Pregnant
When Maya's world is turned upside down by a surprise pregnancy, she's forced to make a choice: marry the father, Elijah, a mysterious and powerful man with secrets of his own, or face the dangers that have been lurking in the shadows of her life. As Maya navigates the treacherous landscape of her new marriage, she begins to uncover the truth about Elijah's past and the reasons behind his proposal. But the more she learns, the more she realizes that Elijah might actually be the evil she has been running away from, all her life ... An evil that had already stole her heart. Will Maya be able to uncover the secrets that Elijah keeps, or will she become the latest casualty of his ruthless ambition? Dive into this gripping tale of love, power, and deception to find out. “What are you doing?” I asked, my body shaking in fright. “That's not me” he said, smirking. “They are here for you, Maya. Your past have finally caught up to you. You move one inch, your beloved best friend goes down for you… another innocent blood smeared on your dainty hands” he said smiling wickedly. Slowly I walked towards him. I couldn't let Tiffany go down for me. I couldn't let another innocent soul die for me. This was my fate. My happy ever after was all a fairy tale after all. I took the pen, signing my name across the thin black line. Tears went down my cheek, dripping on the contract, the ink smudged on the paper. I could feel his warmth spread over me, his nose trailed delicately on my ear, wet sparks over it. “Welcome to your hell, Astrid Grey” he said, my real name rolling out of his lips like a curse.

The Billionaire's Prey Chapter seventeen
The VIP room was a shithole- it looked liked it had been used too many times by scumbags and dirty whores. But it would be enough for this night. He just needed to let off some steam.The door slammed shut as he pushed Tasha _or whatever she had called her name to be, against the door. A moan escaped from her lip as his lips found her sensitive bud underneath her flimsy clothing.“F*ck…please don't stop,” she moaned out. Trisha grabbed his head, smashing her lips against his, as his hands found the waist band of her panties. Already soaked with her juices.She clawed at his shirt, shredding it off him like a starving animal hungry for its prey. Her dress was a scrap of cheap red silk, unlike his expensive own. It was too tight, so he yanked it up, baring her half naked body to him. His hands grabbed her tits, pressing her harder to the door. “You want this, don't you?” He growled as his hands continued to rub on her nipples, eliciting a soft moan from her. She nodded, unable to spit

Maya's POVDarkness. The world around me was filled with thick darkness. It was heavy…the kind that would sink deep into your bones and then snatch your soul.Just as I was beginning to feel dizzy, a bright light shined brightly, almost blinding me.I didn't remember how I got there, but I knew immediately, I wanted to leave.Not until I saw a familiar face.“Mum,” I called out. My mum smiled at me as she drew near.“Maya, you're finally here,” she said immediately she came closer, engulfing me into a warm hug. Then I released myself from her embrace.“Where's this, mum? Why-why are you here…you're dead.” As soon as the words left my mouth, reality struck me hard in the face.If my mum was here with me, it only meant one thing.I am not a living being anymore.“Maya, you shouldn't be here. Go back home,” my mum said as she looked at me softly. Home?I realized that as I stood in this space, there was no pain, no betrayal…no Elijah.I wanted to stay here, in this place where there wa

*Beep beep beep* The heart monitor ringed erratically.“Maya! Stay with us now!” The doctor's sharp voice cut through the thick tension.Elijah stood frozen in the background.“She's going into shock, get the defibrillator ready now!” Elijah watched everything unfold. The way Maya's body convulsed violently on the bed. The way the nurses tried to hold her back down as the doctor tried to prepare the defibrillator machine.A strange sound left his throat as he watched her thrash around before the doctor finally pressed the machine on her chest.Suddenly, a nurse pushed on his chest, attempting to push him out. “You need to get out!”But he didn't bulge. His eyes remained frozen on the woman who laid that now laid lifelessly on the bed.“We're losing her. Clear!” Maya's body arched off the bed before throwing back on the bed again, limply.His hands trembled at his side as his breath cane out ragged.The last word he said to her began to ring in his ears—- Your life is a waste to me.

(third persons Pov)“You can't choose both. If you do, they both die,” the doctor exhaled heavily, fatigue written all over his face. “You have to save only one.”“You're supposed to be the best doctor in town!” Elijah growled at him. The doctor quickly moved back, scared the furious man in front of him might attack him.“There's nothing I can do. The drug had done too much irreversible damage before she was brought in. It's only a miracle that she's still breathing,” the doctor quickly said. “You came in almost too late.”The words hung in the air like a rope tied around his neck. ‘Too late’. He had been too late.She had been crying for his help, begging him to come save her, but he locked her voice away from his reach. His anger had pushed him to destroy almost two lives.What difference was he from her-the woman who had left his mother to die like a fowl, on the floor? He couldn't even protect his unborn child.His child__the one he had never really spared a thought to. He hadn't

Third persons Pov Maya sat on the cold tiled floor, hugging her weak knees to her chest. The room felt smaller now, more cold and dim. It was scary so she closed her eyes trying to calm her racing heart but it didn't work. Behind her eyes, Liz haunted her, her hands stretched forward to choke Maya.She felt the tears stain her cheek. She wanted to escape badly. But there was no way. Elijah knew what he was doing when he locked her up in there. Everywhere was high security locked. He must have planned this from the very beginning, she thought.She leaned her head against the wall, banging it slowly on the wall in frustration.“You're such a fool, Maya” she muttered to herself. “How did you not see the red signs. How could you believe he actually cared for you, damn” She stared at Liz unconscious form on the bed. Was she really hallucinating when she heard that sound or was it real? Liz was like a mother to her. She was like a mother to almost everyone. Seeing her so helpless in that

My breath hitched as the door clicked shut behind him. The room, dimly lit by a single lamp in the corner, suddenly felt smaller and suffocating . Elijah. His presence filled every inch of space, his height towered over my own small one, his eyes burning with something dark and unreadable. The silence stretched, thick with accusation.“Where were you about to run to again? China or maybe even Africa?” His voice was quiet. Way too calm. I felt the inevitable storm began to brew. A deceptive calm that made my pulse rise faster than if he had yelled“I—I heard something,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. “I thought—”“Don’t lie to me, Astrid” His words cut through the thick air, sharp as a blade. He took a step closer. “You knew exactly what you were looking for.”I shook my head, the fear forcing me to take a step back “Wh_ what? What are you talking about? I swear I don't know any_”“Didn’t know what?” Elijah sneered. “That my mother is still alive? That I’ve been keeping her he

My eyes gazed blankly outside the window as we drove away from the warehouse. My mind reeled with thoughts of Monica, the guilts starting to creep in, paralyzing me to the soft leather chair.‘Why did this have to happen?’, I thought to myself. ‘No matter what she did, Monica didn't deserve to die. All she did was love the wrong person’My eyes began to well up with tears as I thought of Monica's lifeless body on the cold dirty floor. In her death, she looked so innocent, I almost prayed to God to trade our souls. ‘What if I had done something different?’ I asked myself. ‘What if I had tried to reason with Monica instead of pushing her away? She could have still been here, hating me from the the corners’My guilt began to consume me, making me feel like I was responsible for her death. I knew it was rational but I just couldn't shake the feeling. It felt like a heavy load on my shoulder.As we arrived at Elijah's house, I felt a sense of relieve wash over me. I reminisced the softness

My mind still reeling from the shock, I failed to hear what Antonio was saying. The minute he walked in I recognised the scar under his chin. The scar I had planted. I almost smirked in satisfaction.“You have some nerve, don't you?” I finally looked up at him to see him already staring down at me.“Fancy seeing you, Antonio. It's clear the fire wasn't able to burn you to death” I smirked seeing the stone cold expression return back to his ugly face.“I'm glad to know you still have that smart mouth” he licked his lip, making bile rise to my throat. “But not even my obsession with you will save you from death now. You knew it was long coming”“Yeah, I know. I always knew it was you behind those black tinted windows. The scar made it easier. Not even the black mask could hide how ugly you were, Antonio” I said with as much calm I could muster. I couldn't let him see the fear behind my eyes or the way my heartbeat tried to match the one inside my belly. If only they would have caught me

Chapter One
Chapter one I sat at the bar, nursing my drink in my hands. It was rowdy, but I couldn't deny I needed the distraction. It had been two years since I left New York.“Hi. Mind if I join you?” I looked up to find the most beautiful man I had ever set my eyes on.“Sure, it's supposed to be a free world” I shrugged, trying to act non-chalant, when I was anything but that. He sat down on the stool beside me, never taking his gaze from my body. I couldn't deny that I loved his attention on me. I felt my skin burn with intense desire for this stranger. “I'm Elijah. You seem a little bit out of it” he said.“I'm fine. It's just the loud noise” I responded, averting my eyes from his hypnotizing ones.“You're at a bar. You should expect this.” “Hmm,” was my only response. “I didn't catch your name” he said. “I never told you…” I hesitated, unsure of how much I should reveal to him. “Maya”I looked at him, and just then I saw something flash in his green orbs. But it quickly went away as s...
