Monica's POVI woke up due to the sound of someone knocking on my door. I groaned angrily because the person interrupted my sweet sleep but the persln didn't stop knocking.'Monica, are you awake?' I heard Coralline's voice.I stood up and opened the door.'Good morning' I greeted her.'Morning. Did I wake you up?' She asked.I nodded.'Sorry. I just wanted to let you know that I'm leaving for work now. I left your food covered on the counter. If you don't want to eat now, you can microwave the food later.' She said.'You're going to work this early?' I asked her.'What do you mean early? I'm even late. Goodbye, I'll see you in the evening.' She said and left.I went back into my room and picked up my phone. I pressed the on button and my eyes bulged out when I saw the time. It was already 9:35 am. Fuck. I was hoping to see Damon's face before he leaves for work.I guess I'll see him this evening then. I went to the bathroom to freshen up and wash away the remaining sleep from my eyes
I was too shock that I could barely move or speak. It was no other person than Vivian who was tied up on the floor. Her mouth was taped so she couldn't talk. Her teary eyes widened when she saw me.'What is going on? What is she doing here?' I asked dad.'She's the surprise.' Dad said.'You think I don't know that? Why is she here?' I asked again.'She ruined your brother's life. She's the reason your brother is dead. She pulled the trigger on your brother so now I want you to avenge your brother's death.' He said placing a loaded gun on my hand.My eyes widened in shock.'What? I can't do that. I can't take a life that isn't mine' I said.'She's the reason your brother is now six feet under. I'm sure he would want you to avenge his death.' He said.'But she was already paying for her sins in prison. She was sentenced to life imprisonment, remember? Why would you kidnap her from prison when she was already paying for her crimes there?' I asked trying to reason with him.'Imprisonment
Sophie's POVEARLIER THAT DAYI stared at Monica suspiciously as she served the customers in a hurry. She has been acting really weird ever since that customer slipped a note into her pocket the day before yesterday.I didn't ask her about it because I thought the man was wooing her but I guess I was wrong because Coralline called me yesterday saying she reached home really late which only means that she didn't go home straight yesterday.Today, I planned to ask her about the note but knowing Monica, she wouldn't tell me anything. So I planned out a different approach, I'm going to follow her to wherever she's going to and see what she's up to.When it was time for her to clock out, I picked up my purse and car keys and told the waitress taking the evening shift to lock up when it's time.I sneaked into my car and waited for sometime so she would move her car and she did. I gave her some distance before I started my car so she wouldn't notice I was following her.Like I had suspected
Monica's POV'She has seen us already. What are we going to do? What if she tells Coralline or Damon? We will be ruined. How could this happen now of all times?' I asked while panicking.'Keep quiet and let me think. This is all your fault, why didn't you watch your back?' He asked angrily.'How was I supposed to know that she would follow me and now you're putting the blame on me? She saw me murdering Vivian and all you worry about is how this is my fault? If she tells on me I'll be sentenced to prison.' I yelled.'Shut up. Just fucking shut your mouth. You let your guard down and she was able to follow you here and you still have the guts to yell at me? Just hope that she's caught if not we won't only land in prison when Damon and Coralline finds out about our plots.' He said.That made me keep quiet. Just then, Dominic came in panting.'Where's she?' Dad asked.'I'm sorry boss but she managed to esca....' He wasn't able to finish his sentence when dad suddenly shot him on his foreh
Coralline's POVWhen the meeting had ended, I went back to my office. I had left my phone to charge there. I unplugged my phone and saw two missed calls from Sophie. I also saw a voicemail so l decided to play it.I heard'Coralline, you have to be careful. Jake Humphrey is....' And then there was a pause.I could still hear her rhythmic breathing so I continued listening. Suddenly I heard her screaming for help and the voicemail ended.What just happened???I was puzzled. I called her back but she didn't pick up. I called her countless times but it was still the same thing. I decided to dail the line at her cafe thinking maybe she was there working.The call was answered but she wasn't the one who picked. It was one of her staffs and the lady told me that Sophie had left a while ago.That's weird, Sophie never leaves her cafe before closing hours.I decided to go to her house to check if she's there. I rang the door bell but no one answered.Maybe she's sleeping.Sophie always keeps
Sophie's POVI moved back in fear as he continued walking towards me. I stopped moving when I felt my back touching the wall. He stopped walking and smirked when he noticed I was trapped between the wall and his body.'What do you want? Why did you kidnap me?' I asked fearfully.'Are you supposed to be asking me that question? You see Sophie, you poked your nose in where it wasn't wanted. You saw something you shouldn't have and now you are going to pay for it.' He whispered close to my ear and I whimpered silently.No, I can't show him that I'm scared. I have to do something. I mustered up courage and said;'You better release me because if Coralline finds out about this, you're going to pay dearly.' I threatened.He stared at me amusingly and then burst out laughing. He used his hands to raise my chin so I could look into his eyes and said;'How will they find out when you're trapped here?? Just face it Sophie, there's no way you would ever be able to escape from here. No one will e
Warning🔞🔞: If you can't stand rape scenes, kindly skip.Sophie's POVHe continued pushing his manhood inside me until it was all in. I cried harder when I felt my hymen broke.'You didn't tell me you're a virgin. If you did, I would have done it slower' He taunted.I didn't reply him. I just kept crying. Then he started moving slowly.'Get off me bastard. You disgust me.' I said and struggled with him but he didn't listen.'Ugh.. I disgust you?? But you don't mind having a disgusting man's manhood moving inside you.' He said and smiled.'Oh my God. You're so tight. I just can't get used to this. I've missed this. Ugh.. fuck' Ge grunted as he kept thrusting into me.Slowly, his thrust became hard and fast that I couldn't hold down the scream that fell off my throat.'That's it. Scream louder so every one can know I'm fucking you bitch.' He said.'You pay for this bastard. I swear you'll pay for everything you've done.' I swore.'I'll be hear waiting to see what you're gonna do. Huh b
Coralline's POVI drove back home looking dejected. I met Damon in the living room pacing around. It seemed like he was waiting for someone. When his eyes met mine, he sighed in relief and rushed towards me.'Where have you been? Why didn't you answer my phone calls? Do you know how worried I was??' He asked in one breath.I looked at his face and couldn't stop the tears that shed from my eyes.'What's wrong? What happened? Why are you crying? Did I do something wrong?' He asked staring at me cautiously.I hugged him tightly and said'No it isn't you. You didn't do anything wrong.''What happened then?' He asked again.'It's Sophie.' I said.'What about Sophie? Did you guys fight??' He asked concerned.'No. She's missing.' I said.'What do you mean missing?' He asked confused.I explained everything that happened to him and even showed him the voicemail.He stared at me in shock after he had listened to the voicemail.'What's wrong?' Do you know something?' I asked him.'No. I'll fin
Coralline's POVI stared in shock as I saw Sophie's pale face. Jake was still holding her while the police officers pointed their guns at him.'Sophie!!' I called and tried to run to her but Damon held me back.'Stay here Cora and let the police men do their work.' He told me and I fought to remain calm.One of the police officers said'Give it up Jake. You have no place to hide now.Just leave the girl alone and....''No way."?' He shouted cutting him off.'If any of you tries anything stupid, I'll tear her throat off.' He said pointing a broken bottle on her neck.I gasped and tears fell freely from my face.'Please Jake, let her go and I'll give you everything that you want. I'll give up all my wealth. Please just let her go' I pleaded.'It's already too late for that Coralline. You shod have agreed to my terms when I was asking nicely but instead, you tried to out smart me. Now, you're going to pay for your mistakes with the life of your best friend.' He said and lifted the his ar
Monica's POVI stared at her in suspicion while she looked serious. I checked to see if there's any ounce of lie in what she just told me but there wasn't.She wasn't even smiling.'Why are you lying?' I asked hoping she was just playing with me.'Why eould I be lying about something as serious as that?' She asked back.'But... but.... dad said that she slipped and fell down the stairs.' I said.'Your father lied to you. He murdered your mother because she found out that he planned Coralline and Damon's parents death. She wanted to report him but he got to her first.' She explained.I stared at her refusing to believe her claims.'Why should I believe you? What if you're just trying to pull I and my father apart?' I asked her.'I didn't expect you to believe me. You can just ask you father for the truth, he's right here.' She said nodding towards someone behind me.I looked over and saw dad staring at me.'Dad, is she telling the truth?' I asked hoping he would deny it but he didn't a
Sophie's POVI watched as he paced around angrily.'Fuck fuck. This isn't how I planned it. Why hasn't he brought the boy to me?? Or did the plan fail? No I shouldn't think about the plan failing. I need to check.' He said.He brought out his phone and dailed a number. He waited for the person at the other end to pick up the call but it went straight to voicemail.He tried countless times but it was still the same result. After seeing that his attempts were futile, he grabbed his hair in frustration and smashed the vase close to him into different pieces. I gasped in shock and pain when one of the shards pierced my knee.'What the hell is wrong with you?' I asked angrily.His angry eyes shifted to mine.'What did you just say to me?' He asked taking slow predatory steps towards me.I stood my ground and refused to be intimidated by him.'I said what the hell is wrong..' I wasn't able to finish my sentence when he suddenly grabbed me by my neck.'I heard you loud and clear. You don't h
Damon's POVI followed the police as they entered the house. There was no sign of Jake or Monica. We searched everywhere but we couldn't find Sophie nor the antidote.It seemed like they knew we were coming and escaped because their belongings are still here. I punched the wall angrily and grabbed my hair in frustration.We are back to square one now and this time, it is worse because we've angered Jake. I better go back to the hospital now.Only God knows what would happen to them if I'm not around.I left the house, entered my car and zoomed off ignoring Silas who was calling after me.I need to get to them fast.Jake's POVWe stopped at my second hideout and I rushed out angrily. I can't believe she tried to outsmart me. That crazy bitch.'Dad, what do we do now?' Monica asked but l ignored her.Coralline didn't like it when I was playing nice. She wants it the hard way and that's what I'll give her. She would regret not agreeing to my request.I smiled evily when I got an idea. I
Monica's POVI stared at him as he smiled happily.'So how did it go? What did she say?' I asked him.'What do you think?? She agreed as expected.' He said.'I can't believe she would be that gullible.' I said.'She's his mother. She would do anything for her son. Plus she isn't as smart as Damon or her father.' He said.'Are you sure that she would agree to your conditions. What if she tries to outsmart you like Damon did the last time?' I asked worriedly.'She won't because she would be the one at the losing end and she knows that. So she won't try anything stupid.' He said.'Okay. If you say so. Have you seen a lady that looks like her? Her replacement?' I asked.'Yes I have. If Coralline tries to pull a fast one on me, she would still lose. Her replacement would do all the work for me. Coralline has Damon wrapped up around her finger, so I'm sure that her replacement would be able to do the same.' He said.'Okay. So now, we'll have to wait till tomo...' I wasn't able to finish my
Coralline's POVI stared at my phone in hesitation. Why did he call me instead? I thought he would have called dad or Damon.'You have to pick the call Cora. But remember to keep the call going, just do anything you can to waste his time so that we can be able to trace his number.' Dad said.I nodded and took a deep breath before picking the call. I put the call on loud speaker so they would be able to hear what I was saying.'Hello' I said.'Hello Coralline.' He said.'Who's this?' I asked acting like I didn't know he was the one.'Have you forgotten about me that fast? If I can remember clearly, we met three years ago. Wait, maybe you can't remember because to you, I'm already a dead man.' He said chuckling.'Jake Humphrey.' I said.'Bravo. You got my name in just one guess. You're getting smarter than you were years ago.' He said.'What do you want Jake?' I asked.'Funny that you're still asking that. Who doesn't know what I want?' He said.I sneered inwardly. What a greedy pig.'W
NEXT DAYDamon's POVI looked over to see Coralline resting her head on Victor's bed. It seemed like she was asleep. I sighed and walked towards her.I carried her and placed her on the couch I was sitting on. I watched her face for a while. It seems like she had been crying because she had dark circles around her eyes.The door was suddenly pushed open and Silas walked in. His eyes wandered around the room and when they landed on Victor's pale figure, he rushed towards him.He crouched near his bed and placed his hands on him. I could hear him sobbing. I walked towards him and placed my hands on his back as a way of comforting him.'Damon, what happened to him. Why is he suddenly lying on thd hospital bed?' He asked me.I sighed and said'Monica did this. She poisoned Victor.' I said.His teary eyes suddenly changed into a frown.'So she was really working with her father? That means she knows where he is.' He said.'Yes. It's pretty obvious now.' I said.'Where is she? Where is that
Monica's POVIt didn't take time before I reached dad's hideout. I jumped out of the car immediately and went into the house.I spotted dad at the living room and went to hug him happily. I had really missed him.'You're finally here.' He said.'Yes dad. So how did I do?' I asked.'You did great. I'm really proud of you.' He said giving me a thumbs up.I smiled happily. If I knew it would lead to this, I would have done it earlier.'So dad, what's your next move? I'm sure they already know that you're alive and now that I have shown myself, no where is safe for me.' I said.'I have already planned on what to do already. Damon is going to come crawling to me when he finds out.' He said smiling.'Finds out what?' I asked confused.'I have the antidote to the poison you fed Victor with.' He said smiling mischievously.'So?? He can easily buy another antidote. He's wealthy remember' I said.'You see Monica, the poison I gave you is very rare and it will be hard for him to find an antidote
She stared at me in shock after I was done with my explanation. I waited for her to say something or even be angry with me but she did nothing.She just stared at me and it was already getting uncomfortable for me because I was expecting a reaction from her.'Baby, say something.' I said after sometime but she didn't reply.'Anything.' I said again and she scoffed.'What do you expect me to say? Why didn't you tell me these before? If you had, we would have been able to avoid what happened this morning. And knowing Monica, she would be long gone. We don't even have a lead. The only lead we had poisoned our son and escaped. This is all you fault.' She said angrily.'Baby, now isn't the right time to start casting blames. We need to...''Need to what??' She asked cutting me off angrily.'What else do you want me to do instead of casting blames? I'm you wife for God's sake and you were keeping secrets from me. You even told my father things that was related to me instead of coming to me
