Almost Got Caught!

Samuel knew now that Linda was not the woman he spent almost the entire night with. Aside speaking with Jess and getting an eye-opener about it, his test proved everything. There was no feeling at all. There were no signs that Linda was the woman.Samuel clearly remembered that that night, as he had gone close to the woman, there had been something he had felt; something that he still hadn’t been able to put into words. “Are you a dying man?” she had whispered to him.Recalling the sound of her voice now, it sounded nothing like Linda Luscious. “Why hadn’t I thought of this from the outset?” Samuel berated himself.He felt like a complete mess.“Don’t ask me silly questions,” Samuel had barked at her, thinking she was the call girl that had been arranged for him.“I am sorry, I just wanted to know,” she had said.Although it had been dark, Samuel had known that she had tears in her eyes. All the few times Samuel had spent in the presence of Linda, she never came off as someone who wo

A Monster!

Ciara was glad that she came out when she did otherwise Kingston might have ratted her out. She was not even so sure that he still wouldn’t do so, but then again, she would have to do something about it. “What is it?” Samuel asked immediately they climbed up the stairs. “Is something wrong with my mother?” he asked gruffly. His tone had some form of suspicion to it, but Ciara had her own grievances as well.Her face was as straight as a ruler when she responded. “Your mother is fine,” she said icily. Ciara had been unable to shake off what she saw, which had basically ruined her chances of not only a reconciliation, but also getting to know what happened to her mother in full details.“Shouldn’t you be with her right now? Your duty is to be by her side all day long, Ciara. Have you forgotten that so soon?” Samuel queried. “And I have been doing my job just fine, Samuel,” Ciara answered confidently, staring up at Samuel.Samuel looked taken aback. He could not understand the reason f

More Confused

Samuel felt the sting of Ciara’s palm on his cheeks, but what even stung him more was the sound of her voice as she called him a monster.“How dare you?!” Ciara yelled as tears gathered in her eyes. “Is this your latest means of manipulation?” Ciara asked Samuel, looking right into his eyes.The anger and hurt in Ciara’s eyes were so glaring that Samuel did not need to look deeply before seeing it.“I am not a manipulator,” Samuel said calmly.There had been several occasions where being close to Ciara or even grabbing her had taken his mind back to that unfortunate night. Something about her just seemed to remind him so much about that night, unlike it was with Linda. Samuel had lived in regret after that night, and that was why he had refused to talk about it with anyone. By morning when he woke up, he discovered that she had already left; he did not even get to see her face, just to know who it was that he had spent an arranged night with, and few weeks later, Colt came to him and

More Worries For The Luscious

“It has been over two hours and she is yet to arrive,” Ruby Luscious said as she paced about the living room. Something did not feel right.“Are you sure you convinced her enough?” Colt asked, equally confused.“I did, and she promised that she would come. We all know that Ciara is not someone to just say something like that and not mean it. She wants to belong to a family so badly, and to her, this was her chance,” Ruby answered.“And it was our chance to get things sorted out once and for all,” Colt said as his eyes went to the fully set dining table and the bottle of wine on it. Every damn thing had been set, and all they needed was for Ciara to show up, because Colt kept having the nagging feeling that if Ciara wasn’t handled, she could spoil everything for them. From the moment he heard that she traveled to her hometown and was digging up the past, he knew that she would be so much trouble for them.Meanwhile, Linda could not stop thinking about Samuel’s abrupt and brief appearan

Shared Blackmail

Ciara stayed by Aunt Mary and cried painfully. Contrary to the agreement to always leave the door open, she shut it, so that no one would barge in on her. Ciara needed this moment to herself, and she knew that she also needed to be beside Aunt Mary.“Everything in my life is falling into shambles, Aunt Mary,” Ciara cried.She remembered that she told herself that she wouldn’t do any of the crying thing in the presence of Aunt Mary; she only required happy moments and talks filled with light and hope so that she could get better, but right now, Ciara felt like this was the only thing she could do. She needed to unburden everything, and she knew that the only person that she could do that with that would not judge her or throw stones at her was Aunt Mary. This was exactly why she needed to visit her mother’s grave so that she could unburden herself, but her search for her mother had only made everything worse than she had ever anticipated.“I feel like each day, something is always tryi

Change Of Plans

Linda dialed the number Rudger attached with the note several times, but it wasn’t connecting, and it felt as though she was going crazy. “Why did we fire him again?” Ruby asked as she rubbed her palms together; it was her way of dealing with anxiety.“After the incident, he just became nonchalant about his duties and he had to go,” Linda explained. She had instigated the whole idea of firing Rudge, because his negligence and nonchalance became overbearing; more like he kept acting as though he had an edge over Linda, simply because he was the bodyguard that aided her in carrying out the act.“Was firing him the best option?” Colt asked, beads of sweat forming around the bridge of his nose.“At that time, yes, and besides, he was handsomely paid off,” Linda said defensively. She remembered spending virtually all her savings just to lay him off with the promise that what happened never happened, and no one was ever going to know about it.“You cannot pay off a blackmailer completely!”

His Conditions

Ciara stood by Samuel’s door, breathing in and out to steady her nerves and struggling to convince herself that this was the absolute right thing to do. The call had unnerved her, surely, but it had triggered something inside of her.She knew that Linda had a bodyguard, but she had been serving jail term for a while, and when she came out of prison, a whole lot of things had happened in the last couple of weeks, so she did not even have the time to think about Linda’s bodyguard.If he said he had something to tell her that related to Ciara being thrown into jail, Ciara would love to hear it, because she was sure without a doubt that if there was anyone that would have an idea what happened, it might be Rudge, who worked really closely with Linda. Ciara knew that she shouldn’t be too trusting of anyone, especially someone who stopped working for Linda not too long after she was thrown into jail, but she was desperate. A lot of things in Ciara’s life were not adding up, and maybe if she

Deep

Ciara and Samuel sat in the study, facing each other. Ciara had a pale expression on her face and Samuel watched her intently, trying to figure out if she would tell him the actual truth. Samuel could not believe Ciara no matter how hard he wanted to, because she had lied to him several times, but this time around, he stared right into Ciara’s eyes, not wanting to miss any expression that her eyes would show.The paleness in her face was enough to tell him how difficult this must be to her.“Do you still want to talk about it?” Samuel asked Ciara. He was indirectly giving her an opportunity to bail out, instead of choosing to lie, because knowing Ciara Summers for weeks now, she would rather lie and manipulate her way through than telling the actual truth. Samuel knew that he was a conservative person; he preferred to keep things to himself than talk about it to people, but Ciara was an adamant secretive woman who could take secrets to the grave with her.“No, but I want the money, an

You Just missed Them!

“I cannot answer that,” Ciara said mournfully, and there was no amount of questioning, or conditions, or desperation that would make her divulge that until she was certain about everything.None of what was happening was clear to her now, and for Rudge to be calling her with such demands, it means that there was something the Luscious wasn’t telling her. First of all, she still hadn’t gotten to know where her mother was buried, because even though they only told her that it was in her hometown, they did not give her a precise location.And the fact that she kept missing out of what truly transpired meant there was more to it than meet the eyes. Until then, she would not divulge this secret to Samuel. Regardless of the rough start she had with the Luscious, and their hostility over the years she stayed with them, Ciara would still hate to drag them through her shit for nothing.Besides, she did find Samuel kissing Linda, and right now, Ciara was not certain whose side Samuel was on. He

Desperate Measure

Linda paced about her bedroom, almost running insane. She could not afford for Rudge to get to Ciara before she did, otherwise everything would be in shambles, and it seemed now that her parents might not be able to handle things as fast as needed.Some minutes ago, she and Ruby had waited anxiously to hear from Colt. According to the plan, or Ruby’s plan, they had given him a very deadly portion, one that worked only hours after intake, and had said that he would go over, act all nice and friendly, and slip it into Ciara’s drink.It was the best attempt that Ruby could come up with.At first, Colt had vehemently disagreed. “You are asking me to walk into Samuel Fury’s house and poison Ciara right there? How on earth am I ever supposed to be able to carry that out?!” “Stop being a chicken,” Ruby had reprimanded him. “Desperate times call for desperate measures, remember?” Ruby had tried to make him see reasons with her and be on the same page as her.“And do you think that would work
