He didn't expect to see her again, an encounter that ignited his love and desires for her; She didn't expect to meet him sooner —an encounter that ignited her hunger for revenge and a twisted desire. ****** He pushed me against the wall, "End the contract with my boss! You are playing with fire Victoria!" He roars. I remain unfazed; this is just the tip of the iceberg, and there is more to come. How I wish he could read the handwriting on the wall, he should be more scared of me, not his boss. "Dear ex-husband, are you jealous that I'm with your boss or is it something else?" I challenge him, a mysterious smile playing on the tip of my lips. His eyes blaze with fury, swiftly pinning me against the wall, his breath fanning my ear, sending shockwaves of pleasure despite the situation. "You know nothing; if you are aiming for revenge, then do it openly!" My gaze meets his, "You don't know what is coming for you, Brad; it is far more than you can fathom."I gave him a sinister smile which made him go crazy. "Fine, I admit I was wrong; I shouldn't have done that to you; I shouldn't have abandoned our love and made you sign those papers, but I did that for you!" Came his outburst. "I...I did that to protect you... because I love you... because I don't want to lose you." He cupped my face tenderly, his hands shaking against my skin; I stood still, dumbfounded. "protection from what?" I choked at my question because I knew whatever the reason may be, it might already be too late. This has gone beyond love—the thirst for revenge and duty is at stake now. Will love be given a chance again?

"I didn't know at first until after several nights of us fucking each other," my knuckles tightened."There was no way for me to know; whenever he goes to Manhattan, he always tells me it was his grandmother he was going to visit, not knowing it was his fucking wife and children!" Anger rose in me again. "Watch it, bitch!" I reprimanded her for the way she was speaking about my friend."Nevertheless, you know you're messing with my girl. You broke the girl's code, and I don't care whether you know or not because when you later found out, you still refused to back off!""You think it's that easy? I love this man! He means the world to me, and I've come to a conclusion that I don't mind sharing in the meantime," my eyebrows cocked up." For the meantime?""Yes, for the meantime, Maxwell promised to divorce her soon; besides, he doesn't even love her; he only married her because she got pregnant. The b
*Victoria POV*I couldn't sleep properly that night; the scene of how Carlos kissed me into silence in the process of my rant never eased from my memory. It caused a newfound feeling, one I'm still confused about, haunting my mind like a ghost in a haunted house.Moreover, we ought to be leaving today, but I couldn't stand seeing him after what happened last night. I think I was too shy to stand him this morning, so I dropped a message that I had very important things to do, so he should head ahead with my things and would join him later. Honestly, I didn't plan to pay Maxwell's mistress a visit, but getting into such a tense situation, I needed something, or better still someone, to pour it into, so my best bet is visiting the bitch.The cab halted in one of the streets of Brooklyn, in front of Daisy's Bridal World. I stepped out and stared at the building; a mysterious smile crept into my face without my knowing it. My mind flashed with blurry memories of the past when I first visit
*Victoria POV*"Oh!" I faked a sneeze, using that method to nudge her to the side, preventing her from taking a look at the other section."Hey! Are you okay?" She lost focus, reverting her full attention to me. I gave a rapid nod while also dragging her out of the section." I think I'm reacting to the smell of this place," I lied, hastening us out of the place."But nothing is smelling," she tried to protest, giving me a confused look, but I didn't allow that to distract me; I needed to get her out of there. "Hey! Slow down!" She snapped at me, but I still didn't slow down my pace until I reached the next two sections—where lingerie and bikinis were being sold."Seriously now?" Judy complained, huffing out most annoyingly. "What's the use of purchasing this girl?" I bite the bottom of my lips; I don't know why my heart is pounding very fast. I never knew this shopping would be a bad idea; I just prayed Maxwell wouldn't come here unless I wouldn't be able to do anything to stop this i
*Victoria POV*"Jeez! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, babe!" I apologize, slapping myself hard on the face when I pulled back from her and realized what I'd done. "I don't mean to attack you, I swear!" I continued to explain; she didn't say a word; she just walked to the couch, sat down, and continued crying."Judy, please! I'm sorry." I went to her, trying to get on my knees, but she quickly stopped me. "I should be the one apologizing, Vikky. I went too far with my words; I don't know what came over me. I'm so sorry; all this is just taking a toll on my feelings." She sniffed, guiding me to sit in the space closer to her. I took her palms and looked straight into her eyes. I know you're going through a lot, but don't worry; I will deal with it for you." My eyes shone with determination; her face flushed with a scared look. "I don't want you to get into trouble, babe. I'll handle things.""What did we promise ourselves about always standing for each other? Your fight is my fight, babe; we a
*Victoria POV* Carlos drove me back to the Russo Villa. I hadn't yet gotten myself, so he took me in his arms inside. "Thank you!" I mumbled softly while he helped me take out my shoes and jewelry and ducked me under the duvet. He strode into the bathroom before the noise of running water filled my ear—he was having his bath; I was too weak to go and do the same. "Do you want me to clean you up?" He enquired, trotting back to the bedroom. I shook my head as a sign of disapproval. I will blush to death if he sees me naked; I don't think I have gotten so free with him to that extent. "Okay," I watched him from the corner of my lazy eyes, fitting into a pair of light pajamas. I also didn't fail to catch sight of his flaccid manhood; it looked so small and harmless, but I bet when it's fully aroused, it can devour the hell out of someone. My eyelids were weakening with every passing second; I was slowly accepting the call of the god of sleep. Carlos joined me on the bed; he nudged me cl
*Victoria POV*We glared at each other eyeball to eyeball. I bet he wanted to communicate with me through his eyes to mind my business, but it was not going to work; my big mouth must be put to use. "Um, Mr Max, I was wondering where Ju—" He cut me off by dragging me away to a nearby corner."Take your freaking hands off me!" I snapped and wrung my arm from his hold, which made me earn a few scratches."What the fuck is your problem? Don't you know how to mind your damn business!" He barked, eyes dilating."Well, in this case, it's my business. I just saw my best friend's husband in the arms of another woman. Care to explain? You motherfucking cheat!" He raised his arms up, attempting to slap me, but another hand held him mid-air. Carlos glared down at him, eyes bloodshot; he swirled him around by the hand and flung him against the wall, making a loud thud sound erupt in the air."Carlos please!" I cried out when he hit him across the face sending Maxwell's body spinning backward; I
*Victoria POV*I continued to stare at the message, blinking with bafflement. "What's the problem?" Carlos asked, sharing his gaze between my phone and me. "Hello!" He barked out, making me flinched and jerked back."Um... not—nothing," I stammered, shoving my phone away. "Hmm," he hummed, ducking his hands inside his pants and looking at me skeptically. I bet he didn't buy my lies. "Anyways, get set before 6 pm; we've got a birthday party to attend, okay?" I leveled my eyes at him; oh, that's nice." I forced a smile.I think I should be on my way now," I made known; he simply nodded his head and went back to his seat while I hurried out of his office. My chest was pounding really hard; as soon as I moved far away from the Russo building, I dialed James's number."Hey! I've got a problem; I think I've got a stalker or something." I spoke through the phone, telling him every single detail from the occurrence of the flower bouquet to the strange message. He promised to keep a tab on it
*Victoria POV*My weak eyelid slowly lifted, only to see Carlos's head resting on top of my hand, thereby keeping it mobile. I tried to lift my body from the soft mattress, my brow creased in confusion; the last memory I had was when I blanked out when Carlos was choking me. How I got into his room, I don't know."Wa...ter," I called out, my voice muffled— tapping gently at his arm, he released his body from the bed, his groggily grey eyes adjusted to me fully before he realized my request. He stood up and went to get a glass of water for me. He leaned forward and fed it to me."Thank you," I spoke out after he took the cup away from my mouth. "How did we get home?" I questioned. He looked away and then dropped the cup on the bedside."Rob...um...Rob!" He fumbled, rubbing his palms against each other, producing a sharp sound. Is he trying to harm himself?"Hey! It's fine; I understood." I muttered."How is your hand injury?" I pointed at it; he gazed down and gave a nod and still mout
*Victoria POV*I walked into the prestigious 'The Box' club and went straight to the receptionist. "Good evening," I greeted and presented the membership card given to me to her and also displayed the code sent to me by Carlos. "Welcome, ma'am, you can go." I smiled and took back the card, kept it back inside my purse, and resumed my steps. The atmosphere was bustling with music, cheers of people dancing on the dancefloor, and the clicking sound of glasses. I found my way into the VIP, where Carlos was seated with his goons, sipping from his wine glass. His expression was stoic and unfazed, and the sunglasses on his face made him look more dreadful.The goons parted for me to walk through. "Good evening, sir," I greeted before taking a seat closer to his. He nods his head, not averting his eyes from the striptease happening on stage. I smacked my teeth with my tongue out of annoyance. Must he be so arrogant all the time?"I want to go and have a dance if you don't mind," I spoke out,
*Victoria POV*"VICTORIA, COME TO THE HOUSE RIGHT NOW! The text message gave out an urgent order.I slide out of the cab with the gift box in my hands. I was so excited; I would get to see my husband again after being away for over a month due to a contract deal.I believe he too, couldn't wait to see me as well that's why he sent that message."Bradley, "I called out with much enthusiasm, dancing on my toes as I walked past the foyer of our small bungalow house."Welcome honey!" I rushed to give him a hug, kissing him all over his face. I pulled away with a creased eyebrow when he didn't reciprocate. His behavior was strange; the Bradley I know would have been all over me; he would even try to make out with me immediately, so what's wrong?"Honey, what's the matter?" I inquired, keeping the gift box aside before turning to face him. He stepped away from me and dropped the glass of red wine that was in his hand; his expression was stoic and unreadable.It was when he stepped away furt...
