A home is where you're loved, where your family are ~ Caspian Riordan Elle rolled her eyes as she stood up from the chair, grabbed her bag, and turned to walk out of the office. She stopped just as she got to Dali, turning her head to the side and glaring at her. “What?” Dali passed her a questioning look. “Don’t look at me like that. I'm not the cause of your life issues.” “Trust me, your life has more issues than mine. Lowlife reporter.” “At least better than you who leeches of her father’s money. Why don’t you just start gugugaga like a fucking baby.” Elle clenched her fist, resisting the urge to walk over to the girl and give her a piece of her palm. “Cry me a river. I see how jealous you are that you’ll never have a taste of my life.” “Ohmigod,” Dali exclaimed dramatically, closing her mouth with her palms. “Trust me, Elle, I’d rather die than live a life like yours. Disgusting.” Anna’s palm finally collided with her table, silencing the two women before her. “
Dali’s eyes fell on the cup of coffee that Elle had left behind. Bringing it to her face, she cringed. “The fuck. Elle won’t change from her bad habit, would she? She still likes her coffee this way.” “Who knows? She yelled at my secretary for putting too much cream,” Anna replied. “Not when she likes it this way.” Dali dropped the mug back on the table. “She likes it super creamy, even more than this. I’m certain she vented her anger on her since she can’t yell G you like she wants to.” “Like she can. How are your parents Dali?” “My parents are okay. Mother always asks of you. I wonder sometimes if I’m her daughter or you. She never ceases to ask of you day by day.” “Just the same way I ask of her. Your mum is wonderful.” Dali rolled her eyes. “You can have her if you want. I doubt anyone would be able to stay with Mum for a day without going crazy. That woman nags twenty-four-seven.” “That’s because you never do as you’re told.” Anna grabbed her coffee from the table and t
Please Almighty, pity this fool. Give me one more chance ~ AnnaIt has been confirmed, Caspian Riordan was avoiding Anna Riordan. It has been a week since his disappearance and he hasn’t even shown his face to her once not to talk of twice. Did she try calling? Of course not. She wasn’t the one who asked him to leave.The thing was that Caspian didn’t disappear from the face of the earth, he disappeared from the house, avoiding any little encounter with her. Coward. Anna stood, her eyes staring at the restroom sink before averting her gaze to her phone. She typed his name on her internet search box. There, interviews with him popped up. The first interview was the reporter asking him about his honeymoon and good lord, the man fucking lied. He told them that his honeymoon went so well and his wife and he had a lot of fun. He said it was a shame returning from their honeymoon but they had to because they had work to do. Big fat liar. She rolled her eyes. Wasn’t it the same honeymoon t
“Arghhhhhhh,” Elle screamed as she entered the empty changing room, her fingers gripping her hair tightly. She pulled at the strands kicking and throwing everything that came in her way.“Miss Cooper, you have to calm down.” Her secretary rushed to her immediately, trying her best to get Elle to lower her voice. “Calm down? Did you see what happened there? Tell me that did not just happen, Yasmin.” Elle lunged at Yasmin, grabbing her shoulders and digging her fingers into them. “I asked a fucking question.”“Your voice is too loud, Miss.”“Did you see what that bitch did?” She was going mad, going mad at the thought of the fall. Her delicate face was still stained with the flour that she fell into and her thighs ached like hell. It was all Anna’s fault. “She fucking set her legs for me. She did that on purpose.” It wasn’t supposed to be her in such a position. She’d planned to embarrass Anna in front of everyone, for their fans to see and laugh about but when she set out her foot f
“The thing about position is that, if you work hard, you’ll get it, Elle,” Mr Cooper encouraged.“But I just told you that I work so hard. I even had sleepless nights.”“If the board of shareholders doesn’t think so, Elle, then you’re not working hard enough.” The man’s hand fell on her shoulder, patting it gently. “I told Anna this before she became the director of the company’s affairs. If she works harder, after I resign, the board of directors will vote her in as the chairwoman.”“That is not going to happen.” Not when she was alive. If Anna can get there, she also would get there. She would snatch the position from Anna and leave her begging for crumbs. She won’t let her take the position she has been working so hard for. “You are hardworking, my dear. If Anna gets chosen, it doesn’t matter either. In your heart, you know that you worked hard for it.”“Okay, papa. I’ll work harder and succeed in this. Daddy?” Elle clung to his arm tighter. “Can you please stop that video of me f
“The fuck?” Elle’s hand darted to the bedside table, hitting the goddamn alarm clock that blared throughout the room off the table and sighing heavily. She rolled her eyes at the sight of the man beside her. He was snoring, sleeping like a log of wood despite the alarm that blared pounding a few seconds ago. She stared at their naked self under the cover, groaning at the pain that shot through her entire body. She had sex with Jason Lutra, her sister’s ex-boyfriend, fiancé, or whatever. She had sex with him without a single sense of remorse. The only remorse she felt was the fact that the man beside her fucked like a pig. She wondered how her dear sister, Anna could keep up with him for so long. Goodness, he was even snoring in her ears right now and she resisted the urge to slap a hand over his mouth. Last night was not as magical as you might have thought it to be. They’d left the club with hands around each other and for the likes of her, she thought he could at least do somethin
You are making the wrong decision by getting married to that monster ~~ Jason Lutra Caspian hadn’t returned. It has been a total of two weeks and three days but there hasn’t been any news about Caspian on Anna’s path. Her newlywed husband had gone missing from the face of their home. Not even a single call or a single text message did he leave for her. He just disappeared like he never appeared in her life. Yeah, you might call her a nagging bitch right now but whatever. Her anger knew no control. Only the thought of the man was enough to send her screaming and almost pulling her hair out. He makes her go nuts. There had been news about him on the internet. News about the newlywed man taking new endorsements, having dinner with his friends, and even playing golf with them. He had time for all of these, for his fun activities but not for her? Not for making her revenge scheme easier as he promised. Anna paced around the living room, her hand clutching her phone tightly as if waitin
“Boss, you're listening?” Caspian raised his head fromHis phone, his attention returning to the man sitting across him, giving a report of shit he didn't care about. He had been sitting in the board meeting for the past thirty minutes and call him a liar if he wasn't bored. Board meetings weren't his thing. “Yesh, continue,” he nodded. The man continued. “So if we buy a few more shares from them, in the next three years, it's going to be more profitable.”Everyone agreed with him. Caspian gripped his phone tightly, dialing a number and making sure the ring was silent. ‘Damn it,” he groaned when the call got directed to voicemail for the umpteenth time. He had made plans with Jordan. They’d agreed to go pick up Elias from the airport and now he was missing? Where the fuck he went to without his phone.“What do you say, Mr Riordan?” He averted his attention back to the meeting. “Hmh, pretty nice suggestion.” He ran his hand through his lips and continued. “You’re right. In the next
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
