“What if she does?” I asked with a parting smile.

“Luke think about, if you divorce Linda, it’ll be all the rage on the media and streets of Delroy. What do you think is going to happen then?” I started, but without waiting for him to respond, I quickly added.

“Here’s what will happen. Linda’s company will boost in sales and recognition because of her divorce, bringing in more revenue to her. In a way you’ll be doing her a favor.” I said, then heaved a deep sigh.

“Look, I know you find this terrifying, but can you really spend the rest of your life being married to a woman you don’t love? what if this is want she wants too?” I argued.

I know how this seems - bitter and vengeful, but these two deserved nothing but that. I was always an advocate for love until they made me change, so if I saw an opportunity to make them pay for what they did to me, then I was going to take it and would have no regrets in doing so.

Luke seemed thoughtful about what I had to say and a mischiev

    AnnaTrying to hide my excitement, I pulled out a pen from my bag and handed it to Luke. He shifted his gaze towards me once again, hesitating for a moment, then sighed and drew his signature across the document.I didn’t think it’d be that easy when I came here, but just like that, I had Luke’s signature. My plan was finally afoot. What Linda or Rita anticipated was that I wasn’t the same girl they knew. I was deeply connected now and was going to fuck them over with this deal.After Linda gave me the divorce papers, I already knew what I was going to do. It wasn’t that hard to make adjustments to a legal document. All I had to do was to change the prenuptial agreement and make it so that the couple had agreed to transfer all their assets and wealth to a certain Anna Brookes, and having already signed her signature, all I needed to make this legally binding was Luke’s signature and he had just blindly signed the signature now, ensuring that everything they owned was now mine.I could

    Anna“C’mon you must have suspected it,” Jack said with an indifferent look.“I grew up in a Serbian family who did nothing but take care of the problems no one else wanted to. My father raised me himself to be a cold-blooded killer and when he sent me away to boarding school, things got worse. The other families decided to go after my family because they heard I was away and they managed to abduct my sister.”“Sheila?” I muttered, still shaking in my boots.Shaking his head, Jack walked towards where Luke was hiding and immediately the man saw him approaching, he took off and started running as fast as he could. Jack pulled out his gun and aimed it in Luke’s direction, and fired. I closed my eyes when he pulled the trigger and only knew he hit his target when I heard Luke’s distant scream.Shock and fear flowed through my body like a raging river. Not only had he killed people, but he was also ruthless in doing so, and to top it off, an assassin. One that was bred to do the kind of

    Anna“I’m sorry that I’m finding it hard to process all of this!”I yelled at him, throwing my hands in the air as I quickly turned around towards my car, and then suddenly stopped.“It’s hard to process everything when you’re acting the way that you are. You can’t even have a normal conversation about this, instead, you’re acting out when all I did was react the same way anybody would.”“But you’re not anybody, Anna. It’s you, what you think and feel about me matters a lot more than you know.” Jack hastened towards me and grabbed my hand, turning me around towards him. The look on his face was unrecognizable. He wasn’t angry, at least he didn’t look angry. But what was there was remorse and sadness and maybe a little guilt.“I’m sorry, Anna.” He said softly as his eyes cast to the floor. “You’re right. I shouldn’t have acted that way. I just don’t want to relive my past constantly and I don’t want people, especially you to think that my past defines who I am now.”“Jack, you of all p

    Anna“You don’t know? Your boyfriend is in a deep bind. His family is the only thing standing in the way of George’s business in the city. Mark has been proving stubborn, so George has decided to encourage him into getting what he wants.” Luke replied.“What the hell are you talking about? What does George want?” I replied, even more confused. Luke broke out laughing which only triggered me more. “I don’t know, but one thing I’m sure of is that George is not working alone. One way or the other, he’s going to get what he wants.”I wanted to wipe that smug expression from his face and almost as if Jack could read my thoughts, he hastened towards us and with no hesitation swung the gun, hitting Luke on the head and knocking him out.“This is not happening,” I muttered, walking around frantically. “Calm down, Anna. I’m sure Mark is fine.” “What if he’s not? I haven’t heard from him in a while. This whole time, he could have been in danger and I didn’t even call him to check up on him.

    Sheila Seeing Anna in that situation forced me to realize I needed to do something I didn’t think I was yet ready for. But it was just as much of my duty to keep her safe. It’s been four years and I still dreaded my return. I have to admit going back to ask for his help will take a lot considering I didn’t leave on such good terms to start with, but he was the only person I knew I could get information about George from.Until now, George had not been any person of interest to me. For all I cared he was just another unsatisfied corporate mogul that desperately wanted power.I’d come across several of them on some missions. These types of people were usually so arrogant and filled with a false sense of delusion into thinking they were untouchable, but every single one of them I’d met, realized how powerless they were when they met the face of my gun.George had damned himself with the same fate when he decided to go after Anna. Anna and Jack took Luke to the hospital, but I had to ma

    Sheila“It must have taken a lot for you to come back here, but I’m afraid all you have done is just wast your time and journey. No one in this family will ever help you after the chaos you and your brother caused. Especially not me.” Blake said with a coarse voice and turned to walk away.“Are you serious?” I retorted, my chest rising and falling in anger.“The chaos we caused?” I repeated his words in disbelief.“You think any of this was our fault?” I asked, unable to comprehend or accept what he was saying, anger surging within me at that moment.Blake suddenly stopped and turned towards me, dumbfounded, folding his arms above his chest, his gaze filled with discontentment.“You think I wanted to leave my family and home behind? Including everyone I loved around here? We didn’t have a choice! You made sure of that when you decided to turn us into monsters, into your little personal suicide squad.”“I didn’t turn you into killers, I made you strong!” Blake shot back, storming his f

    SheilaI stood frozen as soon as I heard her voice. It sounded just as I’ve always known and I couldn’t bring myself to face her again. “Sheila…” she called again, her footsteps echoing in the distance as she drew closer to me. I knew I’d have to see her when I came here, but never really anticipated how I would feel or anticipated the heavy emotions that would laden my heart.Four years should have been time enough to forgive me for how I left things with her, but here I was, still struck by guilt over the things I said, and the things I didn’t get to.Slowly, I garnered my courage and turned towards her, my heart slowed to a beat, afraid of the way she might look at me.But without saying a word, Samantha continued towards me and then threw her arms around me, “I can’t believe it’s you.

I didn’t expect the man to help, or to even know anything about George Logan.“What do you know about George?” I asked, raising my brows in curiosity, but Blake was never one to talk too much. He turned and was about to walk away when I suddenly grabbed his hand, stopping him in his tracks,“What do you know Dad?” I repeated firmly.Heaving a deep sigh, he turned towards me, “I think, I can show you more than I can tell you.” He uttered, pulling back his arm and just walking away.I hesitated for a few moments and then followed him. We took the staircase down to the basement and Blake stopped at the door, casting me a look that made me anxious about what he was going to show me.“Are you sure you want to see this?” He asked, and for a moment, I could see a trace of concern on his face.“If it will help me find George, then I want to see it,” I replied boldly.

    The day of reckoning had arrived. In a few minutes now, Anna and her troop will be taking Edgar and his men by surprise. The stage had been set with everyone working together to end Edgar’s tyranny.Under the cover of the night, Anna, Mark, Jack, and their allies positioned themselves near Edgar’s main hideout. Zach had fed them crucial information about the hideout's layout and where Edgar and George would likely be during the operation. Armed and ready, they moved swiftly, slipping through shadows and avoiding detection.As they closed in, Anna felt a mix of fear and exhilaration. She knew this confrontation would determine everything—her role in The Circle, her fate, and Mark’s future with his family. She glanced at him, catching his gaze, and a silent understanding passed between them. Finally, they reached the inner sanctum, silently taking down Edgar’s security guards, until they reached where Edgar and George were having a conversation. The two men looked surprised but quickly

    As Mark prepared to find his brother, Zach, he couldn’t help but feel a mixture of fear and hope. Although he had agreed to work with Anna, he wasn’t convinced she understood just how deep the roots of The Circle ran or how much any of this had affected him. However, seeing how resolved she was to take down Edgar had swayed him, and he knew that, for his brother’s sake, he had to give her plan a chance.Meanwhile, after Anna walked out of the room, she now decided to contact Jack. As soon as he picked up, she explained her suspicions about The Circle and how their influence might reach farther than even she had initially thought, informing him that she needed him now more than ever. A few hours passed and Mark arrived at a small, dimly lit bar where Zach was known to spend his evenings. Immediately he walked in, he spotted Zach sitting at the far end of the bar, looking troubled. Mark approached him slowly, and as soon as he sat down, he placed a firm hand on his brother's shoulder.

    Author’s POV“So you’re telling me that you are not just a part of an evil organization that has been around for years, but you are also the head?” Mark asked, staring at Anna in disbelief. “I know this is difficult to process, but it is the truth. But we are not all like Edgar.” Anna said.“Right…” Mark scoffed.“No, I mean it. We don’t all want the same thing. The Circle has been in operation for years, working to maintain the balance and smooth operation of the surface world. Edgar and his associates are the only ones with the ideals that things need to change, and that for some reason they are the ones to affect that change. That’s why we are fighting them. We are trying to retain order and balance in this world.”“And how do you do that, huh?”“Tell me, Anna, does it involve letting the people up here decide for their lives or does your organization plan out the course of their lives?” Mark asked with a pruning look.“I don’t know about that, I’ve not been a member for long.” A

    Author’s POV“What?” Mark recoiled in shock.“Who could have done that?” Anna hesitated for some moments, afraid of how he would take the news. “Tell me, Anna.” He demanded.“Zach!” Anna blurted. “Your brother Zach did.”Mark staggered for some time, trying to process what I had just said. “Are you serious?” He asked, still in disbelief.“I am,” Anna said softly. Mark remained frozen in place for some time, deep in contemplation. I could imagine how difficult this was for him to hear. Zach was a lot and had caused a lot of problems, but at the end of the day, he was still his brother. “I can’t believe this,” Mark muttered and immediately started searching through his drawers.“What are you doing?” Anna asked, to no reply.“What are you doing Mark?” She asked again. “What does it look like I’m doing?” Mark snapped irritably.“I’m going down to have a conversation with my brother and give him the chance to explain how he almost got me killed.” He raged and grabbed his car key.Ann

    Author’s POVThose words filled Anna with a sudden dread. She hoped that somehow Mark would not ask her that because she still wasn’t sure who the father of her children truly was. There was that stranger from that night, and then there was Luke. For all she knows, it could have been either of them.Seeing how hesitant she was, Mark asked again,“Is the father still in the picture Anna? What happened with him?” At that point, Anna quickly turned around, “He’s not in the picture and that’s all that I can say. I don’t really like to talk about him.” She said, her heart beating out of her chest.Much to her surprise, Mark did not ask anything concerning him again. He waited for some time and then his lips curved into a smile,“I’d like to meet them.” As soon as she heard these words, Anna’s eyes widened in shock.“I’m sorry. You want to meet…”“Your children,” Mark interjected. “Is that okay with you?” He added.Anna remained frozen for some moments, her thoughts running wild. This w

    Author’s POVUpon hearing that, Mark’s face reddened with humiliation. He didn’t think she would figure it out, but she was right, he was afraid. After Lydia died in that car accident, Mark had spent his entire life afraid of being abandoned, and that fear resurfaced when he learned of Anna’s children.“No Anna, the issue here is that you could not trust me. I’ve already been down that road once with Mia, and I don’t want to be in another relationship where my girlfriend is keeping secrets from me.” He argued.As much as he had a point, Anna was still not convinced. She knew Mark was trying to change the course of their conversation and she would not let him.She shot him a soft gaze and slowly walked toward him, “I know it’s not easy to admit Mark, and I know that I shouldn’t have kept this away from you for so long, but I am afraid too.” Anna said and Mark’s eyes shot up with curiosity.Anna heaved a deep sigh and continued, “When I first came into town, I didn’t know what I was goi

    Anna“Who’s there?” Mark’s voice sounded through the door.I hesitated to answer. One word from me and he’d be calling the guards to throw me out, or at least that’s what I thought, so I knocked again and waited a while for his answer. This time he did not bother to say anything, and after waiting for a while, I knocked again.“I already told you, Rita, I don’t need anything!” His voice echoed in annoyance as he approached the door, and unlocked it.As soon as his gaze met mine, he froze in shock for some moment, unable to find the words to say anything.“Anna?”“Wh-what are you doing here?” Mark asked, and immediately his brows creased into a deep frown.“Mark, I just want to talk…” I started to say, but he rudely cut me off.“I don’t have anything to say to you.” He replied coldly and tried to close the door, but I quickly put my feet through the doorframe, stopping him.He shot one look at me and sighed heavily, turned his back, and walked inside the room, leaving me at the door.

  • My Billionaire Wife is a Contracted Maid   Selfish

    Anna“You want my advice? Go for it.” I said, encouraging Jack. Deep down I knew it was a selfish act. As much as I hoped that he’d find love somewhere else, a part of me wanted to believe what it told him about Anna, that deep down she did not still harbor any feelings toward Mark. I’d hate to be in competition with my sister over a man we both wanted. Jack seemed flustered when I said that. I could tell he hoped that no one would spot his feelings toward Chloe, especially not the girl he was just trying to get over.Still, he managed to keep his composure and quickly tried to change the focus,“You should try taking your own advice with Mark. I know I’ve not always made your relationship with him easy, and I apologize for the part I played in that. But whatever this thing is between you and Mark, it’ll be a shame if you both fall out.” He said.“Jack, what happened between Mark and I is not because of you. He just couldn’t stand the honesty he wanted.” I said, pushing the bangs on

    “Mark and I used to date.” The words echoed in my head like I was reliving a nightmare. I froze in shock, not sure what to say or how to even react. Deep down, I couldn’t help but dismiss the thought that this was the relationship Chloe and Mark shared, but I always tried to convince myself it wasn’t anything like that. Mark never talked a lot about her even after we met at that party, and I just assumed there was nothing much to say about an old friend.Now I see I was just trying to keep my thoughts away from a fear I didn’t want to have to face.However, I couldn’t understand why Chloe chose to tell me at this point and why Mark never said anything. Was he hiding something about their relationship? I didn’t know Chloe was my sister then, and I’m sure he didn't know either. Certainly, I wouldn’t have minded much about a girl he dated in the past, and at this point, I was convinced he was hiding something.As much as it should have felt good that I now had something to call him out
