I reached the bus station at 1am in the morning. It was a one hour walk. I met a few men and women who were waiting for the bus as well. I politely greeted them and sat on the bench waiting for the bus. It was quite cold. I was shivering and my teeth were chattering.
"Here my child take this it will keep you very warm" an old lady said lovingly handing me a soft cosy blanket.
"Thank you so much ma" I replied with so much gratitude. She nodded and I covered myself. I felt warm and protected. Thirty minutes later the bus engine came roaring into the gravel road informing all of us that it was time to go.
Moments later we all entered the bus and a few minutes later it was full and it started off. I glanced back at the bus station one last time I would never come back to this hell hole I once called home.
Leaving the place I've spent all my life hurts and I wish it wouldn't have to, I wish I could stay.
But I knew I would break that promise soon,because both of my loving were both buried here. I can't ever forget those beautiful memories I've come to love. I'll treasure them forever.
The journey was going to be long and I didn't know where I would end up in such a big place.
I hugged my bag tightly and sank into the leather seat soon my eyes fluttered closed and drifted to sleep. I began dreaming about the city and how I would cope in such a big place like New York.
I chose to live in New York because it's where my parents met for the first time and fell in love.
They always told me their first meeting they were only just teenagers by then and they adored each other.
They always hoped that one day I would also find my true love here when I got older. And I have a feeling that very soon love finds people in the strangest places. I wonder how it will find me.
My charming prince would sweep me off my feet by surprise and I would helplessly fall head over heels in love with him. I would be his lady and he would certainly be my man.
I was just eighteen years old. I didn't have experience in the love department and I also haven't ever had a boyfriend before.
My first kiss would be the most blissful day of my life. Love would do wonders to me and complete my soul.
Someone kept shaking my shoulder continuously and I murmured something inherently in my sleep.
"Child wake up" a soft voice pleads.
My eyes flicker open and I let out a tired yawn rubbing my eyes sleepily.
My gaze was fixed on an elderly woman who was warmly smiling at me and I returned her smile politely.
It's been six hours already, huh time travels fast, finally in NYC it was time to face the real world with a poker face.
"Child we have arrived" she said tapping my shoulders and I warmly smiled at her stretching myself.
"Thank you for waking me up ma" I said softly with gratitude and appreciation. She nodded quietly and fondly and smiled at me.
I was here.
I took my bag and paid the driver my bus fare and the other elderly woman's fare as well.
"Thank you my child my God bless you" she beamed happily. She took me by surprise and hugged me tightly. She had a mother's caring heart and it reminded me that I got none of that from Lucinda.
"You're welcome," I said quietly.
She released me and cupped My cheeks gently.
"Take care of yourself child the city can be overwhelming and dangerous" she warns and I nod.
We said our goodbyes and we went our separate ways. I glanced back and she disappeared.
I didn't know anyone here and since I ran away in the middle of the night it was going to be a challenge, but I'm glad it's morning.
I kept looking around the city in surprise. It was very beautiful and it consisted of very tall buildings. They looked like they were made from glass.
Woah.
I kept looking around the city in awe and wondered if it was so amazing. I bet the people most have thought that it was strange.
I sat on a bench with a few people and they kept looking at me strangely.
"Hi, I am Soledae," I said coolly, offering my hand,but surprisingly the girls burst out laughing and left.
I shrugged and opened my bag and began eating a loaf of bread and later drank half of my water and ate a bit of fruit. Once I was done eating I packed up everything and I began exploring the city.
I kept staring at the huge billboards. They had different pictures to display. A lot of them were supermodels and perfume brands.
Wow.
An hour later.
It was now 6am in the morning. Many of the people were dressed in suits and expensive clothes, some of them were very sparkly.
Cool.
The boutique had the most fabulous dresses; they were so pretty and full of glitter and sequence just like the ones Maxima wore.
The high heels were so classy and costly but they were worth dying for no wonder Lucinda and Maxima waste money on these city things.
When I turned around some men were staring at me weirdly and a chill ran down my spine. I had a bad feeling I didn't return their sly smiles.
I left the place and began walking a few minutes later they began following me and that's when I got really scared.
Yikes.
I pushed through the crowds to try and escape them. My heart was thumping wildly in my chest and I started running faster.
"Hey golden locks wait up!" They yelled behind me.
I ran into a dead end and I was trapped. I was about to turn my heel,but they cornered me and smirked wickedly.
I let out a small gasp as the air left my lungs.
One of them started walking towards me slowly stalking me like a predator stalking its prey.
"Don't be shy golden locks we just want to talk to you" he says quietly he eyes me lustfully from head to toe.
And I force myself to speak up.
"I don't want any trouble and am new to the city just let me go..." I pleaded tearfully and they all burst out laughing.
"What's in the bag sweetheart?" One of them asks me to walk towards me while I move backwards.
"Nothing, only my clothes are-are in the bag" I replied softly as he cups my cheeks and forcely kisses me. And I push him away angrily while he staggers backwards.
His nostrils flare furiously, his hunch men try to strike,but he raises his hand to stop them staring at me strangely.
"She's mine I'll handle her it seems she's a stubborn one" he mutters quietly.
And I stood my ground.
Without warning he tore my dress exposing my breasts and cleavage a scream escaped my lips.
He pushed to the ground hard. I picked up an iron rod and hit his head. He lazily collapsed to the ground. His hunch made me try to catch me and I threw the iron rod at them and made a run for it.
They began chasing me and I ran faster. I secured my bag tightly and ran into the streets.
There was nothing magical about the city anymore, it was full of dangerous people and they were very cruel.
I kept bumping into many people, my Adeline pumping in my veins as I ran for my life.
"Catch her!" They screamed behind me I was out of breath.
I ran faster, my heart thumping wildly in my chest. I ran into the road and before I could realize I just heard a car's horn and I screamed.
I pushed her away while she frowned at me crossing her hands over her chest angrily. I needed to relax and play along. But her touch was just irritating and I didn't want her close to me or even feel her lips on me. I just wanted Adrianna and no one else. "Am here Maxi now let Adrianna go now!" I barked furiously and she smirked, showing off her perfectly white teeth."This isn't your fucking office Sébastien and you certainly don't get to call the shots here this is my territory. Besides that wasn't the deal darling my lawyer will be here shortly with the paperwork and once you sign you'll be legally mine" she purrs seductively."In the meantime I want you to bury your cock deep inside me right here..." she whispers and my eyes widen in shock."I can't do that Maxima.""You will do whatever I tell you to do Sébastien Miller or I will have one of men rape your darling wife right in front of you."The air left my lungs and she wickedly smirked. I knew that she wasn't going to give emp
MILA POVI was in total shock of course I kind of hated Soledae and her future husband and I wanted to make them pay, but killing her wasn't part of the plan. I am not a fucking murderer and I will never be one. "You didn't say anything about killing Soledae" I mutter quietly and Maxima narrows her eyes at me dangerously."You'll have two fucking souls on your hands and I don't want to have anything to do with her death especially of an innocent child besides don't forget that she's still our sister."Maxima snorts and frowns at me."Don't feel pity for her Mila and I never considered her as my sister she's just a bitch who stole my noble prize Sébastien Miller" Maxi says coldly."He doesn't love you Maxi and he never will you and I perfectly know that he's in love with Soledae."Without warning Maxi pushed me against the wall violently.My head spins as I try gasping for get airPulled her back firmly by grabbing the scruff at the back of her neckMy heart, once quickly beating, is
The mysterious stranger looked around and called for some backup in case things got a little messy. "I need you to come here to help me sneak out the bride's body and don't forget to disguise yourselves as workers do you understand?" Yes boss we'll be there in a few Minutes."The call instantly got disconnected and five minutes later two built men appeared at the wedding venue with fake identities surprisingly they were allowed inside.Security checked them and approved them a few minutes later they entered Adrianna's bedroom."Make sure nobody sees the wedding dress and don't drop it." The two men nod stiffly and carry the carpet downstairs; they managed to leave the wedding venue without getting noticed by security. Once they reached the hall Adrianna's anklet fell on the ground as they carried the carpet in a different position. Minutes later they placed the carpet in the van and drove away taking an unconscious Adrianna with them. HUNTER POVAfter picking up Tylee from the ai
ADRIANNA POVTWO MONTHS LATER Sébastien had pressed charges against Maxima and the doctor; they were immediately arrested for false misconduct and forgery. Her modeling career instantly ended when the video went viral on the internet her reputation was tarnished. She got what she deserves and am glad she was finally ripping what she sowed in the end. I never knew that people like her even existed. She was put in her place where she belongs. Am sure she will be there for a long time and I hope she takes the time to reflect on her wrong doings too. "Babe get ready, I want to take you out for dinner," Hunter says coolly and I wrap my arms around him."But first I want you to fuck me."His eyes widened in shock. "Adrianna we'll be late and-""Please just do it quick Sébastien..." I pleaded and he smirks.I took off my robe and it pools to my feet his mouth instantly invades my erect nipples and I moan. He takes off his towel and pushes me on the bed and I gasp. "Lay on your stomach
Hunter and I shared a puzzled look and stared at the doctor like he was crazy. This can't be fucking happening he sensed our hesitation and narrowed his eyes at the results in Hunters hands. "You may check the reports Mr. Miller, they are positive if you are not satisfied then we can do the test again, but it will take three more days again."I was left speechless and a painful sob escaped my lips. Everything in my life felt like it was crushing down. Life had put me in such a difficult dilemma making me feel and look like the other woman in Maxi and Sébastien's love story. I felt like a villain. She was carrying Hunter's baby for crying out loud. She now had a right over him even if his heart belongs to me.It sounded pathetic like a child's play. Staying Hunter again had really made me happy and it brought back memories of the old days, but this time we're lovers and we didn't sleep in separate beds. We shared everything and he wasn't my boss anymore, only in pleasuring me he was
ADRIANNA POVHunter grasped my hand gently looking for assurance. He cupped both of my cheeks, his thumb wiping away my tears. "I can't believe that this is happening to me" I sob."Trust me Adrianna this child isn't mine I promise we'll do a DNA test and settle this issue."Maxi smirks and takes a big bite of her apple. "Do whatever you want Sébastien, but this child I am carrying is yours whether you accept it or not" she says coldly."Am not getting an abortion either."I hug Hunter tightly inhaling his masculine scent. "I believe you Hunter and I trust am sure Maxi is just lying to try and break us up."Maxima frowns and scoffs. She spares us one last hateful glance and leaves the house.Once she left I felt like I could finally breathe again. Her presence was so intoxicating. " Where is Tylee? I finally asked and he gave me a smile."Promise me that you won't be mad at me or Tylee" he says quietly.I frown. "What did you do Sébastien?" Come on babe you didn't promise.""Séba
