"Ahh, you mean he isn't in a special relationship with you?"
"No, we are not! Because I wa......" Before she could complete her sentence she felt a sudden arm curl around her waist, surprising her and even the press.
"I and Miss Schaffer here are in a serious relationship," Turning to face the owner of the hand around her waist, and the owner of the voice, she was surprised to see the guy who had taken advantage of her two nights before.
"What are you doing here?" She asked angrily, staring into the pair of Aqua blue eyes, which stared down at her, as she tried pulling away from him.
He pulls her body closer to his, with his beautiful thin lips holding a smile "Saving you" he answered.
"I don't think I need your help, after ruining my life," She said in greeted teeth.
"Just a minute with my wife," He held a finger up for the press, who would sure be good at firing guns, with the way the camera light went on and off on the duo.
"Your fvcking what...." Ida asked, hearing him call her 'his wife'
"Sure, Mr. Reid!!" She heard the press say in unison as if they knew who the dumb ass was.
"Am not ruining your life, planning to make a good out of it, you think that little explanation you are planning to give would save you from them. No it won't, you would be humiliated even more because your bandmates had something more under their sleeves ..." He said and she gulped hard before averting her gaze.
He brought his lips down to her ear "How much do you worth? Just state it, I would double the prize"
'In this kind of situation he had brought her in, he dare asked her this crazy question.
Ida's lips trembled in anger and pure humiliation "Just because you think you helped me doesn't give you the right to belittle me, don't think you are also off the hook, am reporting you to the cops after this, and you would surely rot in jail trust me" She said, before hearing him chuckle lightly, and then he took her hands in his "You're making me want you more!"
"We need a quick explanation from Ms Schaeffer for not telling us about Mr Reid being her husband, and from you Mr. Reid for not making it known to the masses that you had a wife..."
'Reid!' The last name sunk into Ida's head again, and then realization struck her before looking back at the deadly handsome man, whose eyes never left hers 'Corbin Reid' the devil in the business world and eldest legitimate son of the richest family in Texas.
'That's why he looked so calm when she said she would sue him, this man was the law, no one had ever crossed and go scot-free'.
"Because it meant to be kept a secret just between us!" Corbin was never a person who smiled much in photographs, so she had thought he would be cold and aloof in person, but he had been smiling crazily like a maniac since he had arrived.
A maniac she hated, and would forever hate, for putting her in this crisis.
"Uhh, bu...."
"What else do you want to know?" It felt like a normal question, but Ida could sense something like a warning or threat beneath his deep voice, which scared the female press who was about to ask a question earliar.
"No..nothing,"
Taking her hand in his large palm, Corbin walked out of the hall with her, going to face the restless masses once again, who had calmed a little.
Even without a bodyguard helping them, the crowd created a passage for them to pass freely 'Maybe because of the man beside her, because who would dare cross his path?".
"Mr. Reid, prove to us that you are married to Ms. Schaeffer, everyone here wants to know if it is real and if all that you had said in there was true!" A male press summoning up enough courage stood in front of the duo.
"The pictures, and the short video clips, isn't that enough proof, or should we try practicing it in front of everyone here to make you believe that we are married" Corbin said, and Ida felt her cheeks heating up "Or should we, love?" He asked her directly and she felt embarrassed even more.
"I hate you!" she mouthed.
"And I still want you!" He brought his face close to hers a little, whispering on her lips. This little gesture made her heartbeat accelerate.
That little gesture cleared the doubt in the crowd's mind, who screamed happily, seeing how romantic the eldest son of Reid was with his wife.
Like a shock to everyone, money of different currencies began falling from choppers in the sky "Oh God" the large crowd explained, and that was all it took to get everyone falling on themselves, even the press questioning the alleged couples of earlier scampered away from the duo.
Corbin pushed a card into the stunned Ida's hand "Call me if you are ready to take my offer" he said having her confused.
"Wh..what offer?"
Taking her hand again, he brought it close to his lips, before putting her middle finger in his mouth "Be mine, and you'll get anything you want" He said before releasing her finger from his lips.
"You have three days to decide Ms. Schaeffer," Corbin said before getting into the car that had stopped in front of them.
"You are crazy" She shouted at the car, befor it zoomed off.
A scream of joy filled the hospital after the Reids heard Ida was conceived of a baby boy."Shouldn't we start searching for a name? What about Scott, Scott would be perfect." Lucinda said excitedly, getting a glare from Grandma Reid."Mention that Scott again, and I would be forced to put an 'e' at the beginning, I would escort you out, get it, I don't want to see you with that Scott ever again."Later in the day, the Reids were allowed to see Ida "How was it? Did it really hurt?" Lucinda asked, taking the chair beside Ida, Grandma Reid sitting on the bed close to Ida, petting her hair."It's hurts pretty bad, but it worth it, I don't know what Callen is still doing with him, I want to see my baby again." Ida had a reason to smile now, a reason to keep on waiting that one day Corbin was going to wake up. That day, she got the absolute care she needed from the Reids until her baby was tended to very well, and brought back to her, and was forced to name him "Asher! I don't want to do
"No!!!" Ida's eyes widened, seeing blood seeping from Corbin's chest, his eyes hollow, as he dropped to the ground with her in his arms.Corbin got shot, by Tyson, twice.Callen, breathing came out hurriedly, pain clutches his chest, together with anger for the man lying on the floor holding a gun, who showed no ounce of remorse.The sound of a police siren could be heard outside the warehouse, before Callen rushed at Tyson, grabbing him by his collar, and raining punches on his face "Fvck, how dare you?"Meera runs up to the horrified Ida "Corbin, please stay with me." Ida stayed beside him, as she watched the way he fought to keep his eyes open in her arms."Ida!!" he called with difficulty, as blood slipped past his lips "It hurts, even more seeing you in tears, I never thought we were going to go through this, but if...if it is a son or daughter, make 'em always know I love 'em...." he coughed, staining ida's cloth with blood.The warehouse was suddenly surrounded by police in no
"It was said that a night Kathy was done cleaning Lavinia and Raven's room, when the fvcking bastard Raven walked in, drunk and groggy, and he fvcking rapes the eighteen years old Kathy, who was yet to have a future like me, you can say it runs in the genes 'No Future....' Without mercy, after Lavinia who only cares about luxury, heard what her husband had done with the maid, she threw her out without same mercy, sending her out to the ruthless streets of Texas... Months later, Kathy finds out she is pregnant, and guess what she did? She tells Raven, the fvcking foolish spêrm donator, who goes ahead to tell his fvcked up wife who couldn't give birth on her own, and uses a fvcken surrogate mother..." he raged, letting the last drop of whiskey slid down his throat."Lavinia was after her, trying to kill her and the baby....she got what she wanted after she had bribed the doctor to kill her with the baby, but the evil doctor got rid of the mother, leaving the child, why hadn't he just ta
Ida coughed, before opening her eyes, surprised to find herself in an ice-cold room.Her hand went to her head, which felt like it had been pierced with a thousand needles, she sniffed, when she saw the dried red stain on her hand 'Blood'.'How did she get here?' she asked herself before the memories of what had happened earlier began resurfacing in her head.Her heart tightened, goosebumps all over her body, due to the coldness of the mist-covered room, the smell of fish hit down to her guts, and she felt like puking, before realization dawned on her, she was in a cold room, where fish were stored.As minutes went by, her eyes began getting blurry, as she curled in a certain spot on the floor, the tears sliding down her eyes, had turned cold, with the cold temperature of the room "Help.." her voice sounding less than a whisper, as she clutched on her chest, which she felt was going to tear apart if she doesn't get out of this place "Corbin..." she whispered before her eyes went shut.
Ida's heart stopped beating for a second, her mouth opened and closed lost for words because her brain had shut down 'This was too much...Corbin Reid loves her.'"You don't have to say anything if you don't feel comfortable." He said, noticing how she went stiff in his arms."No, I am fine, I..iam ju...just stunned, I... I can I u..use your washroom." she pushed him a little from her, as she quickly sprang up from the bed.He chuckled softly, as she gathered the coverlet around herself, but before she made for the washroom, he suddenly remembered something "Callen messaged me." he frowned."About?" she asked, as she turned to face him before she could open the washroom door."A baby...he asked if I didn't hurt the baby, what baby?" Ida's eyes dilated after Corbin's question, making her clench hard on the sheet on her body. She sucked in her bottom lips "Last time we were in Dallas, the night I told you I had a dream Corbin, why did you lie you made me use after pills low-key when you
Delta had drunk a lot until she felt groggy "Young miss, your father asked us to escort you home." two burly men in black suits walked up to her in her sober state.She looked up at 'em in teary eyes "Get away from me." she said, as she made to grab the next bottle lying on the table.A loud bang jolted her from the table, and her chin got lifted roughly "She is drunk." Callen whispered "Take her home." he ordered guards who were beside her."I know her, Delta Colorado right?" Meera who stood beside him asked and he nodded."She has always been a pu$$y, even in school.." Callen gave her a confused look "We went to the same high school, and she wasn't the cool type."CORBIN'S MANSION.Ida had taken the role of driving both of 'em to Corbin's house, her breathing coming out heavily, as she drove the car into the gate of the mansion."Fvck, I feel hot." she noticed how Corbin tried his best to stay put beside her.'That pretentious b!tch...' Ida's brow furrowed, as the car stopped in a l
"Be sincere with me Ida, and I would let you go, the time we spent together, doesn't it matter to you Ida?" he tilted her chin, so her eyes could meet his.She didn't respond "Should take as a yes Ida, that it does mat....""It didn't." she said into his face, with lying teeth "It didn't Corbin because I never saw a future for me with you, I was just that girl you had used in her weak state, I was just that girl who you see as nothing but a toy to soften your 'desires ' I was just that one girl you saw as an excuse not to live a good life, I was just that..hmm" her words got stuck in her throat when his lips covered hers.His hand went behind her hair, melting her in a sensual kiss, tears couldn't stop pouring down her cheek, as she let him kiss her without pushing him away.He pulled away, his lips moving to her cheek, kissing her tears away, before he moved up a bit, to look at her ridden face "It does matter then, but now Ida, it's different, do you know how jealous I felt when you
"You both look cool..with the kid, I thought it was a family of three," Delta said, holding Corbin's arm tightly.Ida gave a short smile, she suddenly felt weird, feeling Corbin's gaze on her "Why don't we go find a sit Ida?" Callen smiled, his hand, curling around Ida's waist."Okay. " she smiled back at him "Nice meeting you here Ms. Colorado, and you too brother," Callen said, looking at Corbin who gave out a stiff smile."Uhh wait, I have an idea, why don't we all sit together, like one big family..what do you say, Ida?" Delta asked a deep smile on her face.Ida tried keeping her smile intact 'This babe knows what she was doing, she just wanted to make her feel uncomfortable.'How would she cope, sitting at the same table with 'Corbin'?"Okay." Ida accepted "Callen shouldn't we give Camilla back to her parents?" Ida asked."No.." Camilla pouted, snuggling into Callen's arms.Callen grinned "I told you it's called 'obsession," he said whispering in Ida's ear, as he watched her chuc
DAYS PASSED, and now it was the fifth day, surprisingly Ida's salary doubled, or even tripled, just a little more and she would be able to pay Corbin 'How happy?' that was sarcastic."Callen wants to talk to you Ida, "a little boy tugged on her sleeve, drawing her attention to Callen who stood at the doorstep of the playroom.You could say she had gotten close with Callen, the cold look he wore most times were just facades to his softness.He reminds her of 'him' but there is still something which differentiates 'him' from 'him', they could be identical, but she feels something different when she is with both of 'em.She smiled at Callen who smiled back at her, as he walked towards her "This is from Callen," a kid came running with a rose stick, giving it to Ida."Kids are funny, they think it's one of those child's play they do.." A warm smile etched on Callen's lips, as he took the rose from Ida."Would you put it in Ida's hair?" the kids around them giggled, melting Ida's heart."W
