*LORENZO*"There is no going back, Snow, so sign it." I snapped when I noticed her hesitating.What I passed to her is a starter set of marriage documents—yes, you heard me, marriage documents.I don't want to feel like I'm abusing someone's child, so I feel like this is the best way and the best deal.A starter marriage is when both parties agree to be in something like a marriage but not actually a covenant marriage.We can act and do things like a couple, but after a certain period of time, both parties might decide to actually get married properly or separate; let's just say, it's like friends with benefits."But this isn't necessary, sir!" She countered, and I glared at her."What do you take me for? Freelance? You want something from me, and I demand something in return, so it's a fair deal." I made it known."You no longer have a choice; I warned you before. There's no backing out when you agree to sign this damn thing, plus it's only for a year." I ordered her and watched her
*Ella POV*I climbed down from my flashy sport car and adjusted my body-fitted halter dress before walking into the Flim house.It's weekend, and this is the time we normally shoot the erotica live video for our audience.Walking in, I saw all my co-workers seated, and they all greeted me with a warm smile, including director Ryan."If not for the fact that you are my boss, I would have deducted from your salary." Ryan playful scolded me, and I gave him a pouting face."Sorry for keeping you all waiting; my husband was being clingy this morning." I smiled, and they nodded in understanding."She looks okay," I commented as I studied the new lady who had joined the family.'Spicy it, Do It.' is the name of our erotica show, and we aren't just sex hungry people who just have our way with one another and act like we are aliens; we act, behave, and bond like a real family."Welcome to the family, Miss Flower," I said to her with a warm smile."Thank you, ma!" She gave a slight bow.Seated
*SNOW POV*"Ooohhoo!" I yawned loudly and slipped out of bed. I checked the wall clock and saw that it was 7.am on Sunday morning, but unfortunately, I haven't looked for a suitable church since I came to Atlanta. I hope my mom will forgive me for that.I walked out of the guest room that I slept in, heading to the living room. There's no doubt that Mr. Lorenzo is fifth-rich."Good morning, Miss!" I was greeted by several domestic staff members who were busy cleaning up the house."Morning!" I replied with a polite smile before going to get a cup of coffee for myself.Entering the kitchen, the smell of fried eggs filled my nostrils, causing my stomach to grunt in need.I ignored my hunger and walked back to my room after having the coffee because I didn't want to be a gold digger who would be the first to eat when the master of the house was still sleeping."Bang!" The door of Mr. Lorenzo's room was pulled open and immediately closed.Thinking it was him, I came out of the room only t
*SNOW POV*I rushed out of the shuttle bus that took me to the institution.Today our schedule was shifted, so I will be having my sport practical today.I race to the dressing room and put on my sportswear before joining my fellow team members on the field.Ella has already informed me that she won't be in school today, but I don't know about the boys. Speaking of the devils, I found one waving out at me."Hi Snow!""Hi Jace, it's good to see you. How was your weekend?" I beamed a smile, and he hugged him. In return, and to top it all off, he pecked me on my forehead."It went fantabulously! Can I ask you for a favor?" He inquired with a puppy look."Sure, anything for my dear friend?" I teased, and he grinned mischievously."Okay, I have a party tonight to attend, and I need a date." I froze as he dropped the bomb."Fuck not again! I'm still trying to bail myself out of Chris birthday party that is coming up this weekend, and now another invitation!" I screamed in my head, feeling f
*SNOW POV*I spilled the juice on my body due to Jace's message, which shocked me to the core."The audacity of this guy!" I mumbled in bewilderment. He just texted me the dress code for the party, and guess what? It's bikini!How the hell am I supposed to wear such a thing to a party?I picked up the phone and dialed his number, but it didn't connect. "Damnit!" I cursed and placed the phone on my kitchen counter.I brought out some cooking ingredients from the fridge so that I could make something to eat before evening.After freshening up for the day, I cooked my favorite Jollof spaghetti and beef salad."Yes!" I answered surprisedly. I wasn't expecting anyone, so who must have been knocking at my door then?I opened the door with a little bit of hesitation, and as I opened it, the figure of a blonde, hot, handsome guy could be seen."Hi neighbor," came his thick American accent, accompanied by a cute smile."Hm-yeah-oh-hey!" I slurred my words. I was slightly taken aback.He was lo
*Snow POV*"Hold on!" I shouted loudly at whomever was knocking on my door."Oooh!" I yawned and stretched out my arms wide before giving my body a little stretching to awaken my body system.I opened the door sluggishly, still feeling sleepy, but my eyes quickly widened at the person in front of me."Yop, wassup!" Jace greeted him and guided himself inside. He was looking Dangerously handsome in his outfit.He was dressed in a Flannel shirt, a beach short, and a pair of black Sneakers."Welcome, I said to him and offered him a seat before saying, "Aren't you too early?""Nah, look at your clock, lady," he said in a low tone before adjusting himself on the sofa properly and then handling over a package bag to me.I collected it without hesitation because I already knew what was inside."Nice!" I smiled and brought out the Golden kimono, hourglass bikini, and a pair of wedge heels."Thanks, sorry for my nonchalant attitude; I will go get ready now. Please feel at home." I informed her
*SNOW POV*I occasionally roll my shoulders alongside my head as I listen to " Under the Influence" by Chris Brown.A waiter brought a tray of cake and gestured to me to take from it. I smiled politely and picked up one piece before whispering, "Thank you." To him.I was about to shove the piece of cake into my mouth when a pair of hands came and whack it off, surprising me."What did you do that for?" I snapped at Jace in anger, and he shrugged his shoulders before saying, "You can't eat that; I don't want you going crazy and passing out."I creased my brows at his replies, my eyes urging him to reveal the reason for his action, and I watched him sigh.Listen, Snow, there is weed in that cake; it's not just an ordinary cak-""Wee-wee-weed!" I interrupted him in shock."Yes, Wee-wee-weed," he mimics, and I shoot him a deadly glare."Here," he said before handing me a fruit tote bag. I collected it arrogantly before questioning," I hope I can eat this?""Sure baby!""Huh! Sure baby?" I
*Snow POV*I jerked up from my bed in fear; I was in total shock. "What are you doing here? How do you even know where I live?" I throw out the question."Does it really matter? I should be the one asking questions, not you." He thurdered, "Where the hell have you been, and why aren't you answering your calls?""Well, I don't think I owe you any explanation." I sighed and looked away, hoping the situation would not get worse."Then don't blame me for this; I am going to show you who is in charge." He deadpans, confusing me.Before my head could process what was happening, he was already on the bed, hovering around my body as he pinned me to the bed. I struggled to get away from him, but he was just too powerful.He attacked my lips with burning kisses; I didn't know what came over me. I found the kiss enjoyable and began to kiss him back. The kiss gradually became heated."So you dare to go out like this, exposing my asset?" He groans, fondling my boobs barely. I find myself moaning c
*Snow POV* Five months later..... I grin from ear to ear. Today will be a memorable day in my life, as I will be getting married to the man of my dreams. I can't believe I will soon be called Mrs. Snow Rogers. Sounds great, right?I pulled up my mermaid wedding gown to ease my steps, and with careful steps, my low heels clicked on the marble floor of the aisle. My mother was also beside me, smiling proudly as she guided me towards my husband-to-be. My eyes met with the bright chestnut eyes of my husband-to-be, and I smiled cockily at him. He was looking so manly and handsome in his tuxedo suit; he was smiling so lovely at me, pleasing my heart and warming it like never before. It still feels like a dream; I never thought I would marry my grumpy coach. "You are looking beautiful, my love," he said to me while taking my hands and leading me up to the alter. I smiled sheepishly at him; I was overwhelmed by joy. "You are not looking bad yourself; did you plan on seducing me on this hol
* Lorenzo POV*I was pacing back and forth in the police station while Snow's mother was seated on a bench close to the receptionist counter. She was crying while still calling Snow's phone, which was obviously not going through."No news! Are you people even doing your job?" I demand coldly, holding myself from punching the police officer. Right now, I am very furious, scared, and frustrated to the core."Sorry, Mr. Lorenzo, the suspect hasn't breathed out a word; I am not sure if he is even behind the girl's disappearance." The officer in charge made this known."That's bullshit! Fucking bullshit, now you go in there and torture him to death; make him speak!" I roared. When Snow's mother got through to me that Snow had been missing for hours, my hunch settled on her ex-boyfriend, Chase. I know he is the only one who can pull this string, so I got the police to arrest him, but it seems we are still stuck in the same spot."Mr. Lorenzo, please calm down and allow us to do our job.""T
*Snow POV*My eyes flutter open, followed by a pang of pain. I didn't know what happened; what I could only remember was that I was drugged by a stranger."Hello! Who is here?" I called out, using the last straw of my strength. My orbs studied the room in which I was placed; it felt more like a cell. My body was covered in dirt, and my legs were chained, leaving my body with only underwear and being placed on the cold floor. My mind felt fuzzy, but I tried to keep my eyes open. Whatever this is, it's very dangerous, and I can bet I'm not anywhere close to my house.After awhile, the door finally opened, and a masked figure entered, holding a plate of food."Who are you, and why am I here?" I questioned the guard but received no response from him; he just gestured for me to eat and left."God have mercy," I mumble in shaky breath. It didn't take long before I was fetched from the room, heading to God knows where. I simply followed them quietly till we got to a type of open bedroom and
*Snow POV*I dabbed my eyes as soon as Ella's body was laid to rest. Jace gave me a soft pat on the back, and I huffed, "She is gone!" I breathe out."Thank you for coming, Miss Snow!" Ella's husband said to me. I took his hand for a handshake. "Please don't mention; accept my deep condolences.""Alright guys, I need to be on my way." I said to Jace and Chris, sparing each of them a warm hug before exiting the burial ground. I took a cab, heading to Lorenzo's office. We haven't seen each other for some time now due to my mother's constant nagging.I walked into Lorenzo's office and saw the cops taking Bianca in handcuffs. "What happened?" I questioned Lorenzo worriedly."The bitch tried to stab me," Lorenzo breathed out, hyperventilating. With the look of things, he put up a good fight."Oh my god!" My hands flung up to my mouth, and I hugged him. "Hope you aren't hurt!?" I inquired nervously, scanning his body for any sort of wound."Don't worry, babe, I am fine. I will make sure th
*Snow POV*I pulled up my drawstring bag, looking at the notice board. Nikky, Tasha and Bella, The three witches' photos and full names were boldly pasted on it, along with the notice of their expulsion. I didn't mean to sound evil, but they got what they deserved: seducing coaches and blackmailing them, bullying people to join their stupid girl cult, and their circle of madness.I hissed and pulled away after feasting my eyes. Right now, I am sulking because I am going home to go and encounter that mother of mine. For a few days now, we have been leaving like cats and rats. She didn't miss any opportunity to throw a shade at me, telling me how much of a disappointment I am, but I don't let it get to me too much. I know it is her anger self-speaking, and she indeed has every right to be angry, but I don't regret my decision. No matter her tantrum, I am still going to have this baby, whether she approves of it or not."Oh goodness, not today!" I complained, seeing Lorenzo's ex-wife app
*Snow POV*My mother burst the door open after me. I clutch my hair backwards, emptying the contents in tummy into the sink. "Shit!" I grunt, turning the tap on, and then rinse my face."Snow! D-o not te-ll me--" she slurred her words, with a shock expression written all over her face."Yeah. What you had in mind is true; I'm pregnant." I made it known, leaning away from the sink. I rolled a small amount of tissue paper, then wiped my hands."What! How! How could you do this to me? To yourself!" She barked, clenching and unclenching her fist."After all I have done for you, you dare to do this!?" I huffed, rubbing my forehead. I seriously don't need this drama right now. "Mom, I am sorry; I honestly don't plan for this to happen.""Oh, shut it! What do you mean you didn't plan for this to open? Were you not the one who willingly opened your legs, or were you raped?""Yeah, you are right; I was the one who willingly opened my legs." I hissed.-"Oh baby girl, you don't know what you ha
*Snow POV*I shut down my computer and slide out of my reading table. I just sent my withdrawal letter from the competition; I can't go through with it in my current state.I walked to my bed, picked up some of Lorenzo's clothes, and arranged them back into the wardrobe. For the past week, we have been cohabiting. He has refused to leave my side ever since he found out I am pregnant. The dude has become more clingy and possessive.Looking at the clock, it was almost 6 p.m., and I knew it was time to make dinner before he got back from work. That's if he was not even on the way already. I trotted into my small kitchen, picked out the ingredients, and began to prepare our dinner.I was slicing some tomatoes, swinging, and murmuring the song that was coming off of the home player when my phone lit up again for the 10th time. It was a missed call from Chase and his message, demanding me to come and see him in his hotel privately, and as usual, I didn't reply to any of his nonsense. Beside
*Snow POV*My weak eyelids flutter open. I look around my unfamiliar surroundings, only to find out I'm in the hospital."Shit. What happened?" I rubbed my forehead, attempting to rise from the bed, but I felt a sharp pain and lay back."Anyone here! Hello...." I called out weakly, and luckily for me, some nurses heard, thereby rushing in. "Go and call the doctor." One nurse ordered the other, who rushed out in no time, to go and fetch the doctor."How did I get here?" I asked curiously, because the only thing I could remember was Chase and Sir Lorenzo exchanging blows before I blanked out."You fainted, Miss," the nurses replied before the ward room door was pulled open, revealing the doctor and Lorenzo, who strutted in slowly."Hi dear, Are you feeling much better!?" The doctor asked, and I gave a soft nod before saying, "I'm just having a slight headache still." "Oh, don't worry, it's normal for the first few months." The doctor replied, smiling politely as she checked my pulse."N
*Snow POV*For the whole week, I didn't attend classes, and neither is my present relationship with Mr. Lorenzo as juicy as it was before. We do talk, but not intimately like we used to, and me finding out his resignation was pending was just like another bone in my throat, and I hate the fact that it was because of me that he was resigning.My phone lit up, signaling a message. I scooter closer to my bedstand, picked it up, and swiped it open, only for me to receive the shocking news of my life.Chase was heading to Atlanta; in fact, his plane will be landing a few minutes from now, and he requested that I come and pick him up.I jerk up from the bed, go straight to have my bath, then dress up in a simple denim trouser and a fitted yellow polo.I took a cab and went straight to the airport. Minutes passed while I still stood at the waiting spot to welcome my boyfriend, or, should I say, my ex-boyfriend."Hey!" Chase shouted, approaching me carefully in the most manly way, making me s
