THE LETTER

Maria tried her best to muffle her laughter since if she didn't, it’d echo throughout the room and that would only make Reid more furious.

She watched as Reid pulled at the decorations which he didn't support to put up as a form of beautification. He was never a fan of that to start with and now, he needed to go through the struggle of bringing them all down.

“You know you were meant to do this all by yourself, right?” he asked with his hands rested on his waist.

He saw the traces of laughter on Maria’s face as he turned to far her even though she tried as much as possible to pull a serious look. He furrowed his eyebrow and walked toward her.

“Why?” she said back to him and was looking awkward as he got closer.

“What’s that on your face?” he asked with a little serious look that made Maria feel the seriousness in the air.

“What?” she asked as she rubbed her face to check for anything odd. By now, she was as well wearing a serious look to match the tension.

He picked up his phone and dialled a number. The call wasn't picked and he dialled again and still, it was the same thing. “Shit!” he let out angrily before settling on the sofa. He rested his head with his eyes shut as his mind travelled a thousand miles. Suddenly, he withdrew abruptly from his thoughts when his phone rang and he picked it up hurriedly“Seb,” he said.Sebastian, short for Seb used to be on

    SWEET AND SOURReid turned around in bed, hoping for his body to touch his lover’s but it felt empty. His eyes were still closed when he stretched his hands out to feel the bed only for his intuition to be proved right. She wasn't in bed. He flickered his eyes open lazily before stretching and yawning. He stared at the ceiling for a few seconds with a blank thought before sitting up and then standing. He walked lazily out of the room and as he got out, his eyes were opened wildly out of immense surprise at what was before him. There, he saw Maria and his mother in the kitchen as they cooked together, laughing really hard with their heads thrown back from the laughter. He walked slowly, very slowly toward them and when he had almost gotten to them, his mum called him. “Reid,” she called, still laughing and full of life and Maria looked back and saw him. She as well motioned for him to come closer, also laughing. He looked confused, surprised, shocked, happy and at the same time,

I have a frown on my face because work has already started for me already and it's stressful to think of. That's all, mama!” he rushed the words out as soon as Maria stood to leave the table. “You’re lying to me!” Maria ascertained without a fact.“No, no. I’m not lying. I promise you, it's just work,” he stood up to face her as he was being mindful of his hands not to stain her.“I believe you,” has said with a smile. “Give me a kiss!”“I’d be damned if I kiss those stained lips!” Maria joked. “But I said I wasn't lying,”“I didn't say you were,”“But you wouldn’t even kiss me,”“Your lips are stained.

"Maria!" he yelled again, louder than he had been calling her but still, he got no response from her. He threw away everything in his hands, including his phone and the letter as he ran outside his apartment hurriedly at the speed of light. He input her passcode and rushed in without delay. He looked all over the living room for her and saw no one. He was about to walk to her room when he heard her heavy breathing. He rushed to where she was with her head facing the ground and her hands wrapped around her head. "Maria!" he called and rushed to her side. He lifted her gently off the ground into his arms. "Are you okay?" he asked but she had her eyes shut tightly without even opening them at the sound of his voice. "It's me, mama. Are you okay?" he asked again and she gradually opened her eyes, squinting them to look at him. As soon as he was certain tha

    IMMENSE PLEASUREIt wasn't a great time for him but he made sure it was the best time for her. He wanted to keep it all to himself while he fights and conquers. He doesn't exactly want to keep secrets from her but some secrets were meant to be kept than to be said. What he dreaded most was to hurt her and he managed as possible as he could to avoid that. That was the best option for him and her. That was the best he could opt for and that was exactly, what he was going to do. He stared at her beautiful lips that seem to quiver in her sleep and he ran his thumb along her lips lightly to not wake her. He stared at her eyes, the eyes that always saw the good in him. He stared down at her nose that was a bit pointed, pointed towards him and him alone every time. He smiled at how perfect her face was and how beautiful they fit the structure of ‘her’. He was lucky, so damn lucky and he knows it. He looked down at her neck and could still see the hickey he gave her which melts his heart

    THE LEAD TO DOOMMaria lay in bed, exhausted. She was breathing heavily and so was Reid. Reid pulled her closer to his chest while they reek of sweat and cum in winter. “Who sweats profusely when it snows?” Maria muttered and Reid turned his head to look at her. “We. Just we!” he answered and they both laughed. “It ended so fast. Too fast beyond control!” Maria commented causing Reid to giggle. “We could contain it all. Our body was consumed by too much pleasure and it seems our soul could not contain it all,” he established and that alone took over Maria’s heart. “I cannot begin to explain how pleasurable you make me feel,”“I have but one duty and that, I shall execute diligently!” he said and she laughed. “You’re sure doing a diligent job!”“Thanks, ma'am!”They lay in bed for a long while till their stomachs started rumbling. “That didn't just happen in synchronisation!” Maria said looking up at Reid's face. “I guess it did,” he smiled and she joined him.

Maria stared at Reid who was staggering over to her side with horror and unavalability to move. She looked hurt than Reid himself. She was trembling and was still in shock of what was before her. How could he do this to him? Reid held the side of his stomach. He had blood dripping down his hand and from the look of things, he was stabbed. Just when he was about to get to her, he fell to the ground, only then was she able to move. She ran to his side and pressed her hands on where he was hurt. “You...” she said but stopped when she looked up and saw that Kyros was gone. “Oh my God, Reid. What...what am I going to do?” she was unable to think straight and knew not what she was meant to do in a situation like this. She was crying, crying profusely and the sight of that weakens Reid more. “Sheesh,” Reid managed to

It had been two weeks since the incident and the gory look remain solid in her head but the view before her was appeasing. She yawned a few times looking to her side to see Gen doing the same thing. She had called Gen to spend time with her. She wanted some alone time from her usual door-to-door with Reid and wanted to spend some time outside their usual routine. She was able to successfully convince Gen to go out in the cold with her even though there was nothing, in particular, she wanted to do. They were just parked in the middle of nowhere, resting their backs against the car and staring at the snow that doesn't seem to melt any time soon. “We could have gone skating instead of staying quietly here and staring at nothing in particular,” Gen finally said

    TOGETHER REGARDLESSReid could see through her. He saw the anger, the hatred and the confusion, all emitting through her eyes. The news he had just gotten broke his heart but he doesn't want to believe it was true. He was just going to treat it as words from an angry lady who needs in-depth explanation and love. He stared into her eyes with all the emotions his body was willing to profess. Living without her for the past year had made him realize how deep he was into her and how he couldn't do without her. Those days during the year were a living hell for him. He couldn't get his life together without a day passing when her thought would cross his mind. He hated life and how nothing ever goes his way. He deserted everyone and his work. Liquor became his friend and he gets drunk every single day. His dad had neglected him to be a worthless son who has nothing to offer. His dad wanted him to get married so he could gracefully pass the inheritance all over to him but he had proved to

    LOST HATREDIt had been a year since the whole incident happened. Maria left her whole life behind including Reid and her friends. She was broken and saw no reason to live and now she had become a shadow of herself. She had travelled back home to her family without caring about anything or anyone since she has nothing left to lose. Maria laid on her bed with her door locked just like always. She had her head buried in her pillow, soaked in her tears with a high temperature. Her room was dark just like a vampire's room that was avoiding sunlight. She had always lived like this after she had visited a therapist and there had been no difference in her case. She was still always gloomy and the whole thing she passed through still played in her head like it was yesterday. She goes out of her room on good days when she feels light-headed and a little bit into the world. On these days, her mum and her siblings take the best of it by making sure that she feels good and less burdened and

    EXCRUCIATING PAIN “What?” Maria exclaimed before she could stop herself. She had heard a lot but this new revelation was unbelievable and shocking. Reid's father has an illegitimate son? And that son is Kyros? Which makes Reid and Kyros brothers? She found it so hard to believe his words and she doesn't even know who to believe anymore since all everyone around her does was to lie. She thought of how she had trusted everyone and given them her all by loving them unconditionally but all she got from them was lies and deceit. The fact that Kyros had only used her for his advantage made the tears roll down her cheeks effortlessly. Kyros laughed before he continued. He was having fun, he was enjoying the way he was torturing her. “This is why you came into the picture. After I discovered that Reid was the heir and the whole inheritance was going to him, it seems unfair to me, don’t you think? The fact that I was illegitimate doesn't mean I'm not entitled or that I don't have the Mart

  • HIS VIRGIN ACQUISITION   The revelation

    THE REVELATION Reid zoomed in, pulling up outside the building. He rushed down from his car and hurried in but as he got in, he saw no sight of Maria. "Maria," he called out and his voice echoed throughout the empty room but he got no response from her. "Maria," he called again, a little louder this time and his voice gave the same effect it had given the first time. He brought out his phone from his pocket to dial her number as he walked outside with his hand rested on his waist. He could hear her phone ring, only then did he realize that her phone was ringing on the floor close to where he was standing. He ended the call and walked closer to where the phone was ringing only to find out that all her stuff was on the ground. He looks troubled as to why she had her things scattered on the ground. "Maria!" he called out audibly, looking around but he got no response. He stood quiet for a while to think and the possibility of her being in trouble dawned on him. He raised his han

  • HIS VIRGIN ACQUISITION   Kidnapping

    THE KIDNAPPINGThis was the last time she was doing the on and off with him. Maria had made up her mind and at that point, there seems to be nothing that could change her thoughts. It had been a month of silent struggle and endless sickness plus in-depth exhaustion. She had shut herself out from everyone and had decided to live through her pregnancy days without letting anyone into her life. She had stopped with the tears and endlessly thought. She had replaced all of Reid's thoughts that she had on her mind with that of her growing child. She laid on the sofa with the duvet pulled up to her chest and her face and breath were filled with exhaustion. She rubbed her growing belly and was trying to decipher the fact that she was pregnant. She was damn pregnant for a man she would never forgive. She hated how things had ended up with her and she couldn't help the tears that were gushing out from her eyes now. Was this a blessing or not? How could she bring her innocent child to this

  • HIS VIRGIN ACQUISITION   New Blessing or not

    NEW BLESSING OR NOTHe stared at her for a long time without blinking and when he later did, tears rolled down his cheeks. He’d tried his best. He had said words that he could think of, words that he thought were going to change her mind but ended up not making any difference. He couldn’t dispute the fact that her words were true and he could see how she had poured out her heart in her words. He hated himself right now. “We could still try to work things out!” he said in a low tone. He was desperate and helpless. He needed her so bad, that he doesn't think he could live another day knowing she hadn’t forgiven him. He waited for her to say something, anything. Just something capable enough to serve a salve on his injured heart. He wanted to listen to anything words from her still, he could see the exhaustion on her face. He doesn't want to stress a thing but he was a desperate man and his heart ached for her. “We could work things out, Maria. Don't give up on me,” he moved closer

  • HIS VIRGIN ACQUISITION   INDEPTH THOUGHTS

    INDEPTH THOUGHTS Since Maria had been living in her apartment, she had never seen a lot of people around which was odd to see them now. The whole building was usually quiet and not for once had she run into tons of people as she had now, stuck in the elevator with unfamiliar faces. The elevator was quiet even though there were a lot of people. They seem to be so interested in their businesses that they don't wanna mind anyone's. She stopped on her floor and walked straight to her apartment. She was a bit tired from all the stress she had to go through to set up the new restaurant which was a lot to do. Reid had excused himself to see Amanda the last time they were together and it had been two weeks now since they had seen. She hated the fact that she was acting fine and cool with the idea of having a family and she had to act as the mistress who has no effect on in his life. She had been feeling a little dizzy lately and being exhausted had been something that occurs to her fro

It was burnt to ashes but I got us a better one!" he retorted with a broad smile. "Hold on. Make me understand you, please," Maria said in a low tone. "All I'm saying is that we got the first building to ashes which was a great blow on us, so I got us a better and different building and here are the documents!" he handed her the documents with a gladdened heart as he stared at her face while her hands opened the brown envelope. He was proud of himself on how he could make her smile again. It felt like ages since he had seen her smile genuinely. "You did what?" Maria said, amazed as she opened the documents and scanned through the papers. Her smile widened as she read through the lines. "Oh my goodness!" she exclaimed as she jumped on him and wrapped her arms around his neck. This was great news
