I slowly parted my eyelids open. My eyes were dazed by the blinding light, forcing me to shut them up almost immediately. I was more surprised to find myself surrounded by a few people in immaculate white dresses all gazing at me in anticipation. They seemingly had been waiting for me to open my eyes.

“W...Where am I? What am I doing here?” I asked, darting my eyes from person to person.

“Oh she's come around. Great improvement!” A man in a doctor's attire said, with a grin, ignoring my question.

“Go call her husband at the waiting room, perhaps he might want to see her,” he directed his gaze at one of the nurses that stood closeby.

“Alright doctor,” the slender lady replied and left.

“Don't worry, you'll get to know later,” the doctor said, lips curled into a reassuring smile.

Turning to the second nurse that stood by, he said,

“Go get her the drugs now!”

She quickly did as she was bidded. He left afterwards.

Soon after, the door opened and closed. My eyes rested on the familiar f

    Liam's POV “I lost my child! That bitch of a woman made me lose my child!” Evelyn winced in pain while I stared at her with a stoic face. I menaced towards her, the icy stare on my face threatening. I gave her a dirty slap at once. “How dare you say that! How dare you call my fiancée a bitch!” I boomed. She trembled under my gaze, sniffing in her nostrils while painful tears rolled down her eyes. Evelyn had just returned from the hospital, the pain of the loss of her child evident on her. While I felt pity for her, it thrills me to find out that she lost the pregnancy. I'm the most eligible bachelor in town after all, I can't be stuck with her for too long. I won't let her pin me down with her bastard son! As for Olivia being the brain behind Evelyn's kidnap, I wasn't too surprised about that. Olivia had already sworn to make her life miserable, so no doubts about that. This perhaps, is just the tip of an iceberg. I'd never have to protect the weakling from the other woman. No wa

    “Hello Lucas!” I said, peering at the woman sitting opposite me with the corner of my eye.She appeared stunned by the name I mentioned. Yes, she ought to be, because he was her ex-fiancé, who is now her stepsister's husband. He was also a manager of one of my companies in the city. I decided to speak to him in her hearing, since there was nothing to hide about it.“Good day Mr Wright. Trust you're doing great. I called to inform you that your presence is needed at the grand opening of the new branch in NYC tomorrow. You're expected to show up with your wife, as courtesy demands,” Lucas reminded.I paused for a while and inhaled deeply. The idea of going along with this pathetic woman didn't sit well with me. Besides, the evidence of the pain of losing her unborn child was still engraved on her miserable face. Why are they always hell-bent on me showing off my hired bride at all occasions I attended? Wasn't she hideous enough? Who would want to look at such a pathetic woman with a de

    Evelyn's POVI watched with disgust as that crazy woman snatched Liam away from my side, after glaring mockingly at me and stood next to him close to the stage. I felt used and manipulated, since I was only attending this ceremony to please him and he ended up choosing the other woman over me, despite our supposed marriage status. She was expensively dressed and had all that was desirable in a woman that I didn't quite have, making me feel intimidated. But what hurts even more was that she was the one that made me lose my child. She plotted it all. I knew it. I will make her pay for it!"Hello ladies and gentlemen," the chairman of the occasion began. "We all are welcomed to the grand opening ceremony of the Wrights Entertainment company branch here in Queens, New York city. I hereby welcome Mr Liam Wright, the formidable CEO of Wrights Entertainment and his lovely wife." Liam and that bitch of a woman walked gracefully to the stairs in their festive attires that draped with luxury,

Moments of closeness and friendship while running around the playground and staring into each other's eyes and telling each other that you're in love and fantasizing about a perfect future together. So was the case with me.As I stared at Lucas walking into the mall with the other woman, hands entwined in each other's, I couldn't help but feel fluttering butterflies in my belly. It grew so wild that I could barely hold myself. I thought of cornering him to a quiet place and telling him just how I felt about him, but gave up on the idea, not sure about how he'll react to it, especially because of the presence of the other woman. Just when I was about to give up, another thought flew into my mind. Maybe I should send him a quick text, one that is pretty much difficult to ignore, telling him that I

    Evelyn's POV“You! You ordered my kidnap! You made me lose my child in the process! How could you be so callous? I'd make you pay for this!” I ranted in frustration as my eyes met with those of Olivia.“Twark!” Olivia's palm brushed heavily against my cheek, imprinting a burning sensation on it. “How dare you? How dare you accuse me of being responsible for making you lose your child?” She spat, her chest rising and falling, like she was ready for a fight. “You should be glad you lost it. Do you think you'll ever stand a chance to be a mother to the Wright's heir?” I held my hurting cheek as it burned with severe pain. It was typical for me to look weak and pathetic before her, but I decided to brace up this time. I can't take this any longer.With a strange confidence I didn't know I possessed, I stretched out my palm and gave her a resounding slap, equal measure of the one she gave me, if not more. Olivia's eyes widened with shock. Her jaws dropped all of a sudden, while she batt

    I felt uneasy at once, the uneasiness that came with not knowing what would result from telling him exactly what happened. I fiddled with my fork and fixed my gaze at my plate, paying more attention to the tiny bit of vegetable than to lodged between the tooth of the fork, than I did he. “Talk to me, what happened?” He cooed, placing a hand on mine across the table.Mesmerized by his soft touch, I raised my face slightly and peered into his face. He appeared calm but resolute. I could hardly stare into his face for long. I looked away shortly after.“I… Uhmm…” I slurred.“You did what? Did she hurt you?” He thumped at my fingers, igniting electrifying waves that spread throughout my whole body.He stroked my fingers soothingly with a smile on his face. I felt a little worried, despite his reassuring smile. What is really going on? Why's he being so calm and kind?Mustering courage, I parted my lips and said,“She slapped me.” I began and paused, taking a deep breath. “She slapped me

    Liam's POV“Fuck!” I cursed, as I strode to get the door, my heart still pulsing from the intimate moment we had.Swinging the door open, I watched as Olivia stepped into the living room, with a desperate look on her face. It reminded me of the sorrowful demeanour she wore earlier on, when she came crying to me earlier. I paid her no heed and even got angrier at her because she hurt Evie. I'm glad Evie was just on track to put her right in her place.“What else do you want? Haven't you done enough?” I asked, in a stern voice, obstructing her way in.Hissing, she pushed me aside slightly and settled on one of the couches in the living room.“You can't even let me in. Why do you hate me so much? Are you falling for her already?” Olivia asked, like she was expecting a queen's treatment.“You are evil and that's why I don't want you here anymore. You should leave!” I howled at her.“What? Liam? How could you be so callous? Don't I at least deserve to stay?” she asked pathetically.“You l

    I trudged closer to her, but she took some more steps backwards. She was hurt. She was broken. I needed to show her how sorry I was. I needed to make her understand that I'd never hurt her again, that never in my existence would I let her be hurt by anyone whosoever again. If only she would give me a chance to express how I feel. If only she could give me a listening ear. If only she would…“Please Evie! Please. I'm deeply sorry for what I did to you,” I apologized for the umpteenth time, but it seemed I wasn't talking to anyone.I felt a strange hollowness engulf me suddenly, a dark shadow of emptiness clouding my senses. I needed someone who would listen, to vent my emotions and to feel relief of uplifting the burden from my heart. Evelyn was heartbroken. I have done so much to cause her excruciating pains. All I felt at the moment was deep guilt and pity for her. I've never felt so sorry for anyone else all my life.“Please Evie, you have every right to hate me for this. I accept f

    I could hardly wait for my antenatal care session to be done with. I've had just enough of everything. I should have just ended it all long ago, that way I wouldn't be involved in this mess. Just when I lost hope, Frank waltzed back into my life and instilled a fresh hope and now he's leaning me shattered and heartbroken.“Miss Lisa, come forward, please,” the doctor motioned to me, indicating that it was my turn to be attended to.“Okay, doctor!” I said and moved to the chair opposite him.He outlined the necessary medication and suitable meals, rich in various nutrients that should be taken by me. I thanked him and left afterwards, after giving Evelyn one last scrutinizing gaze.Frank was supposed to drive me back home. He had said he'd report at the hospital in thirty minutes' time, but unlike him, he didn't show up even after more than an hour's time. I wasn't so bothered about that anyway. He was the cause of the heaviness I felt in my heart and I wouldn't want to have anything

    “It's another day to go see the doctor!” Frank reminded me, with a kiss on my forehead.Getting out of bed, I stretched groggily and slipped into my flip flops and took to the bathroom to get ready for the day's antenatal session. I carried out all my daily routine and in about an hour, Frank dropped me off at the hospital and left afterwards.I strode heavily into the doctor's office for some medical check-up before I proceeded to thehospital's gynecology section, where the antenatal care was being provided. “Good morning, doctor!” I greeted with a faint smile, as soon as I got into his office.“Morning, ma'am. Welcome to my office,” The doctor replied curtly, raising his gaze to meet me, his eyes particularly on my protruded belly.“Your pregnancy is advancing smoothly,” he observed, although I felt might have meant the opposite- The pregnancy had brought me so much pain and mental stress.“How about your husband? He didn't come in here with you?”“My husband?” I blinked with skept

    The doctor handed the test results to Frank, his face lit with a smile. I already knew my fate and so I didn't need to wait for the doctor to announce the outcome of the DNA test. I was more bothered about dad's stern punishment, about how mum would feel if I eventually get cut off from their lives.“The test results confirm that you're the rightful father of the child!” The doctor finally said those words I never wanted to hear, although I already knew they were true.“Thank you so much doctor,” Frank muttered, exchanging handshakes with the doctor.“You're welcome,” the doctor said and left us to ourselves“You see it, I told you I was the child's father and you denied it. Now you see, I'm right. It's been confirmed,” Frank ranted boastfully.I rolled my eyeballs in disdain and glanced at him, wondering why he was all cheerful, despite knowing the fire consequences that awaited me as a result.“Frank, it seems you don't really understand what's going on with my family right now.

    I heard the sound of a familiar car drive into the compound and blare its horn loudly as it parked. Peeking through the curtained window in my room upstairs, my eyes met a familiar sight. Frank's Lamborghini was parked out there. He alighted and stood by it. My heart thumped as caught a glimpse of him. He was absolutely breathtaking! He was dressed smartly in casual good-looking clothes and wore dark shades that did well to shield a good proportion of his tough face. I've never seen him look so good before. It looked like he dressed specifically to impress me. He was here to pick me up and I was all set, waiting for his arrival since early morning. Frank stomped his feet impatiently as he stood by his car and pulled out his phone, probably to give me a call. I smiled and reached for my phone quickly even before it rang. “Hello baby!” He greeted me. “Hi! I'm coming to meet you downstairs. Just a moment,” I said, with a smile “Alright, I'd be waiting!” He replied and hung

    Frank took a few steps closer to me, placing his hand back on my shoulder. I decided to stay put this time. He gently tugged some strands of hair behind my ear and turned to look directly into my eyes.“Look baby, I know the circumstances that brought us together are quite questionable, I just want you to know that I genuinely care about you and our baby. I won't do anything to hurt you anymore. I promise, believe me,” he pleaded, his eyes graced with genuine sincerity.I felt dreamy as I stared on, my eyes well with tears. I've never felt so in love before. He's a monster, yet I won't deny that I'm falling for him already. He might not be the perfect human, but he's perfect for me.“I miss my parents so much. I'm sure they'll be expecting me back soon. I haven't even sorted out the hospital bills,” I whimpered.A teardrop rolled down one eye and then another in the second eye. He wiped them off caringly and wrapped me in his comforting arms.“Don't cry please! I'd pay the bills.” He

    “Wake up, baby!” A masculine voice jolted me out of my peaceful sleep.I flickered my eyes for a moment and shut them back, to think properly. Who is he and how did I get here?“Dad?” I stared at him searchingly, my eyebrows contorted.He giggled at me, like I was making some joke. “Don't tell me you've forgotten your Daddy so soon! Your baby's daddy as well,” he teased and chuckled with a mirthless laughter. “Oh!” The events of last night began replaying in my mind.“I didn't die? Why did I follow him? Did he sleep with me?” I muttered to myself.“You'd have preferred to die than follow me last night, you mean? Don't you care about my baby?” He interrupted my thoughts. “Well, we spent the night together, if you must know. But don't be afraid I didn't touch you.”I blinked in disgust. His presence disgusted me, as much as his words did.“It's my baby not yours, please. Get that stuck into your brains!" I clarified.“Don't worry, we'd get to find out who the rightful father is soon e

    “What exactly is wrong with you? Why would you think of killing yourself?” he frowned disheartenedly. I bowed my head in regret. His piercing gaze shot at me and I couldn't withstand it any more.“I… I'm sorry. I won't try it again.” I faltered, wondering why I felt indebted to the man who caused me so much pain.“Get her into the car!” He said, gesturing to the other man.“I won't!” I backed off, unwilling to go with them.“Let's go, please. I have a surprise for you!” He said excitedly.“A surprise for me? What surprise?“Yes, you'll find out about it later. Let's go first!”Hesitantly, I strode to the car where my tormentor stood and got in. My mind was too busy to think of anything else to do. He joined in the car, sitting next to me, while the other man drove.“You think you could run away from me, huh?” He asked, his husky voice reminding me of that night.“Look, I don't know where you're taking me to, but that doesn't give you the right to question me unnecessarily.” I blurred

  • Love Beyond The Contract   Suicidal Thoughts

    I stare blankly into the empty space, the nothingness shook within me, an unpleasant feeling of self-pity, when I remember my predicament; how my life had turned upside down all of a sudden, how life had dealt treacherously with me. I wished my world could be different. Different from the nagging voices in my head that reminded me daily of my struggle, pain and lingering sorrow, and of the imperfections that embraced my world.Mum and Dad are still in the hospital, not because they're still ailing, but because I can't afford to foot the both bills and now I haven't been able to attend the antenatal sessions the doctor recommended for me, just because I can't pay off my pending debts. What a shame!I had no other person to run to. The few relatives I know, I don't relate well with them, especially after Evelyn was sent out of this house and automatically out of our lives. Evelyn could have been of help to save my face from the embarrassment, but right now, we're not in talking terms. T

    After the questioning was over, I was allowed to leave, while a quite familiar man seated on the bench with me was whisked into a cell. Although I felt happy at his retribution, I couldn't help but wonder if he was really the man I had spent that splendid night with, after Lucas cheated on me. Maybe he was the one responsible for my pregnancy. Just maybe….Evening was setting in already. I boarded a taxi and got back to the hospital. Surprisingly, mum sat in the seat I was sitting in before I left the hospital. She's been discharged already. My face beamed with happiness.“Mum!” I half yelled and walked excitedly to where mum was seated.“Mum? What do you mean? Where did you go?” She snuggled me in a little and then let me sit beside her.“I'm sorry I left for the police station. I received an urgent call from them.” I said, unsure whether to go into details. “How do you feel now, Mum?” “Police station? Why the hell did you go there? Did you commit a crime?” She was left undone.“C'm
