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

    Seeing Linda seated majestically at the dining table made Quinton almost fumble and trip. The moment she saw Linda, she recognized her instantly, and from the look and expression on Linda’s face as well, she also recognized Quinton.And in all, Samuel noticed what was going on between his housekeeper and Linda; why wouldn’t he? Samuel was more sensitive than ever before, because it was only that way that he could know what was going on.Samuel looked at Quinton. He was displeased, but then again, his curiosity was piqued. “Quinton, what is it? Do you know my guest?” Samuel asked, because the last time he checked, Linda had never stepped foot in the main house.“Er…” Quinton opened her mouth to speak truthfully, but Linda was also smart enough to know that Quinton would not lie to her boss.And if Quinton told Samuel the truth, she would have to answer questions from Samuel, and it would definitely not end well, so Linda interrupted immediately by clearing her throat.“Um, please, I wo

    “Excuse you?” Samuel Fury asked the cop.“You are to come with us for questioning right away,” he said and brought out a warrant. “This is from the state head,” he added.Quinton came out when she heard the voice of the cops, but she only stood by the door, watching and listening in fear. “Samuel, what is going on?” Linda asked, worried and confused.“I don’t know yet,” Samuel answered absentmindedly, because he was not even paying attention to anyone.Anyone at all would have asked that question and Samuel would have given the same answer regardless. Instead, Samuel was thinking about something else completely. He was stunned, no doubt, because this would be the first time in his entire existence that he was being arrested. It had never happened to Samuel before.But yet again, Ciara Summers had managed to drag him into her life of criminality.“This is not right!” Linda barked, facing the cops. She wanted to stand up for Samuel; this could be a chance to win Samuel over. “Samuel Fu

    Linda stayed back, clueless on what to do.She knew she should leave, because the person she had come to see had just been arrested, but this was a huge step for her and her family, she could not afford to have it go south.Fine, Samuel had shunned her by embarrassing her and shoving her aside, but she had gotten worse treatments from Samuel, so this certainly could not be the worst.“You cannot mess this up,” Ruby had told Linda sternly while she helped Linda get ready for the dinner invitation from Samuel. “You know what this means to us.”“Do you think this is genuine?” Linda had asked, because in as much as she wanted this badly, because her parents also wanted it, she was still scared of Samuel Fury.“It doesn’t matter. As long as he has given you a chance, take it without mercy,” Ruby had advised. “You can always spin the block around for your favor, never forget that.”Samuel was a fierce man that was capable of cruel things if anyone stepped on his toes, which made Linda wonde

    “Hello? Quinton?” Ciara called out over the phone, but after a thud, the line went silent, until it eventually disconnected.“What could be wrong?” Ciara asked herself.She became worried and frantic, and she knew deep inside that something was off. Did Samuel walk in on her? What was going on? Quinton did not get to tell Ciara anything before the line disconnected, and Ciara could not call her back, because doing so might implicate her.“Damn,” Ciara said. She absolutely hated being in this situation where she was helpless and hopeless. Ciara looked around her; she was still parked in the words, eating canned foods and using the car to power her phone.Ciara covered her face with her palms and sobbed regrettably. She hated how her life had become.“Gosh, what is wrong with me?” Ciara asked herself amidst sobbing. “How long am I going to live as a fugitive?”She had absolutely nowhere to go; not back to Samuel Fury or even anywhere near the city, not back to the cabin because of Mart

    Samuel paced about angrily. He was being kept in the VIP section, but he was being held anyway, and that did not sit well with him.He had his phone with him, so he saw what the blogs were writing about him.“This is insane! What manner of lies are these?!” Samuel growled.The inspector tried to calm him down, but Samuel had the feeling that the man was just trying to mock him, which infuriated him more.“The facts are connecting, you cannot blame the blogs,” the inspector said.“How?!” Samuel bellowed, but his anger had no hold on the inspector. “I already told you that I am not Ciara Summers’s accomplice! We are not even married anymore!” Samuel yelled at the top of his voice, but the inspector wasn’t listening.“The hotel at Ciara’s hometown testified to you and Ciara single-handedly harassing Lottie at their hotel,” the inspector accused. “They couldn’t have been lying, could they?”“I am going to kill Ciara when I find her,” Samuel said under his breath.

    Ciara waited for Samuel to say something after what she said to him. She smiled cynically, knowing that she had made Samuel stupefied.“Hello?” Ciara called when the silence was stretching for too long. She was considering her battery capacity and time.“Did you hear me?” Ciara asked, looking at the screen of the phone just to be certain that the call was still connected.“What do you want?” Samuel’s gruff voice boomed over the phone.Ciara tried to steady her beating heart. Maybe it had to do with the fact that she hadn’t seen Samuel for a while now, but hearing his voice just unnerved her, but it would be unwise to act the way she was feeling. Ciara knew that Samuel was smart as hell, and he would know that she was fidgety from miles afar if she wasn’t careful. Ciara was also conscious of the fact that Samuel had also tried to trick her into returning to the city. She knew it was a ploy to get a hold of her, and definitely hand her to the authorities, so she knew better than to thin

    Samuel drove home sitting at the back of a cab that he had booked after his call with Ciara that left him feeling less like a man.At first, he had to find a discreet corner to have that call with her, because he did not want any nosy person even overhearing the conversation.“Damn her!” Samuel growled.Ciara Summers was definitely nothing like all the women Samuel had ever met in his lifetime, and he doubted that he would ever meet another woman that would measure up to Ciara. “Jess sure needs to take some lessons from her,” Samuel said.Growing up, Samuel had always thought that women were weak and fragile. His mother, for example, had folded her arms and let the Fury family treat her like trash. Samuel watched Mr. Fury treat his mother like an unfortunate mistress, and his mother took it in without fighting back or reacting. She never complained. Mrs. Fury, his wife had also known that her husband cheated on her with Samuel’s mother, but she wasn’t strong enough to fight back or l

    “What are you doing here?” Samuel asked Linda as he reached for the shirt he had already tossed away when he got into the room.It was late, and he had completely forgotten that he left Linda in the house when he followed the cops to the station. “I was waiting for you,” Linda said as she entered the bedroom with permission from Samuel.She was wearing a light see-through lingerie, which made it easy for Samuel to see her lacy thong and bra. Samuel looked at her, but he was not turned on at all; even a stripper could turn him on, but somehow, Linda had never turned him on in any way, no matter how hard she tried.“Why?” Samuel asked harshly.Linda flinched at the tone Samuel was using to speak to her, but she regained her composure quickly, determined to see this through. “I was worried, that is why,” Linda responded. Samuel buttoned up his shirt, angry that he had been stopped from undressing and getting the rest that he deserved. It had been a hectic evening, and still, he had to

    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?
