“What do you mean? We forged no signature,” Sylvia cried, struggling to get her arms away from the policemen but their hold on her was too strong. “Let the fuck go of me,” she yelled. “My husband willingly signed the papers. I did nothing.”“We found out the medical condition of your husband. Including that he’s unable to recognize people at the moment.” The shareholders in the room gasped, their eyes widening at the policeman's words and they found themselves looking from Sylvia to Anna as if searching for an answer in their eyes. “You have to come with us to the station and explain how you got his signature in this condition.”“I’ll explain nothing. This is an assault, I hope you know that. I’ve been nothing but a good wife to my husband.”They began to pull both of them away. But before they could take Elle far away, she yelled at them to stop and spat. “Mother forged the signature.”Sylvia felt blood drain from her face and she tried to communicate with her daughter with her eyes.
At first, Anna thought it was a coincidence but as it maintained its tiny distance, she started to feel uneasy. Anna immediately increased the speed of her car and when the car behind her did the same, she held onto the steering wheel tighter and turned the car to the left, driving in a direction that didn’t lead to the hospital. Yet again, the black car took the same route as her. With her eyes half on the road and half on the car right behind her, she again increased her speed and drove through the road faster than she’d ever done before. She took a different route as again, the car did same. It seemed like the person found out that she caught him in their act and he increased his speed so that he moved right beside her, blocking her from turning in another direction. Anna’s heartbeat immediately increased as she realized that she was in trouble. She searched through the car for her phone and when she found it, she began to dial Caspian’s number, her hand trembling as hell. Just t
“I see you’re finally awake.” Anna froze at the voice that resounded behind her. She gasped in shock as her whole body stiffened, her head immediately becoming hazy. She wanted to look behind her and confirm her doubts but the ropes around her limited her movement. They’d tied the ropes on her like she was a goddamn dangerous criminal. “So it’s you?” She spoke. “How dare you.”She heard the click-click of heels in her direction and soon enough, the owner of the heels stood before her. Anna first looked at those familiar red heels before raising her head to stare at the owner. “You’ll never grow up, right Elle? You sent thugs to kidnap me?”“I didn’t, I swear. It wasn’t me.”“Then who?”“You’ll know soon.” That wasn’t from Elle. It was from a whole different voice behind her and just like Elle did, the owner of the familiar voice walked forward to stand beside Elle. “Jason?” Anna exclaimed. “It was you?”“Chill, babe. I said you’ll find out soon.”Anna couldn’t help the laughter tha
Ethan stretched his hand backward and the man behind him handed him a pistol. He brought the pistol to his lips and pressed a kiss on it. “And when he comes here, I’ll fucking blow his head off with this.” He had no intention of letting his brother go this time, not after he managed to ruin his fucking dream in a blink of an eye. The plans that he had for him, he wasn’t going to ever believe it. Ethan had thrown all humanity off his body the day that his brother ruined his dream. He’d vowed to make him pay even more for what he did. Anna’s eyes widened at the sight of the pistol, panic seeping Into her every being. She felt a cold shiver run down her spine as she remembered all that happened the last time and how Caspian had barely survived Ethan’s ploy. Her husband must not get hurt this time and she was ready to do anything to keep him safe. “I have a feeling that you’ll be in more trouble this time. You’re making a mistake, Ethan.”She flinched when he shoved the gun to her face
The pain that came from the fall and her knee colliding with the stone caused the tears that she’d been holding back to finally spill down her cheek. She let out a sharp cry as the pain spread from her knees down to her legs. She managed to push herself to sit up and held the hem of her jumpsuit before pulling the material that covered her right leg up, her eyes widening at the sight of the blood-covered knee. She gasped. Her knee was filled with blood and a wide injury sat still on it. She looked backward and saw the men so close to her. But before she could stand up and begin her race, their hands got to her and they pulled her backward. “Come here, you bitch,” one of them spat, his breath hot against her skin.She struggled from their hold, her fingers pinching at their skin to make them let go of her but they were way stronger than she was. “Let go of me. Leave me alone.”“You have to come with us.”“I asked you to let go of me, you don’t want to know what trouble you’re getting
Anna was sure it was one of Ethan’s best days from the smile that settled on his face as he watched the scene play out before him. With his gaze still fixated on Anna, he pulled Dali to his side by her hair, ignoring her groan of pain, and as she knelt by his side, he pulled her closer to him. “You did what I asked you to do, didn’t you?”Dali’s eyes burned with unshed tears that she couldn’t afford to let out. He’d warned her not to shed a single tear. She slowly nodded. He shoved her backward and she placed her hands on the floor to balance herself. Ethan’s smirk widened and he continued. “Want to know what she did?”“What?” Anna asked, glaring at him suspiciously. “Called your husband.” He stared at his wristwatch. “He’ll be here in no time. If I’d known that your cousin could be such a good puppet, I would have had her before now. She does exactly as she’s told. So submissive.”Anna clenched her fist tightly, her heart thumping even more at his words. She knew that if Caspian ar
In a blink of an eye, Caspian raced toward Ethan, grabbed him with his collar, and landed a punch on his face, his head falling to the side, the corner of his mouth immediately beginning to bleed. Caspian’s hold on his shirt became even stronger as he threw the next punch on the same spot, his ring scraping his cheek. How fucking dare he hurt his wife. Only he knew how scared he was when he received the news that Anna had been taken and not just by anyone but by his goddamn brother. He’d been scared to death and had driven through the road like a maniac. And he’d sworn not to let him go. Not this time. “You fucking bastard,” he yelled and shot the next punch, taking in the sight of Ethan bleeding with each punch that he threw. The men behind him all stormed toward Caspian to peel him away from their boss but Ethan raised his hand up to stop them, a smile settled on his lips even as Caspian delivered the next punch. “I’ll fucking kill you. How dare you fucking touch her.” He was fil
The sound of bullets reverberated in the entire building. Not once, not twice. And then abruptly, it stopped. The air hung heavily with a silence so thick. Caspian froze, his eyes on the woman that lay limply in his arms, weak and unresponsive. With racing heart and eyes that were wide open in disbelief, his gaze darted across the building, at the men that laid on the floor, at his brother sprawled on the floor with bullet holes all over his body and then and then the policemen that now surrounded the place, their weapons drawn. “Anna,” he called her name like a prayer, his eyes tracing over the blood that ran from her shoulder down to her legs, his hands trembling as they held her cheek. “Fuck, Anna. Open your eyes. Can you hear me, baby?” He cried, panic evident in his voice. His blood thumped loudly in his ears as he stared at his bloody palm from her shoulder. She’d fucking taken the bullet for him, she’d fucking jumped before him as Ethan fired the gun, and fuck, he had been un
FOURTEEN MONTHS LATER! The hall erupted in a loud thunder of applause as Wendy kissed her newly wedded husband, more like devoured his face. Anna was sure her clap and scream were the loudest as the priest pronounced the new couple, husband and wife. She hooted and applauded and made all the noises with Dali, Mia, and a few of their friends. They were all dressed in purple bridesmaid dresses, white heels, and a white butterfly hair clip on their heads. Well, it was all her idea. She’d practically planned the wedding. Wendy’s wedding came as a shock to everyone. Just months ago, she’d introduced them to Tory, and now, he was her husband. Their romance has caught everyone off guard and their sudden decision to tie the knot left no time to waste. Anna had single-handedly planned the wedding and she was the reason Wendy had chosen the pretty wedding dress that she wore. It literally made her look like a fairy tale princess. It was a dream wedding according to Wendy. Her big day. On A
Jason flipped the backpack and let the items in it scatter on the floor, the sound sending chills down Anna’s spine. She gasped as her eyes trailed from the thick white rope to sharp knives and then to a gas mask that lay limply on the floor. “What are you trying to do, Jason? Don’t you dare…”“Shut the fuck up.” He stormed toward her, bent to her size, and gripped her chin so hard that she heard the sound of her bones cracking and she let out a sharp cry. “I’m the one who has the upper hand here. I’m the one who should speak and not you, you fucking cunt.”“Ahh,” she cried when he gripped her chin tighter and forced her to gaze at him, tears beginning to stream down her cheek.“You think you can ruin my life and get away with it? You fucking ruined everyone’s lives and if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have killed Elle!”Anna froze. Her eyes widened, Jason’s words echoing in her ears over and over again. She shook her head in denial as tears burst from her eyes. She didn’t want to b
“Fuck, is she dead?” Jason gasped as he stepped toward Elle and checked her pulse with his fingers. He froze and returned his gaze to the blonde. “She’s dead. Oh, fuck.” He clasped his hands around his mouth and rose from the floor, his eyes staring at the blonde in shock. “She was carrying my baby, Lia.”Lia rushed to his side in desperation and wrapped her hands around his arms. She didn’t carry the panic that Jason did. “Jason, if it's a baby that you want, I can give you one. Just forget about her, after all, she gave us a lot of trouble. It’s good riddance.”“What do I say to my mother? She spent a lot on the wedding and now, her daughter-in-law and grand baby are dead.” His legs trembled tremendously. “We’ll tell everyone that she slipped. She slipped while bathing. Wait..” their eyes widened at the sound of siren from outside. “Is that the police?”“Police? Who called them? Do you think it’s for us?”“Babe, do something.” Jason pushed the girl aside, threw his shirt and trous
The house was usually noisy. If they weren’t fighting, they were cooking foods that made her stomach churn and if not that, they were waiting for her with their hands on their hands on their hips. Fucking pathetic family! Now that she knew she might not live longer after birthing her baby, it was her turn to make their lives a living hell. As for her mother-in-law, she would make sure that the woman died way before her. Poisoning her tea wasn’t a bad idea, right? After all, she dared to hit her several times, forced her to stop eating much, and called her all sorts of names. She deserved to die. Elle held onto the paper tighter coupled with the small pack of poison that she’d bought on her way to the house and she stepped deeper into the house. It was only after she got to the room that she shared with Jason did she realized that indeed, there was no one at home. She dumped her bag on the floor and took exhausted steps that led her to the bed. She slumped on it, her breathing rough
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
“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
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 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
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
