Happy reading
TINA To say I was confused would be an understatement of how I felt at the moment. Everything made no sense, especially how the employment contract suddenly changed to a marriage contract. “I never signed that,” I mumbled, shock written all over my face. Liam who was about to walk back to his seat paused and turned back to gaze at me, his eyes cold and withdrawn. The exact opposite of the guy who drove me home yesterday. “I wonder how you were able to handle your dad’s company with how dumb you are. No wonder your sex video got leaked online…next might be your mother’s if she isn't careful.” “Don’t you dare say a word about my mother. You two-faced bastard,“ I yelled. “Two-faced? No, baby. I'm far from that. This is the real me, you'd better get used to it.” “You've lost your mind,” I mumbled, rising to my feet. This was just madness. My family was in a huge mess and I need to get to them as soon as possible. “Don’t even move an inch.” He grabbed my arm, throwing me back on
RYAN Ever since Tina left home, my family was never the same again. Mum kept blaming herself for being a bad mother, dad on the other hand spends the whole day, next to her, trying to console her. Watching them each day made my heart bleed, they both lost a lot of weight and were nothing like the parents I grew up with. The once hardworking dad had become withdrawn and barely cared about the company. He spent his entire day next to Mum, consoling and trying to put her together. At a point, I considered getting them a therapist but decided against it after Dad told me he was the therapy Mum needed. To make matters worse, Grandmother kept coming now and then to throw tantrums about how the company was being neglected. Grandpa Brad was too old to move around now, and only he could hold back Grandmother. I took responsibility for both companies, directing and managing Mum and Dad’s companies. With the increasing success in each company each day, my workload increased too and at one point
LIAM Right from the moment I learnt about the involvement of the Mills family in my father’s death, I never felt elated with myself. I felt foolish for being friends with them and even trying to help out their spoiled princess. After leaving my uncle’s office that day I reminisced on my life since my father’s demise and realized that my uncle was being honest with me. While growing up, he made me suffer so much and each time he does that, I’m pushed to strive to show him that I could make it. I detested him and each time, I tried my best to be better than him. After getting that call from my private investigator, I realized I’d been very foolish. My so-called brother who doesn’t even have an entitlement in the company was busy exerting revenge in my father’s stead. While I on the other hand was getting friendly with the enemies and being stupid. It irked me so badly that I vowed to do something about it. I've always heard that situations and happenings change people into villains, n
TINA Never did I expect my life to suddenly go this way. First was Lucas almost breaking me, I somehow managed to escape the breakdown. I was genuinely happy that I got a job and would no longer have to live off my parents’ wealth, but then all that changed in a minute and now I've been tricked into a marriage that has no future. After speaking to Ryan at the court, I was hurt and was about to let it all out, when Liam walked into the car. Watching him utter hurtful words to me with no idea of what I ever did to him. I mean we literally just met and I could swear I've never offended him. Sitting next to him in the car and watching him say all sorts of things, made me realize how much I've changed. Lucas’ betrayal had unconsciously shaped me into a calm quiet girl, scared of speaking up. When that realization dawned on me, I felt like beating myself. The past me before meeting Lucas wouldn't tolerate any form of insult. I had a lot of enemies then due to how I always put them in their
TINA “Put me down!” I yelled, frantically kicking and slamming my hands on his back. “Put me down you nameless motherfucker!” I yelled, still hitting his back. Not a word left his lips. “You fool, put me down!” I yelled multiple times but still didn't get a word from him He headed up the stairs, my heart began to beat frantically. I clutched onto one of the staircases, making him halt. He roughly pulled my hands off the cases, injuring me in the process. I whimpered, glaring at his back. Soon, he got into his room and threw me on the bed. “What the fuck did you think you did down there!” He yelled. His eyes had a dangerous glint in them and it scared me badly, but I wasn't ready to back down, my mind was already made up on gaining my freedom and making him tired of this stupid marriage. “I believe we were both down there when those words left my lips. I don't think I need to interpret it further,” I answered, making sure to sound very nonchalant. “You…” He began but paused.
LIAM Getting back home yesterday and seeing how Tina made a mess everywhere was infuriating. It annoyed me greatly that I wanted nothing more than to deal with her, but the she-devil sure had a lot in stock for me. Earlier today, after I gave her the house keys and left the house, I had met up with my alleged brother, Lucas, and after my discussion with him, I saw a thousand reasons why I should break Tina Mills. The saying “Do not judge a book by its cover” has never made much sense to me until this moment. No one could ever imagine that the loving Mills couple were this wicked. They keep misleading the public with their fake act of care, while they perpetrate against people in the dark. “I approached Tina Mills after discovering their parents’ involvement in Dad’s death. My major aim was to drive her crazy and make her end her life after I released the video. But sadly, her brother saved her. I'm glad you got together with her. I'll leave dealing with her in your hands,” He had tol
TINA The moment Liam made the comment about having a pet snake in the room and shut the door. Something rattled at a corner, fear gripped me and a scream tore from my lips. My eyes were fixed in the corner where the rattling sound came from, waiting to know how to defend myself against the so-called pet snake, when two cockroaches crawled out of there. I felt foolish for screaming in the first place. The entire time in there, whenever a rodent made a rattling sound or poked out its head, I coughed or adjusted and everywhere would become still. When an hour passed and Liam was still not making an attempt to free me, I knew I had to take action. Considering how much he values his family, I knew they would be my effective tool against him. So, I made a song downgrading his family. Never in my life did I imagine that the outcome of my wonderful song would be this. My eyes were suddenly clouded by fear as the guys took their position next to me. “You wouldn't dare,” I tried putting up a
RYAN “He will end up falling in love with her,” Mum muttered, smiling dreamily. I was seated in the living room with my parents, watching their favourite N*****x show. Ever since that unfortunate incident, I made it a habit to sit with my parents each day and watch movies and TV shows with them, to console them and let them know that they still had someone willing to stand with them. Tina had taken her own life part, which was selfish like I had always expected. All that was left for me was to build the company and make sure my parents didn't regret having me as their son. I've been working hard on finding the person who instigated the arson on the company, but it has all been proving abortive. The perpetrator seemed to be well versed and knew how to cover his tracks really well. “Ryan!” My mum’s voice resonated, separating me from my little thoughts. “Your phone just dinged,” she said. I quickly picked up my phone. I was supposed to meet a client today. A very important client wh
