SARAH PIERCE

Did I hear him right?

Or is the universe toying with my senses again?

“Agree to the contract or forget about this union,” Nathaniel concluded.

Forget about the union? When I have risked so much and angered the devils in my life? When I have a three-year-old to protect?

But then… What is wrong with Nathaniel? Is he so deep into his fake-ass acting that he wishes to toy with me like this?

Is this what he thought of me all this while?

Like I am some sort of desperate woman who will jump at any chance of survival?

Well… yes, I am.

But nothing gives him the right to act this way when he was the one that shattered my life in the first place. If he had not left at that very crucial moment, or better still, if he had been reachable after he left, I would not be in this sh*t. I would not have to grovel for survival.

“Nathaniel…” I breathed out the piling emotions in my soul like a dragon preparing to rain down fire on its enemies. “These rules you speak of.” I looked away from him

  • Contract With The Ex That Left Me   Nathaniel's scribbles

    NATHANIEL STORM‘Why did you leave?’That question reminds me of the first time I met Sarah Pierce. Within the tension in her father’s living room, though we were strangers, the expressions in her eyes screamed the very words in her current question. I didn’t think much of it then. But now, that is all I can wonder about.Why did I leave? Why did I leave her?Is that it?I left her? I have laughed at her claims too many times; it would be insane to find it funny again. “Never mind,” she quickly said as she found a way to slide out of my arms. “I can walk by myself.”At this point, I clearly can’t ignore the heaviness lingering in the air between us. “Sarah, I think we need to talk,” I said, but she intensified her steps, and I knew it would be better to drop it. I joined her and we walked in silence, drove in silence, and went home with Raya in that very silence. ~~~SARAH PIERCE“Raya, Mummy had to go somewhere important,” I explained to Raya, who started crying the moment we e

  • Contract With The Ex That Left Me   Sleep

    ROSALINE PIERCENathaniel Storm… How dare he humiliate me openly because of a brat? He shouldn’t have. Now, I want to ruin him too. I will turn Nathaniel Storm into a mess. And when people seek the source of his suffering, Sarah Pierce will be the answer they find. Neither of them will survive.They can hold hands to hell for all I care. ~~~NATHANIEL STORM“Where is she?” I rushed to Amir, my feet almost stumbling as I turned the corner of a corridor. “How is she?”“She is sleeping,” Amir sighed. “I am arranging for her to be moved to the VIP ward.”I relaxed, but barely. “What happened? Why did she-?”“Who is Sarah Pierce’s guardian?” A woman asked from behind. “I am.”“I am,” Amir said at the same time. With a frown, I stepped in front of Amir like a shield and said, “I am her guardian.” Her name tag read Dr. Wenn. “Doctor, how is she?”With a brow raised in suspicion, the doctor asked, “Can I know your relationship with the patient?”“Husband.” Amir pushed closer to glare at

  • Contract With The Ex That Left Me   The call

    NATHANIEL STORMSetting my confusing reaction to Sarah Pierce aside, two things keep tugging at my heart: Shaw Clawford and Sarah’s insistence that we dated. My soul wants to believe that the evidence is wrong, and Sarah’s constant and very serious, sometimes angry, reminder that I knew her before didn’t help. Sure, I easily dismissed her claims as crazy talk. But my mind keeps going back to it, as if I want that crazy talk to be true. I even caught myself wondering if a DNA test would confirm Raya’s mine. God, I really am losing itAnyway, my grand confusion is the reason I am currently driving into my father’s compound, the sight of the huge house barely eliciting emotions from me. Growing up here was not friendly, I always felt suffocated. If anything, I am glad I found a permanent way to escape my mother’s frequent warning to move back in with them. After parking my vehicle, a space jeep, my favourite, I headed inside after Butler Samson informed me that my father was in the d

  • Contract With The Ex That Left Me   Sizzling intents

    NATHANIEL STORMA knock interrupted my sleep. Grudgingly, I got up and opened the door. “Sarah?” The woman said nothing. Within her eyes, though, were specific intents that were too sizzling to describe. Seeing her that way confused me, I stayed frozen as she closed the door, and led my unsteady steps till my calves hit the bed. “Sarah, hold on. You-”“Shh.” She forced me to sit and looked down at me, the will to conquer blazing in her eyes. “Shh.” A finger sealed my lips. “I am tired of your rules.”The feel of her skin made my lips twitch with the urge to have a taste. Within me, desires roared, and I instantly chose not to complain, but to experience where that moment was heading without doubts.Sarah leaned closer, giving a glimpse of her collarbones through her shirt. “Rules need to be broken. Don’t you think so?” she asked and her hands travelled to the back of my head, squeezing my hair, making my blood pump hotter, so much that my penis twitched. “True,” I breathed, thickl

  • Contract With The Ex That Left Me   Let go, Sarah

    SARAH PIERCEI salute Nathaniel. For denying me so many times without batting an eyelid, I salute him so freaking much! “Is everything okay?” Amir asked while my feet dragged to the living room.“It’s fine,” I replied, dismissing my visible anger before Amir could read into it. I sat beside him and asked, “How do you survive working with him?”“There’s no fixed method,” he chuckled. “I frustrate him, tackle him, but I always know when to stop. There is this thing he does with his eyes. Once you see it, just know you have crossed the line.”“Oh, tiny eyes?” Raya sighed where she was, abandoned her scribbling, and came to rest her head on my lap.“Jesus!” Amir exclaimed. “It has gotten that bad?”“Uh…” I babbled my earlier response without thinking. Nathaniel has not shown me his tiny eyes since we signed the contract. He never has. But when we were dating, I often saw how he threatened people with it. One day, we were on a date, and this one guy kept trying to hit on me. One round o

  • Contract With The Ex That Left Me   You are my ex

    SARAH PIERCENathaniel’s little tug was enough to pull me. Resisting did not work; I could only glare at his back and complain, “Nathaniel, let go of me. Now.”“Allow.” “Do you realise what you are doing right now?” “Breaking my rule? It’s not the first time,” he firmly said, his feet turning towards his room.“At least you are aware.” He let go of me and closed the door. “I need to be with Raya right now,” I argued.“Amir is with her.”“Doesn’t matter.” A shaky exhale escaped me. The contact with his hand left a tingly sensation I could not ignore. This is the result of lacking human intimacy for a long time. “I am not entirely comfortable with leaving Raya with grown men.” “Then you should have allowed her father to see her. I am inclined to believe that she will be comfortable around him.”Not this again. “Nathaniel.” My breath steadied, and I made sure not to back down despite my frustration. “I get that all of you smoke the same shit that makes you believe that Shaw Clawford
