LUCIAN After a hectic day at the office and a boring family meeting, almost running a crazy looking woman over wasn't what I expected. She looked so unbothered after trying to get her filthy blood on my hands and it pissed me off. "Boss, she looks so much like the lady in that image," Cade informed me as I got back into the car and I paused to give it a thought. "She looks so haggard and quite different." I replied, quite skeptical. "Yes, But she still has a striking resemblance with the lady," He pressed on, glancing back at her. "Find out if she's the one. Keep an eye on her but don't scare her away," I instructed and leaned further against the seat. A wicked smile tugged at the corner of my lips. I couldn't wait to find out if she was actually the one. My urge to get my pound of flesh would finally be satiated. After a while, he insisted on wanting to get off the car and I asked Blake to stop. He stepped down and Blake zoomed off towards my mansion. I had barely gotten home w

ELSAThe blaring sound of the horn, coupled with the deafening sound of screeching tyres gave me goosebumps and I bawled my fist tightly and gnashed my teeth, awaiting death that never came.The sound ceased and my eyes still remained tightly shut till I heard the voice of a furious man. “If you badly want to die, get a vial of poison and down it in one shot. That way, you'll be responsible for your own death!” I opened my eyes and shot him a blank stare. He was dressed in a corporate suit and I scanned him from head to toe. His facial features were attractive and he seemed like Jason's type. Deceiving gullible ladies like myself with their innocent appearance.I sucked my teeth loudly and walked away from the scene, leaving him befuddled as he returned to his car and zoomed off. My gaze lingered on the car as he left and I gave up on trying to get run over by a car, knowing passers-by would come to my rescue. I kept walking aimlessly till it became dark. The number of people on the

ELSA I wiped the endless stream of tears that rolled down my cheeks as the taxi I boarded came to a halt before the grandiose gates of the Reins’ manor. I could only refer to it as “the Reins’ manor,” because I knew getting used to calling this place my home again would take a long while.I alighted from the car with nothing but the dress I was putting on, not even a bag or a cellphone. I glanced at the bandage around my arm and I was too ashamed to step closer to the gates. I leaned against the fence and burst into tears for the hundredth time.After crying for a while, I finally stepped closer to the gate. It required a passcode and I decided to try my luck. The last passcode was my year of birth and I entered it hopefully only to be downcast when it didn't open. The guards noticed my presence and led me into the compound. I walked sluggishly behind them with my head bowed. I was too ashamed to hold my head up, considering how I left here without a chase 4 years ago. As they led m

ElSA It was Sam the gardener. The atom of hope I had left shattered and I slumped back in bed.“Please, take care of her and let me know if there's a new development,” The doctor said to Sam as she exited the room with her nurses.“Please ma'am, take it easy on yourself.” He uttered in a soft and comforting tone but I felt no better.“Where's my husband?” I asked amidst sobs, hoping to hear something positive that'd make me feel better.He was hesitant to speak at first but finally spoke up. “He's at home ma'am,” He informed me and I bit hard on my lower lip, trying to hold back the tears till it bled profusely.“You're hurting yourself, ma'am. Everything will be fine,” He pressed on in a comforting tone but I couldn't care about hurting myself at the moment.“Is he aware of my situation? And what about Vivian, is she rotting behind bars?” I asked with fury etched on my face.“I informed him about your situation, I don't know why he's yet to arrive. About ma'am Vivian, I couldn't cal

ELSAI glanced at the clock on the wall, anxiously waiting for Jason’s return. It was past 4pm and he was yet to be back. I needed to break this good news to him because he deserved to know, even if he had been acting weird lately after letting his ex, Vivian live with us with claims of being stranded.The tales didn't add up on her arrival but I just decided to let her be for Jason's sake but it seemed like she had vowed not to let me live peacefully in my matrimonial home as she always stirred a ruckus at any given opportunity. I glanced at the test results I was holding and traced my finger across its edges nervously. In the past few days, I felt extremely dizzy, nauseous and tired. I visited the hospital and the doctor suggested a pregnancy test which turned out positive.A joyful smile sprawled on my lips as I rubbed my palm on my still flat stomach. The satisfaction of knowing I had a life growing inside of me gladdened my heart and I was overwhelmed. Today is supposed to be h
