*Lorenzo POV*
I was going through my note books, where I pen down the curriculum of the activities I will be giving my trainees for this new session."Bang!" My room door was slammed open, revealing the average figure of my wife.
Seeing her fierce green eyes, I knew at once that it would not end well."Lorenzo! How dare you humiliate me!" She barked and slammed the bank card she was holding on the table.
"What is it again, Bianca?" I snap at her."You're good for nothing, asshole! You don't have any money, and yet you allowed me to go to my friend's party with a moneyless card!" She barked."Listen, Bianca, I am trying my best, okay? I haven't been paid my salary yet. Try and understand, please." I tried to reason with her."You penniless man! How long have you been telling me that? Same old story all over again! I'm tired of you!"
"Can't you just be like other men? Who tends to their wife's needs? All you do is parade yourself in this house with your poor coaching job." She taunted, making my hard muscles tense up in anger.
"Aren't you ashamed of yourself? When people were busy inheriting wealth from their families and building empires, what were you doing? --" I cut her off with my response, "I was busy chasing you, my love.""Oh, shut the fuck up! Don't even dare involve me in your miserable life; get me money to live, man!" She snorted and stormed out of the room.
I pinched the bridge of my nose. This woman is such a pain in the ass. We have been married for over five solid years, but still we live like cats and rats.
Although our relationship wasn't like this at first, she was a very lovely lady who worked hard in her father's banking firm, but as soon as her family went bankrupt, she completely changed.
All she does is nag here and there, parting, smoking, and fooling around with her friends. I tried to talk her out of it, but all to no avail; in fact, she kept getting worse every single day.I released a soft hiss before focusing back on what I was doing.-----&&&&&-------
I twisted my neck immediately as I walked into my house, which was a well-furnished bungalow."Hi wify!" I cried for Bianca, who was seated on a large sofa, eating popcorn while watching the 'Black Adam', movie.
"Sweety?" I called again but got no response. I shake my head because I know she was hearing me but chose to ignore me.
I decided to let her be and walked upstairs to our room. Besides, today's work was really hectic because new students had been admitted to the institution.After freshening up, I wore a casual outfit, which is a polo shirt paired with a baggy indoor pant.I applied the gel to my full blonde undercut curl hair before using a comb to slightly maintain it in place.
I exited my room and began to stroll back to the living room. I am so famished, so I need to eat something before retiring for the day.Reaching the table, I found no dishes there. I walked inside the kitchen and didn't see any food there either; everything was empty.With a deep frown in my face, I stormed back to the living room. "Bianca, why is there no food in this house?" I shouted at her but got no reaction.It causes my anger to increase. I don't like laying my hands on women because if I did, they would die, but that doesn't mean I am weak; I know where to strike and when to let go."I am talking to you women! Answer me!" My outburst came, but this damn woman didn't bulge.She finally rotated her eyes to my direction with an irritated expression, saying, "If not that the Bible says, be good to your husband, I wouldn't have listened to you or answered you." She sneered.
"All you know is to come back from work and then start barking like a dog. Did you keep a housekeeper in this house? Do I look like someone who should be doing house chores? Please go and sleep; there is no food for a lazy and incompetent man like you." That got me really hard, and I felt the urge to choke her to death."Are you sure you are portraying the attributes of a Christian wife? Because the Bible clearly says that wives should submit and respect their husbands, but you are doing the exact opposite." I corrected her."Oh, please, just go away; your presence makes me sulk!" Get me money if you want peace, Lorenzo!" She snorted."So this is what it's all about, huh! Money?" I shook my head and walked out of the spot.I reached my room and went to change into an outdoor outfit before I killed someone tonight.Getting out of the house, I climbed on my power bike and rode out of the residence, heading to the pub.
As soon as I reached there, I parked in a safe corner, walked into the pub, and went to take a seat at a corner.
My friend was already seated there. "You asked to see me? That's strange. So wassup?" Jerry inquiry."Buddy I'm not fine at all; that woman is pushing me seriously!" I ruffled my curly hair, letting out my frustration.
I heard him hiss before saying," I still don't know why you guys haven't divorced yet; do you want one of you to die before you separate?"
"You have been in this brain-draining marriage of yours for years! "Look at yourself, always sulking; you are slowly losing it, man!" He sneered in annoyance.I release a sharp breath before saying," I am giving her a chance to change; she wasn't like this before, so I'm hoping she will come around.""When!? That's all you've been hoping for, but all you keep getting is the bitterness part. Wake up, man! You have a life to live." He advised."Jerry, it's actually against my beliefs to divorce; the Bible doesn't support that." I let out my worries.
"Can you hear yourself? You are in the 21st century, where things have changed. Besides, did God say to you that you shouldn't live a happy life? Please don't pin your failure on God." He restored it.
"But i-" My phone suddenly vibrated, and the ID displayed the name of my manager."Oh, do you think I'm a poor and gentle guy? Nah, you haven't seen the beast part of me, dear; I am a secret feisty multi-billionaire! "
*Snow POV* Five months later..... I grin from ear to ear. Today will be a memorable day in my life, as I will be getting married to the man of my dreams. I can't believe I will soon be called Mrs. Snow Rogers. Sounds great, right?I pulled up my mermaid wedding gown to ease my steps, and with careful steps, my low heels clicked on the marble floor of the aisle. My mother was also beside me, smiling proudly as she guided me towards my husband-to-be. My eyes met with the bright chestnut eyes of my husband-to-be, and I smiled cockily at him. He was looking so manly and handsome in his tuxedo suit; he was smiling so lovely at me, pleasing my heart and warming it like never before. It still feels like a dream; I never thought I would marry my grumpy coach. "You are looking beautiful, my love," he said to me while taking my hands and leading me up to the alter. I smiled sheepishly at him; I was overwhelmed by joy. "You are not looking bad yourself; did you plan on seducing me on this hol
* Lorenzo POV*I was pacing back and forth in the police station while Snow's mother was seated on a bench close to the receptionist counter. She was crying while still calling Snow's phone, which was obviously not going through."No news! Are you people even doing your job?" I demand coldly, holding myself from punching the police officer. Right now, I am very furious, scared, and frustrated to the core."Sorry, Mr. Lorenzo, the suspect hasn't breathed out a word; I am not sure if he is even behind the girl's disappearance." The officer in charge made this known."That's bullshit! Fucking bullshit, now you go in there and torture him to death; make him speak!" I roared. When Snow's mother got through to me that Snow had been missing for hours, my hunch settled on her ex-boyfriend, Chase. I know he is the only one who can pull this string, so I got the police to arrest him, but it seems we are still stuck in the same spot."Mr. Lorenzo, please calm down and allow us to do our job.""T
*Snow POV*My eyes flutter open, followed by a pang of pain. I didn't know what happened; what I could only remember was that I was drugged by a stranger."Hello! Who is here?" I called out, using the last straw of my strength. My orbs studied the room in which I was placed; it felt more like a cell. My body was covered in dirt, and my legs were chained, leaving my body with only underwear and being placed on the cold floor. My mind felt fuzzy, but I tried to keep my eyes open. Whatever this is, it's very dangerous, and I can bet I'm not anywhere close to my house.After awhile, the door finally opened, and a masked figure entered, holding a plate of food."Who are you, and why am I here?" I questioned the guard but received no response from him; he just gestured for me to eat and left."God have mercy," I mumble in shaky breath. It didn't take long before I was fetched from the room, heading to God knows where. I simply followed them quietly till we got to a type of open bedroom and
*Snow POV*I dabbed my eyes as soon as Ella's body was laid to rest. Jace gave me a soft pat on the back, and I huffed, "She is gone!" I breathe out."Thank you for coming, Miss Snow!" Ella's husband said to me. I took his hand for a handshake. "Please don't mention; accept my deep condolences.""Alright guys, I need to be on my way." I said to Jace and Chris, sparing each of them a warm hug before exiting the burial ground. I took a cab, heading to Lorenzo's office. We haven't seen each other for some time now due to my mother's constant nagging.I walked into Lorenzo's office and saw the cops taking Bianca in handcuffs. "What happened?" I questioned Lorenzo worriedly."The bitch tried to stab me," Lorenzo breathed out, hyperventilating. With the look of things, he put up a good fight."Oh my god!" My hands flung up to my mouth, and I hugged him. "Hope you aren't hurt!?" I inquired nervously, scanning his body for any sort of wound."Don't worry, babe, I am fine. I will make sure th
*Snow POV*I pulled up my drawstring bag, looking at the notice board. Nikky, Tasha and Bella, The three witches' photos and full names were boldly pasted on it, along with the notice of their expulsion. I didn't mean to sound evil, but they got what they deserved: seducing coaches and blackmailing them, bullying people to join their stupid girl cult, and their circle of madness.I hissed and pulled away after feasting my eyes. Right now, I am sulking because I am going home to go and encounter that mother of mine. For a few days now, we have been leaving like cats and rats. She didn't miss any opportunity to throw a shade at me, telling me how much of a disappointment I am, but I don't let it get to me too much. I know it is her anger self-speaking, and she indeed has every right to be angry, but I don't regret my decision. No matter her tantrum, I am still going to have this baby, whether she approves of it or not."Oh goodness, not today!" I complained, seeing Lorenzo's ex-wife app
*Snow POV*My mother burst the door open after me. I clutch my hair backwards, emptying the contents in tummy into the sink. "Shit!" I grunt, turning the tap on, and then rinse my face."Snow! D-o not te-ll me--" she slurred her words, with a shock expression written all over her face."Yeah. What you had in mind is true; I'm pregnant." I made it known, leaning away from the sink. I rolled a small amount of tissue paper, then wiped my hands."What! How! How could you do this to me? To yourself!" She barked, clenching and unclenching her fist."After all I have done for you, you dare to do this!?" I huffed, rubbing my forehead. I seriously don't need this drama right now. "Mom, I am sorry; I honestly don't plan for this to happen.""Oh, shut it! What do you mean you didn't plan for this to open? Were you not the one who willingly opened your legs, or were you raped?""Yeah, you are right; I was the one who willingly opened my legs." I hissed.-"Oh baby girl, you don't know what you ha
