two of them.He got closer to her and grabbed her hands."Remember what I said: hurt them before they hurt you, and you are free to turn back whenever you are uncomfortable," he whispered."But this is all too fast, and we do not know each other," she pointed out. "And my Uncle... my uncle will kill me," she exclaimed, laughing.Marcus smiled. "We have one thing in common," he r

    Nera noticed uncle Luke's eyes towards the cabinet and quickly ran there, barricading it. Her uncle followed suit and ordered her to get out of his way."Uncle calm down, I will explain," Nera replied."I am only going to allow you to explain if you agree that that old fool," he stated pointing at Marcus, "forced you to marry him!" Marcus maintained his stance near the doorway, waiting to be allowed in the house. He understood the man had the right to be mad and was prepared to endure all the insults thrown at him."No he did not uncle," Nera replied."Then get out of my way!" Luke yelled."Calm down and lets all seat down and discuss this like adults!" Marcus finally spoke up."Shut up!" Uncle Luke yelled at him.Nera quickly signaled Marcus to step outside, "please I will call you in when he calms down," she urged.Uncle Luke gritted his teeth and watched as Marcus walked out of the house."How old is he?" He askedNera scratched her head embarrassed knowing very well that Marcus w

    Nera slowly opened her eyes; her entire body felt funny. The strange pills she'd taken had a strange aftereffect that made some parts of her body feel funny, or it could have been the sex marathon her new husband had subjected her to.Her husband had made love to her for the entire night. Even though her body was tired, she did not want him to stop. The man was a beast in bed, and at one point she was sure he was going to tear her apart.She slowly lifted her body off the bed and looked over to his side of the bed. Marcus was fast asleep, snoring.Her uncle snored too, though it was louder. She could only guess the snoring came with age, and she was going to be subjected to that for the rest of her life, she wondered. Most people learned about such little vices in courtship but for them, it was a different story, they were going to start learning about their flaws after their marriage.She got up, dragging her body to the door on her left, which one could only assume was the bathroom

    Nera walked with a frown all the way to the plain fields. She didn't recall them sitting down and discussing whether or not they wanted children, but now he was bringing it up and blaming her.She didn't mind having children, but as a couple, they needed to discuss it."Nera," Marcus said as he ran after her. "I apologize for sounding like a jerk," he said, grabbing her hand."That's how you sounded," she replied, averting her gaze. "Aren't we supposed to talk about it first?"Marcus took a deep breath. "Of course, but I just assumed you'd fall pregnant naturally," he explained. "It's not like are on birth control?" He continued.Nera looked up at him, she could still sense the blaming game."Or is there a problem?" He asked"No, of course not," she replied."You are not on birth control, right?" He insisted.Nera turned pissed: "You honestly think if I was on pills, I would not have told you?" She yelled at him.Marcus quickly held her hands, apologizing. His overthinking was ruining

    The room heated up as the couple stared at each other, waiting for the other person to speak, but they both knew they had to watch what they said next.Nera sat on the bed. She didn't mean to sound provocative or anything. All she wanted was to make a suggestion that they change their strategy if they wanted to have a baby."I asked you a question, Nara.""I took a pregnancy test, and it came back negative," she quickly changed the subject.There was more silence in the room as Marcus stared at her, confused rather than disappointed. He was certain she was pregnant this time. The sex they were having was too much for her not to get pregnant "I…thought…I thought we were supposed to do the test together?" He asked."I couldn't wait; I am sorry," Nera cried out. "I think we are doing something wrong, and that's why I mentioned the sex pills," she explained.Marcus brushed his hands in his hair as he took a seat next to her. Though he did not want to admit it, he felt like she was right;

    Nera walked the hospital corridor, her heart heavy. It would have been easier for her if Marcus was with her and the doctor did the tests on them both, which would have removed the burden of her telling him.She did not know how to tell him the good news that would be bad news to him. She grabbed her phone out of her bag, checking for any messages or missed calls from him, but she found none. She had expected him to call her for any progress, but there was nothing.She was about to call the driver when a familiar voice got her attention. She looked up, and her eyes landed on Nicole. She was yelling at Greg, who looked like he was wishing for the ground to swallow him.But it was Nicole's large pregnancy that piqued Nera's interest. She was heavily pregnant and had put on a lot of weight.Nicole raised her gaze to meet Nera's piercing gaze fixed on her belly. She smiled, holding her belly tighter. Greg lifted his eyes and noticed Nera's flaming eyes.Nicole quickly grabbed Greg's han

    Nera froze in horror. Texas was too big for Elijah to find her address in a single day.She was asleep and it was all a nightmare, he couldn't have guessed the right address. Someone must have told him, but she doubted Frank did. Now that she thought about it, she never told Frank either."Stay in here; I will handle this man to man," Frank said, asking her to lock the door.He walked downstairs and found Elijah spinning little Aria around who was giggling in excitement."Put her down!" Frank yelled.Elijah frowned and put the little girl down."Let's talk outside," Frank ordered."I am here for Nera and not you," Elijah politely replied."This will only take a second unless you are not a man and scared of a little talk," Frank stated.Elijah chuckled and led the way outside.Nera walked downstairs and ordered Sam to take Aria upstairs while she locked the door. She did not have time for the two fools, though she was curious to know what they were talking about so she stayed in the k

    "How did you get in without knocking?" Uncle Luke got up, irritated. "Nera, talk to me!" Frank ignored him. "Are you carrying my baby?" He was at the door and about to knock when he heard the word "abortion."Nera looked away, irritated."Nera, you cannot abort my child! You cannot punish the unborn child for my mistakes," he began pleading with her."It's not your baby," Nera replied without thinking. She wanted him out of the house. He had no right to listen in on a private conversation.She walked up to him and folded her arms."You were not the only one that I was fucking in that house!" She yelled at him.Frank felt a sharp pain in his heart as he moved a step backward. He had tried to ignore the fact that Nera was fucking Elijah too but it looked like she wanted to hurt him it.Uncle Luke stared at Nera out of words and decided to walk out of the house. All the anger he had intended to throw Frank out of the house with, vanished. He was tired of the drama and just wanted to go

    Uncle Luke finally came to his senses as he breathed in and out. His hand was covered in blood from the punches he had landed.He looked at Frank, whose face was also covered in blood and still in a kneeling position.Nera had her hands over her mouth in shock. Everything was happening so fast.Greg quickly pulled Uncle Look out of the room and told Nera to close the door in order to prevent Sam and Aria from entering the room.Nera thanked him and closed the door.Frank was still motionless on his knees."Are you okay?" Nera asked, not sure what to say."I am fine, Nera," he replied.Nera walked to the bathroom and grabbed a towel for him."Would you get up from the floor?" She instructed."How can I get up when I am still trying to tell you the other side of my story?" He asked."Frank, you are hurt!" She yelled at him, irritated."Not as hurt as the feeling in my heart," Frank replied. "To be honest, I did not feel the punches. The pain is in my heart, and I am not leaving until yo

    A week elapsed, with Nera spending most of her days in her room. The crying stopped days ago, and usually, she just stared out the window.The window that she had jumped out of the night of her wedding which eventually led to her meeting Marcus.The door opened, and Sam ran in excitedly."Mommy, Mommy, JR will be here," he said.Nera smiled. She was only glad the horror happened when her two children were too young to understand anything."Is this the new friend you made?" She asked."Yes, his father wants to take us to see the horse rides," he said.Aria ran into the room too. "Mom, I want to go too," she said."I do not think..." Nera tried to speak, but Sam interrupted her."His father says he knows you, and if you want, you can tag along," he said."What?""Please, Mom, let us go," Aria began pulling on her.Uncle Look walked into the room."Let them go; JR is a nice kid," he said."You know this boy? Who are his parents?" She asked.Uncle Luke cleared his throat. "Yes, JR has bee

    Nera slowly opened her eyes. A white ceiling was staring back at her, and she could tell she was not in hell yet, though she would have preferred it."Nera, thank God you are finally awake!" Uncle Luke rushed to her side.Nera looked around, surprised that he was in Georgia."Uncle Luke," she whispered."Yes, dear, it's me. I came as fast as I could when I received a call from that nurse," he said, holding her hand."Aria…Sam?" She asked."They are with the nanny; I called her too," he explained.Nera closed her swollen eyes."According to the nurse, you fainted when you read the DNA results," he asked. "Whose DNA results are they?"Nera was quiet; she did not have the energy or will to explain the horror she found out, and that was why she had hoped to have woken up in hell."Nera, please talk to me; I am your uncle, and I promise I will not get mad," he said to her.Nera opened her eyes. "Take me to Texas; I will do something stupid if I stay in this place longer," she requested."

    Frank and Ireen sat in the garage in silence. They heard the gate open and a car driving in and out, and they knew it was Nera leaving. Frank was supposed to run after her and tell her his side of the story, but he had no energy to get up. His entire world was crushed in front of him. He never expected Nera to find out about the contract, and even if she did, he pictured an environment where he sat her down peacefully and told her everything himself. But seeing how she attacked him and the hurt in her eyes, it numbed him down. "You have to get up, Frank," Ireen said, breaking the silence. Somehow she was relieved the woman got to know about the contract, even though she did not like how she discovered it. Now they needed to start planning for the aftermath. There was a slim chance Nera was going to press charges, but she was a scorned woman, so anything was possible. "You need to call your lawyer and get ready," she replied. Frank looked up at her. "Is she ever going to forg

    Nera's stomach contracted into a tight ball as a wave of acid welled up from her belly. Her eyes were completely dry; she had cried already, and there were no tears left.She grabbed the phone from Elijah and played the recording again. This time, memories came flooding back of how difficult it was for her and Marcus to have a child.It had taken Marcus a long time to take a test, and even when he got the results, they tried, but she did not get pregnant. He refused to adopt or for her to undergo artificial insemination.He insisted on having Rashwell blood and kept insisting they make a baby the natural way. Then they went to Alabama, and he came with the beetroot herb and the sex drugs.The sex became hot; it was different, but she thought it was the herb because she was slow in the head, and she finally got pregnant. But after they found out that Sam was allergic to dairy products, they tried to have a child again and failed. Every test came out negative until Frank showed up. Mar

    Without warning, Ireen landed a hard slap on Nera's face and screamed in frustration.She did not move, and neither did she flinch."Don't you have some dignity?" Ireen yelled. "What will your children think of you? What explanation would a mother give to her children when she brought them into a stranger's house to have a good fuck?" Nera kept her eyes fixed on the floor in silence."You couldn't even leave them with a relative, but you brought those innocent kids for your prostitution rides!"Nera finally looked up, her hands clenched into fists. Her breathing became rigged, and she was tempted to punch the woman in the face, but it took all her might to control herself.Ireen paused her words for a second."I will ask you, woman to woman, mother to mother, please leave. If you really love my son, then free him and let him go," she begged, getting on her knees.Nera moved away in confusion; she was not expecting to see the woman on her knees considering how she had stormed into th

    Nera could hear her own heartbeat as the woman began moving closer to her. Even though the two never met, Nera had seen photos of Ireen, and she knew what the woman looked like.And from the way she was looking at her, she could tell she was not there for a friendly visit.Frank quickly grabbed Ireen's hand before there were any confrontations."Let go of my hand now," Ireen yelled."Mom, calm down. What are you doing?" Frank asked her, his eyes searching for the presence of Shelby."Please, Mom, not here; Shelby is home," he pleaded with her.Ireen looked at her son, who was breathing heavily, then at Nera, who averted her eyes. "Mommy, I am hungry," a little girl said as she walked from the kitchen. "Mommy, come and finish making the porridge," she said, pulling on Nera.Nera's eyes were fixed on the floor, she did not move or flinch. She thought she had prepared for the day she would meet Ireen but she was wrong.Aria looked up at Ireen."Uncle Frank, who is that?" She askedIreen
