Siya RainsAs I wrapped up my class, I realized how distracted I was throughout it. I started teaching psychology at this well-known university three years ago. I was twenty-five years old when I had my first batch of students and I know as a teacher I am not supposed to have favourites but I did have one, Jimmy Miller. He was very smart and had recently got an internship at a recognized enterprise.But unfortunately things spiraled from there, the owner, Paul Scotts was actually a sadist, alcoholic asshole who liked beating people up for pleasure and that’s what he did to poor Jimmy. I felt tears welling in my eyes as I remembered his state when he visited me for help as he was poor. Bruises and cuts were all over his face as it was swollen red, it looked like someone ran him over with a truck.Poor boy.I heard a knock on my door which got me out of my daze, I wiped my tears quickly and turned my head around. My jaw dropped as I laid eyes on the most handsome man I’ve ever seen in m
Hey beautiful people, Just a warning. This book is an erotica, which means 18+, so if you are uncomfortable with sex and adult stuff, please don’t read my books. But if you are a nymphomaniac like me, go ahead ;) Also guys, for the better understanding of the stories, I’d also like to give you the order in which the books should be read: 1)Nathaniel Lachlan 2)Aaron Riverwood 3)Landon Chambers 4)Danika Williams 5)Mary Redferne PS this book is set up in the 1960s Mary Redferne I was in the car, tapping my foot restlessly as the driver drove inside the gates of a mansion of the guy I was about to marry in a few months. Yeah I know, crazy! I never thought that I’d settle for an arrange marriage but I didn’t mind it right now. I’ve been communicating with my fiancé for a long time now over letters. We met each other when we were kids and played together, but around the age of eleven, he moved schools. A few months ago, we started writing letters to each other and I really start
Mary RedferneI didn’t sleep well, firstly because I am not in my bed, and secondly, because that kiss messed me up. I couldn’t stop thinking about Joseph Lachlan.My mom is a big fan of his mother as she is one of the few women who smashed through the patriarchy and built a business for herself. My mother loves Joseph a lot too; she says he is a good person, which is a rare thing nowadays. Obviously, she never met them, but she reads a lot of articles about them.I don’t believe news articles because they always spread false news about me. One of the newspapers even gave me a nickname, ‘Wild Mary.’ Yeah, I know, very original.After my shower, I wore a very simplistic dress as my mother asked me to be decently dressed around my future in-laws. I can’t believe that I am actually listening to her. I never listen to people, but sadly, I am following the rules of society so I don’t end up offending someone by showing a little cleavage or my thighs.I was already mad at Joshua for his comm
Mary Redferne“So why did you decide to get married, if you don’t mind me asking?” He says in a low but audible tone as I stared at him shamelessly while he was driving.His arms, his biceps.Oh mama.I knew it was difficult for him to make a conversation, so I am going to help him out by talking a lot.“I got bored of random hookups, you know. Or relationships that were only physical and not very emotional. I don’t know why I just happen to meet guys that want sex. And because I have a reputation of being a party girl, some men just assume that I would be open to hookups and they can just have fun for one night and not call me again. As confident as I am, it’s still hurtful.” I pour my heart out for some reason. I hadn’t really talked about these things to anyone.I don’t like telling people what's bothering me or even showing slight vulnerability, but with Joseph, I felt like my secrets would be safe. He wouldn’t use me or anyone ever. He isn’t capable of such things. I paused when I
Mary Redferne“I am telling you! Joseph is ignoring me!” I say as I look at Judith, laying on my bed, flipping through trashy magazines. She came here last night after she learned that I was boring myself to death in this huge ass mansion.I had no one to entertain me or even talk to me. Joshua and I have had some surprisingly good conversations but he wasn’t there the way Joseph was. He wouldn’t make me his priority.I know that’s a lot to expect but I am his guest. It’s wrong to call me somewhere and then, talk on the telephone for 30-45 minutes because it’s ‘business’.I didn’t like a lot of things about Joshua. He was never on time, it was never his fault because he had a perfectly valid reason for everything, making me look like a person who doesn’t understand him. I haven’t felt an emotional connection with him. He seems a bit superficial and a person who lacks depth.Or maybe he just takes time to open up?“Are you sure?” Judith asks waving her hand in front of my face to bring
Mary RedferneI couldn’t sleep; my head was too consumed with the kiss and obviously the things that happened during dinner last night. I needed to talk to my father and call this thing off.I was obviously not attracted to Joshua, and even if I was, I can’t imagine getting married to a man who asks me to shut up when I am making a point. I can’t stand people with such narrow and shallow thinking, which is why the McKinnons being my in-laws is just not possible.When I told Judith about my decision, she hugged me. She was very happy for me because she hated Joshua the moment she met him. I can’t imagine her face when I tell her that I confronted Joseph and that we shared a heated kiss. I feel like I should talk about one thing at a time.I don’t want people to think that my decision to end things was influenced by Joseph at all. I took this decision to break things off the minute Joshua asked me to shut up. I mean I can expect shallow behavior from elderly men like Mr. McKinnon, but no
Mary RedferneI groaned as I buried my face in the couch, waiting for this havoc to envelop me. I was at Judith’s house, which thankfully my parents didn’t know about. I never bothered telling people where she lived because it is a good hideout place for me.I wasn’t nervous because I am a flight risk and I have disappeared a lot of times. It’s just that I really thought this time things would be different. Joshua would be different.I don’t enjoy being rash, but I have to do it. I just wanted everything to go back to normal. I feel like if I end up marrying Joshua, my life is drastically going to change. It’ll start off easy, but then he will make me do things around the house while he works, then I would get pregnant, and he will suggest that I look after our kids.Why do marriage and kids change a woman’s life so much?“Okay so where do you want to escape? Somewhere in this country or abroad?” Judith asks as she hangs up the telephone.“Umm, I don’t know. I think I should stop runni
Joseph Lachlan*Flashback*{A few hours before Joseph found Mary}“Uncle, you called me?” I ask as I peek my head into his office. I was working on one of the shipments when I got a call from Uncle Albert, and he asked me to come to his office right away. I rushed here in half an hour; I couldn’t think of a single thing he would like to talk to me about. Aunt Florence was the only one in the McKinnon family who I think genuinely liked me. Joshua had his moments, but he was family.“Yes, I did. I need your help,” he says as he motions me to take a seat in front of him. “This might not come as a surprise to you, but Mary started this fight with Joshua and then ran away without an explanation.”My heart stopped beating as I processed the information.“And from what I’ve heard, Mary is quite close to you. Joshua said you are like a loyal dog to her.” He laughs while I smile a little. Not liking what is being said, but I can’t speak up. “So I’d like you to get her back.”My eyes widen as I
