NAYA

It 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.

    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

    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

  • Married to the Disable Billionaire    Birthday

    NAYAAll I always wished for was to be loved and cared for, it was my birthday once again but that wish never seems to be coming to pass. As I rubbed the surface of a tabletop lazily with my eyes fixated on a girl blowing out a candle and smiling from ear to ear. A pang of jealousy washed through me as I watched her, it was my birthday too but there I was wiping spilled drinks off a table.My life was more pathetic than it sounded most times I just wanted everything to end so I could feel free but I never got the courage to make the move, you could call me a coward.My eyes met with the girl sitting across the birthday girl making my cheek turn red in embarrassment she probably thought I was weird for staring like that, I quickly took my eyes away and focused on cleaning the invisible stain on the table“How long would it take you to clean that table they are customers waiting!” I heard my manager snap at meI lowered my head in shame and walked over to the counter to continue giving

    Everyone including Kayla was present at the dining table, as I walked in slowly all I could hear was the clattering of cutlery on the glass dishes. Of course, they started dinner without me “Hello” I muttered under my breath waiting for the outlash that was coming “You are late” Mom snapped as I was about to take my sit making me freeze halfway “I’m sorry I-” “That is all you know how to do, you are always fucking sorry” she spat in my face before I could complete my sentence My blood boiled in anger as I watched Kayla giggle as I was been scolded at “That’s enough,” Dad said, not raising his head off his plate. I quietly sat down and dinner just carried on, I couldn’t bring myself to take a bite of the food in front of me. My heart was thumping so loud anxiously waiting to hear the reason I was summoned. “So,” Dad said dabbing the corner of his mouth, I immediately sat upright as his cold gaze landed on me, my throat immediately drying up as I waited to hear what he had to

    I sat still at the dinner table. Mom kept on fixing my hair and dress repeatedly, I wanted to bolt out of that room with the speed of light but I felt trapped like I couldn't move a muscle. Everything was happening too fast, the more I thought about the more it didn't make sense to me.How did I get here? I was given no choice. Was this how I would throw my life away?They made it clear to me that if I didn't get married as it was said, Nyla wouldn't get the money she needed for her major surgery. The money they promised to pay now all of a sudden, it was an exchange, they knew I wouldn't have a choice but to agree to it and they were right. I didn't have a choice.I didn't have a say in anything that was going on, I was about to be shipped off to a man I knew nothing about. If we were left at the orphanage maybe just maybe my life would have been slightly better than this, maybe I would be happy. I couldn't answer that but one thing was sure whatever would have been the outcome of

    The night was long and I couldn't seem to catch any sleep, I kept tossing and turning to no avail. I spent half of the night trying to find out who might be the person I was to get married to, with my research I found out that the man who came was the acting CEO of Valois Group, and the woman that was with him was his mother just as I thought.If he wasn’t the one I was to marry, who was it then? Part of me wanted to go ask Kayla. She knew exactly who the person was but she didn’t want to let me in on it.I decided to get out of the house, it was suffocating. I needed air, and being in that house made me feel trapped, I tiptoed down the stairs to sneak out of the house without being seen by anyone just to avoid unnecessary questions.Or should I run away? A question popped into my head as I went down but the issue with that was that I still needed them no matter how I hated it, it was the wicked truth. Nyla needed to get that surgery “And where would you be heading to by this time?”

    Another day another dress-up, this one was way more exhausting than the other one. Mom put me in an uncomfortable dress that I could barely move in, it hugged every inch of my body barely giving me room to breathe. She insisted on putting my hair in a bun which I wasn't comfortable with but couldn't argue, I hated having my hair up it made my neck feel like they were exposed.It was the day I was to meet my husband to be apparently, I had gone through the family tree of the Valois and I still couldn't guess who it would be. Every part of me was nervous and anxious at the same time. I expected Mom to confront me about speaking back to Dad or being rude to him like she would love to call it but she didn't. I guess she didn't want anything to spoil the very important day.“We have to start going we can't keep them waiting!!” Dad shouted from downstairs“We would be down in a minute,” Mom said choking me with the hair spray for the thousandth time“Mom you need to help me do my hair,” Kay

    “Leon Valois nice to meet you,” Dad said without moving a muscle, unlike how he bowed to Ryan he didn’t bat an eyelid for the man in the wheelchair he stared at him right in his eyes and that spoke volume. They might be brothers but of different status“Let’s get straight to it,” Leon said with his jaw clenched, his eyes landed on me and I almost melted away. He had the same cold green eyes as Ryan but he looked like they were dead, it held so much darkness that made me squirm in my seat.“Where are your manners, won't you say hello to the guests?” Jennifer said“I didn’t come here to exchange pleasantries” Leon shut back glaring at her, Jennifer turned red like she was trying to hold herself back from an outburstWhy was he rude to his mother? I asked myselfMaybe he really hated the fact that he was to get married “Is she the one?” He asked his cold eyes glued on mine“Yes she is, say hello to your husband to be Naya” Mom said poking my sides“Hello,” I said in an almost whisper“S

    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.

    NAYAI woke up panicked after having another nightmare, it felt so real that I was sweating profusely when I got up, it was intense. 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. My hands reached out to his face and smoothe

    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
