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.
“Jace!!!!!"The blaring and deafening voice of the rousing students nearly breaks my eardrum but luckily my hands are there to help me, I cover my two ears with both hands making a disgusting face due to the gruesome screams. “Jace is here! Come with me Constance, we need to get his autograph!" my friend Jocelyn rushed off her words as she roust me to pry through the numerous numbers of students who left their classes to be here just for one man and that man is my husband.That breathtaking, mouth-watering, virile and dazzling young man who is the idol of every student here today is none other but my cold and arrogant husband.I nearly laugh out loud when Jocelyn coaxes me to come here today with her so that I can get a glimpse of the world's most handsome and talented idol not to talk of how rich he is. To get a glimpse of my husband, a man I see everyday.... that was funny.He's a multi-billionaire who is not just a musician but a great and powerful business tycoon. He's so ruthless
It's my wedding night! I'm supposed to shout and scream in joy right? But hell no! I am sleeping on the damn uncomfortable couch still in my wedding dress. I got married to Jace Williams. The popular American musician. I know nothing about my husband, I recently found out about his name and his career. He is popular, I supposed to know him but I don't. Am not a fan of music and I don't know any musicians. I grew up in a small city in Texas with my late parents and I wasn't exposed to most things, especially social life. My father died when I was thirteen and I recently lost my mother and that was last year after my eighteenth birthday. It was the darkest day of my life... I became an orphan on that day. My mother who was my only source of strength after my father's death left me too. I was left to thrive alone in this cruel world. It wasn't easy as I went through a lot. I dropped out of school because I couldn't fund my education. All my mother's life savings varnished in the hospit
I tried tossing around thinking I was sleeping on the bed but ended up falling down.“Ouch!" I wince in pain as my butt and whole body hurts. I think it is already morning as I can see bright lights from the outside glimmering inside the room. I slowly stand on my feet, feeling the pains all over my body as my eyes look round the room, there is no sight of my husband. I peered my ears to know if I could hear the splashing of water from the bathroom but heard none. It looks like he's not in the room at all, maybe he has left for work. Isn't he a musician? I thought they only needed to work when they wanted to produce a song. Well, I don't know much about music and it's stuff so I can't tell.I yawn and stretch my arm, not that I am feeling sleepy but I feel pain all over my body coupled with my butt which was the most affected part from the fall since I tumbled and landed with my back, thereby hitting my butt on the floor with a loud thud.I only not feel pains in my body from falling
I saunter downstairs through the wide spiral staircase which looks like the type of staircase that can be found in a castle. This mansion is extraordinary, every single thing around here screams wealth. I haven't even viewed the other space in the house, just the little I've seen makes me ponder if I will ever fit into this family or if I made a mistake becoming the daughter in-law of this family. It looks like I am still yet to understand the excessiveness of the family I got married into and the distance between my life and theirs. As I was taking in the beauty of the living room which looks like the whole house of some average families, I heard someone's voice behind me. It was even now that I realized that no one had come down for breakfast. I was rushing downstairs thinking that I was late not knowing that none of the family members had arrived for the dinning. It seems they are not hungry. Well, I am ravenous and need some chunk of food in my empty stomach.“Hi!" I hear the sam
The moment my husband's soft but yet frigid voice erupted the whole living room, I could see Melinda flinch a bit but quickly straighten up and put on a bold look to face my husband. That little action of hers makes me wonder if she fears my husband despite her saucy and arrogant attitude. Well, no one wouldn't fear my husband... the man has a very powerful aura that can stiffen a person. He took a glance at me before fixing his gaze on Melinda who tried to appear intrepid but her wavering eyes couldn't help her. Is this what my husband's presence could do to someone? Even Melinda who appeared so resolute a while ago now looks like a shivering lamb trying to hide in her shell. “Jace... you are here," Melinda stutters with a nervous smile. I can feel the intensity of her voice, like, she's trying to appear valiant in front of this young man whose blank face can't give out any emotion at all, you just can't see through his eyes, they are so cold and icy that it could make someone shud
The breakfast wasn't something pleasing. Mr Williams made these people's hatred towards me waxen, he told them to give me respect and accept me as the daughter-in-law of this family and that infuriated them. I just don't even get why they hate me. Why can't they love and accept me, even though I'm poor, I am already married to their brother. What am I even saying, they don't even love the brother in question and the brother in question doesn't even love me.They all looked dividend according to their private family. Mr Williams has properly introduced me to them and I now know their names and their position in the family. He also told me the family norms and many other things.The blue-eyed guy who's Ryan is Hannah's fiance and the black shoulder length hair lady who's Margaret is his mother.The gray-eyed guy who's Kevin is Melinda's husband and I realize that both of them are rude and arrogant couple. The short blonde hair lady who's Hailey is his mother and what I also observed abou
No need of thinking too much because his eyes don't give out anything at all. I just took my gaze away from him and directed it towards Darren. “Are you new to this city?" Darren asks. “Yes, I am actually new to this country. Am from the United States," I simply replied.“Oh! wow! I love the country. I've been there a couple of times. I guess you're here on vacation. Did you come alone?" he asked once again.I wanted to say that I came to this resort with my husband but I quickly restricted myself. My husband told the manager that I'm his friend and to Annabelle, he said that I'm his maid.... that means he doesn't want anyone to know that I'm his wife. “Yes," I mumble a reply. I feel bad saying that but that's what my husband wants. He might get angry if he finds out that I told someone that I'm his wife. He's a musician and a lot of people from this city know him, so I am sure he won't introduce a nobody like me as his wife. If I am a model as Annabelle, maybe he would. With the

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.
