  • BEHIND THE MASK (DARK ROMANCE)   BETRAYING MY HUSBAND

    The fourth night blurred into the fifth, and then, suddenly, I was back in my clothes, standing outside like nothing had happened. My phone buzzed with James’s messages, but I felt nothing.He had finally filed for divorce. Good for him.That afternoon a driver came to fetch me. James had “reported” me to his parents. I almost laughed; the man who’d been running around impregnating strangers was suddenly the victim, reminding me that this was a man's world. I went anyway, wanting to see the performance and what his parents had to say.Their house smelled of money and old perfume. James’s mother sat stiff and regal, pearls at her throat, a look of polite disgust in her eyes. His father didn’t bother hiding his contempt. James lounged in a corner like the wronged saint he was pretending to be.“Mariam,” his mother began, voices slightly raised the moment I entered. “Mother, I hope you're doing okay,” I greeted her, which she ignored. “We think it’s time you stopped this… behavior.” Jam

  • BEHIND THE MASK (DARK ROMANCE)   BOUNDED BY MY BLACKMAILER

    I woke up the next day not knowing what it held for me. My marriage was on the verge of collapsing; the perfect life was an illusion. How would I even tell my family? By the time I was finally single, now my sexuality was to be questioned too.James has left the house today. I was going to check the building James gave me and start furnishing my apartment; it felt like a dream to me.When you arrived at the villa, it was so fine and lovely an elderly woman was already cleaning, and some workers kept on whispering things. “Madam looks so fine, yet she can't keep a man,” one said. “Didn't you hear he took another lady to the hospital, and she seems pregnant for him?” the other one added.“Hmmmm…” I coughed; hearing my voice, they all looked frightened. “So what were you saying? Continue,” I said. “Sorry, Ma,” they apologized. I hissed and walked away. I was going to drive every one of them when the villa had been put in order.On my way back, just then, my car stopped, making me panic

  • BEHIND THE MASK (DARK ROMANCE)   LOST IN PLEASURE

    I told myself the dating profile was just for revenge. A petty swipe at James.But now, every night, I found myself staring at my phone, waiting for him to write.His username was common, nothing flashy like the men in my life that were all about control. Ping, it was a text from this username again.Caden_88: You look like a woman who knows what she wants.I texted back, “What makes you think I'll give it to you?” Caden_88: Because I would rather not own you. I want to see who you really are.Every word from him felt like a hook sliding deeper. He didn’t ask for nudes. He asked about my childhood, my first heartbreak, and my favorite smell. He made me feel seen in a way James never did.I typed with trembling fingers, “Why do you sound like you already know me?”No reply.James stirred beside me, asleep, oblivious. I rolled onto my back, staring at the ceiling. I’d promised myself no more secrets, yet here I was texting a stranger in the dark while my husband breathed next to me. I

  • BEHIND THE MASK (DARK ROMANCE)   THE CONFRONTATION

    James was a shadow at the edge of the driveway, his hands jammed into his pockets, but the way his shoulders were set told me he’d been pacing. When our car rolled to a stop, his eyes locked on the masked man first, then on me, and something in his face changed recognition, fury, and jealousy all at once.He took two hard steps toward the car.“Mariam,” he said, his voice low and dangerous. “Get out.”I hesitated, feeling the masked man’s fingers tighten on my knee. “Your husband,” he murmured, his tone a taunt under the mask. “He would remember me.”James’s gaze flicked back to the man in the mask. “Darius,” he spat, as if the name tasted bad. “I knew you looked familiar. We met at the restaurant on our anniversary, and now you're after my wife, so pathetic.” The masked man tilted his head. “So you do remember. Good. Then you’ll understand why she’s safer with me tonight.”“Step away from my wife,” James snarled. His fists clenched. “Now.”The masked man gave a small, mocking bow. “S

  • BEHIND THE MASK (DARK ROMANCE)   SHATTERED MASK

    They whispered as I walked past them, their eyes darting away the moment I looked up. I had never felt so naked without taking off a single piece of clothing. James was gone, Brenda in his arms, and all that remained of my composure was a smear of lipstick and the echo of my threat.I didn’t chase him. I didn’t apologize. I let the pity wash over me like rain, because pity was safer than respect.“You made quite a scene,” a voice murmured behind me. Darius. I didn’t have to turn to know; his scent always arrived before his hands.“You said you’d handle Jessica,” I said, still watching the door where James had disappeared.“I will.” He moved closer, his tone almost amused. “But you’ve already handled yourself. Everyone in that room saw the cracks. James’s perfect little wife just destroyed his façade.”I drew in a shaky breath, trying to steady my voice. “And what does that make me?”He brushed his knuckles along my wrist. “Free.”The word hit me harder than I expected. Free. As if fre

  • BEHIND THE MASK (DARK ROMANCE)   HER HUSBAND’S BETRAYAL

    While Jessica and I stared at each other, neither of us was ready to back down. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw James’s entire body stiffen. His gaze froze on her. Brenda. His mistress, as I bit my lips trying to suppress the rage rising in me.She shouldn’t have been here if Jessica had not tried to mess with me by bringing her here. James’s fingers twitched against his glass. He was panicking, and Jessica saw it.That smug little bitch leaned closer, whispering, her lips curving in triumph. “Your husband looks nervous. Don’t worry, Mariam. I’ll make sure I drag you down and ruin your marriage.”I wanted to slap her at that moment. Or even silence her. I was desperate. I had told myself no one was going to use me anymore. My eyes scanned the room for that one person, Darius.I was slowly relying on this man more than my husband. Everyone wanted to play with my naivete, but for him, I’ll gladly surrender. Our eyes met, making me remember our little interaction earlier as my cheeks

    I wanted things to work between James and I. I wanted so badly for him to see me as more than just a woman he married, more than just a possession he could bring out, decorate, fuck, and tuck away when he was done. Maybe if he ever looked at me like I mattered, like I had desires too, I wouldn't h

    I stared at the text. “Don’t be late.”I knew I didn’t want to find out what my lateness would cost, so I got dressed and left without the driver. I boarded a cab and went there.I was scared and uncertain, but I still went. I got there and walked into the apartment in this lonely off-town place. A

    Scared I was exposed. I got up quickly and hid away the package I got and went to freshen up. I was panicking so bad, thinking: who was this person? Who saw me? I had a lot of questions, and I needed to uncover this secret. Nobody was supposed to find out about my secret.James got back. I kept on

    I hurriedly got up, but the person had already left. I was wondering who could have seen me. Nobody should ever see me like this. I went to bed and eventually managed to sleep.The next day, I saw Jessica, and I kept looking at her face, hoping to see something. Anything. Who was in the house with
