“I will have the same thing he had,” I said, swallowing my pride. My voice sounded steadier than I felt, each word tasting bitter on my tongue.

“Okay, ma’am, I’ll be back in a jiffy,” the waitress said with a practiced smile, her eyes flicking between us curiously before she turned and walked away. The scent of her floral perfume lingered for a moment, a brief distraction from the tension.

I looked away, focusing on the patterned tiles of the café floor. The last thing I wanted was to meet Joshua’s gaze. I could feel his eyes on me, an almost tangible pressure against my skin. The air between us was thick with unspoken words and unresolved anger, a heavy blanket that threatened to smother me.

“You still haven’t collected your hair though,” Joshua’s voice cut through the silence, each word a sharp needle pricking at my patience.

I gritted my teeth, the muscles in my jaw tightening painfully. He couldn’t let a single moment pass without taunting me, could he? His words were like sand

    LYDIA’s POV “Daughter of a fucking bitch!” Claire thought she was all that, but I swear it, I was going to put her in her place. I watched from the window as she and Joshua headed out for work, her presence beside him looking oddly out of place. It should have been me standing there with him, a shining bride at his side. But no matter. I knew it might take time, but I was determined to win Jay back at all costs. He is mine and mine alone. I couldn’t shake the feeling that Claire had done something to manipulate him into marriage. I remembered how he used to look at me when we were younger, whenever I visited Emma with my elder sister. His gaze had always lingered a moment too long, a silent promise of something more. Now, as I watched them stand together, I felt a surge of bitterness, mixed with determination and my blood boiled rage. Claire might have managed trick him into marrying her, but I knew deep down he still cared for me. I would practically bide my time, wait for the righ

    EMMA’S POV “I am right behind you, Ly,” I whispered, clasping my hands around Lydia’s arms. Her beauty was mesmerizing—her sparkling eyes reflected a calmness and gentleness that made her a perfect match for Joshua. The thought of an old, conniving hag ruining my family filled me with determination. I wouldn’t allow it. Lydia’s delicate frame trembled slightly under my touch, a testament to the whirlwind of emotions she must have been feeling. Her soft, fragrant hair brushed against my cheek as I leaned closer. “I know you love Joshua deeply, and I am certain you will win this fight against that wretched woman. But you must be cautious at the office. I don’t trust her, not one bit. She’s very dangerous and cunning. You can see it in her eyes—there’s something off about her. From the first day I saw her, I knew she wasn’t genuine.” I stared into Lydia’s eyes, trying to convey the urgency and sincerity of my words. Her eyes, usually so full of warmth, now held a flicker of fear. She

    EMMA’S POV “Mom, what’s wrong?” I asked quickly, my heart pounding faster, each beat echoing my growing worry. I reached for her hand, cold and trembling in mine. She kept crying, shaking her head like she was trying to shake off a heavy weight she couldn't bear any longer. “I have failed, Emma. I’ve failed as a mother, and I’ve failed your father too,” she sobbed, her voice thick with despair. Her tears streamed down her cheeks, catching the dim light of the hallway, making them glisten like tiny, sorrowful stars. “Mom, no,” I whispered, gently guiding her into the room and closing the door behind us. The room seemed to shrink, the walls pressing in as her sorrow filled the space, wrapping around us like a suffocating blanket. “I tried so hard to keep everything together, to be strong for all of you,” she continued, her voice breaking with each word, the pain in her tone tearing through the air. “But I’ve let you down. I’ve let everyone down.” Her words cut through me, her raw pa

    “You mean this is the man that your husband has an affair with?” John asked, his eyes widening in shock. Claire nodded her head in affirmation, her expression a mix of sorrow and resignation. John could hardly believe what he had just discovered. His jaw dropped, and his eyes widened further as he stared at Claire, then back at the photo on his phone. The image was of Jeffery. What was really happening? The weight of the revelation hit John like a punch to the gut, leaving him reeling. “For how long has their relationship been going on? Or better yet, when did you find out?” John asked, his voice trembling slightly. His head was still buzzing with the discovery, a cacophony of confusion and disbelief. This was beyond what he had expected, far beyond the realm of his imagination. Claire wrinkled her face and narrowed her eyes in confusion. “I don’t really know when exactly, but it’s been a long time. The fir

    MIA’S POV"This will be your office," Joshua announced as we stepped inside. The room was a marvel, impeccably furnished with luxurious details that spoke of elegance and sophistication. My breath caught in my throat as I took it all in.I stood at the threshold, my eyes drifting from one corner to the other, each detail drawing me deeper into a silent awe. The polished wooden desk, the plush chairs, the shelves lined with books and ornaments – it was all too much to take in at once. Lost in the grandeur, I forgot Joshua's presence beside me and stepped back, my heel landing squarely on his foot.I spun around, my heart leaping to my throat as our eyes met. His cold, piercing gaze bore into me, a stark difference to the casual smile he had worn just minutes ago at the restaurant. The memory of his scornful look as I ate his food resurfaced, making my stomach churn with a mix of embarrassment and anger."I a..." I stammered, words tumbling out in a disjointed mumble before I swallowed

    MIA’S POV “You can call your boss to ask him whether he told me to get the keys or not, but let me make one thing clear” I moved closer and stared firmly “as soon as Joshua, my husband, agrees that he already gave me permission, just know that you are losing your job because you called me a liar,” I boldly said to the driver, who was finding it hard to give me the keys to Joshua’s car. My voice was steady, each word a hammer striking an anvil.He looked at me, dumbfounded, his eyes wide with confusion and fear. The air between us was hot and steamy, deep down I hoped he would fall for my drama. “Sorry, ma’am,” he finally managed, his voice a meek whisper as he bowed slightly and handed the keys to me. His hands fluttered slightly, the keys jangling softly like a reluctant deed.My manipulation sure did work. I showed a firm face, the mask of authority, and entered the car, keeping a frown, but deep down, I was smiling broadly. It had been years since I had driven a car. The leathe

Her eyes followed me as I stood, a stern frown on my face as I heaved a deep sigh.“Every day, I can’t find peace because I remember the traumatic moments I spent here in this hellhole. The trauma that bastard made me face. I have outlined a plan on how I will make him pay for everything,” I snarled, gritting my teeth as I spoke.My eyes turned away from Olivia, slowly narrowing back to her. She seemed chilled but eager to hear what I had to say.“I do not want Marcus to know that I have left here,” I said coldly. “I want him to be blind and oblivious to the fact that I got out o

    MIA’S POV“Use my card,”I stammered, a bit shakily as I handed my card to the saleswoman who was carefully packaging up her new phone. The overhead fluorescent lights stuttered, bathig the slick counters and ranks of devices with their near clinical glow. There was the faint smell of plastic and new electronics mixing with staccato conversations from customers that wandered in, paired off now and then by beeps coming from further into department stores.I was getting nervous and each beat of my heart intensifying as I was looking forward to the time when I could have a grip on my new phone. Finally I can browse the web and look at my kid. Time and time again, I was somewhat pulled the sweet voice of my child as that innocent— yet adorable face fills into my mind streaming down with joy in one hand but on the other side creates a sense overpowering emptines.

    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.
