“Mom! Welcome mom!" I said, feeling relieved at her mere presence. “Oh my pretty daughter! I was so worried about you! How are you doing now? Are you alright! Should I take you to a hospital..!” She rushed towards the bed, sat down beside me, and tried to careful examine my body for any injuries. “Mom! I'm fine! You don't have to worry about me!” I was still saying something when the opens and Selena ushered doctor Kim into the room. “Hello, doctor Kim! Is my daughter in-law alright now? She said, her eyes glimmering with concern, and anxiety. “Yes ma'am! She is very more okay now, but she still needs bed rest” He replied, before proceeding to examine me. “Mom, you see? I am alright!” I said with a smile. “Alright, alright, if you say so! But just like he said, you need a enough bed rest!” She said, patting my hair. “Mom! That is exactly what I have been doing and frankly, I'm tired of laying down in one position all day long!” I said rolling my eyes, and she laughed softly. “
LADY AVE MERIDA POV I got home and the housekeeper informed me of the chef's prepared dishes. I actually instructed them to do the dishes before visiting Alex, but now, I don't feel like eating anymore.“Not now, I'm not hungry yet!" I said while walking straight to my bedroom. My husband went on a business summit, and not yet back. Pulling of my clothes, I entered the bathroom, turned on the shower and let the water flow over my body. It had a soothing effect on my rasing nerves.“I fell so terrible about this whole situation! I fell like I am deceiving her along with that jerk of a son. I really wish I can oppose this marriage but then I really want her to be my daughter in-law. She is different from the other girls around my son. Those ones are all golddiggers, only after my son's hard-earned money and fame if being called Mrs Chester.“What should I do, now?. Alex my dear, I hope you will forgive me when you finally learn about the truth in the future?” I said while the water kee
“Are you okay?” She asked on noticing my restlessness. “It seems you don't know why you got employed in the first place?” I turned to Selena who has been quiet all this while. “Don't pick on her, Chester! I was the one that insisted on taking a brief walk around the garden” she said frowning, and i kept quiet. Without saying anything else, I walked into the house with the both of them behind me. “How was the company today?” She asked me, on entering my bedroom and I paused, turned slowly to stare at her breasts looking rounded, and soft under those fabrics of hers. It seems she has not taken notice of my hardened dick! I might, fucking lose it anytime soon!. Slowly I walked back to where she was standing, slowly carelessly her hair, while looking into her eyes, widened in shock, and confusion. Is it not better if we both get confused on exactly what is going on between us? I can't be the only one whose feelings is getting messed up every fucking day. “Listen up, kitten! I am a war
“You tell me, Milady? You kept on asking after him every fucking minutes and I am wondering why?” "He is my friend! A very good friend at that! It is only proper that I ask after his well-being since the person in question suddenly disappeared without informing me" I said, getting worked up, now. "Come to think of it, Alex! If you guys are actually very… good... friends, as you claimed to be! Why then did he not inform you about not attending the wedding? I mean our wedding!” He said, his arm across his chest, silently waiting for my reply. “Wait a minute! You mean he knew you were going to get married to me?” She said, while sitting upright on the bed. “Alright! What the hell have I done now? Shit! Why can't I keep quiet sometimes? She is the cause of it! Always annoying with Murphy this, and Murphy that!” I said inwardly. “Hello! I'm still waiting for your answer, Mr man!” She said, looking annoyed. “Point of correction, honey! I am your soon to be husband! And it's better if
“She keeps on talking about Murphy. Have you seen Murphy? What about Murphy? Murphy this, Murphy that! I am tired of listening to her daily whining about Murphy! Why can't she talk about me, huh? After all, it's the same person!” I said, not answering his previous question.“Look, Chester! I am gonna side her on this one, after all you create this mess yourself! Come to think of it! I am still trying to figure out why you had to create a multiple identities for yourself! I mean why?” He said but I kept mute. “I believe you don't have a reasonable answer to that! But if I where you, I would stop with this pretence already, and come out clean! Or better still, use this opportunity to show her the real you!” He said, and I smiled at him. It was a smile of my silent gratitude to him. “I will! Thank you man!” I said still smiling, before shifting back the bottle of wine to him.“What are we friends for! It seems, I'm the only one left with the choice of fucking fresh hotties henceforth!”
“Thank you Selena, you did a great job!” I said with a faint smile, and she smiled back me, while trying to clip the white color veil to the bun styled hair. “This is my wedding? Am i really getting married today?”. Secretly pinching my arm just to be sure, the pain quickly explained the reality of my thoughts. Suddenly I felt weird, and strange. It was a mixed feeling of being homesick, and loneness. Blinking my eyes rapidly, I tried my best not to mess up the makeup. “Madame! Are you okay? You suddenly look pale!” Selena asked, peeping at my face. “What! Oh it's nothing, Selena! I am fine!” I said with a forced smile. “Seriously, I am fine, Selena!” I had to reassure her when she kept staring at my face. Those Amber color eyes of her, saying otherwise. “Go and inform them about us being ready!” I said, and she smiled before hurrying out of the room. Quickly I brought out my phone, and dialed a number. After going to the voicemail for the second time, I throw the phone on the
“Oh! They are here!” My mom said, giggling happily like a bride about to meet her groom. First, Christain entered the hall, followed by her with Selena holding her flowing gown, and then the three bodyguards attached to her. My heart started racing fast while she approach me, looking elegant in the wedding dress. Blinking my eyes rapidly, I snapped out of thoughts, when she was finally standing at my front. “What took you so long?” I snapped at her, and I then wished I never did. She jolt slightly, shifted backwards away from me, her face going pale. “Chester! What is wrong with you?” Mom yelled loudly at me. “That so harsh of you, brother!" My sister said with a frown. "Yeah! You can't yell at your bride on the wedding day!” Antonia said, her eyes widen in shock. “Dude, I'm surprised at your mannerism sometimes! I never knew you to be such a dickhead!” Daniel said, and I felt bad immediately. “Apologize to her now!” My dad said coldly, and the hall went dead silent. *********
“Darling! We are here!” A hand tapped my shoulder gently, while I slowly open my eyes to see us parked at the front of a villa. The sheer natural beauty made of exotic flowers, and serene atmosphere of this place were simply breathtaking, making it the most beautiful place, more beautifully structured than the other one. I thought that was all until we entered inside the villa, and my eyes widens on seeing the expansive marble floors, high-end appliances, and state-of-the-art home theater system were just a few things to mention. “My god! This must cost a fortune!” I whimpers. “You like this place?” He asked, and I was surprised that he could hear my whimpers. “I love it! It is beautiful!" I say, turning three hundred and sixty degrees to examine it's interior design and excellent decorations. “Well, am glad you did! Well to our honeymoon, darling!” He said still watching my mannerism “Honeymoon?" I turned to look at him. "Yes! Why? You don't like this place anymore?" His eye
Chester’s mind raced as he and Liam sat at the front of the sleek black car, the streets of New York blurred outside the windows. The tension between them was palpable, the quiet hum of the engine barely cutting through the weight of the situation. "I can't afford to alert Madeline," Chester said quietly, his gaze focused on the road ahead. "She’s playing this game too well. We have to keep everything under the radar. If she suspects we’re on to her, she might move Alex again." Liam nodded, his expression grim. "Agreed. We’ll use private investigators. They can follow the trail without raising any suspicion. No need for police, now. We need this to be clean." Chester clenched his fists. His frustration was barely contained. He didn’t care about anything else anymore. His world had become a desperate chase to find Alex, to bring her back from the nightmare she was in. Every second that passed without her made the reality of losing her even more real. --- Meanwhile, in a dark and s
The streets of New York blurred as cheater's car sped down the road. His mind raced faster than the car’s engine, his heart pounding in his chest. He was so close. Just a few more miles, and he’d finally be able to see Alex, to explain himself, to tell her how much he regretted everything. But the closer he got to Alex’s house written address, the more his unease grew. His phone buzzed in his pocket, breaking the silence that had settled over him during the long drive. He pulled over, his hands trembling slightly as he grabbed it. It was a text from Daniel: "Call me. Something’s wrong." Chester's stomach twisted. Without hesitation, he dialed Daniel’s number, the anticipation gnawing at him. “Chester,” Daniel’s voice came through the phone, urgent and clipped. “It’s Alex. She’s gone.” Chester's pulse spiked. “What do you mean, gone? Where the hell is she?” “Someone took her. We don’t know who or why, but they grabbed her and her son. No sign of a struggle, just—gone. The police a
As the evening wore on, the luxurious ballroom where Chester’s wedding was supposed to take place was now eerily quiet. The guests had scattered, and the only sound that remained was the faint rustling of fabric from Madeline’s mother and her family, who had tried to console the shattered woman in the wake of Chester's abrupt departure. Madeline, her face pale and tear-streaked, sat alone in a chair near the empty altar, her hands clenched into fists at her sides. The luxurious wedding gown that had once symbolized the beginning of a new life for her now felt like a suffocating shroud. Her mind raced with thoughts of betrayal and humiliation. She had spent so long trying to claw her way into Chester’s life, only for him to abandon her without a word. Her mother and the other family members kept trying to reach out to her, offering empty words of comfort. “He’ll come back around, darling,” her mother said gently, dabbing at Madeline’s tears with a lace handkerchief. “He has to. You’
The opulent venue was buzzing with excitement as the guests gathered, their eager whispers filling the air. The grand chandeliers cast a golden glow over the extravagant ballroom, and outside, the elite guests sipped champagne in a garden adorned with roses, basking in the spectacle of Chester's and Madeline’s wedding. Chester stood at the altar, a mere puppet of his family’s design. His chest tightened with every passing second. The distant clink of glasses and the murmured chatter of the crowd did little to drown out the chaotic thoughts racing through his mind. He couldn’t do it. He couldn’t marry Madeline. As the officiant began the ceremony, Chester’s gaze flickered to Madeline, standing beside him with her flawless smile and eyes that glittered with triumph. But all he could think about was Alex—the woman he had loved, the woman he had lost. His heart slammed against his ribs, and his breath caught in his throat as a text message vibrated in his p
The weight of the news still hung heavily in the air as Alex watched the announcement unfold on the television screen. The buzz from the media, the socialites, and the world beyond seemed to intensify as the forced engagement between Chester and Madeline Brooks was broadcasted. The lavish wedding details began circulating—grand venues, designer dresses, and the promise of a high-profile ceremony to match the family's elite status. It felt surreal to Alex, who had once been that woman—caught in the whirlwind of Chester’s world, a world filled with promises and expectations. Yet, here she was, standing at the threshold of a new chapter, away from it all. Her son stirred in his crib, pulling her out of her thoughts. She smiled softly, walking over to him, watching as his tiny fingers reached up in his sleep. Despite everything—despite the confusion, the heartache, the betrayal—he was her miracle. And for him, she would build a future free from the past, free from the shadows of Leon a
Alex sat quietly in the park, the soft hum of the city around her, but her mind was far away. She glanced down at her son, his bright eyes reflecting the sunlight as he played with a small toy in his hands. He was the center of her world, and every decision she made from here on out would be for him. But there was something else. Something growing inside her—an uncertainty, a curiosity, a question that she had tried to ignore for so long. Could she open her heart again?... Liam had been there for her in a way that no one else had. He had never asked for anything, never pushed her to be someone she wasn’t. The more time she spent with him, the more she realized how much she appreciated his quiet strength, his kindness, and the ease with which he made her laugh. It wasn’t love yet, not the passionate kind she had shared with Leon, but it was something. Something she hadn’t felt in a long time... Liam had made it clear that he wasn’t ru
The weight of the announcement still hung heavily in Alex’s chest. She had tried to stay indifferent, but the image of Chester, standing next to Madeline, his expression distant yet resigned, kept haunting her. It wasn’t that she expected him to sit around pining for her, but seeing him so publicly move on, so easily, was more painful than she anticipated. As much as she told herself that it was for the best, that she was better off without him, there was always that nagging voice in the back of her mind. What if things could have been different? What if they hadn’t fallen apart the way they had? Could they have found a way back to each other? But that was in the past. And now, all that mattered was her son. He had her heart and soul, and Alex was determined to give him the best life possible. As she sat in the quiet of her apartment, holding her son close, she felt a stirring of something unexpected. It wasn’t just a feeling of longing for a man who no
Chester could hardly believe the words Madeline had spoken to him three weeks later! I'm Pregnant? The thought made his stomach churn. He hadn’t been careful, but the idea of her carrying his child seemed far-fetched, especially given the haze of alcohol and the drug she’d so deftly slipped into his system. But the truth, as twisted as it was, couldn’t be denied. He had no choice but to go through with a test, something he dreaded more than anything. --- The Next Day... Chester sat in the sterile, cold hospital room, his hands tightly clenched around the armrest of the chair. The results from the test were about to be revealed, and with every passing second, the knot in his stomach tightened further. Madeline sat across from him, her face a mask of feigned concern. She had been playing the role of the victim perfectly, looking so innocent, but Chester could see through the charade. Still, despite everything, there was a part of him that feared what the test might confirm. A nurse
CHESTER BLACKWOOD POV I sat at my desk, surrounded by files, photos, and addresses, my eyes bloodshot but sharp. For the first time in months, i wasn’t drowning in whiskey or self-pity. i had focus now — and it all pointed to one city. New York.... My private investigator had finally unearthed a clue, subtle but undeniable: a hospital record flagged under a different surname, but the birthdate and the emergency contact screamed Alex. It was the only real lead he’d had since she disappeared. Daniel walked in unannounced, leaning against the doorframe, arms crossed. “You look like hell, but for once you look alive.” I smirked slightly, the first real smile in ages. “I’m going to find her.” Daniel stepped closer, glancing at the spread of documents. “And when you do?” “I’m not letting her go,” I said flatly. “Not again.” But deep down, anxiety twisted in my chest. If Alex had hidden herself this well, it meant she didn’t want to be found. --- Meanwhile, across in another city..
