Winnie went into the bathroom before splashing cold water on her face and washing her neck. She bit into her lower lip to stop herself from breaking into a cry. She looked at herself in the mirror and at his fingerprints on her neck. She brushed it with her hand in irritation but she knew it would not go away. She rushed out and grabbed her makeup box before removing a concealer. She started to put it on her neck to hide marks. She glanced at the doorway checking out if Cassius was coming but he was nowhere in sight. She gave the last touch to her makeup, looking at herself in the mirror. Everything looked fine to her. She was about to move toward bed but then…“Fuck him! Fuck him!” Cassius barged inside and banged his fist on the wall, growling wildly like an injured animal. “He’s not ready to fucking listen to me. He just fucked up! I hate him! How could he do that!” Winnie watched her husband banging and thrashing his anger on walls, chairs and lastly on his cell phone. She would
Winnie tiptoed into the backyard where Ethan was waiting for her. He was in the same black suit and skull mask on his face. A sinister smile pulled across his lips when he saw Winnie coming out, scared. “I know you would do that for us my dear sister.” He moved toward her but Winnie backed away from him, shivering and sweating profusely. “Just don’t come close to me!” She warned him, clutching a blueprint against her chest. “Go away.” “If I don’t come near you, how will I get that blueprint, sister?” He slowly stepped towards her, making her heart race under her chest. “First you’ll listen to me carefully.” She swallowed hard, stepping back from him. “You won't burn the mansion.” “You know fucking well that I’ll not be interested in your damn chit chat,” he growled, getting impatient with her behaviour. “Now hand me that damn blueprint, bitch!” “I won’t…” She stuttered, making her way back into the house but he lunged at her and grabbed her hair, pulling her toward him. She screa
The particles of the gate blew through the air. Cassius quickly covered Noelle and Xavier’s bodies with his, bending down on the ground. “Fuck! They are here." He breathed out, glancing at the doorway. Winnie was nowhere in sight. “We need to get out of here.” Noelle looked at the mess in the living room. Slowly, men in black uniforms spread across the room with their guns. “They are many…” she whispered. “How do we get out of here?"“We don’t have time to think, let’s go now." They slowly crawled to the ground so that nobody could see them. Xavier was crying, but Cassius made him stop with his favorite stuffed toy. She walked downstairs, tiptoeing and covering their mouths with their hands. “Where are they?” A man demanded. “Don’t tell me you just tell them about your truth, bitch!” Cassius looked at the living room and saw Winnie just standing in front of a blonde man who was tall and sturdy. Cassius glanced at his men and counted them quickly, and there were around ten people st
His hand wrapped in her hair, yanking her face up to him to look into his angry eyes. "Tell me where the fuck is he?" He growled, making her shudder in fear. "Tell me now!""I..I..won't..." she whimpered due to a sharp pain shot through her skull.He grabbed his pistol and pressed it right on her temple, snarling, "Are you going to tell me or you wish for death?!""I want to die..." she cried out, begging him to kill her and let her free from the pain she had been suffering for a few years.Anger roared through him as he pressed the gun in her temple wanting nothing more than to kill that bitch right that moment but something snapped inside him when his eyes fell on her body, and a cruel smile curved his lips.He met her fearful gaze while sneering, "Not before getting a taste of you!" **********
“Hurry! Get them ready as soon as possible,” my aunt growled at me while pointing at chopped vegetables that were sitting on the counter, uncooked. She walked up to the pot, smelling the meat that was prepared by me for the Christmas party. “Where are the starter?”Shit!In such a hurry, I forgot to prepare the tomato and broad bean salad that was her favorite.“Where the hell is the starter? The guests will be here at any moment. What’re you doing!” She yelled into my face.I bowed my head down, fixing my gaze to the floor. “S-Sorry…” I mumbled. “I forgot to prepare.….”Before I could complete myself, she slammed her hands against the counter, jolting me. “What did I tell you? I warned you that this is your last chance. Your single mistake may take you and your useless brother out of this house!” “Please, ma’am…” I whispered, clutching the fabric of my apron because of the terror that was gripping my chest. She was my father’s stepsister, but she had never allowed me and my brothe
I wore a pair of black trousers with a white long sleeve top and a black jacket. These clothes were the finest clothes I have ever had in my wardrobe. Since I didn’t have enough money for shopping used my old clothes and Marina didn’t bother to give me a single penny.I pulled my hair into a tight ponytail and kept my face natural since I didn’t have makeup. I slipped into the black shoes that were gifted by my brother on my twenty-first birthday. He never missed a chance to make me happy. Checking my appearance in the mirror one last time, I opened the door. As long as I got out, a storm of loud music hit me and made me jump. What the hell! I went around the banister and more voices and laughter coming from the living room. What’s happening? I looked down and found many people were sitting in the living room, laughing and drinking. What are they doing here? Walking down, I looked across the hall and spotted Edgar sitting next to the blonde. His arm wrapped around her waist as s
It had been more than a month since that incident happened, but I couldn’t find a clue why Luther killed Mr. Carpenter. He was innocent. After that day I searched for everything about Luther and ended up shocked.Mr. Luther Spraggins was the owner of one of the leading companies across the world. This company was a leader in consulting digital services, software development, and digital marketing. But those were the things only for the show. What they do, supplying illegal weapons, drugs, and gambling. Even Luther had owned several pubs and clubs across the country. Despite that, he was not a mafia or gang leader.Ugh! Strange, isn’t it?I didn’t know whether I could bring Daisy justice. But I wanted Luther to be punished. How cruelly he had killed her husband? She still couldn’t believe that her husband had died. She was still in shock. Whenever I thought about her and those children, my heart ached.Shaking away her thoughts, I searched for further information about Luther. My eyes w
“Promise me, you’ll be safe,” my brother said.I smiled. “I’ll be safe, Ned.”Suddenly, my car crashed into something, sending me to the edge of the bridge. I peeked at the river below and then something happened I never expected. I was in the water, drowning deeper and deeper. I threw my arms and legs desperately to get out of it. I was fighting for every last bit of air, but all I could see was water. I gasped and gasped and gasped……My eyes shot open, and a scream escaped my mouth. I gasped, my breath labored and my heart was pounded harder. It took me a few minutes to realize; I was not in the water. No water! Only darkness, it was darkness everywhere. Moonlight was the only source of light through the small window.Where am I?The last thing I remembered, I was about to fall into the river, but someone yanked me out of the car at the last second.But who?Suddenly, the door creaked open, and the light hit my face. I winced because of the bright light piercing directly into my eye
