No Sign Of Him

“You make an absolutely stunning bride,” came the patronizing voice of Linda’s stylist.Linda stood in front of her full length mirror, draped in a flamboyant and overflowing wedding dress. Today was the day she was to be wed to Samuel Fury as his wife, and she felt more agitated than enchanted. She was even more worried about the text she got from Hayes several minutes ago.It was a miracle that they were even able to put everything together in less than twenty-four hours, and in all, they still hadn’t heard from Samuel Fury at all, the supposed groom.“Do you know where my parents are?” Linda asked.The Luscious’s mansion was buzzing and thriving with all sorts of vendors, as it had been since the day before, so she wasn’t sure where her parents were. The feeling of agitation and dread prevented Linda from even feeling beautiful in the expensive dress. “I…I am not sure where they might be,” the stylist stuttered a little; she was probably shocked that Linda Luscious was not acting

Ticking Clock

“Should I just take this all off?” Linda asked, referring to the wedding dress that now seemed horrible to her, and struggling to keep the tears that gathered in her eyes from falling.“Definitely not!” Ruby answered firmly. “We have already put a whole lot of things in place. The paparazzi we have secretly paid and invited are already there, remember?” Ruby asked, looking at Colt and Linda.They knew that Samuel’s insistence on something small and private was so that the world would not know about it. If not that Ciara had gotten herself into trouble and public scandal, no one would have known that she was Samuel’s wife, and that was the same trick Samuel wanted to use on Linda.“You are a Luscious, and we would not sit by and watch any man treat you less,” Ruby had told Linda firmly when they had revealed to her that they had paid for secret paparazzi to capture the event and post everything online.They would surprise Samuel Fury in a way that he would not like, and that would caus

No, I Don't

The clock ticked, and everyone waited with bated breath, especially the Luscious family. Linda had her eyes glued to the clock as it struck ten minutes.“Five more minutes, and if he doesn’t show up, I call it off. You all have already stretched me to my limit today,” the priest said grumpily.Linda could not take her eyes off the clock as it ticked forward, not stopping to wait a bit.“Samuel, I know you don’t like me, and I don’t love you either, but please, can you show up and save me from this embarrassment?” Linda begged inwardly and crying inside as well. It took every ounce in her to stop the tears from gathering in her eyes. “Please, Samuel,” Linda said.“Just two minutes more!” The loud and aggressive sound of the priest made Linda jump, but she was quick to comport herself, especially when her parents stood rock still.She knew deep down that they were also anxious, agitated, apprehensive, and every other emotion that kept them on the edge, but they were a better actor tha

Breaking News

Ciara could not help but wonder what made Samuel run out of the penthouse in such a rush. After he read what he read on the phone, he screamed, rushed into his bedroom, got dressed haphazardly, and dashed out of the house without saying a word to Ciara.“What could be going on?” Ciara asked, worried. She knew she wanted to be alone, to gather her thoughts together, but what could mark Samuel run out like that? She initially thought he was going to stay in the penthouse with her with the way he was going.Worried, Ciara dialed Quinton’s number; she was the only one that would tell her what was going on, even though they hadn’t spoken since the last time.Thankfully, this time around, Quinton picked.“Hello?” Quinton still sounded shaky and wary over the phone, making Ciara more worried.“Quinton, it’s Ciara,” Ciara said, feeling the need to introduce herself, because she could not understand this new attitude of Quinton after days of being her ally without even being asked.“I know it

Slave And Princess

Ciara’s heart began to pound furiously. Samuel has married Linda. Samuel has married Linda. Samuel has married Linda.It was as though she would pass out from what she was seeing. Granted, Ciara knew that Samuel was to marry Linda, and secondly, whatever happened between her and Samuel was based on arrangement and devotion to his mother. There was no love; not even likeness. In fact, they could barely stand each other, so she really shouldn’t be feeling this way, but Ciara could neither help nor control her feelings.“So he rushed out of the penthouse to meet up with the wedding ceremony,” Ciara thought to herself. Now she understood why even Quinton was acting weird with her. She also knew, and maybe now, her loyalty had shifted to Linda, and that was why she refused to tell her things. For as far as Ciara could tell, Linda had probably already moved in. Besides, she already caught Samuel So why did Samuel bring her here? If he knew he was getting married to Linda, why did he acce

Her Life Is Over

“This cannot be happening!” Linda sobbed. “It’s all over the news now!” She cried harder.The same paparazzi that her parents had secretly hired had been the ones who published the news, even after being told to stop filming. By the time Linda got herself after being rejected, the news was all over the place. “My goodness, I was dumped at the altar!” She covered her face with her hands and cried. Her make up was smeared. She was hysterical. This was the most disgraceful thing that Linda had ever experienced. If Samuel hadn’t shown up, it would have been better, because they could have just put up a silly excuse as to why he didn’t, but now, Linda was the entire laughingstock of the country. Even pictures and videos of her fainting after Samuel said no and walked out was all over the news.Linda hid in her room and cried bitterly. She could not even bring herself to face anyone, not even her parents.Her phone rang, and Linda was surprised to see that it was Rudge that was calling he

Harsh Confrontations

Ciara heard the penthouse front door opening at the dead of the night.She jolted up and grabbed the gun. It was a good thing that she had the gun within reach.“Who could be breaking into the penthouse?” Ciara asked herself.She tiptoed out of her room and hid behind the curtains as the footsteps proceeded into the living room.Then Ciara, without looking, aimed her gun and fired.“What the heck!” Samuel yelled in shock.Alarmed by her mistake, Ciara switched on the lights and rushed out of her hiding place. She saw that Samuel had flown on one of the couches. “Oh my gosh, did I hurt you?” Ciara asked, looking for where the bullet might have hit Samuel.“Get off me!” Samuel said and pushed Ciara far away from him. Ciara was still worried. From her position, she tried to look at Samuel to check for signs of blood, but she wasn’t seeing any. Then she looked around the living room and saw the bullet beside the door. She sighed in relief; thank goodness that she hadn’t mistakenly shot

Who Is She?

“Let me take the call,” Samuel said firmly, stretching his hand to collect the phone from Ciara. “Let me handle it.”Ciara would have given the phone to Samuel to “handle” it like he said, but she could still vividly recall what happened the last time she had allowed Samuel to handle her business with Rudge. If he was calling again, it meant something, and for all Ciara knew, she could still have a shot at getting to know what truly happened that fateful day.“No,” Ciara said firmly also.“What?” Samuel seemed amazed by Ciara’s firm rejection. Although why he was surprised, Ciara could not tell. He should be used to her constantly doing the exact opposite of what he wanted her to do by now.“I am not letting you handle this, Samuel,” Ciara stated.The phone was still ringing.“For all you know, Ciara, this guy could just want to get money from you! He is a blackmailer without the real information you desperately want, and this is what they do,” Samuel tried to make Ciara see reasons,

Make Her Pay

Lori got up from bed, feeling deep pains in her lower back. She groaned in pain, but she was not about to give up. She had been bedridden ever since Ciara left their cabin, and she was sick of it. In fact, she was beginning to get sore just being there.It was a difficult attempt, but Lori struggled and got out of bed. Then she staggered and made her way to the living room. She kept groaning in excruciating pain, and when she was finally able to get to a seat, she sat down, but then again, she could not even sigh in relief, because sitting down was causing her more pain than she anticipated.The door opened and Martin entered, holding a sack of potatoes. The moment he saw Lori sitting down, he dropped the sack and ran over to her, as the potatoes spilled out of the bag and ran in different directions.“Hey, how did you get out here?” Martin said, deeply worried.He knelt in front of Lori, held her hand and watched her closely. It did not take long for Martin to realize that Lori was i

Sob Story Time

There was a deafening silence after Ciara said Linda Luscious.Samuel felt as though he was hearing differently. Yes, he knew that he suspected something was off, but he had no idea, and now, he was even more confused.“Linda Luscious?” Samuel asked, wanting to be certain he was hearing rightly.“You asked who Rudge was referring to when he said ‘she’, right?” Ciara asked.Now, they were both seated on Ciara’s bed, quietly. It was the first time they would be having a conversation in this manner. All the times they had a conversation, they had always been talking in high tones, and throwing unpleasant words to each other.“Was she the same person the previous time when Rudge had contacted you and struck a deal? Samuel asked calmly. He could not even bring himself to shout. In fact, he was even struggling to ask questions that were not silly, because while they talked and he listened to Ciara, he was still trying to clear out his confusion.“Yes,” Ciara answered soberly.“How on earth d
