I Wedded My Rival 58
The first ray of sunshine hit my eyes and my lids flew open. I lying in front of the window and the full glare of the sun was directed on me. I tried to get up but something held me down to the bed. I looked down to see Joseph’s hand wrapped around me, his forearm directly on my naked breasts. The events of the past night came rushing back and my disorientation was swatted away.The jackass had been so gentle with me the whole time. I had been so angry that he was using my emotions as a leverage to get to me but he had turned it all around. We had made love and it had been the best night of my life. I had screamed all night, Sarah and Marcus completely forgotten.The night dress was discarded carelessly in a corner. The sunlight reflected on my bare skin and the dried sweat on my body shone. I quickly put on the dress and walked to the door. I turned back to look at Joseph before leaving. The sunlight reflected beautifully on his face, his new stubble scattered across his jaw and his

I had been in my room for several hours crying my soul out. My eyes were sore and red and my voice was gone. A knock came on my door and I turned to face it. Who the hell was that.The knock came again and this time it came on harder. “Leave me alone!!” I yelled.“Open the door Ma’am. I just want to talk.” He said. I looked at the time. It was already three minutes past five in the evening and I had not had anything all day.“Go away Marcus.” I said once again. My door was pushed open and I turned around swiftly to see the intruder.“I told you to…” the word caught in my mouth because the person in front of me was not Marcus, it was my cruel husband, Joseph.“Get up and get dressed now. We’re going to see Marcus off.” He ordered. He was acting like his old self now. The old self that didn’t give a damn about me or my emotions. I had been thrown of balance in the morning and the euphoria of what we had shared the night before still played in my head but now I was clear headed and ready

Joseph pulled away from her and stared at her. I stood at the samespot and I could not still believe my eyes. What the hell did I justwitness. Sarah held my husband and stared into his eyes, she held hishand and said something to him. He nodded and he held the dooropen and Sarah got into the car. After he shut the door behind her,he stood and looked at the end of the garage, directly where I wasstanding. He stared at the figure in front of him but could not tellwho it was.I quickly turned and walked towards the exit. I wanted to turn andwatch them but I could still sense his eyes on me so I continueddown the way to the exit.The rev of an engine told me that Joseph had gotten into his car, thecar soon drove past me and I took to the time to glimpse inside thecar. Sarah was smiling to herself inside the car, she looked so pleasedwith herself after stealing my husband. Joseph on the other handlooked lost and tired. He looked like he did not want to be there. Butif he was

Joseph was sitting on the big king sized bed and was completelyconfused. How the hell did he get into this situation. Sarah was in thebathroom showering up while he sat and stared at the ceiling.Life was getting to fucking complicated, it had all been so easy andstraightforward when he had been a bachelor. Felicity had been thecornerstone of all his woes in college and he had thought gettingmarried to her would get him the retribution that he wanted andalso ease the pressure of getting a wife for his grandfather. But hehad never planned on falling in love with her.Yes that was the truth. He had fallen in love with the woman he hadmarried to torture and what was more surprising was the fact thatshe had fallen in love with him too.“Joseph why are you so quiet, are you alright?” her voice echoed infrom the bathroom.“I am alright.” He responded gruffly. He had thought about notresponding to her but that would not have been of now value.She stepped out of the Bathroom stood

I had waited for almost an hour when I ran into an old business investor. The middle aged socialist smiled at me and shook my hand.“Hello MRS Stone, it has been ages since we last saw each other. Are you alright?” her smile was lost when she saw the tears rolling down my face. I had completely forgotten where I was and I quickly wiped the tears away.“I am fine Jessica. How have you been?” I forced a smile but the elderly woman did not seem to buy the act. “I have been alright. Are you sure you are alright? You don’t look so good.” She asked again with concern. I placed hand on her shoulder and smiled.“I am alright. How did you find me?” I asked desperate to turn the conversation around.“Your phone, I saw your location on Snapchat.” She said with and blushed. It was more than a little bit weird to be checking my location for no reason and she obviously knew this.“I wasn’t stalking you though, I was just trying to check my daughter’s location and I saw that you were close by.” She

Sarah walked to the window and looked down at the city’s skyline. She was so pleased with herself, she was so pleased with what she was able to accomplish. It had become sought of a streak, no man could resist her and she could get anything she set her mind to. She had proved it once again after she had bagged the biggest name in the united states, and her cousin’s husband, she thought gleefully. She had always been jealous of her cousin, she had had everything she had ever wanted but Felicity had more. Her father was the chairperson of a branch while Felicity’s dad had been the head of the entire company hence his daughter had been treated like a goddess and Sarah had hated it. Then her the company crashed and her father lost everything, her family was almost thrown into bankruptcy but she was now a big model and she had the means to take care of her family. And she had also heard that Felicity had lost everything and was nowhere to be found.Who could have thought that dreams did c

‘I have to be the same person I have always been. I have to be the person my father wanted me to be. This was not me, this has never been me and this was never going to be me. This I truly promise.’A young woman In a nurse’s uniform was standing in front of me scribbling something on a note pad. I was completely disoriented and could not think straight or properly. I was not in a hospital, the room was very familiar but I could not recall which it was. It hurt too much to think so I just lay there on the bed and tried my best to stay calm.The nurse looked at me and smiled when she saw that I was awake.“Hello ma’am, how are you feeling?” she asked with a smile. I stared at her and did not respond. She checked the monitor and walked to check another machine that was at the end of the room. The room was enveloped by the serenade of constant noise from the machines and my headache was peaking constantly. It felt like I got hit on the head by a gorilla.“What-what happened to me?” I ask

Pain is the herald of life. To grow you must know pain, to advance you must embrace its message and to succeed you must pay heed to its lessons.’The nurse looked at my husband and breathed a sigh of relieve. “Mr Dale, you are back. Your wife was found in her bathroom. She had fainted and the hospital was called.” She told him.“is she alright now?” He asked quickly. Sarah walked into the room with a pretty dress that I was dead certain Joseph had bought for her. Why were the both of them here. Joseph did not care for me and his act was getting on my nerves. I rolled my hands in a fist and my headache was now a rhythmic pounding. Sarah looked at me and smile happily.“Your wife is more than fine. In fact she is pr..”“Pretty healthy.” I quickly said, cutting the nurse off mid sentence. Joseph stared at me strangely and I looked away. “She is pretty healthy?” he asked confused.“I am pretty healthy. Where have you been Husband?” I asked, adding extra emphasis on the Husband.His face

I hesitated, with my heart racing. I was aware I shouldn't get close to anyone in this new project let alone build attachment as I was willing to risk my life and put an end to this, but Iskander's sincerity was undeniable."Iskander," I called out with a whisper, my eyes searching his face. "You've already done so much for me. I don't know what I would have done without you."I stepped closer, my body drawn towards his like a magnet. I could feel the warmth radiating from him, the strength in his arms. The moment seemed to slow down, as the world around us began fading into the background."I know I shouldn't," I said, with my voice low, I was feeling things I couldn't explain. "but I can't fight this anymore."Iskander's hand cupped my face, his thumb brushing against my cheek.I leaned in and closed the distance between us with my lips finding his in a kiss that was both gentle and passionate. I could feel the surprise in his body, a momentary hesitation that quickly dissolved into

The bright and sunny sky with the fresh warm air greeted me as I stepped out of the plane, holding Austin tightly in my arms. My heart, still beating rapidly from the events that I had just experienced, my heartbeat began to slow down. I couldn't believe we had made it out alive, let alone escaped to a place of safety. Glancing over my shoulder, I saw Iskander guiding the babysitter towards the terminal. The sight of him, rugged and determined, filled me with a sense of relief and gratitude As I made my way through the airport, the sight of normalcy around me contrasted sharply with the chaos and danger I had faced back in Hawaii. Yet, even as the adrenaline began to subside, my mind was already fixating on one thing which was retribution."Enough," I muttered under my breath, a strong determination replacing the fear that had gripped me earlier. "I'm going to find out why Sarah is after me, and I'm going to end it."Austin's soft coo snapped me back to reality. I glanced down at his

The babysitter laughed with her bandaged arm at Austin. “He's always looking for one reason to cry,” she said. “No, he's just unhappy that his mother is crying, that's how he consoles her,” He said.We drove for hours, through the city and then out into the countryside. The babysitter was quiet, her eyes closed as she rested. I tried to stay alert with Iskander, scanning the landscape for any sign of danger. But the soldiers seemed confident that we were safe, and eventually, my nerves began to settle. As we drove further and further from the city, I started to relax. The soldiers were highly skilled, and I felt confident that they would keep us safe. I looked over at the babysitter, who was still sleeping peacefully. I felt a wave of gratitude wash over me. She was safe, and I was glad she survived, I didn't want her to be part of something she knew nothing about, and being the victim through death would make me hate myself.We pulled into a street and the soldiers led us through a

Iskander kept mute for a while, then he sighed. “All right, who is this soldier you seem to trust so much,” he said looking at me.“Soldier Bellion” I replied immediately. “You trust him? You just met him”. Iskander said looking like I said something wrong. “She is a female actually, But I address her by her third name since her first is Sarah.” I stopped to catch my breath. “Since Sarah is trying to kill me, we had to use another name” I added. “I see,” Iskander said slowly. Just then Soldier Bellion walked in, she reduced her pace as she stared at Iskander critically. “Is he your brother?” She asked as she stood between the both of us. “No no, he is not” I quickly responded. “I am so sorry,” Soldier Bellion said. “This is a first,” I said grinning. “First what?...” Soldier Bellion asked. “So you see the question usually goes ‘Is he your husband’ This is a first to be ‘Is he your brother?’ I explained softly to her. “I understand now” she nodded. “He is my bodyguard,” I told her. I

"I'm with some soldiers," I say, trying to keep my voice calm. "They're taking me somewhere safe.""Where are you?" Iskander asks again, his voice insistent. "I need to know where you are."I take a deep breath and tell him the location. I can hear him let out a sigh of relief. "I'm on my way," he says. "Just hold on."I nod, even though he can't see me. I'm just relieved that both of them were fine.The Soldiers guard me and Austin to their Barracks. They leave me with guards and a female soldier who attends to me. I could tell Austin was hungry. “Please Ma, can I get a spot to breastfeed my baby” I ask as Austin begins to whimper and stretch his arms towards my chest.“Surely there is, follow me,” she said with a smile. She walked me into a room that seemed like a dormitory. “You must be hungry, I'd get you something” she spoke with sympathy. “Oh no, it's fine I'm okay” I quickly replied not wanting to bother her. “You are a breastfeeding mother, I've been a mother too and if your

My heart suddenly went cold as tears streamed through my eyes. I heard Iskanders Car explode over the phone. For some reason, my eardrums seemed to be functioning. I looked down at Austin, whose blanket was adjusted for him to breathe. My son seemed to understand the situation as he didn't try to play or grab anything. He just fell asleep. I wanted to break down and curse out loud, why me? Why do I always have to be on the run?Suddenly I spot five cars from the side window. I needed no soothsayer, to let me know they were after me. My engine roared as I increased my speed and sped off, taking off one arm regularly to secure Austin.The trees and houses by the road almost felt like I was in the car race which I played as a kid. The wind was whizzing by as I raced down the road. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, my breath coming in gasps. I've never driven so fast in my life, but I know I have to get away from the men who are after me. I can see them in the rearview mirror,

The chef chuckled “You have such a bubbly kid, try this one” she said handing me another. It was awesome when it melted in my mouth, It wasn't ice cream but it was awesome. Iskander and the babysitter shook their heads in satisfaction. “Thank you so much for this” Iskander said as we rounded up and our stomachs filled to the brim.Austin had a swell time as he slowly fell asleep. “I'll see you all tomorrow, do have a good night's rest,” Iskander said as he left for his room. “Madam, should I take him for a bath” The babysitter asked as she tried to carry Austin. “No, don't worry I want to be with him, I'd bathe him myself” I replied as I waved her to her room.Bathing Austin was easy, he was barely awake except when the water touched his skin and he quickly slept off from there.I took my bathe and secured Austin with a pillow, kissing his forehead before my head hit the bed.Sarah strutted about the mansion “Why are these men finding it difficult to pick up a call !” she yelled to th

“My son is a clingy young man, moreover the baby supplies here are a bit harsh on his skin. We'd have to get new ones tomorrow”. I replied. “Aww, so that's what he was trying to tell us,” the babysitter said moving closer to him and rubbing his cheeks. Austin chuckled like one who was not about to bring down the roof with his wailing a few hours earlier. Iskander yawned loudly, Austin seemed to watch him as he even chuckled more. “Now you are laughing at me?” Iskander asked as he dragged his foot. Austin seemed to be In good spirits for the evening as he kept smiling and wouldn't let anyone, not even the babysitter touch him.“Guess what guys,” Iskander asked grinning. “You got a secret phone for Austin?” The babysitter responded. “Haha, that will be crazy,” I said laughing. Iskander looked stunned “That's some guess,” he said “but it's not correct” he added. “Fill us in already, I'm bored,” I said. “You can't be bored In Hawaii,” Iskander said. “Yeah I thought so until the stranges

The boy looked at them nervously. "What do you want?" he asked."We're looking for information," the other henchman said. "We're willing to pay for it." He pulled out a wad of cash from his pocket and held it out. "We need to know the room number of one of the guests." The bellboy's eyes widened at the sight of the money, he gasped as He glanced around, checking around to see if anyone was in sight. Then he took the cash and shoved it into his pocket. "What's the room number?" he asked, his voice low.“That's the information we need, we have the picture of the person” one of the henchmen replied. The boy's expression turned sour. "I don't know if I can do this," he said, looking confused. "I could get into huge trouble."But then the money was too much and way beyond his yearly salary he thought and he agreed to help. He led them to a secluded part of the hotel, where they planned on how to receive the information.Felicity's pov Back in the hotel room, I got hungry and quickly orde
