Leo pulled up in front of a brown building that appeared to be abandoned. I climbed off, looking across the deserted street. I noticed that not a single bird was flying there. That place was strangely quiet and empty and it was giving me goosebumps all over my body. Leo stepped out. “It’s a beautiful place, isn’t it?” He taunted. I could feel a smirk in his voice. “There is no way to get out of here.” I kept my expression fixed and walked towards the building, ignoring his sneer. He walked up next to me and slid the security card along the slot. Once it was confirmed, the huge brown door slid open, revealing the granite floor and white walls. We stepped inside. I flinched when he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me into him. I wanted to stab my shoes in his as hard as I could. “Well…” a rough voice said from behind us. “You’ve finally got her in your arms.” I turned my gaze to that man. He was the same old man with gray hair and blue eyes. “She is indeed beautiful.” He la
FIVE MONTHS LATERI eyed myself in the mirror. I wore a white gown that was fitting me like a second skin and exposed my seven months baby bump. I caressed my rounded belly and smiled, overwhelmed with joy. In two months he will be here. I was excited to meet Xavier, our baby boy. He would be gorgeous like his father. Excitement raced through me when I imagined a little version of Luther. “You look gorgeous,” a deep voice said. I turned around to face Cassius, smiling shyly, blushing. “Don’t you think I’m growing bigger day by day?” His brown brows raised together as he stepped into my room and adjusted the yellow tie that he had worn for the ceremony. He looked handsome in a dark blue suit that matched his eye color. “He is Luther’s. It is obvious that he is growing bigger day by day.” “Sometimes I feel like he is going to be a footballer as he kicks me day and night.” Cassius broke into a laugh, shaking his head. “No way, Luther will ever allow his son to be a source of enterta
“Hey, handsome.” Cassius grinned and kissed Xavier’s chubby cheek. Xavier threw his little hands and grabbed Cassius’s hair. “You brat!” I smiled and walked over to them when Xavier didn’t loosen his grip on Cassius’s hair. I gently held his small hand and tore it away from his uncle. “Come here, leave your uncle.” Xavier squirmed and pouted. “You have little hair it doesn’t mean you’ll snatch off others.” Cassius poked his cheek with a finger. Xavier chuckled and flung himself in his uncle’s arms again. “Gosh, Xavi!” I scolded him softly and held him back to his place. “Do you have any plans for today?” Cassius asked while tickling Xavier and making him giggle. Sadness overtook me when I realized it was the day of our wedding anniversary and Xavier completed his ten months. I was upset since morning because I had not seen Luther and he had not even left a message before leaving. “Have you heard Luther?” I asked Cassius. He tore his eyes away from Xavier and looked at me, fro
It has been my dream to destroy the Spraggins family since they murdered my father, brother, and husband. I have thirsted for their blood since I saw my dying husband. The day he died in front of my eyes will never be forgotten. He was brutally murdered by his own sister. He just wanted to protect her from Luther Spraggins but what she did. She pulled the fucking trigger of the gun and killed her brother, my husband. She killed him. She killed Ned and snatched him away from me. I will kill her and her husband and her babies. I have vowed to wipe out the Luther family. *********Winnifred walked up to the window and looked at the beautiful sunset. Her first meeting with Ned was memorable. It was evening when she returned to college. He was the most gorgeous and charming guy she had ever met before. While waiting for her driver, she caught a beautiful young man's attention. She blushed and looked away. When Ned didn’t take his eyes off her she looked at him and gave him a hard look.
Third PersonLuther was putting on his suit jacket when Noelle appeared from behind with a smile on her face, somewhat sad. Luther smiled back and grabbed her by her arm before pulling her closer to his chest and pressing her soft body against his. He stared at her intently, caressing her bare shoulder. “This is not the time.” Noelle pushed him back. “You’re running late for a meeting.” He sighed, pressing his head against hers and breathing in her delicious smell. Her green eyes shone with something he didn't understand. “I can’t resist you, Noe,” He mumbled almost painfully, burying his long fingers into the soft strands of her hair. “I won’t take time, I promise.”“No, I need to feed Xavier. He is hungry.” Noelle pushed her husband gently and tried to remove herself from his arms. Luther groaned in irritation, running his fingers through his hair. “We hadn’t had sex for a week, Noe.” Noelle paused and looked at her husband with wide eyes. Her shocked face was replaced with a frow
Cassius I was driving Winnie home. She rested her head against the seat and her eyes were closed but I knew she was not asleep. She told me her address. It was a few miles away from the club. After a few minutes, I pulled over to Winnie's small house parking lot. It was a brownstone two-story house outside the city. Unbuckling my seat belt I opened the passenger seat door and unclipped Winnie’s seat belt. She was startled when I touched her arm gently. “Hey, are you okay?” I asked her. “Um…” She rubbed her temples. "I feel like I want to puke.” “Come out.” Rushing into the house Winnie barged into the bathroom before throwing up harder. She gasped, gripped her chest, and threw again. I stepped inside holding her hair gently, stroking her back. “Are you okay?” She nodded her head, panting. “Water.”I quickly poured her a glass of water and handed it to her. She drank, breathing deeply. “I’m not used to hard liquor.” She smiled nervously. “My head throbs like it could burst open a
Third Person Luther pulled his car into his villa parking lot and got out. He ran his fingers through his hair nervously and he looked at a bouquet of white roses he bought for his wife. Before heading to their room he visited Xavier who was sleeping peacefully. Luther smiled while wiping saliva from Xavier’s mouth as he mumbled something cute in his sleep. He wanted to carry him and shower him with kisses but didn't want to disturb his little boy. Leaning forward he kissed Xavier’s head and inhaled his scent. He smelled like Noelle. “Dad loves you, son,” he whispered, feeling guilty. He was not there for Xavier when he had a fever. He still remembered the day when Noelle called him and told him about Xavier’s condition but he couldn’t cancel his damn meeting. “I’m sorry. Dad will always love you no matter what.” He smiled sadly before he stood and walked away. Luther entered their room. Noelle slept with her arm on her side like she felt her husband there. A fresh wave of guilt wa
Winniefred“What happened to you?” Kristen asked me. I sighed heavily, clutching my stomach. “You look weak.” She touched my forehead to check my body temperature, but it was normal. “You’ve been throwing up since morning.” “I think I need to see a doctor,” I mumbled, standing up and washing my face. I turned to look at her. “I think I’m pregnant.” “Pregnant!?” She stared at me with wide eyes as her jaw dropped. “You must be kidding. How could you?" She sighed exasperatedly. “I mean how could you get pregnant?” “What does it mean? It was just an accident. There is no need to overreact, Kris." “I’m not overreacting, Winnie. I’m just worried about it.” “You're not worried, but disappointed in me. I saw it in your eyes." I snapped and hurried out of the bathroom. I wore an oversized hoodie with jeans. I tucked my messy hair into a ponytail before leaving my room. Kristen tried to catch my pace. I was annoyed at her. “Winnie, listen.” “I’m heading to the hospital. You wanna join?”
Ten years later...“Where are Edwin and Xavier?” Noelle asked Luther who hugged her from behind, kissing her shoulder. “I love your smell,” Luther groaned while inhaling her scent. “I love everything about you.”Noelle smiles while pouring batter on the griddle. “You still didn’t answer me. Where are Edwin and Xavier?” Luther sighed, turning me around and looking at me. “They went to town with their uncle.” He stepped up to her, staring down at her. “We need some time alone, don’t you think, baby?” A sinister smile played on his lips. “How about on the kitchen counter?” “I’m making pancakes for the kids," Noelle said, turning around. “They will be here at any moment.” “I instructed Cassius to spend as much time as he can with our kids.” “Luther…” Before Noelle could speak further Luther grabbed her ass and sat her on the kitchen counter. “Luther…” She tried to speak but Luther quit her with a kiss. They kissed hard, rough and fast. “I missed you…” Luther groaned before tearing h
Noelle gripped Xavier tightly. Tears filled her eyes as she glanced at her husband but he was nowhere in sight. “Where’s Luther?” she gasped, looking everywhere. “Where’s Luther?” She repeated in shock. Cassius and Winnie looked around them but he was nowhere to be found. “Oh my God! Where’s he?” Noelle broke into tears as her heart throbbed harder and harder under her chest. “Noelle…” Cassius grabbed her weak body sitting near a tree. “He’s gonna be fine.”“Is he…” Noelle swallowed hard, looking at their burning mansion. “Is he inside?" “No, he’s not inside the mansion. I saw him when we got out together,” Winnie said, taking place next to Noelle and squeezing her shoulder. “Luther!” Cassius called out his brother’s name, looking around the quiet forest. “Luther!” “Luther!” Winnie went in another direction, calling his name. Noelle looked at Xavier who seemed strangely silent, watching her mother with his big eyes. Noelle forced out a smile, caressing his small lips. “Daddy is f
Ethan rips Noelle’s clothes and makes her cry in dread. She threw her legs and arms to save herself but nothing worked out. “Now you’ll see who the real monster is…” He sneered before removing his clothes. Noelle squeezed her eyes, waiting for an opportunity. She pretends to be helpless as she throws her arms and legs at him. As she eyed the lamp on the nightstand, she grabbed it and slammed it against his head as hard as she could, causing him to scream in pain. Grasping his head, Ethan hissed out. “Bitch!” Before he could take action she banged it again on his head and kneed his balls hard. He fell on the floor, curling in pain and gripping his balls. “You…fucking bitch!” He spat. Noelle got off the bed, staring at him down. She grabbed her dress and put it on. She pulled out a knife from her hair before pointing it at Ethan. “Move!” She gritted out at him. “Do you think I’m scared of your toy?” Ethan laughed darkly, sitting back on the floor. Noelle clenched her jaw and slit
Noelle was moving ahead but then Luther called her, “Noelle!” She stopped, turning around. Luther rushed to her, grabbing her face and kissing her breathlessly. Noelle responded, smiling between their kisses. “I love you, Noelle.” “I know…” She mumbled, burning her fingers in his hair. “I love you so much, Noelle…” “I know, Luther.” “I love you more than anything…” “I know,” she breathed out. “You’re brave, no doubt.” Luther withdrew his mouth, gazing at her intently. “But I can’t risk your life.” He licked his lip, glancing at her mouth like he wanted to kiss her more. “Can I come with you?” “You’ll need to handle everything here,” Noelle said. “He is dangerous, Noelle…” “So are you, Luther? You’ll not let anything happen to me, I know. I trust you…I love you…” “Just remember one thing, we have two babies to look after…” Luther ran his fingers through his messy hair nervously, glancing at her tummy. “Just give up on your plan if you think things are getting out of han
“Sonofabitch!” Luther gritted out before releasing another shot. That time Ethan dodged and rolled to another side. He pointed his gun at Luther and shot repeatedly. Suddenly the entire living room was filled with bullets and screams. Cassius grabbed an opportunity as he took Winnie to the corner of the mansion. “There is a basement here that leads you to the forest. Noelle was waiting for you with Xavier. Just go there and let her know Luther is with me. She doesn’t have to worry about us.” “What if I betrayed you again?" Winnie asked him quietly. “You trust me?” “Just go, Winnie!” Cassius ordered her, scowling at her. “I’m doing this for my child, just for my child. If it is…” He pointed to her stomach. “Not inside you I would have killed you with my own hands.” Winnie turned away as she couldn't tolerate looking at him as he was showing such disdain for her. “I’m sorry,” she whispered to him before turning around and heading toward the basement. Cassius watched her leave wit
The particles of the gate blew through the air. Cassius quickly covered Noelle and Xavier’s bodies with his, bending down on the ground. “Fuck! They are here." He breathed out, glancing at the doorway. Winnie was nowhere in sight. “We need to get out of here.” Noelle looked at the mess in the living room. Slowly, men in black uniforms spread across the room with their guns. “They are many…” she whispered. “How do we get out of here?"“We don’t have time to think, let’s go now." They slowly crawled to the ground so that nobody could see them. Xavier was crying, but Cassius made him stop with his favorite stuffed toy. She walked downstairs, tiptoeing and covering their mouths with their hands. “Where are they?” A man demanded. “Don’t tell me you just tell them about your truth, bitch!” Cassius looked at the living room and saw Winnie just standing in front of a blonde man who was tall and sturdy. Cassius glanced at his men and counted them quickly, and there were around ten people st
Winnie tiptoed into the backyard where Ethan was waiting for her. He was in the same black suit and skull mask on his face. A sinister smile pulled across his lips when he saw Winnie coming out, scared. “I know you would do that for us my dear sister.” He moved toward her but Winnie backed away from him, shivering and sweating profusely. “Just don’t come close to me!” She warned him, clutching a blueprint against her chest. “Go away.” “If I don’t come near you, how will I get that blueprint, sister?” He slowly stepped towards her, making her heart race under her chest. “First you’ll listen to me carefully.” She swallowed hard, stepping back from him. “You won't burn the mansion.” “You know fucking well that I’ll not be interested in your damn chit chat,” he growled, getting impatient with her behaviour. “Now hand me that damn blueprint, bitch!” “I won’t…” She stuttered, making her way back into the house but he lunged at her and grabbed her hair, pulling her toward him. She screa
Winnie went into the bathroom before splashing cold water on her face and washing her neck. She bit into her lower lip to stop herself from breaking into a cry. She looked at herself in the mirror and at his fingerprints on her neck. She brushed it with her hand in irritation but she knew it would not go away. She rushed out and grabbed her makeup box before removing a concealer. She started to put it on her neck to hide marks. She glanced at the doorway checking out if Cassius was coming but he was nowhere in sight. She gave the last touch to her makeup, looking at herself in the mirror. Everything looked fine to her. She was about to move toward bed but then…“Fuck him! Fuck him!” Cassius barged inside and banged his fist on the wall, growling wildly like an injured animal. “He’s not ready to fucking listen to me. He just fucked up! I hate him! How could he do that!” Winnie watched her husband banging and thrashing his anger on walls, chairs and lastly on his cell phone. She would
“You’ll do what I’ll ask you to do, okay?” Luther said to Noelle. She gave him a nod and they walked out. “First I need to find out who was the person who was doing this to us. I swear, I won’t let go of him in one piece.” “You need to calm down, Luther. If you keep losing your shit you won’t be able to work out our plan,” Noelle lectured him which made him raise his eyebrows. “So let’s start the drama.” Luther winked at her which brought a little smile to her face. “What the hell is this, Luther? You just cheated on me, how dare you fucking bastard!” Noelle screamed while grabbing Luther by the collar and glaring at him. “You just cheated on me. How can you do this to me?" “What is happening here?” Cassius and Winnie got out of their room, looking at them in confusion. “Who cheated on who?" He asked, looking at Noelle and Luther.“He just cheated on me.” Noelle walked up to Cassius and showed him the video. “Do you know this woman?” Cassius said nothing and watched the video car
