Carl's frustration reached a boiling point as he thought about Delilah's relentless harassment. "This lady is really getting on my nerves, but I don't know where she lives or where she even came from. Bullshit!" Carl yelled, his anger palpable as he picked up his phone to call Delilah. But at that moment, she didn't answer the phone."Oh, so when she calls and disturbs me with her incessant calls, I'll eventually pick up. But now, the dumb ass doesn't want to pick up. I don't want any lunatic person talking to my kids when I'm not present. Pick up, damn it!" Carl's anger reached a fever pitch.Back at Carl's home, his daughter ran towards him, wrapping her arms tightly around his waist. "Daddy, I don't know what's wrong with Liam. He's always angry by himself since the past few days. Maybe he's just missing Mommy.""Yes, baby, maybe it's Mommy that's why he's behaving like that. And, baby, I want you to promise me that no matter what, you will always love me," Carl said, struggling to
“Bunny, your baby's going to fall off your lap!" Mia yelled, dropping the trail mix she was holding and rushing to catch the baby before it could hit the ground."What's on your mind, Bunny?" Mia asked, concern etched on her face. "You seemed a million miles away.""Is my baby okay, Mia? Please don't mind me; there's just a lot going on in my head," Bunny replied, her voice laced with worry.The baby's cries pierced the air after hearing the sound of shattered glass."Hey, do you want to talk about what's bothering you, Bunny?" Mia asked calmly, sitting down beside her."Nothing's wrong, okay? Why don't you just focus on yourself and your own problems?" Bunny said abruptly, standing up and leaving immediately, as if Mia had offended her."That's weird," Mia muttered to herself, heading up to her room.Carl's POV:Oh man, if I don't get my mind back on my company and my partners, I'll lose a lot of deals.Third-person POV:Carl already knew it was time to bring Mia back home, but the p
“What could you possibly do to me, you’re such a good husband in deed by ordering the kidnapping of your own wife” the man says deviously as a weird smirk develops in his faceJust when the man and Carl continued to talk Mia woke up from her unconscious stateImmediately realizing where she wasShe quickly bites the man hand as he used it to cover her mouthMia runs with out looking back“Shit my hand this crazy woman bite my hand” the man then swung his hand in order to reduce the pain and begins to chase her down the stairs and into a nearby forest“Leave me alone who sent you, and what do you want to do to me you monster” Mia says as tears rolled down her cheeks as she runs ever deeper into the forest“I’m gonna get you and if I do your going to be sorry alright” the man says to himself as he ran after her even faster, his pace becoming an equal with hers “Somebody help me anybody, Carl!”“Someone please come to my rescue”Mia shouts in tears as the chase continuedShe then stop
“Bunny what are you doing!” Mia yelled in shock, she took hasty steps forward and grabbed the knife by the handleThey then began to drag for possession over the knife“Let go of the knife” Bunny yells manically “No you let go of it, what the do you think you were about to do now?”“Let go!” Bunny yells as she forcefully pulled the knife from Mia tried to strike her with the knife once moreBut luckily for Mia managed to push her away before the knife could pierce herBunny falls down and the knife ended up stabbing the couch and almost ending in her baby’s eye, the loud cry of the baby increased in volumeSilence in the livingBunny calms down and runs to her babyHer heart racing almost like it were about to pop out of her chest,She slowly takes a sit down on the floor and puts her baby on her lap“Ohh my baby” she then began to cryWithout any hesitation, Mia uses the opportunity to take her luggage and escape the traumatizing situation that had occurred,Running without taking a
"Let go of her!" Jackson yelled at the security guards, and they immediately released Mia.Mia's wrists were hurting, and there were bruises around them. "Why did you guys have to hold me so tightly? You couldn't even give me a chance to explain. Why would you think I wouldn't have the money to pay?" she said in a shaky voice."I was trying to explain myself, but you didn't even give me a chance. I was supposed to stay for two days, but I ended up staying for three. I had already paid for two days, which cost around twenty thousand dollars. Now I'm supposed to pay ten thousand more, but I lost my purse, and I've tried to look for it, but I couldn't find it.""I'm going to pay for it, okay? Just let the matter go, and also call the police and tell them they're not needed anymore," Jackson said."Okay, sir.""Mia, let's go. You're supposed to catch your flight, right?" Jackson asked, taking her luggage and escorting her to the airport."Oh, yes, but I still have about four to five more
Mia walked towards the car, noticing the driver had stepped away for a stroll. Out of curiosity, she opened the door and began searching the interior."What's a purse doing here? I thought he said he was single," Mia whispered to herself, confused.She pulled out the purse, eyes widening in surprise. "This is mine! How did it even get here?" Mia's thoughts swirled with question "That means he took it, but why would he do that?"Just then, Jackson returned, finding Mia holding the purse. His heart skipped a beat. "I can explain," he said, his tone low."Don't you dare say anything!" Mia's anger flared. "So you just wanted to embarrass me in front of everyone and your employees, too?" Her voice rose as she struggled to contain her emotions.Jackson attempted to explain, "No, let me—"Mia cut him off, her words spilling out in a rush. "Shut the hell up! Not everything can go your way. What you did today is unforgivable!"Mia stormed out of the car, shouting at the driver, "Bring down
“So may I just want to you too get someone to organize my room, it should be a red themed design with a lot of roses and a “I’m back” sign with red balloons,” Mia explained to may and some other employees “Okay ma’am!” A few minutes later… A honk was heard from the inside “Dad is back” Fiona says quietly to Liam “Ahh don’t make it obvious that something happened earlier, and that mum is back” “Okay Liam let’s act natural so we won’t look suspicious” “Hey kids” Carl says in a not exciting way but forces himself to be cheerful just because of his kids The kids immediately realized the reason why he wasn’t cheerful anymore and it was all going to come to an end because of their mum “I’m so tired I want to go freshen when I come back downstairs we will all have dinner together”, Carl says and was about to go up the stairs when he heard a voice “Daddy we have eating already why don’t you eat now and then go upstairs freshen up and rest while you are at it” Fiona says “
After Carl And Mia’s finished their awaited business, it was already morning and the two love birds were still tangled up in eachothers armsCarl eyes fluttered open softly and before him laid the one person who could break down his walls, the one person he changed forHer pretty brown eyes gazed at him with such warmth that almost made him melt into a puddle Where was that heartless part of him? Gone for good , he hoped “Good morning Desiré” Carl greets as he lays kisses all over Mia’s face which gave her a warm and welcoming feeling“Good morning to you too” Mia says and lets out a little laugh“Hope you slept well?” Mia asks jokingly“Mia you really want to tease me, we didn’t sleep at all and my night was the best thanks for asking” Carl saysAnd begins to tickle her“ I’m gonna get you lady, don’t worry I will show you who’s boss” Carl says tickling her even more, her addictive laughter filled the morning air“Carl stop please, my abdomen I’m gonna…..” a sudden sound was heard
falls down on his back,All he thought of was to runaway,Carl had already frightened the daylight out of him, people stared and tried to get him up but he refused,“You were screaming for help not to long ago now you are behaving adamantly, just go to heck”, said angrily by one of the strangers that walked passed by the street.“Ohh my goodness I gotta go,The young man stood and began to quickly run away the moment he sighted Carl and his son coming.“Hey stop there am not gonna hurt you I promise, I just want to give pay your money, apologies and also thank you for bringing my son back to us safe and sound”, Carl says with a forced grin on his face.“No you can keep the money, as long as I knew that I meant no harm am good sir, the you cab driver pushes the hand Carl brought forward to give the man his money.“No please accept it, and if it is about what happened inside early don’t mind me I guess I overreacted just a little bit, Carl says.Carl stood at the edge of the driveway, w
But the man refused to let him go, “you are gonna get hit,We can’t catch up with them, it’s to late.“Let me just take you home okay, then there will still be time for your parents to go to the police station and file a case with the description you will be providing.“Sir, Liam said with his voice low.The man pulled him into his not so new kind of car and took him home, the fear of getting himself in trouble.Both Liam and the taxi driver arrived at the mansion and Liam busted through the door, grabbing Mia and Carl’s attention, Mia’s heart skipped when she saw her son in a distressed look and their personal driver and Fiona were nowhere to be found.“Liam where is your sister, and why didn’t you wait for the driver to go pick you both from school, Carl asked.Before Liam could utter a word, the taxi driver walked in behind him inorder to collect the his money, Carl who had already began to assume the worst, and without any hesitation he went ahead and grabbed the young man’s colla
“What do you mean, she can’t be sick she has a childYour child I mean” Mia’s forehead folds as she continued to speak“She is sick and if not attended to properly she could lose her life”“Am sorry Aiden but that’s not my problem, that’s between you and bunnyI just want out of all this okay, Mia says“Why what’s wrong I thought you really cared for and that you two were really closeSo why did your tone and the way you were speaking to me change as soon As I mentioned bunny’s name”, Aiden curious, he asked in order to clear the doubts he had in his head.“There’s a lot you don’t know about, and I don’t think I would ever tell anyone about what happened or what she tried to do to me,I still have some respect for her and wouldn’t want to spoil her name just because of her baby”mai uttered while she began to fold her hand in to a fist.“You can tell me Mia, remember we use to be close friends in the past, but just tell me since I was once bunny’s husband, so I demand you tell me”“Sh

“Ohh my goodness”Carl sat across from Delilah, his fingers clenched around the edge of the table.In Carl’s mind, there was only silence a deep, suffocating void as Delilah leaned forward and whispered the words that shattered his entire world, words that made his dark past flash before his eyes“I want you to tell the whole world what you did to Mia before you married her” she said, her voice smooth almost amusedDelilah wasn’t doing that to get justice for mia or anything, but just to embarrass him or even get him arrested for a while.And anyways that could also make his business go down the drain as well,But Carl was left speechless for seconds and couldn’t think straight at the moment“Tell them how you raped her, you were really a monster”.Carl's breath caught in his throat.His entire body stiffened, and for a moment, he could only stare at her, his pulse hammering in his ears The air felt thick, suffocating.Then, barely above a whisper he choked out, “why will you tell me
For a second there Mia’s heart nearly skipped a beat, her eyes widened and she tuned sharply to look at him, her stomach twisting at the same time.But before she could react Carl’s entire demeanor collapsed. His breath hitched sharp and uneven like he had been thrown into ice water, his hands shut up to his ears and pressing against his skull as if he was trying to block out a deafening noise only he could hear.“No…no no no”, Carl muttered under his breath, and shook his head violently. His chest rising and falling really quickly.Mia’s own pulse was racing nkw and her eyes darting between Carl and the phone phone still vibrating on the nightstand.“Carl”, she called softly stepping closer it seemed he didn’t hear her“Carl” she called again and firmer this time, reaching out to touch his armHe flinched, his entire body jolting as if her touch burned.Mia swallowed hard and turned her attention to the phone, the screen was still lit and the call coming throughBut when she saw the
The sharp call call sliced through the moment like a knife,Mia instinctively turned her head, her gaze snapping toward the voice.Carl’s grip loosened, and the ring slipped from his handA soft gasp rippled through the crowd as the diamond tumbled in slow motion.Then…clickThe ring hit the floor.The voice that had called Mia’s name was still hanging in the air, waiting.Who ever it was, they had just shattered the perfect moment.Mia’s breath hitched as her gaze snapped towards the voice.Jackson santavo!Her stomach twisted.He stood there looking completely at ease in the crowd, a half smirk on his lips as if this were just another casual night.As if she hadn’t told him never to speak to her again.Mia’s heart racing, a rush of memories colliding all at onceThe stolen purse, the betrayal and the way she had turned her back believing that was the last time she’d ever have to hear his name,yet here he was.And then the second realization hit her like a tidal wave.He wasn’t just
What do you think that you are doing?!, Mia yelled the moment she saw her husband lifting up his plate of food, and for a moment she watched him as he flung his food awayMai stood there frozen and staring at the mess on the floor,the plate had shattered and food splattered everywhere.Her hands trembled not from fear but form frustration and her feelings were hurt.“Carl!” She called after him, her voice breaking as she hurried up the stairsShe reached for the door handle but it wouldn’t budgeHe’d locked it.“Are you serious right now, Mia’s voice cracked as she spokeHer heart racing as she rests her head on the door,“Carl, honey open the door am sorry okay, I don’t know why you are taking out all your frustration on meAnd you even went far in throwing away Mia food i could with love.Meanwhile Carl sat angrily on the bed and listened to his wife as she continued to speak at the other side of the door,His frustration and ego brushed aside, a wave of guilt washed over him as soo
Carl’s pov… I dropped the necklace back in the case it was placed in Delilah snorted, I rolled my eyes. “Here you can have it” I answered through clenched teeth. “I don’t want it anymore, it’s old fashioned anyways I can bet Your wife wouldn’t have liked it as well, you can count on me on that, Delilah made sure of placing her hand on her chest and sent me a wink, “For the love of God Delilah is so frustrating! At this rate, I could get a heart attack before I even reach home” I yelled as the wind whipped against my hair harshly. At Carl Gonzalez’s mansion.. “Honey I’m home”, I said loudly and my wife comes downstairs in a haste just to welcome me. Mia then helped me to take off my jacket then went ahead to drop it on the chair “You are back so early, is there anything wrong” The sunlight peeked through the window and reflected through the mirror and treasured her face and left me in awe until she turns around to glance at me. I tore my eyes away quickly not w
