“Is our new home that far?” Jill yawned, already tired of the ride. It's not a secret that my kids hate trips since we have been going on numerous trips since they were born. I chuckled at the impatient expression on her face. “It's not that far. Don't worry, we are almost there.”We would have been there long ago had I driven like before. But no, I had to be extra careful on the road to prevent my happiness from taking the upper hand and leading me to something I might regret. “Can you get an ice cream for us?” Jane rubbed her eyes. “I'm tired.”“Do you want an ice cream now or when we reach?” I glanced at them through the mirror. “Now!” they chorused together, not taking a moment to think. “Okay.”And like that, a journey that would have taken us an hour max, took us two hours and thirty minutes to arrive. I had to buy their favourite ice cream for them.I drove straight to Miguel's mansion. Luckily, he wasn't back by the time we arrived. His guards let me in as if it's natural
They stared at him, looking confused. “Mum, what's he doing here?” Jane asked, still looking at him. She only spared a look at me before she turned her entire focus on him. “Come on, babies.” Miguel motioned for them to come close to him. When they didn't go to him, he glanced up at me. “I thought you weren't coming back. I intended to relocate to the street, you live with them.” He smiled at me, "I have made the plans already. Implementing it was my next plan." “You stupid man!” I closed the distance between us and enveloped him in a hug. He rose from the ground and twirled me in the air. I chuckled at the feeling of being lifted by him. I felt light as he held me up like a baby. "Put me down!" I said in a voice that doesn't sound as commanding as it should. You can't blame me. Having him carry me is something I wish he can do all the time. “Mum, why are you hugging him?!” Jane shouted. While the others stared at me with shocked expressions on their faces.“Oh.” I chuckled as
A shiver racked through my body at his touch that sent rippling sensations through my body. His hot breath on my skin caused me to moan. I arched my back and clenched my fists at the pleasurable feelings that racked through me. “Beautiful.” His deep rumble on my naked stomach made me whimper. My stomach clenched, and my toes curled, sending more rippling sensations through me. “Touch me.” I rasped. “Run your hand through my body.”“Adorable.” He kissed my navel. “So damn beautiful.” He trailed kisses down my stomach towards my......I sat up in bed, drenched in sweat.Was that just a dream?I glanced around the room, half hoping to see my husband. Who was I kidding? It's just the same dream all over again. It never seems to end. Each time, it gets worse than before. I rose from my bed and headed over to my dressing table. My legs shook, probably from the dream I had. I tightly clenched the material of my gown as I stared at myself in the mirror. The image of a nineteen-year-old who
My eyes hurt. Hell, all parts of my body hurt like hell. But I'm trying to endure it all, by acting like nothing could faze me. “Jewel!” Star, the live-in maid Miguel employed, yelled my name the moment she entered the house. She banged the door behind her, almost deafening me with the sound. I can hear her footsteps as she rushed in. She sounded excited. “What's wrong?” I called out from the parlour where I was. I sat up on the couch and made certain not to wince. She only knows that my husband treats me like trash. I don't wish for her to know of the new development. “I got something for you.” She sat on the cushion next to me and rummaged through her handbag. “Tada!” She brought out an invitation card from her handbag and gave it to me. The way her eyes sparkled made me jealous. I gave her a once-over. Star is a beautiful woman with hair as blonde as mine, and blue eyes which were brighter than mine. However, compared to her, I'm nothing but a shell of myself. "Take a look at
I stretched my muscles as I headed downstairs. Last night was a mess. I tossed and turned on the bed as thoughts of what I was going to do during the weekend, enveloped my mind. Not only that, but I was afraid of Miguel asking me to come to the room. It left me sleepless and nervous. Star was extremely jumpy, so I had to step in, by offering to make breakfast while she hastens to school, for her first-semester exam.“You never told me what you will love to wear for the ball." She glanced into the kitchen on her way to school.“Surprise me.”“Okay. See you when I return!”“Bite off your pencils!” I called out to her. “Thanks. I will spoil the computer!” She yelled.With Star gone, I focused on making breakfast. It has been a long since I last prepared a meal, so I decided to make a simple breakfast of waffles, pancakes, and oatmeal. I occasionally glanced back at the door, expecting my husband to come down the stairs any moment from now. I can almost imagine the expression on his fac
I checked the time for the fifth time. It was already eight O'clock, and my husband wasn't back yet. I glanced at the door, half hoping to see him trudge in, tired from working, but nothing happened. Star was long done with dinner, but I was still waiting for Miguel. Aside from Fridays, I always have dinner with Miguel. It's one of the God damned rules he made.I yawned. “What's keeping him today?” I checked the time once more. If only I had a cell phone, I would have given him a call, to check on him. Not that he would have answered. The front door opened. I instantly rose from the cushion I was sitting on and hastened to the door. Though I didn't get to hear the car when he returned, I was aware he was the only one who enters the house by this time. None of the guards does that. They knock on the door when they want to relay a message.Miguel stood by the door. Though he didn't look as tired as I envisioned, he seemed to have run his hand through his hair more than once. His
“It's time, Jewel!” Star rushed into the parlour. She plopped down next to me, with an excited grin on her face.“Time for what?” I tilted my head, confused by her words. “It's time to party!” She beamed. “It's time to rock the boat.”“Oh, it is?” I dropped the book I was reading with a sigh. “What's wrong?”“I… Uh… No, nothing is wrong. I was just lost in a fantasy world, that's why” I lied. I was only pretending to read the book. My mind was on how hard Miguel was on me last night. I glanced at my wrists. Though I used concealer on them, I can still see the red marks from when he gripped me so hard as he fucked me by the window. “Don't give me that bullshit. You are thinking of your husband, right?” She raised a brow at me.“Who told you that?” I furrowed my brows at her.“I can tell with just a glance.” She tugged me from the cushion I was sitting on. “Let's go. It's time to party! What you currently need is a party to cheer you up.”“You think? ““I don't think, love, I'm certa
I hastened toward the front door after the check had been made. There was no bouncer at the door, and I stood still as I wondered what I should do. This was my first time in a place like this, so I was confused about what to do. Should I open the door and walk in, or should I stand here until the door bouncer comes in?There should be a bouncer or butler, right? I glanced back at the guards at the gates, but none of them was watching me. Hmm.I stared at the door so long, that I seemed to stab holes into it. “Are you going in, or do you prefer staying outside?” Someone asked behind me.The voice startled me, and I almost threw the handbag I came with, on the ground. “Oh, my. Did I startle you?” The female asked once more. I slowly turned to face her without saying a word. Just like me, the female was putting on a long flowing gown. She had her red hair tied up in a butterfly ponytail, and her black mask complimented her silver gown. “So, what are you doing outside here?” She aske
