42. THREATS
Last Updated:
2024-06-11 00:00:14All through the weekend I was just floating over everything.
Maybe even I was to blame.
Yes, I did not try to include myself in all the planned activities.
In the pool I just sat on the chairs fully dressed because there was no way I was wearing a swimsuit in front of my sister’s and Damon always being a few feet from me.
I hated that the girls thought it was cute, making jokes about my guard when I was actually in hell. He didn't say anything, never got closer but just stared at me intensely. I could feel the smirk on his face and it killed me.
He made me feel naked and disgusted. I couldn’t help chills constantly jolting my body. It was like he was mocking me. His words kept coming back to mind, the insu

I ran out of the elevator and through the passage.Anything the guards said to me went unheard. I unlocked the door and ran to the bathroom where I emptied everything I ate that morning. My hands grabbed on the seat as I poured vomit out while sobbing.The picture kept coming to my mind and I threw up even more with burning tears flowing down my cheeks. I had never felt so violated in my life. Maggots crawled up my skin and at one point I couldn't help stretching.A hand came at my hair, pulling my head back.“Get yourself together.”I shook Damon’s hold away, pushing him but he gripped my head even tighter.“Clean yourself and get a hold of yoursel

I screamed and jolted out of my seat, my hand swinging to defend myself from the hand that had grabbed my shoulder. I swung my barely folded fists a few times before I stumbled and tripped on my feet. A hand grabbed me but I screamed and jumped back, putting much space between us.I hit the lamp switch so fast, wide eyes falling on Storm.He could never understand the fear in me.My hand flew to my rabid heart, nearly tearing from the arteries.I couldn’t even talk and when did it get so dark?Storm raised an eyebrow which drew my eyes to the bruise at the corner of his eye.“Oh my, what happened?”&

“What do you want?”I sighed. It had been a long day. It felt like years ago when I had been in the hospital.Worse thing, I had no recollection of what happened after I came back to the office.“Chinese.”Storm said nothing back and I just sat beside him. I realized there were a few inches between us and ate those few inches up until I was glued to his side.“I know a place downtown sir, are you okay with me making the reservation? It’s friendly.” Amar suddenly said with my eyes moving to him.Storm nodded his head and Amar didn’t waste time calling for a secluded table.

“Hi Ma’am, there is Gwen from procurement and Sandra from security.” Kimberly’s voice popped from the receiver.I pressed the button, “let them through.”Guilt washed over me.It seemed like years since we had talked. I could recall a few calls from them and texts but the previous day was all vague for me.The door opened, Kimberly walking in, letting them in.“Can I get you all something to drink?” My friends were too shocked to even answer.“No Kimberly, thank you, you can go for lunch.” I said, seeing my friends carrying paper bags from the canteen.“Brandy gi
Last Updated : 2024-06-15HIS SECRET WIFE 47. WAY FORWARD?
We were going to an island! A private island all to ourselves! We could hardly work as we planned in our group chat. After work my friends would pick me up and we would go shopping in preparation for our trip and the next morning I had asked and they had come to pick me up again. Of course, a couple of miles from the house. It finally looked like there was light at the end of the tunnel. Not seeing Damon for two days made me feel as if I could get through this. The worry, the stress all took a back seat as I worked and daydreamed about our trip in my free time. My head snapped straight to the time when my phone pinged. Five right on the dot. I grinned, picking my phone. Sandra: Come down, we parked in the street. Brandy: Coming I quickly packed my bag, looking forward to a night in. I would try as hard as I could to not work but maybe catch a movie, cuddling on Storm’s side of the bed. Guilt slid its ugly head as I thought of him. I hadn’t told him about the trip. I woul
Last Updated : 2024-06-15HIS SECRET WIFE 48. FINAL STRAW
Shaking hands wrapped around my torso, standing by the door as I had an hour ago. I was late for work, I knew I should leave but I couldn’t leave. My friends had called an hour ago, but I never picked up. The pain made me numb from everything else but it. It burned hard yet I didn’t dare cry. I had cried enough. A knock came at the door, making me jump. “Ma’am, it’s Benjamin, are you okay, you are late for work?” I heard him say something to the guard at the door. “Ma’am, are you okay?” His voice seemed laced with concern that could fool anyone but me. “She is not picking up her phone. Do you have a key? What if something happened? She wasn't feeling well yesterday.” Whether I stood there or not, Benjamin would get in apparently. I stepped forward, swallowing. I opened the door, coming face to face with him. Concern was written all over his face. “Ma’am?” The guard at the door questioned, also concerned. My mouth was dry and I had no words. I just be

Brandy: We are going to that club tonight. I danced around the room despite the pain in my center. The bottle I had passed out drinking was still in hand, half way through. Music blurred through the speakers, as loud as it could get, nearly bleeding my ears. I stumbled about, bending over which turned to be a bad idea. Vomit rose up to my chest from the pain that shot through. But still, I slipped my feet into the sneakers while I was still naked. Another song played and I screamed. Only the scream brought tears forward. They ran down my face as I screamed even harder then I stopped. I chugged the whisky back and stumbled forward.“I am going to party. Whoooo!”I turned from the buzz of my phone. I stared at the screen. It was ten at night and my friends were already queuing outside the club. Oohh shit. I rushed to take my bag then placed the alcohol on the table before swiping a knife and slipped it in my bag. Then I recalled my nakedness so I ran back to the closet to pull on a

“Ya first time here?” I corked my head up to the driver, nodding my head slightly which sent sharp pain through my skull. He asked a few more questions but gave up from the lack of a reply. My mouth was burning, my head hammering and body aching badly. I felt weak, queasy, and seriously unwell. The flight had made matters worse, nine hours of absolute hell and I had vomited all through it. “Just a few minutes away.” The man’s voice was hitting the nail in the coffin. I was afraid I would vomit again but I had nothing more in me and my pipes burned from all the gagging. The car slowed down. I pulled my bag, pulling out a few notes to pay the driver. My hands pulled the paper bags before I exited the car. Coming here was a risk. I did not know the state of the house but looking at it, I knew I had made the right choice. “Bye miss.” I nodded my head, the driver turning the car away, the tires crunching through the pebbles on the driveway. I turned, staring at the old stone hous

HIS SECRET WIFE 69. HIS PROPERTY
Blue cried himself to sleep and I was hanging on by pure stubbornness. By the time we reached the Williams mansion, darkness had dug its roots deeply. The mansion looked even larger with the lights on and more like another prison for me. Hendrix parked the car and it took all my self will to step out, careful not to wake Blue up. His body was still shaking, breaking my heart even further than it already was. I held him tighter with my aching arms. Hendrix led the way from the garage and I followed reluctantly. I did not know what was in store for me in this new house and new family, but my guard was high up. One thing for sure was I would not go down without a fight. Even as the thought passed through I fought down tears. I was tired. I was so tired. It seemed like a century ago when I was just a spoiled brat with my only problem being my over protective mother and keeping my position as queen bee in school. “Master Hendrix,” The voice snapped me out of my head, staring ahead to
HIS SECRET WIFE 68. THE UNWANTED CHILD
I jumped on the passenger seat so fast, quickly pulling my seatbelt before shutting the door. Hendrix closed his door and start the car. He did not get the urgency I was in, turning his head to me only for me to nod for him to get a move on it. For all we knew they were taking my baby away at that very moment. The thought squeezed my heart so hard I had to clench my chest because it felt like a heart attack was very near. The car tires screeched before the car moved, turning. In my head I was saying nothing but prayers. The way seemed to stretch long, my eyes on Hendrix, wanting to scream at him to go faster but too defeated for words. I kept looking out to see if we were going to catch up to my family but they were far gone. A part of my brain was telling me to accept, that Blue was already gone and as much as I tried to fight it, the doubt kept getting louder and louder. I thought of a life without him and there was nothing. At this point why would I continue living? It was too m
HIS SECRET WIFE 67. FORCED TO GIVE MY BABY AWAY
The cars turned, my only way to get my baby. “Let me go!” I screamed, shaking out of the hands that grasped me. By the time I got free, the cars were already driving away. I couldn’t think, I couldn’t see, feeling as if I was losing my mind. The panic sat right in my throat leaving me heaving, my breaths out. My baby, my baby blue. No, I could not lose him.My shaking hands quickly pulled out my phone, hitting the speed dial. I was shaking like a leaf, tears streaming down my face. Each ring that went unanswered took an ounce of life out of me. My knees shook and I knew they would crumble down. “Storm, please,” I begged as soon as the call connected. “You are now a Williams, your son has no place there.” “Storm, he is my son. Please, please. You cannot take him away from me. Storm, please.” I quickly wiped away my tears, “ It will be the last thing I ask of you, I will never ask you again, please brother, please.” “I made sure he will be put through a good adoption agency. He w

This is book two, titled : His tainted wife. This is Ruth’s storyBook tropes: New found family, forced marriage, love after marriageRuth’s P.O.V. “We are gathered here to witness the union between….” My mind went to the moment my mother budged into my room with guards, instructing them to carry me to the bathroom where they stripped me down and threw me in the tub. She woke up today and decided to wedge nothing but violence on me instead of telling me they were marrying me away to a person I did not know, to a family I never heard of before. Not even Storm, my brother, was saving me this time. I thought I had met rock bottom but I guess not.My jaw shook even as I tried to tighten it, it seemed seconds away from shattering. It was a sharp pain that told me my father was still holding my shoulders, making sure I did not run. I stared at the door and saw the guard standing there, knowing there was no running. The officiate cleared his throat, pulling my attention to him only for
HIS SECRET WIFE 65. HAPPIER THAN EVER
ONE YEAR LATERThe phone buzzed and I pressed the receiver button. “Ma’am, a package has arrived for you.” I didn’t even answer. I bolted up the seat and ran for the door. I threw it open, catching the attention of some of my teammates. The paperbag still sat on Kimberly’s desk. I snatched it up, a grin on my face. “Thank you.” I took out my phone, pressing redial as I rushed to the executive’s elevator. “Hi, I am coming up.” I said as soon as the call connected. “I am in the middle of something.” Storm said but I was already on my way up. “I am on my way, love.” I rushed out again, nearly out of breath. My heart was beating way too hard.“Okay.” He said and I cut the call. I wanted to scream, shout, and jump around. Storm deemed me unready to take after him. He was slowly training me to head the company so he could concentrate on the cartel. He would still be chairman but I would be the C.E.O.I flew out as soon as the elevator doors opened. “Matt, Rose.” I greeted the two as

Sometimes it just bothered me, how much I wanted to hold him, how much I enjoyed being pasted to my husband. Yes, the night had it’s downs but now that we were a million miles away from the disaster I couldn’t help but smile. Amar opened the door and Storm slid out. I followed after him to stop because he had turned and was now blocking the door. Storm bent down, his hands going to my feet where he unbuckled my heels and slipped them out of my aching feet. It was moments like these where I knew no matter what, I’d fight tooth and nail for us. He wrapped one arm around me, the other still holding my heels and he hefted me towards him. I yelped and giggled, my arms wrapping around his neck. “Storm.” I whispered into him, and blushed even harder as he scooped me up with just one arm. My legs wrapped around his waist and locked at his back. What was he doing? My whole body buzzed with emotions and feelings I could not explain. He would never know what it did to me when he pulled
HIS SECRET WIFE 63. OFFICE PARTY
I knew how it went but why did it hurt so much this time. As soon as Storm and I approached the door, I let go of his hand. He walked on faster and got in before me into the room. I turned, and walked away from him. When I was far enough I turned around to search for him. Maybe this time he would be looking for me and scold me for leaving his side but he didn’t. I watched as he nodded and greeted those he thought worthy of his greeting. He continued marching on until he was before his father. They talked a little and by then it was obvious that he knew I wasn't by his side or anywhere near him anymore. He didn’t even search for me in the crowd with his eyes. I swallowed, knowing my job was to disappear from sight and not make a mockery of him. The large room was buzzing and as I searched, I did not know a single person there. Some I recognized but most were just strangers to me. I couldn’t stand in a corner all night long. My leg was already giving in notice that it would rais
HIS SECRET WIFE 62. LOVE AND HAPPINESS
“How about this time?”Storm stepped away and I stared at the large mirror. My frown couldn’t get deeper. I thought by refusing to hire a makeup artist then finally failing to do my makeup would persuade Storm from taking me with him. Tell me why he sat down and watched tutorials for an hour before attempting my eyebrows.“No.” I gasped, dropping my shoulders and frowning even deeper. “ It’s horrible.”“Brandy!” He glared at me and I wanted so bad to be so pissed at him but I couldn’t. The Storm I had been getting every single day for the past eight months I would die for. My husband was my best friend. He was my everything.“I don’t want to go, I don’t want to go!&rdquo

“Get a team to clean it, we won't be staying there for long, and tell Ice to make a presentation of all the land we have, residential.”I shifted only to groan out loud as pain exploded on my side. Shit, this was hell. The pills had worn off and everything was throbbing. My limbs were painfully numb, pins and needles on the entirety of them. I clenched my eyes tighter and buried myself deeper into the warm skin right by me.Warm skin? A cloud fogged my brain, making it hard to think clearly.“Hi.”A voice.I knew that voice.Oohh God, I knew that voice! I wanted to lift my head up but failed so I buried myself deep into h
