Three weeks went by in the blink of an eye and within those days, Raina was grateful that Jude didn't show up to give them problems. There was enough food to eat and things they needed were provided except the purchase of a phone. Jude had exempted that request by instructing the guards. One time, Raina purposely frustrated them by sending the errand guards to buy many local food ingredients and other provisions which she thought would take a long time, enough for her to escape with her children, but she was caught by the more guards Jude had sent over to tighten the security of the house after the incident with the two guards weeks ago. After three attempts of escaping and failing, Raina gave up and decided to live as a hostage without anything fun, not even a phone to surf the internet. Just she and her children, laughing at silly jokes, watching cartoons, and praying day and night for their freedom. Deep down, the thought that Jude will query her for the broken windscree
Raina anxiously walked into the living room after hastily washing the guards' dishes. She wiped her hand on her cloth, moving to and fro, and nibbling on her lips in worry for David and Richard. Her fear of the thought that Jude might fire them overpowered the fear of Jude's arrival. She wondered what was taking Jude so long to come inside. 'Or was he commanding David and Richard not to move?' She thought. Raina decided to wait until Jude comes in. She wanted to plead on her friend's behalf before the night-shift guard reported them. She wasn't confident that Jude would consider her apology, but she was determined to try without wobbling. Sweats poured out of her skin, her heart racing abnormally when she heard the sound of someone struggling to open the door by aggressively pressing the knob. Raina positioned herself not far from the entrance, head bowed and hands clasped into her lap as she sweated profusely. She was determined to be on Jude's good side tonight without knowing
"Settle down? Some of the responsibilities of married couples are the wife cooking for her husband, and living in his house while he caters for her and the children. Those two are guaranteed between you and me. I freaking feed those kids of yours and you, their smitten mother. Why don't you improve by satisfying my sexual needs? You kept eating my food for free and even dared to serve the guards, but you were so reluctant to ask about the cruel master's welfare for three weeks. Did you just mention advising me because you care? You lie between the hole of your anus, Dove" Jude yelped, eyes glittering with a little hue of hurt. "Jude…""Master.." he corrected coldly. "It's not like you are important or I was expecting anything from you. So...fucking mind your business and focus on the deal we made. I can change my mind in the blink of an eye. Walk out of my sight and make some food. I can't wait less than thirty minutes…." Jude muttered, eyebrows wiggling in anger as he stretched hims
Raina couldn't endure the irritating food going into her body after forcefully consuming a spoonful. She had the urge to vomit it out but her dread of what Jude would do made her swallow it. She was sweating profusely, as she moved the second spoon to her mouth, her hands trembling terribly. She raised a pleading stare at Jude and curled in trepidation after making contact with Jude's mischievous eyes. She was freezing and sweating under the usual temperature of the room. "I can't do it, Jude. Please, I'm sorry" She cried out, hurriedly falling on her knees as she dropped the spoon. Her eyes suddenly felt drowsy as she struggled to keep herself balanced even in a kneeling position. "You deserved it…." Jude's voice slowly fades away as it becomes distant to her ears. Her eyes closed and her body quivered badly. "My kids have not eaten." She fought not to give in to unconsciousness, but her body betrayed her as she went limp on the floor, her body jerking twice, once, and then s
THE NEXT MORNING:Raina twitched her eyebrows and massaged her forehead to relieve herself from the throbbing headache that threatened to split her head into several pieces of flesh. The twinge she was experiencing in her cranium was unbearable as she winced severally, but she still managed to force her eyes open as they reluctantly tried to access her surroundings. A strange room. She flung herself out of the massive bed as anxiety gradually crept under her skin, making her breathing erratic. She fell on the ground when her eyes rolled dizzily to a spacious wine cellar at the side of the room. Weird. Raina wondered why it was built in the room like a separate space. Then It occurred to her that the wine cellar was the same design as the one towards the living room. The similarity made her nerves slowly calm down at her assumption that she might have been abducted. She smartly figured out that she was probably in the master bedroom considering how extravagant it was built. Durin
TWO HOURS LATER:Richard accompanied Raina out of the therapy quarters in the psychological center which was another location, but part of 'Harmony', the Bellingham's Family Hospital. It was a grand Hospital, practically the largest in Singapore. She had visited the therapist who was already anticipating her arrival as the staff had been informed by the authorities who were also informed by Jude's Secretary. Raina didn't ponder on who might have told the therapist that she was coming as she knew how much of an influence the Bellinghams retain. She ran a quick test which resulted in her going through mental stress. She couldn't deny that fact and was glad that she was not suffering from any strange disorders Jude had claimed. She was scheduled to meet up with the medical counselors every Wednesday and was handed her test result after giving her several body supplements. She appreciated the sweet therapist before leaving for the main clinic to check on Gerold. Raina nervously clasped
Raina reluctantly stretched the handkerchief Richard had given her to the older Nurse whose tears wouldn't stop streaming from her eyes to her cheeks. Her heart suddenly loosened up as she got eager to listen to her narrative. "Thank you," Nurse Kaitlin appreciated, collecting the handkerchief. "Well…for someone who was financially struggling, I had given up and submitted myself to cancer until that day he defended me and I had experienced my first heartbeat for a guy. I kept wondering why he helped, and how he knew about my health issues. I decided to ask him because I was bothered. You know, he was a senior and was wealthy…it wasn't easy for me to see him, but I did see him one day and it was at a beach very close to my parent's house." Kaitlin sniffed indignantly and continued as memories flashed through her. "I was surprised that Gerold was in such a pastoral area and walked up to him. I could still recall how his eyes brightened when he saw me. He told me that he usually come
Raina was sweating profusely as several ominous imaginations ran across her mind. Are they trying to take my kids away again? Will they provide false evidence that I attempted to massacre Gerold or accuse me of causing Jude to suffer from health disorders? "If we were informed earlier, we could have prepared. We are supposed to go this morning right? How about we postpone it so that we won't delay them from going to work?" She blurted out suggestions she assumed might guarantee her and her twin's absence from the meeting. Jude dropped his hand from his forehead as a taunting smirk stretched at the corner of his lips. He found her statement foolish, "Should have been informed earlier? Do you think you are going there for a party or some kind of celebration?" he scoffed, rolling his eyes. "I…I…" Raina bit her lips, wishing the ground could split and transport her to another planet. She would do anything in return not to meet the Bellingham family this morning. "Will you go fe
Jude's private security personnel connected Raina's phone number tracking information to his phone. His heart was beating abnormally as he traced the signal into the airport's clinic. "Are you sure this thing works perfectly? I am at the sanitarium..." he kept monitoring his movement, and staring at the phone at the same time. "Yes, boss. It works correctly..." "Ok" he answered and cut the call. Jude gulps nervously and calls the attention of a Nurse. "Hi, ma'am. Can you accompany me inside? I am tracking someone who is probably in this infirmary and I don't want any disturbance or queries until I confirm my search" He pleads even though the nurse's eyes widen in surprise. She nodded her head, her cheeks turning red. They stopped at the front of a room when the tracking red light continued to blink, "I think it's here," Jude's anxiety skyrocketed, his palms and forehead now soaked with sweat. He held his breath and opened the door, his eyes seized on the pale figure lying
THREE WEEKS LATER: GABRIELLE'S WEDDING DAY Raina sat on a chair at the front of the huge mirror, while the hairstylist re-curls her hair. The past three weeks had been tough. She recalled waking up at the Harmony Hospital with just a minor injury on her arm. She had asked about Jude from his mother who coincidentally visited at the time she gained consciousness, but his mother just kept wailing in despair. A good Samaritan had helped Raina and Jude to a nearby hospital before they were transferred back to the Bellingham Family Hospital. She had spent only three days at the hospital, and within those three days, like a miracle, the twins hurriedly accepted the news that Jude was their father when Gerold visited them at Gabrielle's residence. Surprisingly, there was no harsh backlash from the internet. People viewed everything revealed about Raina and Jude like a love story, but unfortunately for the characters, it seemed like a departure when Jude finally began to respond to tre
Gradually, he continued to thrust inside her, groaning into her mouth each time a sparkle of extreme pleasure ignited in his body. Her moans assured him that she was enjoying it too, and he made himself lose guard, mercifully banging her with all his efforts without looking back. He release her lips and placed his mouth on Raina's succulent nipple, biting them and pinching as he continues to relentlessly thrust into her, his tip hitting her womb, "Ooohh, damn Dove!!!" He groans, sweating profusely. "Ouch! Ohh...baby...Jude...too sweet" Raina moaned out incoherent words as the ecstasy threatened to tear her apart. She wrapped her legs around his waist, her eyes rolling at the sweetness of his dick. She realized that she missed it more than she thought. Jude pulled out and tugged her on her knees while she held the bed frame for support when he thrust deep inside her from the back. Her head fell on the bed, honing her butt to him perfectly, his hands resting on her hip as he bangs he
Jude's hands were firmly around Raina's neck, he tilted her head and devoured her lips, sucking and licking in fervor. He ravaged her tongue and lips with sucks that made her squirm in ecstasy. He allowed her endearing taste to flow in his body, igniting a jerk in his manhood. She was too appetizing and he wasn't ready to let go. Raina flung her tiny hands around his neck, shifting to meet up with his pace of kissing. She moved one of her hands back to his cheek and the other one shoved into his soft hair, "Jude..." She mewled, her stomach churning as her core got drenched with aroused liquids. "You taste heavenly, Raina. Too tasty that I keep wondering if you were the same person I made love to years ago," Jude breathes and slowly withdraws his lips from hers for them to catch their breath. Their forehead slightly leaning against each other. He pecked her swollen lips, staring at her with extreme hunger in his eyes. "You are beautiful," he complimented and gently bit her nose
There was a threatening silence in the building. Jude's mouth hung open in astonishment as he gazed at Raina's reddened face. He could recall that most of the time, he was the one who sexually teased her even though her body had always responded to his touch. He wasn't expecting her to be so blunt with her words, at least not in a sexual aspect. He thought she was going to venture on pleading about how much she felt sorry for breaking his heart when she told him about her mission to set things right. "What..." He paused and smiled, looking at her in amusement. "Yes. It's what I want" Raina breathed, her eyes dripping with fondness as she stared at him. "Well...you are not getting that from me." Jude snapped. "What the hell is wrong with you?" he faked a creased brows like he was baffled. He ignored the warmth that spread through his body at her admission. At the same time, he didn't want her to think she could lure him effortlessly. "Is it so wrong to do it since I am not
Raina wasn't ready to sympathize with Gerold who was already on the verge of breaking down. Nurse Kathlyn stood with eyebrows furrowed in confusion while gazing between the two of them. Mrs Alexander's desperate tone when telling her to be selfish resounded in her head, "I'm sorry, but I can't do this anymore." Raina whispered, her voice shaking as she turned around and dashed out of the room. Gabrielle stood up from the hospital's waiting chair when she saw Raina rushing forward with a guard, "What's wrong?" She asked, her face disgruntled with worry as she scurried to meet with her best friend. Raina ceased running, her hand rubbing her chest to steady her breathing. "I have to go to the airport, Gabrielle. I need to tell Jude everything. I can't continue hiding like a coward while some vicious lady destroys his life. Even if we can't get back together, maybe he will finally be able to concentrate on himself after I patch the potholes." "But he is now engaged to Beatrice. It's t
"I don't seem to understand what you are trying to say, ma'am." Raina wiped her face and laughed nervously. "I guess I misinterpreted what you said because my sense of hearing is malfunctioning. I was quite disgruntled by yesterday's tragic announcement...God. Things are getting too complicated, please don't tell me it's what I am thinking, How did you..." She whimpered tiredly and nibbled on her lips. "You revealed everything when you were drunk." "Ohh! No" Raina pulled her hair in remorse. "Gerold's fear of losing his share from the inheritance his father bestowed him was my fear for Jude too. You see...it took several disputes before the Bellinghams accepted me and Alexander's marriage. They were against it. A complicated family with weird rules. You aren't strike dumb because you've not met them." Mrs Alexander coughed. Her calm tone of speaking made Raina feel relaxed as she strained her ears to listen attentively. "Alexander's father married three wives because he was fr
"He had died three years and a month after your wedding. I did more research and realized that he indulged in betting and drinking all night which had given a negative result to his health. Jude had invited him one day to ask about you as usual when he found him dead," Gabrielle's voice shook as she flung her arms around Raina who had stiffened from the shock. Gabrielle had purposely skipped saying that the main reason Raina's father had perished was because no one was there to seek assistance on his behalf when he collapsed in the building.Raina sucked in small breaths as she murmured incoherent words. "I killed him. I didn't stay to take care of him. What type of daughter am I?!" She shook in regret. Her lips were quivering badly. Gabrielle trembled at the mental consequences of an individual blaming himself for such matters. "No! You didn't kill him!" She bit her lips and arrests Raina as their cries resounded through the whole building. THE NEXT MORNING AT 'GRACIOUS CEMETRY'
Gabrielle left the weekend meeting she was in and drove very rapidly on her way to the restaurant. Her heart was beating with fear as she mulled over what could have pushed Raina to call while sounding so miserable."Ooh! There you are" She breathes in relief at the sight of Raina's car. She hurriedly alighted from her own car after parking at one side. Gabrielle scurried like a cat chasing its prey towards Raina's car, "What happened? Open the door" Her eyebrows scrunched in worry as she knocked on the driver's window. Raina rashly opened the door, and burst out in another round of tears while her best friend hauled her in her arms, patting her back to comfort her "I'm tired!" Raina wailed in distress. "Release them. You got to cry when you need to." Gabrielle hugged her tightly. She was immersed in comforting her friend as she shut her eyes to stop the tears that were threatening to fall from her eyes too. The moment she opened them, her sights set on two kids who were shining th
