Ali was breathless and helpless under Gerald's mouth ministration. He massaged the right breast while sucking on the right one with fervor. She moaned and trashed as she had never felt that amount of bliss before. She felt like she was floating in the clouds. "G.. Gera..ld...aa," she cried out when Gerald ran his hand over her womanhood. He rubbed it a few times before removing his hand. His clothes came undone in haste, and he threw them on the floor. Ali gulped when she caught sight of his toned body. She always knew Gerald was hot, but today she was getting a better view. His broad shoulders and well-defined muscles made heat pool in her belly. Her wide eyes stared in disbelief, as she couldn't believe Gerald would fit inside of her. "It won't hurt. Just relax," he whispered in her ear. His voice was like the allure of the devil. His fingers found their way in between her legs, and he rubbed her where it ached. Ali squirmed and moaned at the sweet sensation that traveled
Ali released a huff as she stomped towards Jared and delivered a sound slap to his face. She couldn't believe the nerve of the man trying to rape her and then saying that she was his wife. "Even a dog has more morals than you," she spat, glaring at him as he laid on the floor. "You are my wife now. I have legally paid your bride price to your father," Jared argued, his voice came out through gritted teeth. Ali wanted to laugh. She couldn't believe her father and this man had planned everything behind her back. She towered over Jared as she said, "I don't give a damn about what you have done. I am not your wife now and ever. You committed a grave mistake by trying to rape me today and that I won't forgive." "Forgive? You bitch!" Jared hollered like a crazed man. He suddenly got to his feet and went to attack Ali, but before he could get to her, a kick to his side sent him flying across the room. Ali grimaced as he landed on a table. She gulped and looked towards Gerald and the la
Ali blinked her eyes rapidly to stop the tears that threatened to slip from her eyes. She turned away from him and began to walk away to prevent herself from acting out what she had in mind. The only reason she wasn't talking back at Gerald or cursing at him was because of his status. She rubbed her eyes, she didn't know why she was affected by him. Maybe because she had already accepted to marry Martin to elevate her status, and avenge herself against her father, losing it now felt like someone had snatched her life support. She was so angry that she didn't mind walking to the hospital. As she left, Gerald got into the back seat of his car and Barry drove them out of the estate. They drove past Ali on the way and Barry felt his heart twist at the way Gerald was treating her. He really liked Ali but having her was impossible as he didn't know what Gerald would think of that. Gerald wanted the girl out of his sight and that was why he even fired her from her job. Occasionally h
Meanwhile, while Gerald drove home, Ali got a cab after a long walk. She phoned the cab company and ordered a lift. She didn't go directly to the hospital but decided to go and find Cheyenne at her office. She alighted at the front of the company and asked the driver to wait for her. As she got into the company, she was stopped by the receptionist. "I'm here to see Cheyenne Wayne," she told the girl behind the desk and watched her make a call to Cheyenne's office. She was asked to wait, and after more than thirty minutes she saw Cheyenne walking out, dressed in a gray gown. Her shoes clicked against the floor quietly as she walked like a queen. "Sister Ali, what brings you here? I thought you were at the hospital," Cheyenne asked, smiling at her. Ali looked behind her to confirm if maybe Cheyenne was ignoring her and talking to someone else. When she realized that it was actually her who Cheyenne called sister, she laughed. "This was the same tactics your mother used in clim
"You can't give up like this," Emily put her hands on her hips, "They are living in peace after ruining your life, and you want to let them be? Come with me, let's deal with them together," she suggested, and took Ali's hand to lift her from the chair. "I've already done that. I went to Cheyenne's office and beat her up. Mary should be on her way here now," Ali said, standing to her feet and walking towards her sleeping brother. She was only enduring everything because of her brother. He was her everything now, and she had promised on her mother's grave to take care of him. Vivian looked taken aback that Ali had already gone to find Cheyenne. She knew Ali always avoided head-on conflict with people. That was why she endured Mary and her father and even kept her superior's lecherous demands from her a secret. However, Ali was no push over. She was like a cat, if cornered to the edge, could fight back like a tiger. She worried for Ali, especially when the Laverock family would not ha
Ali stared at her father like he was a total stranger with not an ounce of emotion in her eyes. She didn't flinch at his threat, but Emily, the mother hen, blew her top. She glared menacingly at Lucas, "What can you do? Huh tell me. You are not only a useless piece of garbage for what you did to your daughter and son, you are also a fool for allowing this crow to rule your life." She said, insulting the couple. Mary felt her cheek burn at the insult which the security men watching them clearly heard. She turned to Lucas with tearful eyes and cried out, "Honey, you have to get justice for me. Call the police and have this shameless woman and Ali arrested." Ali rolled her eyes at Mary's antics of spinning her husband to arrest her. There was no way Lucas would do that, as the things she collected were never to be seen outside. Mary was a fool to think that she still had her father wrapped around her finger. She knew her father well enough to know that he could even sell Mary if h
Harriet sat on her balcony quietly stroking her cat absentmindedly. Her eyes stared ahead, but she wasn't looking at anything in particular. The door of her room opened, and her Butler walked in with Mrs Graham behind him. He had a tablet in his hand while Mrs Graham carried a tray of tea and snacks. "I thought I wouldn't be having tea today. What took you so long?" Harriet shifted her gaze to look at them. Mrs Graham served her a cup of tea before taking a seat beside her. Her butler, Darrien, took the other seat. Harriet loved having tea with them at this time every day because Gerald was too busy to keep her company and Martin would one way or another ruin her mood. "Gerald arrived a few minutes ago, and I had to do a little work for him," Darrien said. Harriet hummed before taking a sip from her cup. She wondered what her grandson was up to lately, as he hadn't made any moves since she announced Martin's marriage. She somehow hoped he had come to her to stop her, but
TEASER: Somewhere in the future. "... you may now kiss your bride," the judge said, and Ali looked at Gerald's handsome face that looked like an AK-47 glaring at her. She smiled nervously, knowing there was no way Gerald would kiss her. However, her eyes widened when she saw him lower his head towards her. He didn't kiss her, his lips went to the crook of her ears. Then Ali heard, "Get ready Alice Wayne, you just signed a contract deal with the devil." Ali tensed after what he said, but then she shoved it off as she knew Madam Harriet was behind her and would save her from Gerald. "Have you ever heard of missing brides?" Gerald continued, taking her hand. His words were like a knife placed in her throat and Ali gulped, looking at him warily. "You haven't," Gerald smiled sinisterly at her, "Congratulations," he said, leading her to walk. "You have the privilege to become one and from me." Ali lost her footing, and stumbled, falling to the ground, and it was that moment Ger
Gerald stared at Madeline with a cold, calculating smile. The room fell into an eerie silence, as Madeline suddenly turned quiet from shock after seeing the child. Her fear was etched across her face. She could not believe that Gerald had caught a hold of her family. She had painstakingly hidden them away, so how did he find them? She was sure they were safe, and no one would link them to her.Alan, the man who had been roughly dragged into the other room, looked startled and disoriented. His eyes darted around the room, glaring angrily at the men who pinned him to the chair and tied him up. He had been captured when he was returning from his meeting with a client in Mongolia. Madeline's son continued sobbing in the other room, and it brought tears to Madeleine's eyes that slipped down to her shirt. "Gerald, they did nothing wrong to you, I hurt you, please let them go. My son is just six years old," she struggled with the chair helplessly. Gerald pouted his lips and let the silen
Music recommendation: In The End by Linkin Park."Leave it be for now, let me deal with this one first. Have the child and lover moved to the other room. It's been so long I last saw her," Gerald said, and resumed walking. His expression turned frostier even as he walked languidly through the corridor and halted before a steel door. The door was pushed back by William, and as he walked in, his eyes observed the condition of the room sharply, even under the scarce lighting. He was quick to pick out a flying insect in a corner of the room. It was a cockroach."I didn't remember giving you permission to have companions," Gerald said, looking in a particular direction. The light was turned on abruptly, and it shone directly on the face of the girl who sat directly opposite it and in the middle of the room.Her eyes were forced to close because of the light that fell directly on her face. "You didn't come to visit, I was lonely, and they came to keep me company," the girl said. Her voi
Harriet raised a brow, looking at Ali quizzically. "Why are you against it? Is there something wrong with your body? A scar?" Ali shook her head and nodded at the same time. She stared, confused and frustrated at the same time. Harriet tilted her head, her eyes narrowed. "Did Gerald hurt you?" She asked, the air around her turning chilly. Ali's mouth opened and shut as she struggled with herself about whether to tell Harriet about it or not. But seeing as the woman's expression was turning uglier by the second, she decided to tell her. If Harriet could punish Gerald for hurting her, then why would she hold back? She lowered the neck of her collared shirt and showed Harriet the finger marks on her neck. She side-glanced at Harriet and noticed the way the older woman was trying so hard to control her anger. "How dare he lay a finger on you?" She asked through gritted teeth. Ali's face crinkled with a cheerless smile as she said, "It was a misunderstanding. He thought I was tryi
Again? Ali thought, and a frown settled on her face. Was he dumped by his first love? Did she cheat on him with someone else? So a woman was the reason for his refusal to get married and also why he kept treating her like an enemy. She observed Harriet as the older woman's mood turned gloomy. Then Harriet started her story. _______________Gerald had finished his heirship training and had returned to the country. However, he didn't return alone. He brought with him his best friend, Caleb, and a girl, Madeline. Caleb was the illegitimate son of a business mogul in Barcelona. He and Gerald had met at school. Initially, Gerald didn't like Caleb when they met because Caleb was clingy and a troublemaker. He was always cold to him, but Caleb wasn't fazed and kept looking for him, and eventually he won Gerald over. A few years later, when Gerald was attacked by thugs in Hong Kong when he went for a business meeting, he met Madeline. She saved him and hid him in her shabby apartment.
Hello guys, Please note that this note is to inform you that this chapter is intertwined with two scenes. One is where Harriet is giving us a history of Gerald, and the other is what Gerald is doing. Don't get confused. I am going to demarcate them with a line. You'll also know the reason why Gerald hated marriage and really hated Ali, and why he was so cruel and heartless.__________ Gerald walked past the man, his steps turning hasty as he reached the door of the room in no time. "When did he awaken?" Gerald asked, glaring at the doctor."Yesterday, but he was fine until an hour ago," the doctor frantically explained, his gaze darting to and fro between Gerald and the door. The way his body trembled made Gerald glare harder at him. The screams continued, and so did the thudding on the wall. "Where is Nurse Blair?" Gerald asked, taking off his wrist watch, then his jacket. "T—that," the doctor hesitated, his shifty eyes stared at everywhere but Gerald. Gerald's face became unsig
Hello guys, Please note that this note is to inform you that this chapter is intertwined with three scenes. One is where Harriet is giving us a history of Gerald; the other is a flash back on Gerald's childhood; and the last is what Gerald is up to. Don't get confused. I am going to seperate it with a line. You'll also know the reason why Gerald hated marriage and really hated Ali, and why he was so cruel and heartless.___________ Ali walked around Gerald's room. His room was sophisticated but the main theme was black, and only a few things in the room was white. He surely was just black and white and was in serious need of color in the room and in his life. Her clothes were already arranged in the closet by the maids. She went for a little tour and couldn't help marveling at the splendor and his taste. A little more color would make it heaven on earth. She sighed and took a seat on the bed. Her eyes stared at the bed for a while before she read the text that Mary sent her.
Bridget alighted in front of a red-painted two-storey building and threw her car keys at the gateman. She walked briskly towards the entrance, and the bulky men standing guard opened the door for her. A woman was standing behind the door, and as soon as she walked in, the woman passed her a glove and a nose mask. "Don Moses and Don Romero are checking the new drugs that arrived yesterday with the clients. Do you want to join him?" The woman asked. "No, I want to see my son first," Bridget replied. "Martin is not allowed to see anyone..." "Do I look like I care about Dad's orders? I said I want to see my son," Bridget snapped at the girl before turning and pushing the next door beside her and walking through it. She was fuming, and her heels made a sharp sound against the marble tiles. She took a few turns along the corridor and walked down a flight of stairs, which eventually led her to an iron gate. She sighed and banged on the gate. The ruffling of keys was heard befo
"Stop talking nonsense Joe. You are still too young for such thoughts," Vivian sighed. "And you and Ali are way too old to notice it," Joe retorted, "I can feel it, he likes Ali, but she is too dense to not notice and ended up with that mean man that makes her cry," he balled his hands. Vivian stared at him surprised. Joe had pretended not to know anything, but he understood everything perfectly well. It seemed they had to stop having such conversations in front of him. "Listen here boy, don't talk about this with anyone, it's a secret," Vivian warned. Joe huffed and puffed his cheek, "Of course I won't tell. I feel ashamed just thinking that that man is my brother-in-law. People would surely laugh at us," he turned to his side and laid down. Vivian stood there stunned and speechless. She stared at his head. Did the surgery do something to his mental state? Or was it his innate nature that he had hidden? Joe had never talked like that. She didn't know that it was his condition
Gerald couldn't fathom how a girl in this time and age could be clueless about what happened around and with her. Was she that dumb? He gritted his teeth as he enunciated every word, "Because it is rare to see grandmother force her will on me. She just woke up one morning and started plotting so much. Did you think she allowed you to marry into our family because you saved her? How naive," he sneered. Ali blinked; she was lost for words and could only look at Gerald with her dull black eyes. He said, "Grandma isn't someone who takes a no when she wants something. She manipulated you so you could marry me with another motive other than bearing grandchildren." He didn't hide anything about his grandmother. He wanted Ali to know the kind of person she was, not to spoil Harriet's image in her eyes but to make sure they both didn't conspire against him. Having a wife who blindly follows the orders of someone else, especially someone like his grandmother, was risky. He wanted Ali
