“And your wound? How is it?” The question was from Dali as she sat opposite Anna in a cafe. They each had a cup of coffee before them and a plate of cookies for lunch. Anna took a sip from her coffee and looked away from her phone. “There is an improvement. I’m no longer using the bandage.” Due to the green sundress that she wore, the wound was covered. “The doctor said it’s fine now, though I’ll have the scar for a longer while before it fades away.”“Do you still feel pain?”“Just some slight sting here and there. Hurts when I use it for activities. How have you been?”“Just here and there. Now that we’re here, I should tell you about my relationship with Jordan, shouldn’t I?”Anna’s eyes grew wide. She’d almost forgotten about the relationship talk. There was a lot that she wanted to ask her friend and cousin. Like… how did they start dating? Didn’t they hate each other a while ago?“You both got a lot of explanations to do. You hated each other for fucks sake.”Dali shrugged. She
“Caspian,” she yelled as she managed to stabilize herself again“What did you say?” As their gazes locked, she saw the burn and anger in his eyes, the murderous way in which he stared at her. It looked like she’d just touched a sensitive topic, one that she didn’t have any regret speaking about. “I’m fucking asking you.” He raised his voice.“Don’t raise your voice at me,” she fired. “I’m not the one who’s at fault here. I said what I said.”“You’re fucking kidding.”Caspian combed his hands through his hair and pulled the seatbelt away from his body, his eyes glaring daggers at the woman who sat before him. “You were with her or you weren’t with her. It’s a yes or no question, Caspian. And if you can’t answer a simple question like that, then you are as well telling a lie. Yes or no and stop pretending that you don’t know what am talking about.” She showed him the photo on her phone again in case he didn’t see it the first time. But his eyes fell on it and quickly retracted at the s
What did they say about men again? Liars? Cheaters? Evildoers? Anna thought. Perhaps it was the same for her husband? As she stared at the time on her wristwatch for the umpteenth time that day, a single thought echoed in her head. Caspian had some groveling to do. What kind of a husband forgets the birthday of his wife? A cheat and a liar, right? Well, it was Anna’s birthday today and the whole day had almost passed by without a single word from her ‘darling’ husband who didn’t care to wish her a happy birthday at the start of the day. They’d woken up in the same goddamn bed, had their bath together, brushed their teeth together and all the while, she’d waited for him to say the words that would make her heart soar. But no, he said nothing and made his exit like every other day. She wasn’t going to act like her heart was made of brick. At that moment, she was holding herself back from letting tears stream down her cheek. If it was her past life, she wouldn’t have felt a single thi
Anna had never driven as fast as she did today in her entire life. She didn’t realize that her desire to see her husband was so strong until she got into her car and began the journey to their house. She sped past the cars on the road, realizing for the first time that she was at least a bit of an expert in driving. In a few minutes, she arrived at their private garage at the apartment building, parking her car amongst the others. She noticed that Caspian’s collection of cars had increased over the past few weeks. Her man was crazy about getting new cars every now and then. She wasted no time in throwing herself out of the car and raced into the building, to the elevator. Soon, she got to the door of their penthouse and swiped her card to open it. “Why is everywhere so dark?” A smile stretched on her lips when she opened the door only to be welcomed by darkness. Well, she hadn’t expected it. She felt something on her feet at the first step that she took and bending a bit to the f
“The food,” Anna whined, holding his head away when their kiss became even more intense. She said that yet her legs wrapped around his waist, pulling him further into her to feel the hard rod that poked her. “The food can wait. I’ll reheat it after this.”He wound his hands on her ass and lift her up from the table. He pressed her against himself and caught her lips in his again as he began to lead them both to their bedroom. A kick from him sent the door opening as he got there and he gently dropped her on her feet. “You have five seconds to get to the bed before I lose my shit.” He began taking off his tie and kicking his shoes off his feet. Instantly, Anna nodded and hurried to the bed. But before she could get to the end, he caught up to her and threw her on the bed before getting in after her, looming over her. With his hands, he tugged off the top of her jumpsuit until the material bunched up on her waist. “No bra?” He raised a brow, his eyes on her perky red nipples that sto
When Anna was told that someone had to steal her ill fate for her to live longer, she didn’t think that she wouldn’t do a single work to get the person to steal her fate. All she had to do was push them together and fold her hands to watch the drama unfold before her eyes. It was the best part of the whole traveling back in time and revenge schemes. To sit back and witness the very people who’d caused her so much pain in the past steal her evil fate from her. It was, in its own way, a form of justice. Today, she watched as Elle took the part, walking down the aisle of the same hall where she’d gotten married to Jason in the past. Not only was her dress and jewelry identical, the hall too, its decorations and everything seemed identical. The man too.She sat at the back of the hall and her eyes burned with unshed tears as she watched the newlywed couple say their vows and pledge to love each other reluctantly. She knew the truth. Each word was a lie, a carefully constructed facade.
“The couple are hilarious as fuck,” Dali laughed with Anna as they both jumped into the car. “Did you see their faces? They looked like they were forced to get married.” Anna started the car and drove out of the wedding premises, her laughter all the while not dying down. “They were clearly forced.” It was clear as day. “And that gift, she’s going to be shocked as hell when she finds out.” It was her intention to get Elle to find out that the husband she just married was a stank ass useless bastard who couldn’t keep his dick in check. She’d only asked someone to trail the both of them a few days ago and to her surprise- not really a surprise though, he came back with pictures and videos of Jason’s infidelity which she printed out, boxed, and tied as a gift to Elle. What kind of man would cheat on the day before his wedding to a girl half as beautiful as his wife-to-be? Anna wasn’t going to act like it wasn’t disgusting to her like Elle was ugly or unattractive. She had a beauty th
For the rest of the day, Anna watched Caspian walk and other times took a tour of his office and the company and after the close of day, they both made their way out of the company hand in hand. “How about my car?” She asked when he opened the front passenger’s side of his favorite white Rolls Royce for her, the one that she’d stolen on the first day they met in this life. “I’ll ask someone to get it home.” Shrugging, Anna slipped into the car and he closed the door after her and walked around to get to the driver’s side. Just as the car began to move through the road, she felt a bile rise up her throat. Her hands immediately flew to her chest. Caspian cocked his head to the side, worry laced in his voice as he spoke. “What is wrong?”“I…I think I’m going to puke.” She brought a hand around her mouth and gestured with her hand that he stopped the car. The car immediately swerved to the side and stopped. “Puke, why?”She didn’t bother to answer him and opened the door and threw he
