THIRD PERSONNoelle and Luther were lying on the bed. Luther’s one arm wrapped around Noelle as he was cuddling her and watching her peaceful expression. She smiled when she caught his intense stare and spoke out, “Your stares make me feel self-conscious.” “You don’t need to feel self-conscious, Noe. You’re the most beautiful woman in my eyes.” He kissed her shoulder, making her feel breathless. “I love you like hell.” “I love you.” Noelle smiled and kissed his lips. "Sometimes I can’t believe you were the same Luther who tried to rape me on our wedding night.” He laughed roughly. “I never raped women.” “But you were almost…” “I was so attractive to you that it took all my strength to keep my dick in my pants on the first day of our wedding. I was as angry as hell that time but I couldn’t make myself hurt you.” Luther tucked her hair behind her ear and kissed her cheek, making her blush. “I was so scared…” Noelle laughed while curving her abs with her fingers. “How could you for
“I have to plan something very big, Kris. He doesn’t want to become the father of my baby. I have to make him do something, otherwise, I will never succeed in my plan, ” I told my friend Kristen. Kristen watched me crossing her arms and glaring at me like she did not like my words. “I told you to be careful of that jerk. Now, he just abandoned you and your baby. He is not going to choose you over his brother Winnie. Why don’t you understand that? You’re too blind in revenge that you’re unable to see right or wrong. You’re well aware of their dirty deeds but still, you’re engaging them. Are you not afraid of them? To be honest, I am worried about you. I'm so worried about you, girl.” “I’m not afraid of them,” I smirked and grabbed a plate and put a fried egg into it. Sliding it to Kristen I took my seat next to her. She had just come to see if I was doing okay. But I have not been doing okay for a few weeks. I didn’t hear from Cassius for a week. He was not picking up my call or repl
Winnifred I was wearing a white dress that hugged every curve of my body. Checking my reflection in the mirror. I flipped my hair and smirked in triumph. “Finally I have succeeded.” “You’re an idiot,” Kristen said behind me with a worried expression. She was pacing back and forth restlessly as her hands buried in her hair. “You just fucked up, girl. You don’t know what you're putting yourself into.” “I’m getting married to Cassius Spraggins.” I smiled evilly and looked at her. “Am I looking beautiful?” “Girl…!” She sighed heavily. “You still have time. Stop it from happening.” “You know I can’t…” I snapped and headed out of the room. “We’re running late.” Grabbing white flowers I slid into the car. After a while, we reached a small church where Cassius was waiting for us, wearing a black suit and looking devilishly handsome. “Hey…” I smiled at him while standing in front of him.“Hey…” He forced out a smile, looking away. That's rude! The priest started reciting prayers and af
WinnieI was sitting near a window watching the city light from the room. It had been a week and Cassius had not shown up since our wedding night. I wondered if he would come or not. If he kept on ignoring me like that I would not be able to get in touch with Luther and Noelle. Biting into my lower lip I grabbed my phone and called Cassius. As usual, he picked it up in two rings and greeted me with loving words. “Hey, beautiful, what’s up?” His voice was cheerful and soothing. I liked it when he called me that. “I just had dinner. What about you?” I asked him. “I was in a meeting and heading home.” Home! That place was not his home. “Are you not coming over?” “Winnie,” he sighed and I heard the click of the car door in the background. “I’m busy now.” “It’s been a week. I miss you.” “I’m also missing you but I really have to sort things out first.” "What are things?" “I’d prefer not to talk about it,” he spoke sharply, making me frown. “That's fine, I guess.” I sighed and h
“Something is unusual about Cassius these days. Have you noticed it?” Noelle asked Luther who was sitting on the couch with Xavier in his lap, feeding him. “Like what?” Luther raised his brows in a questioning look and didn’t agree with his wife. “Um...” Noelle remembered her invitation to Cassius' dinner and how he didn't show up that day. She also remembered the night he disappeared in the middle of the night without informing her. He had never been like that before. “He missed this weekend's dinner with us.” Finally, Noelle let out.“He must have been busy,” Luther replied as he wiped the porridge from his son's mouth. Xavier looked up at his father and grinned widely. “Dada…” Xavier mumbled and Luther paused, listening to his baby. “What did you just say?” He said excitedly to Xavier. “Say it again.” “Da...da...” Xavier played with his father's face while throwing his hands at him. “Da…da…” “Noe!” Luther called out to his wife. “He just called me Dada.” As Noelle walked up
Winnie smirked when she listened to that news. Luther and Noelle were coming over. Oh my God! They were just coming to see her. She assumed Cassius had told them everything. He must have told them that he married her, and she was pregnant with his baby. Noelle’s face must be pleasurable to see. She felt joy rush inside her as she imagined Luther and Noelle’s shocked faces. They must be thinking about how Cassius did that to them. How could he betray them? He chose her over his shit family. Now, he told them the truth. He told them that she had become part of their family. “Um… Winnifred Spraggins. Nice to meet you, Noelle,” she said while pretending to shake Noelle’s hand while breaking into a laugh. She laughed, laughed, and laughed until tears gathered in her eyes and the very next moment she started crying. She sobbed harder, falling to the ground and clutching her tummy. She cried for her father, brother, and husband. “You’ll pay the consequences. You’ll pay for snatching my Ned,
“You can’t disown your brother, Luther,” Noelle said quietly while glancing at their son who was sleeping soundlessly next to their bed. “You know very well what he did to us but still you’re taking his side?” Luther said as quietly as he could but his fingers clenched into his fist as he was trying to contain his anger. He was mad at his brother and so badly wanted to punish him. Noelle might be acting like normal but deep down she had broken down after meeting Winniefred. “But he is your brother, Luther. He is the only member of your entire family you're left with. I know you fucking well how much it’s hurting you so please don’t pretend like nothing happened.” “You’re my family,” Luther snapped.“Don’t be the person you can't be, Luther.” Noelle pushed herself near him, cupping his face and staring into his painful eyes. “Please don’t do this. He loved her and married sooner or later. You'll have to accept that she has become a part of our family. We can’t refuse the truth and th
“She doesn’t like me,” Winnie said to Cassius who was sitting next to her on the couch. It was the last day of the year and they were watching a movie. She placed her hand on his while resting her head on his shoulder. “Say something, Cassius.” "Hmm..." Cassius stared at the screen absentmindedly. He was lost in his own world.“Say something.” “Everything is going to be okay.” He sighed heavily and looked at her, giving her a small smile that didn’t reach his eyes. “Don’t worry I’ll handle everything and I’ll try to talk to them.” “But they disowned you,” Winnie said quietly, looking into his sad eyes. Cassius was upset and he looked like he hadn’t slept for days. He had dark circles under his eyes, his skin looked lifeless, his hair messy and his suit disorganized. Seeing Cassius in that condition Winnie was feeling bad for him. She wanted to do something to make him feel better but she didn’t know what to do. “I’m sorry.” “They’re family, they can’t do that to me. They have no c
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
