You husband snatcher.I can't believe you could easily have fun with someone else's man" she yelled even more when a lady stepped into the restroom to see the commotion.Her eyes travelled from Chloe to me."Hold your tongue. I snatched no one from anyone.Stop going around throwing allegations at me" I retorted despite the stare from the woman thrown at me.In no time, a few ladies stepped in as well.Their giggling came to a halt on seeing the face off.It was then Chloe began to fake her tears."How could you be so happy going out with a married man.Have you no shame at all" she cried out.What started as curiosity turned to little murmurs."Really Chloe? I'm so ashamed of you right now.Stop your stupid act.I won't entertain it" with my utterance, I picked up my bag and left the restroom.I knew the pictures that would be painted in their minds but honestly, I don't care.I won't
72Eventually, the night of the gala arrived.Up on the silvery surface of the mirror, my reflection was casted on it.The gown was an ethereal beauty and honestly, I must say that I looked really beautiful.The make up done on my face complimented by beauty.Throughout the day just as Lucian had said, he was away probably on some important business.Today was a bore and somehow I did kinda miss the light teasing from him.The moment I took my purse a beep came through my phone promting me to look down at the screen.It was a message from Lucian.'You dressed yet?' he asked. A short reply of 'Yes' was sent to him.The order end went silent for a while and when it felt like I won't be receiving any more texts from him, I took one last glance at the mirror.Seems like I'll be going to the gala alone.'I'd probably meet him there' I thought.Alighting from the staircase, I made my way out the door expecting to see the driver ready and waiting but instead, I was surprised to see Lucian pu
70Over at the mall, Clarissa stepped back into the dressing room to take off the clothes.Her hands reached for her back band holding it, she tried to zip it down but only appeared to be stuck.And moreover it was starting to get exhausting the more her attempts proved futile.She didn't know how long she tried but relief washed over her when the curtains pulled open and a figure she assumed to be the staff from earlier stepped in."Oh thank goodness you're here. I've been trying to take the dress off and it seems to be stuck.Could you help me?" She questioned.At first there was silence.Lucian who had walked in didn't say a word but only went on to make her believe he was the female staff.With a stride he stepped behind her, hands on the zipper and with a gentle tug pulled it down revealing her bare back.Somehow the sight of her back made him gulp down nothing.Relief washed over Clarissa's face on seeing this."Thank you" she muttered with a smile but no response came instead t
69Immediately, I pushed him off me, my palms meeting his cheeks once more and just like before,, he crossed the distance pulling me closer to him.Against my struggles, he smashed his lips on mine.This time it wasn't gentle.It was rather possessive as his tongue slithered into my mouth.He wasn't kidding.Why couldn't he just let me have my way?Just once let me do what I want.Just then, for once in a long time, I didn't struggle, my hands on his chest ceased to push him away.I simply let him kiss me.It was wrong but I did it anyway.And Lucian seeing the lack of resistance, tilted his head even further as he rose his hands to my chin.But suddenly, I pushed him aside to vomit the alcohol.It took a few minutes before I was done and with Lucian standing there, a wave of embarrassment washed over me.I wasn't feeling to well. Beneath me, my feets threatened to give out and before I could fully stand, my world blurred and I passed out.***Voices sounded in the room. Inaudible. Di
68The tension in the air turned sour. A scream of frustration tore through my throat."Clarissa..." Lucian uttered taking a step close to me."Don't! Don't fucking say anything and fucking don't come close to me" I uttered suddenly feeling claustrophobic."Would you have left if you lost?" I asked once more."No" he replied. Fuck you.I muttered In a low inaudible tone as I guessed head read my lips and know. Utterly annoyed, I left the place.***Lucian watched as Clarissa paced round the foyer, emotions clearly bublling up within her."And if you loose? Would you have left if you lost?" Clarissa asked. He didn't need to ponder to answer. He didn't need to lie. And so he simply said what it always would have been."No" his voice was firm and carried out clearly. No, because he wouldn't have left. He definitely wouldn't accept defeat so suddenly. He couldn't bear Clarissa and his daughter living so peacefully with another man who isn't him.That would simply kill him."Fuck y
67That night I was restless as hell as I could not get a wink of sleep probably from the fact that I was sharing a room Lucian Sharing a room or perhaps it was because of the continuous tapping on the keyboard from Lucian that kept me awake.In no time, morning came.A yawn slipped through my lips and blinking my eyes open, I was met with Lucian's absence.I had thought he'd return any moment soon prompting me to take an early bath.Soon, I was fully dressed. A knock on the door drew my attention.Walking towards it, I opened it to see the staff on the other end."Room service" he uttered directing his gaze to the cart that had various delicacies on it."Oh..." Bringing it into the room, he dished it out and before he could leave, he added."A certain Mr Lucian is waiting for you down at the lobby. He awaits your presence" he relayed before leaving the room.Rolling my eyes, I sat down wanting to devour the meal before me but for some reason I seemed to have lost my appetite.Taking
1"I WANT A DIVORCE"The cold words of Lucian left his lips. There was no hesitation of any sort as he spoke neither was there a smile on his face.His words were bold. Direct. And simple."What?..." My voice cracked as I stared upon his reflection on the bold screen of the laptop.It's been two m
42Early the next morning, I had woken up to the sound of doorbell which woke me up from my quiet reverie.With slow, groggy steps, I approached the door but on Pulling it open, I found the porch completely empty. The morning air was still, but resting on the ground was a lush bouquet of flowers.
3FIVE YEARS LATER My eyes stared out the window taking it's exquisite view.It was awesome how the world could seem so small from up here.The flight attendant voice boomed from above drawing my gaze away from the window.Fortunately, it was an announcement to inform us on our arrival to NY city
2"I WISH YOU HELL!" I yelled as I plunged the knife into his chests. Seeing Lucian's face masked in extreme pain filled me with the relief I needed but it was only temporary because I'm the next moment, my hand shook with fright.The hall was in utter chaos as loud scream filled the lips of everyo
