Nine hours later and my eyes were raw.

Sleep had failed me and my thoughts haunted me through the night.

I got off and caught a cab straight to the office.

It was six in the morning, a cold night having drifted away, leaving a light mist and drizzle behind.

I got off the cab, turning to see a cafe not far from the building.

Most that passed were in gym outfits, running down the street even with the cold and rain.

I got myself a coffee, still not able to stomach much.

My bags in hand, I walked to the company. Only one of the receptionists sat behind the humongous desk. The floors were being mopped, none paying attention to me as I strutted through the waiting area to the elevator.

Music played in the background of the elevator and when it opened on my floor I took it in greedily.

Large cubicles stared back at me and as I made my way through them, I could see that some of my team had already made it their home by the pictures and pot plants there. They had desktops, phones, and

Well, I do hope that she will wake up from her stupor/silence to explain Storm about her absence and at the same time about all the torture she has been through.

She needs to look him straight in the eye and tell him "Go ahead you can't do anything worse than your bodyguards haven't already done to me" then turn and walk out the door with her head held high

Dammmnnnn. He needs to get his house in order if she slipped off the radar without anyone noticing from the security team.

  • HIS SECRET WIFE   52. LAST GOODBYE

    The meeting was forever adjourned. What was the point of continuing when I had just been fired? No one dared walk into my office after that. I wrecked my hand through my hair for the millionth time. I just knew this was not the only punishment I would receive, I knew Storm had more in store for me and I couldn’t help but pale. Too many problems found their way to me and soon I could not process any of them. I was stuck and I didn’t know how to pull myself out. The scene played over and over in my head, thinking of the war I had nearly brought to life. Why had my father threatened war from my disappearance?I never thought it would all get so messy yet there was no way I would have gone home Friday night after everything I went through, after seeing Storm with that woman. Leaving had been the best option for me yet, still, I clawed at myself for all the chaos it had erupted. A knock came at my door, snapping me from the document I had been reading for the past hour. This was my la

    BRANDY’S P.O.VFor so long I was in peace but then suddenly I was in a car. It sped off the road, hitting the barrier to flip. I tried to scream but I couldn’t. I tried to free myself but my limbs were heavy, unmoving. The car rolled down a slope and I screamed so loud until it hit ground and I drifted away into the darkness.I snapped out of the dream to find myself hanging from my car seat.A loud heave escaped, scraping the seatbelt, trying to unclip it but it was stuck. I began frantically pulling with no success then the car jerked and I fell off a cliff with a loud scream pouring from me.My body jerked and once again I was in the car but this time I wasn’t al

  • HIS SECRET WIFE   WHILE WE WAIT

    Hi guys. While we wait for our next chapter you can check out ‘Forced Mafia Brides’ by Tema G.M (me). It has the same concept when it comes to the arranged marriage but it’s more darker. The male character lead is very rough around the edges. The female lead is willing to fight this unwanted marriage as best as she could, very vocal, and strong willed. The book is spicy. Unconventional sexual content. Please read the trigger warnings. Love you all. Tema G.M

    STORM’S P.O.V.“I just came from the meeting with the Prestos. You should have been there.”“I am busy, father.”Between the mafia business, the company, and the whole Brandy fiasco, I was far too stretched and soon I would burst.“Are you still busy investigating? She is a whore, shocking I know, but there is only one end for her. Her father has been told, you need to stop wasting time and kill her. Loyalty is our number one rule.”“You did not dare!” I hissed out, straightening from the seat I had been leaning on.“It’s been a month Storm. I gave you enough time. Stop wasting time and actu

    BRANDY’S P.O.V.I woke up to a sponge bath the nurses were giving me yet even with them done I still smelt like smoke, still felt dirty in many places that they had not dared touch but could I blame them, I wouldn’t either if I was them.There was no joy. There was no sadness. There were no tears. I was just an echo of what once was. All I did was blink, lying there to rot as life went on without me.Sleep soon took me away after a few hours of blinking and even my dreams were vacant of life. Even in my dreams death clung to me, dark vacant space where I couldn’t even scream.Pain shot through my body immensely and I embraced it because it was a relief to feel something after being numb for so long yet the pain soon turned gut wrenching.

  • HIS SECRET WIFE   56. IT COULD GET WORSE

    “Miss Brandy.”I looked up from one of the books that had arrived for me a few weeks back. I had no interest in them until the doctors took me off the heavy drugs. It felt like being free after being buried alive. The color returned around me. Even the pain was appreciated. I didn’t want to go back there again even if it meant dealing with my fear, my heartbreak, my depression, and sadness. I would take that over the numbness that slowly sucked the life out of my soul.“You are going home today.”Bittersweet news. I did not know how to react. I guess, home was better than the hospital, locked in this room alone. I stared down at my bandaged leg and arm. How would I cope at home, alone, with my burns?I had seen them, they were third degree burns, horr

    “I have not been in this room in years. My son had the audacity to ban me from his room, in my own house!” A distant voice came as my eyes peeled open. I turned my head, a lot of light pouring in through the window. “This has to go, we have to do it before he arrives.” It was the best sleep I have had since forever. I blinked, feeling so comfortable, so warm. “Look at these curtains. It’s a crime. Come on, call Cole, he needs to get here soon.” If only I could close my eyes again and just drift away but as I tried, it was clear sleep had left me. I peeled my eyes again, seeing the large white ceiling. The room smelt so good and a familiar scent clung to my nostrils. It was in the sheets. I looked down, seeing a large grey duvet that I wanted to snuggle in forever. It felt as if it was massaging my whole body. I was in awe. No longer did I smell of smoke. I felt clean, proper clean.“Where am I?” “Oohh dea

I didn’t mind that my burned skin was opening new wounds from me flicking my arm so aggressively.A loud angry growl escaped me as I continued whipping this scum. I wanted his skin to peel, I wanted him to writhe in pain.He heaved out and I pulled back, staring at his face which was clean of all the wounds inflicted on him.His teeth were clenched, eyes staring at me with determination.

  • HIS SECRET WIFE   97. TATTOO MY HEART

    All six of them had been friends since college. I lost myself in their banter, listening, and laughing out loud like a rascal just as they were. At some point Hendrix moved his hands and it was long minutes later when I realized I was playing on my own. He drank his beer while holding me to him with his other hand.I wished I could capture the moment and print out the photo. I had not had such fun in a long while. I drank a few more bottles of alcoholic ciders but when I realized I was laughing way too loud, I curbed it.“Go to the right, attack him from the back,” Hendrix whispered in my ear and I quickly did as told while my body ruptured all over with tingles. Despite my surprise attack, I still got shot at and died. I sulked, turning to glare at Ben. He chuckled then I twisted and sulked even more, staring at Hendrix. His wet lips ca

  • HIS SECRET WIFE   96. DESTRUCTION

    When she said, ‘daughter’, she meant Brandy. Why did I even care? She was the worst mom, one of the people that never should have been mothers. But I could not write her off my heart. It hurt a million times over, living through my past, all the things she had done to me. I flipped around my phone, searching for Storm’s number. I opened the message app, knowing he had probably blocked me. “Hi Storm. I was just with Brandy and she told me about the accident. I am so sorry. I am sorry you both went through that and that I was not there for you. I hope you are okay. I know you probably don’t want to hear from me but I just wanted you to know that I….” I was just getting so emotional, sniffling, “ I…I love you Storm and I am thankful for everything you did for me, from when we were young. I really hope you are okay…” I let go of the mic then just sent it before I could even change my mind. Feeling nervous, I locked my phone and stuffed it in my bag then went on with my walk. I heard H

  • HIS SECRET WIFE   95. REUNION

    Hendrix did not eat and as soon as he was done dressing up in shorts and a t-shirt with man sandals, he picked up his keys and mentioned for us to leave. He looked so good in his casual wear, having that lazy look to him, nearly dragging his feet. He took a bottle of water from the fridge and walked to the door. I followed, clutching my bag. I was nervous about visiting my brother. Would Brandy be there? I had never actually spoken to her besides witnessing my mother harass her at dinner a few months back only for my brother to leave her at the house in the mercy of my mother. I had been locked in my room after Storm left but I had seen Brandy drag her bags a few days later, leaving. The more I thought about her, the more I smiled. I liked her. We walked past Ryan’s guards and made our way down. Ryan was still asleep. I wondered if Hendrix would stay with me or would leave. I slid in the passenger seat of his car, pulling the seat belt and buckled it. The car came to life and Hendr

  • HIS SECRET WIFE   94. THE MORNING AFTER

    My eyes opened and I froze, blinking a few times to clear the fatigue away. My heart skipped a beat before it settled and I forced myself not to move an inch. My fingers itched but I was afraid I would wake him if I shifted. Never in my life had I slept with a man in bed, not counting my brother. My face was just a few inches from him, feeling his warmth, feeling his alcoholic breath on my skin. I did not mind that the scent was so heavy it was as if the alcohol was pouring from his pores. It should have left me cringing in disgust but I was in a trap because I had never seen a grown man as beautiful as him. He looked so innocent in his sleep, so angelic. His skin looked so smooth, his lips perched out, wet and pink. Our feet were entangled, his arm heavy on my hip where he held me directly on my skin because the t-shirt had shifted up, exposing some of my waist to him. It took seconds for my skin to begin tingling. I was torn between closing my eyes and feeling through this exper

  • HIS SECRET WIFE   93. EXTORTION

    “How is my son?” My hands clenched and unclenched, my stomach turning and threatening to spill out everything I had eaten. And I just stood there, leaning against the sink, just staring at him in disbelief. The lowest of people that would ever walk this earth. His beauty was a facade for the rotten person inside. There was no one I hated more in life. The worst scum and my worst mistake. I found myself heaving in nothing but hate. “How old is he now?” Damon stepped closer and I pressed back to the sink, my mind rattling. I could not believe he was here. I could not believe he had the audacity to even ask me about Blue. How many times had I called him asking for help for his son? At first he wouldn’t pick up then he would let his fucking girlfriend pick up. She would throw every insult known to man yet I would hold on until she was done because my baby needed supplies which he as the father had the means to provide but he chose not. He had made so many promises only to turn and

  • HIS SECRET WIFE   92. VULTURES

    Hendrix was leading me to someone. The whispers followed us. It was when I saw his father and brother in a group that dread fell on me but I held my face and didn’t let it fall. We joined the group and stood as the older gentlemen talked about something. Then my father-in-law suddenly turned and his eyes widened which scared me and I couldn’t help grip more onto Hendrix. “Aahh, you have arrived. Gentlemen,” Mr Williams said to the men he was with, holding out his arm to us. “This is my youngest son, Hendrix and his lovely wife, Ruth. She is Gambino's only daughter.” My father-in-law introduced, all the men turning to me. Some gave disapproving stares while others gaped. I knew most of them from these gatherings but not the usual men my dad associated with. “Miss Gambino,” One of the older men said, holding out his hand. I shook it, shaking the others after. It was weird, all eyes on me. I felt as if I was at an auction. I could just see the crazy in their eyes from hearing my su

  • HIS SECRET WIFE   91. BACK IN SOCIETY

    Fifteen dresses were lined up for me and I had to try all of them. He was seated on the couch directly facing the dressing room in the backroom of the designer shop. It was when I slipped the dress that I realised why these dresses were so expensive. The material definitely wasn’t the same and they just made you feel as if you were on top of the word. But the cost of living in the two lives were just drastic to me. Pulling the curtain away and walking out in each dress, my heart drummed as my eyes fell on my husband who had decided to give all his attention to me and my dress fittings. The way his eyes would move from my very feet and slowly up until they held my eyes. The decision on the dresses was completely taken out of my hands and I did not mind at all. He would stare for long minutes before pointing to another. The way he took charge did something to me. So, as if we had all the time in the world, I wore each dress for him, even finding myself dizzily anticipating what he

  • HIS SECRET WIFE   90. THE INVITATION

    School wasn’t all rainbows and sunshine but who cared, I was there to learn and I was doing just that. Being the oldest person there, married too just left me an outcast and a cause for ridicule. I was just happy they did not have the balls to say it to my face or try stupid bullying tactics because I was not beneath smacking little spoilt brats and teaching them respect. I would crush them like insects. All my spare time was spent studying. I studied as if my life depended on it. There was a lot I had to learn. All my previous grades from my old school were bought so I knew basically nothing. I got myself a laptop and an ipad which helped a lot as I was doing a lot of note taking. I watched teaching videos online, set tests for myself every week and just went hard on it. Maths was my worst nightmare so I got a tutor who was really helping me through it. All this left little time to spend with Blue. I told myself we would have a lifetime together but as of then I was building our fu

  • HIS SECRET WIFE   89. SECOND CHANCES

    For the first month, besides being a mother, my life had no meaning. Samantha was always with Blue. She daunted on him, showered him with love, and devotion. They played, she sang, she read, she bathed him, dressed him, slept with him in the nursery, took walks, fed him, the list was endless. I tagged along in all the activities but it soon seemed as if I was a third party, like I was a leech to Samantha, as if I was monitoring or keeping an eye on her. It made us rigid with each other and the easygoing conversations and friendship turned sour. The jealousy I felt did not help at all because I realized it was showing on my face every time Blue clung to Samantha, how he always looked for her with his eyes and soon wanted no one else but Samantha. It was like a knife to the heart. How crazy was it to inwardly blackmail a baby? I just couldn’t help the thoughts. After everything we went through together, he just turned on me like that. I was losing my mind, I knew it. Everyone had so
