“Constance?"Hearing my husband call out my name, I quickly jolted out of my thoughts. I blink and stare up at my husband who's looking at me.“I asked you a question," he said, staring straight into my eyes. Those black eyes are so captivating but I couldn't withhold his gaze. I wonder if I will ever be able to maintain long eye contact with my husband.Wait… did I actually hear him right? He really asked the question. Does he care about me?I don't think so, maybe he's randomly asking but why?I wonder if I should tell him how crazy those students in my class were for him. Well, I am sure it is not something new for him to hear… I believe he knows how crazy people are for him, especially girls.“My.. my.. first day in school was good," I replied with a stutter and bit my lower lips. When will I ever be able to speak eloquently with my husband? I guess that day won't come. With my husband's dominating aura, I'm sure I am not the only one that finds it hard to speak coherently with him
I was nervous during the drive and my heart wouldn't stop beating. My husband was the one driving, it looks like he prefers driving by himself rather than having a driver to drive him.I keep fidgeting with my fingers as my eyes fixed on the tinted window of the car rather than elsewhere so as not to accidentally meet his gaze. The window is tinted but someone inside the car can see clearly from the window unlike someone who's outside and can't see whatever that's inside the car through the window. “Are you okay?" My husband asked after some minutes through the drive. I've recently cognized that his voice is now milder and calmer.I can feel his eyes on me but I couldn't look at him. I wonder why I'm so nervous… will there ever come a time that I will boldly withstand my husband's presence? I guess not.“Constance?" His cool voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I'm fond of always getting lost in my thoughts. I think it is another habit of mine that is hard to stop.“I… I'm fine," I m
All eyes, including mine, drifted to where that scream could come from and it landed us on Sacha who's giggling and gushing over something on her phone. She was the one that screamed and got everyone startled and yet she didn't even care about the implication of what she did. “Everyone! Jace reacted to my comment! Oh! My gosh! I feel like flying away!" her shrieking voice blared in the whole room. She has such a very high pitch voice and she cared less, she was screaming on top of her voice not minding about how it's affecting those around her.Is she really behaving this way just because my husband reacted to her comment? This girl is unbelievable!“Jace reacted to my comment! He reacted to my comment!" She hollers dancing around as a psychopath.A girl among the members scoffed and said, “I am sure Jace is not the one that reacted to your comment, it must be one of his staff." The girl sounds jealous, the way she was looking at Sacha says it all and not only her, most of the girl
No, I don't think so… is not possible. I shook my head negatively knowing that I would be stupid to believe that my husband would pack my books and also make me sleep in a good sleeping position. “You should always set your books aside before going to sleep. I saw you in a bad position when I walked in this morning, it is not good to sleep that way," he said before walking into the changing room.With what he said, it could only mean one thing… he's the one that packed my books and also made me sleep in a good sleeping position.My eyes widened in shock at the realization of that. I was really stunned, I just couldn't believe it. My husband has been acting strange or has he really started caring about me? I really hope so. I walked inside the bathroom. I took my bath and entered the changing room, my husband was no longer there and I'm glad he's not… even though the changing room is vast, I still can't imagine sharing it with him. He was not in the room either so that means that he

My heart wouldn't stop beating as my husband held me so close to himself, he hid my head in his hard chest and the way he held my waist and buried my body in his arms seemed as if I weighed nothing. Well, I actually weighed nothing, I'm so svelte and flexible. I want to add weight but no matter how much I eat, I just couldn't so I gave up.Sleeping so close to my husband, I tried my best to keep my thoughts together but I couldn't. I haven't consciously been in close proximity with him before so I find it so hard to stop my beating heart which is beating faster than usual. My head rested on his chest which wasn't covered by his night robe and the warmth from his chest makes my whole body feel hot. I can feel my ear and neck blushing through that strong but yet soft, smooth chest. I'm hundred percent certain that my whole face had turned pink at this moment.Even though I was tensed sleeping so close to him my mind was still able to relish this compactness which was washing my senses
My eyes widened in more shock and instead of me picking my towel and cover my naked self. I stood there without moving any part of my body, my big round brown eyes staring at my husband whose eyes were also on me. I can see that he's also shocked and he couldn't take his eyes away or move his body just like me. He stood as a robot who is controlled to stand at a particular position without batting an eye. His eyes are clear and wide as full screen.I didn't know for how long we both stared at ourselves before I finally snapped out of my trance. It was at this moment that I finally realized that I'm still naked and haven't covered my body yet.I quickly grab my towel from the floor and hastily wrap it around my body. My body won't stop shaking and my heart won't stop beating.I felt like I'm dreaming. Did my husband see my nakedness just now? My face… no, not just my face, my whole body reddened at that point.I became more flushed when I looked up and still found my husband standing
The driver stopped the car in front of an exquisite building. Jocelyn was so excited when we stepped down from the car. She happily drags me inside the building.“Surprise!" She hollers with excitement clear in her voice.“Joce!" a pretty fair lady beams and walks up to us.“Hi Joce!" other ladies were also waving at her and she also waved back, they all looked busy. It seems like Jocelyn always comes here since they all know her. Oh! this is her cousin's beauty salon so they will definitely know her… I'm sure she comes here often.It looks like she's more reacquainted with the pretty fair lady because she's the only one that walked up to her and hugged her with a very radiant smile on her face, Jocelyn warmly accepted the hug.“You know why we are here Nathalie, I want you to turn me into a goddess tonight because I wanna steal the party!" Jocelyn chirped, a promising grin clearly registered on her lips. In the few days I've known Jocelyn, I discovered that she's an effervescent gi
Author's point of view:Three years later..“Mommy! Mommy!" two beautiful kids screamed as they ran towards Constance. She opened her arms to welcome the kids.“How are my sweet babies?" Constance asked with a bright smile as she pulled their cheeks making the two-year-old twins giggle. “Mommy, daddy bought me a big car," the boy among the twins excitedly said.“And he bought me a new doll!" The girl squeaked happily.“Oh! I'm so jealous of you guys, daddy bought gifts for you guys. Where's my own gift?" Constance pouted her cheeks. She looked up to see her husband who joined them in the sitting room. The poor man looks worn out, the kids must have stressed him. She only left him with the kids for four hours and he looks stressed already. They hired a nanny but she's on sick leave and will return very soon. Since Jace didn't go to work today, Constance asked him to take care of the kids while she went to spend some time with her friend Jocelyn who will get married in two weeks time.
Author's point of view:Darren opened the door as doctor Jorge walked in. Jorge looks tense and it wasn't left unknown to Darren. Darren asked him if he's okay and he said yes.“Have you made up your mind Darren?" Jorge asked, walking ahead of Darren towards the room where Constance is, still unconscious. Darren followed him behind but didn't speak. He doesn't know why he feels that something is off. He's just having the hunch that something bad might happen.“Jorge, I hope no one follows you when coming here?" Darren asked. “Of course not, I was careful just like other days," Jorge replied. His voice was a little bit shaky, making Darren suspect something but he waved it away. He knows that nothing will go wrong. Jorge is always careful and also, Jorge can't betray him.“Darren, I asked you if you have made up your mind to take this girl to the hospital. She's slowly dying, if no good medical attention is given to her… she will die for good."Jorge was staring directly at Darren who
Constance's point of view:I shakily turn to face the angry Darren. He's laughing but no one needs to tell me that it's a dangerous laugh. I thought I hit him hard, he should have fainted or died. I didn't know that he would rise on his feet so quickly, though blood is still oozing out from his forehead.“I told you that you can't escape from me. You are mine and only mine!"“I will never be yours Darren, never!" screamed and ran away in another direction. Maybe I will find another exist. I haven't run far before Darren caught up on me. He held my arm tightly and pushed me to himself. I tried to free myself from his grip but he wouldn't let me. The next thing I felt was a sharp pain on my cheeks. He slapped me. This time, I felt my lips were broken.“I told you that I will be good to you if you do not make me angry but you didn't listen to me. Now, I will teach you a lesson. I don't want to hurt you but you have pushed me too far."I gulped down in fear. What is he trying to do to me
Constance's point of view:I slowly open my eyes, my head hurts a lot. I supported my head with my palms as I tried to sit up. Why does my head hurt so much? Where am I? What happened to me? I'm confused.“You are finally awake, sweetheart."What! That's Darren's voice. How is that possible? I must be dreaming. Darren is in prison. There's no way he could be talking to me right now because I'm not in the prison with him.I fearfully look to my left where his voice came from, praying so hard that I will not see Darren, that whatever I heard will just come from my head and not be a reality. I flinched greatly when my eyes fell on Darren who had a smug smile on his lips which I noticed to be broken. His face also has some fresh scars on it. He looks like someone who had been torturing. Of course, he should. He's in prison and some prison mates are psychos. If you should survive in a prison, you should be strong to defend yourself and it looks like Darren is not. But wait… why am I with
Three months later…Constance point of view“Happy birthday baby," my husband whispers into my ear. I smile shyly as I stare at his reflection through the mirror. He kissed my ear lobe and gently trail the kiss down my neck. I shiver a bit in ecstacy. “You look so beautiful," he cooed. “I love you so much."I smile, “I love you too. Thank you for coming back to me."“I promised you that I will never leave you and I kept my promise. I will always be by your side, baby, always." He kissed my neck once again.I smiled and stood up as I faced him. I stare into his obsidian black eyes. They are so beautiful and enchanting. I never thought that I could see these beautiful eyes again. Even though I had faith that he would come back to me, I still couldn't help the fear in my heart.I wrapped my arms around his neck. My eyes are teary, I'm doing all I could not to break down in tears. I can also see the same emotion in my husband's beautiful eyes.For the past three months, I feel like not l
Author's point of view:Jace clenched his fist when Jocelyn told him everything that had been going on in Constance's life but the only thing that made Jace smile was when Jocelyn said that Constance is pregnant.“Constance is pregnant?" His voice was full of excitement, though some anger was still lurking there.“Yes," Jocelyn replied with a teary smile. She was happy that Jace was alive. Constance was the only one that did not believe that Jace was dead and she was waiting for him to return back to her and her wish had been fulfilled. Jace was actually alive and her wish had been fulfilled.It was three days ago that Jace came to Jocelyn's house. It was a cold night. The knock came on the door and Jocelyn was the one to get the door. At first, she couldn't recognize that it was Jace that was standing on the doorway because he was covered in a black hoodie. She screamed in fear when Jace removed his hoodie cap to reveal his handsome face. Jace was fast enough to cover her mouth with
Constance point of view:“What the hell! Darren, what are you doing!" I yelled. He has a mischievous smirk on his lips. I quickly reach for my towel but before I could cover up, Darren is already close to me and pins me on the wall making the towel fall off. I gasped and gulped down. His eyes are still running lustfully on my body before they settle on my breast.No, no, I won't let him touch me. I tried pushing him away but he wouldn't oblige. He looked up to stare at my face. I can see the lust and desire in his eyes. Oh! No, this is not good. Darren is looking like a predator trying to hunt his prey. What if I can't stop him this time? I was a fool, Why didn't I lock the bathroom? I was so weak when I entered the bathroom and needed the warm water to run through my body and thereby forgetting to lock the door.I squeaked when I felt his hand smosh my breast. “Darren! What are you doing!" I tried to push him away once again but he still wouldn't budge. Fear gripped me at the moment.
Constance point of view:Kevin has already taken all the family's properties including my husband's. He made me tell the public that my husband left the property in my hand but I let him, Kevin, take care of my husband's business until I'm ready to take over. He, his mother and his wife are now enjoying my husband's fortune but I will make them pay one day.Darren and Kevin must think that they have won but they won't know what will hit them very soon. I have already put my plan in action. I'm pretending to love Darren and the fool is believing me. He's so obsessed with me that he didn't even know that I'm pretending to love him. He didn't think that it's suspicious for a girl that never loves him to start loving him after losing her husband whom she loves so much in his hands. He agreed about not consummating the marriage until I'm ready. I'm happy he did, this will buy me some time.I'm seated in the coffee shop with Jocelyn who is staring suspiciously at me. Of course, she saw the
Constance point of view:Here I am, signing the contract at the very end. Darren threatened me to the core that I couldn't do anything. He showed me a video where some men pointed a gun at Jocelyn and grandfather and I didn't know when I signed the contract without reading it, I already know what's in there. Kevin stood there with a smirk. He collected the papers, smiling satisfyingly. I have willed all my husband's properties to him. In my husband's will, it stated that I owe all his properties. So I have the right to sign off his properties to anyone.I have no choice. I can't scream it to the world. If I do, I know that Kevin and Darren will end up in prison but before the police could save Jocelyn and grandfather, their men will kill them. Though Darren and Kevin will be punished for their sins, I will lose two important people in my life. I have my plans, I will give them everything they want now but I have my plans. I will take back everything from them and then make them pay.
