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
“How long will you keep pretending with that pathetic thief? Come to me, where you belong. I’ve always been the only man who truly deserves you.” Carlos’ intense gaze pierced through me, his voice a raw, unyielding command. I stood frozen, my hand unconsciously cradling my pregnant belly. I frowned at him, the small smile I had disappearing. “Carlos, I value our friendship, but my loyalty is to my husband. Don’t ever disrespect him or me again. Disrespecting him is disrespecting me.” Carlos didn’t flinch, his confident gaze unwavering. “Mia, can you just listen to me? I’ve loved you for so long. Please, give me a chance. That poor fool doesn’t deserve you!” “Are you serious right now?” I couldn’t help but raise my voice. “I’m six months pregnant! What is wrong with you?” “I know, but I don’t care. I’ll take care of you and the baby. I’ll pay Marcus off, whatever it takes. I just want you so badly,” Carlos pleaded, his strong cologne making my head swim. “Enough, Carlos! I lov
Marcus gawked at me, still partially inside Eunice, with little shock on his face as our eyes met. I felt pain, anguish, and disdain wash over me. He still had his hand on Eunice. He smirked and continued striding. What was happening? Was I dreaming?My jaw dropped. Marcus continued with Eunice, her moans matching the classical music in the room. Was this a pregnancy hallucination? No, it was real. I watched Marcus climax inside another woman—his cousin—their sweat mingling."Enjoying the show?" Marcus said as he finally pulled out of Eunice, standing in front of me, completely nude and sweaty.My throat tightened, a scream trapped inside. My mouth opened, but no sound came out. I needed someone to snap me out of the dream, but no one did, because it wasn't a dream."What did you just do? Tell me this was a dream, Marcus," I managed to speak with a lump in my throat. My whole body trembled, goosebumps covering me.Marcus ignored my question, filling a glass of water and drinking it wi
“What are you talking about? I didn’t kill anyone,” I cried out, but no one listened to my plea.I was bewildered; none of it made any sense. I had just seen Eunice, yet now I was being accused of her death. Despite my desperate pleas, heart pounding, I was taken to the police station and interrogated.“Why did you kill her?” the bearded police officer in front of me asked, a cigarette dangling from his lips.“I swear to you, I did not kill Eunice. Please believe me. Please,” I folded my hands in tears, my voice breaking.How did I get myself into this situation? I asked myself repeatedly.“Your fingerprints are on the weapon you used to kill her. What do you have to say about that?” the officer asked.My eyes widened in confusion. None of it made sense. The room seemed to close in on me as I stared at the inspector, his words echoing in my mind."My... my fingerprint? On what weapon?" My body trembled, my back aching even more.“Where were you before going to the penthouse?” the insp
“Clear the field!”“Wash the dishes!”“Paint the wall!”These were the ranges of things I heard and did on a daily basis. It was my new life. Since the day I stepped into this prison, my life had never remained the same. I was paying for a crime I never committed in the first place. Each day I cried myself to sleep, and each day, my pain grew into immense hate. All I wished for was a chance to pay Marcus back for all that he did to me.All I had shown Marcus in our lives together as a couple was love and nothing more. I went out of my way to please him, and what I got in return was betrayal for a crime I never committed.It had been three months since I was locked up and paying the debt that I never collected. My life was ruined, and all my hopes and aspirations went down the drain. Never again would I love, I thought. But then, who would even give me the chance to love again, or would I love in my old age? I had a whopping forty years to spend in prison.The relentless sun beat down
“I don’t have time for jokes. Leave!” I snapped, my frustration boiling over. I turned my eyes away from him and focused them back on the giant wooden cross at the altar.“Here is the check. Just marry me and you can become a billionaire if you so wish,” the man presented a check to me, his voice disturbingly calm.My face contorted with anger. “Who do you think you are? Can you please just let me be?” I spat, my voice rising.“I am Joshua Hensaw, CEO of Hensaw’s group of companies,” the man’s voice echoed in my ears, dripping with unshakeable confidence.Immediately, my eyes narrowed.“Hensaw,” I muttered to myself. The name rang a distant bell. I squinted, trying to dredge up the memory. “Voila!” My eyes widened in sudden realization. This surely was a dream.“You are The Joshua Hensaw? Son of Hensaw McDonald?” I asked, astonished.Joshua nodded. “Yes.”Immediately, I knew who I was talking to. I had come across the name, Hensaw Group of Companies, even when I was in prison. They we
Joshua and I gawked at each other while he still hesitated to answer my question. The kids clung to him tightly.“Answer me,” I demanded, my eyes weakened with frustration.If Joshua was already married with two kids, why did he marry me? What was going on? My heart pounded so quickly. Had I been deceived yet again by a man, just like in the past? I desperately hoped not.Before Joshua could respond, another voice cut in.“Jay, you're back!” A beautiful woman, who seemed to be in her mid-sixties, descended the glassy stairs.She bore a striking resemblance to Joshua. She wore a gorgeous black gown, and her dark hair cascaded over her shoulders. She stopped in front of us with a striking height.“Mom,” Joshua said softly, slanting his head to kiss her on both cheeks.She smiled at Joshua, then turned to me with a sick glare as if we had been enemies from birth. Her eyes made me feel like garbage. She had the same cold stare that Joshua had.“Good day, ma’am,” I greeted, the awkwardness
“Let go, Emma,” Joshua’s voice vibrated in the room while the angry-looking woman grabbed my hand and was pulling me out of the room.Emma flamed a stare at Joshua’s hand, which was holding hers firmly. “You are holding me? What is wrong with you, Jay?” Emma wagged her head with a wrinkled forehead.I was in the middle of all this and I was far from terrified. “She is my wife, let go of her,” Joshua said slowly and confidently.“Your wife?” Emma dimmed her eyes and looked all astonished.I looked at him because the sound of him saying that was ecstatic. As much as I knew it was just an act, it still freaked me out. Emma, on the other hand, didn’t say anything further. She stared at Joshua intently and then looked at me with a hiss before she freed her grip on my hand and yanked her hand out of Joshua’s grip.I softly rubbed my hand, which was red then. “What is going on here, Joshua? You got married to… this old, tattered-looking thing? Some kind of joke, isn’t it?” Emma looked at me

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
“So what is the situation back there?” Asher bashes Ma Trisha with his questions. she looks at me and then right back at him. I know from her looks that what prolly happened was out of the ordinary. She looks very pale and her eye can actually speak out the full story. I thrutch backwards and allow her move forward. She sighs but still on, she doesn’t say a word. I ponder in my heart wondering nd what king her she going her kind and what hodge might have gone through but I still can’t still figure it out. “It was a lot”she manages to spit out at last. I can only but imagine all that she went through. I can literally pick out the pain from her voice. “Please tell me more” Asher says with the utmost urge to want to know what happened. He is gritting his teeth right now with his hands clenched firmly. She doesn’t speak further. She continues to ogle at the both of us as though we are the one who are expected to speak and explain. I lock my lips and gulp down saliva while I allow
" 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. " Oh okay"I chortled."I will be right back, I need to get some milk" Zelda said and got up from her chair.I sighed de
"What is the plan?” Sir Luca questioned looking at us all. My eyes went to Adrain and wanted him to explain it because he made it.“ We do not really have a plan as of now because we are still not ready. Alina is the one who would be fighting Tiana…” he was still explaining when Sir lUca cut in.“ Why is it Aloka that would he going against Tiana? You should know how strong Tian is now at this moment. You know she is a witch and Also a balck wolf. I really do not think it is that great an idea for Alina to be the one that fights Tiana. I think you should be the one because she still has a soft spot For You and you can use that as namn upper hand to get her” Sur lUca said. In as much as I didn't want to get pissed but then I felt awkward. He sounded a though I was worthless.“ Let me out, let me show this Asshole what I am made of '' Maddy roared at me. The tone with which she used in vocalizing made me chuckle slightly.“Alina is the best person to go against Tiana not me because she
