“Come in,” I finally got hold of my tongue, my voice barely steady as I still stared at Emma with uncertain eyes.

Before I could finish my sentence, Emma pushed me away from the entrance of the room and shoved her way inside. “The audacity to tell me to come into my own brother’s room in my house as though she owns anything here,” Emma scoffed, her eyes flashing with anger as she stormed into the room.

I gritted my teeth tightly, trying to contain the anger that was boiling inside me. Lydia also stepped inside the room with her hands folded and placed on her chest.

“She thinks she’s a superstar after forcefully marrying my Jay,” Lydia slashed at me, eyeing me up and down as though I was some disgusting thing.

My breath came in shallow, ragged bursts as I stood beside the door where Emma had pushed me to. My heart pounded in my chest, a thunderous beat that echoed my rising fury. I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms as I tried to keep my composure.

    “Om Shanti Shanti Shanti.”I chanted the mantra slowly, and each repetition was a soothing rhythm that calmed my racing mind. With my eyes closed, I focused on the sound of my own breath, inhaling deeply to draw in the cool air and exhaling slowly to release the tension that had built up throughout the day. The mantra was a lifeline, grounding me in the present moment and offering a respite from the relentless drama that had surrounded me after Emma and Lydia’s left.As their tumultuous presence faded from the room, a sense of quiet settled around me like a comforting embrace after all their threats. They had no inkling that I had chosen to remain here, steadfast in my resolve to see through my mission of ending Marcus’s influence once and for all. The thought of their ignorance brought a fleeting sense of satisfaction amidst the mess.I sighed deeply, opening my eyes to the lit room. The soft glow of the bulbs cast gentle shadows across the walls, creating a serene atmosphere that c

    “Where is Joshua? He’s not back yet?” Cole asked suddenly, his voice breaking through the tense silence. His question caught me off guard, diverting my thoughts away from the food momentarily.“No, he’s not,” I replied reluctantly, the weight of the unspoken reasons dangling heavily between us.Cole’s expression darkened, his concern deepening into a frown. “Why is that? Have you tried calling him?” His questions were direct, probing into the deeper realm I wasn’t ready for.“I actually can’t call him because I had a problem with my phone. He took it to fix it, but he hasn’t returned it to me yet,” I explained, trying to sound composed despite the rapid thumping of my heart.The weight of my fabricated lie hung heavy in the air as Cole stood there, his expression a mix of understanding and concern.Cole’s brow furrowed slightly, his eyes searching mine for any sign of deceit. I held his eyes, willing myself to appear convincing. The seconds stretched into an eternity as uncertainty c

    “Where have you been, Joshua?” The question slipped out of my mouth before I could stop it, fueled by a mix of concern and frustration.Joshua whipped around to face me, his eyes blazing with fury. “How dare you?! How dare you think you have the right to ask me questions!” His voice thundered through the room, the anger palpable in every word. His sudden outburst caught me off guard, and I recoiled slightly, unsure if it was my question that had triggered such a vehement reaction.Confusion mingled with my growing frustration. I had only asked out of concern, yet his response was far more intense than I had anticipated. Silence settled heavily between us, broken only by the sound of my own breathing and the faint hum of the ceiling fan above.“I just wanted to know where you were, since you were gone for so long,” I replied calmly, though my emotions churned beneath the surface.Joshua shot up from the bed, his eyes blazing with fury. “Who are you to think you can ask me questions ab

    I was all ready for the office, glancing at myself in the mirror. I couldn’t help but admire how confident and composed I appeared. Despite Marcus’s attempts to derail my life, I felt a sense of triumph in seeing my true self reflected. Ten years spent in prison had prepared me for this opportunity to reclaim what Marcus had taken. It was a second chance granted by answered prayers, a chance to finally confront Marcus and reclaim my life.As I straightened myself in the mirror, memories flooded my mind like a torrential storm. The cold, metallic clang of cell doors, the suffocating stale air of confinement—these were the constants of my past. Now, in the crisp morning light filtering through the window, I felt a surge of determination mingled with nerves.“Let’s go,” Joshua’s husky voice broke the uneasy silence that had settled between us like a heavy fog. I turned slowly to face him, my gaze momentarily captured by how impeccably he was dressed. Despite the lingering tension from o

    “I’m sorry to interrupt,” Lydia finally spoke, her voice barely above a whisper, “but Jay, Mom said you should come downstairs for breakfast.” Her eyes, still pinned on me, were a window to her soul, reflecting the pain and agony she was experiencing. I could see her struggling to keep her composure, the raw emotion flickering in her gaze.“I know you apologized,” I interjected before Joshua could reply, my tone dripping with sarcasm, “but next time, don’t burst into a married couple’s room without knocking. What if we were having sex?” I emphasized, letting the words hang in the air, thick with implication. Lydia’s face twisted with a mix of embarrassment and anger, a stark contrast to the peaceful morning light filtering through the curtains. Her cheeks flushed, a deep crimson spreading across her face like wildfire.“The door was open,” Lydia gritted her teeth angrily, her eyes narrowing into dangerous slits. Her voice trembled slightly, betraying the rage simmering beneath the su

    “I wanted to tell you that I want to work in the company as well, as an intern,” Lydia said, her voice carrying a tone of casual indifference that barely masked her true intentions. My eyes narrowed in shock at her unexpected declaration. She continued, seemingly unaffected by my reaction, “I am on a long break from school, so it won’t be bad if I keep myself busy while working in the company.”I couldn’t tear my gaze away from Lydia’s face, scrutinizing her with a mix of disbelief and suspicion. Her features seemed to twist with a subtle satisfaction, her lips curving into a sly smile that made my stomach churn with unease. Anger simmered beneath the surface as I realized the true reason behind her request. She wasn’t interested in the internship for personal growth or experience—she wanted to be close to Joshua, to insinuate herself into his professional life just as she had infiltrated our personal space at home.I smirked bitterly, my eyes flicking momentarily to Joshua, who rem

    Joshua’s brow furrowed as he sensed the shift in my demeanor. Quickly retracting his hand into his pants pocket, he moved towards the door, his expression a blend of annoyance and weariness from the drama that had unexpectedly unfolded with Lydia.“Are you serious about us not having dinner?” I questioned abruptly, halting Joshua in his tracks.“Us? I don’t recall being your spokesperson. I distinctly said I wasn’t hungry. Did I pluralize it?” Joshua retorted, his tone laced with a sting of arrogance and a hint of sarcasm. I clenched my teeth in frustration; his insistence on asserting independence grated on my nerves like nails on a chalkboard.“You know I can’t even begin to imagine breakfast downstairs without you,” I murmured wistfully, my voice carrying a yearning that matched the ache in my empty stomach. The mere thought of facing the day without his company felt like traversing a barren desert, devoid of the warmth of companionship. As if on cue, a deep, resonant growl erupted

    Joshua remained silent, ignoring my question and any attempt at eye contact as he switched off the engine and stepped out of the car. “Why is he always so damn rude?” I muttered under my breath, frustration simmering as I watched him move around to open the door for me.My eyes widened in disbelief. Joshua, opening the car door for me? It was a gesture so unexpected that it threw me off balance for a moment. Gathering myself, I stepped out of the car, clutching my handbag in one hand while the other carefully maneuvered my gown. Wearing heels after a decade felt like a new challenge altogether, their unfamiliar weight adding to my already frazzled state.“Let’s go,” Joshua’s voice broke through my thoughts, his hand extended towards me. I hesitated, skepticism warring with curiosity, before tentatively placing my hand in his. He intertwined his fingers with mine, and together we walked towards the restaurant entrance, a facade of harmony masking the underlying tension between us. To o

    Authors POV Mia was in her room the next morning. She was pondering on her encounter with her supposed arch enemy, John. She sat on the bed, feeling much better than she felt the other night.The flashback of how John came so close to her yesterday stuck to her brain. It was a feeling that she couldn’t explain, just like genuine love, but she didn’t think it was love, probably immense disgust.Her hands wrapped around her chest, she sat on the bed silently and also strayed her thoughts to the new bride, or rather old wife as she claimed. The colossal part of Mia felt she overreacted about the whole situation. Why was she even angry? Was she married to Him or was he entitled to telling her about his past life? Irrespective of this incongruent thought of hers, she still felt bad, or rather angry.“Good day, ma’am”. A voice popped from outside which was accompanied with a knock on the door. It was the new cook “Yes, please come in” The cook came in with a tray in his hand. It had the

    My heart raced so fast when Lucifer walked into the room. Thankfully, before he walked in, I collected Rogers hoodie and wore. I was sure he saw him when he came in and that’s why he came to my room. Lucifer never visited me so late at night, so the red flag was very glaring.I managed to convince him and he left the room not so suspicious. Thanks to God that my ears are very sharp and I heard the creaking floor boards as he approached. I guess God was on my side too.“That was a close one” I sighed with my hand pressing my chest after he left. Rogers who hid behind the curtains also came out.“You need to leave now!!” I snapped at him as he tried grabbing my arm romantically.“ and why should I?” He held my cheeks and tried kissing me but I tossed him aside.“Don’t do that again… please” he dragged and looked at me sternly. I looked back at him and held my breathe. A little bit of fear gripped me as I remembered what I had seen in his house. The drugs I saw made me a little terrified

    " hi, Mister," A young chap greeted me with the Spanish accent. He was a bright looking boy. He had a confused smile on his face. With his blonde short hair." Good day Chap, you must be Jose ain't it?"I queried and squatted down to his level. He stared at me befuddled, but then I was smiling at him. He had a clear face and did have semblance with his father."Yes I'm Jose, how do you know my name, Mister?" He questioned with a childish voice. His left eye was slightly closed. I was about to answer, when there was a thunder clap.I looked upwards and the clouds where forming and sure a heavy rain was about wetting the soil."nada de qué preocuparse, chico (Nothing to worry about boy)" I said in Spanish. I scoffed and placed my hand on his face. " Jose, con quién estás hablando? (Jose who are you talking to?)" A feminine voice resounded from behind.

    " Why did you summon us all? Brad snapped at me. It was the next day after I came back from Carl's house and I summoned everyone to the living room for a pack meeting. Carl was also invited but he hadn't arrived then."Just wait for Carl, there is something important I have to discuss and share with everyone." I said while Brad folded his hand gloating at me.The whole pack members were gathered and itching to hear what I had in store. Usually, I always did the listening but this time, doing the speaking did come with some ecstatic feeling."I don't have the whole fucking day Alina, you either speak now or I will waltz out of here."Brad bawled pointing his hand at me. My hands were now folded."Calm down Brad, she has never asked for permission to speak so give her this one chance"Lady Macbeth said. She seized a moment with my glare. We gaped at each other and she nodded first with a smile and blinked her eyes for about half a minute."Okay then" Brad said and sat back on his seat.

    "I Armnado Luca, this day reject you, Elsa Roland as my mate" These were the words of Armando, my mate or rather my Ex mate now. It was my twentieth birthday and everything was going smoothly before this happened. Ironically, the party was hosted and organized by Armando unknown to me that he had a hidden agendum. Tears filled my eyes on hearing this and I stared deeply into his eyes and I saw no remorsefulness in him but rather he looked all serious." Armando, what is this, you are joking with me right? '' I playfully said and touched his arms as he was used to playing silly pranks on me and so i thought it was one of them. But unfortunately, my thought was not it and so it just remained my thought alone and not his."I am very serious Elsa. This is not a joke" He sternly uttered to me. My eyes became watery and my breathe ceased for some seconds. How was it even possible that Armando who had only shown me love would do this to me publicly. He was actually holding a microphone when

    " You stand there and tell me you are sorry?" I bellowed. I brought the knife very close to his neck. He stayed there and moved not. "I do not care what you want to do with me. I know whatever comes my way from you, I really do deserve it. I was a son of a bitch and treated you like scum. You did everything to please me, but I was too stupid to have seen it." He voiced with a shaky voice that passed so many emotions, like a strummed guitar. His hands are still pointing downwards. His eyes quirked a second. I glared at him for seconds. My hands trembled as I had a very strong grasp on the knife. My face contorted and my eyes narrowed. All I felt in me was total bitterness. I really felt the urge to stab him but I was trying so hard to resist the demon." I just feel like killing you Rogers!!!! " I growled and placed the side of the sharp knife to his throat. I pressed slowly, but then it tipped on his neck. Suddenly blood started dripping little by little. I gnashed my teeth and wa

    "When we have cookies, I play a game with her", Zelda said smiling and also relaxed on a seat." Game? What game is that?" I inquired, quite eager to find out what it was. My hands were laid on the table and eyes fixed on Mrs Zelda."It's a kind of questioning and truth" she said." Do you mean truth or dare?" "No, not that. Now the question and truth session is slightly different from truth or dare. In this game, before you pick a Cookie, someone would ask you a question and you have to be truthful to the core to answer the questions asked or the God of cookies is gonna take the cookies away." Her mom said and I chuckled." Disclaimer, Its just fiction and it's just some fun thing I do with her . She think it's true, so I use it to get answers from her when she lies to me because she loves cookies so much" her mom whispered to me because she was seated beside me.
