The Tycoon's estranged lover Chapter One
The beginning of the dead end"Waking up with you in my arms, loving you every seconds of the day, coming home into your arms, your beautiful smiles, sweet kisses and a mini me and you, I want to spend the rest of my life in these beautiful moments" Those were Darren's last words to me before he turned up in the tabloid a few weeks ago with my ex-boss on his arm, as his fiancée. Staring at the mirror, I'm satisfied with the beautiful image in front of me. I'm here to claim back my man, I told myself. This is the first time in a while I'm getting myself dolled up, the director insisted on funding my wardrobe and appearance, looking at myself in the mirror I can hardly recognize the face staring back at me. I'm bodied in a beautiful long solid silk gown with a fully open back, the front with long V cut dipping low to reveal enough cleavage to tempt any man out of his pants, adorned with natural pearl and diamond beads necklace and pendant glittering brilliantly under the light, the e

The dead end I can feel the intense ringing pain in my head as I feel myself coming back to consciousness, it took a moment I'm not in comfort of my bed but being restrained somewhere I have no idea on , the room is gloomy, the aura is kind of chilly and scary, I'm somewhere I don't know. I remember my mom called earlier in which unable to answer, I don't know how many hours has passed but I'm sure she is getting the scare already, I'm known to be dedicated when it comes to attending to calls and messages ASAP, so mom tends to freak out when I'm out of reach for a little while. I heard the flip of a switch come to brightness. I registered. I had my eyes closed all this while, I tried to open my heavy lidded eyes to get an idea of where I am and probably why I'm here. I found myself in a space that seemed like some long abandoned house, picking that from the cobwebs and dust around. The place looks like a warehouse which has probably not been used for a while, the settings and i

The rescue Everywhere seems dark but I can hear some beeping sounds, my memory is foggy I don't know if I'm dead or alive, I tried picking a picture of where I am but I can't seems to make a sense out of anything, I looked around by my mind is blank, and then the beep registers in my head, I'm in an hospital, my throat feels dry, I was in the room feeling so much discomfort for the longest hour of my life before I heard footsteps and the light came on, someone entered and I figured it's a doctor. "Miss, can you hear me? Can you feel your fingers? Blink your eyes if you can see me" The words seem to be rushing at me, I tried responding to the questions as ordered by the doctor. Everything was blurry and fast. Few moments after my emergency check up, one of the doctors from earlier entered with two strange men. I made an attempt to ask questions but my throat was so sore. The doctor gave me some water which helped a little. "trying to talk might be a little hard right now miss, I

A new dawnI made my way back to my room as quietly as I could, Darren walked in not long after.He seems to be avoiding my gaze at first before turning to me."Why?" "Why did you do that? if you hated me that much why didn't you come after me rather?""I could have forgiven you no matter what you did, but Morgana? she wasn't your enemy to fight""You know I love you!!! I made it my choice to stay away from you if that is the only way I could protect you, but you went too far hurting an innocent person""I can't protect you from paying for your actions" Darren said looking down on me.He looks really broken, I hate seeing him struggling this much, I wanted to ease the pain away but I feel too helpless.I raised my hands to his face, he looked so handsome even with all the stress written over his face."I'm sorry Darren" I whispered"I didn't do it, the accident was not my fault, I promise you I'm innocent" the sob I was trying hard to hold in broke out.I was crying uncontrollably, I'

Deadly choiceMy eyes caught Darren's and he stood up to leave. I followed him immediately.I noticed he was walking into a quiet part of the compound, suddenly he stopped and turned at me, I moved closer to him with careful steps."What's going on?" I asked with a shaky voice."Your grandfather finally finds his corrupt way of avoiding judgment." Darren answered with gritted teeth, he looks like he is losing grip on his anger."What do you mean? I'm innocent of all the charges, why won't you believe me?" "Then why are you hiding behind their shadows, if you are so sure you are not guilty, why not face the investigations yourself, why hide behind your grandfather?" he pointed his fingers at me with frustration as he spoke."You know, I know you very well, as much as they do and I'm damn sure everyone in your family knows what you are capable of but they are just trying hard to cover you up, but this marriage scheme? That's going way too far, what exactly are you planning to achieve b

The River of no return."Well I guess she has made her decision," I heard Grandpa Cooper's voice with a victorious cheer.The room went silent as everyone stared at me like I'm crazy.Alan moved closer to me with a furrow on his forehead, as he picked up my hanging hands and held onto them, his eyes staring into me as he whispered."Abby, look at me, I know all this is hard on you, but you don't have to do this if you don't want to, this is your life and you should not ruin it with a marriage, I know you are innocent and I believe in you I’m going to do everything to clear your name, so please, please Abby, just think about this marriage very well before you enter it”Alan’s voice was calling out to me desperately, but I've made my decision already, this is my fight and I'm doing it my own way.Alan means everything to me in the world, Alan and my mom were the only family I knew Before all this started."I’m OK Alan

A friend from a mutual benefit.Darren's words have been stuck in my head since yesterday. My mind has been busy trying to figure out what it is with my nanny that he mentioned. It would have been nice to have someone around here that I can ask but I'm definitely sure no one would.Oh right!!!
