Cindy wrapped her arms tightly around her mother's neck and sobbed. She regretted her attitude toward Megan and wished she could undo it. Megan's accusation bit into her guts, but she knew she deserved it. Cindy had never taken time to get to know her sister-in-law and just went with the flow, insulting and humiliating Megan whenever the chance arose. She didn't even know why she hated Megan and was easily incited by Liana to mess up Megan.

The few weeks before Benny's kidnapping were the best. She would always get to Benny's school before Megan and wait outside the school gate obediently until Megan got there. They would then pick Benny up and proceed to the park, as was the mother-son routine. She always made sure not to impose on their time and had to politely ask to be involved in their playtime.

With time, they eventually warmed up to her. Running around the park with Benny, taking him to the swings, and having ice cream with him while his mother kept watch over them as she sat o

    Cindy looked up as her door was violently pushed open to see Megan's face, awash with pain, staring at them. She had also been shocked by Liana's words but never expected that Megan would hear such heart-wrenching words."How can you be so senseless?" she screamed at Liana as she sprung from the bed and rushed to Megan who had folded in shock.Logan, who had been leading Megan to the kitchen to make her a meal after a lot of coaxing, rushed into the room just in time to hold her before she hit the ground. Together with Cindy, they carried her back to her room while Liana was left smacking."I hope she dies from the shock," she said out loud. Cindy, who had gone back to her room for a blanket because she wanted to sleep next to Megan to keep watch over her, was appalled by what she heard. She felt like she was seeing Liana for the first time, mortified by her character."What is wrong with you?" Cindy threw a slap at Liana's face leaving a bright red handprint. "I never knew you have s

    Athena woke up to a relaxed evening. This was her third day of vacation and she wanted nothing more but to laze around all day and enjoy the local cuisine. She knew that a month of rest would take her back to factory settings and maybe change her perception of certain things.Like a lioness that was waking up from a nap after a sumptuous meal, she slowly walked to the window and opened it, taking in the early evening view. As she looked up at the cloudless sky, gazing at the twinkling stars, she thought of a long time ago when her life was carefree and full of laughter. The nearby houses were already lit, and children could be heard playing in the streets.Being a private investigator was beginning to take a toll on her and the last case made her restless for change. She had taken this vacation in a remote village so that she could have some reflection time and also focus on her training that had taken a back seat.A family had recruited her services to investigate the disappearance o

    Athena came back from having dinner and as she approached her room, she found it odd that the door was slight;y ajar. She was sure that she had locked the door as she was never that careless. She slowly moved forward as she took out the gun that she discreetly tucked into the waist of her jeans trousers.Hiding herself on the wall, she nudged the door open with the butt of the gun, her heart pounding. Just as she was preparing to count to three before budging in, she heard a distinctive giggle and two heads popped up the door."Surprise!" She stared at her two best friends, wondering how they had tracked her down."What are you guys doing here" she exclaimed then hugged them tightly as they all fell on the sofa with girlish giggles.They had been best friends from the first day of High school and they had been inseparable since. Their friendship had spanned years of high school broken hearts, college relationships, university graduations, successes and failures in workplaces; seeing

Can't you hear him? Benny is calling me!" She jumped up and rushed toward the main door, but one of the policemen restrained her before she could reach it.Frantically, she tried to break free, but Logan carried her back to the couch. Gently patting her back, he tried to calm her down and asked the maid to bring her a glass of water."Benny's calling me! My baby is in danger!

    After taking a long, hot shower, Cindy put on her pajamas and headed to Megan's room. Megan was curled up in bed, staring at the wall. She was sure she had heard Benny's voice calling for help, but no one else seemed to have heard it. She wished she could hold her son, hug him, and kiss his chubby cheeks. Her mother kept watching over her, afraid that something might happen to her.Meanwhile, Bill was seated in the garden outside with Logan and Stefan, who were updating him on what had happened at the police station. "But how did you manage to get the recording?" Bill asked, unaware of Logan's background or his connections."Well, I have had several clients with airtight cases that ended up being thrown out before they reached court. We had a feeling that the police chief wasn’t being straight with us, so we bugged his phone," Stefan explained, cleverly omitting the details about who the "we" referred to.Just then, Logan's phone vibrated."Sir, are you in a position to talk?

    The grand ballroom buzzed with vibrant energy, the air thick with the murmur of conversations and the clinking of glasses. The party was in full swing, a celebratory affair following the successful signing of a crucial international investment contract. Yet, amidst the revelry, Rich, the company's usually charismatic CEO, stood apart. He was a solitary figure in a dimly lit corner, a glass of amber liquid clutched in his hand, its contents barely touched. The truth was, he hadn't wanted to be here. The weight of the day's intense negotiations still pressed heavily on him, and all he truly desired was the quiet solitude of his home. However, his position demanded his presence, a symbol of gratitude and success for the visiting investors. Across the room, Liana was a whirlwind of practised charm, embodying the role of the perfect hostess. She glided from table to table, her laughter echoing, ensuring her presence was felt by every guest. A carefully cultivated percept

    Queen sighed, running a hand through her hair. She had noticed the dreamy look on Megan's and the soft hum on her lips, indicating that something might have transpired that day. She had also missed classes, which had never occurred before."It must be Dante" she guessed."Queen, we cleared things up." She said as she smiled at her friend and explained what happened earlier.Megan's blissful ignorance was starting to grate on her nerves. "Megan," she began again, trying to keep her tone gentle, "I'm just saying, isn't it a little convenient that Dante suddenly has all the answers and Lizbeth is just… a liar?"Megan's smile faltered slightly. "But Queen, he explained everything! He said Lizbeth was just someone his family knew a long time ago, and she's always been a bit… dramatic. He said he told her to stop spreading rumours."Queen raised an eyebrow. "And you believe that wholeheartedly?""Yes!" Megan insisted, her smile returning with a touch of defiance. "Dante wouldn't lie to me.

    "Megan, Megan, wait up!" Dante's voice echoed down the hallway.Megan was coming from her room, ready to start her day. She had lessons lined up throughout the day and was already running late for her first class.She rounded the corner and headed to the lecture room when she saw him, Dante. He leaned against the cool, tiled wall, arms crossed, a familiar, persistent look in his eyes. It had become a pattern, this unexpected appearance wherever she went – the library, the cafeteria, even the quiet courtyard where she sometimes ate lunch. He had been stalking her, showing up wherever.A wave of frustration washed over her. Ignoring him had been her strategy, a silent but firm declaration of disinterest. But seeing him waiting there, so deliberately, sent a shiver of unease down her spine. Without breaking stride, she executed a sharp about-face, her heels clicking against the floor as she headed towards the staff room door. She would just pretend that she was there for her lecturer.

  • THE ABANDONED WIFE   YOU SLAPPED ME?

    Liana stood frozen, her hand pressed against her stinging cheek, disbelief warring with a rising tide of fury. The skin beneath her palm throbbed, a burning heat that mirrored the humiliation flooding through her. A stark red imprint was already beginning to surface, a visible testament to the unthinkable. Her lover, Rich, the man who had never so much as raised his voice to her, the man who had showered her with pampering and indulged her every whim, had actually struck her."What is going on here?" Rich’s voice boomed, cutting through the stunned silence that had fallen over the boutique."Babe… you slapped me? Without even knowing what happened?" Liana stammered, her eyes wide with a mixture of shock and outrage.Rich didn't even glance in her direction. His attention was fixed on the manager, the man’s badge a clear identifier amidst the unfolding chaos. "It would be best if you saw for yourself," the manager replied, his tone carefully neutral as he discreetly signalled to sec

  • THE ABANDONED WIFE   FLIGHT TO NEVERLAND

    Rich stood by his car, his gaze fixed on the endless rows of vehicles filling the mall's expansive carpark. A profound weariness settled over him, a bone-deep exhaustion that transcended mere physical fatigue. He yearned for escape, a desperate urge to slide behind the wheel and embark on an aimless drive, a journey to nowhere in particular, a flight to his own personal Neverland.The memory of his forced marriage to Megan surfaced, unbidden. He had envisioned a life of unrelenting misery, his only solace the sweet affection of Liana, his girlfriend. It was this belief that had fueled his resistance to the marriage, his deliberate refusal to acknowledge the genuine effort Megan had poured into their ill-fated union.But the landscape of his life had shifted dramatically in the few short months since his divorce. The rose that was Liana had inexplicably transformed into a sharp, unforgiving thorn. The woman who had once offered him immeasurable pleasure and comfort had morphed into

    Rich trailed behind Liana, his footsteps heavy with unspoken resentment. She had been relentless in her demands for a shopping excursion, her persistent nagging finally eroding his resistance. He had given in, hoping a few hours of retail therapy might appease her and grant him some much-needed peace.Liana, oblivious or perhaps deliberately ignoring his dark mood, was chattering animatedly about the latest trends and celebrity gossip. Noticing his continued silence, she skipped back to him, her movements light and carefree. "Honey, cheer up," she chirped, playfully swinging his lapel like a spoiled child seeking attention.Rich had been deliberately creating distance between them lately. He’d leave for work before the first hint of dawn, ensuring he was gone before Liana even stirred. Beth preferred to take her meals in her room, leaving Liana to navigate the vast, echoing spaces alone, boredom her constant companion. Even the household staff seemed to avoid her, materializing on

    The sight of Lizbeth’s tear-streaked face and trembling form tugged at the heartstrings of Dante’s friends. They exchanged knowing glances, a silent understanding passing between them. "Just let her be, Dante," one of them advised, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder. "After all, we grew up together. People might naturally consider her your childhood sweetheart." Dante bristled at the insinuation. "I have a girlfriend," he stated firmly, his voice carrying a clear warning. "So please, let this be the last time I hear about this!" He genuinely cared for Megan and the thought of her misinterpreting his connection with Lizbeth sent a wave of anxiety through him. He wanted to build something real with her, something untainted by past associations. Reaching for his wallet, he extracted a credit card and tossed it towards Lizbeth, who stood looking forlorn. "You can shop for whatever you want," he said, his tone clipped but not unkind. "I need to find my girlfriend." With tha

    The murmur rippled through the crowded hallways of the second floor, a wave of hushed excitement and morbid curiosity. Dante, his heart hammering against his ribs, propelled himself forward, his friends trailing close behind. The snatches of conversation they’d overheard – a fight, girls involved, and then the chillingly familiar name, Megan – had sent a jolt of adrenaline through him. He had to know what was happening.The scene that unfolded before them was a tableau of raw emotion. Lizbeth stood near the stairwell, her face streaked with tears that carved clean paths through the dust on her cheeks. Her voice, thick with sobs, reached Dante’s ears. "I was only trying to help," she choked out, her small frame trembling.The initial sympathy of the small crowd that had gathered was visibly shifting. Whispers turned to pointed glances, and a palpable air of disapproval began to emanate from them. Lizbeth’s eyes darted around, a flicker of panic in their depths. Her reputation, car

    "Country pumpkin!" The insult, laced with a cruel, mocking sweetness, sliced through the air, followed by the sickening thud of something soft and viscous striking the back of Megan's head. The sticky, pungent substance oozed into her hair, a grotesque parody of a country harvest.Megan, her heart pounding a frantic rhythm against her ribs, whirled around. She had been caught in the frantic churn between classes, the minutes slipping through her fingers like sand. Her last lecture had bled into the next, leaving her scrambling to make up for lost time. Now, she was faced with a trio of girls, their laughter echoing in the deserted hallway like the cackle of hyenas."What is your problem?" she demanded, her voice trembling with a mix of anger and bewildered confusion. She fumbled with her handkerchief, attempting to wipe the foul-smelling goo from her hair, the thought of returning to the hostel for a desperate, cleansing shower a tempting escape.The girl in the centre, a caricat
