last update Huling Na-update: 2025-05-14 11:45:13

When everything is just happening all at once and you do not know what to do, what to say, or even think. I found myself picking up the same thing over and over as I cooked. I found myself asking what I had already put in and what I hadn’t. When I finally tasted the steaks, they were inedible. The thought to call Hendrix and ask him to bring dinner was quickly pushed off. Ryan’s words came back to haunt me. I knew Hendrix had sacrificed a lot but how much was a lot? I had a feeling it was more than I could even imagine. It was eating me alive, like acid on my heart. I knew I could never repay him, it wasn’t something I could repay.

I picked up my phone and Blue, walked out to get some take out before Hendrix got home and found no dinner. I needed to be useful in something. I realized when I was standing in the street that I hadn’t called an uber. I went back to the house and walked out when the car had arrived. It was when I had to pay for my uber that I realized I had left my purse.

  • HIS SECRET WIFE   145. SHADOW OF DEATH

    I heard car tires, and soon I was flipped and thrown. I screamed so loud I was sure my chords tore. Instead of hitting the ground, I was thrown into a car, awkwardly being stuck between the seats. I moved to try and pull myself out of the painful position. By the time I was able to pull myself out, and sit back, the doors were already closed and the car was moving. My head was so heavy, and everything was a blur. I looked around in panic, wondering how I got here. The voice in my head kept screaming that I should not let them take me to a second location, but I was like a fish out of water, barely catching my breath, fear so intense it left me fighting a sob, shaking, and gaping at the horror. “Please,” I pleaded, clasping my hands together, the tears bridging over my lids and slowly slid down. “Please,” it felt like I was pleading with my soul. “Shhh…” The man said, holding out his finger to shush me up. My mouth immediately closed, staring at him through my glassy eyes. In my

  • HIS SECRET WIFE   144. DELIVERY TO MY MURDERER

    I had to wait for the uber outside, shivering my ass off while living through that moment over and over again in my head. I felt so stupid and so little. My skin would soon crack from the cold, the loud stupid music reminding me of what I just went through. I was fighting the tears as best as I could, feeling the eyes from those in the line. Once again, I pulled down the dress, wishing I could rip it off and burn it. I felt the sob climb, trying, but I failed to hold it in and to not break down in front of all these people I turned and rushed away as the tears fell. Why did I keep doing this to myself? Each day I felt more worthless than the last. I knew deep down my friends hated me. A scream broke through my sorrow, and I froze. At first, I thought I was imagining it. My hand moved to wipe away my tears. Then the scream came again, a voice heard after. I turned, staring at the alley. It was dark, I turned back to stare at the line to the club, which was not that far. Nothing c

  • HIS SECRET WIFE   143. LEFT BEHIND

    This is Neria and Ryan’s story (His innocent wife). I changed the title. It will be short and fast-paced. Book tropes: Marriage of convenience, pregnancy, love after marriage, mafia, grief, dark romanceTrigger warnings: Violence, dark romance, rough sexual content Neria’s P.O.V. I was out of it, feeling like an out-of-body experience. The voices became a blur all around me as my friends got ready. I was already dressed, seated down on the vanity as one of my best friends did my makeup. She stepped back, staring at my reflection. She had gotten creative with the blue glitter on my face. As I stared, I saw the reflection of my other three best friends as they laughed and pulled on what they would wear. No makeup would make me that attractive. I knew my place in this world and with my friends too. I cursed myself for agreeing to this outing. I cursed myself again for being silly, I should have been grateful. “You look pretty Neria,” Hanna said cheerfully, straightening up. She tur

  • HIS SECRET WIFE   142. FINALLY HAPPY

    Six Years Later “Blue, Royal, come in, the guests will arrive soon!” I called, the sky darkening as I stared into the vast grassland stretching from our back yard.I could hear Royal talking fitfully. “Blue, Royal!” I shouted again. The boys liked disappearing for hours in the day, God knows what adventures they went on. We bought a large farm, the boys liked exploring it, and Royal got to talk our ears off at dinner on everything they saw. I shook my head just thinking of Royal. He was loud, a very happy child, and had a completely different personality to Blue. My heart clenched every time I thought of my oldest son. You only got one word answers out of him, he was always guarded, always watching the room as if expecting something bad to happen. Royal’s voice got louder, him giggling, then they came to view. I was beginning to think Blue only went out with Royal just to keep guard of him. I loved my babies so much and I could not help smiling wider as they approached. Royal

  • HIS SECRET WIFE   141. FOREVER HOME

    The noodles nearly choked me, bent over my tiny trash can, bowl of noodles in my hand while weeping out a storm. Noodles were the only thing I could keep down and could afford. One bowl per day to keep me alive. Fuck, I was such a mess, weeping even harder and I am sure the sound could be heard through the paper thin walls. At that point the noodles were being marinated by my tears. I finally finished the bowl, sniffling as I moved to the tiny sink which was barely holding it together. I washed and dried the bowl, stuffing it in the cardboard before wiping my face. I hoped that crying session was enough because I had tutoring sessions in a few minutes. I would not have survived without my English tutoring jobs. I had spent the last of my savings buying a good computer, microphone, and a desk so I could apply to teach English online. It was bringing in enough money to support myself and send to my brother for Blue. But I had to take in more students now, I had to prepare for August.

  • HIS SECRET WIFE   140. BELOW ROCK BOTTOM

    Three months later“Ruth, it’s busy tonight, join the kitchen.” “Okay.” I closed the ledger and pushed up from the chair in my little stuffy corner office. I pushed my hair up, slipping my ribbon to hold it together and wrapped the tail into a tight bun. I switched the short heels for my socks and sneakers which I kept under my table for nights like these. I turned the corner, seeing tonight’s crowd. The diner was packed full. Eddie wasn’t good with the books, when I showed him my high school results he promoted me to the accountant so he wouldn’t have to deal with the numbers and procurement. The pay bump wasn’t much but I did not have to deal with the irritating customers. I was very irritable and preferred being left alone all day long anyway. Thank God for Maggie’s cooking skills. It made it easy for me to get a job. If someone had told me four years back that I would end up where I was, I would have laughed my ass off. Getting into the busy kitchen, I took over the fryer. I
