"Edmund, give me my shoes back!” Alena said sternly while putting her hands on her hips. Edmund looked at her casually as he leaned against the wall.
"Edmund, come on! It's getting late now,” Alena said again, but this time trying to hide her smile.
"When will you come again?" Edmund asked for the fifth time, raising an eyebrow.
"I don't know,” she answered.
Her husband shrugged and stood there.
"Okay fine. I will come on Thursday. In three days.” She sighed and gave up. She wanted to surprise him that day but he was way too stubborn.
"See? It wasn't difficult to cooperate, was
it?" He smirked as he walked towards her and gave her shoes back.
"You're so annoying!” she said, forcing not to show her smile, but it didn’t work since his chuckle was just so perfect.
Not a good w
"She was pregnant! You killed your child!” Uno freaked out as Edmund stared at him. "She deserves to be happy!" His face was so empty that not even a single emotion could be seen on it. "She wants to believe you're changing! But she’s just hurting herself!”At the spur of a moment, Edmund tilted his head. "Did you come all the way here just to tell me this?" he asked in a sea-deep voice. "Get out!” he yelled.Uno sighed and walked out of the room before someone realized he was in there. They didn't want him in. Only the family and people he chose for himself were allowed inside.Alena deserved better. This guy was only going to hurt her, she knew it. He was hoping that what he told him would snap him out of his daydreams.
Alena hate fighting with her friends but she was sure everything's going to be well. Uno is Penelope's brother, so it's not like they could just be mad forever. But it wasn't his place to tell Edmund about it. Her husband is trying his best, and she won't let Uni hurt him even more.Edmund wants to be better and if Uno can't see that, there's nothing she can do but get Edmund rid of him.After leaving Uno's office, Alena went back to Edmund, to see if he was still awake. She walked in his room to see him sitting in the couch, his face in his hands.She closed the door and he looked up so quickly that she thought he was going to break his neck. He looked at her for a moment, and then sighed in relief."I thought you. . .” He began talking but immediately stopped.Alena looked at him, smiling. "What?" she asked so he can continue, but he just shook his head, and mentioned her to come over him. She approached him and
"Alena,” Avrielle called, walking in Alena's room. "There's someone downstairs for you," she said smiling."Okay. I will be there in a second," Alena replied, combing her hair and followed her sister. She walked down the stairs and went to the living room. She saw Uno there."Uno.”Uno turned around and smiled awkwardly. Alena walked up to him and had him a hug. "I'm glad you're here." She pulled away."Yeah, me either. Listen, Alena. I'm truly sorry. I was wrong." He sighed. "You're right. It wasn't my place to tell him about it,” he said sincerely."It's okay.” She smiled to him. "I’m sorry too for what I said the other day," she apologized.He shook his head. "You were right. . .I acted like a coward.” He smiled lightly. "But I promise I won't do anything like that again.”"Thank you,” she said."How is
6 MONTHS LATERALENA'S POV"She'so excited and nervous. She's like a little girl.” Avrielle laughed walking in my room.I laughed."That's so weird for us.” I shook my head as she sat down and started curling her hair while I was straightening mine.My parents are getting married today. Well, they were legally married but they never did it with a preacher. So, Willa wanted to do it so here we are. But they were only getting married in the garden because she also wanted to do it in the house. She didn't want something to formal."And some guests are already here.” She sighed. "I’m so glad Catherine is finally sleeping," she continued curling her hair.Catherine is her daughter. She gave birth months ago."Poor Mama. Only a couple of month and already complaining.” I pouted teasing he
"Seriously, move it. You can do better than that!" Edmund laughed as I just glared at him. I started walking even slower and he stopped raising an eyebrow at me."Don't give that look. It's way too early to be running." I narrowed my eyes at him."I told you I was picking you up at seven and I find you sleeping,” he said. "Why are you so grumpy?" He looked at me in a teasing way."Since you threw water on my face while I was dreaming about Theo James,” I said glaring at him as he narrowed his eyes at me. "Well, next time, you won't have another man in your dreams,” he said, this time glaring at me. I chuckled shaking my head. "Now move it!” He took my hand and started running again."Not so fast, Love,” I whined. "My legs are still asleep."He sighed before looking at me. I felt his hands on my waist and he threw me over h
I walked in the living room. Uno looked up at me, and sighed. "I came to apologise again for the other.” He ran a hand through his hair. "I just think you are making a big mistake by getting back to him," he said. "Alena, you do realize that you deserve better, right?"I fought the urge to roll my eyes. "I thought you came to apologise." I sighed. "Listen, I already know what you think, and like I said, you don't need to worry,” I said honestly."Well I think there's something to worry about.” He took a step closer to me but I took one back."How can I forget and make things better with him if you keep reminding me of the past?” I glared at him."Well, you shouldn't forget because it could happen again." He took a step closer, and I took one back again. "I'm not saying this because I hate him. I just want the best for you"."And he will give
I walked in the building. People greeted me as I walked straight to the elevator. Nothing has changed since the last time. I walked in the elevator and sighed before pressing the button. When it stopped, I walked out and made my way to his office.“Someone said cheerfully,” I chuckled and turned around. Edmund's assistantant pulled me into a quick hug and I smiled."It's been a while." I smiled and he nodded. "How is J?" I asked and he blushed lightly. "You're blushing. Looks like everything is good.” I smirked."Stop it, Mrs Cardinal." He smiled raising an eyebrow. "Are you here to see the Boss?" he asked.I rolled my eyes. "No. I'm here for grocery Shopping.” I smirked and he rolled his eyes."Boss is in his office. Yes, he is alone. And yes, he is not busy,” he said.I smiled and thanked him before walking to the office. I knocked and wallked in. He looked at me as I closed the door
"I can't believe Rio is getting married today,” Penelope yelled dramatically. "And you are married and pregnant!” she said pointing a finger at me. "And I broke up with Carl yesterday,” she said sitting down. "Why did I do that?" she asked me dramatically."Don't be such a drama queen," Rio smiled as Andi was doing his makeup."Shut the fuck up,” Penelope snapped again. "You're getting married. So shut up,” she pouted. "Why did I break up with Carl?""Oh my God, stop!' I laughed. "It's a happy day,” I smiled, and she glared at me. "By the way, will Uno be here?" I asked and she nodded."Yes. He said he would come. But you never know with him." Penelope sighed.I haven't seen Uno in a year. After he kissed me, we talked once on the phone and then it looked like he was avoiding me. For a whole year. He wasn't even there at my
Edmund was in the WalMart for a few minutes, and I still can't find the name brand Pads for Irina.He gave up looking when he walked out. He had a pit in his stomach and felt very nervous at that point, why? He had no idea.He began driving home when he became restless an unsettling feeling riled up inside him, making him drive home faster than ever.Something was wrong with Irina. He thought to himself as he ran into the house."Irina?" Edmund screamed but no voice came answering back.He bolted to the bathroom she was in last, and found a note on the floor.After reading it her heart swelled then after realization hit him. It bursted and broke into a trillions of pieces.Irina was being abused by her own family. She was trying to kill herself because she thought her pain would be end.
"You mind if I sit here?" Iñigo came and sat beside Ana."Sure, you can sit there.""Whats your name beautiful?" He asked, making Ana blush a little. She haven't done that in a while."Its Ana. I'm here for my friend, she invited me. Whats yours?" Ana watched as he licked his lips before speaking."Iñigo." "He said smiling a little showing his dimples that An just now noticing; which are making him even more sexy.He grabbed her hand. "Lets go dance."Ana followed him.She started moving her hips to the beat of the song playing. He placed one hand on her hip. "Get right, Ana! Get right!" She heard her friend Jessy yell from where ever she was."You wanna come to my place, Ana?" Iñigo whispered in her ear sending chills down my back."Yeah, sure." She nodded."Use protection!" Jessy ass yelled as they both Ana and Iñigo made their way out the club.They walked up to this shiny black range rover. Iñigo opened the door letting Ana in, then jogged over to his side. "Do you mind?" He aske
The sound of the alarm clock woke Atasha out of her sleep, shielding her eyes from the light that was coming through the window she made her way to the bathroom where she splashed some water on her face.She was shocked when she took in her appearance in the mirror,she was still in her dress but more shocked when she realised she was actually in her room, and not remembering getting here on her own, She face palmed herself as she realized maybe Iverson or his driver had brought her in, as she vividly remembered falling asleep due to the slow music the driver had been playing.After few minutes of feeling embarrassed, she decided to take her bath and screamed out loud when she realized that she was late for work.After rushing, and cursing, and shouting, and dropping, and throwing things Atasha was finally ready and out of the house. She waved for the taxi approaching and quickly buttoned up her jack cause of the cold.When the taxi stopped in front of her, she hurriedly got into it, a
When the car stopped indicating that they had arrived Atasha exhaled for the tenth time since she had been in the car with Iverson who never bothered to have a conversion with her even when he got off the phone five minutes ago.Atasha's door was pulled open by the man who apparently was the driver. She muttered a little thank you to him and stepped out of the car, that was when she realized that the sun had gone down but it wasn't completely dark yet. They had stopped in front of a restaurant it had an Italian name so Atasha didn't bother reading it.Iverson came and took Atasha's arms in his, which made Atasha hold her breathe, not because he took her unaware whatsoever but because she couldn't believe the mighty Iverson Cardinal knight whom she had only heard about in the news, or seen his pictures on magazines was asking her to marry him, actually he never asked but the thought of this man being her husband was worth holding her breath for."Shall we? Annd please smile," Iverson s
Atasha was surprised, confused and startled at the same time. She was trying to make sense out of the words that where coming out of his mouth.Marriage? Atasha had no plans of getting married not now maybe next year and when she does, she was planing on getting married to the love of her life, to a man that loved her and cherished her, she wants to have a happy home, a home full of love and happiness like her late parents.She had always admired how her parents loved each other to the extent that they died together, that was the kind of marriage she wanted to be in, a contract marriage had never been on Astaha's plans hell no if he hadn't mentioned it she wouldn't have imagined it ever till the day she died.She never wanted to be in a contract marriage besides she had read books about them and the marriage was never a pleasant one to be in, no love nothing, the thought of it was horrible more especially, she didn't even know the man.Why her? Was the next question that came to her m
The noise of pages turning was the only sound heard in that room until there was a sigh. It was a sigh of tiredness that had left his lips, unable to take in the situation."So there is no other way to get the property?" Iverson asked, looking at the lawyer with a cold expression. The lawyer smiled nervously glancing at the person sitting beside the cold man."No," He replied meekly not wanting to upset him because he was very well capable of destroying him."Read that clause again." He ordered leaning back on his chair and staring at him intensely. The lawyer fumbled through the pages before getting to that clause and reading it out loudly."Transfer my entire property to my youngest son, Iverson Cardinal which includes 4 mansions, 3 farmhouses, 50% share from my company, and the neighbouring land, but only after it is made sure that he has a son or daughter of his own. If at all he remains single when he turns tweny-seven, all of my property must be transferred to a trust." He compl
After Edmund was down beating the guy to pulp I pulled him off to the library."Where are we going?" He asked as I tug on his arm.I don't answer but keep trudging along pain searing through every vein."God, Irina. What happened? Why the hell are you wearing shorts?" Edmund asked and I stop in my tracks, tears already brimming my eyes."Fuck! I'm sorry, I didn't mean it to-" he noticed I'm crying, so he pulled me into a hug. I hugged him back knowing my plan is working."I-I'm sc-scared. I-I don't wa-want t-to live l-like this any-anymore!" I yelled to him gripping onto his shirt for balance."It's okoy. You can live with me in our house, it'll be alright. Nothing will happen to you, I'll make sure of it," he assured, and that makes me rethink my plan.He doesn't matter, no-one does, do it a voice says, and I listen to it. "Take me to your house please?" I said, wiping my tears, and letting go of his shirt."I will." He smiled, and leads me to his car.**A few weeks passed and I gre
This was ultimately the worst beating I've ever had, it was the best one I've ever had.My dad jumped on my stomach, he's about 250 pounds, what do you think happened to me? You guessed it, I heard and felt cracking in three different places, I'm sure he broke my ribs.Prima had a small knife in her hands as she turned me over and sliced into my back, it was painful even though the cuts were shallow.She decided to slash at my arms and legs also drawing blood from almost every inch of my body.After kicking and punching me several times they went up into my room and took out all my pants replacing them with shorts and replacing all my sweaters with t-shirts.It was going to be horrible at school tomorrow, but I deserve it, anything they their at me is because I deserve it, and they let me know that. It's been carved into my brain the first time they hit me.People were going to stare and ask if I'm okay, I don't need their pity and I'll tell them that.I'm so beaten and worn out that
"How would you even put this on?" I asked Edmund, holding up two pieces of fabric that would barely cover any part of my body.He laughed, and puts the bikini back on the shelf, walking over to another he pulls out another one that looks."How about this one?" he asked as i look at it I become more infatuated with it.It's yellow and simple, it almost looks like a pair underwear and a bra."Let me try it on," I said, walking over to the dressing rooms."Can I help?" Edmund asked seductively and I blush deeply."N-no. . ." I stutter out as I walk into one of the rooms.Okay, I would've loved for him to help me, I think I'm falling for his charms! I can't though, he's the campus bad boy, my father would be more than furious and try to kill him, though I wouldn't be surprised. I just can't fall for him. It's so annoying how safe I feel in his arms or how our hands mold perfectly together, I can't take it, I just know I'll be falling for him soon. Why must I love so easily.I don't even k
