The soft silk sheets rustled as Alexandra stretched her arm to cuddle her husband. Her core was still sore from the slow-burning, passionate sex they had all night long. Letting out a groan, she buried her face into his neck which was specked with dark stubble. Oh, how she loved his beard. The rough texture was so satisfying to caress, and the feel of a stubbled cheek grazing her between her thighs was simply titillating.As she draped her long leg around his waist, a sharp, needle-like pain shot in her womb.She lifted the duvet and to her panic; she saw two blots of bloodstains on the sheets, mocking her. Her breath shriveled up in her throat and a malaise emerged in her womb.Swinging her legs to the floor, she rushed to the bathroom and removed her panties, and inserted her finger inside her, coating them with warm blood.“You will never be a mother.” The devil hissed, drawing out its forked tongue. “You will never get back what you’ve lost.”Her hand flew to her mouth to prevent
Their dilemma wasn’t over just yet. They had to gain the approval of one more person before their wedding ceremony, and that was Jonathan’s mother, Josephine.Alexandra insisted on building a better relationship with her upset mother-in-law. If Jonathan could impress her fearsome and bull-headed father, then she could coax Jonathan’s mother into accepting them too.Before their wedding takes place, she wanted everyone’s blessings. Including Josaphine’s and she would not shy away from appeasing Josaphine to gain her goodwill.***The place was the classic American home. A porch, a long veranda, high rooftops, and a yard that was big as a children’s park. It seemed like Josephine liked to keep the place uncomplicated and clean.Jonathan’s mother, according to his words, was the finest cook in the world. A woman who liked to do her own chores and leave them to the housekeeper. Who dressed simply, loved handling household affairs, and went to church religiously every single Sunday and pra
One could hear in the bleak eerie hallways of the asylum the clattering of chains, as a man dragged it through the metallic floor. His black-and-white striped prisoner’s clothing had bloodstains on it. His pace was slow and wobbly because of the heavy chains attached to his legs and hands and bound skin rotting off along the rusting metal.“Sir, we brought him,” the guard said and looked keenly at the captive. He ducked his head, his lips drawn into a straight line, his eyes covered with his overgrown bangs so they could only see only the white portion of his eyes through it.“Good, bring him in.”The guard pushed open the interrogation room. A person inside could not see or listen to what was outside. The captive was silent the whole time, his eyes still down, looking at the guard’s legs as he followed and another guard closely stalking behind. In the middle of the dim room, there was a light bulb just above the wooden table, the only source of light in that entire room, with two cha
A beautiful woman rested on the armchair inside the desolate dim room. There was no other source of light except for moonlight peeking through the windows. The moonlight reflected on her milky white skin, making it shine like freshly polished white jade. The raven black hair enhanced her flawless face and her eyes, the color of flames shimmered like glitter. The moonlight gave her a celestial glow. Anyone who had witnessed the sight would think of her as a fairy descended from the heavens. She had a jaded look kept on her face. As if nothing in this world was worth her interest. She glanced at the
It was daybreak, and Alexandra woke up from her slumber because of her phone vibrating on the table. While waking up from the armchair her neck ached, because of the uncomfortable position she was sleeping the whole night. She yawned and stretched her arms like a lazy cat. She indolently picked up the phone and grunts in annoyance after recognising the caller ID. She unwillingly answered the call. "Yes, grandfather?" She asked in annoyance and gnashed her teeth to stop herself from being rude. "You were drinking again, weren't you?" The voice was stern, bold and alarming, which was scarier than a lion's roar. That voice could keep people on their toes.A husky old man with a scruffy white beard resembling
In an eerie room, a half-naked man hung upside down like a skinned animal. The room smelled of decaying carcasses. The pungent smell of rotting meat stung his nose. He struggled in his chains trying to break it but ended up bleeding from the wound caused by it. His eyes were blurry and felt his eyes would fall out of its eye socket because of the high blood pressure in his head because someone hanged him upside down. He groaned from the torturous pain. "Where the fuck am I?" He muttered. Because of the uncomfortable position he was in, he couldn't think straight. He felt as if his brain was shutting down because of the exhaustion. He struggled but immediately stopped. Not because of the pain. He heard foot
Alexandra was gazing at the beautiful garden through the large transparent window. She was deep in thoughts lost in her own world. She was ruminating about her grandfather's stimulating words. She was a coward. A coward for running away. A coward for not defending herself. A coward for allowing them to use her as they pleased. She thought running away would settle all the pains she had. What it gave her were nothing but horrid nightmares that haunts her every night. "Young Miss" Alexandra is suddenly woken up from her deep thoughts. She turned around to see a middle-aged woman. It was Martha. the housemaid. Seeing the beautiful woman before her Martha held her breath. The sun's golden rays gave her an ethereal glow. Her golden eyes shimmered like fairy dust.
After filling her stomach with the delicious breakfast prepared by Martha Alexandra let out a small burp. Alexandra covered her mouth slightly blushing blinking in her eyes looking down on her lap. Hearing her cute burp Martha chuckled. It was her first time seeing this side of her. She behaved like an adorable child. Before today she used to eat alone in her room. It was after two long weeks she had eaten anything 'good'. She missed Martha's home-cooked meals which were both delicious and nutritious. Her stomach was so satisfied that it had let out a burp just to appreciate Martha's food. "Thank you for the food," She said and strode upstairs to her room. She opened her closet, it was any girl's dream closet because it was spacio
