“Why would he do this to me?” Ciara grumbled in disappointment and frustration. “I knew I shouldn’t have trusted him!” Ciara chided herself. “Once an enemy, always an enemy.”

Ciara hit her hand to her head in frustration. She had made such a foolish move, and now she was paying dearly for it. Who the heck turns around and trusts the same person who has been antagonizing her all this time? Only a fool would.

“And I have been nothing but a fool!” Ciara told herself.

She should have known that Samuel had something up his sleeves when he agreed to her deal without hesitation. The Samuel that Ciara knew would disagree vehemently, or argue about it at most, not just agreeing as though she was promising a little child candy in exchange for something meaningless or useless.

“How did I not see this? How did I fall for it?” Ciara questioned herself.

But then again, she was desperate to get out of the woods, so even if anyone had put the signs boldly in front of her, Ciara doubted that she would

    Linda was disappointed and soaked in shame. Samuel had brought her back home even though she tried to hold him back.“What is so important that it cannot wait?” Samuel had asked her.He sounded irritated and annoyed to see her, and more, he had looked like he was rushing off somewhere. So Linda had slipped into the living room, because it seemed that Samuel would not let her into the living room with the way stood solidly in front of her. Usually, he would have stepped aside to usher her in, but as usual, Linda was determined to push her way through, regardless of the fact that she wasn’t even entirely comfortable around Samuel Fury.Linda had heard Samuel groan loudly after she stylishly entered the living room, and she grinned inwardly.“Linda, I already accepted your date. Weekend is not here, and we spoke just yesterday, so why are you here?” Samuel had asked her without even bothering to hide his anger and hostility.“Where are you going at this time of the night?” Linda had ask

    “Samuel,” Ciara called out breathlessly.They both stared at each other, almost standing closely; Ciara in the dark and Samuel in the light. They were like two worlds colliding together, unsuited, but definitely drawn together by forces they had no control over.Ciara was shocked, relieved, anxious, and all the emotions in between, and so was Samuel feeling. For an instant, they both just stared at each other.“You came,” Ciara said, her voice low, and it had something to do with how she felt staring at Samuel Fury whom she hadn’t seen in such a long time. It felt as though they were apart from each other for years, and not just a couple of days, or maybe weeks.Ciara had completely concluded that Samuel was not going to show up, because not only was he delaying, he was also not taking his calls. If Samuel had wasted any more time, he would have missed her, because she had just been about to walk away to find safety. Somehow, Samuel’s presence wiped off all doubts and thoughts that h

    Kingston waited for Quinton in the pantry. They already planned to meet there and talk. Up until now, he still hadn’t heard Quinton’s reason for snitching on their boss for Ciara.And Kingston was just a step away from reporting to Samuel.He could not even begin to imagine what Samuel would do to Quinton if he found out that she had been the mole all this time, and the real reason why catching Ciara was a difficult task for them.He was still feeling some pains, although the drugs were doing a great job, but he would never tell Samuel about it. In fact, Kingston was worried as to why Samuel was yet to take him back on his duties.“Finally!” Kingston exclaimed in relief when Quinton eventually came into the pantry. “What took you so long?” Kingston asked. He was already beginning to get impatient.“I am just five minutes late, Kingston. What is with the rush since you got back from the hospital?” Quinton queried. “Mr. Samuel could come in at any moment, and I don’t want him to ever c

    “I have a feeling that he is cheating on me,” Linda said to her parents.“How are you so sure, dear?” Colt asked. “While I was there, someone kept calling him and he refused to pick up. I know it was a woman. I am sure of it,” Linda insisted, breathing heavily.“Linda, Samuel Fury is a man of many hidden things. He was probably dealing with something that you shouldn’t even be aware of,” Colt tried to explain.“But a woman knows these things,” Linda sulked.“Ugh,” Colt rubbed his temple in exasperation. He just wanted this whole thing to be over, and get all that they could get from Samuel Fury.“Colt, if Linda thinks Samuel is cheating, then he is,” Ruby said to Samuel, making Linda happy and relieved to be supported. Then she turned to Linda and said, “But that should be the least of your concerns. We know what we are gunning for in this union, and fidelity is not a part of it. What we need is for you to get married to Samuel, and get us all the money needed,” she said to Linda.L

    It took every ounce of courage and discipline to break away from the kiss, both panting and breathing heavily.“It kicked!” Ciara blurred out excitedly without thinking.It was not until she had already said that she realized the implication of what she had said. Her hands flew to her mouth in shock, but the damage had already been done.“What kicked?” Samuel asked, looking at Ciara suspiciously. Of course he knew what she was talking about; so indeed, she was truly pregnant? Samuel’s fingers tightened in a fist; he was angry. He was angry at Ciara all over again for lying to him, or his mother; especially his mother, and living right under his protection with another man’s child growing inside of her. Then he was angry with himself for forgetting all the many reasons he was mad at Ciara and needing to take vengeance, and kissing her right after. He really shouldn’t have done that, and now, he felt extremely stupid.Ciara cleared her throat, and Samuel knew that she was probably rac

    "We have more pressing issues at hand, and all you want to do is stay here and kiss me?” Ciara asked Samuel Fury, shocked.Deep down, Ciara wanted to be kissed badly by Samuel, but it would be foolish of her to crave such a thing considering what was at stake.“Ciara, I want us to establish some things here,” Samuel said harshly. “Those kisses meant nothing, first of all,” Samuel added.Ciara blinked, deeply hurt by Samuel’s words. She had fallen for his kisses, reacting without hesitation, and if it did not mean a thing to Samuel, then it means that he must think her a fool, and a starved woman for falling for his antics.“You are not even that desirable,” Samuel continued talking, tearing Ciara’s heart apart with every word that came out of his mouth. “Stop,” Ciara said quietly, and she meant it. She could literally feel her heart ripping apart, and she could not believe that a while ago, she was melting under his kiss.But Samuel did not stop. “I just want you to know that the inf

    Linda woke up feeling blank. Just as she got up from the bed, Ruby entered her room with a bright smile.“You are up,” Ruby said as she walked towards the bed.“Yes, I am, mum,” Linda answered happily.“Today is a great day, isn’t it?” Ruby asked.“Of course it is,” Linda seconded.“Now, I want you to get freshen up, wear something nice as usual, and come downstairs for breakfast. In about an hour, the event planner for your big wedding would be here, and we would spend the entire day preparing for your big day,” Ruby carefully listed out the schedule for the day, so that Linda would follow through.“The whole day?” Linda asked, slightly surprised by it. She did not really want to spend an entire day planning a wedding such as this one to begin with, but she wouldn’t dare say or even express how she truly felt. If only they would just skip the awful wedding part and just go right to being married to Samuel Fury; it would help her keep track of what her mission was. “Yes, darling,” R

    The baby kicking woke Ciara up.She could not believe that she had a peaceful night despite everything that had transpired. She could not believe that she had held a gun at Samuel and threatened him.She could not also forget the horror and disbelief in Samuel’s face.“Jeez, you must be mighty hungry to be kicking like that,” Ciara spoke to her baby, touching and looking at her stomach. She hadn’t spoken to her child in a really long time, especially during the period when she could not feel it in her.Ciara could feel her bulging stomach. It was as round as a ball. She hadn’t even paid attention to her growing stomach either, and now that she could see it and feel it, it was as though it just got there this morning.But Ciara’s joy that the baby was still alive knew no bounds.“Well, let us go and get you something to eat, then we can spend a few moments talking to each other and bonding again,” Ciara said as she got out of bed.She stretched and turned.

    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?
