"Take her away, officers."

"What are you doing, Peter?" Catherine stood from the sofa, stubbing the cigarette she had been smoking just before we entered.

"I have warned you to stop smoking in my house." Uncle Pete was angry seeing how she stubbed the cigarette on his console table, messing the glass top.

That cigarette obviously wasn't her first stick.

"Don't touch me!" She snarled at the officer, snatching her wrist away from him. "What have I done, Peter?"

"What have you not done, you psycho?!" He was really furious. "You turned my home into a strip club and a brothel?!"

His emphasis on 'and' didn't go unnoticed.

She faced me with the most hateful, venomous glare ever. If eyes could kill, I'd be lying in my own pool of blood in that moment. "You!"

I jolted a bit and shifted slightly so I was behind uncle Pete. I didn't dare say a word. This lady knew how to scare me shitless.

I couldn't hide the truth from uncle Pete, not because I was a tattletale but he deserved to know. He

    "Was that you in the video?" A reporter shoved his mic in my face as soon as I stepped out of the vehicle Jared had opened for me — another public show of his pretending to be a loving husband.I almost lost my balance in my heels as eyes were all on me...and Jared.I tried to gauge his reaction but there was only calmness that had nothing to be with peace but rather the stifling urge to explode in anger."Mr. Johnson, how do you feel seeing your wife involved in such illicit activities especially with your reputation in the country?" Another asked, also trying her best to break through Jared's wall of security surrounding us.He didn't say anything. My heart thudded in my chest as series of emotions whirled within like a tornado, threatening to blow me off my feet.If only they knew it wasn't my fault. Were they blind? Was the public gullible to believe just about anything just because they believed what they call 'evidence'?Clearly, I was distressed and being forced in that video y

    His name was barely out of my lips when he crashed his on mine.Anger forgotten, I let him invade my mouth with uncontrolled lust. I kissed him back and it was just as that night.Drunk or not, the lust had been potent and passion had been real. He shifted me so we were out of sight.There was a little corner that could contain both of us. I was slim so there was no problem there.I pressed myself up against him and let him kiss me.My gown had a high slit on my left leg. I raised the leg to wrap around him. He caressed the length of it, his fingers moving up till he found my lace pant beneath.A groan left his lips as a moan did mine. No one could hear us, I guess. Plus there was old Mozart playing. "I should not be doing this." He murmured in my mouth but didn't let go of me."No, we shouldn't." I agreed but still didn't make a move to let go of him as well.His two fingers moved my lacy underwear aside and one rubbed the entrance of my femininity. I went wild with lust, grabbing

    JARED"What is wrong, Jared?" My fiancee frowned with a mix of concern and annoyance as she stared into my eyes."Nothing." I shook my head and continued to try kissing her again.I didn't know why I wasn't suddenly feeling it with her anymore. This was the same woman I enjoyed being with but two days after that sex on that balcony with Hailey, my body couldn't stop wanting sex.But the problem was it didn't want it with my woman. Here I was, trying my damnest to make love to her and enjoy it as I used to but it was futile. And it was also frustrating, not to mention annoying. I decided to stop thinking about the sex I'd had with Hailey. The way her body melded perfectly to mine. Even the way she moaned under my touch. I needed to forget and concentrate on Mia.Naked beneath me, I lowered my head and took a nipple in my mouth."Oh yes...Jared.. Mmm." She writhed beneath me, obviously into it.Her fingers slithered through my hair and grabbed a fistful.I went on to the other breast

    "What? Not again." My hand trembled as I held the blue-and-white stick showing two red lines.Pregnant?! What the hell?! How had this happen?I sank on my bed. That was a rhetorical question. I knew how it had happened.Jared would not stop coming into my room to have sex and I apparently had developed strong feelings for him to let him.It was almost two months now. Two months since our secret affair began and it's been three weeks since Mia and Martha traveled.I had no idea what the traveling had been about but I wasn't concerned. I'd been able to have breakfast without being insulted and bullied by both women.I looked at the stick again to confirm, the lines were still there.Jared should be happy about it. For three weeks, his attitude had gone from cold to bearable towards me. That could mean he was beginning to warm up to me.Which could also mean he was getting to like me. The thought had me hopeful a

    "If throwing caution to the wind was a person." I teased as soon I could catch my breath.He had come up behind me in the kitchen while I was trying to make breakfast for both of us after spending the night in his room and pressed his erection behind me.The guy was as strong as an Ox and was tireless. He found every opportunity to wear me out. Not to say I was complaining, I liked it too much to protest.Every time he touched me had me falling harder for him. Moreover, I could see how fast it was building our relationship.After that call and the way he'd hurried out of my room yesterday, there had been no opportunity to tell him of my pregnancy yet.He had barely given me time or the chance to talk during the night and by the time we were done, I was so tired — positively so. "There's just something about you that turns me on." He kissed my left ear.I could not believe that single, casual act had my body reacting again. Oh, Jared would be the death of me. Then he nibbled it, a m

    "How could you have been so careless, Jared?" "Mom, I don't know. I was just..." A sigh followed."Mia must not find out about this and also don't forget that Mia's father is one of your biggest clients. You don't want to lose him.""Of course, I know that mom. I don't want to lose Mia either, you know that." "You should have used protection, at least. Moreover, if you wanted to have a girl who's not Mia, you could have had other girls, not that cheap slut who almost ruined your career." "Mom, the deed had been done. I can not explain why I kept sleeping with her but we must find a solution. I can't have her be pregnant for me." He sounded upset and a bit apprehensive. "Maybe I should ask uncle Pete for help. She listens to him.""Don't do that. You know Peter likes the girl, I wonder the kind of relationship they have.""What are you trying to say, mom? Uncle Pete is not like that.""You can never tell. Anyways, he's a bad option. He'll just end up taking sides with the bitch.""S

I was here with my friend who owned the place when she'd called.I had to stay and wait for her. She sounded distraught but there was also this anger folded between layers of hurt and pain.What had Jared foolishly done to the poor girl this time?"Uncle Pete." She came to give me a hug.I returned the hug warmly, then held her at arm's length, observing her closely. "Are you okay?"She smiled but it didn't reach her eyes. "I will be.""What has Jared done to you this time?" I asked, leading her to the seat opposite mine."He's a soulless murderer." She deadpanned, her eyes were puffy which revealed a long while of crying.But when she'd uttered those words, no tears had run down. Just piled up anger was heard.I frowned. "What do you mean?"

    "Are you sure of this, Hailey?" Uncle Pete held my wrist just as I was about to scribble my signature in the empty box on the left down side of the papers before me.I struggled back tears and nodded. "Yes, uncle Pete. I can't take it anymore. The humiliation from his mother, the bullying from his girlfriend. Everything is just too much for me at this point." "Are his mom and Mia the problems here?" He asked, concern lacing his features."It's not just them. It's him. I have taken enough, uncle Pete and I am done." The tears came now. "He doesn't want me. Doesn't even like me. These past few days, ever since he found out about the pregnancy, he has been avoiding me. And now that he thinks I have aborted the pregnancy, he won't talk to me or n-n-notice me..." I was holding in stream of tears."It's okay." He shifted his chair so he was closer to me and consoled. "How could he ask me to have an abortion? This is the second time he's getting rid of our child. I'm so stupid!" I gripped

    THREE YEARS LATER...I stood outside in front the prison's huge gate, Zion and Zaya, still having their sibling rivalry, stood beside me. I paid them no mind. The day they would not argue, I would be genuinely worried. Jared stood beside me as I held a cardboard paper in view, waiting for her. "Where is she?" I questioned impatiently.Uncle Pete and Miss Nancy were home, they couldn't come because Miss Nancy had just put to bed a beautiful set of twin boys. The twin gene was really strong in the Johnson family. Celine was due at any moment. Funny right? Dylan had proposed a year after my wedding. Celine was expecting her first child but was advised to stay home and to stress as little as possible. That was what happened when your husband was a big shot doctor.The gates opened and there she was. I beamed.Zion and Zaya, now eight years of age, ran forward in unison, forgetting their meaningless squabble. "Aunt Denise!""Hey!" She opened her arms, stooping to hug them only they wer

    When I finally came to, the first thing I heard was the steady beeping of the heart's monitor. I blinked reflexively as the bulb overhead hurt my eyes some. I tried to raise myself to a sitting position but a groan escaped my lips."Hailey." Someone rushed to the bed, helping me to sit up.It was Jared. "W-what happened? I had a dream. A weird dream." I told him, looking quite disoriented. "Really? What kind of dream was that?" He asked, tucking hair behind my ears. "I saw Zaya. Zion was holding her hand and they...they..." Emotions swamped me, making it difficult for me to continue speaking.I swallowed hard, trying to dislodge tears suck in my throat. He heaved a sigh. "It was not a dream, baby. Zaya is alive. I'm as shocked as you are but after uncle Pete and Miss Nancy explained all that happened, I am just thankful she's alive." Emotions rose to his throat. "No." I shook my head, not wanting to believe. "No, no. Zaya died. I saw her body. She...she laid there unconscious an

    "Thank you Brenda, you did a superb job." I shook hands with the very pretty bartender dressed in revealing clothes as the cops threw handcuffs around the wrists of drugged, oblivious Philip and Derek.Finally, I did it. Actually, to be fair, I had help. Jared and me had tracked them to the location Denise had provided and it was true. I realized they frequented a rundown bar at this remote area and they were smart to because no one would have ever traced them here."It's my pleasure. Plus, the money was too good to pass up." She seemed pleased with herself. "Just a second." I left her to go get my checkbook and pen from my bag sitting in the car. I returned to her with these, wrote a figure and extended it to her. "This is thank you for a job well done."She took the check, her eyes bulged in both excitement and shock. "This is freaking much! What the hell do I do with so much money?"My eyes did a quick sweep of her work environment, then moved back to her. "You can pursue your dr

    "I don't know why you brought me here. You could have come alone." I folded my arms, staring with a displeased expression at the entrance of the police station. "You need this." Jared said, turning off the engine and unbuckling his seatbelt. "Aren't you getting out?""I told you I'm not ready. I don't know what to tell her. I'm not even sure I want to talk to her, I can't forget the fact that she had a hand in my father's death.""Fine. Then don't talk, let me do the talking. I just want you to be available so you can hear the information she has. You want Philip and Derek to pay for what they have done to you, don't you?" He shifted to face me. "I guess." My tone was reluctant."Good, because I want Philip to pay for killing my father." His jaw tightened.I frowned a little. "You've never been this upset ever since...I don't know, he was your father-in-law.""A big mistake. My father's death ruined my family with my mother as an accomplice." His words were bitter to the ears. I pl

    I was dressed for the event — a simple tank top and distressed denim shorts. It was time to pluck off another adversary.I opened the door and turned on the lights. "There you are." My smile was anything but welcoming or friendly. "And I thought I smelled a rotten fish." She spat, looking unkempt and dirty. And she was tied to a chair. "Oh, that'll be you seeing as you haven't had your bath in like...well, weeks." I drew a chair from the wall, placed it few feet from hers and sat. "Forgive my lack of hospitality, I've been busy.""It's been a while. What do you want?" Her once shiny red hair was now a matted mess. "Revenge." I simply said. As though on cue, I heard a rap on the door. I opened it to allow Celine and Jared walk in. Jared was carrying a box of things I'd asked for. "You bitch! You think I'm scared of you?" She was trying to act strong but the little quiver in her voice gave her away. "I think you already are." I emptied the contents in the box.I heard her gasp. "

    "Room 48." I mumbled, blowing nerves away. I was here and there was no turning back. Uncle Pete and Jared had no idea where I was going. I'd lied about picking some things for Zion from the store. This should be over in no time. I raised a fist and rapped gently but firmly on the door. "Who's that?"Two of the cops had followed me upstairs but were hiding from view. That sounded like the President's voice. I knocked again, cleared my tone in a bit to disguise it and said. "Room service."There was seconds of silence, then the padding of feet coming towards the door. The door opened. "We didn't order any..." The rest of his words were drowned by shock."Hello, Mr. President." I plastered on a smile. "Can I come in?" He was yet to see the cops."Get out." Fear and anger had him growl out those words. He tried to shut the door in my face but before he succeeded, I had a foot stuck between the door and used all of my power to push it open, making him lose balance and fall to the gro

    "Uncle Pete!" I dashed into the room to envelope him into a hug, not minding the presence of Miss Nancy and a nurse. He hugged me back, his chuckle a bit weak. "I missed you too."I blinked my eyes, struggling back tears and swallowing emotions lodged stubbornly in my throat. "I'm so glad you're okay, uncle Pete. I...I... thought..." I couldn't even say the words out loud. "You thought what? I'm going nowhere for a long, long time, babygirl."My heart swelled with both gratitude and love for the man. It was the first time he would be using such an endearing term in that soft, affectionate tone. "You'd better not.""Can't...breathe." He said, still hugging me. "Thank you for saving my life. Thank you." I sniffled. "I owe you everything, my life included." "I did what I'm supposed to do, Hailey. You don't have to thank me for that." He rubbed my back. I held onto him for a few more moment. "Save some for us, Hailey." Celine who had come with me chuckled. I let go, finally paying

    Jared unbuckled my seatbelt and pulled me onto his laps, I could not stop sobbing. "Shh. It's okay.""I...I..." I hiccuped, words failing me. "You don't have to say anything now." His hand on my back, comforting and soothing was a bit helpful."But...oh God. I don't want to believe her, but..." I trailed off as more tears interrupted my speech."Me too. I thought she just being her sly self but when I heard her talk, I knew she wasn't lying."I sniffled back snot, raising my head to look at him. "You heard her talk? When?""When we worked together. See, everyone makes mistakes, including your father. And that mistake led to his untimely, unfortunate demise. Denise too and we both know where the mistake landed her.""I can't imagine being poor and having a rich father who didn't want you. I know my dad was wrong to have pretended Denise didn't exist but killing him didn't solve anything. She only killed the man I've loved all my life till the day he died.""And I'm sorry for that. I

    "He's not our son." Was the only argument I could come up with. Disappointment and disbelief darkened his eyes. "So you're prepared to let that young boy who left his country to provide a life for himself and his family to die in a fight that doesn't concern him? Coming from you, a mother?"Guilty speared, so I kept mute, partly to reflect. "Look, babe, I know you've been through a lot and Kazim was giving every information to bring every injustice to an end and the people responsible to book and he has done a wonderful job so far, but it was getting too heated. He was digging in too deep and I feared it was only a matter of time before he would wound up dead probably in some remote location. I know you're a good person and would never want to put his life at risk, you just wanted to fight back the only way you knew how."I hated that the anger was no longer aimed at him. I felt ashamed that he'd considered the risks while I was only interested in what Kazim had to offer. "Where is
