“Mom, what is going to happen now?” I asked pacing around the room

I kept feeling unsettled whenever I thought about Naya, I had a lot of what-ifs and I didn't want to take any chances

“Calm down nothing will happen,” Mom said trying to calm me down but I wasn't having any of it

“What if she decides to rebel and not get married?” I asked

“She isn't going to, she cares about her sister too much,” Mom said

“What then would happen to me? I'm not going to get married to that disgusting crippled man” I spat

“You are not going to get married to him honey trust me,” Mom said

“Just leave Naya to me and trust me, she isn't going to do anything to stop the marriage she knows what is at stake she wouldn't gamble with her sister’s life like that” Mom added trying to assure me, I wanted to believe her but parts of me just couldn't settle and believe her.

    NAYAAll through the night I was tossing and turning all I wanted to do was to barge into my parent's room so they could give the money to me and I could rush back to the hospital to deposit the money. I couldn't let anything happen to my sister I wouldn't be able to live with myself and that particular night felt like forever it didn't want to end, I just didn't want to blow my chance by making them angry or whatnot that was the only thing holding me back from going to bang on their door.Eternity after I started to hear footsteps downstairs it was already morning so I ran downstairs with so much speed and I saw mom trying to fix breakfast for her husband and daughter. My plan was to act like I was helping her out then slowly tell her, that it was a matter of life and death so it should work out well.“Good morning,” I said under my breath, she looked shocked to see me in the kitchen but she just nodded while she and the cook continued making breakfast.

    I have never wanted a day to go by so fast in my life. After a long ass week, it was finally the day of the wedding, I have never waited and prayed for a day to come the way I prayed for this one to come. I even wanted them to move the day forward but Mom refused to listen to me. It was finally the day, the day I got married to the stranger in the wheelchair but I didn't care much about that. What I cared about was the money for Nyla’s surgery. I was to get it after the wedding was over and I couldn't wait. It was like a slap to my face when I cried and begged for the money and I didn't get it was like a piece of my heart was torn out and ripped to shreds in my face. How could people I called my parent do that to me?Was I entitled to think they would give it to me? They could afford it. I knew that they also knew that I knew but they didn't care or try to hide it, they were okay with Nyla living in pain rather than trusting me for once in their lives.“Can you not have that expres

Immediately the car stopped she flew out like she was being chased in a horror film, she kicked her shoes off her feet and they flew in different directions. It happened too quickly that I couldn't even react, she ran barefooted in her wedding gown like a crazy person“What the hell is going on?” I asked and my driver had the same look on his face he was just as confused as I was“What do we do sir?” he asked“Follow her,” I said and he did just that I guess it wouldn't be ideal to leave my newly wedded bride to run through the streetsWe slowed down when we caught up with her, for someone on foot she was going surprisingly too fa

    NAYAWith shaky hands, I slowly lifted the clothes that were covering her body. And there she was, lying still with her eyes shut. Her body was already cold, and her skin had turned almost as white as snow. My heart broke, and I felt a deep emptiness inside. I failed her. After all the pain she went through, I couldn’t give her that one thing she always dreamed of.She used to talk so much about how she wanted to go to the beach after everything was over. She said it was something she would do when she was finally free from all the pain, and I promised her that we would go together. It was supposed to be after her last surgery the one that was going to make everything better. I thought it would be the beginning of a new life for her, but instead, it turned out to be the end. I couldn’t keep my promise.I couldn’t do that one thing for her, the one thing she asked for. I felt like I had let her down, and the weight of it crushed me. I wanted it all to end.

    The cemetery was quiet, except for the soft rustling of leaves in the wind, I could see Leon from the corner of my eyes. He was the one that ordered Nyla’s body to be removed from the room that was the only time I stepped out, I just laid there with her crying over and over again but now I felt nothing no emotions no pain just numbness.My knees dug into the damp earth, my hands clutching the edge of Nyla’s coffin. She was right there, yet she wasn’t. The only family I had, the one person who loved me without conditions, was gone.Tears streamed down my face as I whispered a broken apology. “I’m so sorry, Nyla. I’m so sorry I couldn’t save you.” My voice cracked, the weight of guilt choking me. The people behind me faded into the background. I didn’t care about their presence. None of them mattered the only person who did was about to be six feet under the ground.The priest’s words felt hollow, just noise in the emptiness around me. Nothing they said could bring her back.

    LEONI felt unsettled after leaving her in the hospital but the tone in her voice when she told me to leave, I just couldn't keep laying around with her. I couldn't help but wonder how she was doing, it was almost three days and I hadn't heard from her. But I pushed her to the back of my mind and went on with my day just because she was my wife doesn't mean she was my problem to deal with.“Sir, do you think she is still at the hospital?” Nick my driver askedHe just had to spoil my mood that early morning“Who is that?” I asked pretending not to know who he was talking about “Your wife sir,” he said earning him a glare from me“I’m just saying, the way she was that day I don't think it would be good for her to be left alone” he added“She has parents doesn't say?” I asked“But I feel you should check on her it is the right thing to do,” he said“Argh Nick why are you up my ass this morning it is too early for this I don't need your lectures” I groanedNick was the only person that c

    NAYAAfter the interaction with my parents at Nyla’s funeral Leon took me to his place and made the housekeeper show me an empty room where I would be staying. All I did was slip out of the wedding dress that had been stuck to my body and laid on the floor in my underwear. I couldn't tell how long I stayed in that same spot but days went by and nights went by and I didn't move a muscle, every time the housekeeper brought food probably to check if I was still alive. The food was left untouched every day but she would come and change the old plate to a new plate whenever she liked without saying a word to me and I appreciated that.One particular day she came in and stared long at me before she proceeded to open up the curtains making me wince as the bright sun reflection almost blinded me, that was the first sound I had made in a while my throat was dry and it hurt bad“Staving yourself wouldn't change anything, instead fight back and you need to be alive to do that,” the older woman s

    It was like living in a prison, they always brought my breakfast, lunch, and dinner at a particular time. It was never a minute later. I was allowed to go outside but only to a particular spot which was a mini garden the rest were off-limits to me. I could go into the kitchen because Leon doesn't go there and the living room also but the rest of the house I wasn't allowed to go there even the big library I would love to explore and get lost in the books there was out of bounds.I usually spent the whole day thinking of ways I could bring the Genreys to the ground, I didn't know how it could work out. They laughed in my face when I told them that they would get what was coming to them, when I told them I would be the cause of their ruin I was nothing just as I said there was no way I would be able to bring them down on my own, I would just become a subject to their mockery it would be like throwing stones in a pond to kill a fish all it those is cause a splash.Then a thought dropped i

    For the first time in what felt like forever, I could finally breathe without that weight on my chest. The constant fear, the feeling that something bad was always around the corner was gone, like I would get snatched and stuffed in a trunk once again. It had been weeks since Ryan was hospitalized, and though the memory of everything he’d done lingered in my mind, I was starting to feel at ease.The days had taken on a rhythm that felt… normal. I’d wake up early, make breakfast, and help Leon with his treatment. He had his bad days, days where he felt stuck, frustrated, or just plain tired but for every difficult moment, there was progress. Little by little, we were moving forward.And then there were days like today.The sun reflected through the wide windows of the home gym, casting a golden glow over everything. I stood by Leon, watching him as he prepared for another attempt at walking. His hands gripped the parallel bars tightly, his knuckles turning white from the pressure. Swea

    NAYAThe car ride back home was quiet, almost painfully so. Leon sat beside me in the passenger seat while Nick drove, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. He hadn’t said much since we left the hospital, and neither had I. But it wasn’t the kind of silence I was used to. This one was heavy, thick with unspoken words that hung in the air like a weight on my chest.My mind raced, piecing together everything I’d overheard at the hospital. I paid attention to Ryan’s and Leon’s conversation, but I didn't grasp the whole thing that was said. But the parts I did hear were enough to unravel the rest. The way Leon spoke to Ryan, the icy calmness in his voice, the way Ryan had reacted to him. He was sure that Leon was the one behind it and Leon never denied it or accepted it. Leon had orchestrated Ryan’s accident.At first, I tried to tell myself I was wrong. Maybe I had misunderstood, maybe I didn’t hear things clearly. But the more I thought about it, the clearer it became. The way Leon had cho

    NAYAIt has been a while since the incident but it still doesn't seem to be going away. I am still shaken up. I would get flashbacks of the scenario and fear would grip me like I was relieving the whole thing. My nightmares weren't going away, instead, it felt more vivid and scary. Ryan was laughing psychotically in my dreams haunting me, no matter how I ran or how I begged it all ended the same way. It ended with him putting a bullet through my skull. I was scared of stepping outside the house, I have never tried to but the thought of it scared me.I tried all my best to hide everything from Leon so he wouldn't worry about me, which was almost impossible because he was breathing down my neck twenty-four-seven, watching and monitoring my every move like a hawk. Before I was done with my treatment he insisted on staying by my side every night and now I was done with it he still checks up on me in my room. If he noticed something was wrong with me he would just worry too much and I didn

    LEONI have got to learn multiple times that Naya is not someone to back down from a fight no matter how tough it could be. As admirable as that is, it is also worrisome but I have decided to just let it be, I guess the best I could do for her is to protect her. Which was something that scared the shit out of me.What if I'm not about to do it? I have already failed once what if it happens again?It was just a lot, the more I thought about the more nervous I get about the whole thing.I was surprised when she asked that we continue the therapy session, I didn't get how she was not out of bed yet. Her treatment was still ongoing but she cared about the session. I couldn't even tell if the ordeal hurt her or not. Other than the pain she talked about, she didn't talk about anything else almost as if she put this shield in front of her to cover up how she was feeling. I wanted her to be vulnerable with me but she cared more about trying to make me okay than herself and that got me worried

  • Married to the Disable Billionaire    Accident

    Ryan Everything with me seemed slow, I kept thinking and thinking of ways I could get back at Leon or even sabotage him before he came for me but there was nothing. He didn't have any business or property that I could mess with. He didn't care about his image with the press. The only thing was Naya, which I failed when I had a chance. Now his guard would be high and I wouldn't be able to get another chance. I'm sure my mother was waiting to hear some type of good news from me but I had nothing. No goddamn thing.I was angry thinking about it, I felt so powerless and I hated it so much. The worst of it was that I felt powerless against Leon. The number person I hated most in the whole fucking world. How was I being shaken up by a bastard?It should be that way around, not the way it was. But thanks to Father for making the son of a bitch feel included, now he was trying to contend with me.Growing up, I didn't get my father's attention and that messed with me. Leon proved himself to

    NAYAThe sharp ache in my body was impossible to ignore, but it was nothing compared to the weight pressing on my chest. I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, the faint scent of antiseptic in the air reminding me I was safe now. But the word “safe” felt hollow.Every inch of me hurt, my face throbbed, my wrists stung from the ropes that had bitten into my skin, and the bruises on my ribs made breathing a slow, painful chore. Yet through all of it, one thought refused to leave me. I couldn’t let this stop me.It had been the same routine for me every day, I ate, laid in bed all day, and slept. Leon was very strict with me, he didn't let me do any damn thing and I was tired of arguing with him.Leon sat by the window, his silhouette illuminated by the faint glow of the moonlight. His gaze was distant, his body tense as if he were bracing himself for another fight. The sight of him like that rigid, lost in thought made my chest ache differently.“Leon,” I called softly, my voice hoarse.

I looked around me and I was still in the room where I was being administered treatment. Leon was in his wheelchair dozing off.“Leon” I called“Huh” he jumped“Do you need anything?” he asked “No,” I said“Come lay down here, you will hurt your neck,” I told him“No I'm fine thank you,” he said“Come on” I whined before he agreedI tried to help him get off his chair but he refused “Don't worry I got it” he said then he got on the bed“Do you feel better?” he asked after a long awkward silence “Yes,” I said staring at the ceiling “Thank you” I whispered “I didn't do anything Naya,” he said with his voice lowHe did a lot. More than I could ever imagine “You-” I started to say then I turned to see he was fast asleep. He had a rough day.Even in his sleep, he looked disturbed, his brows furrowed together.

    RYAN I was in my office, the silence heavy around me. The usual buzz of phone calls and business meetings was gone, replaced by an unsettling stillness. I was used to chaos, but today felt different. It was as though the weight of my mistakes had finally caught up with me.I had spent the last few hours trying to calm myself, but all I could think about was how I had failed. Naya had slipped away again, and the cops had ruined everything. I had the perfect plan, but it was all for nothing. How could things go so wrong?The frustration built inside me, a seething pit of anger that I couldn't escape. I had underestimated Leon. And now, I had to face the consequences of my incompetence.As I stared out the window, trying to shake off the sinking feeling in my chest, I heard the soft click of my office door."Mr. Valois, you have a delivery," my secretary said, her voice tentative, as though she knew something was off.I didn't respond right away. I just glanced over my shoulder, irrit

I would only bring her more harm and she knew that trying to convince her was just like speaking to a wall she doesn't want to listen.Ryan threatened her to leave or die. They feel she is the reason why I decided to come out to the public eye. They think taking her away would make me return to my shell, as much as they were woefully wrong. I still couldn't let Naya stay around me, I just didn't want to press further before her body needed rest.Seeing her wounded and bruised broke me in many ways I never thought, I felt like ripping my heart out. It hurt so bad that I couldn't hold back my tears which felt very foreign even to me.I soft knock came on the door before it opened up slightly revealing Nick. He didn't say a word before I rolled out to meet him.“Did they find fingerprints on the gun?” I asked him. A gun was found on the scene which Nick carefully hid before the
