Leilani

I was trembling against the sink, water dripping down my face and staining the immaculate white sink with makeup colors. I was trying to wash my face clean, but my hands were too shaky to even do that properly. I was so close to having a full-on panic attack. How am I ever going to get out of this mess?

I grabbed a towel and wiped my messy face vigorously, brushing wet strands of hair off. When my face was clean of the last traces of makeup, I threw the towel in the trash and yanked off my tiny peach robe. I was done with my photoshoot at least, and I could go home and pop a sleeping pill to prevent myself from collapsing from terror. If only I could find Adonis. I could not reach him. Did he block me? I grabbed my casual sweats out if the drawer and pulled it over my naked body, dragging my hair out of the bun at the top of my head. 

I was a literal mess.

But all I was focused on right now was holding my tears till I was completely alo

    LeilaniMy soul ached.I looked up at his beautifully shadowed hard face. “You keep giving me mixed signals, Adonis. You rejected and walked away from me. Now, you’re right here.”He looked down to meet my gaze, saying in an unwavering tone. “I care about you. I don’t care about a lot of people, but I have the maddening urge to always make sure you’re safe. That’s why I’m here. I heard the case was reopening, and I knew that could hurt you. Only for me to find out some unknown fucker was already hurting you.” He licked his bottom lip. “But I cannot give you what you want, Leilani. Love or sex. Come with me so we can talk better?”Cannot or will not?It was a choice for him. He could not control his heart, but he could decide to fuck me anytime he wants… and no matter how disgusting it was, I was married, but I will always desire the man I truly love. But no, Adonis seemed to have vowe

    LeilaniOutrage.It was palpable in the air the moment that horrific audio clip ended. The silence was heavy. But not as heavy as the shock that had descended on me had pinned me to where I sat. My eyes were wide, cheeks drained of blood and heart churning. What… what was that?The silence was horrible, as the shocked guests speechlessly tried to understand what they just heard, and the barrage of insults that just fell upon their ears this night… but when they began to react, it was worse. Eyes flung in my direction from all corners, glaring bad accusing. Murmurs erupted, anger and shock painted on every face. A few people even threw hot insults directed at me, as the hostess got back on stage, straining her voice over the microphone as she tried to calm everyone down and call everyone to order.But all my terrified eyes could see was disorder.People were already getting up from their seats, fuming and ready to leave the event, take a

  • Obsessed With My Husband's Step-Brother   Hey, son. Daddy is out of jail

    AdonisAll my red signal senses have been fucking alerted. Why the fuck would some creep be following me? If they were trying to get violent with me, they would have made a move by now. But no, they had been trailing after me without any sign of aggression for a while now. Fuck, I would not want to lead any fucking creep to Iris’ doorstep and I could easily speed up and lose them, but I wanted to get to the bottom of this.Usually, I’m reckless. I throw caution to the wind when normal people fucking need it most. People stay away from danger, I move towards danger. I live with danger. I attract danger. I am danger. And that’s why whoever is blackmailing Leilani with our video is fucking fucked. Just like the poor fuck trailing me with a beat ass car. They might be fucking armed, but if they wanted to kill me, they would have attempted it by now.My hand swerved on the wheel, and the car sharply turned out of the highway and down to the side of the

    AdonisSometime later, deep into the night, a series of knocks filtered into my ears from the door. I barely moved from where I sat, legs sprawled and head tipped back against the wall. If it was room service, they would be fucking gone the next moment. But a moment later, they were not fucking going anywhere. The knocks turned incessant, and the landline telephone was starting to blow up. My phone was probably cracked somewhere on the dark floor, cracked under a piece of furniture… but I could hear the vibrations of it ringing silently from somewhere around.I closed my eyes again and licked my bottom lip, dragging in a deep breath. But I could feel myself getting furious at the disturbances. After what seemed like an eternity of knocking, the door slid open, spilling light from the outside into the dark and massive space. I glared at the light, and there was a hotel worker standing stiffly, with a master key card in her hand.I was about to rip her to piece

    Leilani“The flash drive is with some tech experts, babe, and they will reveal how someone was able to manipulate that fake audio recording to sound like you.” Neil’s voice said soothingly in the air pod tucked into my ear. “It will be fine, baby.”I shook my head bitterly, leaning back against my glass work desk in my office. “All I worked for is going down the drain so fast. Although my contract was supposed to end during the event, the other benefits my brand was supposed to gain after is not even certain anymore. The hosts wants to breech the contract and even sue me for defamation. Clients are declining rapidly and terminating our agreements. Nobody wants to believe that the clip is fake.”“We will prove it, baby. But you know we can’t be sure it was Belle’s fault.”“She was left in charge of that clip. Whatever alteration that happened in that technical room falls on her shoulders. I&

    LeilaniI felt Neil nudge me, and when I looked at him, his baby blue eyes were so beautiful in the dim lighting and they were filled with a playful gleam. “Will you let me kiss you now, babe?” There was a cute grin on his handsome face, and he was just so cute… that not even a headache could stop me from smiling back.“You always want to kiss me when there’s a kissing scene on the screen.” I giggled lightly. He winked, “When you have an irresistible wife, things tend to turn out that way.” He pulled me even closer against himself, our faces just a few inches apart. His tone was low. “I am being serious though.” His hand cupped my cheek, slowly leaning in to claim my lips, but the sound of the doorbell cut into the moment.I blinked, as Neil clenched his jaw and leaned away. “Are you expecting someone tonight?”“No.” I responded, straighten

    LeilaniI had panicked after seeing that text. This picture was so recent. So, so recent. And the text said my wedding rings would remain on my finger for just three months. I have been married for three months. Does that mean they were about to release the video?! I was scrambling about in the bathroom, shakily throwing some pills into my mouth and gulping down water straight from the faucet. The migraine was not going away.I had no time to have a proper bathe or wash my hair, so I just jumped into the shower for like two seconds and rolled my damp hair into a rough bun at the top of my head. Adonis had not given me any feedback about tracing the blackmailer, and it was driving me crazy. I had dialed his number a thousand times, but his phone was fucking switched off. Why was he always so damn unreachable?!Neil had gone for a morning jog with Chase, so I could leave the house without thinking of some excuse to give him for not resting like the doctor advised. I w

    LeilaniI was fully awake before I even tried to open my eyes. My entire body felt like it was tied down to the soft bed beneath me. The incessant splitting of my head had dulled into just a faint throb, but I still felt awful. Lord, I felt so awful. And that was because I clearly remembered why I had passed out. I remembered the pain. The intense pain that made my heart physically ache. I already felt so ill, and having my worn heart torn apart again so viciously was too much to handle.And I fainted.Her lips had pressed against his. She kissed him. And he did not pull away. He did not pull away like he did when I kissed him in the elevator. He let her kiss him… and he had stared at her as she fucking walked away. Oh God, it hurt. It burned. But my poor mind was refusing to believe it. He was already with another woman? But he said he cared about me… and he had the maddening urge to keep me safe. He f

    Leilani‘Iris, I’m in love with you.’Those words rang loud and clear in my mind as I hurried as far away from there as I could manage with tears pouring down my reddened face. I had heard their whole conversation. And he had said those words. Those words that I was dying to hear him say, those words that meant so much, so much to me… he had finally said them.But to another woman.My heart was physically searing up with pain at this point, and I just could not see the point of life anymore. After all of this, everyone left me all alone and abandoned. He is leaving. With Iris. I would never see him again. The memories were all I had, and they were like scalding hot coals burning everywhere they landed on my mind. It did not matter now that Freya was dead and Brooke was in jail. I had lost everything.They won.I stumbled out a set of glass doors, and out into the open, only to

    One week later.Leilani“I am so glad that you are well enough to leave the hospital, now.” Belle smiled at me eagerly, as mom and Ashley packed my stuff into bags so they could take me home, since I just got discharged. My face was permanently set in a flat expression, and I just stared at the wall like I have done for days now, not bothering to say a word in response.Ashley muttered to Belle. “She has not said a word to anyone ever since she saw Adonis in the ICU. I am worried about her mental health.”I could not bear listening to them talk about me like I was not even there, so I got up from the bed and moved out of the ward, randomly walking around hallways and down stairs like a fucking lunatic. I lifted my hand to wipe the tears which now poured out randomly, anytime they liked. The first time I thought I was experiencing heartbreak, it’s nothing compared to what I was feeling now.

    LeilaniI shot up from the bed with a gasp, eyes flinging wide open while the heart monitor began to beep drastically. I recognized that I was on a hospital bed, but my soul, my mind and heart were going insane to know what had happened to Adonis. I had collapsed like a pathetic weakling instead of helping Iris get him out of the wreck.“Leila?”I tore off the tubes connected to my hands and flung my legs off the bed, feeling the hospital gown drag down against my skin. I was hurriedly disconnecting all the shit that had been attached to me, while someone kept calling my name. “Leila?! Nurse! She’s awake- Leila!” I got up from the bed, but I was hit with a wave of dizziness so hard that I fell back on the bed, unable to even see clearly. Arms held me, and I tried to resist, muttering hoarsely. “A-Adonis… I need to see…”“She’s still disoriented. Pass me the

    AdonisThe hostess was standing in the middle of the race track, a harsh white spotlight bathing down on her as she placed one hand on her hip, her skimpy leather clothes shining under the light. She let out a wicked grin, “READY!”The crowd had simmered down, eagerly watching, hundreds of eager eyes straining to catch every tiny bit if the action. Engines revved. Breaths slowed. Gloved hands gripped harder. Boots inched down on the accelerator. Adrenaline spiked. Heartbeats pounded. She raised her other hand, holding a red flag, slowly bracing her legs in stripper heels apart for more balance. My eyes followed her movements like a hawk, ready to fly the moment she brought that flag down.The race track was some kind of very dangerous road with sharp bends and ugly surprises, and like any illegal race, there was no fucking way to monitor whatever the racers do once they speed out of here.

    I spread my arms and shifted to shield Cora away completely. “You’ll have to hurt me first, Freya.”She sighed. “Neil. I thought we already made some progress in our relationship as mother and son? Why are you taking her side after all that we discussed? Remember, you came to me, broken and destroyed and I welcomed you with open arms and helped you deal with all these problems-”“Problems that you planned?!” I yelled, the tendons on my neck straining against my skin. “You just fucking murdered someone right in front of me! So, it was you all along. How could you be so disgusting to make a sex tape of anyone, no matter who they are! How could you give Tina, a fucking psychopath, the power to destroy my honeymoon and shoot some shit up my neck? I thought Tina was crazy, but you are a fucking lunatic who should be locked up in that hospital forever!” I snarled. Cora whispered behind me, &ldqu

    NeilI had experienced the three stages of severe emotional devastation these past few weeks. Pain. Sadness. Rage. But tonight, I just realized that I had slipped into a stage that was more destructive than the other three combined. And that was Numbness. I had gone cold. My heart had finally stopped feeling.From Leilani. To Adonis. To my fucking mother. They were all monsters, and I knew what to do now. I had gone back to Freya after I saw the sex tape, and she had gladly welcomed me… only to find out now that she orchestrated all of this in the first place. She was a fucking monster. I had struggled with accepting that fact all my life, and now it had forcefully sunk into my brain like lead.The night was bleak. Leilani was still missing. And I have been walking for fuck knows how long, with my hands buried in the pocket of my sweats, face thrown back to stare at the darkness above, my shirt drenched with cold sweat. Cor

    He moved back from the camera to reveal a room, and in the middle of that damn room, was Leilani… tied to a fucking chair. My heart thudded in anger and rage as I saw Kygo, my old rival from when I was still an illegal underground racer, hunched over Leilani’s body, pressing a gun into her cleavage with a sick smile on his damn fucking face. Kygo yelled, “Come get her from me if you’re man enough, Ace. Try anything fucking funny and I will rape this bitch and send you the video. The way we almost did back then with Lily. Remember?”He laughed.“You fucked my woman, right? Iris, if you are there, know that your pussy is going to be mine whether you want it or not, bitch. When I get you, I will chain you down in a cage like my fucking dog and fuck you like the slut you are!” My eyes darkened as I whipped my face to look at Iris in shock. How the fuck does Kygo know Iris? And why does she not look confused?

  • Obsessed With My Husband's Step-Brother   The master-mind

    LeilaniWhen I opened my eyes, I was well aware of my pathetic situation even before the dark and miserable appearance of my surroundings reminded me. I had been abducted by Adonis’ biological father. The man that reeked of pure evil. I slowly straightened up in the corner of the room that I have been thrown in, shaking my head to clear the headache that was starting to grow.I did not even have the strength to panic.“Oh, the princess is awake!” A male voice said and I jolted with a startle, gasping lightly. My widened eyes looked around the room again to discover that it was not empty. Adonis’ father -or Saint, fuck, I could not even call his name- was sitting on a dark king-sized chair at the other end of the room, smoking a big wrap of weed. The room had dim lighting, but I could see the outlines of his terrifyingly familiar face, and the white smoke curling out of his mouth.“Is t

  • Obsessed With My Husband's Step-Brother   Where the fuck is that bitch?

    The detective opened another file. “Let us take a look at Ms. Freya Declan's case study. Now, we shall agree that this woman has a history of being violent towards both Adonis and Cora. There are records of her hiring thugs to harm these people and their properties. Again, this woman has a lot of influence. Enough influence that she escaped punishments for her actions for a very long time, until she ended up in a hospital. And with this influence, she was able to make a mysterious visit to Dubai… and then left immediately, as if she was trying to distance herself from all the troubles that would start popping up after she left.“Again, she then mysteriously communicated with skilled armed men, to break her out of the hospital even when she could have easily manipulated her way out. Then she went into hiding. Disappearing the same way Tina disappeared when she was wanted. We have gone into very in-depth analysis of her activities and transactions, a
