TessaI kept running in the woods, my feet were bleeding from being pricked by thorns and twigs, my muscles felt the fatigue and the adrenaline rush I was surviving on was almost depleted and yet the faceless guy in a red flannel shirt and a pair of blue jeans dungarees was still running after me with an axe the size of my hand. Why he was chasing me? No idea and whether it was real or not still no idea but it felt so real, the sweat trickling down my neck lines, through my cleavage and belly.The problem is it seemed as if I was running on a treadmill and like the guys behind me and any second that axe was going to break my skull open and spill my brains all over the place. Tried to scream but again it didn't get anywhere, the wind swept my sound waves away, no help was coming so it was upon me to run as a fast as I could although my feet felt heavier, tired and swollen. Out of options, I tried to bribe him."Please I'll give you money!"What the Fuck was I thinking

If there was someone who was not having a good morning was Gideon. The girl he was about to get engaged to in twenty-four hours was not talking to him. She was puffed up like a balloon and he seemed not to have the answers on what was causing those waves of bad attitude around her. It even made him go back to the events of the previous day, the guests he invited. Did he probably get cozy with them and she got jealous? It didn't make sense. In fact, their entire relationship didn't. Although they knew each other for the better part of their lives but less than a week back she was married... we're talking days here and they linked up once has sex and woke up feeling like they ought to get married.Which is okay. But the big question on his mind was, how long was it going to take before their massive egos collided? Her cold shoulder treatment made him question how quick it took them to settle for an engagement. Perhaps they should have taken some time to get to know each other bett

TessaWe were just coming back from a disgrace of a meeting with that delusional woman who called herself a fortune teller. Congratulations to her I was back to being mad at Gideon again. Yeah, it was all his fault. In a bid to try and help fix a problem he created more problems. Can you believe that witch said the dream was real and that my father and my family at large deserved all that was coming? And that was not even the thing that made me angry, she said I was never going to be happy in my life, ever?Who was she to pass that judgement? Who on earth told her I was not happy? Did she have any idea who the fuck she was talking to? The princess of the Wallace estate, my father was among the richest people in the country and even with the war nothing had changed not to mention I was his favorite child."Don't mind her" Gideon spoke for the first time since we boarded the vehicle, his tone was remorseful, this time he was taking the fault without waiting for an accusati

The whole family swarmed in on Blake as they carefully forced him out of the venue without causing much alarm, the crowd was already alarmed but those who knew Wallace and his family so we were both surprised. What was a Wallace party without some drama?"I just want to talk to Tessa then we can see if this joke of a party goes on""You don't get to insult me" Growled Gideon, he even wanted to punch him lights out but Gabriel held his hand. No one was really in the mood for violence that day for Christ sake they were dressed to party and have fun, dance, drink and those who could even have sex!"Calm down Gideon" Bailey said rather politely, "what do you want?""To talk to Tessa nothing else""Okay go ahead, but not here and we're not leaving her sight for as much as I care you might have goons out there planning to take her" that was the condition and it was good for him to have an audience so that they could all hear him convince her to be his again.Funny

At eight in the evening, everyone in the Red crescent manor was gathered at the ceremonial grounds. Circular in shape with seats made of mortar almost like an ancient Roman arena, there was a podium decorate with high end seats where the elders and the family priest sat. No one from the family had arrived yet and there was confusion everywhere with rumors circulating among the employees."I think we're being sent packing, I don't even know where to start from my whole life is in this beautiful place" one said sounding disturbed."Who said we're being send packing?" Asked another."It's just a rumor. We don't have proof" argued someone from behind, they were all whispering as though it was a crime to talk. But generally, it was all quiet and the whole place was lit up with traditional lamps."Something else we don't have is a leader and we're going to be scattered all over"The banter would have continued were it not for the sight of the r
