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?”
WinnieI was pacing back and forth, clenching my jaw harder and curling my fingers into fists. I was stupid, fucking stupid. What was I going to do with this baby? I stopped in front of the mirror and examined myself. Raising my hand I touched my flat tummy. “What am I gonna do with you?” I flinched, remembering my miscarriage. “I just can’t bring you into this nasty world even if I want to. It will be an injustice if I give you birth and am unable to fulfil all your wishes. I know I’ll be a cruel mother, baby but I'm helpless.” I fell on my knees and tried hard to hold back my tears. I couldn’t take it anymore. I wished I could take my life but I had to live for Ned. I had to fulfill his last wish. I must destroy Spraggins. I would destroy them. I couldn't forget my revenge. Grabbed my purse. I took out a pendant which was Ned's last memory. It was our last night and he had given me that beautiful pendant and told me it belonged to his mother. I looked at a green diamond that remind
