During the drive back to the main house, Ciara remained stoic and quiet. She was stone-cold, and she kept her eyes glued to the road. She knew that Samuel glanced at her occasionally, but she could care less. A million and one thought were running through Ciara’s head.

It was as though she was going in sane.

Here was another opportunity to find out the truth, and again, it slipped through her fingers just like that, but this time around, Ciara had someone to blame; Samuel Fury, which was why she could not bear to look at him, because she was too pissed off to do so.

If only he had just stuck to the bargain; she tells him why she needs the money and he gives it to her, but no, Samuel Fury, as always, had wanted to control everything and have the final say, and now, she had lost to Linda Luscious. Ciara would think about Linda Luscious’s involvement in all of these, but right now, her anger was steered towards Samuel and the fact that yet again, another opportunity has been lost on her.

    Samuel dragged his feet downstairs at about 9:40pm. It was already dark outside, and he did not know that he had passed out for that long. After walking away from Ciara’s door because he could not stand the sound of her broken cries, Samuel went into the study, a place he would not find himself in on a normal day, and drowned himself in a hard drink. He needed to also feel numb, because the guilt of what he had said was tearing at his conscience, which was a surprise, because the last time Samuel checked, he did not give a damn about Ciara’s feelings.But then again, he had never seen her that hurt and broken, especially now that he had gotten a glimpse of what was happening with her. Ciara’s life was more chaotic than he had thought. At first, he had thought that she was just a girl in prison his mother wanted him to save, but ever since he got her out, Samuel had come to the realization that Ciara’s life was a web of secrets and danger. Samuel continued to take more hard drink, be

    Samuel raced upstairs, refusing to believe Quinton’s words. Suggesting that Ciara was not in the entire building when she only went to her room in less than three minutes is absurb. Samuel heard the footsteps of Quinton as she followed him up the stairs, but he did not even bother to stop and ask her to get back to her duties.Samuel got to Ciara’s room, and the moment he stepped in, he knew that Quinton was right. Not that the room held much adornment, but Samuel just had this eerie feeling. He walked over to the wardrobe and looked, and Ciara’s backpack was gone.Samuel was dumbfounded. He was confused. He was perplexed.Knowing that Quinton followed him upstairs, which Samuel was now grateful for, he turned and truly, Quinton stood by the door, agitated and worried. “When was the last time you saw her?” Samuel asked Quinton. He knew it was a silly question, considering the fact that the same Quinton had mentioned to him a few minutes ago that Ciara hadn’t come down for dinner.“Wh

    “Linda’s house?” Samuel asked Kingston, hoping that he heard wrongly.“Yes, boss,” Kingston answered with confidence.“You mean Colt and Ruby Luscious?” Samuel asked again. He knew he was probably sounding foolish, but he could not believe his ears, so he had to ask multiple times, in different ways to ensure that Kingston knew exactly what he was talking about.What bloody business did Ciara have in the home of Luscious?The last time he had seen Ciara coming out of their home in a terrible state, Linda had stated that Ciara had attempted to steal from them, that Ciara was a common thief, and Samuel had believed completely, so why would Ciara have Kingston drive her all the way there if she truly was a thief.A lot of things were not adding up at all, and they were driving Samuel insane.“What did she go there for?” Samuel asked.“She did not say, boss. She only asked that I drive her there,” Kingston answered.Angrily, Samuel reached forth to Kingston and grabbed him by the neck, cau

    Samuel raced back to the house after he was able to get himself up from the ground with Kingston running behind him like a wild beast. Fortunately for them, they had barely gone far, so the distance back to the house on foot was not a hassle. In the twinkle of an eye, Samuel and Kingston arrived at the house, both breathing and panting heavily.Quinton was in the living room, shaken and sobbing when Samuel entered alone.“What happened?” Samuel asked as he began to dial the doctor’s number. He hadn’t thought of contacting the doctor until he entered the main house.“I went into the room to ensure that the air conditioner was not too much for her like I usually did, and I checked on her, and that was when I realized that she had stopped breathing,” Quinton explained.“Are you sure?” Samuel asked and Quinton nodded.Just then, the doctor picked up.“Mr. Fury, is there a problem? You are calling really late. Is something wrong with Aunt Mary?” he asked over the phone.“Yes…yes, it seems

    Ciara arrived at the Luscious home and parked outside. Then she sat still in the car and waited. What was Ciara waiting for exactly, she could not tell.Her mind went back to the shock on Samuel Fury’s face when she had boycotted him and Kingston, entered his car and driven away. Ciara found herself satisfied with how she had played everything.Maybe if she had been this strategic and bold, she would have been able to figure out a lot of things about herself long before now. Instead, she had relied on fate to bring justice to her.Ciara snorted at the thought of that.Fate had never been kind to her. Fate had never played in her favor. Fate had never showed her exactly what she wanted. All that Ciara had gotten from life had been misfortune, woes, and tragedy, and she was sick of it. Ciara was sick of being treated like trash all the time and have words that broke her spirit thrown at her so casually.If she hadn’t relied on Samuel, she would have gotten to Rudge before Linda and she

    Ciara could not place where exactly she had heard the name Hayes before, but she had an unsettling feeling about it. Even though she struggled to recall where she had heard the name, she knew without a doubt that the name was associated with something terrible.Ciara just couldn’t remember immediately.She was still thinking about it, and the exact words of Linda to this Hayes guy when Linda stepped out of the bathroom, and they met each other, their gaze locked; Ciara, determined and Linda, shocked.But Linda recovered from the shock almost immediately. Ciara did not move an inch.“Ciara?” Linda asked, disbelief in her eyes.“Yes, it is me, Linda,” Ciara said, holding Linda’s gaze. “What are you doing here, you wretch?” Linda recovered from the shock and confusion of seeing Ciara standing in her room so late in the night. “And how did you get in?”“None of these questions are important, Linda. I have questions of my own to ask you, and you have no choice but to answer them,” Ciara s

    Ciara ran like she had never done before, knowing that it was now or never. She could feel and hear the man chasing her.Ciara had caught sight of his face when he wanted to grab her, and oddly, even though it was dark, she knew that the face was familiar, and at the same time, it wasn’t one of the bodyguards in the Luscious home.So who was he?First, it was the mention of a name that brought shivers on Ciara, and now, a dangerously familiar face. As Ciara ran, she continued to ponder on it. She knew now that she was not as skilled at this as she had thought, because if she had been, Linda would not have been able to call someone on her while she stood right in front of her, threatening her. Ciara ran down the stairs, taking them four at a time. She could hardly believe that she possessed such strength and agility despite being pregnant, but Ciara hadn’t been this determined to escape danger like now. As Ciara dashed down the stairs, she heard the man also dash down the stairs. Fort

    Ciara froze when she heard what Quinton told her. The words were as cold as though they were coming from Samuel Fury himself.“He is very upset with you, and I will advise you stay away for now,” Quinton said. She talked in whispers, which made Ciara suspect that she was making the call secretly. Ciara opened her mouth to ask Quinton a question, but the line went dead. Ciara stayed there, parked by the side of the road, confused, alone in the dark, dazed. First of all, she could not get over the shock of Aunt Mary’s death. That was the only person that ever truly loved her and looked out for her after she lost her mother. And now, Aunt Mary had passed on and Ciara did not even get the chance to bid her farewell.Ciara knew that Samuel would be furious with her. He would blame her for his mother’s death. Heck, Ciara felt responsible for her death as well.Ciara wailed loudly, the sound of her bitter cry echoing in the dead of the night.It was all her fault. Samuel Fury had saved her

    It had been hours, and it was getting dark, Samuel was yet to return. Ciara became increasingly worried.She had eaten as many times as she had gotten hungry for, and did everything else, like launder her clothes, and hid in her room while she got it dried, but still, no sign of Samuel. “Where could he be?” Was the question that Ciara asked herself all day.Then she was beginning to regret falling asleep, but she could not have controlled it, even if she wanted to. As the pregnancy progressed, Ciara noticed that she had become easily hungry, tired, and sleepy now, and this really scared her, because it also meant that she might not be able to achieve most of what she wanted to achieve.Ciara was yet to visit the hospital and register for antenatal health care, and that was another problem that plagued her mind.It would be difficult to achieve, especially now that she was hiding out in Samuel’s penthouse, and was being sought by the cops.Ciara’s phone rang, jolting her out of her t

    "That’s a joke, right?” Samuel asked Jess.“You know I only tease on the phone, and not physically,” Jess answered.She was right, and Samuel knew this. He was just overwhelmed by shock to believe what Jess said. Samuel turned and looked at where he parked his car, and everywhere seemed peaceful and clear. Jess’s place was very open, so it would have been easy to spot anything amiss.“You don’t think your trailer would still be right there waiting for you to see him or her, right?” Jess asked, shaking her head when she noticed that Samuel was looking around, searching for his trailer.“Now I know that you are lying, because you can’t even tell if it was a male or female,” Samuel said, wanting to believe his own words so that he would feel relieved.“It is a black Mercedes with tinted glasses,” Jess said, indicating why she couldn’t catch the identity of the person. “And unfortunately, I didn’t get the plate number,” Jess added.“Are you being serious, Jess?” Samuel said, confused and

    Samuel got into his car and zoomed off, headed straight to the penthouse. He knew that Ciara might be worried about where he went, and also, he needed to tell Ciara about the recent development, and they did need to have a long discussion about what to do next. One thing that Samuel was grateful for was keeping his penthouse completely private, and even so, no one would ever be able to get in except he gave them the code.His phone rang, and when he looked at his screen, it was Jess that was calling him.“What have you found?” Samuel said the moment the call connected.“Slow down, mate!” Jess said, laughing. “Days ago, you weren’t so eager, so what changed?” Jess asked lightly.“Not everything is a joke, Jess,” Samuel said. There were a lot of things running through his mind, and the more he had knowledge of what was going on, the faster he could fix everything. “Don’t bite my head off,” Jess warned. “I am not one of your puppets, Fury, and you know I am not afraid of you,” Jess sa

    Samuel arrived at the police station in his own car, following the cops. He was boiling with anger, but his anger was to Colt, and not the cops, because they were simply doing what they were asked to do.“What is the meaning of this?” Samuel asked the moment he got into the office he was invited into before. The head cop signaled to Samuel to sit down, and although Samuel sat, he was still upset. This was the second time in a couple of days that he was being invited to the hospital, and he was no longer finding it a joke.“Mr. Fury, we have a lot against you,” he told Samuel.“How do you mean?” Samuel asked, not bothering to mask his anger. “I was here the last time, and you asked me to go, so what is this about?” Samuel demanded gruffly.“Our interrogation the last time was inconclusive, and we informed you about this, so inviting you back here shouldn’t be strange, or even rile you up,” the head cop said, saying the last words with caution.“You do know who I am, right?” Samuel thr

  • The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury    Be Careful Of Him

    Ciara waited for Samuel to return, but he seemed that was not happening any time soon. She had woken up much later after a disturbing dream, and had found the penthouse very empty. For the first time, Ciara found herself lonely in Samuel’s absence. Maybe it was because of the moment they shared together before she fell asleep, but she could not exactly tell.Then there was the deal with Rudge. Although he was yet to call her back, Ciara still did not want to take chances with him. This was her only opportunity to know about what happened, and contrary to Samuel’s belief, Ciara was certain that he truly had something to tell her. If there was anyone aside from the Luscious family who knew exactly why she went to prison, it would be an employee of theirs, especially the one that worked closely with Linda.All the years living with and knowing Linda Luscious, Ciara knew that she was full of shady and dirty things. There were always skeletons in her cupboard. So now that Rudge had called

    So you two created a gang behind my back,” Samuel questioned Kingston after Quinton had left.He intentionally stayed in the study while Quinton sorted out her things and left. Samuel would not go back on his words; he had already fired her, and that was it. Right now, he was even angry with everyone. So while he was struggling to put things in place and make things work out for him, his own employee had been sabotaging every move by reporting to Ciara. Now he understood why he was always seeing her staring at him weirdly; she had been eavesdropping on him every minute and reporting back to Ciara, which was why she had been able to stay two steps ahead.Now he felt like a horrible fool.“What is it with Ciara that everyone just wants to protect her?” Samuel asked himself in frustration. From his mother to his own employee, who was even trying to recruit his driver into the league. For the life of him, Samuel could not understand the hold that Ciara Summers had on everyone else. His

    Linda had locked herself up in the room ever since the scandal. She could not even bring herself to go anywhere as close as downstairs, because she did not even want to deal with curious stares from the employees. Not only had she been skipping meals, she had also been avoiding her parents, especially her mother, because she could not deal with any firm of judgments right now.In truth, the Luscious mansion had been somewhat gravely quiet ever since. Linda was a nervous wreck as she called Hayes. She had been calling him almost every ten minutes, but she could not bring herself to stop.“Anything else?” Linda asked the moment the call connected.“No, Linda. He has been in the main house for hours now. Maybe he has called it a day, and I think I should too,” Hayes said, sounding tired.“Don’t you dare move from there!” Linda barked. They had missed Samuel for days, unable to trail him, because he had gone to hide somewhere unknown, and Linda had quickly told Hayes where to find Samu

    Samuel got into the main house and flopped on the couch, extremely tired. From what he could see outside, all his domestic staff were in good shape and doing their jobs well, so Samuel closed his eyes and tried to take in as much rest as possible. He did not want to think much about anything for now; he just wanted to rest. If he could stay here for a couple of hours, and even take a nap in the process, he would be relieved, but shutting his brain off completely was not something he could do, considering all that was going on at the moment. He would need to take extra caution dealing with Colt henceforth, but Samuel could not tell if Kingston was now strong enough to get back to work. He knew he should have called Doctor Pedro to ask about Kingston’s improvement, but he had been swamped with things. Anyway, now that he was here, he would ask him personally. Samuel opened his eyes and looked around, and everywhere seemed quiet. Samuel was now used to catching Quinton standing by the

    Samuel drove home, his mind muddled up in thoughts. It was a card he played on Colt, and like a mirror, he saw right through Colt.More than ever before, and for the very first time, Samuel was certain that there was something amiss. Colt could not even answer the last question he asked him. Samuel thought of going to the penthouse, but he changed his mind last minute. He hadn’t been to the main house in days now, and since he was still in charge of the Fury house and wealth, he needed to go there and ensure that everything was okay.Changing directions now, his mind went back to Colt Luscious. Samuel knew what he hadn’t known for years now; he was also a victim of Colt and Ruby’s games, but he could not exactly put the points together. All along, he had been worrying so much about understanding what was going on in Ciara’s life and trying to piece together bits and pieces of the things he knew, and he had no idea that he might also need to piece them together. Now, Samuel was begin
