“You’re staring again.”Cassius looked up from where he stood near the balcony doors, whiskey glass resting loosely in his hand. “I’m allowed to stare at my wife.”Annelise smiled from the vanity mirror while Jasmine struggled dramatically behind her with the long satin ribbons of the wedding robe.“You’re not my husband yet,” Anne corrected.Cassius’s gaze darkened lazily. “Give me an hour.”Jasmine gagged loudly. “Can you two please remember there are innocent people in this room?”“There are no innocent people in this room,” Yvette replied from the couch without looking up from her phone.“I am not innocent,” Kelsey added while fixing the bracelet around Anne’s wrist.The bridal suite dissolved into soft laughter.Morning sunlight spilled through the enormous windows overlooking the vineyard estate, stretching across cream carpets, makeup palettes, champagne glasses and scattered garment bags. Outside, workers moved around the ceremony setup with quiet urgency while violin music fl

Crystal chandeliers cast soft gold across the restaurant, reflecting against polished wine glasses and silver cutlery arranged too perfectly on the table. The atmosphere around them should have felt elegant, romantic even, but tension sat heavily between the three people seated there, poisoning the expensive air.Annelise regretted choosing such a quiet restaurant.Every movement sounded louder, every glance felt like dagger.Even the waitress approaching their table looked nervous before she spoke. “Would you like me to explain tonight’s specials?”Cassius lifted his eyes toward her, there was no threat in his gaze, he had no intention to seem hostile, yet the woman immediately stiffened beneath the cold authority in his expression.“There’s no need for that,” Cassius replied calmly.The waitress nodded too quickly. “Of course, Sir.”She hurried away after taking their orders, almost relieved to escape.Anne exhaled quietly and reached for her glass of water.Across from her, John Mo

“Wait, hold on,” Yvette said, dropping her cup of coffee on the table. “You mean your mysterious boyfriend is actually here? In San Francisco?”Anne nodded from across the table, trying not to laugh at the way all three girls stared at her like she had confessed to hiding a second life. Which, in a way, she had.The café was crowded with the late afternoon brunch rush, voices blending together beneath soft jazz music playing from hidden speakers. The scent of syrup, coffee beans and toasted bread filled the air while sunlight streamed through the large glass windows overlooking the busy street outside.Kelsey leaned forward first. “And you’re calm? Just casually dropping that information while eating pancakes?”“I’m not calm,” Anne admitted with a smile. “I’m trying to be.”Jasmine narrowed her eyes thoughtfully. “Is this the same boyfriend Beau accidentally exposed at the wedding?”Anne groaned softly and covered part of her face. “Can we please retire that moment already?”“No,” Yve

The room was quiet except for the soft rise and fall of their breathing, the kind of silence that only exists after everything had already been said with the body instead of words.Anne lay on her side for a while, her fingers tracing idle patterns against Cassius’ chest while the city lights outside the window flickered faintly across the walls of the Airbnb. The sheets were tangled around their legs, warmth still clinging to their skin in a way that made the rest of the world feel distant.Cassius shifted first, pulling her closer as if trying to live under her skin.Then, as if neither of them could help it, they kissed again, savoring the tastes of their lips, softly, making up for lost times, leaving their marks on each other.When they finally broke apart, Anne sat up slowly and adjusted the sheets around her waist. Cassius followed her movement without hesitation, sitting up beside her and leaning back against the headboard. For a few seconds, neither of them spoke. The kind of

Morning sunlight poured through the thin hostel curtains, falling across Anne’s bed in long pale streaks that made sleep impossible no matter how tightly she shut her eyes.She had barely slept anyway. Every time she drifted off, she saw his face… Cassius Vale.Standing beneath the chandelier lights with that calm expression that always made it seem like the world bent itself around him naturally.She still could not process how he had found her.Or why her body reacted to him so quickly after months apart.Anne rolled onto her back staring blankly at the ceiling while Jasmine shuffled around the room searching for a clean hoodie.“You look horrible,” Jasmine muttered.“Thank you.”Anne groaned quietly and buried half her face into the pillow.Her phone buzzed beside her on the table, she deliberately ignored it, it buzzed again and again.Jasmine glanced over. “Who’s blowing up your phone by this time of the day? Must be important, pick it up Anne.”Anne grabbed it lazily and on seei

Champagne glasses clinked beneath crystal chandeliers while a string quartet played near the center fountain, their music flowing softly through the grand hall without drowning the hum of conversations. Gold drapes hung from the tall walls of the gallery, candlelights flickered across every table, and masked faces moved elegantly beneath the warm amber glow like a scene pulled from an old European film.The masquerade theme had transformed the art gallery into something almost unrecognizable.Anne stood near the far end of the room with a glass of wine resting between her fingers, her black satin gown hugging her body in a way that made her feel overdressed and underprepared at the same time. The gown dipped at the back, exposing smooth skin beneath her curls which Jasmine had spent almost an hour styling earlier that evening.Her silver mask sat neatly over her eyes, delicate gemstones glimmering whenever the lights caught them.She still could not believe how many people had attende

After a whole day spending my time at the Cafe and helping Jae serve the customers I went back home feeling kinda angry and still embarrassed, I couldn't wait to unleash all my anger the next time I meet Edde.How dare him do such a thing to me without my consent!?I walked into my compound as I made to open my door when I felt a presence behind me. I could see the person's manly shadow on the wall as my breath hitched. I hesitated to turn as I tried ignoring the person and opened my door.I felt the person's hand slowly snake around my waist as his scent assaulted my nose, I immediately knew who it was without looking. How did he know my house?

"I-i'm Pregnant" Sadie uttered as my eyes widened, dumbfounded at the unexpected news. I turned to Edde and he also had that same look on his face.I felt my heart break into a million pieces as I blinked back the tears that threatened to escape my eyes."I really should get going, Thanks for today Edde" I uttered in a painful smile which I guessed Edde noticed."Come on Elizabeth, it's not what you think… What do you mean you're pregnant Sadie?" Edde snapped at Sadie as he held my hand stopping me from leaving.

I turned off the faucet of the running shower as I slid off my former towel from the hanger and wrapped it around my body. I sighed as I stepped out of the jacuzzi and opened the bathroom door just to see Edde standing by the entrance with his body resting on the wall. I looked down at his body to notice his huge manly chest and tight abdominal muscles, he had a boxer shorts on which sorta outlined his very lengthy di*k.I snapped out of my lustful thoughts as I stared back at his face and walked past him."Why are you standing by the entrance like that? Were you peeping at me?" I glared as he scoffed and walked towards me."I miss showering with

I have been Sleeping for what seemed like hours and I could feel my body on a very soft comfortable surface but I didn't want to open my eyes on remembering that I could still be with Ken in that dreadful space that triggered my claustrophobia.I shot my eyes tightly as I could feel tears rolling down the two corners of my eyes, my heart was filled with grief and rage for Edde. He is supposed to be here with Ken and not me.I could feel my heartbeat increased and air far from my nostrils as I tried to gasp for breath, I wasn't getting enough air as needed and that's because of my claustrophobia but I still refused to open my eyes with the fear that Ken might notice my consciousness and th

I held my head tightly as I winced in deep pain, my head hurts so badly that I felt like dipping it into a bag of ice. I slowly opened my eyes as the brightness coming from the LED light almost blinded me."Ouch!" I creaked in distress as I used my hand to wedge the light."You finally woke up Elizabeth" the very familiar voice uttered and cackled cockily, making me bring down my hand to get a view of his face."Ken!?" I exclaimed in shock as he scoffed indifferently dipping his hands into his pockets with that cocky smirk on his lip. "What's going on? Why are you doing this?" I uttered almost in a whisper as tears threatened to escape my eye sockets."Well well well Elizabeth, I don't have nothing to discuss with you all I need is Edde Loxley's attention and you're just a bait to get him to oblige to my demands" Ken snorted as he snickered mockingly. "So all you have to do is cooperate with me and you won't get harmed" he said as I gnitched my teeth with rage and made to stand up j

"I miss you so much Betta" Edde whined as I almost choked at the sudden speech and the seriousness in his eyes. I totally wanted to say that back to him but that would be cliché.I shrugged indifferently as I gently placed sleeping Grey on his arms and grabbed my bag. "That doesn't sound necessary, go back to Sadie… I think I should leave now" I uttered with a half hearted smile as I tapped softly on Grey and found my way out.Leaving them both behind was totally like living my ribs behind, I was already feeling lonely and my eyes were tearing up. Why was Edde Acting so concerned and into me like he never sent me away in the first place? I hate to say it but I so much still miss him and wanted him so badly.All through the meeting with Grey all I could think of was me in his arms as he cuddles me to sleep and I inhale his juicy smell. Grey totally looks fine with his Dad and probably Miss Brooke if Edde or Sadie haven't called off her services.I had thought Grey would forget me as

PAISLEY'S POV "Have safe sex! Don't get Pregnant!" Those were my fathers words to me before I got into the plane that flew me to Mexico. It's been 7 months since I got pregnant and it's been so difficult to call my parents and tell them about it. My parents would call once in a while to check up on me but I just never had the courage to tell them about my pregnancy. I feel like they would be disappointed, but I can’t hide it forever. It's better now than when I have birthed my child. I'm not a kid anyways and I didn't get pregnant randomly. I did it with my mate and got pregnant, they should understand. I sighed and grabbed my phone from the table. I tightened my grip on it as I tried finding the courage to make the call. Just as I was about to unlock my phone, my mothers call came in. My heart clutched in fear and sudden shock. I swallowed hard as I swiped to the answer icon. "Hey... Mom, I was actually about to call you before your call came in." I uttered, still in shock and

KILLIAN’S POV“How many creatures have you killed?” She asked, I looked at her face trying to read her thoughts through it. Her mind was blank and her face held no emotion, it was almost like she didn’t care about the number of people I have killed but just wanted to know. “Uhm, Just a few. My guards do most of the dirty work.” I replied truthfully. “How many, Killian?” She repeated as I sighed. “A hundred... plus.” I answered breathlessly, expecting the worst response from her but instead. I got a loud tired yawn. “Come to bed, Killian. I feel sleepy and I need a gentle belly massage for me to sleep peacefully.” She requested in-between another yawn as I obliged like a puppet to give her the massage. ***Hours were bypassed as I watched her sleep like she didn’t have a single problem on earth, she made light snoring noises that I have never heard from her before... I guess it came with the pregnancy. A lot changed about her these past few months, she glowed differently. Her ski

PAISLEYS POVI felt butterflies in my belly and I was so sure that my baby could feel it. Not having Killian around all these while was really draining, even though I lie to myself that I do not miss him. I know for sure that he does bad things, but... he is my mate at the end of the day, and I can’t run away forever. Fate must surely bring us back together. We laughed hard for no reason as we sat on the couch, looking at the ceiling. I still couldn’t believe that I was back with Killian... maybe, not fully back, but... at least we are back in the same space. I turned my head slightly, looking at Killian with a lot running through my mind. He never lets his beards grow out, he loves clean shaves but now. Killian’s Beards are slightly overgrown, his hair too. In a trice, Killian turned to me, and our eyes locked. I was so thrilled by his beautiful eyes that I didn’t even blink. A smile slowly formed on his lips as I felt his palm lock on mine.Goodness! I miss this feeling. “You l

PAISLEYS POV"What do you want, Killian Wesley?" I asked exhaustively as I rested by the door staring at him and his manly glories. I can never deny the fact that his presence still does things to me. He smiled softly as he stepped back a little. "How are you and my baby doing, My love?" He asked, still having a bright smile on his lips. "Killian, what do you want from me? Why are you here without invitation? I thought I made it clear to you that you are not needed around here?" I urged as he scoffed, still having a smile on his lips. "I bought my unborn child some gifts that I'm sure you haven't gotten yet, am I wrong for doing that? I mean..." he tried completing his statement and I immediately cut him short, angrily. "Fuck yes, Killian. You are super wrong, I can get my child whatever it is they need. I fucking do not need your help, Killian. And you will take all your gifts back home." "Paisley, I do not want to get pissed with you. You know how much hatred I have for being i

KILLIAN'S POVMy eyes were focused on my phone screen searching for beginner baby needs, I wanted to surprise Paisley. I knew for sure that she wouldn't want my gifts but I wanted to give her my best to convince her that I am not dangerous and would never harm her or the baby. I am not an animal but she clearly sees me as a wild one. "Killian, I know that you're not doing business with your phone, so what exactly has you engrossed in your phone for this long?" Mason asked as I ignored him and continued with my little research, Mason tsk'd and shook his head as he turned back to the soccer game he was watching. I had seen some baby items that were recommended for starters and I quickly started adding them to my list.My guards and I would be going on a baby shopping for the first time. I couldn't wait to see Paisley's reaction but I was scared that she was going to reject my gifts. That would break me..."How was your meeting with Paisley, I forgot to ask." Mason suddenly spoke up

PAISLEYS POV "Finally, I found you." He said with a proud smirk as he walked forward to me. "Paisley, My sweet love..." he smiled as he looked at my belly, I felt an adrenaline rush through my body as my throat dried nervously. "Ki...Killian, how did you find me?" I stuttered as he smiled, dipping his hands into his pockets. I felt betrayed, I couldn't believe that Mason couldn't keep himself from revealing my hiding place from Killian after he had promised. "My Love, you can never run forever. I have been looking for you and... oh, I know what you might be thinking. Mason didn't tell me anything about your little space, he was just so dumb to come here at the time he came. I stalked him." He uttered proudly as I bit my lower lip in disgust. I never wanted this day to come, meeting Killian again was never part of my plans. Maybe I knew that I would see him again but just not so soon and with my huge belly and swollen face. "Hmm... Paisley, you have really got a lot of nerv

Lady Ann rushed into Pearls room as she has been hearing the disturbing cries of the baby, seeing the puzzle in Pearl and the king's eyes she hurried towards them taking the baby from Pearl seeing the baby's sudden change of color her heart ached the baby's crying voice was growing louder by seconds and she understood the pains the little girl was going through."Lady Ann, you have cared for babies before and I am sure you understand wherever my baby is going through right now, please tell me so that we can find a solution immediately. I can't watch my few hours old baby crying more than an adult would!" Pearl said in a pleading voice as tears streamed down her cheeks."Pearl she will be fine once the doctor comes, she has a heart problem but don't panic she will be fine" Ann assured as she caressed the baby warmly.Pearl fell on her bed devastated by her baby's situation as tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably "isn't she just too young for all these…" She whispered calmly as K

I was roughly handled out of my room, walking through the hallway I sighted King Archer at the corner addressing some guards he turned to me but didn't react in any way.Their grip was just so hard that I felt unbearable pain, getting outside of the castle they threw me roughly to the ground as the crowd gasped… Yes, the People of Guham came to witness my ritual and I could see pity in the eyes of most of them.I sat on the floor weakly as tears streamed down my cheeks, I was scared of whatever task they would give to me because their approach wasn't peaceful at all."Before we begin the ritual we would like to plead to the queen to endure whatever task she would be given, this is a peaceful ritual and every one of us has gone through it so please do not see it as punishment" one of them said which I didn't react to knowing how weak I was already."The King has the right to stop us from performing the ritual with the Queen" The queen with pixie blonde hair said as I followed her eye t

It's been three months after the death of Zinnia and Fox and the 8th month of my pregnancy, my pregnancy was almost due and I was getting more stress from it every passing day, my mood swings became worse to the extent that King Archer stays with me at least seven hours per day, My hunger for weird food became even worse I was gaining much weight and having lots of stretch marks around my belly and my laps, I noticed that King Archer no longer tries to get close to me that much because of his hatred for stretch marks.I sat at my balcony as the cold refreshing breeze blew my hair around. I had tried my very best to calm and free my mind from stress and Lady Ann and her son's helped me with that.I and Lady Ann became closer each passing day and her son's became free with me to the extent that they spend more time with me than their mother.Lady Ann was so fast in moving on and forgetting her loving husband and I admired her for that knowing that I won't recover quickly if anything hap

"Archer, you're not serious right now?" I asked as tears already smudged my view."Well, yes I am not serious" He said bluntly as he smirked on seeing the tears in my eyes."You look so annoying when you cry…"Even if he has a slut with him I do not have a say over it, he is King by the way."You should stop joking in such a manner" I said in a smile wiping off my tears."Hence you ain't coming to my room with me good night then" he said turning towards the hallway exit, I was lucky that my room was in same hallway with Lady Ann which means that I don't have to stress myself walking down the stairs "just bare in mind that you are going to be occupying Zinnia's room from tomorrow" He announced as I signed deeply.Now he wants me closer to him, this time I won't be able to avoid him at all and I will be far from my new friend Lady Ann.**I batted my lashes steadily from the brightness that shone to my face and the noises I heard around me as I opened my eyes to see the maids takin

I stared at her with distaste and a frown that I couldn't hide as two teenage boys came down from the second chariot which made me even more surprised.What's going on here! Who is this Lady and why is she here with her kids? Does King Archer have a family that no one knows about?"Yes, Pearl meet Lady Ann She is my elder brothers wife" He announced as my eyes shone in shock, I never thought of Prince Ray's family all these while "And here are her son's Charlie and Liam" King Archer said pulling them into his arms, they where indeed handsome and I could see Prince Ray in them, They look alot like him!I was so dumbfounded as I turned to the smiling face of the Lady, I suddenly felt bad for giving her such a long face even before she was introduced.Her wrinkled eye bags were so red and slightly swollen which shows that she has cried a lot, she must have been through a lot lately."Hello Queen Pearl, nice meeting you, I have heard lots of amazing things about you and I must say I am ho

Days past turning into weeks and King Archer wasn't still back, I had waited for him but still no signs of him coming back.I fought all negative thoughts and didn't want to believe that he was in any form of trouble as I lay on the bed with my eyes focused on the ceiling and my ears listening to all the advice from the midwife, I must say… Ever since a midwife was appointed to me the pregnancy process has been quite easy with the exercises she made me do and all.Most importantly the cravings were now better cared for."My Queen, I'm done here for today, I will see you tomorrow" The midwife said, lifting her fat body from the couch as she bowed and headed out as I turned to Sage who stared at me with a smile on her lips."So my Queen, I made this special lemonade for you and I am sure you will love it after tasting it" she said as she made to the glass jug on the table pouring some contents out of it into a fragile glass cup.My attention wasn't exactly on the lemonade she was about
