The meeting was forever adjourned. What was the point of continuing when I had just been fired? No one dared walk into my office after that. I wrecked my hand through my hair for the millionth time. I just knew this was not the only punishment I would receive, I knew Storm had more in store for me and I couldn’t help but pale. Too many problems found their way to me and soon I could not process any of them. I was stuck and I didn’t know how to pull myself out. The scene played over and over in my head, thinking of the war I had nearly brought to life. Why had my father threatened war from my disappearance?I never thought it would all get so messy yet there was no way I would have gone home Friday night after everything I went through, after seeing Storm with that woman. Leaving had been the best option for me yet, still, I clawed at myself for all the chaos it had erupted. A knock came at my door, snapping me from the document I had been reading for the past hour. This was my la

Hi guys. While we wait for our next chapter you can check out ‘Forced Mafia Brides’ by Tema G.M (me). It has the same concept when it comes to the arranged marriage but it’s more darker. The male character lead is very rough around the edges. The female lead is willing to fight this unwanted marriage as best as she could, very vocal, and strong willed. The book is spicy. Unconventional sexual content. Please read the trigger warnings. Love you all. Tema G.M

BRANDY’S P.O.V.I woke up to a sponge bath the nurses were giving me yet even with them done I still smelt like smoke, still felt dirty in many places that they had not dared touch but could I blame them, I wouldn’t either if I was them.There was no joy. There was no sadness. There were no tears. I was just an echo of what once was. All I did was blink, lying there to rot as life went on without me. Sleep soon took me away after a few hours of blinking and even my dreams were vacant of life. Even in my dreams death clung to me, dark vacant space where I couldn’t even scream.Pain shot through my body immensely and I embraced it because it was a relief to feel something after being numb for so long yet the pain soon turned gut wrenching.  

“I have not been in this room in years. My son had the audacity to ban me from his room, in my own house!” A distant voice came as my eyes peeled open. I turned my head, a lot of light pouring in through the window. “This has to go, we have to do it before he arrives.” It was the best sleep I have had since forever. I blinked, feeling so comfortable, so warm. “Look at these curtains. It’s a crime. Come on, call Cole, he needs to get here soon.” If only I could close my eyes again and just drift away but as I tried, it was clear sleep had left me. I peeled my eyes again, seeing the large white ceiling. The room smelt so good and a familiar scent clung to my nostrils. It was in the sheets. I looked down, seeing a large grey duvet that I wanted to snuggle in forever. It felt as if it was massaging my whole body. I was in awe. No longer did I smell of smoke. I felt clean, proper clean.“Where am I?” “Oohh dea

BRANDY’S P.O.V.“So, is she the one with the dogs?” Even though we began watching this together, I was the one that kept explaining. “Yes, she is the one with the many dogs.” I said back. “You don't like dogs?” I shook my head.“Good, me too.” My mother-in-law said. In a week she had transformed the bedroom into one Storm would throw a fit over. With the rain pouring, Elizabeth’s friends canceled their brunch appointment which was why she now sat beside my bed, watching the housewives with me on my laptop.
