Prison Gate

Ciara Summers stepped out of the prison just as the sky turned dusky. She had been granted a one-day bail, with her freedom hanging on the ticking clock. Clutching a piece of paper with an address scribbled on it, she boarded a bus parked at the prison gate. The ride took her through winding roads, and by the time she arrived at a secluded mansion halfway up a mountain, the day had surrendered to night.A silent doorman greeted her and guided her through the grand but shadowed halls, leading her to a dark bedroom. The moment she stepped inside, the heavy scent of blood hit her. Before she could adjust to the darkness, strong arms yanked her forward, pulling her into a tight embrace. A warm breath brushed against her ear. “So, you’re the last pleasure they sent for me... the call girl?”The words struck her hard. “Call... girl?” she whispered, tears welling up. Fear gripped her as her voice trembled. “Are you... dying?”“Yes. Any regrets taking this job?” The man’s voice was cold, his

City Hall

Samuel didn’t bother looking at Ciara. “You heard me,” he said flatly.Ciara nervously played with the edges of her dirty clothes. In a quiet voice, she replied, “Sir, this joke isn’t funny.”Samuel scoffed, his voice sharp as he retorted, “Weren’t you planning to marry me from the start?”His gaze cut into Ciara like a blade, his eyes locking onto hers. Ciara shivered and turned away, but Samuel grabbed her chin, forcing her to face him.In that moment, Ciara noticed his features more clearly—the cool, sharp lines of his face. He was undeniably handsome, with rugged stubble along his jaw. His suit was impeccably tailored, exuding luxury.It was clear to Ciara that this man was someone of importance. She glanced down at herself—worn-out, moldy clothes, messy hair, and a dirty face. She hadn’t showered in days, and the smell clung to her. The idea of the two of them getting a marriage certificate seemed absurd.Lowering her eyes, Ciara muttered, “Sir, do you think just because I’ve bee

Everyone Meets Their Fate

Samuel’s brows knitted together instantly. “What?” he barked, striding quickly into the bathroom.The room was empty, but his gaze landed on the wall, where a message was scrawled in blood: “Mr. Fury, regardless of our social gap, I’d never marry you. Goodbye.” The handwriting was precise and bold, reflecting the writer’s determined spirit.For a moment, Samuel stood there, dumbfounded. Could his research on her have been wrong?After a brief pause, he snapped out of it and issued a command. “Search the mountain!”He couldn’t let his mother’s final wish go unfulfilled.At the back of the mountain, Ciara clung to the thorny vines, carefully lowering herself down the steep slope. Her clothes were in tatters, but she managed to evade the Fury family’s search by hiding under a dense thicket until nightfall. Once darkness fully descended, she continued her escape, moving around the mountain until she found a way out.By dawn the next day, Ciara arrived at the Luscious Residence, her presen

A Month

Samuel had been searching for Ciara for a full month. Just when he began to think his investigation might have been too harsh, she appeared before him—serving as a waitress in the very room reserved exclusively for him. He had underestimated her. His eyes narrowed in disbelief as he realized she wasn't hiding; she was raising her stakes.“Director Fury, is something wrong?” The restaurant manager, who had been accompanying Samuel, could barely conceal his fear as he noticed the icy stare directed at him.“How long has she been working here?” Samuel's voice was dangerously low.The manager stammered, “A...A month.”A month? The same length of time since she had escaped from his family’s grasp. Samuel's blood boiled—she wasn’t running away, she was simply positioning herself to negotiate a higher price. Damn her!Ciara's eyes flickered with resentment as she met his gaze. It felt like a cruel twist of fate. Why did the world have to be so small?"I don’t know what you’re implying," she

Make Her Happy

Ciara never imagined she would see Samuel here, especially not like this. When she turned around, the shock on her face was unmistakable.Samuel leaned casually against the doorway, his expression unreadable, yet his tone was smooth as velvet. “You could’ve come to me if you needed help,” he said, his voice deceptively warm. “Why drag my mother into this?”Ciara was taken aback, her mind racing to catch up. Before she could form a reply, Samuel’s grip tightened around her arm, and without waiting for her consent, he began leading her out of the room.From behind, Mary’s voice echoed softly, filled with warmth. “Samuel, be good to Ciara. Make her happy.”Samuel only gave a brief nod as he shut the door behind them, his grip on Ciara’s arm unrelenting as they walked down the long hospital corridor. The moment they reached a secluded corner, his demeanor shifted. The kindness vanished, replaced by something far colder. Without warning, he shoved her against the wall, his hand coming up t

Ruby’s expression turned serious as she listened to Linda’s worries. “Calm down, Linda,” she said firmly. “You’ve done everything right so far. As long as you stick to the plan, Samuel won’t suspect a thing.”“But, Mom, what if he already knows?” Linda’s voice quivered. “He didn’t even bother to come. What if he’s planning something?”Ruby reached out, gripping Linda’s hand tightly. “You’re overthinking it, Linda. Samuel believes it was you that night because we made sure of it. Every detail matched—thanks to Ciara's letter.”Linda nodded slowly, trying to steady her nerves. “But what if I slip up? He’s bound to figure it out eventually.”“That’s why you must be cautious,” Ruby warned. “Remember every word from that letter. That night is your story now. Own it.”Linda swallowed hard, fear still lingering in her eyes. “But why would he marry me just because of that night?”“Samuel is a man of pride,” Ruby explained. “He can’t afford a scandal, especially with someone like you. And you

Overnight

Samuel walked into the bathroom, turned on the cold shower, and let the icy water hit him. Ciara, meanwhile, was curled up on the bed in the second bedroom, hugging her legs and berating herself. Why hadn’t she reacted more strongly to his embrace?“Do you really want to marry into a wealthy family, Ciara Summers?” she thought. “You’re so shameless. Samuel was clearly repulsed. How could he be interested in someone just out of prison and pregnant?”Her restless night was filled with self-reproach. She woke up early the next morning and found the living room empty. She quickly wrote a note on a piece of paper with her strong, neat handwriting: “Please excuse me, Mr. Fury. I assumed you wouldn’t return, and I’m sorry for using your bathroom. I’ll pretend nothing happened, and I hope you will too.”After leaving the note, Ciara went to the hospital to visit Mary. She hadn’t seen the housekeeper that morning, realizing that Mary had made arrangements for her and Samuel to spend the night

It's not worth it

Ciara stood frozen, feeling a surge of anger at Linda’s insult. She wanted to lash out, but the thought of harming her unborn child made her hesitate. Instead, she forced a smile and said, “Are you interested in discussing such matters?”Linda scoffed, her tone dripping with disdain. “I’m just worried about you catching diseases. You might ruin the atmosphere in my home.”“Then why invite me here and insist I stay for dinner? Seems like you’re quite interested in this kind of conversation,” Ciara replied coolly, her words stirring irritation among the Luscious family.Samuel’s gaze, sharp and cold, was fixed on Ciara. After a tense moment, he grabbed his keys, stood up, and walked out.“Darling Samuel, are you upset?” Linda called after him.“If you continue associating with people like this, I’ll reconsider our engagement and compensate you,” Samuel said coldly, not bothering to look back.“I understand, Darling Samuel. But it’s not worth it to be angry at this woman. Let me see you

Getting Engaged

Upon hearing the news, Ciara’s heart sank with despair. Samuel and she were supposed to be married, yet they felt like strangers. Now, Samuel was about to be engaged to her enemy—Linda.Her sorrow was compounded by the fact that she still didn’t know the cause of her mother’s death. She wanted to investigate but had neither the money to travel home nor the means to support herself and her child. All she could do was endure.Ruby, brimming with excitement, rushed to Colt. “Colt, is it true? Samuel and Linda are getting engaged? Did both families have a formal meeting first? Are Samuel’s grandfather and father okay with Linda, even though she’s adopted?”The mention of “adopted” deepened Ciara’s anguish. Linda and Ciara had been raised in the Luscious family, but while Linda was treated like a precious gem from the start, Ciara had been a foster child. She was taken there by her mother. however, she came back to get her Three years after puting her in foster care. But, a year later, her

His Calmness

Ciara was taken aback. It suddenly hit her that today was Samuel and Linda’s engagement party. She had heard Colt mention it the day before when she returned the money to the Luscious family.Linda, dressed in a stunning wedding gown with a diamond necklace and earrings, and a flower crown, looked like an angel. Compared to her, Ciara felt out of place. She was dressed in a white blouse covered in cinder block dust and a black skirt marred with scratches and lint.Ciara wondered why Samuel had invited her, making her feel foolish. A wave of anger surged within her. She faced Linda with a calm yet sad expression. “What am I doing here?”“You!” Linda snapped. “Ciara Summers, how dare you show up like this! Today is my engagement party with Samuel! You’re dirty and limping. Did you come here to ruin everything? Get out!”Linda’s engagement party was important to her. Samuel wasn’t fond of attention, so the party was kept low-key. The Luscious family found out only after her father asked
