"Boyfriend...?" Mystique felt a shank skewering through her heart as that word sink deeply into her heart, but she managed to maintain her angry face, she would never let them see her dissembler.
The lady scoffed again, crossing her hands over her chest. "And who are you?"
That question strikes her hard. Who was she in the man's life? What right did she have in his life? she was only carrying his child. What right did she have to be jealous of the other person had a girlfriend? "Oh, I didn't realize. I apologize" she said, sadness growing deep in her eyes as they got teary, thankfully, her voice didn't waver as she had expected. "I will give you space to talk, I'll be in the car"
She veered and raced out from the store, slurring over the calls of Damien, who stood up to run after her but the lady held back his hand. He reeled to her and gave her a blank and stoic look. He immediately tore her hand off his wri
"I can't believe am here again?" Harriet grizzled, rolling her eyes as she continuously shadowed Mystique from one corner of the kitchen to the other while the pregnant person was making lunch. Mystique shook her head. She also couldn't believe she would be putting up with that for the whole day. Damien had to leave for work as he had an important meeting that required his presence. "You are whiny," she said to the other person, now standing beside the kitchen counter. Here she thought she was the pregnant one. Harriet scoffed unbelievingly."Look who's talking" Mystique rolled her eyes. "Am pregnant" she defended himself. "That does not justify what you put me through for five days" Harriet retorted. "What are you even making, you have been cooking since I got here" "Which was 20 minutes ago. Can you drive me to the office later, I need to give Da
"Please don't hurt me!" She pleaded, supporting her stomach with her hand, but the more she stood there, the nipping throe in her rib only consolidated, a single teardrop whisked from her right eye. she couldn't die there, she still had a lot of things to do. "Come on, Sugar" they tittered in travesty, only a few steps away from her. "Please, don't" she continued to besiege but they paid no mind as they were now before her. Mystique shut her eyes, waiting for the worst to happen. Her breathe evened and her heart raced in terror for herself and her baby. Her head felt whirling and heavy, she suddenly felt hefty. "Well, guys" an unfamiliar voice bellow from behind them and they all turned to find a man standing there. "Stay away from him!" And that was the last thing Mystique heard before she gave in to the darkness. *~* Sluggishly, her eyes flitter
Pokily, her eyes fluttered but her vision was completely befogged. She shook her head, trying to see clearly but it was ineffectual, everything was dim especially without her glasses. She opened her mouth to speak but She realized her mouth was taped sealed, her eyes widened and She tried to move but her body refused to respond, She gazed down with her blurry vision and was able to make out how a rope was tied tightly around her body to a chair. Her eyes popped out, wanting to pull out from their sockets. What happened...? why was She tied to a chair, who tied her. She shut her eyes, trying to remember anything, anything at all but only succeeded in inviting a very nasty headache, her head felt explosive and her body ached, She whined in dismay but suddenly, She remembered everything. *~* Earlier... That next morning, Mystique woke up to find Damien getting dressed for work, he was putting on
"Good morning Harriet!" She greeted cheerfully and the person gazed up from her paper. "You seem rather cheerful today, Miss Miller" Harriet pointed out, sitting upright. "After nearly killing all of us yesterday" She continued. Mystique bit her lower lip. "Am sorry about yesterday, I miscalculated" Harriet sighed. "I've seen the CCTV footage of that meeting, I do not blame you for reacting that way because anyone would have the same reaction but I know one thing, Damien is against cheating since the day his first girlfriend cheated on him with his best friend. Trust me, Damien loves you, I have known him for years and I have never seen him treat any of his previous lovers the way he treats you, I have never seen him stare at anyone the way he gazes at you. You are special to him and I want it to remain that way. If you have any misunderstandings, talk to me and settled it because he nearly had our h
"Find Her, find her now!" Damien yelled, pulling one of his men by the collar and shaking him fiercely before throwing him hard to the floor. His anger exploded, a dense fire awakened in him, his eyes caught with fury, his jaw was clenched, his knuckles were fisted tightly at the side, his fingers digging into his palms, his posture was stiff, rigs muscles and a corded neck. He smoldered with resentment, rage flowing through his veins like lava, his throat was closed, and the not in his stomach got tighter and tighter by the minute, so did the harden in his chest. They finally took her, they touched what belonged to him, Damien laughed out ferociously, his eyes resembling that of a barbaric animal tasty for blood, he licked his lip truculently. Seemed like they desire nothingness because Damien Martinez would bring it to them. He could make their wish come true, he would gladly send them to hell after giving them heaven.
"Damien" She called in a shaky voice, the tightness in his chest immediately lessened. "Mystique" he also called, his grim voice was now soft and light as if he was speaking to a child, dripping with raw emotions. "Damien, please save our child. I can't bear the pain any longer" Mystique winced and cried from the other side, breaking his heart into tiny pieces, just when Damien was about to speak, the husky voice came back. "That's all you need to know. Provide the money in two days. My boys and I would be waiting" he hung up on him. Damien smirked maddeningly throwing the phone to Liam, who nodded before walking out from the office. He winked at his boys as he pulled out his gun. "Let's have some fun with those fuckers tonight" *~* Silently she stared and observed. she didn't how much time passed but her body
"Do you think her husband is that stupid!" Hikaru vociferated to his boss as soon as he hung up the call after speaking to Damien Martinez, a man known all over the underworld as the most feared mafia boss. He knew his boss was an ignoramus but not that stupid. Seemed like they had no idea who they just called but luckily, Hikaru was not dim-witted. He knew all about the monster on his way, on his way to bring them their deaths. The boss shrugged. "Even though he comes with the police, we'll kill them all and takes the money and before Madam Appa gets here, I am already a 50million reacher" This man was the true definition of stupidity. Hikaru scoffed inwardly, a smirk curved on his lips. They distinctly had no idea what was coming. He turned his gaze back to Mystique, who was just lying on the floor, letting out cries of agony once in a while. Let's just hope Mr. Marti
Hikaru immediately turned towards the door but it was not unclogged yet, so that meant the person who shot Freed was...he gasped loudly as he immediately turned only to find Mystique on her feet with a gun on her shaky grip but she was falling as the gun fell out from her hand but luckily, Hikaru was fast as he caught her before she landed on the floor. He shook her but Mystique was now completely unconscious, blood rushing out from between her legs, tears slipped out from his eyes as he held her close to his chest, waiting for someone to find them and soon, the door was blasted opened and there stood was none other than Damien Martinez dressed in all black, his hair was disarrayed and his eyes was bloodshot, completely animal-like and hanging low on his hand was a katana sword dripping with blood. "Help" Hikaru cried out and that was when the beast's gaze landed on an unconscious Mystique, lying unconsciously in a young boy's arms, both were in

Unconsciously she smiled as a warm sensation raced through her. Still, with her eyes closed, she held the soft pillow tightly but instead of softness, she was met with a hard yet soft and warm surface.Since when did her pillow become this hard yet so warm and comfortable. Unconsciously, her hands moved on their own, tracing everywhere just to make sure it was her pillow."Keep touching me and you'll regret it" a deep husky voice rang in her ears and her eyes jerk opened and instantly met the orbs of her husband of almost a year now.Mystique consciously smiled as she moved closer to that warmth that was raging from the other person. "Good morning" she uttered in a low soft tone as she slowly shut her eyes but the other person didn't buy it as he suddenly hovered over her which made Mystique open her eyes. "What," she asked lazily with fluttering eyes."I want you!" Damien burst out gazing down
"Damien?!" Mystique called with uncertainty in her voice and her breath immediately got caught in her throat and when the person before her took off his hoodie from his head, finally revealing his identity, Mystique nearly lost her balance but she held herself steady with the couch.Then she burst out laughing at her misfortune as tears gathered in her eyes and her heart pound faster than it had ever done before. She immediately placed a hand over her chest and clenched tightly."Are you alright?" Damien asked worriedly taking a step forward but Mystique held her palm out, stopping him on his tracks."Shut up, you are just another one of my nightmares, just my imagination again" she uttered to herself with her eyes shut tightly."But Mama, you are not dreaming," Dean said as he ran to Damien, slipping through her hands who tried to catch him."Dean, come back here. That's not you
"Dean, who is at the door!?" Mystique's loud voice came from the inside."Daddy?!" The young child passed with uncertainty but when the man outside his doorstep lifted his head and gazed into his eyes that bared so much familiarity, Little Dean's heartbeat fastly beneath his chest and he slammed the door shut.Mystique came out from the kitchen with a towel wiping her hands clean to find her son standing there with his back pressed against the door, his hand clenched tightly on his chest while he stared blankly as if he had just encountered a ghost outside his doorstep."Dean, what is it, who is at the door?" Mystique asked worriedly seeing her son's actions as she advanced."He's at the door!" The young boy muttered to himself."Who is at door?" Mystique grilled again as she was now standing in front of him."Daddy" The boy revealed in a whisper and Mystique
Through the years, everything the Miller's owned had been transferred to Mystique and Damien's wealth and his family wealth had also be transferred to her name, one could say she was bathing with money but being unfit to look after two companies, Archer and Harriet' because the temporary owners till Mystique was ready to take responsibility which would take a whole lifetime. "I'm surviving Harriet" Mystique replied after a few seconds of silence. Harriet sighed and threw her hands up in the air in frustration. "Jesus Mystique, you are a lost case!" Silently, Mystique moved around with the baby, and then, Bell, V, Liam, and Hikaru walked in and Mystique's eyes immediately met the sorrowful ones of Bell who was another lost case, another lost soul as Theo also never made it out from that fire. "Bell" Mystique acknowledged her best friend. "Mystique" T
"The shut down of AL Group of Companies has been a mystery and shock to the public as the sudden disappearance of the Martinez's had also been a big blow and after so many years, The CEO of AL companies, Appa Alice Martinez has been declared dead by the police in a fire after a careful investigation while the disappearance of Damien Martinez remained unknown....!""Dean, switch off that television this minute!!" a loud voice shouted from a distance and five tiny fingers immediately grabbed the remote control and turned off the TV, and laid down on the large couch while hugging a teddy bear tightly to his chest and shut his eyes, pretending to be asleep as the clicking sound of footsteps could be heard and soon, a young lady came out from the hall with a little girl in her arms.The girl giggled at the kid lying on the couch as the man put her down and scrolled over to the couch."Dean?" She called in a warning tone and t
While the five men carried Archer, Harriet, Ichabod, and V on their backs and ran out, Bell and Hikaru struggled to pull Mystique away from Damien's cold body but she held him even more tightly, refusing to let go, wanting to join him as she wept and wailed to go with her lover.Finally being able to take hold of himself, Liam joined them as they were finally able to pull her away and dragged her out from sight while her cries got louder and louder by the minute.But Theo remained as he stood quietly in front of his mother before squatting down to her level as she laid on the floor struggling to breathe as she pants while her entire right arm was gone.She gazed up at him, her breathing began to come out slowly as her eyes suddenly softened at the sight of her son, her eyes showing an emotion he had never seen in his entire existence, something she lacked for so many years, the affection that only a mother could di
Please vote and comment.*~*"This is taking way too long" Madam clasped her hands together, following the locale with avidness. How congenial. She giggled internally.Damien unflinchingly stared at his once hobnobber directly into his eyes, trying to make out if this was one of those frivolous escapades they typically played at the last minute whenever their mission didn't go as planned but as he gazed intensively, he found nothing as he only saw lividity, contrition, execration, and anguish.Damien sighed inwardly as he realized how devitalizing this game was but he was determined to end it with or without Benvolio."Goodbye, Damien!" He enunciated as he slowly pulled the trigger when halted his movements when an obstreperous voice ejaculated."STOP!!" A voice unanticipatedly exclaimed and they turned in a time as Mystique ran and stood beside Damien
The more listened, the more her eyes felt like they wanted to pop out from her socket, the more her heart pound loudly beneath her chest, the more thousands of layers formed and doubled in his stomach. She gulped painfully but the lump that had formed in her throat refused to be gulped down and finally the recording came to an end and she was immediately upon her feet, forgetting that fact that she was still in her sleeping pajamas as she dashed for the door but Bell immediately caught her wrist, preventing her from escaping."Let me go Bell. It's a trap, she's gonna kill him" she said helplessly as her eyes sparkled with tears wanting to stream down her face so badly."He knows that but judging from the map, they had everything planned out" Bell assured him but Mystique shook her head as she didn't feel assured one bit.Finally, a single teardrop slipped out from his eyes. "This is Appa Alice Martinez we are talking abo
