PRISCILLA

"You need to know when to stop, Phil. What are you doing?!" I yelled at my husband in exasperation.

His face was taunt with anger and determination. "You had better shut your mouth, Priscilla."

I wanted to flinch but held it in. I knew Phil had a temper and could throw tantrums like a baby if he was not getting his way.

Sometimes he could get verbally and emotionally abusive towards me but I'd endured.

Lately, it was getting worse and I had somehow knew it had to do with his anger over not being invited to that party.

An event that had taken place weeks ago! How petty could he be? It was beginning to grate my nerves raw.

I wasn't one for confrontations but he was making it difficult to live with him. I just had to address it. "Why don't you just focus on your business and let Peter Johnson be. He's family by marriage."

"I don't care who he is, Priscilla. I need to have the upper hand. I just heard from a reliable source that Jared is being favored for that political positi

    CHRISTIANI spotted her in the dark corner of the bar, nursing a drink. One long look at her and I knew she was not in a good mood.Although that was to be expected. I'd been informed.The ringing of my phone cut off my thoughts.Jerome."What's up, man?""Have you spotted her?""Yes. I'll get back to you soon."I ended the call and took a seat on the high stool at the bar where I could easily keep an eye on her, waiting for my moment.I was doing this as a favor to Jerome. He had said he was going to help me with getting Hailey back. I'd been trying to reach her ever since but she wouldn't pick my calls and it was really difficult seeing her these days."What would you like to have, sir?" A young bartender with red hair that looks obviously dyed and a long pattern of tattoo that ran from her neck down to her left arm addressed me."A shot of tequila." I responded, still keeping an e

    I stormed into company, my glass, custom-made heels clicking angrily against the polished floor. The aura I oozed off, despite the ridiculously big bouquet of roses I was carrying, was intimidating.And that was what I was aiming for but not to intimidate these innocent staff but their boss.Their stupid, arrogant, stubborn boss who was gradually turning my home into a garden of roses, daisies and chrysanthemums.He couldn't even get my favorite flower right. Tulip.Not to say these weren't beautiful but I didn't want anything from him."Good day, ma'am.""Hello, ma'am."Greetings followed me as I continued my angry march towards the elevator and up the building to his office floor. His secretary saw me and recognized me immediately. I was a famous face.Who would forget the face that had been on the news on and off for the past six years?The only difference was now I attracted respect and honor as the 'fiancee' of America's biggest and most influential CEO — Peter Johnson.Though

    I hated that I was enjoying his lips assault mine. I hated that I loved the rage oozing off of him as he pillaged my mouth and exercised dominance.I hated that his hands were crawling up my waist and gently squeezing my firm butt. I hated even more that I was allowing this. I had loved him and given him everything I was worth back then, but he'd taken it for granted and made a fool out of me. He was back. Begging. Because his marriage with the love of his life was not going according to plan. If he had children with Mia, he would not be regretting. He would not be sending flowers. He would not have paid mind to my kids. He would have still ignored me like I didn't exist. "So sweet." He groaned in my mouth. He had once said he could not resist my body. I had thought it to be a compliment and let it get to my head but it wasn't...He had just seen me as an available tool for satisfying his sexual urge and his insatiable urge died off the moment Mia returned.I had looked so stup

    JARED"What did she come here to do, Jared?" She pushed herself away from me as I tried to help her get on her feet, her turquoise blue orbs staring heatedly at me."It's nothing. Just let me help you up." I tried again but she would not let me. Unexpectedly, anger coursed through me. "Fine! Remain on the floor then!"I rose to my feet and went to occupy my own chair, my head spinning spirally in thoughts. They were conflicted at that moment.Why had I kissed her? What was the motive behind that kiss and the way she had kissed me back? Fear Lord, it felt like old times.Illicit affairs of six years ago sprung and flooded my mind, making me feel things I didn't want to feel.Things I should definitely not be feeling.

    PHILIPS "What do you mean the boy is gone? How can you say that?! Who took him?!" I grabbed one of the men I had kept to be in charge of Catherine's son and landed him a slap.He staggered back from the force of it. "I-I'm s-sorry, Mr. Pillax.""You're stupid! Do I pay you to be sorry, you incompetent fool?!" I raged. Fuck! What would I tell the mother? I had promised nothing would happen to him. Also, that boy was the only tool to use against Catherine to work for me. I glared daggers at the guys I'd paid to work for me. Two of them were injured. "What happened here? Tell me." I cooled my temper to ask them. The one in charge, he was the one I'd landed a slap, began to talk. "We heard strange noises middle of the night and I thought to go check it out. I saw nothing. I went back inside only to find my boys under attack and injured. They wore masks and these men are good. They must be professionals." He concluded with an air of defeat and shame. Anger and annoyance stirred. "Is

    PETER"Thank you for agreeing to see my nephew, Bronx." I shook hands with the President who had now become a close friend and had asked me to quit with the formalities and address him like a friend would.It had taken a while and some corrections from the president but I finally felt comfortable calling the number one citizen of the United States of America by his first name. "I appreciate you making time for me, Mister President." Jared also accepted an handshake from him, feeling very proud of himself in that moment.I saw the pride in his eyes and all I could say was he truly deserved some accolades. He was the youngest of the contestants for the Senate position. Also, he was smart and bold."I like your nephew, Pete. He's smart, young and well spoken. He's definitely the kind of man needed in politics." Bronx smiled wide at me, evidently pleased. Even without my help, the President would have still taken a liking to him."Thank you, Mister President." Jared was all smiles as hi

Zion threw questions at me, temporarily abandoning his his soldier figure that was about to war with his batman figure."No, it's not daddy, honey." I pulled the phone away from my ear to whisper to him. I pressed the intercom on the wall of the playpen."Where are you, Kazim? Any update?" I continued with my call."Yes, ma'am. I'll text you the location and you'll come meet us." He said.I pulled the phone away from my ear for the second time when the door opened to reveal the person I'd summoned through the intercom."Yes, ma'am?"

    My jaw tightened and teeth clenched when I walked in to find Jared trying to engage Zion who was sparingly giving him his attention. He was focusing all his attention on uncle Pete, wanting them to play together.Though Jared didn't seem mad or impatient, he stopped when he spotted me.I averted my gaze from his, focusing on uncle Pete. "What is he doing here?"But he ignored me, focusing on his interaction with Zion. "Son, let's go get you some ice cream. Are you in the mood for one?" "Yes. And new toys." Zion said, already harboring that excited gleam in his eyes. "Let's buy for Zaya too. She might wake up anytime and ask for hers. I don't want her fighting me for mine."I gaped at uncle Pete. We had never told him Zaya's condition. He only knew she was still in the hospital but not how she was. So how did he know?Uncle Pete understood my expression. "I told him." He clarified."Why? He's just a child." My voice was low and calm. Zion, like his sister, was smart and could detect

    "You don't have to do this, please." I begged while trying to rack my brain for a way out of this situation. "I can pay. I will pay you, name your price. A blank check?""I already have my money. Philip paid me well, I just need your pussy to run wet enough for me to cum all over your pretty face. Keep moving." We were walking towards a building.The sun was yet to be up but I could make out the skeleton of an uncompleted building in the growing dawn. Maybe Nina was there. "Can I at least know where Nina is? Or how she is?""She's fine. Now shut the hell up or I'll put a bullet through your head and fuck your corpse. Either way, I'm good and you'll be dead." His laugh was maniacal.He definitely wasn't alright upstairs. His words caused chills running through my veins. He was, in layman's words, a madman.And the behaviors of such deranged people needed to be kept in check and also avoided. This guy might actually do as he had said if I didn't keep shut.He shoved me into the buildin

    "Please be safe." Uncle Pete hugged me tight. I felt the fear radiating off of him. I hugged back, keeping back my own fear from surfacing. "I will.""God be with you." Miss Nancy enveloped me in a warm hug as well. "I hope." Was my low response.It was Celine's turn. One would think I was embarking on a journey of no return with the many hugs and dreary faces. Well, with dangerous and desperately power-hungry men like Philip Pillax, it might as well be. "I haven't known you for long but you're a good person. Please come back." Her hug was shorter but nonetheless warm."I will." I checked the time once again. It was ten past four in the morning. Location had been sent a minute past four. I couldn't sleep. No one could. We had all kept vigil.Jared came out just then, he hadn't been with us ever since. I had gone to find him and talk to him, but he wasn't speaking to me so I left him alone. Uncle Pete too. I wasn't even expecting him to come out. I spotted him coming down the sta

    "He's still not picking his phone. Why is he not picking his phone?!" I paced about the living, almost out of my wits. The television was on. I'd turned it on with the hope of hearing the President making his denouncement speech regarding Jared. The voices of random people talking on TV buzzed around the room, but I didn't pay attention.They weren't what I was interested in."Hey. Hey. Hey. Come here." Jared stopped my agitated pacing and drew me into his embrace. "Calm down, worrying yourself will not help.""That girl is counting on me to save her. I have to save her. Oh God! She gave me a clue, I have unraveled it and now, I have... I have to save her." My heart was beating faster than usual. Time was running out. Just few hours ago, the kidnapper had called just as I was leaving the room assigned to Denise until she recovered and reminded me, in no mirthful or light tone if I may add, about the deal. I had no idea why the President was doing this to his own daughter. Now, he w

    BRONX"What are you still doing sitting there, Bronx?!" The sharp, trembling voice of my wife shook me out of my depressing thoughts. "Why aren't you on air yet?!"She was like a woman on a mission, storming into my small, private office without knocking. Not that any of my family members ever needed the permission to have access to me unless I was with very important guests or in a crucial political meeting. "What?" I almost knocked my glass of bourbon off the table in a slightly tipsy daze. "I said why are you not on air right now pulling Jared from the race and saving my daughter's life?!" She seethed, reaching my table and placing both hands on it. "Francesca where did you hear that?" I had to ask. I didn't tell anyone about my meeting with Peter, Hailey and Jared. "Don't reply me with questions, Bronx. Where is my daughter?! Why are you intent on making my poor girl suffer in the hands of those...those monsters?!" She cried, anger and despair clouding her big, blue puffy eyes

    MIA"Husband-to-be? What are...""Come here." His lips smiled, his tone calm but there was an underlying order coating those two words. "Now."Subtly clearing my throat, I took small steps towards him knowing my mom and his mom were watching. He grabbed me by my waist and lowered his head, I dodged his kiss. "What are you doing? Our moms are watching and I'm married to your brother. Stop this.""Exactly, baby. I want them to watch and know I'm the right brother for you. And henceforth, you're no longer married to my brother. I went into the room you used to share with him, I saw the divorce papers, he signed but you're yet to. You'll sign it." His tone gave the hint of a command.Our voices were hushed whispers so only us could hear. "No, I'll not. Stop this, Jerome.""Say you don't want me. Look into my eyes and say it, I'll leave you alone. Maybe." It was almost as if his eyes were taunting me knowing I couldn't.I licked my lips. "See, I want you. I love you but it's your brother

    MIAI watched her come out of the mall, my car parked a distance from hers. My blood boiled and hatred flamed. She was the cause. It was all her fault and I was here to stop that nonsense. I stepped out of my vehicle, my sunglasses in place, I approached her, hurrying as she walked to her car with shopping bags in her hands. What was Jared's old secretary doing with her? Anyways, she was not my concern. "Hey you." I didn't bother to hide my disdain when I neared her.Removing her own sunglasses, she coolly assessed me. "Didn't expect to find you here, Mia. It's been awhile.""Where's my husband?" I got to the heat of the matter. A chuckle escaped her. "Does it look like I have him in my purse or in the back of my car?"A growl rumbled low. "You bitch! I see what you're trying to do here. You couldn't have him six years ago, now, you're playing every dirty game in your book to keep my husband from me.""Pick a side, Mia.

    PRISCILLA "Leave me alone, you wife beater!" I struggled with him to let go of my shirt he'd held on to. I heard a rip and seethed. This was one of my very expensive shirts. "Not until you tell me where the stuff in my safe is." He seethed as well. "What safe? What stuff? Did you tell me of any safe in this house?""You and I are the only occupants of this house, Priscilla. Don't fucking lie to me! Your behavior recently have been rousing suspicions.""And yours haven't?" I shot back."Give me the things you took from that safe or I'll make you regret knowing me, Priscilla." He threatened."I already regret knowing you, Philip!" I retorted. "I regret ever walking down the aisle and tying the nuptial knot with you! You're meaner than a snake and more vicious than a bear!" I lashed out. "One would look at your calm exterior and be deceived, I know I was until you began to show you true, evil colors! The devil resides in you, Philip!"

    "Well, that went well. I guess." I strapped in just as uncle Pete started the vehicle, driving out of the compound. "I guess so too." Jared stared from the rearview mirror, our eyes met. The drive back home was mostly silent. My mind were filled with thoughts of Nina, Celine and when Denise would become conscious and tell her side of the story.Feeling exhausted, I closed my eyes and worried more. "Hey." A soft voice sounded close yet far. "Hailey." The voice called again, a gentle, patient tap followed. My lips parted slightly open in an unconscious response when I felt a pair of lips mesh with mine. A small moan escaped me. All of this was a dream. The face I saw kissing me was Jared. I wound my arms round his neck to bring him closer to me. The kiss progressed more passionately and it became a delightful merging of mouths, tongues yearning to each other. "I love you, Hailey." That had my eyes fluttering open. I released a shocked gasp and unwound my arms, licking my lips.

    "What the hell is she saying, Peter?" The President who was currently pacing his office, looking sleep-deprived and angry, faced uncle Pete."Calm down and listen to what she has to say. There's sense in it." Uncle Pete was trying to calm him. "What sense is in there, Peter?! She's asking me to make a fool of myself out there!" He looked like he was about to pummel someone. "If denouncing your support for Jared and pulling him out of the race is what makes you a fool, then be a fool to save your daughter!" I retorted, getting worked up by his own anger. I was trying to save his daughter's life but he was proving stubborn all for some keeping a clean record and an unblemished career. "It's your fault she's kidnapped! I told you this was a dangerous game but you thought blackmailing me with a secret daughter from my past will solve everything. Now look at where it has landed me! Damn it!
