The power dynamics were crystal clear, and quite frankly, I was exhausted from constantly clashing with her. So, I mustered up a brief apology, my head hanging low, and began to make my way out of the situation. However, before I could escape, she yanked me back, her voice dripping with disdain. "And where do you think you're going after drenching me with water? Did I mention that I graciously accepted your pitiful apology?"

I met her gaze with a fierce glare, not bothering to conceal my discontent. "What do you expect me to do? I can't turn back time and prevent the accident. So, what choice do we have but to move forward?"

She challenged me, demanding that I swear I didn't do it on purpose. I raised an eyebrow, exasperated. "Come on, Helen, it's my first day at work. Why would I intentionally seek trouble?” I hoped she would connect the dots and realize that this was a pure accident. “I didn't even see you coming. As for any lingering grudges from our past encounters, I can't apolog

    “Why do you always rush to conclusions without hearing me out first? It hurts and betrays me.” I was looking forward to getting back to work this morning, despite my disappointment. I told myself not to lose hope just yet.“It's obvious, unless he's blind, any man can figure out what's happening right now," Cameron said unshaken, completely convinced that he was speaking the truth. I couldn't bring myself to argue with him; I simply held back my tears."You never believe anything I say anyway," I said, wiping away the tear from my eye.He scoffed, saying that such a pitiful act wouldn't earn his sympathy. "Now, step forward."I obeyed, and in an instant, I found myself bending over the table, my skirt flying up in the air. I don't know why, but this inexplicably turned me on. All the sadness I had felt earlier vanished into thin air as I eagerly awaited the moment Cameron would fill me up.Soon enough, we became one. I closed my mouth tightly to prevent any screams from escaping; I di

    The remaining hours of the day crawled along at a snail's pace, devoid of any excitement or intrigue. I yearned for its conclusion, eagerly anticipating the moment I could escape to the comfort of my own abode. My eyes constantly scanned the surroundings, desperately hoping to catch a glimpse of Cameron. Alas, he remained elusive ever since he vanished into the unknown depths with that strange woman. My purpose here was to lay eyes on him, but now I couldn't help but fret that there was more to their connection. Perhaps they were engaged in an affair, given her possessive nature. Yet, does this affair concern me at all? After all, the only thing that binds us is a mere contract.I am aware that I should not exceed my boundaries, but my worries persist. If Cameron did not deem her important enough to disclose our marriage, should I truly consider it a sacred bond? Even Helen, who was away for some reason, seemed to have knowledge of our union. Yet, this woman appears to be completely

    I stood frozen, unable to utter a single word. My mind spun in confusion, her eyes blinking rapidly as I tried to comprehend the situation. And in that moment of vulnerability, Cameron seized the opportunity, grabbing my hand causing me to jerk in reaction and leading me up the stairs without any explanation or resistance on my end. We entered the room, the door slamming shut behind us, and only then did he release his grip, his eyes filled with a dangerous intensity."I need a favor from you," he spoke in a commanding tone, causing the hairs on my body to stand on end. I knew deep down that there was always a price to pay when Cameron offered his assistance. I saw it coming."What is it that you want?" I asked, my voice meek as I took a few cautious steps back.Cameron smiled, his shoulders dropping in a deceptive display of relaxation. "Don't worry, it's not an impossible task. I believe you're capable of it. And I'll make it worth your while. I need you to help me make someone jeal

    Cameron and I began spending a lot of time together, a stark contrast to the past when he would leave without a word. Now, he couldn't bear to be without me, making other women jealous. I played along with the role given to me. This sudden change in our relationship surprised and made others suspicious and envious. Cameron made sure to show our love in public, portraying himself as a loving husband. Soon, news of our marriage spread far and wide.During dinner at a restaurant that evening, I tried not to embarrass myself while Cameron looked relaxed, cutting his steak. He whispered for me not to stare and to act like I had been there before. I quickly composed myself, trying to enjoy the meal. Being in that place made my stomach churn nervously, feeling like everyone was watching and gossiping about me.Cameron noticed my discomfort and asked what was wrong, speaking softly as he usually did. I couldn't tell if he was genuinely concerned or just acting. I couldn't bring myself to conf

    Before George could finish his sentence, the woman interrupted, asking if he had seen her lipstick that she thought she had tossed in his pocket earlier. This caused him to pause in mid-air and turn his attention towards her."Are you sure you did?" he asked, searching through his pocket and eventually pulling out a red lipstick. The woman seemed satisfied as she snatched it from his grip, while George appeared confused. "I don't remember you tossing anything in my pocket," he said, scratching his head in bewilderment."Well, it's your fault for not paying attention," she teased.I found myself intrigued by the words George had been about to say before the woman interrupted. It seemed like she had deliberately cut him off to prevent him from revealing something, and I wondered why."So tell me, Avery," George said, his eyes shifting from his woman to me with a mischievous glint. As he opened his mouth to speak, I could sense the curiosity in his voice. "How was your honeymoon?"I froz

    I couldn't shake the eerie sense of familiarity as she entered the room, her steps commanding me to retreat. I couldn't help but ask if there was a problem, for her piercing gaze seemed to suggest she wanted me dead. Her presence exuded dominance, leaving me unsettled.“Little did I know, when I spotted you earlier at the office, I foolishly mistook you for a mere janitor. I had forgotten that cunning individuals like you would go to great lengths to achieve their desires. Was this how you wormed your way into his bed, pretending to be an ignorant maid, hoping to one day seduce him?”It wasn't her harsh words that bewildered me, but the fact that she claimed we had met earlier that day at the office. She couldn't be mistaken, as she knew I worked as a cleaner. Yet, no matter how I tried to recall, the memory eluded me.She paused, then burst into laughter. "I can see you no longer recognize me. Is it the makeup or the outfit?" she asked, glancing down at herself.Upon closer examinati

    My mind was blown, my ears doubting the words that reached them. How could it be? I had always believed Cameron had only one true love and an ex-fiancé. But now, the shocking truth emerged - seven ex-girlfriends. Where did they come from? And was she one of them? A whirlwind of questions swirled within me, desperate for answers.She must have sensed my disbelief, for she studied my expression intensely. "No one ever told you, did they?" she said, her voice laced with a hint of mystery. "I am the first to reveal this secret to you." Why was it kept hidden? I pondered. Though not entirely a secret, it was a topic one wouldn't casually discuss. The enigma deepened, leaving me even more intrigued.There had to be a profound reason behind this revelation. Even Cameron himself had not mentioned it before, nor had Blair, who relished in taunting me. Normally, she would have used this knowledge to bring me down, to discourage me. But her silence spoke volumes, raising alarm bells within me.T

    I was tired of the distance between us so I drew closer to him, curling my arms around his neck. I felt him suck in a sharp breath, parting his lips to speak but I beat him to it. "Am I allowed to do this the next time we run into her?" I question, batting my lashes at him. He coughs and then does something unexpected, grabs my butt. It's my turn to freeze now, I am overcome with shyness and quickly turn my gaze to the other side. "Am I allowed to do this the next we run into her?" He throws back my question. Why would he even ask that? "You can do as you please." I whisper in a meek tone, "I'm yours anyway." But I'm not sure he grabs the last part. Cameron spanks my ass and I fight back a moan, "I know you're jealous." He says. Isn't it pretty obvious? I've been screaming it in his face for while now, he's the one who refuse to acknowledge my feelings. I feel his lips on my ear, a cold shiver runs through my spine, "how about you bring out this jealous side of yours next time?"

    “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hide it from you.” She said in a broken tone drawing closer to me but I took a step back.“I was going to tell you truth when everything is settled, believe me Avery I didn’t mean to hurt you this way.”But I couldn’t get myself to believe her a second time, “you were aware that I couldn’t remember anything yet you chose to lie to me.” I felt so betrayed that I couldn’t get myself to look at her, I had my suspicions at first but after she saved me I chose to trust her. I can’t believe her father was responsible and she knew all this while and chose to keep it from me. Just like Cameron did, why do they all protect their fathers even though they’re not good people?“I never lied to you, yes my father is guilty but he didn’t do it alone. Colton is his accomplice, you can’t absorb him of blame.”I turned to Colton who seemed to be enjoying the situation at hand, before I could get the words out he beat me to it, saying, “I did covet your father’s company an

It’s no use listening to him.”But even though I’d like to hear him out, after all I’ve only listened to one side of the story.“It’s not surprising that you act this way,” Colton says, “did you have fun feeding her lies?

No idea.“Say something Avery.” Cameron nudges me back to life.My eyes trail up as I draw in a deep sigh, “honestly I don’t know what to say, my heads a mess right now.

    I don't know why but my first instinct was to run, immediately I laid my eyes on him I descended into a hot chase. I could hear my name being yelled from a distance yet I did not care to look behind.Why am I even running? It's not like I've done anything wrong. In this case I'm the victim, the assailant is his father. If so, what does that make him?I don't know, but I wish there was a way I could find out.Right now I feel lost and confused, I don’t know who or what to believe. Is Kylie telling the truth?

    Finally everything made sense, no wonder Colton is so eager to find me. He must be under so much tension right now, I can’t imagine what would happen if the documents eventually falls into his hands. That would give him enough shares to overthrow Cameron, and I don’t want to see that happen. “But the thing is, no one knows where the documents are.” Kylie said breaking me from my thoughts. “Perhaps the old Avery might have an idea not you.” She sighed tiredly and I couldn’t help but agree. We’re just as clueless as Colton in this situation, neither of us knows where to begin search from.“You mentioned those shares have been untouched for a while now, honestly I don’t think the old Avery would know.” I say, “wasn’t I maid in the past? If I knew I had so much money lying around, why would I choose to serve others?”She turned her face away from me and scoffed, “I know you well Avery, there’s nothing you wouldn’t do for that man. I wouldn’t be shocked to find out that you knew but dec

    “I don’t think it’s just for you to accuse him like that.”Even though I couldn’t remember, I had a feeling that Cameron wasn’t that bad. I couldn’t resist the urge to defend him. Didn’t I hate him a while ago? What’s happening now. She drew in a deep sigh, “you’re so stupid Avery I can’t believe we are friends.”“Says you,” I rolled my eyes, “I don’t even know who you are, do you think it’s right to accuse my husband in such a manner.”“I’m only trying to help you, what don’t you understand!”“Well if you’re trying to help me stop accusing him without having concrete evidence.”She paused for a moment rolling her eyes through me, “I can tell you don’t believe me, but look into your heart, the memories are in there somewhere.”“I don’t care about those darn memories!” I screamed out loud. Right now the only person I want to see is him, even though he’s one of the reasons why I’m miserable. It feels like only he can alleviate my pain right now.“Listen to me woman!” Kylie grabs my s

    Jake drove us to a fancy hotel in town, as the car came to a halt I alighted ready to walk in when I saw the words CMN boldly written ahead. Turning to face Kylie, “isn’t it Cameron’s?”She smiled back at me and replied, “indeed it is but it won’t be for long.”However that was the least of my concerns right now, even after learning that Colton robbed my family of everything we owned, reclaiming the stolen properties was the last thing on my mind right now. What I desire is to lock him behind bars forever. “Don’t you think it’s risky staying here? What if he finds me? Also I have no money, I can’t afford a place like this.” Pausing to look at her, “and I don’t think you can either.”I only took out little from what Cecilia had given me, the rest was carefully tucked away underneath the bed. Who knew that the motel would catch fire and everything would burn to ashes, now I’m cashless with two mouths to feed. Going to the bank isn’t even an option when I can barely remember my own d

    Just as I was preparing to attack I heard a commotion outside which created a distraction as both men craned their neck to the direction the sound had emerged from while the woman continued to focus of the babies, I couldn’t help but notice how tender and soft she was with them.She didn’t look as bad as the other two, I made a mental note to say a word of gratitude when I finally made it out of here. “Go check what’s happening.” Chubby said to skinny who seemed a bit reluctant but eventually turned walking towards the exit.As the man walked away, he turned to face me, I could see the warning in his eyes. “Don’t you dare attempt anything funny, now tell me where you have hidden the documents.”As I opened my mouth to speak there was a loud bang resembling a gun shot, he quickly scurried to the ground for safety while the woman hid away in a corner. There came another shot, I knew I couldn’t just seat still and wait for them to get to me. Without much effort I easy broke away from t
