CORA'S POV "Breathe, Cora." He whispered softly and immediately, my tension disappeared. I felt relaxed instantly and I began to inhale and exhale, shutting my eyes close. "Good girl." Oliver said after what seemed like a minute. "Now open your eyes." I did as he instructed. "Focus, Cora. Focus on the lady before you. Stare deep into the eyes of this beautiful woman, shut out every other thoughts and concentrate on her only. Open your heart, search her eyes and tell me what you see." He said and everything else became still that moment, his hands were no longer on my shoulders and I couldn't feel his breath on my ear anymore. I blinked severally, shutting out the million thoughts going on in my head and stared at the painting. Concentrating only on her eyes, I stared until I felt nothing within or without me. I stared immensely, searchingly at those eyes that were mine and in that moment, something unusual occurred. At this moment, I was looking into my own soul. I saw my bat

CORA'S POV "Look at the empty canvas, Cora," I did as he instructed. "Good, now hold my hand." I looked at him as he raised his right hand _which held a paint brush_ to the canvas. I leaned forward and slowly raised my hand, carefully placing it over his, on the canvas. While his hand held the brush, mine supported him. "Perfect. Now close your eyes and think about the healing you're getting and the representation of the new you." He instructed once more and I did as he said, closing my eyes and thinking about the broken lady whose soul I'd peered into, thinking about the new woman I'd always envisioned of her. "Guide my hand Cora, and together, let's reflect HER through art on this welcoming canvas." I heard Oliver whispered encouragingly. I breathed in and exhaled heavily. My mind went back to search my soul thoroughly and I felt my hand moving and directing his, against the canvas. I didn't know what I was doing; but one thing was certain _I had become a changed p

CORA'S POV Few days later, I was already a master of my own with Oliver's exceptional teachings. I've never met anyone as unique as him. Today was the last day of training but I don't think I was ready to let him go. I admit, I've fallen for him but there's no way I'm telling him. What if he doesn't feel same? I would end up humiliating myself. Our last training was scheduled for evening and I was in my office, organizing a few projects when Mira walked in. "Ms. Connor, you have a visitor." She announced. I raised my head from my laptop to her with a slight frown. "Mira, I remember telling you I wouldn't be seeing anyone today. No business meetings today so why..." "I'm sorry to interrupt you, but it's that guy from before, Mr Hart. Should I instruct him to return?" She innocently asked. "What? No!" I said quickly. "Let him in." My heart was hammering hard against my chest in excitement and anticipation of seeing him. What in the world is wrong with me? "Alright, M

NARRATIVE The smell of cotton, old wood and the scent of brewing herbs, made the way to Natalie's nostrils. She blinked severally when she opened her eyes, trying to adjust to the bright light in the cabin. She frowned slightly on discovering she was lying in an unfamiliar cotton bed and environment. Slowly, she scanned around the wooden cabin and instantly sat up when she found an unfamiliar man, sitting on a stool in a corner, watching her. He was masculine and shirtless, he had long black silky hair that fell down his shoulders. He had an attractive face and a clean jawline, his thick lashes conceal his hazel eyes. He had a somewhat huge frame and one of his fingers stroke one of his full brows as he watched her. 'You're awake.' He said and Natalie easily picked up his accent. He didn't sound native american. 'Who are you? What is this place? How did I get here? Gabby...Where's Gabby? Where's my husband?' She queried as she struggled to get off the bed. 'Relax, lad

NARRATIVE 'Mr Stranger, are you a pervert?' Natalie asked as she shot him a daring, threatening glare. He chuckled and leaned back, raising his hands in surrender. 'Relax ma'am, just kidding.' He grinned. Natalie rolled her eyes away as he stood up. 'I'd help you find him tomorrow. There's food in the kitchen if you're hungry, I'm retiring for the day. Goodnight.' He walked away. Only after he was gone and she was assured that she'd find Gabby in the morning, did Natalie lifted the bowl of herbal drink to her lips.___ Gabby opened his eyes to see a beautiful woman with orange dyed hair, bent over his face as she tried to clean his healing wounds again. 'Hi, handsome,' she purred. Her voice was seductive and Gabby blinked several times in uncertainty. He was in an unfamiliar house, on a bed with a temptress of a woman scantily dressed. He sat up immediately and stared at her in confusion. 'Who am I?' She chuckled, asking the question already on his mind. 'I'm

NARRATIVE He shut his eyes tight when he looked at her and found her pushing her firm round fleshy boobs into his face, her erect attractive pink nipples winking at him from her transparent thin blouse. With every power he could muster within him, he reminded himself that his wife was out there, possibly searching for him. Gabby raised his hands to get her off him with his eyes still closed, unfortunately, he ended up grabbing her boobs instead of her shoulders. His eyes flew open instantly and to his bewilderment, He was holding the lady's fleshy boobs. She smirked at this and pushed his hands upwards, aiming to have his fingers caressing her nipples.

He loves her so much and wouldn't do anything under his sanity, to disrespect her. Besides, Lee's tits are much more attractive.

ARLOWE'S POV “I’m so sorry, babes. I got carried away with my fling and failed to look after you well, even when it was I who took you there.” She apologized sadly. “It’s not your fault, Nick, so don’t be sorry. I have even more stunning news for you.” I led her to the bed and showed her the note, the mask and clothes the masked individual had left for me. Nicky was as stunned as I had been. Also, I showed her the text I had gotten from the unknown contact that was likely Adams Hathaway. And again, she was stunned silly by the absurdness of the whole situation. I mean, this was a man who seemed hell bent on making sure I was punished because of some misunderstandings and he was definitely aware that up until yesterday, I was his cousin’s wife so what in the world was he thinking? After some moments of silence and bewilderment, Nicky suddenly spoke up. “We would have to contact the attendant who supposedly led you to meet Adams Hathaway yester night. Then, we would be

ARLOWE'S POV "The fuck, Arlowe! I've been calling since forever! What the hell happened to you?!" Nicky worriedly yelled the moment my call went through. "N-Nicky...I... I..." My voice broke as tears rolled down my cheeks. "Babes, are you okay? I couldn't find you at the club. Where are you?" Her worry was so evident in her voice. My hands trembled as I held the phone to my ear, one hand clutching the duvet to myself while my eyes roamed around the room fearfully. "I'm... I think I'm in a big mess, Nicky. I...I must have... I can't believe I..." I stuttered through my words, not even able to comprehend or even say what my situation seemed like. "Arlowe, tell me, where are you? What do you see?" I pushed a hand through my messy hair in my frustration and the duvet fell to my waist. "I swear I don't know. It seems like a h-hotel room," "What!" Nicky gasped in disbelief and I sighed, wiping my tears. I couldn't believe it either. But the reality of what I had

ARLOWE'S POV Several minutes later, we arrived at the most popular nightclub in town. And I turned to stare at her with uncertainty. "Relax, Arlowe. We got this." She smiled and adjusted my skimpy dress. For us to successfully blend in, we had to dress for the occasion. This was Nicky's idea of helping me resolve my issue tonight and it was the only way possible at the moment. She had received a rare information which came with a high monetary price, that informed her of Adams Hathaways' location at the moment. He was said to be at this Palatial Club tonight. And it was the only time I had to see him and possibly plead his understanding face to face before I would receive the court order tomorrow. And although, the idea of coming here didn't sit well with me, I just had to since I'm really desperate. I have never been to a club before, so I don't know how these things work. Thankfully, I have Nicky to guide me. "Let's go," she smiled at me and linked our arms toget

ARLOWE'S POV It's absolutely ridiculous and unbelievable how my whole life could turn around from bad to worse within just a day. The more I think of it, the more perplexed and horrified I feel. Who would have imagined that I would get into trouble with a man I had never seen or even know what he looks like?Defamation of character and slandering? Ha! Isn't the accusation even heavy in the mouth of that Jonathan Kingston? Probably, the walls now have ears. Since it seems words I said in my anger and frustration, while at Eric's place, has now somehow found a way to get me in a deep shit hole. Just some days ago, I had yelled back at Eric in my anger over the ill-manner he was treating me and had asked him to go find the source of his problems and sort it out, and that he stopped pouring his aggressions on me. In my words, I had said, "I am not the cause of your frustrations, Eric. Go find that mysterious zillionaire cousin of yours whom you feel threatened by that you

ARLOWE'S POV Some hours later, I arrived my family home in Seattle and my family's coldness towards me was even worse than ever before. Apparently, the news already reached them even before I did. Grandfather must have received the news already. It was obvious that once the marriage was ever over, the business alliance between both families was over too, as well as all the goodies that came with partnering with the Hathaways' Starlight Group of Companies. Grandfather's icy blue eyes stared piercingly at me and I immediately knelt before him with teary eyes. "I'm so sorry grandfather, I tried to stay back and save my marriage but Eric was so determined to throw me out." I apologized even though I did nothing wrong. "I told you she would bring nothing but shame to this family," Kennedy, my mother's older sister said as she walked in the living room and went to stand behind her father. "You're just like your mother. No, you're much more worse than her. I would never have

ARLOWE’S POV “Eric please, you must reconsider. You can’t do this to me! You’re ruining my life!” I pleaded with tears running down my cheeks. But my husband wasn’t even paying me the slightest bit of attention as he tossed my luggage at me, not minding how the boxes rolled down the stairs to fall at my feet. “This marriage is over, Arlowe. Take your things and get out of my house. I never want to see you again.” He coldly stated as he turned around to return to his room. However, I couldn’t let him do this to me without a fight. My family would never forgive me. I would become an outcast in society. I hurried after him and held his shirt, “Hubby please don’t do this to me. I promise not to complain over anything again. You can bring in whomever you want to the house and do whatever you please with them. I won’t disturb or argue anymore, just please don’t abandon me. Please, babe,” I looked up at him with teary eyes, but his cold obsidian eyes glared back unflinchingly at
