MANNYManny wasn't ready to face her mother yet, so she suggested that they go for the cake tasting first.They arrived at a place called the Cake Palace, and as they stepped in, their mouth began to water. Cakes of all kinds were available, the place where owning up to its name.After they went to the reception, they were led to the room where they would be sampling the cakes.It was a dainty room with crystal chandeliers hanging from the high ceiling and gleaming marble floors. They settled in plush chairs and the aroma of the exquisite pastries filled their nostrils.Excitement bubbled up in them as the chef brought in miniature cake slices on silver platters, each with a beautiful design and different flavors.“Finally,” Josie exclaimed, her voice filled with joy as she eagerly reached out for the first slice—a decadent champagne-infused cake with layers of delicate elderflower mousse and edible gold leaf. As Josie took her first bite, she moaned with pleasure as the spongy cake m
MANNYManny woke up to whispering voices outside of the room. She sighed inaudibly, she was getting tired of doing this.'Why do I have to faint at every slight inconvenience.’ she thought to herself.As she slowly opened her eyes, she inspected where she was. It didn't look like a hospital, the room was dark and cold, and she could barely make out anything.The only thing that brightened the room a little, was a ray that seeped through the slightly opened curtain.Manny tried sitting up but a sharp pain shot through her belly and she let out a scream. The scream must have been loud because immediately, she heard footsteps rushing in the direction of the room.The doctor instantly checked her, while Andrew's tall figure hovered above her.“Is the baby going to be fine?" Andrew asked.Even in her near-unconscious state, Manny scoffed, she wasn't surprised that Andrew didn't care one bit about her.She let out a low scream as another round of pain made its way to her body.The doctor tr
MANNYThe day Manny was to leave Andrew's house, she thought about going back to her mum's place but she couldn't have Damon hanging.He deserved to know what had happened; he had been so good to her during her stay at Leura.Manny arrived back at the small town without Andrew. He claimed that he was too angry to stay with her.The one week she had with Andrew was one of the worst she'd ever had. It was horrible.He didn't bother to visit her once. Thank goodness for their butler or she would have starved to death.When they eventually see each other, he would ignore her presence.For the whole week, Andrew kept bringing in new girls to the house and Manny felt her insides churn with disgust. She tried not to care, but the moaning coming from across the room made it difficult.Manny focused on losing weight and even tried dieting but she only managed to shed very little, it wasn't enough for her.Andrew's doctor gave her the contact of a dietitian and told her she could still give birt
ANDREWAndrew watched through the window as Manny entered the living room giggling and switching on the light recalling the moment she just had outside with a smile.“Welcome back." Hearing the deep voice, Manny screamed, her heart throbbing with fear of being attacked. Finally taking a look at who it was, she calmed herself, but her heart was still beating frantically.“What is wrong with you?" She screamed“Did you enjoy your date?" He asked her calmly. As Manny was about to answer, the door burst open, revealing a panicked Damon.“I heard screaming, are you okay?” Damon quickly ran to Manny, inspecting her body." She's fine.” Andrew's voice boomed from behind, sounding bored and calm. He narrowed his eyes as he watched Damon’s hands wander over Manny's body.After making sure that everything was fine, he turned to Andrew, mirroring his expression, " refrain from harming my girlfriend.”At the mention of the word ‘girlfriend’, his eyes darkened. What did he mean by girlfriend? Manny
MANNYManny should have been worried about Andrew's reaction but she wasn't. If anything, she was ecstatic as she went to bed, dreaming of how his tongue licked up her core.She felt comfortable as she fell asleep peacefully, not knowing if it was due to the soft bed or Andrew's imaginary hand that was wrapped around her.Falling into a deep slumber, she couldn't care less about what might happen tomorrow. She was happy.———————————————————Memories of last night came rushing back as Manny woke up and a blush crept up her cheeks as that vulnerable part of her tingled.She quickly got dressed and went out of the room, excited to see Andrew.“Good morning.” She greeted, expecting a chipping response but he gave her no regard as he went into the dining room, he sat three seats away from her, silently eating as he scrolled through his phone.Manny felt the need to make a conversation, and had to know if last night was real, “did you sleep well? Because I slept can pea-”“Can you not talk,
MANNYRosewood Park was nestled amid the rolling hills and lush forests.As they entered, they were greeted with a kaleidoscope of colors and fragrances that danced in the breeze, towering oak trees provided a canopy of shade, dappling the ground with patches of sunlight, and the stoneway pathways led to secluded areas for more intimate picnics.As the gate opened, Manny let out a loud gasp as she took in the place's beauty. Damon parked the car in a safe place before ordering Manny out of the car.“Get down.”She immediately stepped out, feeling scared. She hadn't even enough time to take everything in, a black bag came over her head, muffling her screams as she was dragged away.She kicked and screamed as certain thoughts ran through her mind. She was going to die.Suddenly the van halted and all movement ceased, she couldn't hear a sound until she was led out of the van. The bag was instantly removed from her head and she hissed at the harsh intrusion of the light.Able to see well
MANNYDamon had now changed out of his wet clothes and was about to sit when a loud flirtatious whistle made Manny pause. She whipped her head around to see her cousin staring past her, curious, Manny followed her eyes and it landed on a half-naked Damon.He was now wearing jean trousers with a white shirt hinged around his neck, leaving the top of his body bare and every woman in the room hungry for a taste.Avery walked past Manny and went straight for the handsome something that sat on the chair. Manny was about to call her to a stop but decided not to, wanting her to be embarrassed a little.“Hey, handsome." Avery did, making herself comfortable on Damon’s lap.He raised an eyebrow and looked towards Manny who just shook her head signaling him to let her be.Manny then stood up, smiling at her client through the mirror, “Excuse me for some minutes.” Her client—Ivy Pierce— smiled back at her giving her a go-ahead nod, she then went to sit down beside her handler who sat quietly in
ANDREWAndrew hated what his life had become, full of constant worrying. Worrying about Manny, worrying about a baby, she wasn't his wife or someone he liked but he couldn't seem to stop thinking about her. The thoughts of Manny filled his mind. They stayed together, but yet never saw eye to eye, how could two people live together, but yet live separate lives? He wanted to change that but didn't know how to.“She should just give birth already.” he grunted.He was getting sick of that small town. He ran his hand through his hair, something he did anytime he was stressed and as of late, it was becoming a habit. The telephone on his table rang, distracting him from his thoughts.“Sir?” A voice came from the other end. “A lady named Cece is here to see you.”Cece? The name sounded vaguely familiar. Normally, he would have neglected a call like that, but he needed something to distract himself with even if it was a conversation with a strange lady. “Let her in.” he replied placing the
