He begged God to send someone to save him. And the merciful God heard him, his phone buzzed from his pocket. He looked at the caller ID and he internally smirked.
It was the patriarch of the Jonas family and Jonathan's grandfather Karl Jonas. If there is someone who could keep Jonathan on his toes it was this man.
Jonathan did need to look at the phone to know who it was. He had a sour expression on his face. He gestured to Steve to bring them to him and like an obedient puppy, he ran and handed him the phone.
"Yes grandfather"
"You ungrateful son of a gun!" Jonathan was almo

Alexandra pounced on her king-sized bed after taking a quick shower like it was the best thing ever. She lay staring at the ceiling adorned with beautiful floral patterns in grey and white. Her room was blue, white-themed. Except for the ceiling each wall was decorated with wall painting all complex patterns and if you look closely you could discover a new meaning to it. It is made by an Eccedentesiast Artist who hides their pains with a smile. And the favourite part of her room was, of course, the balcony where she could admire the beautiful landscapes surrounding the villa. Her room had very large windows which were much larger than the doors. The glass was painted with several shades of glass paint. Her room was practically transparent from the outside because of the larg

Jonathan stared at the window of his private jet. The place looked tiny and he could get a clear view of the place altogether. He wondered where Alexa was currently living. He reluctantly agreed to go back to England because of his stubborn old man, and couldn't believe that he had to waste his million's worth of time courting a woman he didn't even know. He could use that time to look for Alexa, this failure chagrined him deeply. He was afraid that when he came back to the US, she would disappear without a trace. He was determined to kill the woman if that happens. There wasn't a single moment he hadn't thought about her since the time they met, utterly gorgonized by her."Wait for me my love I will come back to you I promise."----------------------------------------

She recalled the words her grandfather had said to her."Never love people more than what they deserve if you do then you are giving them the knife to stab you in the back."Those words sounded too harsh but it was the truth. The people she had blindly loved, and obeyed were the people who stabbed her in the back again and again until she had completely lost all the will to live on. Her sore, almost lifeless legs took her to the large mirror, the shattered pieces of glasses stabbing her delicate feet, bleeding it, and bloody footsteps trailed on the white floor, completely unfazed by the stinging wound.The woman before her was indeed beautiful beyond words. Eyes that seemed to be made from pure gold, her hair the darkest night, that face the finest specimen of art. She

After saying those words, Alexandra pushed him away and took a white towel from her pocket and wiped her hands. Although she had said it to insult him Halton didn't seem offended.He was more than willing to her dog if that's the last thing he can do to attain her forgiveness."I am willing to be your dog."Alexandra stopped wiping her hands and looked him in the eye. He had said this with an open heart and mind.Alexandra didn't say anything for a moment, she diverted her gaze from him and looked at the blue sky."Don't be ridiculous Halton, you are not even worthy to be my dog." Halton clenched his fists. Her words were the bitter truth that he was running away from.He had devoted half of his life to the Old Benjamin. After his death, Halton was no better than an abandoned dog. He was afraid that if Alexandra didn't accept him he might rot in grief and remorse."I know what you are feeling right no

Alexandra was rejoicing in her heart. She was pondering on how to get rid of this man the moment they arrived in London. Now she got a perfect excuse to reject this man and stay away from him. She was indeed angry that this man had insulted her but the insult came to her benefit."Since we are clear now you need not Escort me I will be going with Halton". She turned to leave.Jonathan was about to stop her but Halton stepped before him. Halton glared at him like a crazed dog."You heard her, there is no need you to Escort her. She will be leaving with me"She took her steps towards the door. It felt like the predator had finally moved away from its prey sparing its pitiful life.

After 20 minutes they arrived at the family graveyard where the funeral was held. The place was oddly calm and there was no other person present at the moment. Alexandra could even the rustling of leaves in the silence."Are we late?" Alexandra asked. There was a bunch of fresh and fragrant lilies in her hands to place on her grandfather's gravestone. She looked around and she couldn't spot another human other than them."The funeral was held privately as your grandfather had told, There was no one else other than close family members present at the funeral."

"How long are we going to wait like this?" Catherine retorted. She cringed at the man before her. It was Ernest Brown, her father's lawyer. He was determined not to do the will reading unless Alexandra was present there as well.She was biting her nail out of frustration. She didn't want to see that bastard's face. She wished that impudent child was already rotting under the sods."Mother, calm down, It's not healthy for you to be angry like this." Anasthasia tried to calm her mother."I know my sweet but I can't help it. just mentioning that bastard child makes my blood boil"Ernest Brown wanted to scowl at the mother-daughter pair.

"You can start counting your days on earth because soon you will be the victims of my wrath and I will be taking my revenge limb by limb" The grin grew wider.Catherine understood that the wider the grin the more menacing she gets. Anastasia was shivering and was gripping tightly on her mother's arm digging her nail into her skin.Both of them looked as if they had witnessed something terrifying. They witnessed the unforgivable sins they had committed. Catherine was trying hard to stand on her feet.Ernest Brown was amused by their state. They looked like two sheep who got stuck in a wolf's den. More like snakes. They were nothing but two power-hungry pythons!

One could hear in the bleak eerie hallways of the asylum the clattering of chains, as a man dragged it through the metallic floor. His black-and-white striped prisoner’s clothing had bloodstains on it. His pace was slow and wobbly because of the heavy chains attached to his legs and hands and bound skin rotting off along the rusting metal.“Sir, we brought him,” the guard said and looked keenly at the captive. He ducked his head, his lips drawn into a straight line, his eyes covered with his overgrown bangs so they could only see only the white portion of his eyes through it.“Good, bring him in.”The guard pushed open the interrogation room. A person inside could not see or listen to what was outside. The captive was silent the whole time, his eyes still down, looking at the guard’s legs as he followed and another guard closely stalking behind. In the middle of the dim room, there was a light bulb just above the wooden table, the only source of light in that entire room, with two cha

They had to gain the approval of one more person before their wedding ceremony, and that was Jonathan’s mother, Josephine.Alexandra insisted on building a better relationship with her upset mother-in-law.

Including Josaphine’s and she would not shy away from appeasing Josaphine to gain her goodwill.***The place was the classic American home. A porch, a long veranda, high rooftops, and a yard that was big as a children’s park. It seemed like Josephine liked to keep the place uncomplicated and clean.Jonathan’s mother, according to his words, was the finest cook in the world. A woman who liked to do her own chores and leave them to the housekeeper. Who dressed simply, loved handling household affairs, and went to church religiously every single Sunday and pra
Return of the CEO's Empress A happy ending?
The soft silk sheets rustled as Alexandra stretched her arm to cuddle her husband. Her core was still sore from the slow-burning, passionate sex they had all night long. Letting out a groan, she buried her face into his neck which was specked with dark stubble. Oh, how she loved his beard. The rough texture was so satisfying to caress, and the feel of a stubbled cheek grazing her between her thighs was simply titillating.As she draped her long leg around his waist, a sharp, needle-like pain shot in her womb.She lifted the duvet and to her panic; she saw two blots of bloodstains on the sheets, mocking her. Her breath shriveled up in her throat and a malaise emerged in her womb.Swinging her legs to the floor, she rushed to the bathroom and removed her panties, and inserted her finger inside her, coating them with warm blood.“You will never be a mother.” The devil hissed, drawing out its forked tongue. “You will never get back what you’ve lost.”Her hand flew to her mouth to prevent

Sunrays poured through the tall windows of the church’s bridal suite, giving the white room a golden touch. The ladies were all busy tending to the bride’s wedding dress.Evangeline could barely breathe withch her bosom caged in the tight corset. “I will die.” She wheezed, holding on to the vanity table.“Oh, you won’t! I will see to it.” Catherine said, determined to make the dress fit. It seemed perfect when they tried it out in the bridal boutique.“I will become the first person to die for fashion.” Evan joked.Alexandra laughed, listening to this as she flipped a glossy page of a fashion magazine. She closed it and approached Evan to see what was going on with the dress.“I think it would be better if we pinned it first,” Alexandra suggested.“Pass me the pin, dear,” Catherine said, holding the edges of the corset tight.Alexandra skimmed through the small box of safety pins and passed it to her mother. Catherine pressed the ends of the corset securely and pinned them together. “

TRIGGER WARNING: The following chapter may be upsetting to some viewers. It contains violence and gore.***Blackness leaked into Gabriel’s subconscious like thick tar, impeding him from registering his surroundings for a few minutes. He blinked off the bleary vision and discovered himself in a bleak chamber, tied up in a metal chair with ropes that bit into his skin. The only source of light was the pale yellow lightbulb hanging above his head.He felt brainless, as one would get when drunk on spirit. He tried to recall where he was before ending up in this place. At the police station, the officers had locked him up for several days and questioned him for evidence. The trial was still ongoing, but an anonymous bailed him, giving the officers a hefty amount to free him. Gabriel didn’t know anyone who loved him so much to bail him out of jail, even after being aware of what evils he did. The moment he got out of the police station, a masked, who had bailed him asked to join him to me

The steel door shut before Anastasia with a rude screech and an ear-splitting rhythm of metal against metal, resounding around the cell walls and into her ears like pinballs. Anastasia gripped the metal bars and squeezed herself against it. “How long will I be here?” She asked.“Until someone comes in here and bails you.” The forty-something-year-old blonde officer sneered.She had confessed all of her crimes to the police this morning and stupidly thought they would let her go home. Home? Where will she go? Mama didn’t want her anymore. Papa will soon be prosecuted for all the crimes he had done in his lifetime.Kameron probably didn’t want her anymore, since their marriage was incomplete. Silvano was her only way out of here. She hoped he would come and free her.If he still loved her.“You smell like periods.”It was then Anastasia realized she wasn’t alone. A brunette prostitute, who was past her prime, hunched in the corner on the bench, covering her knees around her arms. She wr

All the guests who had witnessed the scene gasped in dread. Some of them, including Merideth Parker and Thomas Clarke, ran for their lives, realizing it wasn't safe to be in the presence of this maniac who just shot his wife. The metal gun slipped from Gabriel’s hand, his face sagged and his eye enlarged out of its sockets, seeing his wife bleeding on the floor. “C-Cathie…”His legs immediately took him towards Catherine, but Kameron lunged forward and boxed him in the face, knocking him to the ground and pinning him to the floor.Anastasia clung to her Catherine and cried helplessly, not knowing what to do. Alexandra stood there and stared expressionlessly at her mother, whose blood spilled out of her body. Catherine fluttered her eyes to keep them open. The tears in her eyes made those honey-brown irises shine like topaz as she gazed at Alexandra.If she was to die, she wanted to do it seeing her oldest daughter whom she had wronged all these years.Silvano came up to them and drop
Return of the CEO's Empress Red wedding
Alexandra’s fierce, amber eyes bore right into Anastasia, who was on the verge of passing out from the built-up anxiety. Her weak knees buckled and she could barely pull herself together. The bouquet fell, the roses scattered, and she stared back at her sister in horror at what was yet to come.Placing a black-gloved hand on her chest, Alexandra put on an apologetic expression and swept her gaze over the audience. “My sincere apologies for the interruption, ladies and gentlemen.”Gabriel stood up and stalked towards her, his face heavy with anger. “What the hell are you doing here?!”“Can’t you tell? I was invited.” Alexandra lifted her chin, a gesture of disdain.The deep red shade on Gabriel’s face paled when he turned towards Kameron, who had a devilish smirk upon seeing Alexandra. “My heartily welcome, Lady Alexandra.” Kameron greeted.The audience broke out into a cacophony of mutters and whispers. They looked at each other with perplexed faces. What was going on here? And why di
Return of the CEO's Empress Cursed bride
“Looks like our beautiful bride is ready.” Kameron’s ridiculing voice broke Anastasia from her trance. She looked back at the woman in the mirror. Her doe-like brown eyes had turned red after she had mourned the night away. She had never shed a single tear for her grandfather’s death, but now misery had plagued her ability to realize the outcome of her past deeds. No one can escape fate. No one. “I am-,” Her voice had died out. She couldn’t ignore the pain in her throat. “Save that for the vows,” Kameron warned. He approached for a closer look at his bride, whose eyes were still glued to herself in the mirror. It was then he realized how beautiful she looked in the ivory white wedding dress. The makeup artist concealed all the wounds and bruises he had given her under that makeup. Her eyes seemed so clear and pure. She resembled Catherine physically, but her personality leans on the contrary. She wasn’t brave, nor had she had the unwavering disposition
