Genius Face

Michaela Ferguson had tears streaming on her face and she had blood in the corner of her lips. She shook her head and replied, “It wasn’t me. When I arrived at Shalom shopping mall, your mistress was already injured.” Her husband, Thorne Ferguson didn’t believe her and said, “Pray that Paula will not die because should she die, I will bury you and your family alive.” Then he pushed her hard, and Michaela staggered and fell to the ground. Michaela was in a sorry state. She cursed the day she first met Thorne Ferguson. She had been nothing but a good wife to him. However, her husband had been cold and cruel towards her. Her heart was overwhelmed with bitterness. Thorne looked at his wife with icy-cold eyes and said sternly, “I will never forgive you for touching the love of my life. Paula is my bottom line. I will make sure that you get a life sentence. Please pray hard for her not to die, because should she die I don’t know what I will do to you and your family.”

“And what you tried today,” I winced in pain as he held my nape from behind before turning me around. I peered up at him in fear while he stared down at me with his intimidating eyes. His eyes were thundering. Leaning down further, he made my pulse rise. Being so close to him— a man, no less, I could see the clear spec of blackness inside his dark eyes. They were so raw and so dark and so piercing. “I would suggest you not try it again,” he added, his bottomless brooding eyes burned into mine, “because no matter how hard you are going to try, you are never going to get out of here without my permission. Away from my sight,” he vowed in a menacing tone that had no expression at all. “Don't get your hopes high.” Tears split down my eyes while he studied my face. “You like escaping. Don't you?” He explained to me in a condescending tone. “Let's see how you are going to try now with my eyes on you— all the time." “You can try all you want, but you can never break my spirits!” I looked at him, directly in his eyes without blinking. His eyes were still focussed on my face as he slowly stepped around me. “Do you mean it?” His voice was strangely soft, “Maybe I cannot. But.. ” Adding to his intimidating aura. Shaur. “No.. ” I whispered. “I can break him.” His gaze met mine in an instant. “You seem to have forgotten your own mental capacity of understanding certain situations. Let me refresh it for you.” His eyes seemed to burn holes at me. “I'd rather not get blood on your dress.” WARNING: This book contains strong language, dubious situations, deception issues, manipulations, abduction and dark romance.

The fifth year of my marriage to Silas marked a turning point I would never forget. Our son, Yael, was kidnapped. The ransom was set at ten million dollars, an insignificant amount for Silas, yet his response chilled me to the core. “No rush. A Gardner needs to experience some hardships to grow.” Ten million meant nothing to him, but Yael’s life meant everything to me. I dropped to my knees, tears streaming down my face, and begged him relentlessly, pleading for Yael to be brought home as soon as possible. Silas, however, remained unmoved. Three days later, Yael was returned to us, but the cheerful boy I knew was gone. He had been so traumatized that he could not speak. Far from showing concern, Silas coldly remarked, “Yuna said Yael keeps telling everyone at school she’s a fatherless child. Let’s see how he spreads lies now.” His words cut through me like a knife. I picked Yael up in my arms and whispered softly in his ear, “Don’t be afraid, Yael. Mommy will take you away from here.”

Andai kamu tahu, aku adalah orang paling bodoh setelah bertemu dengan kamu. Entah sudah berapa ratus kali aku bertemu seseorang, namun nyatanya kamu adalah orang yang tetap aku inginkan. Saat pertama kali aku bertemu denganmu, dan saat itu aku berharap bahwa diriku bisa bersanding denganmu dan mengenalmu dengan lebih baik, dalam hatiku aku berdoa semoga kelak aku yang akan memenangkan dirimu dan mendampingimu hidup diantara orang-orang yang berdiri di sampingmu sekarang. Maafkan aku juga yang telah lancang meminjam namamu atas doaku. Sebuah nama yang menjadi pengulangan atas do’a dan sujudku, entah seberapa hebat dirimu sampai bisa memenangkan hatiku dari sekian banyak manusia dimuka bumi ini, daya tarik apa yang kamu punya sehingga namamu saja kuperjuangkan di hadapan tuhanku yang menjadi candu. Untuk nama yang selalu menjadi pengulangan atas do’a dan ibadahku. Aku berharap ada balasan atas perihal tentang hatiku dan perasaanku kepadamu. Aku sudah tidak mengerti lagi bagaimana caraku merayu semesta agar aku bisa bersamamu, entah sekuat apa pintu hatimu, sampai kamu tidak bisa mendengar sedikit pun ketukan dariku, apakah kamu tuli sampai kamu tidak mendengar jeritan yang selalu menyebut namamu. Entah sampai kapan aku akan menjadi orang yang gigih untuk tetap memperjuangkanmu, sedangkan hujan yang berpetir pun sudah meremehkanku, lihatlah dengan sombongnya iya pamer bahwa langit yang beberapa saat hujan badai kini menampilkan pelangi yang indah untuk, dipamerkan kepada siapa pun yang melihatnya, seolah berkata ia telah berdamai dari waktu kelamnya. Lantas bagaimana dengan diriku yang sampai saat ini masih terombang-ambing badai kehidupan namun tidak kunjung mereda, Sedangkan badai itu sendiri semakin hari semakin kuat untuk membuatku terjatuh. Jikalau aku bisa meminta aku ingin berhenti dan istirahat sejenak, tidak mungkin kalau aku akan baik-baik saja saat ini. Entah berapa ribu luka lagi yang harus aku tutupi, dan seberapa kuat lagi aku bisa bangun setelah ribuan kali jatuh.

My name is Ivy Lawson. At 3:00 am, I get a call from Christina McSpire, a parent of one of my students. "Hello, Ms. Lawson, I noticed Zoe only spent five dollars on her meal yesterday. Did she not eat any meat?" she asks. Pushing through my exhaustion, I reply, "Don't worry, Mrs. Street. I'll check on it tomorrow." Another half hour goes by, and she calls again. "It's supposed to rain tomorrow. Can you remind Zoe to bring an umbrella?" I can hardly keep my eyes open. "Got it," I reply absentmindedly. A few minutes later, my phone rings once more. "Please make sure Zoe brushes her teeth for three minutes. It's also important that she scrubs each side of her face at least three times." Suppressing my frustration, I calmly respond, "Zoe is in her senior year of high school. I'm sure she's capable of taking care of herself." I expect that to be the end of it, but when I wake up, my silenced phone shows over a hundred missed calls.
