"Are you not kidding?" Travis asked, his deep voice laced with disbelief. "You want to get married... today?" Alice's eyes sparkled with mischief as she nodded enthusiastically.

Will Alice's thirst for revenge consume her, or will she find love and redemption in the arms of Travis? Dive into this twisted tale of love, lies, and revenge to find out.
View MoreTravis let out a deep sigh as he watched his uncle slam the door shut. The sound echoed through the office, a stark reminder of the tension between them. This had been his aim ever since he was a child – to take control of the company and prove himself as a worthy leader. He wouldn't let his uncle undermine his authority again.As he turned to face the couch, his gaze fell upon his greatest weakness – Alice, peacefully asleep. A surge of affection washed over him, and he felt his heart swell with love. He would do anything for her, lay down his life to protect hers. The thought sent a shiver down his spine.Travis pushed himself up from his wheelchair and began to make his way to the air conditioner, ensuring it wasn't too cold for Alice. As he approached her, he couldn't help but smile at her awkward sleeping position. She was on her side, her neck twisted at an odd angle, and drool trickling down her chin as she let out soft, cute snores. She looked adorable, and Travis's heart melt
The air was quiet as Grant's obnoxious vice played from the pen. “Satisfied?” Alice asked, crossing her arms over her chest. “I'm sorry I doubted you,” Travis said turning away from her eyes. “Apology not accepted. I'll see you at home. I have some things to do.” She said leaving the office. “Alice wait. Please wait.” He wheels away from the desk, grabbing her hand. “You're defeating the whole purpose of me coming here. You've seen what you want to see. Please allow me go.” Alice was angry that he had so little trust in her. If she hadn't rerecorded the conversation, he would've thought she cheated on him.“I'm sorry. My behavior was irrational and inexcusable. Please forgive me.”“If I hadn't recorded the conversation, you would've thought that I cheated on you. You would've just left me without even giving me a chance and jumped to conclusions.” She leveled him a cold hard stare. “No. I would've believed you. I was just blinded by jealousy. I would've believed everything you s
Travis looked at his phone befuddled at seeing the video of his wife and that boy. In the picture, he gazed at her lovingly as his hands covered her wait ways and she looked up at him with hooded eyes. Was she cheating on him? Was everything she said a lie? Didn't she love him?Travis gritted his teeth as he looked at the picture. But she had told him that she would be with him. She had married him. Why was she now with some other guy locked in an intimate position?He had to find out what was going on. He had to find out the truth. Why was she looking at him with such passion and why wasn't she pushing him away. His heart clenched as he looked at the picture. He dialed her number. His heart in his throat as he waited for her to pick up. “Hello husband.” Alice's soft milky voice came up from his phone. His heart clenched at the name. Was she with some other guy as she made the call? Was she also locked in his fearless embrace?“Where are you?” He asked angrily. “I'm in school.
Alice looked at him for a minute before finally bursting into laughter. She looked at him and laughed, then stopped, then looked at him again and started laughing. It made him feel very awkward and uncomfortable. “What's so funny?” He asked haughtily. “This delusion you're in that everyone is in love with you. Th fact you're not even joking makes it even more funnier. What are you going to say next? That I do voodoo and I've probably enchanted you as you bumped into me?” She asked, laugh bubbling out of her. “That's not far from impossible.” He grumbled. She burst into even more laughter. “Stop laughing.” He said angrily. “Please,I am not the least interested in you. I have a whole man and he's better than you in every manner and way but maybe, just maybe you'd him in your dreams.” Lee couldn't believe she said that. The only man that was better than him in his opinion was his uncle and he was going to surpass him soon enough. “There's only one man on this ea
Chapter 10“What?” Octavia's mother stood up in outrage. Travis sat unaffected like he didn't hear her outburst. “How dare you say such a thing to your elder? These youngsters these days have no respect humph! You want me to bow to you. For what?” “I didn't say that. You did.”“You're talking to your mother-in-law in such a manner.”“My mother-in-law is dead.”“Umm, Brother, you don't have to talk like that. If you want someone to bow to you. 'll do it for my mother.” Octavia said, fake tears brimming in her eyes. “This isn't a theatre performance Octavia. There are no hidden cameras so you can stop the acting now and take off that cast. We know your hand isn't broken. Octavia stood awkwardly looking at her mother for help. “Don't speak to my daughter in such a manner, and you,” She said, pointing at Alice. “You sit there unbothered and watch as this man insults your family.”Alice glared at her, standing to meet her. “You say they're unbothered as your daughter accused me of a
Chapter 9Alice peeled her eyes open as he stared up at the plastered ceiling. What had happened yesterday?How could she even face him this morning?She tried moving away when she noticed a steely arm wrapped around her waist.“Stay still.” A deep voice said behind her.“I- I um need to use the bathroom.” She said hurriedly trying to twist herself away from him.“No you don't. You're just trying to get away from me.”“Well…”“Well nothing. Now stay with me and sleep.”“I have lectures. I need to prepare for school.”“I could just buy it for you. You don't have to go to school anymore. You'll graduate with distinction and a happier mind.” He said, snuggling into h
Honeymoon?”“Yes duh. Now we're married as you know married couples don't just kiss. They also-” Travis covered her mouth with one of his hands, looking at her in annoyance. “You can't just say things like that.” He said, looking at her mildly annoyed. “Say things like what?” She looked up at him with innocent eyes, her tongue peeking out to lick his finger. He gasped loudly, pulling away his hands.Alice giggled moving closer to him. “Let's go home then.”Travis’s heart warmed at that. Home. It really felt good to hear her say that. “Yes. Let us go home.”They headed home, stopping at the gate of the biggest mansion Alice had ever seen in her two lives. She had been here before. A few times and she snuck out to be with Grant and then he caught her and locked her in. They entered in. She looked at the ever familiar decor. Teara brimming in her eyes. Travis noticed her weird demeanor. “Are you okay?” He asked her worriedly. “I am. I am just very happy that we're finally happ
Chapter 7Just day one and she had been called a bitch,more times than she could count. “Here we go again.” She rolled her eyes turning to see who was the name caller this time. She looked up at an angry handsome male. “Hello.”He looked at her gobsmacked, confused at the calm greeting. “You pushed Octavia and you broke her arm.” He huffed abgeuly looking at her with such rage. If eyes could kill. She’d already be dead by now. “Okay and?” Alice paused, taking a sip of her cappuccino. He looked ready to explode at her behavior. “You're going to apologize to her or You're going to face very dire consequences.”“Sorry, who are you?”“I am Fredrick Cuniñ. A computer science major and Octavia is my girl.” The boy huffed. Oh, That's why he looked familiar. Fredrick as one of her fan boys but he wasn't just a fan boy, He and Octavia kind of dated for a while in secret because she was a ‘private person’ and then she left him when his family buisness bankrupted. She was obviously with
Grant’s handsome face twisted to an ugly frown. “Alice, What are you saying? First you look different and you're showing off my property. Your beautiful face to those other men and now you're saying you want to end things with me?”Alice rolled her eyes at his sexist comment. “Yes, your ears That's good. I want to end things with you. We are not affiliated in any way. I don't want my fiance to get the wrong idea about us so stay away from me.” She said moving away from the garden. “You can't just walk away from me.” He growled as he pulled her hand back. Alice paused looking down at his hand grasping her arm tightly and his red angry face. “Get your filthy hands off me immediately.” She said with strange calm. Grant immediately let her go. Something was different about Alice. She had changed, he could see it in her eyes. “Alice, Is he hurting you? Is he threatening you some kind of way? I swear if he is-”“Shut up.” She said holding her hand up. “Don't pretend to play Prince Char
Chapter 1“Look at her, she's a pathetic little wench.”The sounds of clinking chains and taunting laughter could be heard in the underground cell.“Do you want some water?” Octavia said, holding out a bottle of unknown liquid to a wrinkly smelly person in the corner. The person sat helpless, unable to move to collect the liquid. “Come on. I know you can move even just a bit. Come and take the water or are you not that thirsty?”Alice tried her best to move from her curled up position. She was half conscious, all pulpy and bruised up and she was being held captive in an underground dirty cell. Her stepsister was the sweetest person she had ever known or so she thought. She was the one who put her in such a miserable position. They wanted to see her suffer. They didn't kill her but broke her piece by piece each day. “Please… Please just let me go. Anything you want from me. Take it. Just let me go.” Alice said, her skin black and bruised. Tears pooling in her eyes. Octavia moved a...
