Kim stood there staring“Kim..." I called her softly, her shoulders jerked and she turned to me.I nodded towards the door gesturing for her exit and she shut her mouth and smiled nervously.“Yes." She said and she turned away, stealing glances at Casper as she left, she shut the door slowly and gently.“Loretta, I don't know where to begin."“You can start by telling me what brought you here."“I can't get you out of my mind, every passing second you're haunting me."“That's your problem, not mine."He scoffed and sat down on the chair for guests.“Please, I.. I'm sorry." His eyes were brimming with tears.The almighty Casper Jones was crying.Holy fuck.I turned away from him because the sight was making my toes curl and also I was sad, out of sympathy I might forgive him.“Casper, I'm sorry but I'm fine without you. I was stupid to think that I had a chance with you anyways, you have tons of girls on your wait list."“Please Loretta, I want you and not them, please take me back."I
“what happened, are you still angry at him for kissing Emma?." I asked, the next expression that crossed his face was that of pain, like physical pain“Casper, are you alright?." I asked standing up“I'm fine." He plastered a fake smile on his face.“Yesterday... Emma and Robert they had sex and today, she found out he's engaged to get married. I tried to warn her about him but I guess experience tells more than words. I'm actually going over from here to Wave's house to see how she's doing..."“Oh my gosh, Tonya..."“Yeah, Tonya. "“I've met her once."Casper nodded but I don't think he heard me.“He didn't want to get married to her, Casper, you should understand."“But he proposed and he had the heart to lead my sister to his bed."“He didn't want to propose, he loves Emmaline with his soul, he did it because of Tonya's dad was dying."“Loretta I don't care why he did it, I don't. The fact is that he broke Emmaline's heart, and I can't stop telling myself that I failed to protect h
Today was the day I got sold Into a contract marriage to a billionaire, but I don't know it yet, I am still asleep. WHACK!.I felt the sharp slap on my back and I jumped from the my spot. I saw that it was my aunt, she was standing in front of me with a big smile on her face. I was taken aback, it was unusual for Aunt Lein to smile at me. I wondered if I was still dreaming. “What are you doing, you're still asleep, we have a guest, get ready!." Aunt Lein told me.I was shocked. Normally, when my aunt had guests over she never lets me show my face because I am not needed at all, unless in doing chores and all the manual labour. I wondered why she wanted me to see a guest.I climbed down from my bed." Get dressed!." Aunt Lein ordered before she left my bedroom. I quickly obeyed, a long time ago I learnt that failure to obey would amount to dire consequences. I did not want to get into trouble today.I ran into the bathroom and after a few minutes I had put on a dress that was guest
“Mis-mister Sh-aw-n." I said, it was unbelievable.“What are you doing?." I asked him even though I already knew the answer, I was still going to ask because the truth was scary and bitter, I would rather choose to wake up in a manhole than to wake up to this.“Aren't you my wife?." Mr Shawn asked me and he turned me around to lay me on my belly, he pinned me once again in that position. It was until the drops of tears slipped past my eyes that I realized I was crying. I mentally slapped myself for letting Mr Shawn hear me cry.He undid the lace rope that held my night gown and he turned me around again like I was a mannequin he was undressing.My eyes were closed because even if they were open, they would be useless in the pitch dark room. His hard hands held my left breast, I froze...I felt his hand caress them and I started whimpering in his hold. “Please, I'm not ready to do this..." I pleaded to him. THUD!It was the sound of the closing door, I opened my eyes in confusion. I
Imagine the weight of being married to a cold hearted man. You must not know what it feels like, do you?. I mean, you must have heard it somewhere 'cold hearted billionaire ' but this was me witnessing it first handedly!.The clock struck One in a violent chime. One AM, the world outside is dead and I'm half way to my own death. It has been four hours since Mr Shawn asked me to go to my room.For four hours, I had sat and waited for him and I dare not fall asleep. I did not want him to sneak up on me like he did last night, I did not have the option of locking the door so I wouldn't anger him. I heard the door opening before I saw the light travelling from the lit hallway into my dark room. he turned on the light and both our eyes met, his were empty, mine were filled with fear. Mr Shawn walked into my room and everything seemed to shrink as he entered.My hands began shaking again and I felt queasy.“Why did you get married to me?." I found myself asking the man who had said 'I d
“What you're asking for is impossible!." Mr Shawn said “No it's not, I have only one right, to terminate the contract after you have gotten your inheritance." I retorted.“If you leave now, you leave with nothing.. not even a single cent." He stated.“If I leave after a year, I leave with ten million dollars and a few properties but trust me, it would be my loss not yours." I managed to say through fear. " I have the right to tell you when to leave!." He said to me. I closed my eyes to take in some oxygen. He was absolutely correct, he had rights over me, I was some loose product, my life was not even mine. “Set me free, grant me my freedom. I would leave without taking a single cent, you have gotten your inheritance money, my aunt and uncle have enough to live a comfortable life, my parents debts have been wiped away. I have served my purpose, at least grant me freedom to do whatever I please with my little life." I told Mr Shawn, he fought with the odds and came to a conclusion.
“I'm Casper," The one with grey eyes said “This is my brother Wave," he said gesturing to the one with green eyes " That is our best friend Robert." These men were very handsome men, I thought that Mr Shawn was goodlooking but seeing them now, I wondered if it wasn't a crime to be so attractive. “Why did you save me?." I asked them, my voice was shaky. “I mean, you must have had more important things..." I said to them, I knew that I was not sounding grateful but internally I felt forever indebted to Robert for bringing me here from the park. All three of them exchanged glances and then the room fell really silent. I must have said something wrong because Casper's face was now pale, Robert's curvy lips were now hard and Wave's eyes lost it's softness.“I have paid your hospital bill. The doctors would give you some medicine to help you get better, you can stay till you feel better, they wouldn't charge you a dime." Robert said.Wave was the first to leave the hospital room.“But...
What I saw was nothing, just a lady that resembled Emmaline.We drove to the hospital, we all parked our cars in the parking lot. We got into the hospital and we asked the doctors if they had a record of where she lived.“Yes Sir, I'm going to get her address for you, it's in the reception." The doctor said to me.Finally there was a flicker of hope, we would find Emmaline.He came back with a piece of paper, he had illegibly scribbled down an address. I couldn't read it.“Let me take a look." Wave said taking the paper from my hand.“I'll go get the doctor." Casper said and before we could even stop him, he was out of the door.He returned with the doctor who apologized before writing it all over again.We set out to the address he gave us. We got to a house, it was a one storey building and it was painted white.Casper knocked on the door, there was no response. I joined him in knocking while Wave went to the back of the house.“Guys, I don't think there is anyone here." Wave said
