Ciara was taken aback by the question. Aside the fact that she hadn’t expected that, she had not even remembered about her baby.

She had been so engrossed with thinking about the situation of things that issues of her pregnancy completely evaded Ciara. Usually, that would have been her utmost concern. That would have been the first question that she would have asked, but mysteriously, it had completely evaded her memory. Ciara concluded that it had something to do with the attack. Besides, she was still recovering and trying to remember all that happened vividly, and not in flashes.

Involuntarily, as soon as the question came out of Aunt Mary’s mouth, Ciara’s hand flew to her stomach, and she began to cradle it. She could not feel anything and Ciara became instantly worried. Tears welled up in her eyes.

Aunt Mary watched this intently, and without being told, she had the answer to the question she asked. Aunt Mary became emotional. “You are pregnant,” she said. It wasn’t a question th

    Ciara entered the luxury apartment weakly along with Samuel and Aunt Mary. Aunt Mary was being rolled in by Samuel. They tried to dissuade Aunt Mary from following them to the apartment, but she vehemently refused and insisted she followed them.One of the reasons that neither Ciara nor Samuel wanted Aunt Mary to follow them to the apartment after Ciara was discharged from the hospital is because they did not want her to find out that Samuel has not actually been living in the apartment with Ciara. They, especially Samuel, did not want Aunt Mary to know that he had sent her to the luxury apartment and dumped her there just so that he would not have to deal with her presence.Samuel had a lot on his plate that was causing him a whole lot of stress and anguish, and he did not need the mystery of Ciara to be added to his.The moment they stepped in, Aunt Quinton who had been standing in the living room, expectantly waiting for Ciara’s arrival hurried over to her in relief and excitement.

    Ciara devoured the full plate of meal that Aunt Quinton had served her. If an elephant was presented to her right there and then, Ciara would eat it all up at a go. She was so famished that she shameless ate up what she was served, and thankfully, the food was well made.“After he knocked you off, he went for the knife,” Aunt Quinton stood beside Ciara and explained.Ciara hadn’t even asked for the full story yet, but she was somehow grateful that the woman was freely dishing them out to her. After she had managed to get Samule Fury off her back with the confrontation, Ciara had fallen on the bed and taken long hours of sleep. When Aunt Quinton entered her room to wake her up for dinner, she mentioned to Ciara that she had been worried, because Ciara had been sleeping for more than three hours. For Ciara, that was the longest she had slept for a long time now.Ciara gestured to Aunt Quinton to sit down and continue the gist. She was not a fan of treating domestic workers as such, and

    “You cannot just make decisions that affect me without consulting me. I have allowed you done it before, but now, I refuse to let it continue,” Ciara said firmly as she entered into Samuel’s penthouse with him.They were alone in the entire place, and Ciara did not like the fact that he just strolled into the luxury apartment, make a declaration, get Aunt Quinton to pack up Ciara’s few things in the blink of an eye, and before Ciara knew it, they were in his penthouse.She was literally boiling with so much rage and anger. Samuel ignored Ciara which made her even more infuriated. “You have forced my hands into what I do not want long enough. I will not allow it!” Ciara’s tone was beginning to hit the roof.“One more ungrateful word from you and I will ensure that you don’t get to say anything until tomorrow,” Samuel said icily.Ciara was taken aback by the threat. It sounded very much like what he was capable of doing, and much to Ciara’s knowledge, people rarely knew that Samuel eve

    Samuel Fury sat across from Colt at the fine dining restaurant. He stared at the man and hoped that this meeting would be quick and brief. When the waitress, a young and beautiful waitress brought their drinks, Samuel thought for a moment that it was Ciara Summer, because the waitress actually has the same hair color as Ciara. Samuel sat upright instantly, wondering if Ciara had escaped from the penthouse again, but when the waitress smiled at them politely, Samuel knew that she actually looked nothing like Ciara.His mind was only playing games with him.Besides, it would not be possible for anyone to get into the penthouse or even get out without his permission, because Samuel placed a code on it, so much so that a break in would never even occur which was why it was the only place he could think to take Ciara Summers when the cops advised him to take her out of the apartment for safety reasons, even if he absolutely hated the idea. And Samuel was not stupid enough to let Ciara or a

    Ciara paced around the penthouse not knowing what to do. She could not take her eyes off the knife. What was the knife doing in Samuel Fury’s penthouse? She could clearly remember when he told her that he was even more dangerous than her suspect. Did Samuel Fury try to murder her? Did he send someone to the luxury apartment to kill her? First of all, he acted as though they needed a gardener for the lawn, and suddenly, right after they returned from their trip, Ciara found the same man she suspected must have wanted to attack her in this same penthouse. Still, Samuel denied seeing anyone behind her; the same penthouse no one knew about, so how come Ciara’s attacker knew the place and almost attacked her there? It was all now beginning to come together. Samuel Fury was after her life. He forced her to marry him, but that was solely because he wanted to please his dying mother, and now, Samuel wants to get rid of her by all means.Ciara shivered.She fell on the floor and sobbed sorro

    In a frenzy panic, Ciara quickly tossed the knife back to its position and sauntered to her room. She had no idea who was opening the door, and she did not even remember the camera when she heard the clicking sound. Whatever the case may be, Ciara did not want to just sit there and wait to be murdered, because it was highly possible that Samuel could have sent someone over to the penthouse to complete what the first man he hired failed to do.From Ciara’s room; the room Samuel loaned to her actually, found a small opening in the curtains. Inside the penthouse, the walls were glassed, so once the curtains are taken out, you could literally see every part of the rooms and spaces easily. It was a cozy and beautiful setting, but right now, it feels to Ciara as though she was in the lion’s den. If she had known that Samuel was capable of eliminating her, she would have vehemently stood against the order of coming to the penthouse for her supposed safety.From the opening, Ciara watched and

    Samuel walked into the hospital and when he checked his watch, he realized that he was very late. He knew that he was late, but he did not know how late he was.“Good morning, Mr. Fury,” the hospital receptionist greeted Samuel cheerily.Samuel looked at her but ignored her greeting. He was still angry with her for not keeping the name of the lady who came into the hospital attempting to pay his mother a visit, and worse, she still worked there. Samuel had raised hell that day when she fumbled and admitted that she had actually forgotten to take down the lady’s name, and he had demanded that she be fired immediately, but his mother, with her tender and graceful heart had specifically asked that she should be pardoned.Well, everyone wasn’t like Mary. Samuel would never understand how his mother managed to maintain being so nice, forgiving, empathetic and helpful to everyone around her despite what she had been through in the hands of the Fury family, but he was nothing like her.

    Ciara jolted awake by the unexpected buzzing of her phone. Somehow, she had managed to doze off after Samuel left the penthouse. He hadn’t said anything to her after their eyes met, and for a second, Ciara thought he was going to storm into the room and strangle her.Instead, he had walked out of the penthouse completely.“Hello, Ciara Summers on the line,” Ciara said drowsily. She did not even bother to check who was calling before picking. She had just jolted awake and reached for the ringing gadget.“Dear, are you alright? I have been worried sick about you,” Aunt Mary’s voice filtered into Ciara’s ears.“Yes, Aunt Mary, I am alright,” it wasn’t true, but Ciara did not want to put the woman through another bout of panic. Besides, she already had her health to worry about.“Aunt Mary was during the prison days, Ciara. I am your mother-in-law now,” Aunt Mary scolded lightly. Ciara could hear her chuckle in the background.Tears welled up in Ciara’s eyes. She would never understand wh

    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?
