“Ouch,” Camila rolled over on her bed. Her face creased into a tight frown, “What the fuck!” She growled.

Her head hurts so bad. It felt like drums were being played inside her head.

She clutched her head tightly, her eyes became blood hot from the immense pain she felt. “Gosh!” She yelled.

A maid rushed over, “Ma'am, this would help with the hangover.”

Camila opened her eyes with difficulty staring at her maid, “What the fuck is that?” She asked.

“Hangover soup,” the maid replied.

Camila took the soup, gulping it down, and after a few minutes she felt better. “What happened?” She said looking around her room.

“Ma'am, you came back home so drunk last night.” The maid explained. “Oh!” She exclaimed, giving herself a soothing head massage to help relieve the pain completely.

She rested her body back on the bed’s furniture trying to recall what had happened.

Last night events flashed through my eyes, everything seemed normal. She had been so busy shooting on the set and had to ta

She slumped dejectedly on the sofa, she had come back here just to set her wedding date with Darren and this was the prenuptial agreement she signed?How the hell would she stick to a dumb marriage that has no benefits? She wasn't Darren's first bride, from the Intel she got, he had been divorced several times.She had no plan staying in a marriage for that long. All she wanted was his influence, and yes of course some of his assets. “There has to be another way!” Camila muttered, she felt drowned by her thoughts. She had clearly stated what she wanted and Darren was far above that. “Of course there is,” Her father broke the awkward silence. She raised her eyelids, staring at him waiting for him to proceed with the solution he had in mind. “This could be rendered void and another one would be drafted, or you forfeit your marriage to Darren,” he responded.Camila felt lost in thoughts, after a f

    “You must have been really desperate that you had to come find me in person.” Emery Hart had barely moved her eyes up to look at the woman standing in front of her. Camila Martin, the new sensational actress who had been making the headlines for quite some time now, was standing in front of her with a huge smile plastered on her face. “Miss Hart, it’s a pleasure to meet you here.” Emery acknowledged her with a nod, and Camila continued, "I have been sending my assistant to Miss Hart for quite some time now, but it seems like Miss Hart doesn't like the deal I am offering her."“It’s not like that, but...” Emery put down the glass she was holding onto and said, “I would suggest you not waste your time here and go to Mr. Harper if you want me to amend any of the clauses in your prenup contract.” Camila gritted her teeth but still tried to maintain calm composure. “Miss Hart, I am soon going to be Mrs. Harper, and I don’t think you would want to be on bad terms with me over a contract?

    Darren went inside his office and sat on the chair while Emery followed him before standing in front of his desk with her arms crossed and resting on her chest. The office exuded a gloomy atmosphere, with a dark grey theme that perfectly complemented Darren's personality.His dark eyes moved up and down on Emery's red bodycon dress, which hugged her curves perfectly.“Okay, I'm here. Why did you ask me to come here at this time?" She asked, trying not to sound as mad as she was.Darren raised his eyebrows while the corner of his lips moved slightly up. "Why did you fight with Camila?"With a roll of her eyes, Emery gritted out her words, "I didn't fight with anyone; she came to provoke me first and then later ran to you to cry. What’s my fault in all this?Darren gave an indifferent shrug, and his smug look never left his eyes. "Perhaps you were just jealous and...”Before he could even finish his sentence, Emery cut him off and spoke angrily, “Why should I be jealous?” Darren’s eye

    “I am really disappointed in you this time, Emery. You have been quite careless with your work for the past few days. I know things have been tough for you but you have to get serious with your work.” Emery’s boss and the senior lawyer of Fortis Legal, Colin Whitaker said to Emery. Looking down at her fingers once, she tried to get a hold of herself. Most of the people already knew who she was and how she was stripped off from her father’s inheritance. Some people pitied her while others were ruthless. “Believe me sir. I have done nothing this time. This article is nothing but a complete fake. Someone must be trying to deliberately slander us.” Emery blurted out. “I know this. But we still can’t deny all the things written in this article. Some of our past clients did get a divorce because of some of the clauses in the contract. So I would still suggest you be vigilant.” Emery nodded her head. Despite all this, she knew in her heart that she disregarded her job. “Don’t worry, sir

    Wandering through the room, she tried to find people who would be of any use to her tonight.Soon she spotted a familiar face: Eric Langford, the young and handsome CEO of a top publishing company.Eric’s eyes lit up when he saw her. “Ms. Hart,” he greeted kindly, stepping closer. “It’s been quite a while since I last saw you.”“The feeling’s mutual, Mr. Langford,” Emery answered as she shook his hand.“Eric, please,” he amended with a pleasant smile. “And might I say, you look absolutely stunning tonight.”Emery felt the blush creep up on her cheeks. “Thank you, Eric. You’re too kind.”“Kind, but honest,” he said easily, his eyes never leaving hers. “Would you care to dance?”Her eyes flickered toward the corner of the room, where Darren was deep in talk but still very much aware of her. A part of her hesitated, but then she thought of his earlier order.Behave.Smiling, Emery put her hand in Eric’s. “I’d love to.”As they moved onto the dance floor, Darren’s eyes darkened. His grip

    Eric got up from his seat. Giving everyone a fierce glare, he turned around and left from there.Emery had been looking at the scene in front of her quietly all along, but soon the cheers of people around her brought her back to reality. “Striptease! Striptease! Striptease!” Everyone chanted these words like all of them had just won and now wanted a prize. Emery's eyes widened as soon as she realized what they all meant. She looked at Darren helplessly, hoping that he wouldn’t be expecting her to striptease in front of everyone, but seeing the smirk dangling on his lips, she got scared. “What are you waiting for now?” “Hurry up!"Some of the men surrounding them shouted, which triggered Emery, but she calmly replied to them, “The match was between Mr. Harper and Mr. Langford, and it doesn’t concern me in any way.” Darren’s smirk deepened as he took a few steps toward her. “But Miss Hart, the thing was already decided."Emery stepped back, but as she could move further back, Dar

    "Go on, then," Darren said in a tone as informal as if they were talking about the weather. But the seriousness of those words was anything but casual.Emery gripped the doorknob tightly, as though it might prevent her from slipping away. She could feel the heat of Darren’s presence behind her, slowly closing the distance between them. Her mind screamed at her to run, but her legs felt like lead.Darren’s footsteps were slow and deliberate, like a predator toying with its prey. Her heart beat faster with each step he took. Him being there made her feel small without trying.He asked Emery, "Where do you think you're going?" He said this in a voice that was dark, funny, and way too calm.Even she could tell she was lying by the way she spoke: "I wasn't going anywhere." Her body was frozen, her pulse pounding, and every sense screamed for her to flee. She tried but failed.Darren stopped just inches away, and she couldn't see anything around her because of how tall he was. He didn't mo

    “Come on! Tell already! I want to know all the details. What happened there?” Jenna said excitedly clapping her hands. She looked at Emery with eager eyes sitting in front of her. Emery blinked forcing herself to stop remembering the last night’s scene. “Nothing happened,” Emery replied shortly and tried her best to Jenna pouted, as she didn’t get the answer she wanted, “You’re no fun, Em. Fine, don’t tell me. I will not tell you anything from now on too.” Emery shook her head at her childish nature. "Come on!" Spill already! I want all of the juicy facts. "What happened?" Jenna demanded, almost leaping in her chair.Emery blinked, attempting to break free from the spiral of recollections from the previous night.

    Emery dashed towards Jonathan giving him a firm headshake, her disagreement so vivid, “You can't be right! You have no idea who is at the door.” Her voice trembled. She didn't understand what was happening. Jonathan smiled, “Of course I do, it's Darren Harper, your ex-husband.” Emery held her breath, “You knew?” She asked.Jonathan laughter rang through the room, “He introduced himself,” He replied, Emery couldn't explain how she felt at the moment. She knew Darren was ruthless and heartless but he wouldn't kill anyone—So she believed. Jonathan on the other hand wasn't a liar, she had seen everything with her own eyes. “There has to be some kind of misunderstanding,” Emery wasn't ready to accept this yet, she had to find out the Truth herself. The bang on the door increased, it sent shivers down her spine. Emery couldn't face Darren now at least not now. “Darren is the devil himself, he could read your thoughts!” Jonathan's voice was laced with words, each word from him etched de

  • Locked in the Devil's Deal   An Accident

    Emery eyes widened in shock, her jaw dropped. These were images of Jonathan on life support. She glanced at the living figure before her and the lifeless man in the photography. She knew nothing about the car crash, it hadn't been announced on the news. She held the pictures firmly examining them, the pictures were inscribed with dates. How come she knew nothing about this?Tears streamed down her face, this was the exact year and date she had gone searching for him. Emery felt he had left her without a trace after toiling with her feelings. Jonathan frowned, he took out a handkerchief and handled it over to her.Emery wiped off her tears and they flowed back out, forcing its way out of her eye socket. The pictures were heartbreaking. Her heart tightened, the image in the photo made her shiver, she felt suffocated around her chest area. It felt like she wasn't having enough air. The warm tears soaked her veil, making it stick to her face, she could barely recognize the man in the ph

    As the man unlocked the door, Emery stepped into the room, enveloped by an unsettling darkness, she felt a chill run down her spine. She stood frozen, her breath caught in between her throat, the air around her felt suffocating. The uneasiness got the better of her. Her palms were slick with sweat as she clenched them tightly forming a fist.Tiny droplet of sweat formed on her forehead, like tiny droplets of dew on a windshield, a physical manifestation of the turmoil brewing with her. Emery was being drowned in anxiety. Emery understood one thing, the stranger was intentionally creating an atmosphere of suspense. She tried maintaining her calm demeanor, it's been a few minutes since they had gotten into the dark room. Emery couldn't feel any movement, she could hear his heartbeat and breath. He had released his firm hands from her mouth; she was still tied to him somehow. The rapid beat of her heart swirled her mind into confusion. This was the second time she found herself in

  • Locked in the Devil's Deal   Bidding

    An idea flashed before his eyes and he smiled, he took out his phone and sent out a text message. Darren sat in front, so Victor Blackwood had no knowledge of his action. “Thirteen million dollars.” Darren raised his bidder card above his head. Victor smiled, he rested his back on the seat. “Fifteen million dollars,” just as expected he raised the stakes. “Fifteen million, Five hundred dollars.” Someone shouted. Darren and Victor turned towards the man's direction. Victor could be heard laughing out loud, he found this fun. The auctioneer stared at the man who had just placed his bid, his gaze skeptical.Emery felt so anxious at this moment, she didn't know how to react to all that was happening. She understood one important detail— If Darren placed his bid, the bidding process would never cease, that's because she could sense that both men are so proud, arrogant and very stubborn. The auctioneer stared at Victor Blackwood and Darren waiting for them to counter the bid, these two

    Nick and Margaret were spending lavishly while Emery had to earn to survive. The whole hall echoed with a round of applause from everyone. "I would charge us with open prayers, this would be followed by the singing of the national anthem." Charlie continued. They stood to their feet in respect to the US national anthem. "Now let's proceed with our program properly. Before that, Cystine, would you do the honor of giving us a glimpse of what would be happening in this afternoon's event?" Charlie said, looking at Cystine. His words stirred in everyone's curiosity. Cystine's face brightened with a smile, "Of course, we would have a Real estate auction, Rare items auction and lastly–Human auction,” she explained, "Human auction?” Emery muttered, she wondered if she had misheard. She turned to Darren for clarity but his icy gaze made her swallow her words.“Through the collaboration of several high personalities and achievers who are all either part or invited by the brains behind th

    Darren made his way into the Auction house and Emery followed closely behind him. Security men stood at the entrance, using their machinery to do a proper search. Emery couldn't help but wonder why the place was heavily guarded. After the search, Darren and Emery gained access into the gigantic hall. Emery had no idea of what the guards had given to Darren, but she wouldn't let her curiosity get the best of her. Darren could have a change of mind if she pestered him with ceaseless questions; so it was best to keep her lips sealed. Emery's eyes widened in shock as they walked into the main hall of the event, there were about a hundred seats in the venue and it seemed they were all occupied. Emery couldn't help but wonder where they would sit— It seems there were no empty seats. She wondered where Darren was headed, he kept moving forward heading towards a particular direction. They had come late, weren't they supposed to sit at the back? She wondered. Left with no choice, she foll

    “You can't wear this!” He said. This was the worst dress to wear to an event. Emery would be selling herself out.Emery sighed in frustration, it seems Darren didn't want to tag her along with him. “Where would I get that outfit?”Darren smirk, he was right before her and she was still asking such a question?He pulled her out of the apartment, locking the door behind them. He drove her to one of the biggest malls in the City. Darren held her hands pulling her towards a particular section, Emery was finding it difficult to keep up with his fast pace, “Darren, you seem to forget who you are. You shouldn't be seen with me in the public.” Emery hinted, Right now onlookers were staring at them. Darren ignored her words, he didn't care about anyone. He had already warned all the press and media, anyone who dared him, would lose everything they've worked hard for. Arriving at the section Darren had in mind, they were both greeted by a mall attendant. Darren brought out his phone showing
