Ciara stayed aloof in a corner in the cell, not bothering anyone. She knew how the inmates could be, so she tried as much as possible to avoid their troubles, but one thing with being there is that you do not need to avoid their troubles before they find yours.

Two inmates walked menacingly over to Ciara.

They were both burly like men and it was very obvious that they were bullies. Ciara remembers them from the last time she was in here, but for the life of her, she could not tell what their names were anymore. Actually, when she left prison, she did a mental wiping off of the inmates, because she desperately wanted to be away from that life.

“Ciara Summers,” one of them mocked.

Ciara looked down at her hands and feet in her curled up position, and she realized that they were shaking. Ciara was scared out of her mind already, and even if it was just one of them, she still would not have been able to face them.

“You will look up when we call you,” the other one grabbed Ciara by her hai

    Linda arrived at the Fury’s mansion fully dressed with high heels, makeup and an expensive outfit. She ensured that she dressed her best, because she believed that the old lady would be impressed by Linda’s fashion sense and class. Linda knew and understood the minds of wealthy people and how they worked, and she knew that this would be one of the easiest ways to get through to her.Linda wasn’t a fan of the older people. In fact, they made her skin crawl, but she would do anything to win Samuel’s mother’s heart, because once the woman is able to declare her love and acceptance for Linda, Samuel would have no choice than to marry her finally, because somewhere inside Linda’s heart, she just had the feeling that something could happen that would make Samuel not marry her eventually. Granted, they did have a hold on him, but even that is not a strong hold, because everything might go wrong, and Linda could not afford it to.Linda was let into the mansion after she told their security th

    Samuel could not move any faster, and as soon as they stepped into the hospital, he took hold of Ciara’s hands. According to Mary, they must always appear married and in love. Newly wedded couple must not be perceived otherwise.“Welcome, Mr. Samuel,” the nurse said, but Samuel was hardly listening to her.“How is my mother?” Samuel asked as he barged into Mary’s room. She laid there almost lifeless, the beeping sounds of the machines placed on her filling the room. Samuel halted, his resolve breaking. Ciara also stood beside him as they stared at Mary together. She seemed dead already, and Ciara could feel the fear in Samuel. She had never seen him like that, and he seemed like a man too cruel and ruthless to have such compassion and affection.Samuel looked at his mother and his heart pounded heavily. He felt like his heart was about to drop to his stomach, and even though he already been told that she had just a month to live, he could not harbor the thought of losing her, especia

    “What baby were you talking about in your sleep?” Samuel demanded.Ciara did not see that coming. She hadn’t even thought that she had said anything when she was battling with the bad dream. It had felt so real and true that it scared the life out of her, and for the fact that Samuel did not ask her any questions after he woke her up made her believe that she had dreamt silently. Now she understood why he had been giving her some weird and suspicious looks since then.“Answer me!” Samuel tried not to scream. They were still in Aunt Mary’s ward, and he wouldn’t want to wake her up. Samuel moved closer to her in a menacing manner again, making Ciara shiver a little. She was still trying to get a hold of herself, as everything that is happening seems to be happening really fast and she was yet to get a grip of herself. “You like to evade questions, don’t you?” Samuel said gruffly. He was really getting pissed off, and Ciara doubted that he would be able to hold it in any longer than nec

    Ruby and Linda both stood in their living room, unable to sit down with ease. Everything seems to be escalating beyond their control.“I was just a step away from entering her ward when the doctor announced the arrival of Samuel and that wretch,” Linda sulked. The whole scene kept playing in her head, making her angrier. “I hated the fact that she had to be referred to as Samuel’s wife, and not me.”“You have to be patient, Linda.” Ruby tried to calm Linda down even though, last thing she was experiencing herself was calmness.“But what are we to do? All our plans seem to be falling in our faces,” Linda whined.She wasn’t lying, and Ruby agreed with her. “Ciara seems to be getting away with everything, and we cannot let that happen,” she said and turned to Linda. “Are you sure none of them saw you?” She asked.“I made sure of that. You ought to trust me on things like these by now,” Linda said. She did not like that her skills of maneuvering her way through situations are being questi

  • The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury    A Familiar Face

    On the ride back to the luxury apartment, the car was eerily quiet. Samuel said nothing to Ciara, and neither did Ciara, and in order to distract herself from feeling uncomfortable, especially with Samuel’s stone-cold face, she decided to look outside the window instead.It was safer to look through the walls of Mexico City and its people walking about freely and going about what they wanted to do, which was contrary to the life that Ciara was trapped in than to continue to see Samuel’s face and live in the fear that he might reach out and strangle her any moment. Ciara was grateful that after Samuel’s conversation with Aunt Mary, he had not bothered to confront her like he would usually do. Ciara had been skeptical about returning to the ward after what she had heard, so she had feigned having a light headache, which had prompted Aunt Mary to urge Samuel to take Ciara home.Ciara had hoped that Samuel would let her drive back to the apartment alone, since she was practically staying

    “What agency did you say sent Joel?” Ciara asked Aunt Quinton later after Samuel had left. Luckily for her, he did not stay for as long as five minutes after he was introduced to the new gardener and Ciara got to understand that he followed her to the luxury apartment just so that he could see the new employee. Ciara was very relieved, because Samuel did not stick around to try to force an explanation out of her. Ciara had genuinely hope that she would take a long nap in the soft bed, but something about the young man just kept gnawing at her gut, and she found herself restive and unsafe.The moment she set eyes on him, she had that shivering feeling that she had when she visited Samuel at his penthouse and someone followed her. “Maux Cleaning Services,” Aunt Quinton responded. “They are the best cleaning service in Mexico City,” she further stressed, but still Ciara was not bought.“When did you request for a gardener?” Ciara questioned.“Master Samuel actually did, not me,” she re

    Ciara knew immediately that she needed to do something.“We have an impostor in the house,” Aunt Quinton said with so much fear and trepidation that she almost passed it on to Ciara. Ciara knew there was something off about the man, but she had hoped that somehow someway, her intuitions would be wrong. Now, she would not even be able to get that so much desired nap until she is able to solve the problem at hand.“Where is he now?” Ciara asked. Just then, they heard the sound of the mowing machine.Ciara and Aunt Quinton hurried to the window and there he was, mowing the lawn. Aunt Quinton gasped in shock. Accepting the situation for what it was seemed really difficult for her. “So where is the real Joel?” she asked.“I have no idea, Aunt Quinton, but we have a huge problem in our hands, and we need to sort it out before it blows out of proportion,” Ciara said.Even though she said “we”, she was actually referring to herself. Now that she knew that the man they have mowing their lawn

    Ciara was grateful that instead of screaming, Aunt Quinton had been sensible enough to cover her mouth with her hands.Ciara was scared to her bones, especially now that the man was no longer mowing the lawn. She has no idea if he even heard what they have been saying, because Ciara’s window had been open while they watched him and even talked. Even though they were upstairs and he was on the ground floor, Ciara could not be certain. There was no way to be sure, because looking at the lawn now, Ciara realized that he wasn’t even done mowing it.Whether they liked it or not, they were in grave danger.“Hello? Mrs. Fury, are you there?” The representative asked.Ciara had been rendered speechless when the representative broke the news and at the same time, her mind had been running around in thoughts.“Oh yes, I am here, and I heard you,” Ciara answered. She was honestly trying really hard, but panic and exhaustion were becoming evident even in her words.“We deeply apologize for this.

    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

    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

    Samuel and Colt stared at each other for the longest time, each refusing to break the ice, and equally refusing to be less deadly in their stares.“You are ungrateful,” Colt said angrily.“How so?” Samuel asked, refusing to back down.If it was before, he would allow Colt Luscious to guilt-trip him into feeling like he needed to set things right.“I did everything for you, Samuel Fury. I showed up for you when no one else would. I became your benefactor when there was no one to even help you. I aided you to get back the Fury name and wealth, and what did I get in return?” Colt said, his eyes spitting fire.“Say how I fucking betrayed you, Colt, and stop beating around the bush,” Samuel stated bluntly, almost cutting Colt off. Colt ground his teeth in annoyance, and was also surprised at Samuel’s disrespectful tone.“You got my daughter pregnant!” Colt barked.“Did I?” Samuel asked, looking at Colt square in the eyes challengingly. “How am I certain that your daughter was the one I ha

    Samuel had been in many uncomfortable situations, ones that required deep and intense emotions, but he had never seen anything like this, and deep down, he knew that there was still more that Ciara was yet to tell him.As he stood above Ciara and watched her, her words just kept floating through his mind. And to think he had actually believed Linda when she said that Ciara had come into their home to steal. Now, things were beginning to click together, piece by piece. How on earth did someone go through all that? A woman for that matter? “Thank goodness I did not end up marrying Linda,” Samuel said quietly. When he had arrived at the venue and had walked up to the altar, and had looked at Linda in that dress, he had just known that he could not go through with the wedding. Even if it was some sort of an arrangement, and nothing based on love, he just couldn’t. Even though he had wanted to marry Linda to get to know what was really going on, he just couldn’t, and now, he was grateful

    There was a deafening silence after Ciara said Linda Luscious.Samuel felt as though he was hearing differently. Yes, he knew that he suspected something was off, but he had no idea, and now, he was even more confused.“Linda Luscious?” Samuel asked, wanting to be certain he was hearing rightly.“You asked who Rudge was referring to when he said ‘she’, right?” Ciara asked.Now, they were both seated on Ciara’s bed, quietly. It was the first time they would be having a conversation in this manner. All the times they had a conversation, they had always been talking in high tones, and throwing unpleasant words to each other.“Was she the same person the previous time when Rudge had contacted you and struck a deal? Samuel asked calmly. He could not even bring himself to shout. In fact, he was even struggling to ask questions that were not silly, because while they talked and he listened to Ciara, he was still trying to clear out his confusion.“Yes,” Ciara answered soberly.“How on earth d
