All Chapters of Illicit Desires: Billionaire’s Second Chance: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

ApocalypseKENYA POVGosh it hurts.It hurts so fucking much.I thought to myself as I clutched my stomach in a tight grip and groaned as the muscles of my now empty stomach jerked up and kicked whatever that was remaining of food in my stomach. The sound of my best friend gagging into the phone speaker had me chuckling after I had thrown up a fair share into the toilet, then dropped to the floor and wiped my puke-smeared mouth before groaning out loud.“Seriously girl, you need to get up and go to the doctor. That’s one hell of food poisoning you got there.” She accused into the speaker, and I breathed slowly through my nostrils as I searched for the discarded phone on the floor with my left hand.“Only if you tell me why the hell you are gagging that side.” I countered dryly, feeling so drained all I wanted was to curl up in a ball and just sleep.I was so tired. So spent.“You’ve been throwing up for the past three hours. That’s so damn unhealthy and yes, I could smell all that pu

New BeginningsKENYA POVA few days passed, and I continued wallowing in the pits of hell with pain being the highlight of my every waking moment. Nothing I did seemed to be bringing me solace or consolation I very much needed after that long crusade through hell, and each day the seed in my womb continued growing. Knowing of its existence, knowing that I was carrying a piece of me and Royal inside of me did not help at all. The fact alone was a double-edged sword, and it pierced through me so hard that I couldn’t breathe.There was a point in my life where my whole life revolved around that man, and every grail of my soul knew I would move mountains for him.Had I known how I would fall from grace and crush onto the ground into countless smithereens, I would not have been such a fool and believed true love and happily ever after existed.Or maybe they did, but I was not cut out for that.But through it all, gratitude simmered on low with Anna as she remained stoic and unmoving by my

Chapter 6. NostalgiaKENYA POVThe following morning came to with an empty house. A horrifying sense of Deja Vu raked over my whole body with cold fingers when I woke up staring at the ceiling of my past... It felt like I had just gotten into the wheel of time, and I was back to five years ago before things turned sour and unholy!My room was exactly how I left it; a white ceiling, cream walls, a matching carpet, and cream bed sheets. Everything was just as minimal as it had been 4 years ago, and I hated how the whole place seemed to be untouched by the hands of the clock. Even the stuffed toys I left on the floor were still there, yet the place was as neat as it could get. There was no doubt Anna kept it clean, waiting for me to lick my wounds and finally come back home.I hopped off the bed, took a small tour around the house, and let the forgotten memories wash over me like a Summer waterfall. My fingers grazed the walls, touched the shiny surfaces of our townhouse, sniffed the pil

Chapter 4: A WALK DOWN THE MEMORY LANEKENYA POVMy heart failed to function as I stared at Ivory; platinum blonde hair, a body for models, and a smile prettier than the sunset. She looked exactly the way she did. Beautiful, as though she had taken a drink of the water from the Fountain of Youth."It's really you" With a glee for days, she jumped at me and pulled me in a bear hug. I stood there frozen for a minute before I could master the courage to hug her back. "Hi!" my voice was soft, weakened by the sight of my former sister-in-law who seemed to be more than excited to see me. After a short while, she pulled back to take a good look at me. Surprise solidified when I saw tears running down her porcelain, unblemished face."How could you leave without saying anything to me?" she angrily wiped the tears before swatting my arm."Oh my God, I am so mad at you." A mixture of a sob and a chuckle fell from her lips before she threw herself at me once again, knocking the air from out of

Bad LuckKENYA POV"You people need to hurry. I got some business to take care of and don't have all day, you know?." I yelled from the entry hallway slipping into my black converses. Anna responded with a yell “coming” before the sound of her hurried footsteps thudded across the corridor. She came spilling down the stairs with Lucious pinned on her hip, her unruly hair pulled in a messy bun on top of her head. She handed Luc to me and shimmied out of her slippers into comfortable trainers. I opened the front door and took a step out the door."I seriously don't understand why you insist on donuts and ice cream this late," I called out stopping to glare over my shoulder at her. “Well, because donuts are yummy?” She huffed before straightening up, then grinned at me. I scoffed at her and shook my head before walking out the door. She stayed behind for a moment to lock the door, then hurried to match her strides with me.“We could simply order them in if you want them that bad. Besides
