The Shot

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

    “If you’re going to look for Ethan, the police called home.” Her head lowered as she readied herself for her next words. “He’s dead!” Silence enveloped the surroundings as Mrs Riordan finished her words. Caspian stared at the woman as if waiting for her to say anything else. When she said nothing, he nodded and asked. “And the body?” His voice was strained and thick. “At the morgue.” Caspian shifted backward and combed his hand through his hair, swiping his tongue across his lips. Although he was never on good terms with his brother, he was family after all and the mention of his death caused a shift in his heart. But it didn’t matter h to though. Because if he was still alive after those shots, he would have finished him himself. “It’s going to be fine,” Mrs Riordan encouraged. “Anna is a strong girl.” He ran his hand through his face and clamped his eyes shut. He only opened them again when he felt a warmth wrap around him. His mother wrapped her hands around his body and pat

    In the early hours of the morning, Anna’s eyes slowly fluttered open to stare at the white ceiling, a frown immediately settling on her forehead. She felt a pounding headache hit her so strong on her head and the memories of the previous day flooded into her head. She suddenly began panicking, her eyes searching frantically for Caspian when she realized that she was in a hospital. She realized that she was unable to move her body and her shoulders hurt like hell. She raised her hand slightly and they fell on a head full of hair. Was it Caspian? She managed to angle her head to the side with so much difficulty and a sigh escaped her lips when she saw Caspian sitting beside her with his head on her bed. She pushed his hand lightly from his face so as not to wake him and she slowly admired his features, his sleeping features. At that moment, she thanked goodness that she was the one hurt and not Caspian. It was a narrow escape from the bullet and if she hadn’t jumped before him, the bu

    Once Anna was settled with Dali and the other two men in the room, Caspian had a chance to leave the hospital for a while, to leave her side for a while. He began to make his way out of the hospital, his footsteps light and unhurried. He didn’t waste a second before getting into his car as he got to the parking lot, immediately turning it on and speeding out of the premises, heading toward the Riordan mansion. Why was he driving in that direction? He just needed to go see and confirm that indeed Ethan was no more. In less than fifteen minutes, his car drove into the mansion of the Riordan and he threw himself out, marching toward the main door of the house.“Mr Riordan,” the head servant greeted with a bow as he stepped in. “Welcome.”“Where is my father?”“In the living room with your second brother.”Nodding, he stormed his way to the living room and stopped for a moment when he got in, his eyes falling on the two men who sat opposite each other in the living room.

  • Heiress Rebirth In Revenge   The Funeral

    “And may the soul of Ethan Mars Riordan rest in the almighty’s right hand. You can now drop your final gifts.” The funeral of Ethan Mars Riordan was a small affair. Only a few family members and friends were invited on the rainy Friday evening for the funeral ceremony of the late Riordan. Every invited member was dressed in expensive black wear as expected and they all held an umbrella each to protect themselves from the drizzling of the rain. The atmosphere was thick with tension, the fake cries and wails from a few people reverberating in the air, taking over the sounds of the drizzling rain. As the priest stepped aside from the entrance of the mausoleum after spraying some holy water inside, everyone made their way to the grave except for Caspian and Anna who stood a few meters away from everyone. They started as the guests dropped their flowers and paid their last respects to the dead. “Are you okay?” She peered up at him. His eyes were covered with thick dark glasses and she w

    “Take off your dress,” Caspian ordered as he returned to Anna on the bed with a first aid box in his hand. “My hand hurts,” she whined.He sighed and grabbed the hem of her dress before pulling it over her head, leaving her in her panties and bra. He opened the first aid box and wore a pair of hand gloves. “Is it going to hurt?” She asked, her fear evident in her words. “Mother changed your bandage before, didn’t she?”“It’s the first time you'll be helping me change. Mother has a very soft hand but not you.”“I’ll make it painless.”Before getting a hold of her arms, he kissed her on her lips shortly and pulled away, beginning to peel the bandage off her skin, his eyes on her face, watching her every expression and the small cries of pain. “I’m sorry.”Once the bandage was away from her skin and now on the floor, he stared at the red spot on her skin and then he returned his gaze to her face. “Fuck, I asked you to be careful, Anna. Look at your wound.”“I was careful.”“No, you w

    The silence in the living room spoke volumes as everyone sat uncomfortably on the couches, silently waiting for the Riordan family doctor to arrive. Elle sat on the couch opposite the grandmother and next to Mrs Riordan, shifting in her seat every now and then. Her heart skipped a thousand beats when a corporate-dressed man stepped into the mansion, short and bearded. He walked behind the family’s head servant and stopped when he stood behind the grandmother of the family. “Older Mrs Riordan,” he greeted, his head lowered. “Mr and Mrs Riordan.”“You’re here, Marcus.” The old woman rose from her chair to face the doctor. “Please come in.”“Thank you.”They both stepped to the couch where Elle sat and the woman pointed at her. “She’s the one who’s pregnant. I’ll appreciate it if you take the blood samples and test them with my late grandson’s. You have our blood tube at the lab.”“Of course.”The man sat beside Elle on the couch and placed his briefcase on it, opening it to reveal the

    Anna had asked her husband to give her some space not to disappear for the whole night and the morning of the next day. After she’d calmed down the previous day, she’d waited for Caspian throughout the night all to no avail. She had even tried to call him but his phone was switched off. If she hadn’t calmed down, she would’ve gotten even more angrier. How could he leave her all alone in the cold bed when she needed him to cuddle and whisper that everything would be okay? Today, she wore a light satin dress that wasn’t a night dress nor was it a proper dress for leaving the house. Earlier the servants had informed her that Wendy was in the living room and for the first time today, she decided to leave her bed and go downstairs. She opened the door of the room and began to make her way down the stairs that led to the living room. From the top of the stairs, she sighted Wendy who sat on one of the couches and her eyes glistened in excitement. “Wendy,” she called, waving her hands at he

    Everyone's eyes widened at the announcement of the result by the doctor. It was like the couches now burned their skins as they all rose from them, their mouths wide open in shock. Anna included. Although she'd expected the outcome of the result, it also came as a shock to her.“Wh…what does that mean?” Elle asked with a shaky voice, shaking her head in disbelief. “It means that the tested person is not the father of your baby, Miss.”“What the hell are you saying? It’s my baby and I know who the father is.” She turned to the older family members. “You all have to believe me. I don't know what he’s talking about. Ethan is the biological father of my baby. It’s my baby and I’m sure of that.”But the doctor was already getting dismissed by the older woman of the family. He grabbed his briefcase from the servant and began to make his way out of the mansion back to his car. Everyone's attention was now focused on Elle. She cowered backward in fear at the burning gaze that the family thr

    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

  • Heiress Rebirth In Revenge   Jason’s Infidelity

    “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
