Samuel looked at Linda, shocked. How in the world did she know that he would be at the hospital at that time?

“How did you know I was here?” Samuel had to ask her. He remembered specifically telling Quinton not to tell anyone about it, but even so, Quinton had never met Linda, and he also left strict instructions to his guards not to let anyone at all into the building without his permission. Samuel was pretty sure that Linda did not go to the house, so how the heck did she know?

“Does it matter?” Linda Luscious asked. She walked closer to Samuel and tried to touch him.

But Samuel held her hand even before they could reach his body.

“Yes, it does. What are you doing here?” Samuel insisted as he returned Linda’s hands back to where they belonged; by her side.

“Okay, fine,” Linda sulked, “I came by for my antenatal check up, and I saw you rush into the hospital with the paramedics, so I decided to come and lend my support,” she lied.

Okay, that explains it, Samuel thought to himself;

    Ruby and Colt waited for Linda to return with a positive result.“You were given a simple task, yet failed woefully at it!” Ruby barked at Hayes who stood by the corner of the living room.“I tried my best, but he was also greatly skilled,” Hayes responded.Both Colt and Ruby sent Hayes a disappointing look. He was beginning to act and sound like a broken record to them.“Aren’t you supposed to be the best at what you do?” Colt charged at Hayes.“I am certain he wouldn’t make it,” Hayes changed the tone of his voice, trying to sound sure and certain.“Well, I highly doubt that. You said it yourself that you trailed him all the way to the main house, and saw him stagger into the residence. You also said a few minutes later, he was rushed off in an ambulance to the hospital. Now tell me, if he survived your attack at the parking lot in the club, why would he die when he had already reached a place of safety, huh?” Ruby fired at Hayes. “You were supposed to kill him, Hayes!

  • The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury    Two Results

    Samuel stayed at the hospital, restless, as he waited for Doctor Pedro to give him the two reports he was desperate to get; Kingston’s state of health and Linda’s pregnancy result.Doctor Pedro had really done him a whole world of good, and he had ensured that Linda would not know that such a test was conducted on her. Doctor Pedro walked up to Samuel a few minutes later. “Samuel,” he called gently.Samuel stood up. He was tired and tense, as he hadn’t slept a wink all through the night, even up until now, but his determination and resilience kept him energized.“Kingston is awake now,” the doctor told him. Samuel sighed in relief, grateful that all had gone well. “Were there any severe damages done to him?” Samuel asked with concern.“His shoulder joint was badly injured by the bullet, and as a result, he would need ample time to recover, but as for his leg, he should get back on his feet a week or two,” the doctor explained.Samuel rubbed his rough face with his palm and exhaled.

    “How is that possible?” Samuel asked Doctor Pedro.“This is confusing as well,” Doctor Pedro said, staring at the result in his hands.Samuel snatched the result and stared at it too, confusion marking his features. “Are you certain?” Samuel asked even though the result was glaring at him.“I double-checked it,” Doctor Pedro said with certainty.“When was the last time we took the last pregnancy test?” Samuel asked just to be sure that his mind wasn’t playing tricks on him. “More than three weeks ago,” Doctor Pedro answered.“I don’t understand, Doctor. How is it possible for a woman’s pregnancy result to come out positive twice, and at different intervals,” Samuel asked.There was confusion in the air. Something felt off.“Something is wrong. One of the results is wrong,” Doctor Pedro said. “That is the only explanation for this mix up,” he added.“Then which of them is wrong?” Samuel asked, exasperated. He was beginning to have a headache as a result of the test. If it had come ou

    “How do you mean by your nurse?” Samuel Fury asked. “I thought you vowed to me that you took the tests yourself,” Samuel confronted Doctor Pedro. The doctor was not making sense to Samuel.“I conducted the test myself, but before the test came out, I had an emergency, and I let her continue with it and deliver the result to you and Linda’s family,” Doctor Pedro said.“Are you…what are you saying?” Samuel asked him.“There is something amiss about the results, and from what I am seeing, the last result was the wrong one, because I personally saw this one through till the end,” Doctor Pedro said.“So that means Linda hasn’t been pregnant all this time until now?” Samuel asked, finally connecting the dots.“No, it hasn’t, and I am really shocked at this, because I don’t know why she would alter the test result,” Doctor Pedro was confused.“So Linda Luscious hasn’t been pregnant all this while? Does this mean that she wasn’t the one that night? Have my instincts been right all along? Is t

    Linda had been resting since she got back from the hospital. She felt weird and strange, and even her parents confirmed it, but she could not read the meaning of the shocked look on their faces.Then she had slept for long hours, and rested after she woke up, which was strange, because that was so unlike Linda.Her phone rang, disrupting her rest. Linda knew that it could not be any good. For years now, Linda had not received any call that was pleasant to the ears. It had always been from one thing to another, even though she had managed to wiggle her way out of all of them every single time.The nurse from Samuel’s hospital was calling.“What could she want?” Linda grumbled.She had wrapped up every single business she had with the girl; it was just a one-time thing anyway, so why was she calling Linda now? The last thing that Linda wanted to deal with was a blackmailing person, because Linda could not see another reason why she could be calling her weeks after the successful deal th

    Ciara was awakened by the ringing of her phone. She had plugged it to the car to boost up the battery, and she did not even know that the phone had come up on its own.Ciara grabbed the phone sleepily to check who was calling, and the moment she saw that it was Samuel Fury, she jerked awake, all forms of drowsiness disappearing from her eyes.“Why is he calling me?” Ciara asked herself as she watched the phone ring. Ciara cleaned her eyes severally with her palm just to be sure her eyes were not playing mighty tricks on her. Then she looked around her; she was still parked in the woods where she had parked before dozing off.Ciara was still wondering why he was calling her when the call ended and went straight to voice note. She played the voice note, but Samuel did not say a word. Ciara remembered that she was on a call with Quinton who had been about to tell her about Samuel’s findings on her when her phone went off. So immediately the call went off, Ciara quickly dialed Quinton’s

    “Come home?” Ciara repeated.Samuel gritted his teeth in annoyance. His heart was still broken from Ciara’s remark about his mother, but his annoyance was having to play nice and cool just to trap Ciara into coming out of her hiding.“Yes, come home,” Samuel said. He knew Ciara was not a fool, at least, she had proven that to him now. Then it dawned on Samuel; how did Ciara know that his mother was dead?Ciara had been out on her running escapade to the Luscious residence when his mother died, so how did she know? Samuel was too hurt, angered and heartbroken to even realize that Ciara’s statement meant that she was well aware that his mother was dead.Oddly enough, he had thought to use his mother to lure her back, but now, it was obvious that that was a dead end. Samuel was even grateful that he did not even begin by mentioning it, because he would have come off as a fool to Ciara.“Why would you want me to come home?” He heard Ciara ask.Samuel was disgusted at Ciara’s temerity.

    Samuel waited for Quinton to finish up what she claimed to be doing in the kitchen so that she could answer to his call.Meanwhile, Samuel called Doctor Pedro on the phone, and he picked up almost immediately.“Less busy?” Samuel asked as soon as the call connected. He was surprised that on a normal random day, Doctor Pedro was picking his call on the first ring.“No, but I am your doctor, and you might need my help urgently,” Doctor Pedro said, reminding Samuel that Doctor Pedro was on his personal payroll just so that he could be at his beck and call. “I have to attend to a patient in less than fifteen minutes, so you might have to be quick with this call,” Doctor Pedro added.“Of course, I don’t intend to keep you anyway,” Samuel said.“Have you been taking your medications and resting as I instructed?” Doctor Pedro asked.“Absolutely,” Samuel lied. The medications would make him drowsy and lazy, and those were the last things Samuel needed to be feeling at a time like this. “But t

    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?
