My heart was pounding in my chest as I watched the snake crawl out of the box.“ Shit! Why the fuck did you take that box?" Antonio asked in anger as he tried to use a stick to push the snake back into the box but the snake hissed at him,“ Be careful you fucker," I said and he turned to me with a glare.“ Hurry up, it's getting away, do you want a snake hanging somewhere in the house?" I asked as I moved back. He finally pushed the snake into the box and as soon as it was inside I covered it, pressing the cover tightly as Antonio took the box from me. “ What a beautiful coincidence, a snake presented to a snake as a gift, this person sure knows you," he said mockingly before walking away. I could still feel my body shaking with fear as I looked around like a snake would suddenly appear.I noticed a small note on the floor which I guess must have fallen out from the box.I picked up the note and opened it.‘ I hope you like your gift Lillian, more is to come.’ The note read and I f
I woke up in bed with a groan as I picked my phone to check the time.Shit! I'm running late for work.I quickly sat up in bed but remembered that there was no work today because obviously I was on my honeymoon and I was in the same house with that woman.I climbed out of bed as I walked to the bathroom to have my shower.After the shower I got dressed and then walked out of my room. I needed coffee to start my day so I walked to the kitchen.As soon as I got to the kitchen I stopped in my tracks when I saw what was in front of me.“ What the fuck do you think you're doing?” I asked as I looked at the woman in front of me." Making breakfast, are you blind?” she asked as she turned to glare at me before turning back to the pancakes she was flipping.I'm surprised she even knows how to do anything in the kitchen. “ You know that's not what I'm talking about, why are you dressed like that?” I asked as my eyes went down the lingerie she had on. It barely left anything to the imagination
He pushed his tongue into my mouth but I bit him, yet that didn't stop him as he held my waist and pushed me closer.What was wrong with this man? He's always acting like he wants to kill me yet he was here kissing me the same way a man would kiss his lover.“ Get…” he swallowed whatever I was going to say as he bit my lips and without meaning to I moaned.That got me back to my senses real quick as I pushed him away from me and glared at him.“ Are you crazy or something?!" I asked in anger as I looked at him and he was smirking.“ I can't believe it, you looked like if I wanted to fuck you on the spot you wouldn't have minded, is that what you want, for me to fuck you?” he asked as he slowly wiped his lips like he was trying to wipe the trace of my lips on his.“ Not even in your wildest dream, come to think of it, I thought you swore never to touch me or does kissing not count as touching?" I asked as I folded my hands and that made my boobs push up a little but I didn't care, not
I sat down on the couch as I scanned through the channels for something to watch. I swear if that man tries anything funny, I'm going to do something worse.I could hear him getting busy in the kitchen while I just made myself comfortable. After all, he was the one that said I should relax since we were on our honeymoon. Believe me when I say I didn't take his words too seriously but I just knew that whatever it is he was planning would backfire.One thing I'm sure of is that he can't poison me. My parents know I'm here with him, so I'm safe. I found something to watch while I waited for whatever trick my husband was trying to play on me.The sweet smell of what he was making drifted through my nose and it smelt good. It smelt like he was making pasta. I laughed as I watched the comedy show on TV.“ The food is almost ready," He said from the kitchen." If you say so,” I muttered, not caring if he heard me or not. It took some time before I heard Antonio's footsteps as he walked to
Antonio changed into shorts as he carried a bag and then we both walked out of the house, locking the door.The walk to the beach was quiet but I didn't care, he didn't need to speak nor did I want to hear him speak.When we got to the beach I laid the blanket on the floor as I kept the basket with fruits in it and my cold drink. I was yet to remove the gown I had on, he's going to be shocked at what he'll see. He's going to regret what he did to me. I'm his wife whether he likes it or not, he asked for this, not me. I sat on the blanket as Antonio also sat down, ignoring me. Did he get married to me so he could ignore me? Well, the real show was yet to begin. I opened my chilled orange juice as I gulped it down then I covered it and dropped it back before I took one of the berries and popped it into my mouth moaning at the taste. That wasn't necessary but yeah. “ This tastes so good," I said as I threw my head back like I was talking of something else rather than the berries.I
“ Take it off! I said take it off!" I said as she pushed my hand away but I wasn't having it. “ No, leave me alone, there's nothing you can do about it, I want it and I'm taking it, leave me the fuck alone," she said as she tried to push past me but I blocked her path.“ What do you want from Antonio, why are you getting on my nerves?!" she asked, anger shining in her eyes.“ It's just a simple request, don't touch my things, you're touching what's mine and I don't like it," I said,“ What's yours is mine by marriage," she said and I scoffed,“ Marriage indeed," I said and she tried to push past but I pushed her back,“ For the last time, take off my shirt," I said,“ You fucking burnt all the lingeries and everything I could possibly wear, what do you want me to do? Walk around naked?” she asked and I raised a brow at her." Why do you suddenly sound like you care about that, weren't you the one throwing your tits in my face earlier today?” I said," Oh, now I see where this is goin
I walked outside the house as I looked around for Antonio but I didn't see him outside either. I decided to take a stroll around the beach. Maybe he went out for a walk or something. But after my little stroll, I still didn't see any sign of that God forsaken man. Why was I even looking for him? He could drown himself for all I care. I opened the house door as I walked in and I almost screamed until I recognized the person standing in front of me and looking at me like an alien. “ That was pretty fast," I said as I walked to him and hugged him, immediately feeling better than I had been since coming to this place. “ Where's your husband?" He teasingly asked, “ I don't know, don't ask me about that man," I said as I walked to the couch to sit down and he followed, “ What do you mean you don't know, did he leave you here?" Now that he mentioned it, what if that guy got tired of all our drama and decided to leave without telling me? “ I don't know but I was in my room when I
I didn't bother changing from what I was wearing because it was comfortable to sleep in, it was just one of my big shirts I changed into from the clothes Rodrigo brought for me. I drew the blanket up my body because for some reason it was very cold tonight and I knew it had everything to do with the fact that this was a beach house. I didn't turn off the lights because I find it hard to see at night so I leave the lights on so I can find my way to the bathroom, shit could get bad at night with my bad eyes. I couldn't sleep, I just kept staring at the ceiling. There was no way in hell I was missing that man. I've said it before and I'm going to say it again. The only thing I'm worried about is because I didn't want to be accused of anything in case something happens to him. I was still trying to sleep when suddenly, the lights went off and I jumped, quickly sitting up in bed. What the hell was that? What type of stupid Halloween stunt is Antonio trying to play on me? This
“By the power vested in me by God, I now pronounce you husband and wife…again,” the priest said and the congregation burst into laughter."You may kiss your bride,” the priest didn't even need to say it twice. Antonio leaned down as he claimed my lips in a hot kiss.I could hear Rodrigo and Leo whistling as Antonio hand held my waist pulling me closer but I had to quickly pull away although he didn't want to leave me.“People are watching babe," I said and he chuckled against my lips before pulling away.“I love you, I love you so much," he whispered as I looked into his eyes wondering how I got so lucky.I turned to the congregation and threw my bouquet and it fell on Rodrigo's lap. I couldn't help but laugh.“I don't even have a girlfriend," Rodrigo said with a groan and everyone burst into laughter. I felt so good and happy compared to the last time I and Antonio got married, I didn't even want to think about it. I turned my attention to my husband as I wrapped my arms around him
I woke up with an unbearable pain shooting up my shoulder and I groaned before trying to sit up but firm hands held me softly preventing me from standing up.“Hey, hey, there's no need to stress yourself, just rest,” I couldn't help but smile as I opened my eyes to see my husband's eyes staring at me with concern,"Am I in heaven?” I whispered, my voice barely above a whisper, and he chuckled but quickly stopped himself as a frown took over his face."Why are you so stubborn?” he said with a sigh as he took my hand and dropped a kiss. “I couldn't just hide and let you face them alone, I needed to be there for you, remember we have to do everything together," I said as I tried to raise my hand to touch his face but I couldn't.“Stop trying to do anything, just rest, okay?” he said as he brushed his fingers through my hair."What about…" my chest tightened as I thought about how everything that had been happening to me has been my mother's doing, and no matter what she did a part of me
'NO!! Lilly!!'Time froze as I heard the sound of the trigger being pulled. My heart stopped, waiting for the deafening bang that would end everything. But... nothing. There was no shot.Lilly stood there trembling, her breath shallow, but alive."How? Why the fuck is there no bullet in my gun?!" Veronica Lilly's mother screamed, frantically checking the weapon in her hands.That was the moment my wife snapped back to her senses. With strength I hadn't seen in her before. Lilly pushed her mother with a force so fierce it sent Veronica sprawling to the ground. But there was no time to celebrate her bravery.The man holding Rodrigo down reacted instantly, lifting his gun and firing at Lilly. She ducked just in time, the bullet narrowly missing her.Everything descended into chaos.The door burst open, and the reinforcements I had been waiting for finally stormed in.“Get down!" one of the officers shouted, his gun trained on Adrian.Adrian froze for a moment, his wild eyes darting aroun
The room became dead silent and it was like everyone held their breath as I turned to Lilly before turning to Rodrigo..“Stay here," I said and was about to stand up but Lilly held my hand shaking her head.“I heard that there was a party here and I brought friends," a familiar voice said from outside and I turned to Lilly who had her eyes wide in shock,“She followed you," she mouthed as she stood up before turning around in confusion and I held her hand stopping her. I knew I was going to be followed but I didn't know who was going to follow me. I didn't know that Lilly's mother was the mastermind behind everything but I knew that someone might have been watching me in case my wife was alive so I had everything planned out.“Do you trust me Lilly?" I said as I held her shoulders trying to calm her down from how panicked she looked. “She's out there Antonio, there's no way out of this, she's going to kill us," she said as her eyes welled up in tears but I shook my head.“Rodrigo do
Thank God she was alive. My wife was alive. The thought of it made me smile but I had to remind myself that I made a promise. I couldn't let anyone know that she was alive, if she was telling me to keep it a secret there must be a reason. I took a breath trying to calm myself down before I opened a room door and walked out of the room, closing the door behind me.The house was quiet as everyone was sleeping. I quietly climbed down the stairs not wanting to make any noise as I made my way to the door but just as I was about to walk out the house, I heard a noise and stopped. I slowly turn only to be met with Lilly's mother. She yawned as she looked at me with half asleep half awake eyes.“Why are you still up son?” she asked, her voice filled with concern."I just wanted to go out for a drive, I don't feel good being in here without my wife, this house reminds me of her so much," I said with a sigh and she moved close to me and then without warning she hugged me. “I know how you fee
Sleep felt foreign to me, I couldn't sleep, couldn't bring myself close to my eyes. The hollowness in my chest was one that could only be filled by my wife's presence. I turned from the balcony to the bed wishing that I would see her sitting on the bed and everything was just a terrible nightmare. But it wasn't, she wasn't on the bed nor did I know where she was. I have long silenced the voice that was telling me to just give up that my wife was dead. I couldn't give up, I had to keep hoping, praying that she was alright, that I'll find her. I closed my eyes as I did a silent prayer hoping that God would be merciful to me and bring me my wife. I wasn't the best person, yet I still wasn't the worst. I turned away from the balcony as I walked into the room towards the bed. My eyes were heavy but sleep was a luxury I couldn't afford. Sleep had cost me my wife. I rubbed my head burying my face in my hands. “Lilly, why would you do this to me? Why would you walk into danger? Didn't

It's been two days—two days without my wife and I didn't want to believe what they told me, I didn't want to believe that my wife could be dead.I felt hollow, lifeless—like a man whose soul has been ripped out of him. She couldn't be gone. I didn't want to accept that I'll never see her face again.But the words of the officers kept ringing in my head and it was horrifying to think she might have died in the explosion. But there was no corpse. She was alive somewhere out there, maybe she was even scared and alone. I don't know.I rubbed my face with a sigh. This is all my fault, if I had been awake like a caring husband should, I would have noticed when she left, but instead I was sleeping while my wife would have been out there fighting for her life. The police were still looking for the person who might have sent that message to my wife. They were able to get a hold of her phone and she had left because her best friend's life was in danger. I don't know if I should be jealous that
I stood up as a silent determination filled me, my wife could be in there and they were stopping me from going to get her, I didn't care that I was going to get hurt—I didn't care that I was going to die, all I wanted was to see her.I looked to my left to see one of the officers looking distracted as they searched around. Leo seemed to be in shock, it was the perfect opportunity.I bolted, running towards the side of the building that the fire hadn't reached, I wasn't thinking, but I didn't care.“Antonio!" Leo called, his voice filled with fear as he ran after me, but I didn't stop. But just before I could throw myself into the building, I was pushed once again to the ground and right in time before the flame falling from the burning house could fall on us.“Why are you fucking stopping me?! Let me go! If they can't go in there, I can! My wife…my wife!” I choked out as Leo dragged me away from the building. “Listen Antonio, I know how you feel, but going into that fire isn't going
