It was like the heat inside the room became cold in an instant. My body was still jolting up from the shock given to me. I continued to swallow hard everytime I stared at those green eyes that didn't leave my face. I couldn't believe this was happening all this time and I didn't know about it. I wasn't a popular girl and only a few important people knew me because of my father but not once did I see myself as anyone important to be keeping tabs on. I had no enemies as far as I could recall and it hit me whether this man was pissed at my father for something he did in the past. “Is...all this due to my dad? Where you along those people who...lost their shares and investments in the...”“Fraud case?” He finished my sentence after cutting me off. He smiled enjoying seeing my yet another shocking expression on my face. I blinked letting it all sink in. My body trembled even more knowing that this man knew everything not just about me but about my parents too. “Who are you?” I frowned a
Mason gently laid me on the backseat of his car before shutting the door behind him tightly with a slam making me almost jump off the seat. I looked outside to find the duplex already engulfed in flames. I turned to my left and right and saw many of Mason's men. They were much in number and they all had guns and weapons on them. I watched as the almost nothing from the duplex burnt to the ground. Nothing was left and my heart picked up a fast pace seeing the entire burnt up duplex being taken down to the ground into nothing but sticks of bricks by the ruptured rising flames. I imagined if Mason hadn't arrived on time then I wouldn't be alive right now. A ball of saliva formed and hooked beneath my throat at the thought of that. I darted to the front and saw him talking with one of his men leaning against his car before I froze when he turned around to stare at me. I immediately looked away leaning and resting my back against the backseat. I hissed on trying to move my legs but the
Mason kicked open the front door with his left feet while carrying me in his arms. He walked in and I was welcomed with a gushing of lovely fragrance filling the air. The interior was even more spectacular. Lots of antiques on the big display shelf by the right corner of the living room. A large aquarium was built like a sectioning wall between the massive living area and the long hallway leading to the stairs, dining area and kitchen. A large LED TV display hanged on the marbled gravel grey walls. The paintings on the wall were all grey and looked rustic with the edges of the walls from the types of bricks used. I was beginning to think whether Mason was just obsessed with the colour grey and black because anywhere he took me, it always either had grey or black as the main colour. “It...looks lovely.” I whispered still ogling around the interior of the beach mansion while clunging both my arms around his neck tightly. “I haven't been here in years.” Came Mason's reply making me s
I arched my back in response to his sudden lips against mine. They felt warm and cozy that my mind became a bit hazy for a brief second. His kiss was so longing and his arm went to round my back giving me a little pinch forcing me to open my lips. He struck his tongue into my mouth without any wastage of time. I had to press myself back feeling a bit of pain again at my back as Mason kept on clashing his body against mine putting his weight against mine. I closed my eyes and trying to keep up with the fast movements of his tongue but couldn't. I had to put both my hands on his chest to push out a safe distance. I was beginning to loose my breathing and forced him away from my lips a few inches apart. We both were panting at this point and I gazed at him with my lips parted to suck in oxygen. I swallowed hard before asking him why he was doing this. What was he thinking to suddenly plant a kiss on my lips without any warning or issue.After trying to catch my breath to normal I eyed
I heaved a long sigh as the silence continued to be crashed out by the heavy rain outside hitting the glass claddings and windows continuously. My eyes were now hurting as tears filled them. Having to recollect all those hurtful memories since my breakup with Christian to having gotten married to Mason. It was a painful one that my chest churned everytime I thought about it that I couldn't stop tears from forming in my sockets. I couldn't even remember when last I was genuinely happy with my life and where I was. I could recall vivid images of my time being happy with mostly Celine and a bit of my closest friends but it was a long time ago. I didn't even have their contact numbers anymore. My stomach sank even more realizing for the past two or more years that I haven't been happy with my life. It was only about trying to pretend with a forced smile that I didn't even know what it felt like to smile for real. The silence continued without any word except for the rain not wasting it'
“Don't you dare yell at me woman!” Mason hallowed out frowning and portraying his face to be that of a ruthless ravaging beast ready to attack me. I wasn't scared of his death of hell glares. I was used to seeing them and I knew that he always had that angry expression on just to scare me but right now I wanted answers. I needed answers. Why he saved me was still bugging me in my mind and now followed by the sudden kiss he gave me. I wouldn't say it was unpleasant but rather...surprising. “You can't keep me quiet right now with your angry face. It won't work this time. Answer me Mason! If am just the same eyesore wife you once thought of me or are still seeing me as that....” A lump formed down my throat. “You have to answer me right now Mason! I want to know where I...”I gasped and shot my eyes wide as they both stayed fixated against a pair of fine greyish eyes. His gaze was deadly intent and focused as if searching through my soul. He had reached in front of me in only three long
“How do you feel right now?” Emma asked me. I winced softly on the comfortable bed. It was a four poster bed and looked so elegant with patterned designs on the bedsheets. It was alluring and matched with the some sort of weird patterns on the curtains. I wouldn't lie. It was a lovely design. I knew Mason to always bring out the best of artwork in all his residence. I smiled facing Emma. “Am hanging in there with the pain.” The pain had long subsided after Emma applied a heating balm on my back. I knew she wasn't an expert in the field but I could only trust my truth with her as only she knew and no one else. “You know I was very shocked when your husband called me to have your broken spine checked on. But then I wondered what was the reason and... I think I know the reason.” Emma folded her hands tightly shoving her fingers past her upper arms as they rested against her chest. She cocked an eyebrow. She eyed me suspiciously.I licked my lips trying to avoid her suspicious stare do
Mason's POV Why was I feeling this way? The unanswered question kept pricking my brain every second. The kiss I shared with her still lingered in my septic senses. Her lipmark still stuck to my lips and her body sent filled through all the parts of my clothes. Fuck! I loosened my tie before gulping a shot of beer. I hated how we left off with a fight but hell she fucking slapped me across the face.No one had ever dared to hit me. Not even my idiot dad or mom. I even hated myself for getting upset and lashing out at her. The look on her face which always had fear for me didn't sit well with me. I used to love making her fear me and see terror in those brown eyes of hers but today I couldn't help but get my chest tight and my stomach flipping over. It wasn't a good feeling at all. I raised my two fingers in front of the bartender to fill my glass up again while my head did give me a slight warning of my drinking habits. I turned around still seated on the stool and watched the club b
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
