1: Locked Out

“We’re sorry ma’am but you’re not allowed to go into the party.” The security guards eyed me curiously and sympathetically but their strong stance didn’t shake.I didn’t think I heard right. I’ve just been denied access into a party hosted to celebrate the anniversary of my husband’s and I joint company.“Are you aware of who you’ve just denied access to?! The part owner of this company! You might lose your job for this insult!” I breathed out, shifting uncomfortably because the people gathered outside were already staring.“We’re sorry, ma’am. We were given strict orders to keep you out.” They responded again and I bristled.“By whom?! Wait till my husband hears of this ridiculous–” I was still speaking when the security guard responded.“The order was from your husband, ma’am.”As soon as his response sank into my head, my mind began to spin while I struggled to make sense of what I had just heard. Tonight is the fifth anniversary of the company my husband and I co owned, and we

2: A Ridiculous Deal

Carla “You‘ve been bailed, and now, you’re free to leave.” A warden informed me as he opened my waiting cell, three days after I was thrown in there. I was beyond shocked as I exited the haunting bars, unable to believe my ears. The bail was millions of dollars, and I never deluded myself into thinking anybody would be able to bail me out of this predicament.“Who bailed m-” I was still speaking when I stepped upfront and set my eyes on the man standing at the direct opposite of me. As soon as our eyes locked, it was like I was hit with a sharp whiplash, one which had my heart instantly propelling into my stomach while my mouth fell open.Zade Dalton Gomez.His blue eyes stared me down from across the room and I was tempted to cower from how intense his look was. He was as good looking as an oil painting. His long hair was slicked back but a few curls escaped and framed his face, his jawline was so sharp, his nose perfectly pointed and altogether, he looked like a Greek god. Za

3: Revenge Plan

Zade “I’m serious, I really didn’t do a thing. I’m not a criminal.” She bit out but I snorted with an eyeroll then glanced at my wrist watch.“But you are, and I honestly don’t like the thought of a criminal being around my niece, I just don’t have a choice. If you can get her to start speaking, I’ll be able to get her the help she needs. The therapist suggested a family picture is drawn up for her to be around, that’s why you’re becoming my wife for the time being.”She frowned as she sighed this time. “But, I still don’t understand how she thinks I’m her mother.” She breathed out and that was something we agreed on. It had shocked me immensely when my niece who had refused to utter a word since the night she was rescued from a fire, had suddenly pointed at the television which displayed a picture of Carla. My niece, Ella, had literally bursted right into tears and had demanded for her mommy while pointing at a picture of Carla.“It doesn't matter. The doctor said it’s a traumat

4: She a runner, she a trackstar

Carla My heart was pounding hard as I walked fast, while gripping the watch tightly in my grip— a wristwatch which belonged to Zade, which I had stolen before taking off.This was actually my first time taking something that doesn't belong to me, and it was solely out of desperation, because I had a feeling that Dave would have cleaned out the money left in my account, and It was confirmed when I stopped at a bank to check. That’s why I took this watch while fleeing, because I planned to sell it and use the money to leave the country.I stepped into a watch store and informed them I had a watch to sell, then I presented the watch to them, while guilt churned within me. As soon as I successfully leave this country, I planned to instantly call Zade and apologize, then I’d start working towards paying him back for the watch. I wasn’t sure of how I’d repay him for the bail, but I was gonna try to repay that as well. I just couldn’t imagine marrying Zade, not as a contract marriage

5; Finalizing Everything

Zade I knew what Lena was trying to do. She was clearly trying to mark her territory, to show Carla that she owned me. But no one owns me, and I’d rather not be doing this right now because searching for Carla had been stressful enough before getting that call from the watch store.When I broke the kiss, I glanced over at Carla. Her face was blank and there was no trace of jealousy or anger, and I knew that was what Lena expected to see when she looked over at Carla. I really wish Lena would be rational about this whole situation because for one, I didn’t like being doubted, and I also wanted her to trust and believe me when I said there was completely nothing between Carla and I.“So, this is the famous ex-convict.” Lena drawled out beside me, a sarcastic smile across her lips.Carla only rolled her eyes. “I see I’m more famous than I realized because you clearly know me but I don’t know you. Who might you be?”That hit home to Carla and she stiffened, no longer smiling. She ha

6: Rules

Carla When I woke up the next morning, I thought that all that happened the previous day was nothing but a dream. However, the sight of the unfamiliar room was a reminder of how my life drastically changed yesterday.As I showered, I tried to imagine how the rest of my life was gonna go in the next one year. I had a feeling I was gonna suffer one way or the other before the year is up, and now that I’ve signed the wretched contract, there was no turning back. I couldn’t even dare to run away again else I had a death wish.I had a feeling Zade had another motive aside from the one he revealed to me. Someone like him couldn’t be trusted at all, he was a literal devil, one that I loathed with everything within me.After dressing up, I reminded myself that I’ll still figure this out no matter how tough it might get for me. With that in mind, I stepped out of the bedroom and walked right into the room next to me, which belonged to Ella.Ella.Zade’s niece.My heart ached in my chest

7: Warnings

Carla Before I could do that, Zade was taking the phone from my hand and answering it, putting it on loud speaker, then he lowered it so it was leveled with my height.I didn’t know why, but that made me feel flustered.“Carla?” Dave’s voice echoed from the phone, and he sounded unsure. At the sound of his voice, the way he ruined my entire life and the way he betrayed me more than once, all came over me in sharp waves, replacing the flustered feeling within me with anger at once.“You bastard, what do you want?” I snapped into the phone, anger making my hands shook by my side.“So you’re really out of jail?” He echoed, sounding surprised and I bristled, wishing I was speaking to him presently so that I could stab him right in the eye with a shard of glass.“Well, what do you think? I can just imagine how unhappy you were to hear that news.” I shot at him and he chuckled through the phone.“I’m just surprised is all. So, who is the person that bailed you? Cause I know you had no

8: shopping for diamonds

Carla A burst of embarrassment came over me and I spluttered, struggling to quickly come up with the perfect excuse, and failing till a few more tries.“I never said that.” I bit at but I was breathing hard, and my cheeks were on fire.“I- I’d never offer you my body as payment! Why would I even do that?” I continued while glaring up at him.“Good, because it wouldn’t work. I'd have rejected the offer since you’re not even my type.” He drawled as he rose to his full height and I found myself spluttering again.“Good!” I ended up yelling back, but inside of me, not only was I feeling embarrassed, I was also feeling a little hurt. I knew I was never his type since when we were little, whereby he only liked blondes and girls that were taller and skinnier. However, I didn’t need to hear him say that, not that it mattered anyway because his preference wouldn’t have changed my mind.He shoved his hand into his pocket and looked me over for a moment, making me swallow emptily and hold

9: A Third Wheel

Carla I stared in shock, and confusion— as Zade held her away from him before she could get fully into his arms, a stormy expression across his face.One thing was very clear. He didn’t look so happy to see his girlfriend. I frowned as I looked between the two of them, which reminded me of the fact I never knew of the fact that he had a girlfriend despite always seeing him in the news and atop the headlines. He was always in the rankings of the most bachelors with potentials, and he was always topping all those lists.Who could have thought he had a girlfriend this whole time? Perhaps he’s the kind to not want his romantic life on the internet? Then why make our faux marriage public?None of this was adding up to me, I noted within myself as I looked between the two of them again, right before Zade dragged Lena behind one of the shelves. Because I was so curious, I trudged along with them just as Zade let go of Lena, an unimpressed look across his face.“What are you doing her

10: Shadows From The Past

Carla I flew into his arms just as his arms came around me and we hugged extremely tightly. I couldn’t believe that I ran into him right now. I literally thought I wouldn’t ever see him again.Back in highschool, I had been about to confess my crush to him, and Serena, my best friend back then had been aware. But the day I planned to confess to him, he had suddenly transferred schools and moved over the to the other side of the country. I had been so confused, heartbroken and sad. I had cried so much that I starved so much till I almost fainted.He still smelt the way I used to remember, like leather and mint together. In the next moment, I was being wrenched out of the hug by a hard grip and I gasped in surprise, my eyes flying open at once.Sebastian had his eyes widened as he stared down at me and when I glanced up at who had wrenched me out of the hug, my eyes settled on Zade’s stormy face. He wasn’t staring at me, he was looking at Sebastian as he spoke in a calm and low
