Delia and Leo were still cuddling on the bed when they heard a light knock on the door. It's been more than an hour since her mother left to cook. Leo encouraged her to get the door.

Delia stood up and went to open the door. She saw her mother standing there with a tray of different food.

"Uhm... I don't know what you'd prefer, so I made a variety." The woman said guiltily. She probably felt ashamed for not knowing what her daughter likes.

Delia nodded and collected the tray from her. "Thank you." She muttered.

The woman nodded. "Is there anything you'd like me to do for you?" She asked expectantly, but delia just shook her head.

"O... okay. I will go now." She said and Delia nodded. She felt awkward with the way her mother was so cautious with the way she speaks, what she says and how she acts. She wasn't the mother she remembered. But after everything, she does not expect her to free with her. She herself didn't feel free. The woman mostly made her speechless.

He suggested a small one, but Allison knowing that he was only suggesting that because of her, told him that she would be okay with anything he chooses. He eventually went for a smaller house, but she still thought it was big, but she loved it. She would love anything that he was in.On a particular day, he told her that he wouldn't be returning home that night, and that she should not wait for him. He suggested that she spend her night with Delia, as he and Leo had something important to do. Allison was upset at first, but after much coaxing and promises to make up, she finally agreed.

    Calvin came home early in the morning, but couldn't be with his wife, as she had invited Delia over. He went to see them though, but then he went to stay in their bedroom. Somehow he prayed Delia would stay longer. He was not ready to face Allison yet. How was he to tell her that he killed Gary. He had slept in a hotel with Leo, and he washed himself so much as if it would cancel the fact that he had committed murder.Did he regret killing him? No. Will he kill him again if he were to go back in time? Definitely! He wished to end every person that had ever caused her pain, and his father was on the top in that list, but he didn't want his sister to hate him.He was only worried about Allison's reaction and how she would see him.When Delia left, Allison came looking for him. He first pretended to be asleep.Just one glance at him and she knew that he was faking the sleep."What naughty thing did you do this time hubby?" She said as she went to sit on the bed.

  • Trapped in her love    Unreciprocated feelings

    Calvin and Allison sat together in a couch in the living room. The television was on, but they were not paying it any attention, as they were busy cuddling and chatting with themselves. But soon Calvin's attention was pulled to the television when a familiar news popped up on the screen."Hannah St. James found dead." Calvin read aloud, while the reporter gave the news. "So they are just finding out." He shook his head. Hannah's family didn't find out about her death on time because they assumed that she was out of the country, which was not a new thing. Once Hannah got bored of a place, she would usually move away. She does it so casually that she even leaves a country without telling anyone in her family.Her family assumed that was the case, but after a month went by without hearing from her at all, they became worried. They declared her missing, and they searched for a long time, before they found her skeleton in the small house that she went to live in.Allison's brows furrowed

    With his father free again, Calvin doubled the securities around his wife, always worrying and made her always watch where she was going and who she was with. He might have even ended up scaring her, but he believed it was worth it, she would have to be careful herself. He needed her safe!But as time passed, he realized that the man was not doing anything against them. Instead he was busy clearing his tarnished name. He even gained sympathy from a lot of important people, broadening his connections. More time passed and he still didn't make any move towards them. It was as if he left them alone, but instead of feeling relief, Calvin felt anxious. What if he had a plan? What if he was going to do something when he least expected? He could not just come back and turn into a saint.Feeling uneasy one day, he called him."Never did I expect you would call me one day." The man said, sounding amused.At least they had something in common there."What are you up to?" Calvin asked, not beati

  • Trapped in her love    My father needs to die

    Calvin fell silent for a while when Allison asked that. Children? He really wanted them. He had even wanted to tell her about it before his father came out. The man had been silent since, but he couldn't risk putting his wife in harm's way again, and definitely not when she was pregnant. He still hadn't forgotten how the last one went, the pain she went through."Baby?" Allison called, when he didn't answer. She could tell that he was deep in thoughts, and she knew exactly what was going on in his mind. She cupped his face."Are we going to worry about him for the rest of our lives?"Her heart ached. This one year since she married him was easily the best time of her life. He made her happy, and she did same to him. They lived, enjoying everyday without a care in the world, but neither of them ever brought up the issue of having a child. But now, it was starting to bother her. She wanted a child, and she believed that he wanted one too."I am not worried about him, I am worried about

He asked her to text him the number. He was even surprised that the person didn't hide his contact. He decided to trace the caller with the number, but he believed it would not be all that easy. He reasoned that the number might not even belong to the person at all, or maybe he destroyed it. Or it could just be a prank, maybe by her friend.The next day when Calvin returned from work, he went to find his wife who came back before him. He found her on the dining, having dinner and chatting with Ellie. She and the woman have gotten close in the past one year.They sat opposite each other with Allison's back facing him.

    Calvin spent a few days searching for the guy named Jerry, but he didn't find him. He couldn't help but worry about how shady the situation was. Jerry let himself be discovered, yet he was hiding from him. He couldn't stop the thought that maybe this was all just planned. Perhaps his father was even involved. Anytime he couldn't trace any of his offenders, his father automatically becomes the suspect.Calvin had even gone to confront the man, even though it was very difficult for him. In fact, he had to use all his will power to convince himself to confront him, only for the man to justify himself as usual. He even sounded like he was concerned about Naomi, but Calvin believed that it was all an act.A few days later, he sent people to bring Naomi back in a private jet. He didn't want to risk her being there alone, not knowing who had their eyes on her.Naomi had only spent a day in the country, when one is her friends, Nancy came to visit her.

    Calvin stared at Jerry, trying his best to appear friendly. He kept reminding himself that his grandmother was there. Allison didn't look alright, and he could already guess Jerry had something to do with it. Even though his gaze at Jerry wasn't hostile, there was clear warning in his eyes. He quickly led Allison away. "Oh I didn't tell you how much my grandsons are in love with their wives. You need to see Calvin when the Allison is experiencing the slightest discomfort. Love is indeed a beautiful thing." Grandma said to the uncomfortable Jerry. Jerry smiled and nodded his head. "It hasn't been up to a month since Delia and Leo got married. I wish we had met you earlier, you would have attended the wedding. It was beautiful." "We really would have wanted you there." Delia said, and grandma beamed, failing to see the sarcasm. "Jerry the whole family loves you already. It's really going to be a wonderful week." Grandma exclaimed. A week? A whole week of staying together with them?

Grandma had begged him to stay in the mansion with her, and he was forced to oblige. During their stay, he had learnt more about the family than he knew.He had asked to know what happened between Calvin and their father. The woman was reluctant to tell him at first, but when she became very comfortable with him, it slipped. He was beyond shocked and disappointed to find out that his father had killed Calvin's mother. He felt so betrayed and angry, but one couldn't release their anger on the dead.Aunt Margaret introduced her boyfriend to Jerry. She also told him that she has a son and a daughter, and that they would also be coming.They chatted, whiling away time before Naomi and Sasha came. Both girls slumped on one of the living room's couches. By then, grandma had gone to her room to have her n

    Calvin brought a doctor to the house to check if Allison is pregnant as he promised her the previous day. The both of them were on their toes the whole time as the doctor took her blood. After a while, he asked them to leave so as to run some tests on the blood.Calvin took his wife to the living room. They sat down on the couch in silence, doing nothing in particular. Just waiting impatiently. Time seemed to move slowly, and the couple didn't have the zeal to do any other thing.Finally, the doctor came out, and they didn't know when they rose to their feet."Am I...?" Allison began anxiously."Congratulations Mr and Mrs Bruce." The doctor said with a smile, then he turned to Allison. "You are three weeks gone."Allison turned to Calvin, and she saw that his hands were already wide open, inviting her for an embrace. She hugged him tightly, her hands went around his neck, holding him with a firm grip. She suddenly began to laugh, but not long after, her laughter turned into sobs. "It

    Calvin instantly regretted saying that. What if that was not the case? He would just raise her hope only to leave her disappointed in the end. But he just couldn't help himself, as the thought of her getting pregnant excited him.Allison's lips parted and closed, before parting again. "We... we should see a doctor." She suggested."I was only guessing. I am not certain." Calvin said, not wanting her to get too hopeful."But it could be true. I have been feeling a little sick for a while now. Maybe I am really pregnant Calvin. We should check." Now she looked so anxious to know. "I had previously thought about that, but I always pushed it away, not wanting to get my hopes high. But now that you noticed and mentioned it, I want to check. It is better I just know, even if I get a negative answer."Calvin walked up to her and kissed her forehead, letting his lips linger there for a few seconds. "We will be seeing a doctor tomorrow.""Thank you baby.""Anything for you princess." He smile

    Delia's gown hugged her body from her breasts to her waist, before it flowed freely downwards. She had wanted it to be tight and take her whole figure, but Charlotte discouraged her as she was pregnant, and grandma made sure to give her her own set of instructions. Delia wondered if they were exaggerating as she was only a few weeks pregnant. She had to remind them from time to time that she wasn't a piece of glass.The front of the dress was opened in a heart shaped pattern, and two royal blue straps attached to it was tied at the back, around her neck, as the dress was completely handless, leaving her back open. The upper part of the dress, close to her breasts to her back was blue, embedded with white designs. While the free end was also blue. The gown flowed voluptuously behind her, and she wondered if she would be able to walk freely.She stared at herself in the mirror, heart full with so much happiness, and a sense of fulfillment. She knew that she was not making a mistake by

    Calvin woke up one morning. He searched the bed for Allison as he usually does, but she wasn't there. He got up to go close the open curtains as the light rays were shining brightly in the room, and his eyes were yet to adjust to it. From the way everywhere looked bright, he knew he had woken up very late. He and Allison had a very wild night last night. He still expected her to be in bed, knowing he tired her out.He quickly went to search for her, worried that he might have tired her out too much. Their bathroom was the first place he searched, but he didn't find her there.Coming out of the room, he met Ellie. "Good morning Ellie. Do you know where Ally is?""She's in the kitchen. She said she wanted to make you breakfast." Ellie answered with a shrug, and Calvin's feet took him to the kitchen wasting another second.He smiled when he saw her from the door. She was singing a song and also dancing to it. Somehow, she looked more radiant."What are you doing standing there?" Alliso

  • Trapped in her love    Jerry

    It had only been two days since Calvin, Allison and Naomi returned home from the ancestral home when they had an unexpected visitor, Jerry. Calvin had ordered that he shouldn't be let in, as he did not want Allison to see him and remember her traumatizing experience with him. Jerry stayed for a long while, causing a fuss at the gates. But after a while, he left.Calvin was thankful that he left, only that he did not expect him to come the next day. Just like the previous day he ordered that he shouldn't be let in, but Jerry stayed at the gates disturbing the peace of his home, accusing him of killing his parents.After a while, Calvin finally decided to come down to let him in. But only because Allison wasn't home, as she had began to spend all her time with Delia since she heard she was pregnant. Naomi wasn't home as well.Jerry rushed towards Calvin the moment he came down, ready to throw a punch or two at him, but he was quickly held by one of Calvin's men."I presume you came here

    Allison stared at Calvin, completely taken aback by the information. Did he say that Jerry was his half-brother? "H... How?" "I am as surprised as you are princess. I think he is the older brother, and he is bitter, as he is the one supposed to get the company." Calvin explained, making Allison crease her brows in worry. "This is not good. He is a threat to you." Calvin shook his head. "He is an illegitimate son, and I guess no one in the family knows about him. Not even grandma." "He can easily prove that he is your father's son." He chuckled. "Even if he does that princess, the company will still belong to me. It is not written anywhere that it belongs to the first born. I am the rightful owner legitimately, plus everyone in the family apart from my late father..." he paused shortly, as if the word didn't sound right on his tongue. "... and his wife supports me. Jerry or whatsoever he is called have no claim." He shrugged. Allison lay her head on his chest, as she made hersel

    Naomi lowered her head as she couldn't bear to look Calvin in the eyes. Her body shivered violently, and her teeth chattered against each other. The temperature around her suddenly felt so chill, and her heart hammered in her chest like it was going to pull out.Everything happened just so fast. When she saw her father pointing a gun at Calvin, and she realized that he was going to shoot him, she quickly picked up the gun on the floor and shot him instead. It was an instinctual reaction."Na... Naomi?"She heard Calvin call her. The shock in his voice was evident, even though his tone was low. Was he disappointed?Calvin walked up to his shivering sister, and wrapped her in a tight hug."Why? Oh God! why did you do that?"He knew that she was going to live with the guilt forever. She was the last person he expected to do that. She had always been so soft-hearted, and she did care about their father. "I... I... am... I..." She stuttered, unable to make a coherent statement.
