Linda paced about impatiently and furiously. He was taking too long to get back to her. He was taking too long to show up, and Linda was almost bursting with anticipation.The sound of Linda’ heels clicked on the marble floor, and if it was possible for them to bore holes with the way she was pacing back and forth, the entire room would be perforated by now. She drummed her long manicured nails together, waiting.This bastard had better had a good explanation for this delay, Linda said to herself. He was the best at what he does, so why on earth was she so worked up. Linda’s phone beeped. She rushed over to it, thinking that it was either him or Samuel, and frankly, right now, she would not mind either of those. It has been difficult getting through to Samuel for hours now, and after their last argument, he had completely stopped taking her calls.She needed to do something. Even if someone was to win her over anything, especially a man, it should not be Ciara Summers. She would rathe
Ciara walked beside Samuel as they followed their tour guide to their hotel. It was a luxurious hotel, one that spoke of wealth and class, and Ciara could not be more awed, but in as much as she wanted to take in the beauty of the place, she could not shake off the fact that she left an unfinished business back home.“Happy honeymooning,” the young lady grinned at Ciara and Samuel as she led them to their hotel room. “You could not have picked a better place,” she added cheerily.Neither Ciara nor Samuel responded to her.When they got to their room, she handed their door card to them, congratulated them once again and left them to go into their room. Samuel placed the card on the door and it buzzed open. The moment they stepped in, Ciara’s breath was caught in her throat by the sight that greeted her. It was not the magnificence of the room that took her breath away, it was the decoration on the spacious king-sized bed. On it were rose petals shaped in the form of love while scented
“Do you think she will concede?” Colt asked Ruby.“Oh, she has to. She does not have a choice,” Ruby stated confidently. It was a good thing they already have something they are holding against Ciara, so whatever the case may be, she will have no choice but to agree to our terms.”“What if she finds out?” Colt asked and Ruby sent him an annoyed look.“We are doing everything possible to make sure Ciara is ruined, please, take your negativity elsewhere. Who is going to tell her?” Ruby is very pissed now.Colt decided it was time to be quiet. Linda came in sulking and looking forlorn. “What is it, dear?” Ruby asked her.Linda plops on the couch. “What if Samuel eventually ends up with that wretch?” “It is not going to happen, because we are never going to allow it. Until we see her utterly ruined, there is no giving up,” Ruby said confidently. It is her confidence that is always boosting Linda. Linda has been worried sick ever since Hayes failed in his task. She never wanted Ciara to
Ciara threw everything she had eaten in a vomit into the toilet. She groaned and moaned as she threw up, wishing that she would stop throwing up. Ciara knew that she was reacting this way because of the baby. After a few seconds, she came out of the bathroom.“You have ruined lunch for me,” Samuel Fury said coldly the moment Ciara stepped into the hotel room. They have practically been living like enemies since they arrived; barely talking to each other, and only coming close to each other to take a video call from Mary. Samuel looks irritated and disgusted.Ciara did not mean to ruin lunch for anyone, but as their food was served and she took a few spoons, she did not even know when her stomach turned and she threw up, right on the same table that they were having lunch. She had to scurry into the bathroom and empty her stomach after that.“It is certainly going to be the last time you and I are ever eating on a table until this sham of a marriage is over,” Samuel declared.Unknown t
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
