Beatrice came out of the bathroom and didn't see Brandon in the room.She had changed into one of Brandon's bathrobe and a towel was tied around her hair. She sat on the bed and started thinking."I don't know if I am making the right choice right now, like seriously did I do the right thing forgiving him?Well, it wasn't his fault tho, it absolutely wasn't. I am afraid the person who framed me might do something bad now that we are back together, and also I am curious to know what Brandon's dad is hiding. I should probably call him"She searched around and didn't see her phone, that was when it dawned on her that she had forgotten it in Brandon's car."And where on earth is Brandon" She muttered and stood up.She walked to the door and held the handle, she was about opening it when it opened and Brandon walked in."Speak of the devil, here you are".Brandon smiled, he walked in

It's just that I can't stay here, I can't be with you,,,at least not now" She told him, the last part was muttered to herself, she could only hear it."But why? I already apologised, I know i was a dickhead but I have changed, I will do my best to make you and Trisha happy, just don't leave" He begged."Your dad, he...Actually he told me not to tell you this, but I think you should know. I overheard him talking to someone on the phone, he said..." She paused, she didn't think it was right to say it because she had made a promise not to tell anyone."He said what?" Brandon asked curiously."Nothing, afterall a promise is a promise. But you should be careful out there, and please take care of yourself. I don't want my daughter to become fatherless"."That

Now listen, I want you to do something for me... Whenever you are going anywhere with Mr Emerson, please always text me the address of where you are going to, especially if it deals with business meetings" He explained."May I ask the reason?"."I am afraid not"."Then I can't and won't. It's my job to protect him, not to share his location to people"."Are you going against my order?" Micheal frowned."Of course not, it's just that I can't. At least tell me a good reason, or go mee

CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL

CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL

"Do anyone have reasons why this couples shouldn't get married?" The priest had asked. The bride found the question not necessary because she was sure there was no one against their union, but surprisingly to her, three masked men harmed to the teeth stepped into the church and their presence alone sent shivers down the spines of everyone. "We are against this union." One of them said grumpily. "Who-who are you... And why-why are you against this union?" The priest managed to ask. "Because our boss can't stand his lady getting married to someone else" His reply left everyone dumfounded. ***** After moving out of the orphanage with her friends, Rebecca decided to start afresh and forget everything about her dark past, including everyone associated with it.

Chapter: Michael’s sin
Kira had her hands crossed under her chest as she walked around the control room, staring at each computer and surveillance. Standing beside her was Trent who was on a video call with Axel. Axel had told them about Danny and she pretended not to know who he was. She promised she would help him find him and she urged the team to get to work, meanwhile she was praying for them not to find anything. Trent moved the call from the phone to a bigger screen and she could see Rebecca seated next to Axel on the bed. Her brows raised but she was quick enough to masked her surprise, as they could also see her. She focused her gaze on Rebecca and they both stared quietly at each other through the screen. It was just a stare, but it had a meaning.“I found something.” One of the men handling the computer said. Kira turned immediately, forcing her breathing to stay steady. She leaned over the monitor and exhaled in relief when she saw the wrong man’s face pop up; someone older, unrelated,

Chapter: The culprit
Rebecca woke up feeling pains all over her body, but despite that, she still felt a wave of satisfaction. It was such an intense make out and the thoughts of it made a smile appear on her face. She sat upright, clutching the duvet tightly to her naked chest. She didn’t see Axel, so she assumed he would be in the bathroom or the living room. She stood from the bed, grabbed her clothes, put them on and walked to the bathroom. When she noticed the door was slightly opened, she realized he wasn’t in“Axel?” She called as she walked out of the room. Despite shouting his name around the whole lounge, she couldn’t find him. Her brows furrowed. “Where did he go to?” She muttered. She grabbed her phone from the bedside table and dialed his number. It rang for some time before the call ended, Axel didn’t pick. Her shoulders suddenly went tensed. She called his number again and it was answered this time around.“Where the fuck are you? What could be so important that you left with

For a moment, Axel didn’t move. Not because he didn’t want to, but because something inside him snapped so sharply he had to steady himself.Her words, “Claim me, I am yours.” replayed in his head. She had no idea what she was awakening in him.His jaw clenched. His grip on her waist tightened, fingers digging in just enough to make her breath quiver.“Becca.” He mumbled, but this time it wasn’t soft. It was a warning wrapped in want. A low, dangerous growl brushing her skin.She didn’t back away, instead, she stepped closer, her chest rising to meet his. Her heartbeat thundered loud enough for him to hear and he grabbed her waist with both hands, pulling her against him so suddenly that she gasped. He dipped his head to her neck, not kissing yet, just breathing her in, fighting the last shaky thread of restraint holding him back.“You don’t know what you’re asking for.” He whispered, voice dark, almost trembling.“I do.” Her fingers curled into the back of his shirt. “I want

Chapter: The confession
Her shoulders slumped upon hearing that. She shook her head, unable to believe what she just heard. She convinced herself that Axel was playing a prank on her, he just wanted to see her reaction. She stood from the bed. A deep frown spread across her face. “This is not the time to joke with me, Axel. We are discussing something serious here.” Axel scoffed loudly. “And what makes you think I’m joking? Do you think I’d willingly want to get married to Elsa even as a joke?” It was at that moment realization dawned on Rebecca. Axel wasn’t joking. She stumbled backwards, still trying to process the whole thing. Her heart was aching, and no matter how hard she tried to deny it, she couldn’t imagine Axel getting married to someone else. Who would take care of her? Who would call her Becca? Who would look at her with eyes filled of love? Who would make her feel like a queen? She would miss the feeling of being wanted.“I don’t get why you seem bothered. It’s a win for you, I won’

It had been more than three hours since they returned home, and Rebecca was in the bedroom, still trying to wrap her head around the incident. She still found it unbelievable that she almost lost her life within the blink of an eye. She wanted to be alone, and Axel didn’t bulge, he decided to stay in the sitting room, leaving her to get over it. Now that she knew she had lots of enemies, she couldn’t think of someone in particular. Could it be Eric? Could it be don Alessandro? Or Axel’s enemies trying to get at him by hurting her. She was confused. Whoever it was, she decided it was time to get rid of her enemies, once and for all. She picked up her phone and placed a call on Kira. Surprisingly, the call was answered immediately.“Hey.”“Are you okay? Axel told me what happened.” Kira’s voice was heard. She sighed. “Physically, yes. Mentally, no.”“I understand how you feel, Rebecca, I truly do. You just have to take a deep breath and pretend none of those happened today.”

As fast as he could, he pushed Rebecca out of the way and they both fell to the other side, hitting the ground hard. Rebecca’s eyes widened, her lips parted but there was no words coming out. Axel’s weight was on her, covering her from the bullet like a shield and when he stood up, he said in a rush,“Get to safety, I’ll go after him.” He glanced at the man who had just taken to his heels upon noticing he had been caught. Rebecca shook her head. She wanted to speak, but couldn’t. She was terrified. Someone had just tried to kill her, and if Axel didn’t act fast, she would have been dead by now. Understanding her state at that moment, Axel held her hand and led her away from the crowd that was already forming due to the incident. The people around were asking if they were okay, speaking French, but Rebecca didn’t say a word. It wasn’t just because she didn’t hear what they said, she was too flabbergasted to react. They got to where the car was parked and Axel opened the door

Her hands clenched at her sides, nails digging into her palms. She swallowed hard, forcing herself to stand tall despite the burning embarrassment. She wanted to walk away, but it would be labeled as a walk of shame. In as much as she wanted to escape the sharp glances of both brothers and the lingering weight of their presence, she wouldn’t give Hardin the satisfaction of thinking he’d humiliated her.“I thought as much.” She looked up at him and found him staring at her, but he looked away immediately. She followed his gaze and it rested on Oliver who stared back at her. His gaze calm and unreadable.“Got home extremely late, but I did sleep.” Oliver spared Hardin a stare before returning his gaze to Aurelia. “Did you sleep well, sister-in-law?” Aurelia chuckled dryly. She knew Oliver was trying to save her from the embarrassment, and she could pay a thousand dollars to replay the look on Hardin’s face.“Yes, thank you.” She replied with a light smile. “Linda and I will give

Chapter: The morning after
It was a bright morning and the sun was up, shining directly into Aurelia’s bedroom from the window. She was wide awake, her legs on the bed with her hands wrapped around it while she stared at the news being displayed on the TV. She’d been following up a fashion contest that would be held soon and the date for the application was promised to be announced soon enough. So every morning, she made sure to check.“Just let us know if it’s not going to hold anymore.” She hissed and switched off the TV, tossing the remote to the other side of the bed. The day had just begun and she had no idea what to do with it. She was tempted to visit her fashion store, but it was barely a day after her wedding. She found it odd to resume work immediately. She got out of the bed and sauntered towards the window, where she stood, watching outside. The compound was extremely big. The garage was located directly opposite her window and she could see the cars parked there. They were luxurious and

Chapter: A bride without peace
If someone had told Aurelia she would get bored at her own wedding, she wouldn’t have believed it. Her prayers finally got answered when the party ended and guests started leaving. She stood up instantly and hurried to where Wendy stood.“If I spend one more minute in this outfit I’m gonna collapse.” She grumbled, dragging her nails over her itchy lace sleeves.“You designed the dress, you should have known better.” Wendy rolled her eyes before focusing back on her phone. Aurelia scoffed. She looked around and found her parents discussing with her husband’s family. She had gotten to know them at the church after the matrimony.“That conversation seems like it’s going to last for an eternity. We should go home.” She said to Wendy. Wendy’s gaze shifted swiftly from her phone. “We? Home?” Before Aurelia could answer, she continued. “Do you realize you are now married?” Aurelia’s brows furrowed. “And?”“And you have to go home with your husband, you dumbass!” Wendy snapped.

Chapter: Trouble
The kiss wasn’t soft, it was a collision, deep and hungry, the kind that tasted like defiance. She melted against him before she could stop herself, every wall she’d built cracked beneath the force of it.Her chest rose and fell, her heartbeat thundered loud enough for him to hear.She’d been wanting this, not him, not anyone in particular, but this feeling. The weight of being wanted.For a moment, there was no noise from the street, no air between them, just heat, and the realization that she’d been starving for this. She reciprocated the kiss, giving back the same energy; hunger and urgency. He grabbed her legs, carried her up and placed her on the car bumper without breaking from the kiss. His hands fisted her hair and pulled it back, and she let out a moan in his mouth. His touch was hot and possessive and she surrendered to him without a shred of resistance. It was only a kiss but it felt so much illicit and dangerous. That moment, she didn’t think of her upcoming w

“I want you.” The words echoed in her head. She never for once thought she would entertain a stranger saying those words to her. If it was someone else, she would have pushed him off her and walked away. But it was the other way round, she wanted to be around him. His gaze moved down her body and despite being clothed in a short gown, she felt naked. Then he looked up at her. “You have amazing features.” He complimented.“I get that a lot.” She smiled proudly.“No, darling.” He tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. “It is different coming from me.” “Why?” She asked curiously. He didn’t reply to that. He just stared at her, thinking of how those eyes of hers would stare at him when he’s deep inside her. He had somewhere to be. His associates were waiting for him, but then he chose to stay and play with a girl he knew nothing about. He found her intriguing and those curves of hers popping out from her short gown was worth his time. And those thighs of hers? They were

He asked if I knew where you were.” Her brows furrowed. She found his words unbelievable. “Why would he ask you?

They had been training for about an hour and it wasn’t even a light training. She had to lift heavy weights, do squats and lots more. It had been a week since the gym instructor arrived in California and started his session with her, and she couldn’t tell if there was a difference. Harry wasn’t home, he went for a business trip three days ago and she didn’t even feel his absence, maybe because they rarely talk while he was at home.“If you continue this way, it will be hard for you to lose weight quickly.” The gym instructor lamented. He was a forty five years old man, but he looked way too younger than his age.
