I bit my lip feeling out of place all of a sudden. Mr Sahid's question had totally thrown away my confidence. I had somehow forgotten about that scandal but it seems not Mr Sahid. I looked at Mason from the corner of my eyes and I knew straight away he was glaring at me. Though he smiled widely, I was already accustomed to know when he was angry behind that smile. “What bad manners you have Mr Sahid.” Mr Ford spoke with distaste. Unlike Mr Ford, Mr Sahid was a much younger man. A man in his early thirties and I caught a smirk form on his lips as he eyed me a while ago. I immediately felt very uncomfortable.“Well I...”“No dear. You don't have to feel obliged to respond to such humorless jokes.” Mrs Ford stopped me giving a glare at Mr Sahid. It was now Mason spoke. “Well concerning that incident with my wife. Well it was a slip-up on her part.” My eyes slightly widened in shock before I turned to look directly at him. I felt his hand tighten on my thigh underneath the dining table.
“That child won't be ours. I told you I don't want a child. This is just my dad's obsession of having an heir. Got that!” His tone was harsh, stern and threatening. All three mixed together to form a scary combination.I gulped staring at him before my eyes went to Rosalind. If he didn't need to act in front of her then my intuition was right. The two were close. But I couldn't help but wonder how he could be so cruel and heartless. Even though the child would be ours. I didn't want a child especially with him but now circumstances forced all this to happen. “Now stop with that thought erupting in your little head about having any ties with that baby because it won't happen and do you know why?” He suddenly smiled holding me close. “Because you don't need one. Am enough. Am enough for you to pamper and spoil, right?” I didn't respond and kept looking at him. I still wonder why I was surprised by his behavior. I shouldn't be anymore and expect almost anything bizarre from him at this
I returned home in a terrible and sour mood from the hospital. And adding to my misery, Mason didn't let me breathe and as usual had his way with me. I wondered when I was going to be free from him. I knew I needed support. There was no way I could do this alone. Recollecting how because of me Patricia almost lost her life. And I didn't want to put anyone in danger for my own selfishness. I wondered at what point in my life I became so weak and submissive. I wasn't like this before but it was just Mason had a hold on me. He controlled me and I hated to accept that this was the truth. I was busy in the kitchen cooking some breakfast when Rosalind walked in. It had been a week since she arrived and I made sure to stay far away from her. She didn't give any good vibes and screamed red flags. She did try to get close to Mason in these last week but the man never gave her the attention. Somehow deep inside me I wished he did so he would leave me alone and in peace. “I want an omelet wit
“Let me help you with that Mrs De Luan.” I heard the doctor behind me. She was rushing towards my side making me to panick more than I already was. “...No it's fine.” I was quick to grab the pregnancy kit first and shoved it in the bag before she reached me. She helped me in picking up the vitamins while I picked up the painkillers. My head was hurting now.I smiled her way and thanked her. She was a young doctor. She was older than me. Probably in her late twenties OT early thirties. But she had a kind heart. That I could see. I stood up to my feet and thanked her before heading to my room. I threw the bag on the bed after removing the pregnancy test out. I looked at the instructions before my heart pounded like crazy. I silently prayed once I looked up at the ceiling. My eyes clasped closed and I murmured a brief and short prayer. I wanted the result to be negative or I was done for. With that I stepped into the bathroom and did the procedure. I sat on the toilet seat for five min
I shuddered and rested more on my chair. I felt myself shrinking slowly into the chair as the truth flooded before my eyes. I was pregnant. I didn't know how to feel. “Congratulations Mrs De Luan. You must be ecstatic...” I looked up to meet her smile slowly disappearing as she met my feared expression. “Is something the matter Mrs De Luan? You don't look happy.” Emma asked softly while I remained silent. My eyes then went towards the door. Mason was behind that door. Under any circumstances did I want him to find out like this. He deserved to know that he was going to be a father but I couldn't tell him like this. Dropping a bomb about this on him will send me straight to my grave sooner than later. My heart began to pick up a rapid pace and my hands suddenly slided down to my belly. I had a life growing inside of me. A life that could be affected by the emotions I felt. I didn't know much about pregnancies and babies but I knew this much that a mother's feelings whether positive o
“Are you maybe pregnant Sierra?” I froze on the spot and stared at her blankly. She gave me a narrowed look of suspicion. I opened my mouth slowly to speak. I wondered whether to tell her or not. I already had this feeling that I could trust her. I thought to say but heard footsteps before Mason's voice boomed into the living area.“Of course not Mrs Ford. My wife isn't pregnant.” My heartbeat quickened and immediately closed my mouth. I immediately tried acting all natural. Mrs Ford swung her head from Mason back to me. “Don't you want to have kids Sierra?”I spared a glance at Mason before choosing the right words to say. Of course I couldn't blurt out about my pregnancy in front of Mason like this. “Of course I do Diana. But...”“We've hired a surrogacy for that Mrs Ford. As you can see my wife doesn't want to go through the stress of nine months and hence we decided to opt for surrogacy when we're ready.” Mason walked towards me and sat by my side. Mr Ford also sat next to Diana a
My eyes squinted at a sudden light trying it's best to peek into my sleepy closed eyes. I stirred before groaning in annoyance. The light didn't seem to dim but got brighter penetrating and disturbing my sleep. I hadn't slept this much since the incident two days ago. That day tormented me and I couldn't move for two days. Seeing her all smiling with her idiot husband in front of the cameras made me realize the bitter truth. Her belly was also starting to show a bit and one could tell she was happy from miles and miles away. Did that mean she had lied to me. “Fuck!” I growled more before grabbing my pillow to place over my head before I popped my eyes wide open at the sound of her voice. Was I hallucinating or did I just hear her voice. “Rise and shine.” Fuck I was loosing my mind right now. “Mason? Are you up?” The voice came again. I threw the pillow and looked behind me narrowing my eyes a bit as I adjust to the brightness of my room. I blinked and looked at the woman standing i
“I don't love you anymore Mason!”My body shooked violently and I gulped with widened eyes. I stared blankly towards the wall in front of me. My hold on her arm quickly loosened and fell towards my side. Silence filled the space. I stood there without moving except the shooking from my body. I completely froze.I heard her tiny whimperings but my body was too numb to even move nor say anything. I heard her whisper something under hear breath. Am so sorry. I heard her say before I heard the door leading to the outside of the restroom. She ran out. I stood there for a few minutes. Her sharp words echoed and drummed inside my head. It didn't seem to leave me and I blinked coming back to reality. My harsh reality. One where no woman could ever truly love me because of my ties and connections with my family's mafia.Maria knew about my ambitions. She knew everything I wanted to achieve. And she was damn cool with it. What changed all of a sudden. I clenched my jaw and swiftly rushed out o
Author's POVA little girl stared outside the car window from her side in the backseat. Her magical blue eyes couldn't help but admire the whole scenery of outside. The landscapes and mountains that peeked their heads from the horizons. The walkings of the people outside having transporting back and forth because of their day to day activities.She loved watching all of these and her eyes slightly lighted up when she spotted birds flying into the sky spreading their wings out. She knew their beaks were opened which meant they were probably chirping in this early hours of the morning. But too bad that she couldn't hear them. The birds were so far away and she couldn't hear their chirping sounds nor the people bustling around their car outside. How she wished she could hear all of these activities of life and feel like she was part of such a wonderful and creative world. Instead she always felt invisible because of her issue. And it seemed it had become a part of her.The car parked on t
I stared at my wedding gown that was hanging on the wall close to me. I was still in my white silky robe with her hair done perfectly in a neat updo. A hair pin laced with tiny shreds of golden plate stones was used to set my hair straight and perfect. It wasn't at all messy. My eyes were brighter than ever with the lovely bright golden mascara adorning around my eyes. I was seated against the huge pink vanity and the oval long mirror hung in front of me showing my beauty. I wondered how Mason will react in seeing me while walking down the altar.A smile formed on my lips when I knew this time it will be different. It won't be like the first time when we were both dragged into a marriage of convinience. This time we were marrying each other for love. This was my dream and I still couldn't believe I would definitely have a happily ever after. All my life I had never been faced with a man who truly loved me for me. My dates back in high school were only random and it was only on occasio
I was over the moon when my wifey came to me with the most wonderful news ever. I couldn't stop smiling and beaming from ear to ear. It was so beautiful and my heart leaped out and filled with nothing but happiness and admiration. I stared at her with my tear filled eyes looking down at her. She was an angel. A goddess made just for me. She had given me the best news ever and I was so happy and overjoyed.She came forward to cup my face and smiled before revealing her pearly white teeth in amusement as tears rolled down from her eyes. I could see the pain was long gone. It had all vanished into thin air and only happiness was seen all around her. I always saw the pain deep in her eyes despite the fact that she smiles and laughs all the time. But deep down she couldn't get over what the doctor had said at the hospital after her accident. She was beyond shattered and distraught and I feared she could do the unimaginable but she was my fearless woman. My queen. Even though the news had af
“What have you decided wifey?” Mason asked me. I sat on the floor resting my head against the bedside lost in thought. My eyes were already red and dry. I felt awful inside but it was good that I knew the whole truth and my reality. This was the reality and I had to embrace my reality.“I'll talk with her.” I said and held the bed to rise up on my feet. Mason grabbed me and helped me stand up before I looked into his eyes. “Will you come with me?” I asked and his lips curled up to form a small smile. He nodded and my heart felt okay and at peace. I knew he would always be with me and never leave me all alone. Despite the deception and lies performed to unite us, we overcame all obstacles and now we were happily in love with each other. Now I didn't care about what his family thought of me. I only cared about Mason and my family. I made my mind clear to only care for the people who truly loved and cared for me in return. I was done being weak and crying all the damn time and allowing pe
My lookalike that I had gotten to know by the name Sienna cupped my face as tears formed underneath her eyes. She had the same eyes as me. Her body posture also resembled mine. Our hair color matched perfectly. She was a carbon copy of me in the making and I still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that I had a twin sister. Why was that even possible. Why didn't my parents say anything and even worse, where was she all these years? I had so many questions.“It's been so many years Sierra. Not once have I forgotten about you and wanted to see you again. I wanted to meet with you. I...tried.” She said sniffling and held both my hands and kissed them. I gasped once Mason pulled me away from her and made me stand behind him. His face was hard and vicious. His eyes were stoned on Sienna as if he could easily kill her with his angry penetrating eyes.“Stay away from her!” Mason growled and I stared at him shocked before turning my eyes back to my supposedly alleged twin sister who looked
The doctor and the nurses got in to check on the run over woman while Mason and I waited outside. My head was throbbing and I was feeling so unsettled. I still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that I had a lookalike. It was crazy and unbelievable. She looked a lot like me. I would even go as far as to say that we were twins but that wasn't possible as I don't remember having a twin. Am an only child.“Are you okay wifey?” Mason sat beside me with worry and I smiled with a nod. “We should go back to the hotel and let the police handle that....woman,” Mason suggested. I turned my head to Mason. “But we can't leave her at the hospital alone. I...” I saw Mason's face harden for some reason and he looked away upset. I wondered why he was upset at me. “Hey?” I held his chin and made him face me. “What's wrong? Did I upset you by choosing to help her? I couldn't just leave her here and plus, she looks like...”“She's nothing like you okay!” Mason growled stunning me right away with surp
It had been a week now and there wasn't any sign of Sienna. I had expected after the blast our picture caused all over social media, there would be some signs of her appearing out of th shadows but it seemed she was way too smart that I gave her credit for. I had to do something big. Something to close up this chapter of Sierra's awful past once and for all. And something that won't get Sierra hurt in the process as well. Of course I've always wanted to do this and was waiting for the right time. But it seemed that there wasn't any perfect time than today which was Christmas.I immediately dashed out from my thoughts when I felt Sierra's hand touch mine. I turned my eyes from the window towards her. “What are you thinking of?” She asked. I smiled and shooked my head. “It's nothing. Just rummaging through a few thoughts.” I answered making her smile as she neared me before she rested her head on my shoulders. “You smell nice.” I murmured earning a low chuckle from her. “Thank you.” I he
I was quick with my errands at work as I wanted to spend the whole day with Mason. Our work here in New York was done and we were soon to shift back to LA but I opt to stay back in New York for a while at least until after Christmas or probably the new years.I got a phone call from mom after I grabbed my coat heading outside from the office. “Hello,momma?” I said placing my phone against my ear and passed by Bree's office to see her and Darren conversing pretty well. It was the first time I had seen Darren so vastly interested in talking with a woman besides me and it made me smile to know that there were other fishes in the sea and not all about his ex. I just hoped he would realize it sooner.I didn't interrupt them and just walked past heading out. I had sent a quick message to Mason few minutes before I was done with my work. The message had two lines thicked blue and in a few minutes, a loud car honked outside our branch office.“How is papa doing? And you?” I asked as I opened
I got a startled awake from my wifey and she looked worried for some reason. I had to sit straight on the bed with a smile on my face. Now I didn't want this moment to end at all. Seeing her face in the morning before my eyes could even stare down at my morning wood. I could easily get used to this feeling of always waking up every morning to see her by my side.“What's the matter baby?” I asked and reached out my hand for her to come to me. She had her fists tightly round her phone but I didn't pay much attention to that. “Come here. Come to your daddy,” I said smiling and her smile didn't fully touch her cheeks. She came to hold my hand and I immediately nessled her unto my lap to feel my morning hardness. “Do you feel that wifey? I want to be inside you right now.” I said smirking but her enthusiasm wasn't appealing at all and I just had to ask.“What's the matter baby? Tell me.” I asked looking all serious as I pecked her long neck. “I want to...ask you something?” She began and I
