Ciara slept off in the car after her phone conversation with Quinton, which led her to crying for hours unending.

“Oh my goodness, I really messed up,” Ciara had said to herself.

While she had been consumed with finding out secrets about her past and fighting to know the truth about her mother who was already dead, Ciara had neglected the one person that genuinely loved her and treated her like a friend and daughter.

Aunt Mary.

Ciara had never felt this guilty about her actions this much. If only she had just allowed the situation with Rudge and Samuel’s hurtful words to fly over her head, she might have been there by Aunt Mary’s side. She would have dedicated every second and minute talking to Aunt Mary. Maybe she would have died anyway, because that had been her second relapse, but still, Ciara would have been there.

“I should have been there,” Ciara scolded herself in tears.

She would not also be in the middle of nowhere with a stolen car, crying her eyes out. Ciara was doomed, a

    Samuel had a restless night. He barely slept a wink the entire night; he was thinking of Ciara Summers.Not that Samuel had concluded that she was completely innocent; she still stole his car and disappeared, and she was still responsible for his mother’s death, an offense Samuel would never forgive her for. After Samuel was kicked out of the motel, he had lingered around for hours, but then again they had threatened to call the cops on him for trespassing. Samuel had intended to wait outside for Lottie to finish her shift and come out so that he could accost her, but he had been warned sternly.And Samuel was avoiding having anything to do with issues with the cops, so Samuel had left in defeat. But he had been more restless than he had ever been, and deep down, Samuel had blamed himself for not believing that Ciara was speaking the truth about lodging and spending the night in that hotel. And for Lottie to act that way when he confronted her, he knew that there was something fishy

    Ciara’s bitterness and anger continued to grow as she watched them sleeping peacefully. How could they, or anyone at all sleep this soundly when Ciara’s world was crumbling to the ground? How could they be cuddled up in love when nothing worked in Ciara’s favor?Ciara knew that if she continued to be the victim, she would always lose. Her only dilemma was how to get two of them tied up so that she could carry out what she already planned in mind. Ciara suspected that Martin was not as weak as he displayed himself to be earlier, because the man she met in her hometown was nothing like what she was seeing now. Ciara thought of tying up Martin, because she felt that she could handle an untied Lori, but after thoughtful consideration, she realized that it was a terrible idea, because Lori had fooled her into thinking that she was friendly and innocent and harmless, so Ciara was not about to allow the fact that Lori was a woman fool her. Then if she tied up Lori, Martin might overpower he

    Kingston got dressed in a pair of jean trousers and a T-shirt, and headed to the club that Samuel instructed him to go to. If he wanted to get the job done, he would have to look the part.Kingston felt uneasy and uncomfortable as he headed to the club. The last time he had been to a club had been more than five years ago, before he started to work for Samuel as a driver and a bodyguard. Ever since, he had forgotten what going to the club felt like, and he had also forgotten what being with a woman felt like. So Kingston began to rehearse what he would say and how he would say it when he eventually comes across the receptionist turned stripper. It was a good thing that when Samuel had confronted her with Ciara back then in Ciara’s hometown, Kingston had been waiting in the car, otherwise he would not have been able to pull it off. Kingston loved and adored Samuel Fury, and his loyalty to him ran deep. Of all the people that Kingston had ever encountered and worked for, none of them

    Ciara watched Lori after Martin left them to go and go and get petrol for Ciara’s car. Lori had a stubborn expression, as though her resolve could not be broken, but Ciara was more stubborn and determined than Lori could ever be.“What do you aim to gain from this?” Lori was the first to break the ice. “What you and your lover had hidden from me,” Ciara said, “But first of all, did you harm my child?” Ciara asked dreadfully, afraid of what the answer might be. Ciara feared that if she discovered that Lori had tampered with her baby, she would kill her with her bare hands. That was the only thing Ciara had to live for. Without the baby, Ciara was lost and nowhere to be found, because if she should be arrested now, she was certain that she would never get out.Lori scoffed, and then she began to laugh throatily. The laughter was as though Lori was intentionally mocking at Ciara. Ciara cocked the gun towards Lori threateningly, but she did not stop laughing. She laughed until her eyes we

    Kingston patiently waited for Lottie to return so that they could leave. He turned and looked around the club, and everyone seemed to be focused on why they were there. No one seemed to really care, and that made Kingston more at ease.His phone beeped, and when he checked the caller’s ID, it was his boss, Samuel Fury.Kingston looked around again to be sure that no one would eavesdrop on his conversation. When he saw that the coast was clear, Kingston cleared his throat and answered the call.“Boss,” Kingston said as he picked up the call.“How is it going?” Samuel’s voice boomed over the receiver. His sounded worried, tense and unhappy, making Kingston deeply worried for him.“Are you okay?” Kingston could not help himself but ask.“Kingston, how is it fucking going?” Samuel asked, upset. Kingston shifted in his position. It always broke his heart any time Samuel Fury refused or turned down his show of concern and affection. He cared deeply about Samuel Fury, because he was the bes

    Kingston felt the bullet hit his right leg, and he groaned out in deep pain. The dead silence from Lottie made him suspect that she had been badly hit, maybe even dead. Kingston did not have the time to check who had shot at them, because right after he was hit, more bullets came flying. Fortunately, none of them hit him again as he doggedly went around the car and quickly got into the driver’s seat. Luckily for Kingston, Samuel Fury’s car was a bullet-proof car, so as long as he had been able to enter the car, he was somewhat relieved, because he knew that none of the flying bullets would hit him anymore. Kingston quickly glanced around, trying to see if he could catch sight of the person who was shooting at them, but he could not see anyone. He was also confused, perplexed and shocked that none of the club’s officials had heard the gunshots and come to their rescue. So Kingston turned on the ignition and proceeded to drive out, because the faster, the better. The fact that the car

    Ciara watched Lori whom she had made to pass out by hitting her on the head with the big gun, and only then did she realize what she had done.She hadn’t meant to do that, but Lori had done nothing but infuriate her and test her patience. Ciara sat in the cabin room, close to Lori and waited. Lori was still breathing, which meant that she only passed out, so Ciara had no fear. The only regret she would have had would have been that she would not get any information from Lottie, but then again, she wasn’t even cooperative, so being awake was practically infuriating and useless to Ciara.Ciara waited and waited. It had been a while that Martin left, and he seemed to be taking too much time. She could not exactly recall the distance of the city to the woods, although she did remember that she had driven for such a long time before she arrived at the cabin, and also, she was certain that Martin would go in search of petrol on foot. It was getting to dawn, and Ciara needed to get all of

    Ciara hurried to the main cabin where she had been kept. It would not be described as a living room, because the features that usually adorned a living room were missing. The only parts of the cabin that could be tagged were the kitchen and their bedroom, because of what they had there. Before Ciara hurried out of the room, she quickly checked to be sure that Lori was still alive and breathing, and when she saw that Lori was, Ciara was a little relieved.Martin entered the cabin just as Ciara came out of their bedroom still holding the big gun. Her eyes met with Martin’s eyes, and Ciara tried to hold his gaze as good as possible, so that he would not suspect anything.“Did you get the petrol?” Ciara asked Martin.“Yes, I did,” Martin answered as he raised a medium-sized gallon of petrol. It was only then that Ciara even began to perceive the smell of it.“Good,” Ciara said.“Where is she?” Martin asked Ciara, then without waiting for an answer from Ciara, he began to call out loudly.

    Ciara heard a knock on the door and she went to open it without an iota of fear or dread; all her enemies have been put behind bars.Ciara got discharged from the hospital two days ago, and she was yet to make that call to Samuel Fury that she had wanted to make, because she was still dazed about the revelation.“The world is truly a small place,” Ciara had said to herself, breathlessly.Who would have thought that Samuel’s son would be birthed by the same doctor? Heck, who would have thought that the mysterious man that Ciara had spent that night with was Samuel Fury? Ciara trembled at the thought of telling Samuel that her son was his, because she fully believed the doctor even though she was yet to see Samuel’s left thigh, and that was primarily because they hadn’t been really intimate.Ciara almost passed out when she opened the door and found Samuel Fury standing before her. They stared deeply into each other’s eyes for a couple of minutes without saying anything, and Ciara could

    It had been several months now, and Ciara was glad that she hadn’t been found, because deep down, she knew that Samuel Fury would be looking all over the country for her. Her bump was big now, and the doctor she had begun seeing already told her that she would be due any moment from now. Ciara wanted Samuel to find her, desperately for that matter, but she knew that if she let Samuel find her without closing this chapter of her life, she would never be complete.Ciara was free now, and she knew this because she was lucky to be present at a coffee shop when Colt and Ruby’s court verdict was read. She wondered why Linda Luscious wasn’t also in the stand, but Ciara pushed that out of her mind.Her only goal and desire right now, before she had her baby, was to see her mother’s grave.“Coffee, as usual?” The coffee server asked Ciara.He was an elderly man who seemed to have seen better years, Ciara almost felt pity for the man, but then again, he seemed to be doing what he loved.“Yes,

    “Mr. and Mrs. Luscious, you are both under arrest,” the cops rounded up Ruby and Colt in their home a few days later.“We did nothing wrong!” Colt tried to play defensive, but it was already over for them.“Martin and Hayes have testified against you, Mr. Luscious,” one of the cops informed Ruby and Colt.“What about our daughter, Linda?” Ruby asked.“Mr. Samuel Fury decided not to charge her, but the both of you must answer for your grievous crimes,” the cop told them.Colt and Ruby hung their heads in shame and sadness as the cops handcuffed them and took them away.A month later, Samuel sat in the courtroom, waiting for the judge to pass her verdict on Colt and Ruby. They looked devastated, but Samuel was not moved. As he sat there, he felt relieved that he would be getting the justice he deserved, as well as Ciara Summers. Jess had tracked Hayes down when he was trying to run away, and had handed him over to the cops. A lot had happened since Ciara walked away and never returned,

  • The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury    What Truly Happened

    “It happened two years ago…” Linda began as her mind drifted back to that day years ago.Linda was involved with a perverted old man. This was all because of how reckless she had been living.“Why don't you show me some love toots?” The old man crossed the line, touching her in ways that were unacceptable.“Stop it...” She did her best to resist the man’s grip and the two engaged in a struggle. Eventually, Linda drove her stiletto heel into his skull. The man plopped to the floor completely lifeless.Linda’s heart pounded as she stared at the lifeless body, “He’s dead.” Linda covered her mouth after realising that she had taken the old man’s life.“Think Linda, now is not the time to panic.” She took a series of deep breaths to calm herself as she wiped off her fingerprints from the heel. “What do I do now?” After a while, Linda called her mother.“Mom...” Her voice was shaky.“What is it?” Her mother asked, a hint of worry was evident in her voice.Linda shared her current predica

    Ciara waited patiently for Rudge to show up in the location that he sent to her. She was not agitated. She was not afraid. She just wanted to be fully and completely free. When it would happen, she would no longer live her life in bondage, or under the mercy of anyone, but she would know what happened that exact day, and she would be completely free, because Ciara knew that she did not kill that man. Ciara was not even capable of murder, and what happened with Lori’s baby had been a huge mistake. Ciara hadn’t thought of it before now, but she was certain now that Linda and her parents framed her and caused her to spend time in prison for a crime that she did not commit. She wouldn’t be surprised, because several times, aside from the incident that happened on Linda’s twentieth birthday party, there had been other cases that Linda had lied on Ciara, and Ciara had taken the fall for Linda’s recklessness.The only problem was that Ciara did not know exactly what happened.Once Rudge tel

    Ciara was still shaken from the whole episode that happened at the cabin. She had been dazed for hours now, unable to react at all. Martin had meant to kill her. He would have driven the sharp knife into her stomach, and then, he would have killed not just her, but also her baby. Martin hadn’t called her to confess a thing to her. Instead, he had tricked her into coming just so that he could avenge the death of Lori and their baby.Suddenly, instinctively, abruptly, Ciara got out of her shock. She looked around frantically; she was back at the penthouse. Ciara jumped up as though the couch she sat on had caught fire.“How did I get back here?!” Ciara asked no one in particular, because she was alone in the living room. “Samuel?” She called out, but no response.She continued to turn around frantically until Jess arrived from the kitchen, carrying a glass of warm water.“Who are you and how did you get in here?” Ciara asked Jess as though she was about to launch an attack on her.“Don

    “Miss Luscious, this is not a risk I would advise you to take,” the doctor said to Linda.It was still morning, and Linda had left the house without her parent’s knowledge, but she knew that she had to do what needed to be done. Linda was still angry with her parents, especially with everything that was unfolding, and it was beginning to dawn on Linda the severity of the situation.“I have to do something,” Linda had said to herself the night before, “Because I cannot go down with my patients, because I wasn’t even there when they did most of what they did.”Linda had begun to make escape plans. For days now, she had been starving, although she usually sneaked into the kitchen, but it was usually almost futile, because she only met crumbs of canned food. Linda could not make coffee to save her life, because she had helps around the house for those things, but now that they were all gone, Linda could not recall the last time she had a proper meal.“I am too young to go down with my par

    Ciara entered the cabin, and she was met with an eerie silence that threw her off balance. At first, she thought Martin had tricked her into coming to the cabin, because it looked and felt oddly deserted. “Hello?” Ciara called out calmly, not wanting to be too loud so that Samuel who was outside would not get the wrong signal.It was late and quiet, which meant that any noise at all was liable to travel far. “Is anyone home?” Ciara asked, but she remained rooted in her spot.She could not bring herself to even check the other parts of the cabin to be sure that it was completely empty, because somehow, even though Ciara could not explain it, there was something dreadfully dangerous about the cabin. It did not feel like the cabin that hosted her some weeks ago.“Is anyone home?” Ciara called out again, but she was met with absolute silence.Then her shoulders dropped in disappointment; Martin had tricked her into coming here. When would this ever end? Why did it always feel like Ciara

    Jess slipped into the car beside Samuel, replacing Ciara, and Samuel jumped in fright.“Jeez, you scared me!” Samuel said after he was able to catch his breath.“What is the fear for? You have been in worse situations, Samuel Fury, so why are you jumpy?” Jess asked and looked at Samuel, and she became more shocked when she saw that Samuel was visibly shaking and sweating. “Damn, Samuel, are you about to faint?” Jess could not help but ask.Jess looked at Samuel, seeing him vulnerable and scared to his bones for the very first time since she had known him, and it dawned on her that Samuel was this way, because Theresa went to the cabin on her own, in danger. There was no other logical explanation to why Samuel was acting as though he was being faced with death.“Oh, I see,” Jess said with a grin.Samuel looked at her, confused. “When you grin like that, you are being mischievous, and now is honestly not the time for that,” Samuel said, angry and irritated. “Don’t you read the room?
