DahliaSilence is the only occupant in the office for like 2…3 minutes until I huff and say, “I don’t care.” Not turning an itch to face Carlton, I starts for the door. However the next thing Carlton does within split seconds, takes me unaware. I barely reach the door, before I feel a strong grip at my arm and with a slight pull, I’m twirling around, almost tripping on my heels before landing on Carlton’s chest. His strong arms encircles my waist. Then his next action gets me even more stunned. “Carlton what are you…” Carlton’s lips slamming against mine, cuts off the rest part of my words. My whole system freeze at once. My breathing stop and my body goes stiff. I’m toss in that awkward moment when you are alert to what is happening but a nerve in your brain is completely shut down and you can’t help yourself. So instead of pulling away from Carlton as my instincts wills me to, I engage in an aggressive lip ride with Carlton. We eat each other’s lips aggressively, our tong
Dahlia pov As I’m still staring in disbelief at the photo, my memory transcends to about two weeks ago. The day Tristian discharged himself from the ward since according to him, he had business in L.A which was more important than his health. “Tristian, I still think this isn’t a good idea.” I am sitting on Tristian’s bed in place of him. Whining and worrying as he’s busy strapping on his suit jacket hastily. “The Doctor advise that you stay on bed rest for at least two more days.” “Trust me dahlia, I’m hail and vibrant already. Stop worrying about a grown up man like me but I’m flattered by your concern though.” Tristian teases, throwing a playful wink at me which somewhat makes him look cute. But still, I’m not buying his antics. “You may look physically strong but what if the attack comes again?” “Then I’ve got my medicines.” I’m about to argue further but I’m cut off by the creaking sound of the door. Both mine and Tristian’s attention turns to it and we see a strange
Dahlia’s Pov “And look who came to have lunch with MY husband!” Marigold snared stressing the ‘MY’. Her obstruction immediately attract eyes of onlookers to us. “So just because I took your car, you decided to hang out with dahlia?!” She yelled. “Mari-gold don’t even start. Not everyone is as petty as you.” Carlton scoff In frustration, swallowing a lump and gawking at the onlookers. Marigold continues to rant. “Then what are you doing in this fancy eatery with dahlia? I can’t even remember the last time we went out on dates like couples should.” She yell on top her voice that it’s almost straining. She’s so pained and it’s twinkling in her eyes. I haven’t even plunge my claws on Carlton’s heart yet she’s already like this. I wonder what she will do when Carlton gets rid of her for me because I’m certainly going to make him. “Everything isn’t about you marigold.” Carlton spits coldly, indirectly humiliating marigold in front of the onlookers and marigold faces grows even more d
Dahlia’s pov, “Here’s the thing, sunny is drunk.” Tristian blurts out. “She had called me few minutes ago, crying and rambling over some stuffs. I was forced to locate her at the bar she was and brought her back. She was, in fact she is in a pretty bad mess. She puked overall the place and all over me. Which obviously explains why I’m shirtless.” He rasps spitefully, turning from the embarrass Tristian he was a while ago to a pissed one now. “Sunny is drunk? Why? What happened? Why did she drink?” I asks before I realize Tristian wouldn’t know all that. So I just walk out of Tristian and enter Sunny’s room. First I’m welcome with a strong stench of alcohol which nauseate me before I manage to walk up to an half-sleepy-drunk looking sunny on the bed. “Sunny? What the hell happened? Just how much did you drink?” I snapped at her. “Tristian?” She called with her voice dragging. She’s lying face down but still If not the effect of alcohol she could recognize me. “Where’s the pack
Dahlia pov, “We shouldn’t rush into it in haste. Yes that portrait looks so much like Spencer’s but don’t forget there are millions of people with same physique and a million others with that same dragon tattoo, same spot. We can’t just accuse the first suspect that comes to mind until there’s a solid proof. You don’t want to put an innocent person behind bars do you?” Tristian points out reasonably and As I think about it, I can’t help but see that he just might be right. There are indeed thousands of people with the same tattoo, same spot. The last thing I want to do is to jail an innocent person. I know how that feels like. Thinking more about that, eve marigold has that same tattoo. Same spot as that’s quite a popular spot for that type of tattoo. I’m not saying it’s marigold in the frame as she’s obviously a female but what if the person is one of her holigan friends and the tattoo is somewhat a symbol of their friendship bond? Or she could even be related to Spence
Sunny’s Pov As much as I will hate to admit, being in the same entity with Tristian got to be the top rated awkward moment of my life. I may have been all tough and sassy outside but I was literally scourging with Agitation. The fact that Tristian saw the lowest version of me yesterday and probably how I must have made a fool out of myself freaks the hell out of me. I had thought hiding beneath the guise of giving him cold shoulders and being feisty with him would suppress it but I had failed. Why the hell he had really came to the bar for me is something I’ll never place my head around. Tristian had been such a jerk to me even though dahlia keeps appraising him. But then again why the hell was Tristian the first person that called to my mind when I needed a helping hand? Fuck sakes there’s dahlia there. We’ve just dropped the kids off at school and right now, Tristian is driving us out of the school compound. The car is suddenly so quiet now as the kids are off and I can bet
Dahlia’s. Dahlia’s Pov, I hate to say this but Carlton is like the best chef and teacher I’ve met in my entire life. I’ve been literally smitten by the impeccable way he’s lecturing the students and handling the culinariy so far. It’s like he had been cooking from his mother’s belly and he was born to lecture it. We started at the basic of cooking today. And we started off with French fries. So far, Carlton had enthusiastically taken the students through each step, breaking it into unit that even I am learning from him. He seem to have of pool of secret tips and several alternatives for time managing which he had dished out to the student. The moment had totally overwhelmed me that I never knew I had been smiling sheepishly… At Carlton… and it’s not fake. I only fall back to the moment when I see marigold shooting glares at me as she’s clenching on to the knife she’s suppose to be using to dice the Irish potatoes. Other students are busy dicing their potatoes but there she
“It is a good time?” Carlton inquires and it doesn’t take time for it to register that he’s referring to what I had told me this morning at the office. I had told him I’ve a suspect but we’ve decide to hold the class first before talking about it. “Yeah, you might dismiss this but I think marigold is the culprit.” I blurts out and that hits Carlton like a boob. He goes dumbstruck for like a whole minute as if trying to register what I just said. “Are you sure? Of what you are saying?” Not bleating around the bush, I relays my analysis to him. But carlton doesn’t buy it. “I strongly think it’s a co-incident. Yeah marigold has that tattoo but that doesn’t mean she’s linked to that guy. Beside would her friends be sharing the same tattoo with her except they are forming a cult and marigold isn’t part of it. I know marigold is the worst kind of evil but she isn’t capable of murder.” “For someone who could frame her own sister for a crime she didn’t commit, She can do even wor
Marigold POV, Dahlia played a fast one on me. That bitch! My grip clench tight on my Tab as I am glaring hard at the video footage playing out on it. The footage of Carlton and Dahlia. I can’t believe that the two morons did practically nothing but just talk. My Anger isn’t really of dahlia and Carlton not fucking each other. It’s the fact that the bitch played me for a fool. Yesterday, after the inevitable one night stand I had with Alan, something clicked inside me. Despite the enlargement of Alan’s cock and the rough way he handled my pussy, he still couldn’t satisfy my beastly appetite. At that moment, I knew something was off and a part of me drove me to check out the CCTV at the area where I spiked dahlia’s drink. I wanted to be sure I didn’t made a mistake and the CCTV affirmed that I didn’t. I was sure to hand dahlia the spiked drink but from the footage, I discovered the bitch switched the drink. Which automatically meant that I drank the sexual stimula met just for her. A
Dahlia’s POV, After breaking out of the confinement with the help of the hammer, I and Carlton rushed to the hall. To our surprise, the hall was empty denoting that the party has ended. My kids weren’t in sight. Panic was already beginning to crawl into me when Carlton suggests we check the other building for the kids. My parents has two building. This hall designed for events and then their mansion which was a distant walk away from the mansion. It didn’t strike me that my parents would take my kids in because I know all their niceties towards me had been a charade. However when I and Carlton barge into the mansion, we meet a lively ambience, my parents and some of their business partners are at the dinning eating and chattering, while my kids and Andre are right at one part of the couch. I can’t explain the amount of relief that wash through me. My presence makes my kids lit up and jumps up running towards me. “Mummy!!!” The light commotion gets to the other occupants of the room
“Honestly, you are just wasting your time dahlia.” Carlton say as I’m relentlessly banging the closed door. My lungs feel patched now from all the screaming I’ve been doing but that still doesn’t stop me. In fact I’m not stopping anytime soon until someone get us out of here. And God help marigold if anything happens to my kids out there, Especially Gianna whom I can’t even give account of her whereabouts. From the moment the entrance door shut close, I knew this was all marigold’s scheme. “Anyone out there!!! We are stuck in here?!!!” I scream my lungs out, follow next is my fist slamming furiously against the door. Aside from worrying about my kids, I can’t handle the idea of being stuck in an enclosed compartment with Carlton. I may have been all tough and all but there’s still that prickle of me that can’t stand the sight of him… Not just about the hatred this time but something else. I’m getting almost too comfortable with him and I hate it. However after screaming and
I’m straddling my crutch by clamping my thighs tightly—the hypersexual sensation gets worse by the second. I’m already suffering from swollen breasts, numb nipples, and bolts of sex scenes shooting into the back of my head, but I play it cool even though I’m hopelessly knotted up. “Where’s Chloe? Get her out here; we need to talk,” I say Annabel and Cynthia, checking through my phone. “Umm… she took so much alcohol and has since been puking her brains out in the toilet. I don’t think she’s gonna come out now,” Cynthia replies. I have to nibble my problems, and now this. With a quick sigh, I walk past her and slam at the toilet door. “Hey, Chloe, you in there?” She mutters something back immediately, then I hear a rush of watery particles that I assume spew out of her throat or ass—I can’t tell. “Yeah, Marigold, I’m good… just gimme five—ugh,” she says, then keeps gagging for about two minutes. Finally, she flushes and comes outside. Chloe is a mess, but one look at me and she

I glance at Gianna. I need her back with the family. She already serves her purpose—luring her mother away from the crowd and into a trap. And with how much I dose Dahlia with sex-arousal pills, it’s still surprising why it’s not taking effect already. As we leave the attic, I meet with the rest of the quadruplets and Grayson—no, Griffin… Grayson? Ugh, not that it matters. I just give them their little sister back, and one of them hugs me, tightly wrapping himself around my leg and refusing to let go. “Thank you, Aunty Marigold…” I feel a cringe-worthy sensation running through my spine. I nudge him aside with a repulsive glare. “Get off. That’s enough.” He took his corrections and backed away, then told them to follow me. They all fall in line—except Gianna. She is being too headstrong, but regardless, she escorts her brothers out of the hall. I need them out of my sight as soon as possible. Ascending the staircase, I feel a real tingle in my vagina. I pause to breathe. A raw
Marigold’s POV, Once the deed is done, I give a sideways look, clear my thoughts, and head back to the party. To everyone else squirming about, nothing has changed—at least for now. I know better than to look suspicious. If anyone asks, just give them excuses. I have to stop after a brief muscle spasm in the lobby. My belly is growling, and I feel soaked for some reason—like a slush of liquid rubbing against my legs while I walk. I stop by a corner, slide my fingers between my legs, and pull up my dress. I'm drenched in my own juice, feeling the sexual urge to fucking thrust my fingers into myself. But… no, it's probably the alcohol. I've been drowning too much. This is all Chloe and Brenda’s fault. You know what? Just… just ignore it. And I do. Well, I try to. I make my way closer to the crowd, using my phone to track what is happening between Dahlia and Carlton in the compartment. But they seem uninterested in what I have planned. Rather, the two are busy hassling to get
“Is there a problem?” Panic from no where sinks into me. On impulse, I think of my kids which I left in his watch. “Not really, he just…” “Mummy,” Tiny voices interrupts Chloe and we turn to see four kids walking towards our direction. Andre and my three boys. Gianna isn’t with them and noting the frantic look on they faces, my pulse increase. “Mummy, It’s… it’s Gianna. We can’t find her.” “What?!” Between my heart and me, I don’t know which one leaps first. “What happened?” I ask as I’m flying up from the seat. “I don’t know, some lady came to us after uncle Carlton excused himself from where we were all gathered. She said you demanded for us except for Gianna. We left Gianna behind and followed the lady but at some point the lady walked too fast and missed up in the crowd. We went back to the table and we couldn’t find Gianna anymore. We had been searching for Gianna and luckily we found you here. Mommy I’m scared.” Gavin my eldest son narrates everything in one breath.
“So, what do you care for? Brandy? Whiskey? Champagne?!” Marigold ask hyper energetically as we are walking through different guest heading to wherever marigold is leading me to. “Or wait… I know what you like. Whiskey” She squeals energetically like the marigold I used to know from kids. “Well, I don’t…” “Hello Blenda,” marigold sudden hollering cuts me off as we stops before a Lady looking glam. “Meet my sister Dahlia.” She says. “And dahlia, this is blenda one of our business partners. You know her?” I don’t know if it’s just me, but everything marigold does looks so much like a game to me and I’m very sure that the Brenda lady saw through her facade, because she reacts to marigold with a frown. “Well, I don’t think…I know her.” I replies marigold dryly and turns to Brenda feigning a smile as I’m not in the mood. “… But it’s nice to meet you Brenda. You look great. I love your necklace.” “Yeah, nice. Thank you Barrister dahlia.” Brenda replies with a slur, looking from
