"Mom! I'm home," Natalie hollered as she stepped into the sitting room.
Her mom wasn't there and neither was she in the kitchen. She headed towards the room and heard a soft moan from the bathroom.
"Mom?" She called softly.
"In here, Nat. Just a sec."
She heaved a sigh of relief at the sound of her mother's voice.
A few minutes later, her mom came out flashing her a dazzling smile. Natalie eyed her suspiciously.
"What's got you in such a good mood?"
"How was school today, Nat?" Her mom asked ignoring her q

"I've never been to the movies before."Dan gave her an odd look. "Never?"She shook her head. "Plus I'm waiting till I'm sixteen."Natalie chuckled at Dan's mortified expression. She had just returned from school and was rejoicing it was the weekends so she wouldn't have to go to school till Monday.Dan had met her in her excited state and suggested an outing to start her weekend."It's not compulsory to be sixteen before going to the movies," he pointed out.She nodded. "I know it's not but I wish to do it like that.""Fine, I understand," he replied grudgingly.

Monday.The worst day of the week but somehow Natalie couldn't escape it. Partially because she was still a high school student and she wasn't an adult yet.Grumbling under her breath and muttering curses not fit for fifteen years old, Natalie dressed up for school in her black skinny jeans, white crop top, and her black leather jacket.She finished her dressing with black boots and light make-up before strutting downstairs. She may be the kid they picked on in school but it didn't stop her from looking her best especially on Mondays."Breakfast is ready, Natalie!"She quickened her pace at the sound of her mother's voice and raced downstairs grabbing a slice of bread smeared with jam and a cu

Natalie heard the screeching of tires and she was quick to stop Noah from running towards the sound of the cars.Peeking out through the shed, she saw unfamiliar Hilux pull into their compound with lots of unfamiliar men stepping down from the car.A shiver ran through her spine and she hid her brother carefully in the shed warning him not to step out before she crept out of the shed and headed towards the back of the house.Her mom was standing on the porch waiting for them to come and have lunch so she had seen the cars that drove into the compound."Hello, how may I help you?" She tried her best to sound polite while Natalie peeked at them from her hiding spot.She watched the men drag her

Dante stared at the cliff. His head was aching and he was starting to feel light-headed. She had fallen down the cliff and he had done nothing to save her.He had watched her fall down the cliff without fighting for her life. She had fallen into the water probably hitting a rock or drowning.Either way, she was dead and he hadn't been able to stop her. He could have confessed and not given Xavier the joy of breaking them up.Xavier.That single name sent rage through his spine. Whirling around he saw him sitting on the floor with his hands on his head."I didn't mean it like this, you are supposed to suffer not get the easy way out," Xavier kept muttering repeatedly.

She was falling freely losing all her will to live. She had lost everything, the very reason for living had been destroyed.Every part of her body was in pain not from physical pain but from emotional trauma. How could he lie to her? She had been sleeping with a murderer and she didn't know.She had accepted to marry him, slept on his bed, laughed and joked with him without knowing he was the sole reason for her fear.She had accepted her fate that she was going to die when suddenly she remembered her brother.Noah.She had left him in the hands of these murderers, she had to save him but she had to save herself first.

The road was dark and there was snow everywhere. Sean drove quietly knowing Christmas was around the corner.His mind drifted to a lot of places. He still could not forgive himself for her death but he wouldn't let the guilt eat away his remaining time on earth.Time and time again, he asked himself what would have been different if he hadn't sacrificed them.Perhaps, they would still live in hiding, haunting, and taunting his every move while he kept lying to everyone that mattered to him.Sean chuckled darkly. He was willing to face the truth and say that nothing ever mattered to him or rather no one.Sean Durango looked out for himself only and no one else.

"Come on, you can do this!"Natalie scoffed before lying down on the bed again. There was no way Trish was gonna talk her into using crutches and parading around a place she barely knew.Trish sighed. "It's the only way to help you walk again.""I will find another way, I'm not picking that thing up," Natalie snapped."I understand your fear but using crutches doesn't mean you're crippled, it's to aid the muscles of the legs...""Trish.""Yeah?""Are you a doctor?""No, but..."&nbs

"I can't believe I messed up!"Lee sighed taking a seat on the sofa wiping his sweaty brow while Leo headed to the freezer to gulp down a glass of water.It's been over five days since the death of Natalie although Dante was still finding it difficult to accept that, the realization that he may have lost the only living relation Natalie had fueled his anger towards himself.They've scorched through the entire town searching for Noah but they haven't gotten any luck so far.

"Dante?"Her husband stared at her with a confused expression."Na—ruff!"The next thing that followed was utter chaos as she stood mortified.Natalie blinked. Maybe if she closed her eyes and opened it, the horrible scene would disappear but the shrill voices reminded her that it was real."He is crazy!” someone exclaimed."Call the asylum!" Another added.Natalie watched as her husband tore at people's trousers and skirts barking like a dog.Like an actual dog! A real dog!She looked around mortified as she tried to stop them from racing out of the house screaming their lungs out.

“Doctor, what is wrong with my husband?” Natalie stared at Dante as he lay down peacefully on the hospital bed, a small smile playing on his lips. She caressed his hair and kissed his cheeks softly. “He’ll be asleep for a while, Ma’am,” the doctor answered. “Did you find out what's wrong?” Natalie asked. The doctor nodded and she heaved a sigh of relief. She had worried that everything wouldn't go according to her plans and she would have to start afresh after ruining Dante’s image. “This is the document of Dante’s hospital reports,” the doctor said, handing her some papers. Natalie went through it and a smile formed on her lips. “Thank you so much, Doctor,” Natalie smiled. The doctor nodded, “You’re welcome, Ma’am. I wish you success.”Natalie nodded as the doctor left. A few minutes later Lee stepped into the hospital room, panting. “Reporters... Outside... Wolves!” he panted. Natalie shrugged, “Calm down, Lee. Did you get it?”Lee handed her a box and nodded, “Everything i

Natalie stared at Dante as she saw the speech he had written and she chuckled."What's funny?" Dante asked with a frown."You are writing a speech like you aren't a businessman again," she chortled.Dante's frown deepened. "What is wrong with that?"Natalie smiled. "I just don't think it would be necessary for that. You can do that without the speech."Dante furrowed his brows at her. "It's an impromptu speech, Natalie. I need to be prepared."Natalie noticed the way his muscles were tensed and she sighed. She knew he was nervous but she didn't know what was going on in his mind.She stood up and touched his biceps. He smiled at her touch and she smiled. "Why are you so tensed?" She asked.He shrugged. "What do you mean? I'm not tensed."Natalie smirked. "You are, Dante."Dante sighed and took a seat beside her on the bed. He massaged his throbbing temples and sighed again."Out with it!" Natalie exclaimed."I'm scared, Nat," he whispered.Natalie froze at the tone of his voice. Her p

She tried connecting the dots but at each point, she came up blank. Nothing made any sense whatsoever and Sophie had agreed to accompany Dante. It was only out of jealousy that she had decided to go with Dante. Could it be that this whole thing had been a trap to ruin her trust with Dante? What more can break a relationship except when they've lost trust in each other? First, she was made to lose faith in Dante by finding out about his affair with Sophie which wasn't so much of a big deal if she had just sat down to think about it. She massaged her temples as she felt the headache beginning to form. She needed to stay focused because that was what Sophie was trying to disrupt. For some reason, she knew that her coming here would do no good for either her or Dante. How could she have let this slip by so quickly? She picked up her pen and went to the board, there was a time when she had defeated Jared and Sophie, now was the same time to do just that. She examined the things that

Dante stepped out of the police van as he followed them to the cell where he would stay. "You will have to cool off here for the night, sir. Someone called us and suggested you spend the night here before you strangle your wife out of anger." Dante ignored the policeman as he thought about what Natalie had done. He knew he shouldn't be upset after what happened with Sophie but he was. In this frame of mind, he was willing to kill someone preferably Dario for touching her. And he has said he tasted his fucking wife! Those words alone had set his blood boiling with anger. He waited as the inspector opened the door and he entered his cell. His mind was reeling with lots of thoughts as he thought about what to do with Natalie. He didn't know if he should believe her when she said nothing happened. But the pictures... They were just too damn intimate for his liking and he wanted to strangle Dario for touching her the way only he could. How could she be so heartless and betray him li

He jerked away from her touch. "You've already embarrassed me before the media I don't care!""What nonsense are you talking about?" Dario asked."I'm talking about this!" Dante yelled shoving his phone in their face.Natalie gasped when she saw the pictures on his phone. It was when Dario had kissed her and when he had slipped her dress off her shoulder."Dante, this isn't what it looks like," she cried.He glared at her. "Yeah, then what does it look like?"Dario ran a hand through his hair. "Would you believe me if I say that I have no idea of how this came about?"Dante glared at him. "Try lying to someone else!""I swear Dante. The last thing I remembered was blacking out on the grass in the cliff before this whole kissing scenario after that blacking out everything is a blur," Dario stated."Are you trying to tell me that my wife is the one..."Dario interrupted him sharply. "Natalie would never do such a thing. I don't know what happened but it's not what you're thinking."Natal

His eyes narrowed into slits when he saw that she was still cuddled up with Dario while the media took pictures.How could she be asleep in this noisy environment?!Maybe because she had been so busy with something else, a malicious voice said in his mind.He noticed Natalie stirring and he glared at them trying to control his temper. "Get away from here!" He yelled at the media."She's waking and him too!"The media yelled ignoring him. He whirled around to see Natalie stretch and wake up before she froze at the flash of cameras.He saw the wild and confused look in her eyes and then she shook Dario awake. He saw how confused Dante looked and for some weird reason, he didn't believe a thing of what he had seen.Suddenly, the flashes of her naked body with Dario flashed in his mind and he gritted his teeth in anger."Mrs. Rodrio, are you trying to get back at your husband by cheating on him with his best friend?" One of the reporters asked.Natalie's eyes widened as he saw her grip Da

She froze. "Sorry for what, Dario?""Maybe if I hadn't encouraged you that day to go after him, If I had just slept with you that day then we would have ended up together," he murmured.Natalie frowned. "What are you talking about, Dario? Why are you bringing up the past?"He was looking at her but she was so sure he wasn't seeing her. She was sure he was in a reverie, probably transported back to ten years ago when she had gone to seduce him in his room."Dario?""If you had married me instead you won't be going through this pain. And I'm rich also just like Dante. Why did I ever push you away," he continued talking like he wasn't seeing her."Dario, what is wrong with you?" She asked sitting up.He ignored her and continued talking. "Perhaps, I can redeem that situation by making you mine. It's not too late."Her eyes widened. "The fuck are you talking about? It's fucking lat..."Her eyes were huge as she felt his soft lips on hers and his hands roaming around her body.She tried to

They stepped into the board meeting where the entire board of directors was waiting and the news playing on the television was the same news from earlier."Good day, Mr. and Mrs. Rodrigo," the assistant board chairman smiled at them.Natalie nodded as they hurriedly turned off the television.Quickly, they took their seats and she sat down beside her husband."The shares are falling drastically, Mr. Rodrigo!" one of the board members exclaimed."I think this video of you and your wife has gone viral!" Another added."Oh my gosh! This is a scandal associated with this company," someone chirped in."You need to address this matter as soon as possible, Mr. Rodrigo," someone added.Soon everyone was talking and he couldn't hear anyone again. He tried to calm them down but they were in full panic mode.Natalie wiggled out of his arms as she headed for the door."Where are you going, love?" He asked surprised.She shook her head. "I have to leave this place. I can't stay here any longer.""B
