“I cannot answer that,” Ciara said mournfully, and there was no amount of questioning, or conditions, or desperation that would make her divulge that until she was certain about everything.

None of what was happening was clear to her now, and for Rudge to be calling her with such demands, it means that there was something the Luscious wasn’t telling her. First of all, she still hadn’t gotten to know where her mother was buried, because even though they only told her that it was in her hometown, they did not give her a precise location.

And the fact that she kept missing out of what truly transpired meant there was more to it than meet the eyes. Until then, she would not divulge this secret to Samuel. Regardless of the rough start she had with the Luscious, and their hostility over the years she stayed with them, Ciara would still hate to drag them through her shit for nothing.

Besides, she did find Samuel kissing Linda, and right now, Ciara was not certain whose side Samuel was on. He

  • The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury    Desperate Measure

    Linda paced about her bedroom, almost running insane. She could not afford for Rudge to get to Ciara before she did, otherwise everything would be in shambles, and it seemed now that her parents might not be able to handle things as fast as needed.Some minutes ago, she and Ruby had waited anxiously to hear from Colt. According to the plan, or Ruby’s plan, they had given him a very deadly portion, one that worked only hours after intake, and had said that he would go over, act all nice and friendly, and slip it into Ciara’s drink.It was the best attempt that Ruby could come up with.At first, Colt had vehemently disagreed. “You are asking me to walk into Samuel Fury’s house and poison Ciara right there? How on earth am I ever supposed to be able to carry that out?!” “Stop being a chicken,” Ruby had reprimanded him. “Desperate times call for desperate measures, remember?” Ruby had tried to make him see reasons with her and be on the same page as her.“And do you think that would work

  • The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury    The Winner Of The Game

    Ciara and Samuel waited in his car, parked somewhere that was discreet enough while they waited.Ciara could not shake off her anxiety and nervousness, and she just kept feeling like bringing Samuel into this was a huge mistake. Her hands shook, and no matter how well she tried to clasp them together to prevent her anxiety from being obvious, she just could not do it.Samuel noticed how uneasy Ciara was. Ever since they arrived, she had been restless and constantly glancing out of the window. She had barely even spared him a glance, and they hadn’t said a word to each other.“Are you nervous?” Samuel broke the ice and asked. This was a part of Ciara Summers that he was getting to see for the first time, and it made Samuel realize that maybe his mother hadn’t judged Ciara wrongly.He began to feel that his mother probably knew more than he would possibly ever know; could be from their time together in prison, and that danger just loomed ahead for Ciara. Samuel had known real danger. He

    During the drive back to the main house, Ciara remained stoic and quiet. She was stone-cold, and she kept her eyes glued to the road. She knew that Samuel glanced at her occasionally, but she could care less. A million and one thought were running through Ciara’s head.It was as though she was going in sane.Here was another opportunity to find out the truth, and again, it slipped through her fingers just like that, but this time around, Ciara had someone to blame; Samuel Fury, which was why she could not bear to look at him, because she was too pissed off to do so.If only he had just stuck to the bargain; she tells him why she needs the money and he gives it to her, but no, Samuel Fury, as always, had wanted to control everything and have the final say, and now, she had lost to Linda Luscious. Ciara would think about Linda Luscious’s involvement in all of these, but right now, her anger was steered towards Samuel and the fact that yet again, another opportunity has been lost on her.

    Samuel dragged his feet downstairs at about 9:40pm. It was already dark outside, and he did not know that he had passed out for that long. After walking away from Ciara’s door because he could not stand the sound of her broken cries, Samuel went into the study, a place he would not find himself in on a normal day, and drowned himself in a hard drink. He needed to also feel numb, because the guilt of what he had said was tearing at his conscience, which was a surprise, because the last time Samuel checked, he did not give a damn about Ciara’s feelings.But then again, he had never seen her that hurt and broken, especially now that he had gotten a glimpse of what was happening with her. Ciara’s life was more chaotic than he had thought. At first, he had thought that she was just a girl in prison his mother wanted him to save, but ever since he got her out, Samuel had come to the realization that Ciara’s life was a web of secrets and danger. Samuel continued to take more hard drink, be

    Samuel raced upstairs, refusing to believe Quinton’s words. Suggesting that Ciara was not in the entire building when she only went to her room in less than three minutes is absurb. Samuel heard the footsteps of Quinton as she followed him up the stairs, but he did not even bother to stop and ask her to get back to her duties.Samuel got to Ciara’s room, and the moment he stepped in, he knew that Quinton was right. Not that the room held much adornment, but Samuel just had this eerie feeling. He walked over to the wardrobe and looked, and Ciara’s backpack was gone.Samuel was dumbfounded. He was confused. He was perplexed.Knowing that Quinton followed him upstairs, which Samuel was now grateful for, he turned and truly, Quinton stood by the door, agitated and worried. “When was the last time you saw her?” Samuel asked Quinton. He knew it was a silly question, considering the fact that the same Quinton had mentioned to him a few minutes ago that Ciara hadn’t come down for dinner.“Wh

    “Linda’s house?” Samuel asked Kingston, hoping that he heard wrongly.“Yes, boss,” Kingston answered with confidence.“You mean Colt and Ruby Luscious?” Samuel asked again. He knew he was probably sounding foolish, but he could not believe his ears, so he had to ask multiple times, in different ways to ensure that Kingston knew exactly what he was talking about.What bloody business did Ciara have in the home of Luscious?The last time he had seen Ciara coming out of their home in a terrible state, Linda had stated that Ciara had attempted to steal from them, that Ciara was a common thief, and Samuel had believed completely, so why would Ciara have Kingston drive her all the way there if she truly was a thief.A lot of things were not adding up at all, and they were driving Samuel insane.“What did she go there for?” Samuel asked.“She did not say, boss. She only asked that I drive her there,” Kingston answered.Angrily, Samuel reached forth to Kingston and grabbed him by the neck, cau

    Samuel raced back to the house after he was able to get himself up from the ground with Kingston running behind him like a wild beast. Fortunately for them, they had barely gone far, so the distance back to the house on foot was not a hassle. In the twinkle of an eye, Samuel and Kingston arrived at the house, both breathing and panting heavily.Quinton was in the living room, shaken and sobbing when Samuel entered alone.“What happened?” Samuel asked as he began to dial the doctor’s number. He hadn’t thought of contacting the doctor until he entered the main house.“I went into the room to ensure that the air conditioner was not too much for her like I usually did, and I checked on her, and that was when I realized that she had stopped breathing,” Quinton explained.“Are you sure?” Samuel asked and Quinton nodded.Just then, the doctor picked up.“Mr. Fury, is there a problem? You are calling really late. Is something wrong with Aunt Mary?” he asked over the phone.“Yes…yes, it seems

    Ciara arrived at the Luscious home and parked outside. Then she sat still in the car and waited. What was Ciara waiting for exactly, she could not tell.Her mind went back to the shock on Samuel Fury’s face when she had boycotted him and Kingston, entered his car and driven away. Ciara found herself satisfied with how she had played everything.Maybe if she had been this strategic and bold, she would have been able to figure out a lot of things about herself long before now. Instead, she had relied on fate to bring justice to her.Ciara snorted at the thought of that.Fate had never been kind to her. Fate had never played in her favor. Fate had never showed her exactly what she wanted. All that Ciara had gotten from life had been misfortune, woes, and tragedy, and she was sick of it. Ciara was sick of being treated like trash all the time and have words that broke her spirit thrown at her so casually.If she hadn’t relied on Samuel, she would have gotten to Rudge before Linda and she

    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?
