Chapter 1 'You are getting married to Knoxville Daniel' are the words that has changed her life and had landed her in miseries she couldn't even escape from for months now. Aliya was a nineteen years old young vibrant aspiring actress, who wanted nothing, but to make her dreams of becoming a popular actress come true, but her dreams were shattered after she was asked to marry a stranger months ago. Unlike every other person that gets to decide for themselves without getting their parents involved, Aliya wasn't as lucky as that. Yes, she had everything at her disposal, which included money since she came from a well-to-do home although they were not very wealthy, but one thing she never had was freedom. Again, and just like every other day, she sat in the living room of her husband's mansion where she was supposed to find happiness, but found emptiness instead, as she waited for him to come back home. This is what she has been suffering for months since she got married to th

Chapter 3 Aliya arrived at the hotel where she lodged a room to rest for some time before she decide on what to do with her life. As she sat on the edge of the small bed, tears streamed down her cheeks. Her heart aches, especially as she thought of raising her unborn child alone in the future, but that wasn't what hurt the most, but the fact that the baby would probably grow up being lied to that his or her father died. She didn't have any option, since her so-called husband won't ever accept the baby. After spending hours, crying her eyes out, she finally gathered the pieces of strength remaining in her, and dragged her feet into the bathroom, where she had a long and relaxing bath, and once she returned to the room, she got dressed and strode out, heading to the hospital where she decided to do a pregnancy test to authenticate the test strip. The drive to the hospital didn't take much time, and they arrived in less than twenty minutes. Once she saw the doctor

Chapter 5 The world seemed to be frozen for seconds as she sat in front of him, trying to process what the man said to her. Was he saying the truth? "What...what are you saying? Did you bring me here to tell me that and think that I will believe you?" She scoffed, convincing herself that this was a lie. She had her father, and the man was staying at home with her mom. What the hell was this man saying to her and expecting her to believe him? "I'm sorry for not coming for you all this while. I had no idea you were my daughter until the last six months, and I have been trying to find you since then, up until..." "And you think that I will believe you because you said that?" She scoffed. "I and your mother had a thing together back in college, during our last two months before graduation. We fell in love and dated for three years, but we broke up two weeks after our graduation, because I had to go out of the country to pursue my dream..." He paused and bit his li

Chapter 7 "Oh, you're here?" Knox uttered as he stood up to his feet and adjusted his trouser up to his feet, which he already had below his butt. It didn't seem to him that this was a big deal, he was rather excited she found him like this. "Were you expecting me?" The corner of her lips twitched into a smirk as she sat on the couch, before glaring hard at Nina, who was just sitting there like the whore she was. She felt a pang in her heart, but there was no way she was going to show how angry she was in front of them, never! "Yes, let's say that I was expecting you. Have you thought about it? I guess you didn't have any choice but to come back to me," He chuckled softly with an aura of confidence surrounding him as he sat on the couch, swinging his leg over the other. "I told you, Aliya. You shouldn't have made that decision. We both know you couldn't have ever do without me. You know what I'm capable of, and I was going to show you the other side of Knoxville,"

Chapter 9 "She said you should let go of her. Aren't you going to?" She heard a strange masculine voice behind her, causing silence in the atmosphere. She slowly turned her head in the direction of the voice, and there was her savior. A young tall man graced in a black suit. Thick black hair, piercing blue eyes with a pinch of pale pinkish, pointed nose, glowing skin, chiseled face, and small heart-shaped lips. "And who the hell are you to tell me that?" Knox scoffed as he shoved Aliya behind him. He didn't even care about the people that were busy taking videos and pictures of him. He was too angry to think about that. He has never felt this humiliated all his life, and it's crazy how his wife suddenly denied knowing him. Was she trying to make him look like a fool in the presence of everyone or what? "You wouldn't want to know, Knoxville Daniel," The man, whose face was hard as he glared at Knox, uttered with confidence. Just looking at him, he looked like someone fr
