"Are you sure you want to hear the truth?" She asked the same thing again, her sneer widening so much that it began to feel like a threat. "I'm asking you again because I can tell that you'll be so heartbroken."
"Yes, yes. Just tell me now." My fear worsened.
She exhaled. "Well you see my sweet husband, the first thing you need to know is that this marriage of ours is only a game."
"A game? What are you saying?" I narrowed my eyes, trying to concentrate on what she was sputtering.
Her sly smile worsened, and she moved closer to me. "Yes my dear husband." She poked my nose with her index finger. "I'm not supposed to tell you this. But thinking about it, I'm damn tired of pretending to you. I'm fucking tired."
"So what game are you speaking of?" I tried to frown although my sadness was disrupting me from being angry.
She let out another cunnin
JILLI sat on the bed in my room as I worried so much. It was already six in the evening, but I hadn't seen Jace all day. I wanted to check his room but I just couldn't tell whether his annoying wife was there. And when I went to his study room in search of him, it was locked. I also tried to call him, but he didn't pick any of my calls. All I hoped was for him to be fine."Mommy." Liam looked sad as he sat on a small chair in my front. "Where's Jace? We haven't seen him since morning. Did he run away?"I tried to smile at him. "No my boy. Maybe he went to his office." I said."Ok." He shrugged, as usual. "So can I go to Maria now? I still want to learn how to cook.""Hmm," I sucked my teeth at him. "Will you give me some of the food you'll cook?"He grinned, and stood up from his seat. "I'll give you a lot of it!"&n
"And why won't you bring me a coffee anymore? What did I do to you again?" Jace complained, frowning playfully as he sat on a stool in my front.I poked his arm, and sucked my teeth. "You made Shanice to be annoyed at me. Shanice and I never argue about anything. But you literally made us argue." I explained to him."And why did you argue?" He asked.I shut my eyes, and exhaled softly. "Just go out of my room. Do you want me to break your teeth?""Woah, I'm scared." He mocked me, sneering sinisterly."Fine!" I stood from my bed. "If you don't leave now, I'll leave." I informed him, and turned to leave the room. But before I could, he held my wrist back. And, my body gently hit against his chest, which made me gasp.Staring into his adorable eyes, down to his lips, I drowned into his beautiful look again. As he held me so close, I hones
Trisha--------"This is all your fault you know!" Xander complained, and stood up angrily from the bed."All my fault?" I retorted, shooting him the glare he was giving me. "How's it my fault? Like, I don't think I've done anything wrong in all this."He turned to my side of the bed, which made me stand up as well. "Trisha." He sighed. "If you hadn't told your husband the truth, he could still have considered giving you the money you want to ask for. Do you realize you've caused an atrocity here?"I scoffed and creased my arms across my chest, frowning harder at him. "So you think I'm to blame? How can you expect me to watch him say bad things about me. He told me that I'm the greatest mistake of his life. I also wanted to see him get hurt, that's why I said the truth to him. So don't blame me here, ok?""Oh my goodness." He ran his
SHANICE----------"What's up with you now?" Deja asked as she sipped from her orange juice."I'm good." I replied to her question, focusing on the pictures I was checking on my phone.She lurched to me, and buried her butt into my comfy bed. "You're sure? You don't look good at all." She said.I rolled my eyes, and dropped my phone on the bed."Girl." I sighed. "Don't bother me ok? You said you want to sleep here for the night, and not disturb me for the night. I'm so stressed out already. Don't worsen my tiredness.""What's wrong with you?" She lifted an eyebrow at me, and dropped her juice on the table. "You're overreacting. Is it wrong for me to care about you?"I shut my eyes, and pressed the back of my head against my pillow. "I'm fed up." I admitted to her. "I'm fed up with every freaking thing that's going on in
(Trigger warnings: Violent scene ahead. Read at your own risk.)Trisha-------I couldn't stop gaping. The fear that gripped me was so much that I could literally pass out in a short while. How did it happen? How did she get to see me? How?"Ma." I called for a second time, my voice as shaky as an amoeba.She walked slowly to me, obviously shocked and bewildered. Standing in my front, she stared at me and didn't take any action. All I read from her face was sadness and brokenness, but I cared less about that. The fact that she caught me was the only thing that bothered me.As I had expected, she raised her hand, and hit it hard against my cheek. "You heartless woman!" Her voice echoed in the long hallway. "How can you do this? Why would you even think of doing such a thing? Why?"Holding my burning cheek, I
JACE-------I rolled uncomfortably on my bed although it was spacious enough to accommodate me alone. It felt like there was something obstructing my sleep, but I couldn't tell what it was.Sitting up and groaning softly, I rubbed my hands against my sleep eyes, and removed the duvet from my body. About to stand up to walk into the bathroom, I heard a knock on my door. There was no doubt that it was going to be Jill.I dunked back into my bed, and quickly pulled the duvet over my chest. I didn't want her to think I had fully woken up, so she wouldn't have to disturb me with some unnecessary talk."Come in." I said, amid a fake yawn, and waited for her to walk in.Without wasting time, she jerked the door open and sauntered to me, wearing her usual morning smile, and holding a tray in her hands. "Hey boyo." She gree
Jill----Walking into the large New York City hospital, Jace and I hurried to the elevator after he had done some things at the reception, and headed to his mom's room.To be honest, I was almost as fearful as Jace was. The old woman only left for the hotel the night before, so how in the world did she get a quick accident? Or did something go wrong?With a great deal of worry, Jace walked out of the elevator, and walked unsteadily in the hallway his mom's room was."What happened Baek Chin Ju? You guys only left my place yesterday. How did she get to have an accident?" He asked the Asian looking lady who stood in front of a well furnished door, and looked equally concerned.She sighed, "I don't know sir. Last night, I went to get some of the things we needed to use for our work. And when I got to her hotel room this mor
Jace sat on his mom's bed, staring at her sleeping body and holding her hands in his. "When will she be fine?" He asked the middle aged doctor who did some things to her skin."She's fine right now." The doctor told him. "All that's needed is for her to regain consciousness. She's suffering from shock, and she has an injury in her head. It's an internal injury. But thank God it wasn't too late before she was brought to the hospital. If she came here later, there's a probability that she could have lost her life."I turned to Jace who fretted more and ran his hands through his hair. "This is really bad. Are you sure she won't be affected anymore?"The doctor smiled at him. "I'm very sure. There's no need for you to worry at all. She'll be completely fine.""Alright. Thanks." He said to the doctor.The doctor stopped doing whatever he was doing, and set his gaze at Jace
