Chapter 21: Temptations

Temptations KENYA POV I swirled the reddish contents of my second dose of the night in my flute while laughing softly at some joke Celine had just cracked. The atmosphere was serene: dim lights, soft chattering, the clanking of metal cutlery against the expensive Chinese crockery, and a good damn ol’ topic about making money. I was seated across from Luke and his lawyer, Rebecca, after having completed the signing of the Adaptation Contract of my books into a series. Everything else just came after a successful venture, and I was more than happy. “I never thought I would live to see the day. Don’t get me wrong…” Celine pats my back before taking a huge swig of her wine, then rubs my back in small circles. “I knew your story was banging, but I really didn’t think it would attract big shots like Luke Donovan.” She mentioned him as though he wasn’t seated right across from him. Leave it to Celine to gossip about someone while he was just right there next to her. The girl didn’t hav

Chapter 22: Temptations II

Temptations IILUKE POVTemptation smells like apples, roses wine! And it was seated inside my car.I cleared my throat before gripping the steering wheel, a futile attempt of calming myself the fuck down because if this continued, I would go back on my words and just…. I would do something out of character and live to regret it later. Kenya Brown was supposed to be a chip in my long-calculated revenge game. Yet she was slowly becoming something else entirely. Of course, like any other piece of shit holding a grudge and determined to ruin someone else's life, I did a little digging on her past and found out that she and Royal had a more than complicated relationship and that she was his wife before he left her for fame. And that they had a son whom Royal had no idea about his existence until a few weeks back. And yes, the plan was to use her and get a hold of that piece of crap. But now, I just didn't know anymore. There was something developing in my chest, and that somet

Chapter 23: Good Grief

Good Grief KENYA POV The days that followed next were pretty much a drag-on, and neither Luke nor I brought up the conversation about the business dinner night where we almost humped like dogs in heat right there against the floor in the VIP section. Whatever discussion we had edged along business and was mainly feedback from our teams about how the auditions would commence shortly after the screenplays were finished. You could have sworn that all of the heavy sexual tension was pretty much a hallucination and the only thing that remained as evidence of that night was the Manila envelope containing signed papers. Anna had been livid when she heard the news the next day, and the shameless her almost sent me right back into the arms of the man that made me think with my vagina and not my brain. "What harm will sleeping with him do? You haven't had sex since you got pregnant with Lucious. And that's forever ago." her words came tumbling to the front of my mind, and I died a little

Chapter 24: What in the…?

Chapter 24: What is the…?KENYA POV My eyes almost dropped to the ground like marbles as the Uber pulled behind a black Bentley Bentayga parked right outside our two-storey townhouse. What shook me wasn’t the Bentley, no! It was a whole Truck that carried a small sparkly brown, goldfish Bentley continental in front of it. I got out of the Uber and walk-ran to the front porch where Anna was sitting with her knees brought to her chest, her eyes snapped wide, and staring at the two vehicles.“I thought it was our Amazon delivery.” She called out as soon as I was in earshot, then stretched her hand out at me. I clasped it and yanked her to a standing position, then turned around and stared at the truck. The doors of the Bentley thudded closed, and two men finely dressed in blue suits came charging towards the house. “You couldn’t even let them into the house?” I whisper-yelled at Anna as we watched them walking gracefully towards her. One was carrying a clipboard and the other held a

Chapter 25: Peace

Chapter 25: Peace ROYAL POV I was livid. I didn’t think Luke Fucking Donovan would be so pathetic to stoop that low; and that he would actually want to go down that road. I seriously hoped that he was clever enough to think better for the future, or that maybe he was just blonde and as a matter of fact, had a head between those shoulders and a brain inside that bloody ball on top of his neck. Clearly, I was wrong, because he seemed to be the kind to let his emotions get the best of him There was no way the Trods thought of suing me if they weren't pushed and probed by him. No fucking way. They weren't smart to that extent. That fucker went to them, promised them of some weird shit that they would get if they took me to court. But on what grounds? Did they seriously think I would go down without a fight? “Daddy?” A small, smooth hand pat my cheek, and I shook my head clearing the nasty thoughts of murder and blood. Because I was slowly gravitating there. Luke wanted to play dirt

Chapter 26: Illicit Desires

Illicit Desires KENYA POV The sirens went off the first thing in the morning when I woke up and Anna insisted on taking care of every little thing around the house. From making breakfast, picking up Luc from Royal’s insanely house, packing their lunchboxes… Literally, everything I had no issue doing since I was neither bedridden nor pregnant. But no, baby girl insisted I take care of myself, soak in a tub of hot water with rose petals scattered all over the fluffy dreamy bubbles, and insisted on sending me to the saloon where she had already called in to schedule my appointment; then dragged me to the mall to get some skimpy outfit that took the entire day to find what she actually wanted, and down to the makeup artist who just left less than an hour ago. By six in the evening, I could not believe the woman who was staring back at me in the mirror. Her normally groovy hair was styled and gelled to perfection on my head, the face card looking exactly how any smitten girl would lo

Chapter 27: Illicit Desires II

Illicit Desires Part II EDEN POV I glanced around for a waiter-someone to save me from this predicament- only to be interrupted by his god-like voice. “Want a drink? You can always use my glass. I promise you I bathed well when I left.” He said already pouring some into his flute, and all the coherent thoughts fled right through the window! Whatever this man was doing, he must have cooked it in the kitchens of hell. Because it was hell-fire hot! I feigned a smile, took the flute, and then brought it to my lips. Still, his gaze followed every single step, so intensively I was surprised I didn’t choke on my drink. “So, the reason you were called out tonight…” I said and busied myself with the Bentley Key box since it was suddenly the most interesting thing in the world. "Thank you for your generosity, but I won't be accepting the car, Luke." My attention shifted to his good face since what I said was of great importance. What I did not expect was for him to maintain eye

Chapter 28: Beautiful Chaos

Beautiful Chaos LUKE POVI was demented!That was the only plausible explanation for the current situation. The only thing that seemed to make sense as to why I brought Kenya Brown to my condo. I never brought any lay to my fucking house. Not even once. Even in my drunken state, I never allowed myself to be blinded to the point where I brought a stranger to my house. There were hotels and Airbnb’s for that. Girls loved a fancy suite and room service after getting some good dick. And girls were not allowed anywhere near my property because they were fucking trouble! But here I was, with Kenya breathing right in my living room, while I was mindlessly watching the water drizzling from the faucet into the drinking glass and wondering what the fuck it was I thought I was doing. Kenya was a chip in my revenge game. Not anything else. So why the hell did my brain seem to not function whenever she stepped into the room? It's true that we had the chemistry stronger than none other I have e

Chapter 30: DAYDREAM

DAYDREAMKENYA POVThe following day came, and my stewing hatred continued simmering in my chest. My thoughts raced over a couple of things and how I would just unalive Royal without having to serve lifetime imprisonment. I just hated that every last one of the options ended with me in an orange suit. And as much as I looked pretty in some clothes - most of the clothes- the suit wasn’t one of those. Royal disrespected me in ways I never thought were possible, and I found myself awake at night wondering just what the hell went wrong with him. He was the opposite of that sweet man I met in college. That amazing soul who was full of this bright light that just livened up the room whenever he walked in.
