She hugged him tighter as she wept, breaking his heart and mixing his sense of relief with guilt.

' I should have found her earlier; she must have been so scared', he said in his mind, engulfing her in his arms tighter.

" I'm here now; I won't let anything happen to you", he whispered to her.

She couldn't find any word to say, but her heart was filled with gratitude, the joy that he did come for her, and guilt that she wasn't there when he needed her.

" I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Christian", she said burying her face in his neck.

" Don't say that, don't".

He broke the hug when he felt her grip soften, and her whimpers stopped to see that she had passed out. He pulled off his suit and wrapped it around her shoulder before carrying her into his arms and exiting the room.

He met his guards on his way out; they paved the way for him as he walked past with his woman in his arms.

" Burn this place down, "was the last thing he said before leaving, and they did as he commanded.

    He hung up and dropped the phone back to the table with no expression on his face. He loosened the towel and began to dry his body, his eyes stealing glances at Clarisse now and then. By the time he was done bathing, her clothes had been changed by the maids into something lighter. A short free gown. He quietly moved around so as not to disturb her while he put on a baggy black pant and a baggy silky black shirt. He slides his feet into the white slippers before walking to the bed where Clarisse is lying. He stood still with his eyes fixed on her, the only sound in the silence was his fast-racing heart admitting to every feeling his blank face had hidden away, afraid she'd slip away again, afraid she'd be gone again when he met her on that alter, his heart skipped so hard like it was being hit. Her eyes were so familiar, her face couldn't be mistaken, and when he verified her identity, his joy knew no bounds; it was a miracle, a restoration. His belief that everyone would be gone

    (5:06 am)Clarisse was the first to wake up, but not in the position she had slept. Her face curled up in a smile as she enjoyed the way he cuddled her tightly from behind. His breath was close to her ears; she could feel it, and his strong arm around her made her feel protected, but her smile soon disappeared from her face, replaced with a puzzled look.' what's this?', she asked in her mind feeling a strong rod poking her butt. She moved slightly, wondering what it was." Stop moving".His deep, hoarse voice whispered, sending rushes through her veins.' what's this? His voice ', her mind was in chaos, her face turned red with her heart jumping around, ' why did he sound so sexy?' she asked, wanting to hear more of it.She slightly moved her butt against it, this time earning a groan from him. When he didn't speak, she decided to make him." What's that? What's that thing poking me?".Her soft, tiny voice breaks his control, her innocent question drives his head.Again, he didn't sa

    She looked away in confusion and fear, ignoring Christian's laughter. ' how do people have sex? Maybe because he's too big, why did he have to be that huge?' she said in her mind but shot him a glare when he wouldn't stop laughing.Seeing her glare, he quickly composed and relaxed on his elbow while he lay on her, smiling. He could tell she was just too consumed by fear." Scared?", he asked teasingly.Her eyes dropped to his chest, not knowing what to say. This wouldn't be her first, but her first was with force, and it hurt her so much.'Will it hurt like that again?' she asked in her mind, swallowing hard.When he saw her expression, he lay beside her and pulled her closer to his arms, stroking her hair slowly after pecking her forehead. She snuggled closer, feeling loved and cherished." Will it hurt? Will it hurt so much?" she asked, pulling up at him slowly. 'The first time hurts too much, and he's so big, it'll be painful, 'she said in her mind, her face dropping again." Don

    " I don't mean share as in share", she said trying not to create a sexual thought in her mind, " what I'm saying is that, a normal husband and wife shouldn't have a separate room"," Yeah, you're right." Blue nodded, smiling. She looks so pleased and seems to enjoy conversations with her." And again", she looked at her intertwined fingers smiling, " I want to be his best friend, his lover, his partner, I want to love him more, I've made him wait for too long, I want to be everything he wants me to be"," And what of what you want to be?"," What I want to be, he's given them to me, and all I desire for right now, all my heart craves for, is to continue seeing his beautiful bright smiles, his sweet and pleasant laughter, I want him to always look at me with those lovely eyes with smiles on his face, that's all I want ".Seeing the way she smiled as she spoke, Blue clasped her hands together, clutched them to her chest, and looked at her with happiness and envy."

    Patricia and Alice kept looking around discreetly even after thanking the doctor and nurses as they left before carefully locking the hospital room door. Wrapped around their head are scarves and sunglasses. They heaved a sigh of relief as soon as they were left alone in the room with Ferdinand on the sick bed. " I was scared to death", Patricia said in relief, unwrapping the scarf off her head, same with Alice as they both collapsed on the chair, exhausted.They had sneaked Ferdinand away from the other hospital due to the people's riot in concern about their finances and the reporter's trouble; due to fear of being attacked, they had to sneak Ferdinand out of the hospital through the back door and transport him to another hospital discreetly." For how long are we going to continue doing this? Are we going to keep hiding for the rest of our lives?", Alice asked angrily," Of course not, it's all my fault ", Patricia said and her head dropped in sadness and regret," Yes, it's all y

    Alice drove back home, getting inside, she was welcomed by silence. She felt the oddity of her home like a wave of shivers to sink her heart. She swallowed hard, tears streaming down her cheeks, followed by anxiety. The home that's always bright and beautiful was totally quiet; no maid was coming to welcome her, and there was no movement around the house, and the beautiful fragrance that lingers around the air seemed to be fading. She shook her head in protest." This can't be our downfall," she said as the fear gripped her, " I can't be poor; I won't be poor."She rushed upstairs to her room; the image of her striving to get something to eat, the image of her being unable to afford what she wanted, and the image of her sleeping on an empty stomach drove her insane. It's an unthinkable imagination that must not happen to her. She frantically began to search for what to wear, scattering everywhere for her best dress.She found the short red gown with no sleeves and a sweetheart necklin

    Alice slammed the door of the car angrily before bursting into tears; her heart ached in a way it had never, and her body shivered as reality began to dawn on her." I've lost everything," she wept, " everything is gone, my friends, my wealth, all hope, everything has been taken away from me."She sniffled her left mucous into the right, placed her palm on the wheel, and clenched her fist around it tightly.~ you're a failure ~Dani's words echoed in her ears, and it made her body tremble; she could imagine herself becoming a laughing stock, from being a somebody to a nobody. It drives her insane; it makes her body quiver, and she wishes to break whatever she lays her hands on to vent her emotions.After some minutes, her sobs and cries stopped, and she lifted her head slowly with a switch of emotions. Her disheartened heart was replaced with the flame of rage and hatred, her eyes lit up with a dangerous glare, and her weak hands tightened around the wheel with fury." It's her fault,

    The guards were taken aback by the sudden arrival of a black car that zoomed into the building; the drive was rough and fast, bringing the guards to their feet and immediately getting their guns ready. They pointed the guns toward the car, but when the driver jumped out, they were relieved. They furrowed their brow in surprise and curiosity when they saw Kyle run in like he was being chased by death. He ran like his life depended on it and arrived in the sitting room; his sudden run-in startled the men inside and also took them by surprise. " Kyle?", Damien jumped on his feet on seeing Kyle. He looked at him all over and furrowed his brow, " What happened, brother? What happened to you?". Kyle collapsed on the floor exhaustedly and the men quickly helped him up to sit on the chair. Damien stood over him not asking a question and waiting for one of the men to give him water to do. After drinking the water, Kyle heaved a long sigh of relief.

It was a lot for her, listening to a family of hers plotting her death.Christian pulled her closer into his arms and whispered, "Are you okay?".She smiled bitterly and nodded, her chest getting tight and firm, " they were never my family", she said coldly." They killed my parents and now their daughter is planning to kill me"," Would you have gone truly? If I hadn't played this tape", Marissa asked," I would have, I would have agreed to meet her, but where she gets it wrong was thinking I would move according to her plans if she really wants my forgiveness, she'll come to see me, if we have to meet then I'll book a restaurant and I won't go anywhere without telling my man about it".Marissa sighed, " I don't think she'll want you to tell anyone that you want to meet with her "," That's for sure", Ryan agreed," I said I won't move according to her

    (Flashback)Ryan's words started repeating in her head once again, bringing her awareness to something she had never noticed or something she pretended not to notice. Realizing which relationship she wanted more and which relationship she never wanted to end, she picked up her phone after prioritizing someone she never wanted to think about or imagine losing.She took her phone and dialed Alice's contact; after concluding to meet, she went to take her bath and get dressed before calling Ryan.Praying and wishing he picked, she felt so relieved and happy when he did after the third rang," Hi, Ryan"," Hi", he replied coldly," Can we meet, please? I would come over"," Okay".Her heart ached when he coldly hung up; she swallowed hard, accepting the coldness, and with more desperation, she headed over to his place. After the short drive, she arrived at his house and took a deep breath, exhaling heavily before stepping out of the car.She knocked on his door and he opened the door." He

    ( very early the next morning)Alice walked out of the house and headed over to where Marissa's car was packed; she opened the door with Marissa's key and reached out for her bag; she opened Marissa's bag and took out the pistol.She smiled heartily at the gun, " beautiful", she uttered and threw the bag back into the car before closing it and heading back into the house.Her stomach grumbled as she stepped in; she went straight to the kitchen counter to make herself a cup of cornflakes and tucked the gun into her back pocket before heading to the room where Clarisse was tied.With her head banging and spinning, she slowly flickered her eyes open to a bright room that nearly blinded her eyes. Slowly, she adjusted her sight to the room light and raised her head to see Alice munching on something; when she took another spoon, she realized it was flakes.Her body felt numb, and she couldn't move; she looked at herself to realize her situation." Oh, you're awake", Alice said, grinning wh

Please don't tell anyone that you're coming to see me, especially Christian"," And why that?"," I did the wrong thing towards him also, he'd hate it if you tell him you're coming to see me and he might not accept"," Christian isn't that type of a person, he holds no grudge"," Still," her voice became sadder, " I want you to forgive me and also help me ask him for forgiveness; I'm just scared he'd refuse you to come and see me."Clarisse sighed, " don't worry, I won't tell him", she accepted," Oh, you're such a darling!

    On a pair of jeans short and a blue crop top, Marissa sat on the floor with a glass cup of alcohol in her right hand. She sat on the floor with her elbow resting on her knees, staring blankly into space. Her heart felt heavy, her eyes felt tired, and her busy mind kept replying to memories, not just any memory but her memories with Christian.Remembering when he first got enrolled into the school and how they bumped into each other, spilling her milk on her shirt, how he became Ryan's best friend and automatically became hers as well.She remembered how she always stared at him, how handsome his cold face was, how she was always eager and impatient to see him again the following day, and when it was weekend, she'd suggest hangout, which he never agreed to, but she and Ryan would suddenly show up in his house. She chuckled when she remembered the expression he'd give them." Ah", she heaved a deep sigh.Ryan's words started repeating in her head once again, bringing her awareness to s

Hey, you good?", Ryan asked moving on the couch," Of course not, I'm pissed", she said walking towards the fridge to get bottles of alcohol," What happened? Did someone upset you?"," More than upset me"," Who?"," Don't worry, just be my drinking buddy for this night", she said placing the bottles on the table." Tell me what happened, if not, I'm not drinking anything"," Ugh! Don't be childish, I called you to come over so that you can be my drinking buddy".Displeased to hear that, he sighed, " I will be your drinking buddy; I just need you to tell me what happened."Unable to keep it from him, she said fuming, "It didn't go as planned, the plan was to ruin the show, ruin the show dresses but she couldn't even get that done, she's so useless"," What, are you talking about?",Fuming, she said, "I want to make her pay, make her know her place, and not touch what belongs to other people.
