VERA.“Father, why? Why would you want me to betray my husband?”“All of these aren't adding up in any way. I know you don't really like telling me anything that's going on but this is my husband we are talking about.” I explained and hoped deep down that he understood me and maybe he would do something different this time and put me in the light. As I overemphasized over and over again that Luan was my husband, it made my stomach grumble. Even though that was the reality I found myself in, I still didn't want to accept it. At least, not yet. I felt that there was something I could do. My father went silent, it was then that I knew I had crossed the line with all my questions. I just stayed on the other side of the call waiting for him to drop the bomb, for him to scream at me and rain curses down on me.The call was getting awkward and even though I was scared to admit it to myself, I was actually getting scared of what he was going to do next. “Father.” I said, my voice was shaky a

THIRD PERSON'S POV.Vera remained quiet inside the room, she tried not to make too much noise so as not to draw unnecessary attention to herself. They would probably think she was asleep by now meanwhile she was waiting for the perfect time to sneak around.“Is this really worth the risk?” She said to herself as she now faced the door. She already got herself off the bed and stood right in front of the door with her right hand on the knob. She was contemplating whether to go out and sneak around or stay inside. Eventually, she made up her mind. Gently, she unlocked the door and twisted the knob from right to left, opening it. She swallowed saliva in fear. After she took her first step outside, she looked around to see if the guards were there. Luckily, the hallway was clear. She felt relived. She lifted her head up a little as she tried to have a proper glance of all the frames hung up. The mansion was so big and the walls were super tall. She was so certain that it took a lot of wor

VERA.I stepped right into the walk in closet that was filled with a lot of designer pieces. I lifted my eyes a bit as I scanned the entire place carefully. The transport glass made it more easier for these pieces to shine. I was even more confused on what to wear. Only if Luan had given me an answer to my question. Only if he told me where we were going to…I let out a loud sigh, I was beginning to get tired. “Maybe I should go for this.” I said to myself as I touched a jean material. “This and floral T-shirt would do I guess.” I carefully brought out the denims so as not to make a mess. I unfolded it and saw it was actually a cute jumpsuit made out of jean material. Wow, what a life saver. Now I don't have to worry myself to look for a T-shirt. I grabbed one white canvas and black ankle pair of socks and left. After getting ready, I stood right in front of the mirror. I was impressed with how good I looked. One thing I knew for sure was that I was gorgeous and sexy. The jumpsuit

VERAThe fight continued and it was unbearable… even more unbearable when I sighted blood in the fighters. I almost threw up and I had to look the other way so I could stop watching. I was sure that if I watched any second longer, I wouldn't be able to hold it back. Finally, the first half of the match came to an end and the announcer announced a short break to allow the fighters to take a breather.During this time, I thought about escaping again but when I turned my head, Luan's men had their eyes on me. Just as the short break was about to come to an end, a commotion broke out amongst the audience. “What's going on?" I asked one of the judges. “Usually, the fans argue amongst themselves about who's going to win the match," the judge replied, unfazed by what was going on. “Are you saying this happens all the time?" I asked, my gaze never leaving the now heated argument.“Yeah but don't worry, it will die down soon," the judge said. I took the judges word and tried to focus on someth

VERAWhen he grabbed my neck, I thought he was going to kill me. Memories of Richard's assault flooded my mind and tears filled my eyes. I could hardly breathe. When he eventually let go of my neck, I collapsed to the floor, gasping for air. He walked into the bathroom, not concerned that he almost killed me a while ago. While on the floor, I thought of ways to get rid of him because I couldn't afford to suffer the way I did while I was still with Richard. Even if it means killing him the way I did Richard, I had to escape this life.I was still on the floor when he came out of the bathroom, dressed in sweatpants. His hair was still a bit wet, an indication that he had just taken a shower. Without a word said, he climbed onto the bed. I glared at his back and waited until he had fallen asleep. I could hear soft snores coming from him and that was when I realized he had slept off. I quietly went to my side of the bed to get the knife I had hidden under my pillow. It was still there so
