I was on probation, trapped under the watchful eyes of my cruel husband.

The atmosphere at the villa was stiff and filled with tension. All the servants seemed ashamed to look me in the eyes. It wasn't hard for me to put to put two and two together. James had bragged to them that I had come crawling back to him. I think they were disappointed in me.

I would let them believe his narrative until he trusted me enough to give me back my phone. I would have to call my secret contact to rescue me. My

  • Discarding my Loveless Marriage    Chapter 21

    Ronica's meeting with the investors was a huge success and they were all eager to see her rendition come Saturday. As the day drew nearer, she grew more giddy with excitement.When the meeting was over and she had spoken with her crew. Tickets for the concert were sold out. She slid into the back of the limousine with Eric. Due to the last time when James had abducted her, Eric banned hotels. She was now a guest in his fortress like mansion. If James and Mona were making any efforts at all trying to find her, they would fail woefully.Eric shot her a genuine smile and asked her how she felt."Like you've handed me the world. Thank you for being my biggest fan, Eric." As children, they had been best friends at the orphanage until her adoption by the Risconce family. She never thought she'd see him again, but at the crucial moment, at the height of her suffering with James, when she was at the verge of losing everything, he had swooped in to save the day. He sponsored her hope. It turne

    For the first time in eight years, Ronica was truly happy. She had fully recovered from her coma. Eric was ever so kind to her. And her concert preparations were making headways."That's a wrap guys. We'll be having our dress rehearsal next," she called out to her crew as they ended the evening rehearsals and applauded each other. Eric was already waiting for her at the lobby. He ushered her into the sleek passenger seat of the sleek red Ferrari. Even after revealing his identity and face to the public, he did not stop living loud and expensive. He was a business celebrity."I'm taking you to dinner," he announced."Are you sure that's a good idea?""Why wouldn't it be?"Ronica shook her head and sighed. For a billionaire, he really was clueless. He did not understand what it meant to be the topmost eligible bachelor in the country."I'll be fine Ronny," he assured her, giving her a cheeky smile. "You on the other hand need a mood lifter, especially now that your concert is only a wee

    Mona was about to go crazy while hiding in the bathroom, away from James. She could not believe all the stuff he had just told her, the confessions. She felt like she had walked right into a TV drama. She could not believe that once upon a time, she imagined that it would be simple claiming James and all that he promised while leaving Ronica hanging dry.But James had an appalling dark past; a past darker than even he was ready to admit. Here was the story.Patrick's wife, Clarice Simmons was having infertility problems. In her late forties, she and Patrick finally gave up on their efforts to conceive and chose instead to adopt a child. They adopted a seven year old boy named Eric. Patrick and Clarice genuinely loved the boy especially as he turned out to be a genius. They truly were the premium family. But a year later, tragedy struck. Not with the Simmons' family, but somewhere far away. On the other side of the country when a woman's life was about to be taken by cancer, she dumped

    "Mona is pregnant for her fiance and she'll take a maternity leave soon. I am not the father of her child," James severely spelt out the moment he was esconced in his study far away from Mona with his father. "This is appalling, you finally decide to visit my matrimonial home and the first thing you do is harass a member of my working staff. To embarrass me with your gross impropriety.""Explain it to me then. Why exactly is your so called secretary living with you in your matrimonial home?" Patrick queried."She's not staying long. I only invited her to discuss her replacement, and to congratulate her. I figured given how long she's worked for me, I need not be so stiffly official with her like you are with all your associates.""So she's not living here.""Not that it's any of your business, but no.""Then why is she walking around in a bathrobe James?"James opened his mouth but no words came out. "It's a full house Dad, my house. Ask any of the servants if I am lying." This was hi

    It was reaching a week since James Simmons lost his wife. Again.She was supposed to be in a coma so he had let his guard down. But that was Ronica for you. Atcking from behind like a simple coward. And somehow, she knew Eric Strauss.How? James could think of only one reason and it terrified him. He still remembered the last call he made with Ronica. She had switched phones with a random nurse and James had not expected to be sidetracked that way. But he had maintained his composure as she rattled on the line about forwarding another number. He couldn't help but laugh even as the laughter made him bitter."Well played Ronica.""I learned from the best, James."James could feel his face going purple and all he really wanted to do was hurl his phone against the wall. Instead, he ran shaky finger through his hair. "How can you run off like that when you're going to have our baby?""Stop it with your clown games with me. Go okay them with Mona.""I got you back once. Do you really think

    "You are THE Eric Strauss???""Oh my God, he's so young.""It took him fifteen years to build his anaconda empire, gobbling whatever company stood in his way.""Oh Ronica, such good fortune that you are a dear friend of Eric Strauss. Let's keep in touch."Many people were dying to be acquainted with Eric. Like Danny's friend had said, a man like Eric was good for business. I somehow became the intermediary introducing him. Surprisingly, he was relaxed and chill while he chatted politely with my classmates who only understood the language of money and who were ready to bite my head off thirty minutes ago when they thought I was a liar. The tide had turned because I knew Eric Strauss, everybody wanted to be my friend and keep in touch with me.The rave over meeting the elusive Eric Strauss in person was stronger than the repercussions for James and Mona who were completely forgotten until a later date. Pulling myself away from my surrounded date, I managed to reach the bar to get my muc
