From Dust to Ashes: A scorned Bride /Peters

PROLOGUEOnce, I’ve heard someone saying that you know it’s cold when you see a lawyer with his hands in his own pockets. It’s colder than that now. My mouth is numb and every breath is like ice.People are shouting and pointing torch lights in my eyes. In the meantime, I hugged this big wood like I’d die if I ever let go.A guy with a really loud voice and garlic breath panted in my ear. He was very strong and tried to ease my grip on the wood. I was too cold to move.He wrapped his arm around my chest and pulled me backwards through the water. More people that I couldn’t see, took hold of my arms, lifting me to the deck.Darkness surrounded me, thick and endless. “My goodness, look at her stomach!” someone shouted.“She's been shot in three different places!’Who were they talking about?People were shouting all over again, yelling for bandages and plasma. Then I felt someone slide a needle into my arm and put a bag over my face.“someone get me blankets. We have to keep her warm.”

Chapter 1

From Dust to Ashes: A scorned Bride /Peters

Camilla. My hands trembled as I stared at the white sheet of paper in front of me. I’ve always heard this saying, that life is not a bed of roses, but now I understand exactly what it means. Until recently, my life was a bed of roses, but now all those roses have withered away, leaving me with only thorns.Dr. Mark’s voice echoed in my ears, confirming what I was scared to admit. “Camilla, I am so happy to announce that you’re going to be a mother. Congratulations dear.”Instantly I felt my entire body go numb, my heart was racing. This isn’t real. It can’t be. I am sure there’s a mistake somewhere.“What are you talking about?” I said, almost laughing at his statement. I just wanted to believe this was a prank and he was trying to pull my legs. I threw the paper onto his desk immediately, waiting for him to correct his mistake. “This cannot be my result. I would give you a few minutes to go back in there and bring my result.”Dr. Mike looked at me patiently, like he had seen this re

Chapter 2

From Dust to Ashes: A scorned Bride /Peters

CHAPTER 2Camilla.I stood outside the hospital, staring at the sliding glass doors. I was still trying to figure out what will become of me now, all thanks to my weakness of trusting so easily, I am now in this crossroad with no idea of the right pathway to follow.I swipe at the tears threatening to cloud my vision. What was the reason for crying? It was all my doing! First, I was stupid enough to trust them so blindly, and then I also went ahead to take a foolish decision of sleeping with a stranger just to get over the worst shock of my life. Maybe I could just abort the baby and go ahead with my initial plan of getting back everything they took from me. Alexander grey was definitely not the man to give a fuck about a child from a woman he had a one night stand with. I already knew how everything would go if I confronted him about this child. I would be like a tiny ant beneath his feet, waiting to be crushed by him at any time.He wouldn’t even look at me, he was every woman’s dr

Chapter 3

From Dust to Ashes: A scorned Bride /Peters

Camilla. “Get the hell out of my company! You’re fired!”Those were the first words that I heard the moment I stepped foot in Grey’s office. I was shocked. That was by far no way an angel will talk. Wait a minute, did I miss something? At the end of the hallway is a massive double door, slightly ajar. I approached cautiously, I needed to be sure whose voice I just heard a few seconds ago.“I don’t care how long you have worked here!” a deep voice boomed again. “You spill coffee on me, you’re done. I don’t tolerate incompetence!”I froze, peeking through the crack in the door. Grey stood behind a sleek black desk, with so much anger on his face. A man in his mid-thirties stood before him, head bowed, mumbling apologies.“I’m sorry, sir. It was an accident—”Grey cut him off with a sharp gesture and slammed his fist against his desk, and instantly the man flinched. “Accidents cost money. Get out of my office. You’re fired.” My heart pounded as I glanced back into the office. What t
