"Mmm!"

She scooped another mouthful of the delicious cold treat and shoved it inside her mouth. It was exactly what she needed to calm her nerves.

She usually avoided indulging in sweets, especially when she had to watch her figure, but tonight was an exception.

"Chocolate fudge, just what I needed." She mumbled as she dug another large portion of the soft, chilled dessert before shoving it inside her mouth and licking the spoon clean of the creamy goodness.

She just wanted to feel as if she still had control of what went on around her. Lately, she felt like her life was out of her hands.

She was a stranger in her body as someone else pulled the strings. But that was the price she had to pay for accepting this arrangement.

"She must be fucking kidding me." She screamed inside her head as she slammed her fist on the shiny marble counter, releasing her building frustration.

That woman must be joking or crazy. "Why would she even suggest anything like that?" She sti

  • She's Trouble: His Bride with a Dollar Sign   57 - Hitting two birds with one stone

    "What is so special about her?" She hated that woman with every fiber of her being.She believed Isaac should have married her. She was more suitable to stand by his side, unlike that worthless, orphaned nobody that he married. Who was she to take what belonged to her?Who was she to take her place?That woman did not deserve to be his wife. But no matter what, she would do everything to get what was rightfully hers. She would not stop until Isaac divorced that woman and married her."I should never have left." Regretting her previous decision, but she was young and immature. She thought it was the right thing to do at the time.Her parents, the Quinn family, had been long-time friends with the Saunders. She had grown side by side with Isaac and some of their childhood friends.She had always had a crush on him as far as she could remember, but he had always treated her like a young sister, just like the rest of their male friends.One day, she decided to confess her feelings to him

  • She's Trouble: His Bride with a Dollar Sign   56 - A little more push in the right direction

    56 - xxx - James"Please, Charlie, come and join me." He urged his daughter-in-law to sit next to him.He had asked her to meet him on the balcony where they could have a private conversation. It had been a while since they had a chat, just the two of them.He would also love her company while enjoying the cool breeze and the lovely view of the magnificent blue sky under this radiating sunlight."How is he?" He asked, still slightly worried about his son's condition. Although Isaac was a grown man, he feared that his son would end up like him. He believed his son was too much like him. Eventually, the younger version of himself would make stupid decisions like neglecting the things that should matter the most, like his health, family, and love."He is currently sleeping. But don't worry, the doctor said that his medications could cause drowsiness." She immediately explained, not wanting the older man to be overly anxious. "Anyway, you should not have bothered coming, Mr. Saunders.

    "Thanks, Rachel. I'll take it from here." Charlene dismissed the sweet and kind housekeeper as soon as she had her husband settled on the couch.She quickly fussed over her husband, thinking she owed it to take care of him. After all, he was in this screwed up situation because of her. She grabbed a blanket and covered it on her husband's body as he sat comfortably on the couch. Then, she asked if he wanted something to eat."You must be hungry." She remembered it had been hours since he had had a light meal at the hospital. Her husband must be starving. She was as her stomach growled for the third time. Quickly, she asked Rachel to prepare something for them."Charlie, have you seen my phone?" Isaac asked when his wife returned from the kitchen, carrying a tray of food.He was not particularly concerned about eating, but he needed to contact his assistant. He had an important meeting scheduled that morning. He required an update."What are you doing?" She hurriedly put the tray of

    "All done." The woman at the desk gathered the papers she had signed. "You can take your husband home, Mrs. Saunders."She nodded at the kind woman, but she still felt odd hearing people call her by her new surname. It still felt surreal to think she was the wife of a billionaire.Mrs. Charlene Saunders.However, she knew she should not get used to it since it would not last long. Eventually, this show would end. Then, she would go back to her regular life.Ms. Charlene PrestonAdmittedly, she thought it did not have the same effect. It did not sound as prestigious as her husband's name. Nonetheless, she did not care.She would not let her name or status define who she was."Thanks." She turned away from the woman, glad that she could finally take her husband home and get out of there.She always found the place dreary and suffocating, despite its bright hallways, white walls, and ample air conditioning and ventilation. "I hope I won't be back here anytime soon." She mumbled as she w

    "Son of a bitch! That fucking hurt." He grabbed the back of his skull as the headache persisted. It was as if his head was splitting in two.Next, he gradually forced his eyes open, confused by the bright light and the strong antiseptic smell that bombarded his nose.Damn! What just happened?The last thing he remembered was inviting his wife to dinner. Then, everything went black."Isaac, do you remember anything?" Finally, he heard a familiar voice.Not much.He thought.Wait! What was his friend doing here?It did not make sense, as his muddled brain tried to piece together the missing puzzle."Where am I, man?" He asked, ignoring the other man's question as he sought answers.He rubbed his eyes, blinking twice until he removed the cobwebs that seemed to blur his vision. Then, he squinted his eyes one more time, ensuring that this was not just an elaborate dream."You're in the hospital, my friend. You had an accident and hit your head." The man in a white coat notified him of his c
