~~Wayne~~

A FEW HOURS AGO.

As I drove to Damien's company, I got a call from my mother, and I picked up immediately.

“Hello, Mother,” I said, immediately picking up.

“Are you out of the hospital yet?” She asked.

“Yes, Mother,” I said, my back still twitching with pain.

“Good, Make sure you come into the office with Damien, I need everything to be perfect”

My hands tightened around the wheel “Do you have to get stabbed for this to work, Mother?”

“Yes,” She responded curtly. “I won't die as long as you do your part. “Understand?”

I nodded. “Yes, Mother”

PRESENT TIME

~~Vanessa~~

“What does this look like?” I asked standing in front of a mirror as I tried on wedding dresses.

“Beautiful” Alex responded in awe.

“Yes but former or latter?” I asked spinning to see the back.

“It depends, do you want to look beautiful? Or sexy?”

I bit my lower lip in thought then finally spoke. “Sexy”

“Then this one!” She yelled.

We both shrieked in excitement. Then suddenly, my phone began to ring.

    My breathing grew ragged as Harry explained everything. “Dad, are you still there?” He asked. “Dad?”“I will be in America as soon as I can; call somebody to get my son out of prison; we are rich, goddammit! Use it!”I yelled, hanging up immediately. “George!” I yelled. My eyes searched frantically.“Yes sir?!” He responded almost immediately. “Prepare my plane, we are going to America” I Instructed. My children are suffering because of my past mistakes. I covered my face in shame. What a bad father I was. I needed to find Katherine and settle things between us before it got out of hand. ~~Vanessa~~I sat in the bathtub filled with water. My eyes closed as I thought about Damien. I wish I could be there with him. My eyes shot open as I heard the bedroom door open. “Who is there?” I asked but no response followed. “Harry?” I called again.Suddenly, the bathroom door pulled open, and Damien stepped in. Damien?!Without asking any questions, I jumped out of the bathroom, rushin

    As the nurse led me to Katherine's room in the hospital my fists clenched. I have not seen her in years. She must have changed a lot, but still carrying a grudge from years ago?Sigh. “In here, sir,” The nurse said, reaching for the door. “Stop”She paused, turning to look at me. “Leave, I want to go in alone” I instructed. She nodded, turning to leave. My fists loosened as I reached for the door. I exhaled sharply and pulled it open. “Katherine,” I muttered as My gaze caught her lying on the bed. Her gaze shifted to me, her eyes widening in surprise. “Well, this is a surprise,” She groaned, sitting up on her bed. “I knew you would come running to save your son but I didn't know you would come here so soon”“Katherine,” I said, walking towards her. “What do you think you are doing to my family?Her jaw clenched. “Your family?” She scoffed. “Soon, there will be no one for you to call family, and I will end you!” She snapped. My brow furrowed. I had never seen so much hate in he

    “Vanessa, please,” I begged, gently pulling away from her grasp.As I approached the door, something struck me from behind. I froze. Slowly, I turned to see her shoe on the ground. My head sprang up to look at her, my brows knitting together.“Did you just throw your shoe at me?”She sobbed. “Yes, what do you have to do? Do you want to hit her? Give her more reasons to lock you up?”She breathed shakingly. “It's our wedding night Damien, we should be together, so don't walk out on me”My jaw clenched as I approached her. She immediately took a step back, fear flickering in her eyes. .“What are you doing?” She ran across the room. “Are you angry? I'm sorry” She begged. As I drew closer, she took off her other shoe, throwing it at me, but I caught it. “Stop!” She cried covering her face.“Ouch, Vanessa, did you think I was going to hurt you?” I asked, pulling her hands away from her face. She looked at me, her eyes still wet from tears.“You are not?”My jaw tightened even more, my g

  • LOVE AND VENGEANCE    CHAPTER ONE

    Well… I died. If I had been told a month ago that I would be killed by my fiance and his mistress I would laugh in the person's face. But here I was … drowning. My eyes slowly closed as the water filled my lungs. PRESENT DAYMy eyes sprang open with a loud gasp. Gasp? I was breathing. How? I was supposed to be dead. I was sure I drowned. Suddenly, the door flung open and two women in scrubs rushed in. They appeared to be nurses. The loud beeping sound of the monitor on my left must have attracted them. That was when I realized… I was in a hospital. Why would Raymond take me to a hospital after attempting to kill me?One of the nurses rushed to my side. Reaching into her pocket she pulled out a penlight and began to examine my pupils. “How are you feeling now, Ms Blackwood?” My brow furrowed. Ms Blackwood? That wasn’t my name. “I will inform her husband that she has awakened,” the other nurse said and rushed out. My eyes widened in fear.No… She was going to tell Raymond that I w

    ONE MONTH EARLIER As the car sped past buildings, I stared blankly out of the car window, the faint memories of what happened before I died playing in my head. I had hoped that it would stop playing but it didn't. The day it all happened…. It was our wedding anniversary, I had called Raymond earlier that I couldn't make it because of a meeting but fortunately, the meeting was canceled. Excited about seeing my Raymond, I rushed back home to surprise him. But Instead, I was surprised. There was a romantic setup in our living room. Candles were lit. Rose petals were scattered beautifully across the floor, and gifts were on the table. It was the perfect anniversary…or so I thought. Why would he light the candles when he knew that I wasn't home? I asked myself. Just then a loud laughter erupted from the bedroom, it was Paige’s voice. I was shocked but there had to be a reasonable explanation, so I went into the room. They were both naked and he lay on to

    Mornings used to be my favorite. Waking up next to Raymond. Morning kisses. Cuddling me with his big strong arms. I always used to feel so protected. But now, I hate it. I lay on the bed staring blankly at the ceiling as the sun peered through the Windows. I was exhausted. I couldn't sleep all night. Every time I closed my eyes I saw Raymond drowning me. It all felt so real as if I was dying all over again.And in all that time I have realized that Raymond wasn't the man who cheated on me. No, he was also the man who tried to kill me. He tried to take my life and he was walking around a free man, running my company while my body lay in a hospital in a coma.But it's good. Not being able to sleep gave me some time to plan my revenge. I was going to ruin Raymond and Paige's relationship. My plan was going to be ten times more sinister than hers. They were both playing checkers. I on the other hand would be playing chess. Raymond? I know him inside out. Making him fall in love with me w

    I had always envied people who were in love. The happiness that came with it, the clinginess, the affection. But that was all a Lie. Now that I was looking from within? I have realized that it was all a lie. I could feel hate growing within me. Hate for Raymond. Hate for love. “Elizabeth?” Dave said, moving towards me. “Are you okay?”“Stop!” I snapped waving my hands at him. This was all too much to take in. Elizabeth had a relationship outside her marriage.There was a loud ding and soon the elevator slid open. Quickly I rushed out. “Elizabeth what is it?” he asked, walking out after me. “I lost my memory!” He halted. The atmosphere grew tense as his gaze seared through my skin, I couldn't tell what he was thinking.Finally, he spoke. “You don't remember anything?”I nodded.“I do not”.Hopefully, this was my chance to end whatever was going on between them. “So you cannot kiss me from now on”“Liz” he protested walking towards me. “Stop!” I gasped. I needed to get out of this p

    “Yes,.murder” She responded, her voice steady.As I opened my mouth to speak she cut in. “I will leave you to rest.” With that she walked out of the office, the room shutting the door behind her. “Murder?”~~Vanessa~~I lay in bed, wrapped up in a blanket, as my mind reeled with thoughts. How did my life get like this? I was a complete mess and I knew it. I heard footsteps approach the room; excited, I jumped out of bed. “Damien?” I said pulling the door open. He smiled weakly at me. “How did you know it was me?”“You are the only one who comes up here,” I said, wrapping my hand around him in a tight hug. He lifted me up in his arms. Wrapping my legs around him. “How is Wayne?” I asked her and walked into the room, placing me carefully on the bed. “Vanessa” He breathed against my lips, his eyes searching mine. “How are you?”“I'm fine, Damien; I have to be,” he pushed me, causing my back to lay flat on the bed, and climbed onto me. “Are you scared?” He asked.“Raymond doesn't s

    ~~Katherine~~My stomach tightened as Harry approached us. He looked exactly like Zane. Or was I tweaking? Zane was just three when I lost him. My heart raced faster as Harry's sharp gaze shifted to me. “Who is this?” He asked.“Oh, this is…” Vanessa's voice trailed off. She turned to look at me. “I'm sorry, what was your name again?”I swallowed hard.“Katherine” I managed to let out, my voice barely above a whisper. “My name is Katherine”“Ah, Katherine,” Vanessa said. “She is going to stay with us until her car is fixed. Vanessa explained. Harry nodded, turning to face Damien. “Can we talk?”“Of course, brother, what is it about?” “Follow me,” Harry said, turning to walk off. Damien turned to face Vanessa. “Do not leave the house,” he instructed before turning to follow his brother. I swallowed hard. Could it be Zane? My mind flashed back to twenty-seven years ago. It was racing violently and my twins Zane and Wayne were playing in the living room. But suddenly Wayne runs to

    “Stay in the hospital for a while,” My mother instructed. My brow creased. “What?” I muttered. “Make her feel obligated to take care of you when she does that, she will feel a bond to you, the man who took a bullet for her, and then you can't get close to Damien remember the plan and stick to it Wayne, make it look real”I exhaled sharply. “Of course Mother”“Do not disappoint me, Wayne,” “Yes, Mother,” But before I could say anything more before I could finish, the line went flat. I clenched my phone tightly. In my hands, anger boiling inside of me, I threw it across the room. I didn't care about the Davenport family. Did they abandon my pregnant mother years ago? So what? We are thriving without them; only my mother cares for revenge, and I'm tired; I just want her to love me. Is that too much to ask?~~Vanessa~~Damien rented out an entire restaurant opposite the hospital. “Damien, you shouldn't have done this; other people need to eat, too,” I said pretending that I was

    A rugged smirk formed on Raymond's lips. The sound of police sirens filled the air and immediately, he dashed off. I looked to my left and saw the ambulance arrived. “Thank God!” I gasped. Two of them rushed in with a stretcher in their hand. “I am over here!” I cried. They rushed towards me and I quickly pulled away from Wayne to let them do their job. “Vanessa!” Damien growled, rushing into the place. My head turned to see him, his eyes searching frantically for me. “Damien?” I yelled rushing towards him. He wrapped me up in a tight hug, his hug telling me words that his mouth couldn't say. “Blood,” he said, his voice barely audible as he pulled away to look at my hands. “It's Wayne's blood,” I said quickly. I turned to see Wayne being rolled out of a stretcher. “It was my fault,” I said, throat dry. Damien's hand squeezed mine tightly. “No, it's not”I quickly shook my head. “No” I gasped. “I saw him. Raymond”Damiens brow furrowed. “What?”“He was on the roof of the
