All Chapters of His Prize : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Did he really think I would take him back, after everything he had done to me?“We belong together. Always have. You just need to stop being a drama queen” he continued as he tightened his grip on my arm.But before I could respond, Jayden appeared out of nowhere, his eyes locked on Brian with a fierce intensity."Back off.," he growled. "She’s made it clear she's not interested in you. Leave her alone."I felt a surge of gratitude as I looked atJayden. He was standing up for me, defending me against Brian’s manipulations.But Brianjust sneered, his eyes glinting with malice. "Or what?" he taunted. "You'll fight me for her? I don't think so,stranger.. You're not even in the same league as me."I felt a pang of anger as I looked atBrian. How dare he try to intimidateJayden?I was sick of his rubbish.But before things could escalate further, I stepped forward, my voice firm. "That's enough, Brian," I said. "I don't want anything to do with you. Leave me alone, and don't come back."His

I sat in the funeral home, surrounded by the somber faces of the funeral directors and the sterile smell of flowers. Stan sat beside me, his eyes red-rimmed from lack of sleep.We were planning our mother's funeral.It felt surreal, like I was living in a nightmare that I couldn't wake up from. Just a few days ago, I was sitting in the hospital, holding my mother's hand and praying for a miracle. Now, I was planning her funeral.Stan and I, both decided not to waste time to put her to rest.Angela recommended the services of these people.She invited us to stay at her home till whenever.The funeral director, a kind-faced woman with a gentle smile, handed me a catalog of caskets. "We have a variety of options to choose from," she said."Which one do you think your mother would have liked?"I felt a lump form in my throat as I flipped through the pages. My mother had always been a simple woman, with simple tastes. She wouldn't have wanted anything fancy or extravagant.“Maybe the expen

As the days passed, I struggled with the decision. I felt like I was being torn in two, like my heart and my head were at war.But as I thought about it more, I realized that I knew what I had to do. I couldn't keep the baby, not now. I was too young, too inexperienced.Jayden had told me he would be there for me, regardless of any choice I make.I made the difficult decision to hide the news from Leo, at least for now. I knew it wouldn't be easy, but I felt like it was the best decision for me.As I finalized my decision, I felt a sense of relief wash over me. I knew it wouldn't be easy, but I felt like I had made the right choice.I threw myself into my schoolwork, using it as a distraction from the turmoil that was still brewing inside me. I focused on my classes, on my studies, and slowly but surely, I began to feel like myself again.I distanced myself from Leo, using the excuse that I needed to focus on my schoolwork. He seemed to understand, but I could tell he was getting susp

She seems familiar, I thought to myself as Stan and Emily laughed and ate together.I just couldn’t remember where I saw her.I focused on my study as I sat in the living room, with my laptop.I found myself growing more and more uneasy around Emily. She seemed nice enough, but there was something about her that didn't add up.And then, one day, I stumbled upon a shocking discovery.I was browsing through her social media profiles when I came across a post that made my blood run cold.It was a post from Emily's 20th birthday, the occasion looked fancy and glamorous.But what really caught my attention was the fact that Maria stood in the group picture with Tiffany at her side.I felt a wave of fear wash over me. What had Stan gotten himself into?This could only mean, Maria was planning something behind the scene.I knew I had to confront Stan, to warn him about Emily’s true nature.But as I approached him, I realized that he was too far gone. He looked so in love with her."Stan, can

“No…this can’t be possible” Stan said as he ran his hand through his hair.“But it is, Stan” I assured.“No!” He exclaimed in disbelief.“Stan…”“She’s not like that, sis” he continued.“It’s real.”I said to him.“This is Emily we are talking about." He stated as I frowned at his behavior.“She’s not coming back” I plainly stated as his eyes widened in surprise.“No, don't say that" He muttered.“Stan!” Angela snapped.“You don’t know her like I do…none of you do” Stan said as his eyes pooled with tears.“Maybe just reason, it seems true” Angela persuaded as he shook his head in disagreement.“If it wasn’t, why wouldn’t she pick your calls?” I asked him.“She’s probably in danger or something.” He responded“She’s not” Angela states.“Then something must have happened to her phone."He answered persistently.“We both know you don’t believe that” I said as my smile turned upside down.“I love her” He blurted out.“I know, Stan” I said as I held his hands.“There are other girls in the w
