Chapter: CHAPTER 320
HUDSON'S POV“Our new guest has arrived!” The nurse gushed, pushing its wheels just beside Val. Where I had been occupying before now.“Awww, how precious!” Nanny Beth cooed softly, moving to towards it. Everyone doing so too, all except me. I just stood by the side, smiling as everyone got a view of our fairy.As if feeling everyone’s gaze, our baby stirred in her bundle. Her soft cooing’s filling the air, and getting several rounds of awwn from both Val and Nanny Beth. The rest just smiled, especially the men. James and Henry, whose eyes were already brimming with unshed tears.And as for the kids, “Is that… is that our baby sister, mommy?” Miley’s soft voice reached my ears, “Is that my baby sister?”“She’s so small,” Aby joined, her big eyes twinkling as the baby was lifted out of the crib and gently placed in Val’s arms.“And so shining,”“And pink!” Miley and Miles whispered at once, both of them lost in awe of the small being now brought directly in front of their eyes.“A tiny

HUDSON’S POV“The kids are safe! And so is Nanny Beth” I assured Val, trying to explain.“We had taken two cars, remember? We took two cars, mine and your Papa’s, because you couldn’t sit at the front due to pregnancy and we couldn’t all fit at the back seat with the kids. Me, you, your Papa, James and Nanny Beth all at the same time.”“Oh,” was all that left her lips, the memory coming back to her as she slowly relaxed back down on the bed. I didn’t want her moving or doing anything after everything she just went through from both the labor and with pushing out the baby.“We didn’t leave them, we just arrived here earlier than they did.” I continued, easing her down. “They will be here soon don’t worry. I just texted James the address.”She just nodded in response, her eyes looking a bit drowsy as she laid on the bed. “Is it okay if she sleeps? She looks really tired,” I asked a nurse, the only one still present.Apparently, she stayed back to keep watch and ensure Val’s vitals were

VALERIE’S POVSIX MONTHS LATER“Wah... what’s happening?”“Why isn’t the car moving anymore? Hudson!!” I screamed out his name, my breath both labored and unstable as I literally tried to hold onto anything for support. Anything at all, as long it could elevate the searing pain that seemed to tear through me at every 30 seconds.Just then, the car door flung open, presenting a very alarmed looking Hudson. “Val!” He cried out, slightly panicky at first to see me sprawled out on the back seat as I was unable to sit still anymore. “Val… love, we’re here. We’re here at the hospital; you will be fine. You will be totally fine!”“Oh God…” I moaned painfully as another wave of contraction hit me, not even letting me register the help Hudson’s hands wanted to give to me right now. Forcing me to slap him away as I cried out in pains. All I felt was pain, everything hurt!Every damned thing, and the more I stayed breathless on these back seats the crazier I became with pain. “Oh God, Huds…Hudson

HUDSON’S POV“I’m pregnant, Hudson!” her words echoed in my ears, my mind not believing it as I stood there watching her calmly reach the living room without me.Pregnant.Did she- did she just say she was pregnant?Like pregnant, we are having a baby pregnant?“Oh my God,” I found myself muttering, a smile slowly making its way to my lips as she winked at me from her spot on the couch. “Oh my… OH MY GOD!”At my outburst she chuckled, covering her lips to hide her smiles.I didn’t even realize when I started hurrying towards her, my steps literally the fastest i had been. Like ever!And when I reached her on the couch, I just tackled her to a hug. Uncontrollable laughter leaving my lips as I turned her over that she was on my chest. Her elated chuckles filling the air, matching mine, honey brown waves cascading all over us. Longer than I even remembered but I wouldn’t have it any other way.Something else was far more important. Way more important! We were having a baby! An actual baby

THE GLASS WIFE; the storm he built himself

THE GLASS WIFE; the storm he built himself

Have you ever lived a life that looked perfect—but felt like nothing? Felt yourself slipping away every day… yet still couldn’t call that life your own? Well, Serena Beckett has. The perfect daughter. The perfect wife. Invisible in her own story. Born into a wealth she was never allowed to claim. Married into a life she didn’t choose, but ended up loving endlessly as she thought she could finally have a thing of her own. Until the night her husband walks in with a stranger… and divorce papers. That night, something breaks in her. And something far stronger takes its place. Serena doesn’t crumble. She doesn’t leave. Not until she decides who she really is—beyond the Beckett name, beyond the lies, beyond the mask she’s worn for far too long. Is she the girl her family tried to tame? The wife Eliot thought he could throw away? Or someone neither of them ever saw coming? And when Eliot finally sees her… Will it be too late?

SERENA'S POV "Are you kidding right now? You're going on a trip together? Together??""No, we're not. The team is going on a trip.""What's the difference? He's going to be there, and so are you!""But we're not going together. The team is!" I bellowed, totally exasperated at this point. "Oh my God, Axel. Just please." "You please," he argued, stopping at a traffic light. "First you keep going over there, and now a trip? Are you trying me you don't see this is all arranged? That he isn't doing all of these on purpose, Rena?? C'mon!"Eliot did admit it.He admitted to planning it all. For us he said. I hadn't even gotten a chance to internalize any of that yet. We hadn't reached home. My home.God I hated arguing with Axel.Hated it so much.Unlike Eliot where I could have a leverage over him, shut him up somehow, and walk out, I couldn't do that with Axel. It was different with him. The tables had turned. Somehow I had shifted from being the victim, to being the one in the wrong.Hi

SERENA'S POV Couple of minutes later after that, we headed out. Me to Ward Syndicate building and Axel back to his office. He'd taken a long break to come see me, and promised to pick me up as well.Which was fine because we would have dinner. We've been doing that a lot recently and as surprising as it may seem, I loved it.Insane delicious food + Axel explaining his experience outside the country when he attempted a cooking profession, I don't see why I won't love dinner.Other than that, it felt good. Warm, to have someone to share the night with not just having sex.Even if I wouldn't the sex.Frankly, if I was being honest. I wanted to check It out. I mean, I should. Maybe that way I'd see it's even better and permanently have no need to be thinking back at someone else.My package would be complete.Make sense, right?I probably sound like a slut right now, right?Yup. I do. Time to concentrate, concentrate Serena.I blinked my eyes, forcing stop all stupid thoughts and focusin

SERENA'S POV "You've been going there a lot lately. Shouldn't these visits be limited to calls? Video calls maybe?""They can't," I said, biting down on the pin in my mouth, between my lips. My hands on the mannequin in front of me, the fabric there. "We've signed the contract, yes. But they're also things I need to know to properly be on board with the team. I can't just let them do everything and not know what they're doing.""And what is wrong with that?" He retorted, "What is wrong with them doing everything and you nothing?"What?I paused right then, releasing a breath as I faced him fully. "Is there a problem here, Axel? Is something wrong because you've been acting real bossy towards me and I don't like that. I know what I'm doing, I'm not a child."He sighed, "I just don't want you going over there every time. Meeting him.""I'm not going there to meet Eliot.""But you do meet him. Don't you?"I opened my mouth to refute that, say I had no interest in seeing him and this wa

ELIOT'S POV "We will." I said in response, quick. Cause did she think I was going to let some dumb ass handle or be in such close contact with her as a team lead? I was the leader of this team. Her team.And I would make sure everything as regards to her goes on without a hinge.No offence but no team lead will be contacting my wife for whatever reason. I already had one bastard to deal with, needed no more.The meeting went on after that, rounding up. A few more pointers, re-evaluation of all that'd been talked about, everyone was dispersed. My feet rising and moving before I could think twice. The door to the conference room opened, she stepped out, and so did I. Our movements in sync. The staff behind us, murmuring. Whispering, but I could hardly care what it was about. My eyes were fixed on her. On her hair. The long, smooth black mass rooted in her scalp and falling back down to her waist. That same waist I remembered holding unto as she unraveled on top of my face. Twisting

SERENA'S POV "How was today? You liked it?" I blinked. Frozen as his voice reached my ears. Deep. Smooth. Feeling surprisingly close. So close. Too close, I could feel my nipples pushing through my bra from effect. Erect. Like they'd been called to life by just his voice. Didn't need a prophecy to know that spending more time in this elevator wouldn't lead to anything good. At least not the kind suitable for an office environment. But then again, I'd wondered what it would be like. To come here. To see him, in his office. Get pinned to his desk. The same desk that he'd spent several nights over working his ass away and leaving me cold at the house! On our matrimonial bed. I'd wondered what it would be like to have him work on me too. To get pushed on the smooth crystal clear glass, my ass sliding clean with the juices already dripping. Him throwing off stuff, attention completely on me. I'd wondered what it would be like. And right now, looking at him...what was stopping me?

SERENA'S POV Axel was right. The contract did hold some unbelievable benefits if I took it.Other than the obvious visibility, I'd also get to partner with several local and international brands. That stage alone made my desire for a solo runway even more believable to my own ears.I could pull it off with that kind of network. I mean sure I'd have to really upgrade my current production process and labour. But it just meant more speed was needed to be put in for the getting an official building thing.I needed to get a place. Launch the collections I had in mind and make complete and absolute use of the opportunity been delivered unto my lap.But of course, I did pause to wonder what he was to gain from all of these. Eliot.I wasn't stupid. Not one bit. He wasn't the kind of man to do things without benefiting anything. A lethal schemer. He went along with a scheme directly against his wife just because it aligned with his set goals, didn't he?He would gain as much as he was giving

CHOKEHOLD; Trapped By My Ex

CHOKEHOLD; Trapped By My Ex

He ruined me once. And now he’s back to finish the job—I can feel it. Else how do you explain this? The one man I should never see again is everywhere. In my head. In my bed when I close my eyes. In the wet dreams that leave me aching for the man who ghosted me after four years. That isn’t normal. Nothing about this is normal. People run from danger. They run from pain. But me? It feels like I’m running straight toward it. Or worse—like it’s running toward me. Roman Ward. The bane of my existence. And God help me… the only man I can’t escape.

ROMAN'S POV A person never really changes, take it or leave it. If you think I'm wrong, then you'll learn the hard way.Take this annoying character for example. Alina.She'd been trying so hard to be different lately.Trying so hard to change, act different, take on a new behaviour different from who she actually is. She wanted to pretend she was all good and buff, but guess what?Her old self still remains.Her old cunning, deceiving, defensive, cowardly yet explosive self still remained the same! Vibrant and unimpressingly so.She tried to be just calm. Be that soft, feminine woman, elegantly going about her business, but her true self just won't budge. Her lips would be speaking peace, but her eyes would be spitting fire all at the same time! Leaving her so frustrated and ready to bite my head off. Especially tonight.It was quite the amusement to be honest. Her behaviour so far has been very amusing and laughable. But there was nothing amusing about those words she said."Fallin

ALINA'S POV He grinned. Eyes twirling with playful mischievousness, totally contrasting his overall male aura. And well...job.I didn't see it before, but Mark was a real chatterbox underneath everything. While he smiled happily, I was sitting in utter confusion and displeasure for literally everything at this point. "How do you know how many drinks I've had?" I asked, "This is the official staff bar, Angel. We keep tabs on everyone here, all of which made possible by the collar you're wearing. Your movements, emotions, blood and pressure level is all recorded in real time by that tiny Insignia. So every time you drank, it caught the sizzling of the drink and counted as a glass. Adding up on the pad over there."My mouth fell open. Eyes fixed on the said pad, just right beside the control board thingy. And there it stood;Alina - 19"Oh God," I moaned silently, "I'm going to be sick. You're telling me every time that I've been mad today, this stupid collar thing has been recording

ALINA'S POV I moved to another floor then. Another hallway. The Eden Suites this time— the romantic fantasy suites. I was previously at the Inferno floor, the “fetish wing.” Reason why everything was so dark and raw. With nowhere to sit!Eden Suites was different. Smelt different, plus I could properly see what was ahead of me. The Control board most importantly. It was the first thing I looked for. Before I ordered the drinks that is.Lots of it."Bring it all out!" I ordered, ready and brewing with hot annoyance. My rage cooking slow. "He wants to blacklist me from a wing? Control what I do?" I grabbed two glasses, "Well good luck with that!"I threw them back immediately. Eyes squeezing shut as I swallowed. The burn. "More!" I still let out, gasping. Breath short as I pushed it all back down. Wanting some more.The bartender gave me a look on the third refill, his stare questioning but he let me be after spotting my automatic pass. The gold insignia. And I gobbled down those shots

ALINA'S POV The following day came fast. It was a double shift day today.First, I had to come in during the day to Oxygen and then at night. I called it a double shift, because you know... It is double.Anyways, I started off my day as usual. Praise to the heavens, there were no serious corrections from my dear boss the day before, so I got off early after his inspection, then got to rest. Hence, leaving me in better spirits as I resumed the next morning. Today.Although I didn't encounter Roman during the day— my first shift, I sure did at night time. The encounter and everyone after that, completely depleting what was left of my high spirits in the morning.“Do you ever move?” His voice came behind me. Hot, sudden, and so very irritated amidst all the bodies around here; skin, leather, lace, thong, you name it. "Do you ever properly announce yourself?” I said in retort, blinking as I steadied my heartbeat. Trying not to show how startled I was by his voice. I didn't turn around

ALINA'S POV What was he here for now? To oppress me some more again? Tell me what a clueless creative consultant I am and he wasn't sure I should get paid at all? What else, Roman? I didn't turn. At least not at first. But how could I not acknowledge the presence of my 'dearest boss' who came to pay me a visit down here in the still unfinished Seraph wing? That wouldn't be right. So I turned, slowly, leather ropes boxes scattered at my feet, furry cuffs hanging like promises from half-assembled fuck-swings dangling from the ceiling… The atmosphere dark, cloaked in dust and potential that was yet to emerge. A red-light strip barely alive. And then there he was. Roman Ward. Standing beside the bondage frame like he owned every breath in the room. Jacket off. Sleeves rolled. Veins on his forearm thick like his pride. His dark hair in its usual style, eyes out of sight. Fixed on the St. Andrew’s cross he was examining. His fingers trailing the leather restraints — clinical

ALINA'S POV "Are you a thief, Roman?" His chest rose sharply. Green eyes lit up in fury. A dark, dangerous scoff punched out of him as he took one step forward, completely invading every inch of space I had left. “Say that again,” he said, voice low, gravel scraping at the edges. "I dare you to say it," “I said,” I breathed, steady, chin lifted stubbornly. “You steal my ideas. That makes you a thief. Are you a thief, Roman?" His tongue pressed against the inside of his cheek — anger and something hotter flickering behind his eyes. His jaw flexed so hard it could crack marble. “You’re out of your damn mind if you think I need to steal anything from you.” “Really?” I shot back, “Because you repeated my words in the meeting, changed two adjectives, and suddenly it became your idea.” “That was me correcting you.” “No,” I countered, equally firm, “that was you panicking because you didn’t expect me to handle my job so well. That’s the one thing your ego doesn’t know ho
