“I also want you to unveil me as the Co-CEO on the day you are unveiling the face of your new branch,” I said confidently.

Joshua turned and glared at me. I could feel a burning sensation in his eyes, an intensity that made my skin prickle. His lips tightened, his jaw chiseled with tension. But then, to my surprise, he smiled softly and walked away to the bathroom.

“Should I take that as a yes?” I asked, but he didn’t respond.

His silence was enough. I knew he had accepted. Finally, I was getting closer to my goal. I understood that I needed to take some drastic and manipulative steps before I could achieve what I wanted.

I sunk into the couch and reclined my neck backward, closing my eyes for a moment. My heart pounded faster as the image of Marcus with Eunice flashed in my mind. I clenched my fists and gritted my teeth. That memory was a scar on my heart. Even when I didn’t want to remember it, it always came back on its own to haunt me, fueling my resolve with a burning intensity.

    “Just give me your phone!” I ordered, not minding that he was bare-chested. I crossed my arms around my cleavage, trying to maintain a semblance of composure despite the bare tension hanging in the air.I was teeming with frustration, and all I wanted was Joshua’s phone so I could see my child. The longing to see my child was almost unbearable.Joshua, without saying a word, stood up from the bed, his presence dominating the room. Our eyes locked, his towering figure casting a shadow over me. His green eyes bore into mine, a mix of curiosity and challenge flickering within them.“And what makes you think you can order me around, Mrs. Claire Hensaw?” he quizzed, his frown deepening, etching lines of defiance across his face.The air between us crackled with an unspoken intensity. My heart pounded in my chest, a wild rhythm that echoed my desperation. The room felt smaller, the walls closing in as Joshua’s gaze held me captive. His proximity was overwhelming, his body radiating warmth t

    After breakfast, I had returned to my room while Joshua went to work. The moments of quiet and tranquility enveloped me like a warm, comforting blanket. I finally laid on the bed since Joshua was not around. As much as I never wanted to get close to Joshua, his bed was so comfy, and I could not help but give in to the urge to lie on it. The mattress seemed to cradle my body perfectly, offering a softness that felt like a gentle embrace.With my hands spread wide, my thoughts drifted back to my moments in the cell. It was a bittersweet emotion that washed over me. I had learned that many people who were locked up did not really commit the crimes they were accused of, and I was a perfect example. I wished fervently that I could have averted that fate, but I guessed it happened for a reason. In all my years in prison, not once did Marcus visit me, nor did his conscience prick him.As I lay there, the silence of the room was punctuated by the rhythmic ticking of the clock, each second a

    I should have known that Joshua wouldn’t have allowed me the chance to leave the house so easily. I gulped down a wad of saliva, feeling it slide uncomfortably down my throat, and used the back of my hand to wipe the sweat from my forehead. Anxiety and frustration swirled within me, tightening my chest.“But…” I began, about to push further despite knowing it would likely be a waste of time since Joshua had probably instructed him not to leave with me. Before I could finish my statement, the front door opened, and another guard quickly entered the car. My heart sank, and a wave of dread washed over me.“What is going on?” I asked, my brows lifting in confusion and irritation.“I’m sorry for keeping you waiting, ma’am. I was the one who called him and told him to wait behind,” the new man said, his tone calm yet authoritative.I still didn’t understand what he was talking about. “Why did you do that? I’m in haste and I do not have time to waste,” I snapped, my patience wearing thin. My

    “What is going on here? I am not a thief!” I exclaimed, my head shaking frantically as security men closed in behind me.I felt utterly lost in the whirlwind of events, my eyes darting from John Stone, the manager, to the rest of the workers who stood there watching.“I swear to you, I did not steal this. It was given to me by…” My words caught in my throat, and I bit down on my tongue to stop myself from saying more.“Damn it!” I gritted my teeth in frustration. Despite my burning desire to reveal the whole truth, I couldn’t bring myself to do it.My heart raced as adrenaline coursed through me, mingling with the bitter taste of fear in my mouth. The air around me felt thick with tension, every gaze upon me adding to the weight of accusation. I could hear murmurs and whispers from the onlookers, their curiosity and judgment palpable.John Stone’s expression was a mix of suspicion and disbelief, his eyes narrowing as he studied me. The security men behind me were silent but imposing,

    I was led by the guards to the manager’s office. My heart raced so fast, and I felt so tense, knowing I was about to meet the police. I imagined how my family would react when they received the news of my arrest. A lump formed in my throat, and there was nothing I could do to stop it.Upon entering the manager’s office, my eyes scanned the room anxiously, expecting to see the police. Instead, I saw only the manager, seated on his swivel chair behind a massive mahogany desk, a computer in front of him. The rich, dark wood of the table contrasted sharply with the bright overhead lights, casting shadows that seemed to deepen my sense of dread.“You can go,” the manager said, nodding at the guards who had brought me. They nodded back and left the office, the door closing behind them with a heavy, final thud.The room fell silent, save for the faint hum of the air conditioner. The manager’s eyes fixed on me, cold and assessing. I could feel the weight of his gaze, piercing through my defen

    “What do you mean?” I asked, my eyes narrowing in confusion. The room felt suddenly smaller, the air thick with tension. My pulse quickened, and I could feel the warmth of anxiety creeping up my neck.Joshua moved closer, his gaze penetrating mine with an intensity that made my heart thud loudly in my chest. Each step he took seemed deliberate, calculated, heightening the suspense that hung between us. “What is it?” I asked again, my voice edged with impatience and a hint of desperation.“Calm down, don’t rush me,” Joshua snapped, his voice low but sharp, slicing through the silence. His dismissive look only fueled my frustration. I clenched my teeth, feeling the strain in my jaw, and my fists tightened at my sides, nails digging into my palms.Joshua stepped back, a slow, deliberate movement, his hand brushing against his full beard as if contemplating his next words. The rough texture of his beard contrasted sharply with the smooth, cold determination in his eyes. “So, after you ru

    “Lydia?” I heard Joshua ask, his voice carrying a hint of curiosity and anticipation.I was still at that moment, but I slowly turned and cast my eyes on Joshua and Emma standing closely together. The air seemed to thicken with tension as I tried to read their expressions.“Yes, she’s in my room. She will be downstairs very soon,” Emma said with a smirk, bobbing her head frantically. I had never seen her that happy since I came. There was a glint of excitement in her eyes that I couldn’t quite decipher.I wondered who Lydia was that made Emma so happy. Was it another one of their family member? Because, obviously, the family members keep coming and coming. Just before I could wrap up my thoughts, I felt a bulge that tossed me a bit from my balance. The sensation was sudden, almost jarring, as if the very ground beneath me had shifted.I turned instinctively and saw a woman walk past me, dressed in a very body-clenching gown that held her curves so well it seemed almost sculpted onto h

    After Emma had left, I found myself lingering on the couch, her words echoing in my mind like distant whispers in a cavern. Confusion and uncertainty swirled within me, casting a shadow over my thoughts. Should I feel hurt, angry, or simply numb? It was a puzzle I couldn’t solve, and the weight of it pressed down on my chest.The call for dinner broke through my reverie, but I couldn’t muster the energy to join the others. Another round of family drama awaited at the dining table, and tonight, I just didn’t have the strength to endure it. Instead, I sank deeper into the cushions, staring absently at the patterns on the ceiling.My mind wandered aimlessly, flitting from one worry to the next like a moth seeking light in the darkness. Thoughts of Plan of ending Marcus, Emma’s threat, and Joshua’s continuous shenanigans danced in my head. Each issue tugged at my emotions, leaving me feeling adrift in a sea of uncertainty.The quiet of the room was shattered by the creak of the door, snap

    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. " Who are you?"A lady questions with weak English and Spanish accent. The lady drags Jose away from my clasp. I huffed and stared at my

    " 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.
