"I... I know I had feelings for you," she finally admitted, her voice barely a whisper."There! You can't even give me a straight answer!" Daniel's shout pierced the tense atmosphere.Without saying another word, he turned to leave, determined to put an end to this heartbreaking charade. But as he took his first step forward, Adrienne's desperation took hold of her. She lunged forward and grabbed hold of his leg."I'm not letting you go until you forgive me," Adrienne's voice quivered, her grip tightening.Daniel's eyes softened as he looked down at her, torn between anger and the love he still harbored deep inside. His heart ached, longing for resolution."If you hadn't been kidnapped that night after you slept with another man, would you have acted like nothing had happened? Would you have broken off our engagement or come clean with me?"Adrienne's heart sank as she realized she had no answer to his question. The truth hung heavily upon her shoulders, and slowly, she released her

"Aww... he wants to save his daughter! What a loving father," Linc mocked him."Where are we doing the trade?" Richard asked, straight to the point."I'll text you the address," Linc snapped and hung up immediately."I'm the one with the upper hand here," he gloated. Linc gathered a few things and his keys. He headed outside his house and as he opened his door, Annabelle was standing there.Linc jumped back in surprise, but quickly regained his cool.""What are you doing here? Have you gotten the money?" he asked her."Good evening to you too," Annabelle replied."Sorry baby, good evening. Have you gotten the money?" Linc asked."Well, I got a hundred thousand dollars," Annabelle said eagerly."I said I didn't want peanuts! What would that gum money do!" Linc fired at her."Linc ..." Annabelle's voice shook. "I sold my two cars and some jewelry," Annabelle said."Couldn't you have at least praised my efforts or said thank you?" Annabelle was hurt."Yeah, you're such a big help with

Ryan saw Annabelle's call and ignored it. She had called him an hour ago and he had hung up on her. Now she was calling again.He didn't care why she was calling. He rejected her call again.He thought she would give up, but she called a third time. He groaned in frustration and answered."What do you want?" he snapped at her over the phone."I'm at your gate. The guards won't let me in," Annabelle said."So?" "Tell them to let me in. We need to talk," Annabelle said."About what?" "Not on the phone. It's urgent," she said."Urgent? Let me guess. Your boyfriend hit you again?" he taunted her."Ha ha. Very funny," she replied sarcastically.Ryan ended the call abruptly and sent a message to the guards at the gate to let Annabelle in.He went to his living room, waiting for her to show up."Wow, he spared you today. You don't have a bruise on your face," Ryan smirked at her when she walked in through the hallway."Are you here to beg?" he sneered."I'm here to ask you a question," Ann

"You are scaring me. I can't see anything," Lisa said, her voice trembling.Adrienne pointed to her nose in the mirror."It's starting to show," she said."What is?" Lisa asked, moving closer to her."My nose. It's growing bigger, as if it's trying to match my belly," Adrienne said, touching her swollen abdomen.Lisa let out a sigh of relief."You scared me there. I thought you saw a ghost in the mirror," Lisa said, chuckling."I feel so proud of myself right now," Adrienne said, a smile lighting up her face. She knew it was temporary, but she loved her body for carrying her baby."Lisa, do you think I'll have a girl or a boy?" Adrienne asked, looking at her expectantly."You'll have what nature wants you to have, and please sit still for your makeup. We're running out of time," Lisa said, picking up a brush."Alright," Adrienne said and closed her eyes, letting Lisa work her magic.After the makeup, Lisa drove Adrienne to the hotel; the one Richard had bought for her as a surprise.As

Lisa parked the car, and Adrienne stepped out, her all-black attire making her appear like a shadow against the morning sun."What's going on here?" Adrienne demanded, her voice firm yet tinged with curiosity.Annabelle turned, her expression a mix of frustration and relief. "Adrienne, thank goodness you're here. I need your help," she said urgently.Adrienne folded her hands under her breasts. "This is the first time we are talking, right? And you are trying to sound informal with me. I don't remember us being friends," she remarked."Let me explain what I need your help with, please, before you criticize or send me away," Annabelle pleaded."I am heading somewhere, so make it quick," Adrienne said, her tone unyielding.Annabelle sighed and began to speak. "I need a place to stay, please. I need you to hide me... just for a few days.""I should hide you?" Adrienne repeated in disbelief."It sounds like you did something shady. I better inform Ryan," Adrienne said, reaching for her

Upon opening the message, she saw they were pictures. Her heart raced as she observed them; they were pictures of Richard cuddled up in bed with another woman."No way!" Adrienne scoffed."Is there a problem?" Lisa asked.Adrienne clenched her fists, anger surging through her veins."Everything is fine," she managed to reply to Lisa.She knew Richard would never cheat on her, especially at a time like this. This was obviously someone else's trick to cause diversity in her relationship with Richard.Adrienne rolled her eyes and swung her phone.***The next day, Adrienne was woken up with her phone ringing, and it was a call from Ryan. She rubbed her eyes sluggishly and lazily answered the call."Hi," she said."Hey, good morning," Ryan greeted."Yeah... what's up?" Adrienne said."I wanted to say hi and check on you," Ryan said."Ohh...""Yeah. How are you?" Ryan asked."I'm okay. I'm good," Adrienne said."What about Annabelle?" Ryan asked."Annabelle? What about her?""How is she? I

As Adrienne entered her house, she was greeted by the smell of fried chicken in the hallway, and her belly rumbled instantly."I am pregnant and I haven't had anything to eat since morning," Adrienne said, clutching her stomach.And, who was preparing chicken? Lisa?She followed the smell to the kitchen and was stunned when she saw the person in the kitchen."Richard?" She dropped her phone and purse to the floor and ran to hug him."Hey, careful," he said as she rushed into his arms."Where have you been? What is wrong with you? Can you stop making me worried? Can you stop making bad decisions? Do you even care about me?" Adrienne fired him with questions."Breathe and relax," he patted her back."Don't tell me to relax. I am so mad at you. So freaking mad! It's been days! And where the hell is your phone? Why was I sent those stupid pictures?!""What pictures? I lost my phone on the day we last saw," Richard said."You sent me pictures of you in bed with another woman who was comple

"Richard, what is wrong?" Adrienne asked."I just missed you so much," he said, though there was a little lie behind his words."Talk to me. Don't keep me in the dark," Adrienne motioned to him."Can't a man shed a little tear?" he joked, trying to laugh it off and stir the conversation into a different direction."I am not falling for it this time. You are trying to divert," Adrienne accused."None of this would have happened if I never chased you, you know. I'd have just stopped Michael if I didn't set up all that at the club that night. You wouldn't be living this life of worry right now. You wouldn't be here trying to catch a psychopath, you wouldn't have nudes all over the Internet, and I am so sorry. It's all my fault, I know. I have caused you more sorrow than joy, I know. I remember how I treated you months back and..." Richard said, his voice cracking."It's okay," she interrupted him."Really, it's okay. We've talked about this. I swear, you are the best thing that happe

"Lincoln is dead."Adrienne was shocked."He is dead? Just like that? Why? How?" She asked.Richard was silent, and when she looked into his eyes, she saw the answers to her questions."You are responsible for this? You had him killed?""I'm sorry. I had to do it for Juliette. I know I should have told you, but I didn't want to," Richard said.Adrienne was speechless. She closed her eyes, trying to piece together exactly how she felt about the situation."I should give you some time to yourself." He wanted to leave, but Adrienne pushed him back, making him lie on the bed.She climbed over him and grabbed his chin."Why should I be mad at you? He deserved to die," Adrienne said softly, lowering her head to kiss him.Richard was so relieved, and he kissed her back passionately.She moved her lips to his jaw, his neck, and his chest and traced a path down to his waistline.She gazed at him with a sultry look in her eyes as she slipped her hands into his pants and set his excited member f

"Prison? What the hell?" Adrienne's voice quivered."Juliette gave that document to the police. She wanted to hurt me after I refused to take her side. The document had evidence of my illegal arms deals," Richard said."Arms deals? That's how you got wealthy, right?" Adrienne asked and Richard nodded."The Chief offered me a deal. He said he would give me the video Rosa sent to the police if I let him arrest me as a 'big criminal' to boost his promotion chances," Richard explained."What? No, that's a terrible deal! That's like trading a bread factory for a loaf of bread. You didn't agree to that, did you?" Adrienne said."Of course not. Rosa's video was useless to us. But I thought about it. I would get caught sooner or later if someone found out, or one of my partners got busted, or someone dug into my past. I know the Chief, so he's being easy on me. He could end our 'relationship' and arrest me with what he has. Luckily, that's not the case. If or when he gets promoted, there

"Boss? He hasn't called himself that in a while," Adrienne thought, smiling shyly.She sniffed the roses and they smelled lovely. She hoped there was a note inside, but there wasn't.She remembered the last time he sent her flowers with a note. It was months ago and the note only had 'I' on it."Where did I put it?" She wondered, searching her drawers. She finally found the note and looked at it for a few seconds."He never finished this sentence," Adrienne said.She set it aside and put on the dress.The dress was black with a strap and a sweetheart neckline and a ruched bust. It had mesh inserts at the waist with vertical lines and draped fabric that wrapped around the midsection. The slit on one side was indeed dangerously high."I am sure he can survive a little skin," Adrienne thought as she admired the dress.Wait. Where are we meeting? Adrienne wondered.She read the note again and he didn't say where they were meeting, he just said 'wear this tonight'.Does he want to meet at

"Hello, Adrienne," he said.She spun around and saw Ryan. Her eyes widened in shock."You're the witness? You're testifying against me?" she exclaimed."What witness? I'm here to watch the trial. What are you talking about?" he asked, puzzled.She snorted and turned away. "Whatever," she muttered, crossing her arms.He sat behind her, still taken aback by her coldness.The door opened again, and this time, the footsteps were that of a stiletto. It was a woman.Everyone turned to see who it was, and it was Annabelle.Adrienne scoffed. "She didn't tell me she was coming to Nigeria for the trial."As Annabelle got closer, Adrienne waved at her, but Annabelle ignored her and went straight to the witness stand.Adrienne's jaw dropped. Annabelle was the witness? After everything she had done for her?She glared at her as she swore the oath."You're in for a rude awakening," Annabelle whispered as she sat down.Adrienne felt her heart pounding, her forehead sweating, and her throat tighten

Adrienne felt a surge of anxiety as she entered the courtroom with Richard by her side. The day was finally here; Linc's trial.She glanced at the defendants' table, where Lincoln sat with his lawyer. He looked smug and confident, as if he had nothing to worry about. He met her gaze and smirked, making her shiver. It brought back memories of the nights she was locked up in that old farmhouse.She squeezed Richard's hand, grateful for his support. He had been her rock throughout this ordeal, always there to comfort her, protect her, and encourage her.The judge entered the room and everyone stood up. The trial began, and Adrienne listened as her lawyer presented the charges and the evidence against Lincoln. She felt a surge of hope as she saw the jury's expressions of shock and disgust. She hoped that they would see Lincoln for what he was: a monster who deserved to rot in jail.Then it was Lincoln's lawyer's turn to speak. He stood up and cleared his throat, looking at the jury with

Linc's body was thrown out of the car and onto the sidewalk as the car speedily drove off. He groaned in pain on the floor. A concerned stranger rushed to Linc's side to help him up, but Linc aggressively pushed the man away. This made other passersby ignore Linc and cross to the other side of the road. Despite the pain, he managed to stand up on his feet, his whole body hurting. As he looked around, trying to decipher his exact location, his eyes spotted a police station, and a smirk etched onto his face."They think they can get away with treating me like this," Linc said maliciously as he limped to the police station. Richard had given him a really bad beating, and he couldn't even walk properly. Every breath Linc took hurt him in his chest because of the impact of Richard's punches. "Darn you, Richard!" Linc cursed.As he entered the station, he collapsed onto the floor, putting on a show. "Help me, please. Help me. I was kidnapped by the Oh so famous Adrienne Davison and her

She hesitantly opened the files, and a flood of videos and photos appeared on the screen."That's a lot," Richard observed.Adrienne clicked on the first video, which showed Linc and Juliette having sex."Huh? Why would she send me this? I thought she promised something life-changing?" Adrienne rolled her eyes in frustration and flung her phone aside."You've been quick to lose patience over small things lately. Could it be the pregnancy hormones?" Richard inquired, concern lacing his voice."Ugh!" Adrienne exhaled in annoyance.Sensing her irritation, Richard extended his hand to soothe her by gently patting her back."Why don't we take our time and carefully review everything on the card?" he suggested."Okay. I'm sorry for snapping," she said with a soft, apologetic tone."That's better," Richard said, smoothing her hair affectionately."Come here," he gestured.Richard picked up the discarded phone, settled back on the bed, and Adrienne snuggled up to him, resting her head on his

Adrienne and Richard kissed passionately while Adrienne gently rode Richard on the bed. It was a slow and intimate dance as Richard’s hands caressed and worshipped her curves.He had arrived at the hotel and their brief conversation turned into a passionate encounter. After their lovemaking, Adrienne laid her forehead on Richard's."That was beautiful," he said, softly caressing her left cheek with his thumb.He then gripped her waist firmly and quickly flipped her over, hovering above her now. He looked at her deeply, still enjoying the afterglow of their passion."Why did you do that? I didn't want you to come out of me yet. I'm feeling hollow now. Empty!" Adrienne whined playfully, feigning annoyance.Richard chuckled. "Come on. We need to shower, and we have to be careful. I don't want to accidentally bump into Amelia. Look how quickly she's growing inside you," he said, rubbing Adrienne's belly."It's Ethan, and I wasn't even moving, so there's no way you could have hit him," Ad

Adrienne had cried herself to sleep and woke up in the evening. She checked her phone and saw tons of missed calls and messages from Richard."Why didn't you say anything?""Are you okay? Did something happen?""Please call me."Those were some of the texts from Richard. She didn't know what to say or how to explain her feelings and instead of replying to his texts or calling him back, she texted Lisa. She made a list of things she needed Lisa to bring and sent it along with the address.Then, Adrienne washed her face, went downstairs, and got into her car.***"What's going on? What are we doing here?" Lisa asked Adrienne as she followed her, carrying two big bags in her hands.Adrienne ignored her and walked quickly towards the entrance of the building. It was a large, white mansion with a sign that read "Joygood Memorial Park". Lisa had a bad feeling about this place. It was a private cemetery for the rich and powerful, where they buried their secrets and scandals, not just the
