TAKEN thirty two
Allen and Marcus gently brings Clark down from the car. He wouldn't let them come home alone. He said he wanted to stay with his sons a bit longer, since they won't be staying at his place. They assisted him to the door and when they opened it. The shock that lay on their face was unexplainable. Allen eyes widened at the woman that sat on the couch who was also in a confused state. Clark staggered as he set his eyes on Bella, Marcus immediately held him for balance. Bella rose to her feet as her face wrote surprise seeing these three together. Wherever Allen met Marcus and Clark she didn't know. But this isn't looking real. At all. For some moment she thought of how long she had wanted this to happen but hated it was happening just nowFlora stiff at the looks on all of their faces,they didn't seem too happy to see each other. The two brothers and father were still at the door looking directly at the woman she had brought in, Allen's mother
TAKEN thirty- three Bella had to concur to Allen's voice. She was going to listen like he asked her too. He obviously had a reason he was with them. Maybe she was just too stubborn to listen. She keeps quiet and wait for Clark to talk. To say things she wanted to hear and didn't want to hear. "We all make mistakes. So I regret all my mistakes in the past. "He started, his voice soft and gentle as he goes slow. She could feel how he was aging and she felt a guilt in her heart for making him pass through all this explanation. "I also regret making our problem our children's problem too. They had to adapt to the changes then. We made them go through a lot." "You made them go through a lot." Bella couldn't seem to stop interrupting him. It was like there were two sides of her and one was fighting to be heard. But she shut her mouth again and make him continue. "I know I hurt you" Clark said again. It
TAKEN thirty four. Marcus wanted to make it up to his mum and dad. So he had woken them up very early and had asked them to dress up. When they did, he put them in the car and drove them out. He went alone with them, he basically wanted to have a short time with his mum again. When they left Allen saw this opportunity to talk to Stella. Through at the night, all he did was felt guilty, after what his dad had said to him. He hated how attracted he got to Stella during those short period of time with steady nights with her. He needed this to stop. He had asked Stella to come over to his room, truth be told he didn't want to disrespect her matrimonial room anymore. His sudden respect for his brother had changed highly. He hoped Marcus doesn't find out about them, at least not soon enough. Stella entered into his room and raised her brows at him. "You called too sudden" she said with anxiousness. "No it's f
TAKEN thirty five He knocked on Flora's door and she opened immediately like she was expecting him. He stood by the door. He needed to come explain himself. He didn't want her to think he was a pervert. The other day too, he had tried kissing her, now he was caught with his brother's wife. He was sure there was so much to talk about. She had a lot going through her head already. "I can explain" was the first thing that he said to her. She didn't look too bothered about what she saw, but he needed to make things clear to her"What you saw was-" "For real boss. Its none of my business. I shouldn't have come in at that time"Flora apologized again. Whatever anyone was doing was not her business presently, even if she really think it's wrong. Allen stared at her for some moment, she didn't really seem too interested in the topic, so he didn't bother either "That is the last time something like that
TAKEN thirty six Jenifer was present tonight. She had walked in with a flower in her hands and was wearing a black outfit too like the others. She couldn't miss it. Marcus was there for her too when Jane died. She really had to support him emotionally too. Marcus saw her walk in. He hate to think about it but she was extremely hot in a black dress. Too hot that all his attention was distracted from his father's grave. This was not the right moment to savour over her, that would be later. He welcomes her in and led her to where everyone else was. Jenifer joined in the sad mood, she was so sad to see the elderly woman who looks like Marcus mum cry. According to the story Marcus told her, this was a very short period for this to happen, so she had a lot to grief on. Stella was the only one that recognized Jenifer as Marcus fitness instructor but the rest didnt really bother at the new face since it was Marcus guest. Everyone finally drops their flowers on his grav
TAKEN thirty seven(For long readers)She gulped her spit at the closeness between them, the heat from him was a turn on and she wasn't sure she could resist him any longer. She was definitely going to accept his apology, but she needed a little bit of time to prove that she could do without him even if they were this close. Guess it was a lie, she swallowed harder and pushed him backwards away from her, she could feel so much heat between her laps and the black dress she wore was just a fire up. Marcus held the hands that she used to push him away very tight. His crave for her started again when she came in with the black dress, but his wife was there and every other person, and it was his father's burial. But there was nobody stopping him now. It was late and he was ready. He puts her hand on his neck and he moved close to her. There was no better way to say sorry. He teased her lips with his and he could catch her breath easily. His hands begins to rummage
TAKEN thirty eight Bella didn't wake up as sad as she was yesterday. One would think she got over Clark too quickly, But it wasn't really like that, she just needed to cheer up cause she didnt feel the need to cry anymore. What was important was fate on her side. She was really lucky she spent his last days with him and that is one thing she cherished. She sat at the living room staring at the TV and turned when she hears giggles behind her. She stared at Allen and Flora and gave a nice smile. The last time she saw Allen like his was with Bella."Off to work mum"Allen said and kiss her on the cheek. " How are you doing mum?"Flora took her turn to kiss her on the other side of the cheek and Bella smile again. "I'm feeling much better after the tea you gave me" She said and wink to Flora "You made her tea?" Allen turned to Flora surprise at her kind gestu
TAKEN thirty nineThe air was tense! Luckily Allen and Flora had left for work before Marcus arrived. Stella's anger didn't subside since he left her yesterday, but what Marcus welcomed her worsen the whole mood in the house. It weaken Stella's knees."Mum, please I know nothing about this. What is Marcus saying"Stella tried playing on the safe side as she looked up to Marcus mother for support. She really didn't know how to handle this situation. She has been caught. She really has!"Mum? I'm not your mum Stella. Never was. Now if you still want to stay in this house. Tell my son who you've been with"Bella spat. She didn't know how her son found out about what she had seen that night at the club, but somehow she needed to play on her son's side. She wouldn't let a woman cheat on him She was a victim of that. She wouldn't allow this one.Marcus turned to his mother. He wasn't expecting that kind of reply from his mum. She talked like she knew something ab
TAKEN fortyShe stiff at the sight of Yvonne beside Allen's car. Every nerve in her body start to quiver. Where in earth did she come from. It wasn't weekend. When did she get here. How did she get here. Why was she here. Her eyes met with Yvonne's and it wasn't a friendly gaze. She could sense her girlfriend was mad. She hurriedly leaves Allen's arm and gulped down in guilt. Yvonne walks towards the high if them and she gave a smile"Good day sir"She bowed a bit to Allen."Hi Yvonne"He didn't know why tonight was not favouring him. Here he was trying to settle his brain about Stella's pregnancy and here comes Flora's girlfriend seeing them together. Was he just destined to have other people's property. He was scared too. Scared that Flora would say what they had was a mistake and would go back to Yvonne. Scared she would reject the proposal he made earlier today. Scared he would lose everything and start all over again. Why was he the unlucky sibling.
AUTHOR'S NOTE.LESSONS?Not all story has a morale lesson, but luckily TAKEN does. Being set in a Marriage standard, there was bound to be something to learn, maybe one or two or even more.You see, a big fact about fictional story is that 90 percentage of those reading can relate to 75 percent of the scenes and conflict because we are our own story.But note that if you're facing the same thing in a story you read, it doesn't have to end up the way the story did.I wouldn't point out the characters mistake as wrong nor would I point their achievement as right. Because we all have different point of view.Whatever felt right in this book to you is right and whatever is wrong to you is wrong. No matter what any other person says.FAVORITE CHARACTER?Maybe I should announce my favorite character. Haha. But it doesn't make any other character feel less important.Your favorite can be the Protagonist or the Antagonist

And like he had informed them, he was just going to say his last bye to that woman he once married.He sighed and turned to the other graveyard right beside it.The only regrets he had was not saving Jenifer on time that day. He had seen the message, but he was didn't really think Stella was dangerous to that extent.

TAKEN fifty sevenYvonne stared despondently at Flora. It was like a wasted effort like she thought. Her doubts were obviously cleared and she didn’t need a reason to be here anymore. But it hurts her that Flora wouldn’t be coming with her. She had read about sexual change in taste but never experienced. She knew Flora’s was bound to happen because of her previous relationship and because she was the one who took the first step. But she didn’t want it this fast. She was always concerned about her job, but she still wanted Flora to stay with her.Flora was not happy she disappointed Yvonne when she had to fly down to pick her up, but she really wanted a life with Allen instead. She was more happy with him and wants to start a family in future. She had said sorry to Yvonne countless times. She knew sorry wasn’t going to change a thing, but that was what she could offer at the moment.She had come to pick her remaining stuff fr
TAKEN fifty six.Spencer didn’t understand what was going on in this family, but he definitely knew that it was a conflict he shouldn’t interfere in. But with the kind of amount Stella was offering him, he had to do what she wanted. As far he was going to be safe at the end. He had bargained a certain price for the job, he was not going to do it himself, so he still had other people to pay and he insisted on the high price for Stella.She literally agreed without much bargaining. “You listen and follow my instructions very well. Make sure you get a call from me confirming before you go ahead” she pointed.Spencer nod and gives her shake. “Nice doing business with you Stella” he said and gave a wink.If all the trouble was not so much, he literally wanted to lure her to bed. But he changed his mind, and he didn’t think she’ll let him anyway. She seemed too bothered herself.On getting home, Stella barges
TAKEN fifty five.Maybe she had reconciled with her husband. But Stella definitely had other plans of hers. She had always had. She wouldn’t deny how happy she was to finally get Marcus to forgive her. She really thought she was going to lose the game this time around, but luckily, nature was on her side. Like she had expected, Yesterday sex with her husband was blissful like their marriage was before she destroyed it and before he finally destroyed it too. She didn’t think of Marcus as someone who would cheat on her and maybe that was what gave her too much guts to do so. Also, one cannot tell if eh would change in future. Rose had predicted something like this and it finally happened. Rose was more experienced in the Marriage contract and just like Stella, she had trusted her husband too much. Not until he started sleeping around too. She definitely wanted the best for her friend, so she warned her beforehand. At first Stella was adamant about cheating on Marcus,
TAKEN Fifty four It was his turn to have more frequent sleepless night like Stella have been having. Turned out he was an asshole himself shouting and making a scene about his wife when he was doing the same shit secretly with an excuse of trying to save his marriage. Could Jenifer be right? Stella could suspect them both. But Stella knowing about it? He didn't think so. Marcus couldn't get enough sleep at night. He just kept thinking about what Jenifer had told him. He was caught by mum and that was why she left, she must have been so disappointed in her son, doing the same thing their father did, no one to lay an example. Well maybe Allen was the good one. He was obviously from the mother side. But if Stella knew about it why was she keeping cool. He decided to ask her. But how was he going to do that. He didn't want to be too direct too. He turned to Stella, her eyes was closed as he watch her sleep. Was it time to for
