“You had what? Are you hurt?” Caspian’s hands fell on his mother’s shoulder and he checked through her body for any trace of injury. “I’m alright, son. You know your father wouldn’t dare touch me.”The woman peeled his hands from her body and intended to walk further into the house but before she could take more than a few steps, Anna rushed in front of her, stopping her in her tracks. “Th…the thing is that, the room isn’t free right now, Mother.” She didn’t know how to tell the women that Caspian and herself never shared a room. She would scream bloody murder. Luckily, Caspian stepped forward to help her. “I’ll find somewhere else for you to stay. Come.”Mrs Riordan shook her head. “Why are you going to go through the trouble of finding somewhere else when there is a good room here? Don’t tell me you don’t want me around?”“You know that’s not the case. Here won’t be that comfortable for you.”“I don’t mind. Besides, I’m here to take care of you both. Get out of my way, I’ll take
“What do you mean?” Mrs. Riordan’s face fell. “You don’t have to be shy, you know. I mean, I have a feeling it’s going to happen soon. Look at all those hickeys on her body. You can’t tell me a baby isn’t going to…”“Mother.”“What? I’m only telling the truth.”Caspian looked away, looking for ways to avoid the topic about babies with his mother. As if hearing his pleas, the door of the room pushed open and Anna walked in carrying sandwiches and a cup of coffee in a tray. She walked to their side and placed the tray on the bedside table which Caspian brought before the woman. “Have something to eat first, mother. I’ll be right back.” He passed Anna a last look and made his way out of the room, heading back into his. Once he left, Anna turned, intending to run away from the prying eyes of the woman but who was she kidding? There was no way the woman would let her leave. She called on hers “Anna, where are you going? You should keep me company for a while.”“Of course. I wasn’t going
Anna’s fist clenched as she resisted the urge to turn around and pull the hair of Billy and give her a piece of her fist. How dare she say those words to her without remorse. That Caspian no longer wanted her? Only the thought alone was enough to have her moving to her bed and kicking on the frame severally until her legs hurt. She groaned. Just a few words with Billy and it already ruined her mood. The girl really was a joyous killer. Letting out a frustrated sigh, she made her way out of the room, stopping in her tracks when she found Billy in front of Caspian’s room, perhaps about to go in. Before she could, Anna stormed toward her and grabbed her by the sting of her flimsy peach dress. She turned.“You don’t take lessons, do you?” She kept her voice down so their conversation didn’t leak to the other side. “Billy, this is rude.”“Get your hands off.” She shrugged her hands off her. “You don’t have to act like my mother or try to scold me.”“Since she’s not doing a good job, I sho
“On the couch? In my room. Did you forget that this is my room? And as for being a gentleman.” He looked her over from her head down. “We both know I’m not.”“I’m not sharing a bed with you.”“Whether or not you want to sleep on the bed, it’s up to you. It’s either you share or you have the couch to yourself. Choose,” Caspian offered. Anna's breath increased as she glared at her husband. It was the first conversation that they were having after the previous night. The previous night was a mistake for her, at least this time. She still remembered how easily she got wet and how easily she agreed to Caspianms attempt for sex. Gosh, she still remembered the memories vividly, and each time she thought about it, it only angered her further. “You’re so annoying, ugh.” She let go of his arm. “I wasn’t so annoying when you were screaming on my cock last night, was I? I wonder what changed.”She slapped his chest, pushing him backward before making her way into the bed. She laid on the othe
In no time, they both fell asleep but not without Anna passing Caspian his pillows and putting one in between them. In the dead of the night, the sound of Caspian’s groans caused Anna to force her eyes open. She hurriedly sat on the bed and stared at the man next to her, her eyes widening in panic at the sweat that broke out in his bare chest and the groans that he let out, plus the trembling of his entire body. She quickly threw the pillow between them aside and moved over to his side. She held his shoulders and shook him severally. “Caspian? Caspian.” She became sure that he was having a nightmare as Caspian didn’t respond to her call, instead, his groans grew louder and his breath faster. She grabbed his shoulder and shook him faster. “Caspian, it’s just a nightmare, wake up.” Sweat broke out on her forehead in panic and her attempt to wake him up intensified. Finally, his hands shot forward and wrapped around her arms, pulling her to his chest, and before she knew it, he
Anna rushed toward her father the moment she stepped into the hospital room. She sat on the chair at his side of the bed and held his hand in her palm. “Are you alright, Father?” The man slowly opened his eyes to look at her, his eyes weakly staring at her. Anna’s heart broke as she stared at the man, lying weakly in a hospital bed with different medical machines connected to him. She’d been having lunch with her mother-in-law at the penthouse when she got a call that her father was in the hospital. According to the doctor, he had a sudden heart attack and was rushed to the hospital immediately. Anna had thought that she stopped caring for any member of her family but after the doctor announced the situation to her, she realized that if there was anyone she cared about in the family, even though it was a little, it was her father. Although he’d watched her become a victim of his wife’s abuse for years without saying anything, she understood him a little. He was also a victim
“You’re back,” Mrs. Riordan announced as Anna stepped away from the front door. “I was just about to prepare dinner, you know.” Anna nodded, stepping closer to the woman who began making her way to the kitchen. “I’ll join you, Mother.” “That would be very sweet if you. Here.” She handed Anna a stack of washed vegetables and a knife while she took out some potatoes to peel. Three minutes in, the woman staggered backward, holding her head in her hands. Anna immediately rushed toward her. “Mother, are you okay?” She helped the woman sit on a chair and offered her a glass of water. “Are you okay? Do you need the doctor?” “I…I don’t. I’m just a little bit tired. I’ll be fine.” “You should go have a rest. Come on, you should go to your room.” “Who then is going to help you in the kitchen?” Anna stared at the vegetables and potatoes on the island table. They’re a lot of work to do but she was a pro at it. It wasn’t the first time that she was cooking something like this. “I’ll take
Halfway through their meal, Anna felt a sharp pain travel to her abdomen, her tummy stretching in pain. She immediately sprang up from the chair. “Are you okay, dear?” Mrs. Riordan inquired, her voice laced with concern. “I’ll be right back.”She took to her heels, heading toward the room that she now shared with Caspian. Once she pushed the door closed behind her, she ran into the bathroom, her breath rough and ragged. It can’t be, right? She wasn’t going to have her period until next week. But as she checked, her face fell in disappointment at the bright red that stained her panties. She sighed in frustration at the pain that followed each time she took a breath. She wasn’t ready for the pain that came with her period, for the tears and lightheadedness that came with it. She wasn’t prepared for it at all. Unlike other girls out there, her period always seemed to almost take her life each time. The pain was incredible each time she sometimes wished that she was born as a male in
FOURTEEN MONTHS LATER! The hall erupted in a loud thunder of applause as Wendy kissed her newly wedded husband, more like devoured his face. Anna was sure her clap and scream were the loudest as the priest pronounced the new couple, husband and wife. She hooted and applauded and made all the noises with Dali, Mia, and a few of their friends. They were all dressed in purple bridesmaid dresses, white heels, and a white butterfly hair clip on their heads. Well, it was all her idea. She’d practically planned the wedding. Wendy’s wedding came as a shock to everyone. Just months ago, she’d introduced them to Tory, and now, he was her husband. Their romance has caught everyone off guard and their sudden decision to tie the knot left no time to waste. Anna had single-handedly planned the wedding and she was the reason Wendy had chosen the pretty wedding dress that she wore. It literally made her look like a fairy tale princess. It was a dream wedding according to Wendy. Her big day. On A
Jason flipped the backpack and let the items in it scatter on the floor, the sound sending chills down Anna’s spine. She gasped as her eyes trailed from the thick white rope to sharp knives and then to a gas mask that lay limply on the floor. “What are you trying to do, Jason? Don’t you dare…”“Shut the fuck up.” He stormed toward her, bent to her size, and gripped her chin so hard that she heard the sound of her bones cracking and she let out a sharp cry. “I’m the one who has the upper hand here. I’m the one who should speak and not you, you fucking cunt.”“Ahh,” she cried when he gripped her chin tighter and forced her to gaze at him, tears beginning to stream down her cheek.“You think you can ruin my life and get away with it? You fucking ruined everyone’s lives and if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have killed Elle!”Anna froze. Her eyes widened, Jason’s words echoing in her ears over and over again. She shook her head in denial as tears burst from her eyes. She didn’t want to b
“Fuck, is she dead?” Jason gasped as he stepped toward Elle and checked her pulse with his fingers. He froze and returned his gaze to the blonde. “She’s dead. Oh, fuck.” He clasped his hands around his mouth and rose from the floor, his eyes staring at the blonde in shock. “She was carrying my baby, Lia.”Lia rushed to his side in desperation and wrapped her hands around his arms. She didn’t carry the panic that Jason did. “Jason, if it's a baby that you want, I can give you one. Just forget about her, after all, she gave us a lot of trouble. It’s good riddance.”“What do I say to my mother? She spent a lot on the wedding and now, her daughter-in-law and grand baby are dead.” His legs trembled tremendously. “We’ll tell everyone that she slipped. She slipped while bathing. Wait..” their eyes widened at the sound of siren from outside. “Is that the police?”“Police? Who called them? Do you think it’s for us?”“Babe, do something.” Jason pushed the girl aside, threw his shirt and trous
The house was usually noisy. If they weren’t fighting, they were cooking foods that made her stomach churn and if not that, they were waiting for her with their hands on their hands on their hips. Fucking pathetic family! Now that she knew she might not live longer after birthing her baby, it was her turn to make their lives a living hell. As for her mother-in-law, she would make sure that the woman died way before her. Poisoning her tea wasn’t a bad idea, right? After all, she dared to hit her several times, forced her to stop eating much, and called her all sorts of names. She deserved to die. Elle held onto the paper tighter coupled with the small pack of poison that she’d bought on her way to the house and she stepped deeper into the house. It was only after she got to the room that she shared with Jason did she realized that indeed, there was no one at home. She dumped her bag on the floor and took exhausted steps that led her to the bed. She slumped on it, her breathing rough
For the rest of the day, Anna watched Caspian walk and other times took a tour of his office and the company and after the close of day, they both made their way out of the company hand in hand. “How about my car?” She asked when he opened the front passenger’s side of his favorite white Rolls Royce for her, the one that she’d stolen on the first day they met in this life. “I’ll ask someone to get it home.” Shrugging, Anna slipped into the car and he closed the door after her and walked around to get to the driver’s side. Just as the car began to move through the road, she felt a bile rise up her throat. Her hands immediately flew to her chest. Caspian cocked his head to the side, worry laced in his voice as he spoke. “What is wrong?”“I…I think I’m going to puke.” She brought a hand around her mouth and gestured with her hand that he stopped the car. The car immediately swerved to the side and stopped. “Puke, why?”She didn’t bother to answer him and opened the door and threw he
“The couple are hilarious as fuck,” Dali laughed with Anna as they both jumped into the car. “Did you see their faces? They looked like they were forced to get married.” Anna started the car and drove out of the wedding premises, her laughter all the while not dying down. “They were clearly forced.” It was clear as day. “And that gift, she’s going to be shocked as hell when she finds out.” It was her intention to get Elle to find out that the husband she just married was a stank ass useless bastard who couldn’t keep his dick in check. She’d only asked someone to trail the both of them a few days ago and to her surprise- not really a surprise though, he came back with pictures and videos of Jason’s infidelity which she printed out, boxed, and tied as a gift to Elle. What kind of man would cheat on the day before his wedding to a girl half as beautiful as his wife-to-be? Anna wasn’t going to act like it wasn’t disgusting to her like Elle was ugly or unattractive. She had a beauty th
When Anna was told that someone had to steal her ill fate for her to live longer, she didn’t think that she wouldn’t do a single work to get the person to steal her fate. All she had to do was push them together and fold her hands to watch the drama unfold before her eyes. It was the best part of the whole traveling back in time and revenge schemes. To sit back and witness the very people who’d caused her so much pain in the past steal her evil fate from her. It was, in its own way, a form of justice. Today, she watched as Elle took the part, walking down the aisle of the same hall where she’d gotten married to Jason in the past. Not only was her dress and jewelry identical, the hall too, its decorations and everything seemed identical. The man too.She sat at the back of the hall and her eyes burned with unshed tears as she watched the newlywed couple say their vows and pledge to love each other reluctantly. She knew the truth. Each word was a lie, a carefully constructed facade.
“The food,” Anna whined, holding his head away when their kiss became even more intense. She said that yet her legs wrapped around his waist, pulling him further into her to feel the hard rod that poked her. “The food can wait. I’ll reheat it after this.”He wound his hands on her ass and lift her up from the table. He pressed her against himself and caught her lips in his again as he began to lead them both to their bedroom. A kick from him sent the door opening as he got there and he gently dropped her on her feet. “You have five seconds to get to the bed before I lose my shit.” He began taking off his tie and kicking his shoes off his feet. Instantly, Anna nodded and hurried to the bed. But before she could get to the end, he caught up to her and threw her on the bed before getting in after her, looming over her. With his hands, he tugged off the top of her jumpsuit until the material bunched up on her waist. “No bra?” He raised a brow, his eyes on her perky red nipples that sto
Anna had never driven as fast as she did today in her entire life. She didn’t realize that her desire to see her husband was so strong until she got into her car and began the journey to their house. She sped past the cars on the road, realizing for the first time that she was at least a bit of an expert in driving. In a few minutes, she arrived at their private garage at the apartment building, parking her car amongst the others. She noticed that Caspian’s collection of cars had increased over the past few weeks. Her man was crazy about getting new cars every now and then. She wasted no time in throwing herself out of the car and raced into the building, to the elevator. Soon, she got to the door of their penthouse and swiped her card to open it. “Why is everywhere so dark?” A smile stretched on her lips when she opened the door only to be welcomed by darkness. Well, she hadn’t expected it. She felt something on her feet at the first step that she took and bending a bit to the f
