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

    A beautiful woman rested on the armchair inside the desolate dim room. There was no other source of light except for moonlight peeking through the windows. The moonlight reflected on her milky white skin, making it shine like freshly polished white jade. The raven black hair enhanced her flawless face and her eyes, the color of flames shimmered like glitter. The moonlight gave her a celestial glow. Anyone who had witnessed the sight would think of her as a fairy descended from the heavens. She had a jaded look kept on her face. As if nothing in this world was worth her interest. She glanced at the

    It was daybreak, and Alexandra woke up from her slumber because of her phone vibrating on the table. While waking up from the armchair her neck ached, because of the uncomfortable position she was sleeping the whole night. She yawned and stretched her arms like a lazy cat. She indolently picked up the phone and grunts in annoyance after recognising the caller ID. She unwillingly answered the call. "Yes, grandfather?" She asked in annoyance and gnashed her teeth to stop herself from being rude. "You were drinking again, weren't you?" The voice was stern, bold and alarming, which was scarier than a lion's roar. That voice could keep people on their toes.A husky old man with a scruffy white beard resembling

    In an eerie room, a half-naked man hung upside down like a skinned animal. The room smelled of decaying carcasses. The pungent smell of rotting meat stung his nose. He struggled in his chains trying to break it but ended up bleeding from the wound caused by it. His eyes were blurry and felt his eyes would fall out of its eye socket because of the high blood pressure in his head because someone hanged him upside down. He groaned from the torturous pain. "Where the fuck am I?" He muttered. Because of the uncomfortable position he was in, he couldn't think straight. He felt as if his brain was shutting down because of the exhaustion. He struggled but immediately stopped. Not because of the pain. He heard foot

    Alexandra was gazing at the beautiful garden through the large transparent window. She was deep in thoughts lost in her own world. She was ruminating about her grandfather's stimulating words. She was a coward. A coward for running away. A coward for not defending herself. A coward for allowing them to use her as they pleased. She thought running away would settle all the pains she had. What it gave her were nothing but horrid nightmares that haunts her every night. "Young Miss" Alexandra is suddenly woken up from her deep thoughts. She turned around to see a middle-aged woman. It was Martha. the housemaid. Seeing the beautiful woman before her Martha held her breath. The sun's golden rays gave her an ethereal glow. Her golden eyes shimmered like fairy dust.

    After filling her stomach with the delicious breakfast prepared by Martha Alexandra let out a small burp. Alexandra covered her mouth slightly blushing blinking in her eyes looking down on her lap. Hearing her cute burp Martha chuckled. It was her first time seeing this side of her. She behaved like an adorable child. Before today she used to eat alone in her room. It was after two long weeks she had eaten anything 'good'. She missed Martha's home-cooked meals which were both delicious and nutritious. Her stomach was so satisfied that it had let out a burp just to appreciate Martha's food. "Thank you for the food," She said and strode upstairs to her room. She opened her closet, it was any girl's dream closet because it was spacio

    The room temperature dropped because of the brooding man, his eyes forming freezing glaciers to the point where cold sweats ran through Steve's spine. 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.

    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

    Their dilemma wasn’t over just yet. 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. If Jonathan could impress her fearsome and bull-headed father, then she could coax Jonathan’s mother into accepting them too.Before their wedding takes place, she wanted everyone’s blessings. 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

    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

    “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
