Excerpt from the story He towered over her as she laid on a hospital bed, head wrapped up in gauze, struggling to keep her eyes open. "You ran me over, didn't you?" She exhaled shakily, her bright eyes pinned on him, tears threatening to fall.

Taylor threw her phone against the wall, smashing it into pieces in anger. Today was the 30th day, she had been locked up in her room by Andrew after being accused of frolicking with Daniel. It was also her 30th time being sexually punished by him. Taylor shivered when she glanced at the time. It was 3pm already, and it was only a matter of 2 hours before Andrew would be back to make her life a living hell. She heard a knock on the door, but ignored it as she sprawled on her bed, her back turned to the door. Just like she expected, she heard the door unlocking before it was pushed open. “You should eat something, Mrs. Radford.” Becky said as she walked in and placed the food she had brought with her on Taylor's beside table. Taylor had her eyes wide open, but didn't bother acknowledging Becky's presence. Becky stayed in the room for a while before she breath
“Delete the tweet and tell the public that it isn't what they think.” Taylor pleaded, almost going down on her knees. After Derek showed her Daniel's tweet, she immediately reached out to Daniel and asked for them to meet in secret. “Why?” Daniel raised a brow before scoffing. Then he leaned towards her and asked, “Why should I do that? You were my girlfriend before your sudden marriage to that brat Andrew. We didn't even break up. So why should I apologize for hugging my girlfriend?” Taylor clenched her jaw tightly. She already knew how this was going to end. But she was desperate for it not to end that way, or she'd be screwed by Andrew. She was about to say something when her phone, which she placed on the table before her, vibrated. Taylor hesitated. Seeing her hesitate, Daniel reached out to take the phone. He chuckled when he saw the caller and showed it to her. “Andrew is calling.” Taylor trembled in fear. He was calling. Her body twitched uncomfortably, recalling the pai
The first thing Taylor felt when she opened her eyes the next morning was pain in her lower body. She felt someone cover her with a duvet and glanced up to see Becky. Becky smiled, the lines on her face creasing. Taylor sighed and closed her eyes again, recalling the horrible night she had just been through. Her hatred for Andrew finally reached its peak. She clenched and unclenched her fists numerous times in anger. “Mr. Radford left an hour ago for the company.” Becky disclosed, probably trying to earn a reaction from Taylor. However, Taylor struggled to get up, wincing in pain. Andrew had torn off her clothes last night, so she could only wrap the duvet around her body and limp to the room. With each step she took, the pain from her stretched muscles multiplied until she got to her room. She walked into the bathroom only to see Becky had prepared her bath. She soaked in the warm bath for more than an hour, thinking of how pathetic her life had become. After a while, she took
Elizabeth was in the hospital attending to a patient when she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. She didn't reach for it until she was done. “You should be fine in a couple of weeks given you don't do anything that puts pressure on your right leg, or you may have it contaminated which would leave the hospital no choice but to cut it off to save your life.” She told the young man who had broken his leg when he went on a hiking journey.He nodded and closed his eyes. Elizabeth didn't waste any more time with him as she walked out of the ward. She took off her gloves and dropped them in the bin, then took out her phone.She smiled when she saw the pictures sent to her and hastened to her office. Daniel really did take her bait. She was together with him last night and spilled the news that Taylor would be at Glass House Entertainment the following day. She didn't expect the man, who claimed not to be listening to her, to actually act on her words. But she was thankful for that. Now
Andrew's Villa “I didn't expect that you'd allow me to return to the entertainment industry. Why? Is it a tactic you've come up with to ruin me or punish me?” Taylor asked Andrew, who kept his eyes pinned on the food he was eating.Despite her intrusive question, Andrew didn't act like he heard her. It was until he was done eating five minutes later that he dropped his cutleries and glanced up at her. “Don't you want to return to your life as an actress?” He threw her a question instead of giving an answer to her question. Taylor exhaled tiredly and reached for the wine glass before her. She took a sip from it, her eyes pinned on his handsome face. “I do. But I can't help having the feeling you're just waiting for me to slip, so you can punish me.” “It's good you're now afraid of me.” He merely said, got up and walked out of the house. Taylor hissed angrily and relaxed on her chair. She glanced at her wristwatch and got up as well. It was already 9am, and she was supposed to be
Chapped lips, trembling eyes and unable to keep her eyes open. Taylor curled into a ball form on her bed, clutching tightly to her aching stomach. For some reason, she naively believed she could stomach the pain of not eating for more than twenty-four hours. She glanced at the time and hissed in pain. She still needed to go for another twelve hours to complete the two days. Taylor's lips were chapped, and her throat was dry, since she hadn't tasted water or anything liquid for more than a day. She was too weak to do so, and Andrew had ordered the maids not to help Taylor with anything. If she wanted something, she should get it herself. She sighed and closed her eyes, hoping she'd sleep off and wake up in twelve hours. Just then, she heard her door open, then the sound of soft footsteps. Taylor was too weak to get up and see who it was, so she just laid there. Something dropped beside her face and she quickly reached for it, seeing it was freshly baked bread. Not caring who drop
While the fundraiser event was ongoing, in a golf field with bright lights placed all around the vicinity, a concentrated Daniel swung his golf club. The ball flew up and dropped straight into the hole after seconds of being in the air. Daniel smiled in satisfaction and waited for another ball to be placed for him. Just then, a woman, in a short -suit skirt, walked in. She waited for him to play before saying why she had come, “Mr. Holt, Mr. Radford is here, should I let him in?” “Let him in.” Daniel instructed without glancing at her. The woman nodded and walked back to where she came from. Minutes later, a suited Andrew waltzed into the golf field. “I didn't think you'd accept my invitation to come see me.” Daniel chuckled as soon as Andrew got close. Andrew didn't reply immediately as he looked around the golf field. “Isn't it too late to play golf?” “Why not? I purchased the golf field not too long ago.” Daniel refuted, handing the golf club to the person next to him. He al
The face looked oddly familiar to Elizabeth, but as she stared at him, trying hard to recall where she had seen him before, Dante had flared up in rage. “Who is he? He's one of your boy toys, isn't he? Don't you know you're supposed to get rid of them as the married woman that you are!” Dante yelled, pointing a finger at Taylor's nose in rage. He didn't recognize who the man was and quickly assumed the worst. Taylor swallowed a painful lump as her body trembled in shock and heartbreak. She slowly glanced up at Charles, who had gulped down the champagne with a nonchalant look. However, he glared at Dante when he heard the middle-aged man's words to Taylor. Instead of speaking to Dante directly, he turned to Taylor with the most respectful look he could muster, “Mrs. Radford, who is this?” His question made Dante blush in embarrassment. How could this brunt claim not to know him! Most importantly, how could Taylor keep such a rude person as a friend? Look at him, he didn't even bo
“He didn't listen to me.” Elizabeth said as she glanced at the tall building meters away from where she parked her car. The building had the initial 'AS' which stood for Andrew's Solution. Ava, who sat beside her, sighed and took off her glasses, “If you can't get him to change his mind, why do you think I can?” “Because you're his mother-in-law.” Elizabeth said outrightly. “Dante's company was on the verge of going bankrupt because Andrew attacked it. He doesn't care about anyone besides himself.” Ava frowned, leaning her head on the headrest. Elizabeth finally took her eyes off the building as she asked, “The fundraiser event will happen tomorrow. Even if he doesn't come, Taylor will attend on his behalf.” Ava glanced at her daughter and nodded in understanding. If everything goes according to plan at the fundraiser event, Taylor would be in hell. Before Elizabeth asked the driver to drive off, she paused and glanced at her mother, Andrew's chiseled back flashing back into her
