Ciara took some seconds to wipe her red puffy eyes and gather herself. She had spent the entire ride remembering what she should have kept buried deep inside, but how could she? Ciara had known then that something was off, but now, she knew without a doubt that Ruby Luscious definitely had something to with her mother’s condition and all that Ciara had been through ever since, but unless she was able to come out with proof, she could not say a word about it otherwise it would be termed false accusation.

But how would she ever be able to when forces just seemed to be blocking her every move?

Samuel tapped at the car window where Ciara sat impatiently. From the tinted glass, she could see that he was very upset and impatient.

What did Samuel mean by crying would not save her? Did he have intentions of dumping her at the station and leaving? He already thought she was guilty of an affair with Johnway and then his murder. He hadn’t interrupted Ciara’s cry all through the ride back to the

    Ciara was stunned and confused beyond words. She did not understand what was going on.“Where are you taking me?” She asked Samuel but instead of responding to her, Samuel kept his face straight and hard. As she looked at him, she saw features of an angry man who was forced to do what he did.The only problem is that Ciara has no idea of the situation of things.She needed some sort of explanation. Ciara strongly believes that she deserves some form of explanations instead of just dragging her out of the station; which she was grateful for, because now Ciara was certain that she would not be sleeping in jail. At least not now.“What did you discuss in there with them?” Ciara was dying to know. It was good enough that she had been taken out of there, and it was something that she would not take for granted, but being given the silent treatment with a stoic expression just wasn’t making her feel at ease.“Kingston,” Samuel called gruffly.“Yes, sir,” Kingston answered from his driving p

  • The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury    Still a Prisoner

    Ciara had never felt so insulted in her life. This would be like the first time someone would talk about her appearance indirectly in such a manner. Actually, this was the first time she would be in a fancy restaurant such as this one. And Ciara felt something else as well; jealousy.She struggled to push aside the feeling, and when it persisted, she denied it vehemently in her heart. It could not be. Why would she be jealous that Samuel brought another woman out, or has been bringing a more fashionable, or even more beautiful woman to this restaurant. Ciara felt somewhat saddened by the fact that if her stomach hadn’t rumbled so loudly, Samuel would never have thought to bring her here. Ciara shrugged off the feeling.The least thing she needed now was feeling the way she was feeling when she had a truckload of other important things to worry about. Also, regardless of whether she had been insulted or not, she would not dwell on that. Instead, she would eat to make her baby happy a

    After Samuel said those words to Ciara, he got out of the car.“Come along,” he said to Ciara without turning to even check if Ciara followed him or not. Ciara got out of the car feeling beaten and devastated. A few minutes ago, she had been happy and joyous, because not only that her stomach was full, she had thought that Samuel had freed her from the accusations, but now, she had only realized that she was still a prisoner which means after she did whatever Samuel brought her into the house to do, he would take her back and hand her over to the cops. And that would be the end of Ciara.As they entered the living room, Quinton stood there smiling at Ciara. Ever since the incident, she had not set her eyes on Quinton, and Ciara hadn’t even spared the woman any thoughts, because she had been overwhelmed by everything going on in her life. “Good day, Mrs. Fury, it is good to have you back,” Quinton greeted Ciara warmly.From the corner of her eyes, Ciara caught Samuel wincing at being

    Samuel entered his penthouse tired as hell. He flopped on his couch and released a breath he did not know he had been holding. The last couple of hours had been strenuous for him, and he hated that Ciara had to make him go through such hassle. If Samuel could hate the Summers girl any deeper, he would. For a while now, Samuel had rested a little from everything that required him to stress himself. The last time Samuel had gone through this kind of stress had been when he was fighting to get his legacy back from the Fury’s. Lately, he had been worrying about his mother’s health, and that had been enough stress for him, because it drained him physically, emotionally, and mentally. But to go through this stress for someone he did not like with such a bad record did not sit well with him at all. If not for his vow he made to his mother and what the doctor had prescribed, he would have gladly allowed her rot in jail. People like Ciara Summers deserved to be punished for their crimes, bec

    Samuel stood there, unable to move his legs. Usually, he would be turned on by seeing a woman naked in the shower…in his own bathroom, but this was something entirely different.This was a different scenario.Samuel had never seen anything so scary in his life. He had also been through a lot of hurdles growing up, but there was nothing like these scars on him. How in heaven’s name did Ciara acquire such cruel scars? They spoke of nothing but cruelty and misery; something like what Samuel had only seen during art exhibitions, and even at that, he had often thought that the artists who put up such things are either sadists or they were missing something in life.And here he was, staring at them in real life.The gruesome marks cut across Ciara’s back like welts. Samuel remembered seeing some of them on her neck the other day at his penthouse, but they had been in a flash, and he had not thought much about it after that, although he had hoped to confront Ciara about them later, but other

    Ciara grabbed a chair and sat close to Aunt Mary’s bed. She had dried herself and even applied some strawberry flavored hair shampoo and oil to add to her sweet scented perfume. Samuel had told her, not that he explained explicitly, that Aunt Mary needed everything good and nice to feel better, and so Ciara had put up her best.She hadn’t used those lovely scented things for weeks now. In fact, she had almost forgotten that she had them, but thankfully, she could still use them; anything to make Aunt Mary feel better.“Hi, Aunt Mary, I am here,” Ciara started with a shaky voice. She had never done this before, and being used in such a way was new to her. She did not know exactly what to do or say, but since her presence might make Aunt Mary feel better, Ciara was willing to try, although she hoped that Aunt Mary would not sense her uneasiness.Tears welled up in Ciara’s eyes as she watched Aunt Mary lying almost lifeless on the bed. It must really suck to just watch your life ticking

    Ciara and Samuel stared at each other, their breath mingling with each other’s. Ciara’s heart beat heavily. Of all the things Samuel could ask, she had not expected this particular question, because she had done a fair job at hiding them.“What…what are you talking about?” Ciara chose to feign ignorance, and it seemed to infuriate Samuel even more.“Don’t play dumb with me, Ciara Summers. I am sick and tired of your little lies and dirty manipulative games,” Samuel breathed out. They were so close to each other that they could literally see themselves through each other’s eyes. “Pretending or lying would be pointless, so the earlier you start talking, the better for the both of us. Tell me all about your scars, because I know they exist already.”Know? Know? Know! Ciara’s mind picked up the situation at hand as fast as possible. She had been in a lot of tricky situations to know that Samuel Fury was not speaking out of ignorance or mere speculations, and the fact that he said he knew

    “We have a bigger problem on our hands now,” Ruby admitted finally as they all sat in their living room and deliberated on the information they had gotten from the local hotel receptionist, Lottie.Linda became agitated at the sound of her mother’s voice. Ruby’s confidence and ability to handle every kind of situation always boost her confidence in such a way that no one knew. So hearing her speak that way meant that they were actually in a deep shit.“We cannot let this happen, mum,” Linda said. She willed her voice not to come off as shaky and scared, but she could barely handle that.Ruby turned and looked at Linda when she sensed the fear and agitation in her voice. “Uh, sweetie, come here,” Ruby said tenderly.For a moment, Linda was surprised. She grew up to take Ruby as her mother, respecting and looking up to her, as well as doing her bidding and trying her best to fill her shoes, but one thing Linda had lacked from Ruby was emotional understanding and support.

    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?
