As Delilah went down on her knees In order to look underneath the bed, but to her surprise she found a briefcase,“Jackpot”, she says to herself with an excited toneShe then tries to open it, as she tried to open it was locked and a code needed to be inserted into it inorder for the briefcase to open,“What am I going to do now,The excitement she felt began to fade away the moment the she realized the case was locked, she then takes it and tip toed off as she slowly went to pick up her bag and shoes but ended up hitting a table on her way outAnd that made the man wake up a little, Delilah panicked and remained silent and the man slept backShe sighed, and slowly walked out of his house and when she got to the downstairs door she began to run as if she was being chased by a dog or the policeThe next day.Where is Delilah, the man search all round the room and even went into the bathroom to check if she was there, but there was no sign of her, he then thought that maybe she was dow
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
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
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
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
“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
“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

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
