*** RAVEN ***

It was an eight-hour flight. When I arrived at the mansion, the first thing I went to was our bedroom. I checked her closet and half were taken, leaving the glamorous gowns and cocktail dresses. There were expensive bags and high-heeled shoes. Like she only took the comfortable ones. Her jewelry? She didn’t take much of it. Like she hasn't taken all of the ones that I bought and designed for her.

I went to bed because I knew that’s where she was going to leave a letter. A red envelope was waiting with the rings over it. I glanced at the maid whom I assigned to assist Hyacinth… waiting outside on the open door. I slid the rings into my pocket as I opened the document. There’s a letter on the envelope. I open it and read it before going to another document.

Raven,

I don’t know why you marry me. But I don’t want to be drawn into you again. I had enough of the pain from the past. It hurts… so much. Also, do not blame your staff. I drugged them so I could escape. Don’t find me

    ****HYACINTH****It’s been ten months. After I resigned from the company, I became a full-time writer. I got used to living in a two-story cabin. I have been taking care of the mini vegetable garden. I also rarely go out unless I am out of food. I somehow received a lot of money from the first book that I published. I was happy living life alone, away from social media and people who gave me pain. I managed to communicate with my best friend through my number. After months of not contacting her, she scolded me. She was so worried and told me everything that happened after five months of disappearing. Raven, which she mentioned as my ‘husband’. He’s been around her many times, and he has had men follow her just to track her. But I bet if she ever had a stalker, they would be bored of her. She's a laid-back person just like me. She would rather sleep than go out with people she doesn't know much. They probably got tired. I managed to break contact with them for ten months. Surely, my

    ***Hyacinth***When I woke up to buy groceries, it was gloomy. The news was all about a typhoon coming, and it was a good thing that I bought groceries. Yet I didn’t have enough budget to cover everything. And Raven came out of nowhere. I started with the typhoon guard on each window as I peeked at Raven, who was still in his car. His window rolled down as the strong wind entered his car.After the renovation of the cabin, my grandmother had typhoon guards ready on each window and door. The cabin had concrete walls and wooden porches. It was the most beautiful place that I ever had. I felt bad for making Raven stay there for four hours and it was already dark. The rain poured together with strong wind. He finally moved his car closer and went to the terrace with his bag. He stayed by the bench. I rolled my eyes. I should have told him to just leave. I ignored him and started to cook with some soup. I shouldn’t care about him again but I couldn’t leave my ex-husband there. In the po

  • Forced to Marry My Stepbrother   14. In a Humble Cabin

    ****** Raven ******I made sure that the locks were in good condition including the typhoon guard. I had so many thoughts on how to create a typhoon guard with just a remote control. I checked the logs on the chimney and I know that those logs aren't enough. So, I headed out, fishing my car keys and hers. I set the cars in the garage-like barn. Once I settled it, I took out more woods where she stocked most in the same area. Some woods were outside and already wet. I searched for a plastic bag… something that would cover it. There, I found a sack and put more logs into it as I headed back to the terrace. I opened the door when I noticed a light behind me. I turned to see a car pulled into the driveway. “Hyacinth?” A man came out in a waterproof coat and boots. He approached me and looked at him. We had the same height or rather, I am a few centimeters taller. He seemed to be puzzled seeing me. “Oh, hi good evening. Is Hyacinth there?” His accent isn't that bad. It’s almost like an A

  • Forced to Marry My Stepbrother   1. Hyacinth

    HyacinthI felt like my stomach was in tight knots. As the gigantic door from the church opened, the bell rang… a wedding… The dress was tight… but it was perfectly fit. I hesitated to step forward, but the wedding planner gestured for me to go on. I started walking slowly, and in the middle was my father. The bastard father that sold me off to save the company. It wasn’t me who was supposed to marry but Rosie. I heard that it was an old man that I was marrying. Rosie, my half-sister whom my father cherished so much, ran off. I was dragged by my father’s men to be in this wedding. Here, thinking that I was marrying an old guy… but to my surprise, someone I hadn’t seen in a while was standing in a white suit. I had a glimpse of my father gritting his teeth in a smile. “Don’t embarrass me, Hyacinth.” My lips pressed, and the pain of being an embarrassment to my father was still there although I should be numb from it. “Marrying your former step-brother isn’t that bad. You were clos

    HyacinthWe left the reception. A man whom I didn’t know was driving a limousine to wherever he was taking us. Raven was resting on the reclined chair while I looked vulnerable in the other corner, watching the lights outside. I hugged myself, feeling cold. A phone rang and Raven pulled it out from his pocket and answered it. “Yes?” Raven sat up and reached his forehead. “Damn it. I’ll be there tomorrow. Please handle it.” He hung up. I quickly looked away as he chuckled and sat behind me. He snaked his arms around mine and shoved his face to my neck. “I'm Sorry that I didn’t pay attention to you. I was busy.” I ignore him. I need to. He will get tired and leave me be. “You haven’t eaten anything tonight, so a dinner in our house will be perfect.” “I’m not hungry.” “You are not. Stop pretending, Hyacinth. Your father just starved you. I just saved you from your family.” “What?” I creased my brows and turned to him. “Save me?” I pushed him. My blood just went up straight to my he

    “Hya,” He lowered his head at me. I don’t want to say a single thing. I realized that the way he lowered himself for me made me still feel small. He was bulky. Darcy said that he’s eighteen but from his height. He could be mistaken as twenty-five. “Hey, why are you quiet?” I stared at those eyes… from the post light, I could tell that they must be blue or green. I looked down at the dessert plate in my hand as he pulled out something from his pocket. He lifted a flipped keypad phone. “Here,” I held out my hand as he placed it there. “Call me if you are in trouble.” “What will I do with this? This is outdated.” “It is.” He grinned. I opened it and it had a hyacinth flower as wallpaper. “See? Hyacinth is my favorite flower. You’ll be my favorite girl now.” I frowned at him. Favorite girl? What am I? A toy?“You are weird.” I checked it and it has contact numbers. “My mom’s number is there. Also, my new number on my new phone is there as well.” “But why are you keeping this?” I

    *** Raven *** We were young and horny. I remembered well that those times of protecting her as her brother became my duty. Now as a husband, I will make sure that she has everything she wants, needs, and even the things she doesn’t want. I will provide it. I will spoil her rotten. The millions that I inherited from my deceased father after working my ass off to build my own business from scratch was worth it. I wasn’t that rich when I created my own company. I had my friend’s support after my father died. I received all of his wealth and a few for my mother and nothing for the mistress that baby-trapped him.Hyacinth’s asshole father just sold her quickly to me, protecting the golden daughter. I scoffed at the thought of marrying that liar. Hyacinth grows well and beautiful. She looked healthy, probably after she moved out from her father’s house. I loved the way she looked in the negligee a while ago. She was now sleeping peacefully after a lot of orgasms that I gave. I noticed th

    ***** Hyacinth *****I sniffled and wiped my tears. “I have the original copy of the documents you need.” He handed the documents. “How did you get my email?” “Through your step-mom. Miss Darcy.” I froze as I stared at his teal eyes. He doesn’t seem to be lying. And I wasn’t staring at his gorgeous eyes because he’s good-looking, but the fact that he knows Darcy as my stepmother and now my mother-in-law, Raven’s mother. “She did?” “Yes,” He nodded. “We happened to visit your family residence and Miss Darcy happened to pass by your residence and approach us. Have you spoken to her?” I shook my head as I sniffled. She wasn’t even at the wedding. “Here’s my calling card. Call me if you need something. I am willing to help you.” “You looked young to take care of this case.” I was curious. If it was years ago, I was an infant… How is he handling my grandmother and mother’s assets?“Actually, my father was your mother’s lawyer. He was partially retired.” He explained shortly with t

    *** Hyacinth***I waited for a few seconds before he answered. “Of course,” He answered casually, took out a cigarette, and searched for a lighter. “You need to get out if you smoke near me,” I said coldly and turned my head to the window again. I heard his chuckle and he sighed after. “I’m sorry,” I felt his hand on my hair, gently stroking it with his fingers. “I won’t smoke again.” “I don’t care, Raven,” I said coldly. “Rosie will be working in the company, that’s why she’s back.” He said out of nowhere.I don’t know what to say. I knew that. She’s the Queen in that company anyway. “Hyacinth,” His voice was deep as I heard him exhaling. “Why won’t you work in the company? I’ll give you a higher position and any position you want.” “Higher position?” I scoffed. “Higher position had a lot of work to do.” “Most higher positions mostly pass work to lower positions.” he chuckled. “Rosie already named a position for herself.” I turned my head to see his smirk. “What is it?” “C

    ***Hyacinth***“Raven, did you get rid of her?” David asked which caught my attention. I looked around and didn’t see Rosie anywhere. But as soon as Raven sat down, he already smelled like her perfume which I hated. His hand was on my thigh. I pushed it away, feeling uneasy. I was about to relax when I felt his lips move to my earlobe. “Hyacinth. I just got rid of your sister… so don’t ever stop me from touching you.” He whispered. If he only knew that my stomach was near my throat. I felt sick to the stomach. Raven was showing me that he and Rosie…“Your sister is beautiful,” David said as I looked up at him. “Is she the heiress of Dawson?” Just as I expected, everyone is allured by her. I wouldn’t be surprised that one day, they will turn their backs on me or they will start talking about me when I have my back at them. I smiled at David’s comment, plastering all of my emotions and my pain. I shouldn’t get hurt whenever Raven speaks to my sister. But I couldn’t help it. After a

    ** Hyacinth ** I stood there for what seemed forever. My eyes focus on him. I don’t know why I am still hurt. Why did he tell me to meet him at the club and meet his friends? Why was Rosie there? Why was he letting her touch him? I shouldn’t feel jealous. I shouldn’t get angry, but my heart is about to burst.Does he still love her? I don’t understand now. I felt trapped in this marriage. I was finally back from wondering when Raven stood. His face was serious and he pushed Rosie. He approached me and reached my hand but I gently pushed it. “Hyacinth.” His voice was deep. “Let's talk later. Your sister… you can tell her to leave.” I furrowed at him. He’s talking nonsense again. “Who am I to tell her that?” I chewed my lower lip as I tried hard not to cry. No. I shouldn’t cry. I am over him. “Wife,” He pulled my waist closer but I looked away. He reached my chin and lifted it closer to his serious face. “You own the club now. I told you, my friends.” What the hell? Own the club?
