LOGIN"If my body pays for it, I can part with my virginity," Nicki thought, seated right before a pimp, with her future in her trembling hands. It was supposed to be a one off deal. But the tides swept her into the stranger's arms a second time, and then a third, locked by the seal of marriage. While she wants their marriage to remain a secret, Aaron is too possessive to let her be. Will they reach a compromise? Just how far is he willing to go inorder to keep what's his? Their story calls, will you answer?
View MoreThe request burnt on my eardrums, like hot coals. My gaze hardened, jaw clenched and eyes frozen in space. Numbed and speechless, her words re-echoed in my head. It felt like fate itself is telling me that I can't handle what's coming. I can't stop our eventual separation. The muscles around my heart tightens. I look up and shut my eyes. I have to tell her, but each time our gaze lock, and she looks at me tenderly, I find every reason not to.I can't. But I have to let her go.“ Maybe we should…”“ What?” Her lips parted in a low shallow gasp. Her eyes scans mine with critical attention and confusion. She shakes her head, tears creating a mist over her eyes, which blurred in time and drop. That one drop. That single drop drove a sword straight into my heart. She cried. This time, it is because of me.I look at the tears I caused but I can't go back.“ You will have half of everything I own. Every penny…”“ Stop!” She hushed me, hands suspended, while her gaze pulled away from me, sc
Agonizing silence swallowed both of our voices, until the thud of the boots of the patrol guards could be heard clearly in the room.“ You are married to her?” He queried, eyes almost popping out of their shells. “ Oh, my god!" He gasped, with his right palm over his mouth, stunned into silence. “ For how long now?”“ Not up to a year,” I droned, trying not to imagine the girl I can proudly call my soulmate being an infiltrator. An insider with a motive of her own: revenge. “ No, it can not be Nicki.” I said to myself. “ She wouldn't hide the truth from me if she knew. My marriage can not be a product of her scheme. Nicki isn't made of such a material.“ Are you going to confront her?”“ No!” I cut in, more certain about her innocence than I could ever be. “ It was just fate. She grew up a beautiful soul thanks to her grandmother. She doesn't remember the boy, but she remembers the accident. If she had known, the Nicki I know wouldn't have married me even for all the treasures in the
“ What's the matter, Aaron?” My voice hollowed out, fright crawling into the centre of my heart. Something feels too wrong… so off about him. I clutch the sides of his shirt, closing in like it could make him open up to me. Lips sealed shut, he stared blankly into space.“ Honey,” I called in a panic, my heartbeat flying over the roof of my heart. He shakes his head, like he wants to dislodge something from his head or make sense of something that no longer made sense.“ How small were you when this happened?” He queried, his face completely drained of colour.I made a sign with my hand right up to my waist. “ About this small,” I replied, clutching the side of my chiffon dress. (Aaron)I had taken the detour. I took this path to revisit the sight of the accident. It's still fresh in my memory. Everytime I close my eyes, I still see her. I'm wondering how she has eluded me when Nicki suddenly requested to be accompanied somewhere. I lifted a brow. Not at the request but the clouds ho
(Nicki)“ Aren't you so sweet, my darling husband?” I smirked. “ I presume you are beginning to seek an escape. To be rid of me somehow.” I tilt my head quizzically, wearing a cynical glare. He pressed his lips tight, eyes roaming everywhere without focusing on a given place.“ Who is she?”“ Who is she?” He returned the question, brows furrowed in a daze, denial wrinkling his forehead into lines that struggled to touch each other.“ You're suggesting a divorce. There has got to be someone out there…someone sexier…hang on, I'm still talking…”“ You said your grandfather wants you to divorce me. I was merely asking if…”“ If it's what I want so you can use the wholesome opportunity to get yourself a fresher pasture.”“ Forget I ever asked, alright.” His voice lowered in a fake panic. I punched his chest and looked away, my attention drifting off to where the waters curve in the distance. After a long while, my voice cut into the silence, low and sullen. “ I wish there was another way.
