Performing on the stage, Jace has only wished for one thing; to see his wife from the crowd, watching and cheering to him. His eyes were wandering through the crowds without anyone noticing his intentions until eventually his eyes saw his little wife. An unexpected smile escaped his lips, just by seeing his little wife cheering for him, he got more energy and vibe to perform. Funny enough, Jace doesn't care about all the people that were cheering him up, his only concern is his little wife. At that moment, she was the only one that was existing to him. After the performance, he met many top socialites who were impressed by his performance. Of course they know him but they actually wanted to congratulate him for the great performance. Philip was not left out. After thinking that it was enough for the greetings and all that, he decided to go to his company and handle some things before going home. He knows that with Jake, his wife will be safe, after enjoying the night with her frien
“This is all you should know about him." Victor pushes a file towards Jace. He stared at the file for a few seconds before he picked it up and started going through it.After a while he spoke, “Why is there nothing much about him?" “I couldn't find anything else, I think he's living a private life," Victor replied.Jace didn't say anything and just stared back at the file.“You can leave," he said, breaking the silence which recently erupted in the room. Victor bowed his head slightly before walking away.Jace was still staring at the file. “Darren Jones," he mumbled. He's a Londoner and recently, he enrolled in the same school as Constance. Darren is the same guy who was close to Constance back in London. Jace was jealous about their sudden closeness and that was why he quickly cut short their honeymoon. And now, Darren relocated to America and the best school he found in the whole of America suitable for his studies is the same school that Constance attends. Jace felt that him e
Constance point of view:I slowly open my eyes. My head hurts a lot. I sat up from the bed and my eyes looked round the room. This room is not familiar to me. Where am I? And why is my head hurting a lot? My brain is racking as I seek for an answer since I can't remember anything. But then, the door creaked open and Darren walked in with a small tray in his hands.Darren? What am I doing with Darren in this room? The last thing I remembered is…. I just can't remember anything at all . What is wrong with me?“You are awake." Darren flashed a beautiful smile at me as he walked up to me and dropped the tray which contains a white tea cup on the bedside table. He sits on the bed and stretches his hand as he touches my forehead. “The fever has gone down."“What happened to me? Where am I… I mean where are we?" I asked.“You don't remember?"“No, I don't remember anything." I simply replied. I'm confused because I don't know why I can't remember anything. Now, I think that the last thing I
Jace returned home late last night. It was past eleven. He met his grandfather and Hannah in the living room, they were both restless. Immediately they saw Jace, they asked him if he had seen Constance but Jace said no. “Wasn't she back from school?" He asked them.“She's not back from school, we have been calling her number but she's not picking up. We are becoming more worried."Jace became worried just like them. He also started calling Constance but she wasn't picking up. Throughout the night, he couldn't sleep. He informed the police and they said that they will carry out the search in the morning. Jace wasn't okay with what they said. He wants them to start looking for his wife that night but of course, that's not possible. The only thing best to do was calling the school management that night. Their answer was that no student was still in school at that hour, they had to check the whole school and even the CCTVs. Jace knows that no student will be in school till midnight but h
Darren was still waiting for my answer. I smile sheepishly. This was the reason that I didn't even want him to take me inside the mansion yesterday. Now, he knows about my marriage with the popular Jace they all know. No need of hiding it from him and no need of hiding it from Jocelyn too. Jocelyn is my best friend, I feel guilty hiding things from her. I will tell her today.Even if I don't tell others, I should tell my friends. Grandfather has always wanted me to bring Jocelyn over and because of my lies, I can't. So it will be best to tell her my identity so that I can invite her to the mansion whenever I feel like it.“Actually, no one knows that I'm married to him," I mumbled.“Why? I mean why did you hide it? You are married to a man who's every girl's dream man, It's something to be proud of."Yeah, Darren has a point. Marrying the most popular musician is really something to be proud of. But how will I tell him that my relationship with my husband is not that good and I can't t
Jace sat in his office chair, his eyes were stuck on the laptop whereas his mind wasn't there. He's lost in thought…. Thoughts about his wife. He thinks he's stupid, what's wrong with him? Why's he unnecessarily angry and won't return home? He has been staying in his penthouse and it's so boring. Unbelievable, it was never like this in the past until Constance came into his life. What has that girl been doing to him?He hasn't been home for two nights now and he is already missing his wife even though he doesn't want to admit it. He has hardly slept well these past two nights and yet he can't go home.“F*ck you Jace," he muttered under his breath. Since he trusts his wife, why is he still stopping himself from going home? His men have been digging deep to find out anything about Darren but nothing to find. His life is too private, that guy looks suspicious. He needs to understand his motive to suddenly come into his wife's life. About the kidnapping, the police haven't given any vital
Seeing her husband, Constance remembered the conversation she had with Mr. Williams last night. Last night, it actually hurt her a lot that her husband didn't come home again. Her mind wouldn't stop wandering through lots of things. The words of that woman she saw at the restroom yesterday are still disturbing her. She wouldn't stop thinking about the fact that her husband may be having an affair with that woman. Why's her husband hurting her, why can't he love her and accept their marriage?Mr. Williams noticed the sadness in her eyes when she came to his room to give him his night medicine as she does most of the time— even though she was trying her best to cover up her sadness with a forced smile. “Constance, are you okay?" Mr. Williams asked after gulping down the medicine with some water and returning the glass cup to Constance.“Ehm…, yes I'm fine," Constance stutters as she sets the glass cup aside. She knows that she's lying, that's why she couldn't maintain eye contact with
“Constance!" Jocelyn screamed in horror. Her friend must be crazy, is she trying to take the bullet?The high pitch of Jocelyn's voice alerted a lot of people in the room and it frightened the gunman as he withdrew his gun pointing towards Jace but Constance didn't stop running since she thought the gun was still pointed at Jace.“Jace!" She screamed and pushed her husband out of the way but unfortunately fell with him as they rolled off the floor. “Jace! Jace! Are you okay?" She asked, shaking at the process as she checked her husband. She's on top of him giving her access to check her husband very well. “You are fine, you are fine," she whimpers and hugs him. Releasing the tears she tried to sniff back but couldn't. Her heart is palpitating and her body shocking as she hugs Jace. She has never felt this kind of fear in her life…. The fear of losing her husband was so intense. “Constance," Jace calls softly. He sounds confused too. Maybe not only him but everyone around. No one se
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.
