Jealousy | part-1

2024-10-29 19:42:56Everything was good until the night came up. After dinner I fell asleep waiting, but Hunter never got back in our suite.
In the morning I woke up from the sound of the door opening, and he came inside. The first thing that caught my eyes were his disheveled clothes. Without sparing me a glance he strode straight inside the bathroom.
Minutes after I started pacing around the room worried, he stepped out of the washroom fresh and ordered. I was going to ask about his previous condition, but someone knocked on the door.
"Room service!"
I frowned. "I didn't order anything," I muttered.
Walking past me Hunter opened the door.
"Here's your ordered phone, sir, and," the boy extended out a black envelope, "this letter was sent to you."
Phone? A new one? What happened to his old one?

The liquid got caught in my throat, and a fit of coughs left my mouth. I felt someone rubbing my back. I looked back expecting the sea-green eyes and an icy cold scolding instead met with two piercing gray eyes."I deeply apologize for my interruption between you and your drink," he said in a smooth velvety voice."Mr. Christian Delgado... It's alright." I gave a small smile."Call me Christian, please."I nodded."Well, may I know why such a beautiful lady sitting alone on such a beautiful evening?" He sat on a stool beside me looking quite interested.The previous events crossed my mind making my heart squeeze once more. No, I'm not going to think about him."I just got tired from dancing.""Oh no! My hope is crushed.""What do you mean?" I frowned."I've

I opened my eyes, and a yelp left my mouth as pain shot through my head. I got up clutching my temples and let out some curses. That's what happened when you let your toxic assumptions get to your head. My eyes widened as my stomach contracted. Leaping off the bed I ran to the bathroom and spewed out all the contents from last night.Splashing some water on my face I got out and sat on the bed rubbing my forehead. My movement froze as the events from last night came into my mind. Jumping off the bed I looked around the room, my mind in full alert. I clearly remembered passing out on the sofa. How did I end up in the bed?Could it be Hunter? But wasn't he angry at me?I relaxed thinking about him when a shuffling sound came from the other room, and I frowned. Was he still in the suite?"Hunter? Is that you..." My words trailed off as my eyes scanned around the
Married to A Cruel Billionaire Masquerade ball
Dear Mr. and Mrs. King, you have been invited to the final round of the glorious contest of the Elites. A masquerade ball will be held shortly after the winner is announced.Putting down the letter I blew out loudly. Honestly, staying here I had started to hate parties. Had it not been the last for a couple years, I would go insane for sure.About the competition, as far as I gathered from Mrs. Arthur, it was a club for wealthy people to help and support each other. Every three years an award competition had been held to select the head of the board who would have various advantages for the time being.A knock sounded at the door. "Ember! Darling, are you in there?"May she live long. "Yes, Mrs. Arthur. Come in."In seconds she was in and sitting beside me, traces of worry visible in her face. "How are you feeling today, darling?""I'm g

The same rose-gold dress, the same colored mask, same low bun on chocolate brown hair... It looked as if I was dancing with Hunter.But I was here.Who... How... Was I hallucinating, or was that some long lost twin of mine that my parents forgot to tell me about?Suddenly the girl's eyes met mine from behind Hunter's shoulder, and her red lips curved into a smile; an evil smile that made the hairs at the back of my neck stand. She slowly started moving her lips to Hunter's neck and breathing in his scent while keeping her eyes at me the whole time.My feet started moving. I couldn't let that happen. I had to find out who she was, and what was going on. As I neared them my movement was ceased by a group of people blocking the way."Ah... Excuse me! Pleas- Ah! Let me pass, please."Getting myself out of the crowd I came to a halt a

"I don't know, Megan." We were in Hunter's private jet flying back home leaving Paris and all those craziness behind, but still my mind was restless. I couldn't sleep even after trying for the past six hours; even the lush leather of those seats couldn't comfort me. I had this weird feeling inside like the worst was yet to come."I can clearly see something's bothering you. Why don't you share? I might be able to help you know," Megan suggested."I can't tell you... If they saw they'll hurt him.""You know we're thousands feet up in the air with only birds watching us. I doubt they're intelligent enough to get feathery spies."A light chuckle left my mouth. "You're right." I thought for a second. "What about spy cameras?" I did a subtle scan around the deluxe interior of the plane."No chance! This is sir's extremely private property with Chris in charge. You

"Which jungle?""According to my calculations... California.""California?! That's so far away from home." I looked around at the uninhabited place as a new kind of fear started settling in my heart. Despite the beauty it held, the creepiness crawled into my mind like a spiraling serpent. I had seen enough news of hikers getting lost and found dead in the forests. Oh God! What have I gotten ourselves into?Hunter pulled down the parachute stuck in the tree that welcomed me so gently and turned it into a bright red arrow sign in the ground. Then he started marching ahead, not giving me a glance."Wait for me!" Jumping back to my feet I ran after him. "If Chris and the crew did the same we should find them here somewhere, right?"Silence."How're we going to get out of here?"A bird somewhere from above twe

What could a gang of criminals do in a jungle?And why would they kill a forest ranger?Perhaps, they arranged a secret meeting in the middle of the jungle so no eye of law could cast a judging look at them, but unfortunately, one did and shot dead.Yeah, that must be the case."Can you not walk faster?"His question ignited a fire in me. I stopped and stomped on the ground crushing some poor twig fella. "Walk faster? I can't even walk anymore. Let them kill me. I don't care! I'm thirsty, I'm hungry. I'm-" Running a finger over my forehead I jerked off the sweat. "Sweaty." Taking two steps forward I hugged the recumbent tree beside that seemed so comfy just like my mother's welcoming lap. "I can't walk no more..." I cried.An agitated sigh reached my ear followed by heavy footsteps, and the next thing I knew I w

"What?" I went rigid."Come on! What are you waiting for?"Turning around he began running pulling me along with him, and I let him for my mind was still busy processing the new outrageous information just delivered. My head tilted over my shoulder for a confirmation look, and a gasp left my mouth. The one spiral of black smoke converted into a dozen more in a matter of moments. Was it a joke of fate or was death indeed closing in on us I had no idea. All I knew was that I didn't wanna die this way, I didn't want him to die because of my fault.My hand around his tightened while my pace quickened matching his perfectly. All the guilt, exhaustion, thirst and hunger was long forgotten, and only one thing circled around my head. Survival. Just as it did with all those lives present in the jungle. The happy chirping of the morning birds turned into pure shrieks, and the wild flapping of their wings sc

Seven years later~Warmth glided over my skin, drawing me out of sleepland. I squinted my eyes to block the sun from directly hitting my irises. Grunting, I turned over only to discover the other half of the bed to be empty. I frowned and sat up, my eyes landed on the digital clock on the bedside table.11:17 am.Huh? I overslept. Why didn't he wake m- A sudden, intense urge to vomit rose up my throat. Slapping a hand over my mouth, I ran to the bathroom and leaned over the toilet. Clearing my stomach of the remaining of last night's dinner, I straightened up, and a mild dizziness rocked the world around me. My hand pressed on the cold tiled wall beside me until the feeling passed.Walking to the basin, I splashed water over my face and looked at myself in the mirror. My hand unconsciously drove down to my flat stomach, and a smile took over my lip
Married to A Cruel Billionaire Epilogue
A warm, buttery aroma with a splash of citrus wafted through my nose as we smeared icing and wrapped edible sheets around the four-story cake, topping it up with esculent red laces, rose petals, and finally a cute pair of tiny bride and groom. Proud we stepped back and observed the masterpiece we two expert ladies made. "It's perfect," I gushed, glancing at my mom and bursting out in laughter as traces of shortening decorated her rosy cheeks giving her a look of a curious kid. "You got some..." I pointed at her face cackling more. "You should see your face, darling," she smugged. Widening my eyes I turned back observing myself in the glass door that separated the kitchen from the shop and gasped as bits of the white coating laced my nose as well. As I looked back both our frames shook from mirth and fueling it appeared dad showered in cake mix.

"Ready, love?" the ethereal voice of my husband reached my ears, and I looked up, my expression brighter than the morning sun.Finally the day arrived when I could leave these bleak walls of white and blue and go back to my sweet heaven. It'd been three weeks, and my mind was already going bananas."Yes. Please, take me home already."The corners of his lips slightly raised in his rare smile as he extended his hands. Taking them I carefully alighted my legs as my feet touched the cold floor and propped on them. A faint ache still gnawed at the spot, but the feeling of elation dominated all."Are you sure you can walk?"Flashing my overprotective hubby with a hearty smile I got on my tippi-toes and planted a peck on his warm lips. "I can. Now let's go."Immediately he leaned down pressing his lips back on mine in a lingering kiss as a warm fe

Everything seemed to slow down as I watched the spark alighting off the tiny muzzle hole, smoke arising after it, and like a wave of energy it hit me throwing me off my feet as I flew some inches behind, my body colliding into a hard yet warm one. Two protective arms wrapped around me lowering my body to the ground."Ember..." his deep alarmed voice reached my ears, and I glanced at his pained gaze growing anxious. Did the bullet hit him? I was sure it didn't hit me for I felt no piercing pain like a tiny metal tearing through the flesh but numb. All I felt was numb down in the torso.My eyes traveled forward where the pretty redhead officer had Vienna pinned as she struggled. And then my gaze fell on my tummy, the white top painted into a new color. Red, and it was spreading. A burning sensation began to rise in the spot though I wasn't sure if it was from my imagination or from...

"Ember, darling. Now what shall we do with you? I can't simply allow my brother to have any means of happiness in his life." He glanced up brooding, a finger tapping his lip. "Oh wait, I know." He strode closer to Hunter and leaned down. "How about I give you a demo of how I dispatched our mother, huh little brother? Hmm... That'll be fun.""Wh-What do you mean?" Gulping I glanced at Hunter who looked like he was lost in his own world and wasn't coming back anytime sooner."Come on, boys. Bring her here.""Nonono. Hunter! Ah, noo! Hunter!" I screamed and thrashed against their hold but in vain as they dragged me towards the steep hill. I dug my toes in the soil in an attempt to obstruct them yet luck didn't support me, and the guards pushed me right on Christian's arms.The pure disdain that ran through my veins against him, scorched the skin

Darkness began to lighten, and once again my eyes fluttered open, sharp malign pain continued to bug my head. I scanned around, and this time I was tied in the back of a van.What the heck were those two specimens of demon doing?Startling me the doors of the van jerked open, and unintentionally I cowered back a bit as two men stood before me with Christian behind them.With a motion of his finger the men approached me and I began squirming. "Don't touch me! No! Mmngng..." A hand wrapped around my mouth and the others began untying my hands and legs. I yelped as one of them yanked me by the hair and set me on the ground outside the infernal van.I scanned the surrounding only to witness endless rows of trees until my eyes landed on the traitorous baboon, and I advanced towards him, clutching his collars in my fists. "You! How could you have d

My senses began to sharpen, and whispers tingled my ears. My eyes fluttered open only to shut back from a blinding light. A groan left my mouth as my head felt heavy like it was made of concrete. I lifted my hand up but nothing happened. I tried again yet it didn't budge from behind me. What was going on? Ignoring the shooting ache in my head and body, I frantically surveyed my circumambient, my vision blurry. From the look of it, I was bound to a chair in the same room I fainted, this time a bulb above me illuminated my surroundings better. Patches of blood stains occupied the roof and the walls, and a sharp metallic stench hit my nose causing a bile to rise. I didn't even wanna think about what happened here before. Wait... "Caleb!" "E-Ember, a-are you ok?" My head whipped to the direction, at the far dark corner.

I let out a relieved sigh, realizing my promise to Karen was finally kept, and more importantly, I was seeing my life getting back together just the way I had always dreamed. Hunter, by some miracle, changed drastically, acting all loving and caring, taking me shopping and buying loads of clothes, overlooking my protests. He even took me to a minikin ice cream date.Right now we sat outside an ice skating rink which he rented for the day just for us, and I decided to ruin his plan by inviting Liliana, Matt, Beth and Lea which he wasn't much pleased about. Therefore he sat there with a grouchy face while I enjoyed the fanciful skating session of the charming couples.Beth and Lea just skated around, hand in hand while holding Ana's hand, Matt spun her around like a pro. Then holding her from behind he lifted her and spun himself, Ana doing a perfect landing at the end with his support.

Stepping out of the building I marched to him stopping a couple feet away. Hunter straightened up, and the crowd parted as he strode towards me, my breathing hitching at my throat. His suit which I had been considering as his second skin all this time was gone and replaced with a V neck white shirt topped with a dark leather jacket and denim jeans."I'm glad you came." He lifted my hand to his lips and placed a kiss on the back."I hope I don't regret it," I said as lights flashed around us and people whispered but nothing bothered me for the heart drumming against my chest sounded louder.The corners of his rosy lips quirked up into a smile. Not a ghost of a smile nor an arrogant smirk but an actual genuine smile even though tiny which just made him a thousand times hotter than before. "I assure you won't. Come." He gently tugged me to his car and opened the door fo
