All Chapters of TRUTH OR DARE: WHEN A QUEEN TAKES HER CROWN : Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

CHAPTER 1Scarlett The days of waiting are finally over now that my wedding is a week away. I don't know if I'll be able to hold back my tears on that day but not even the number of cameras in my face will ever let me pull back my tears if they come. Nothing is greater than getting married to the love of your life, or should I say, the man you've spent all the days of your life with. Daniel Cross, my fiancè, is everything every woman in Windhoek would die to have as a husband, but he chose me, and I believed that was luck—until it ran out. I was at the designer fitting my wedding dress because I couldn't risk anything going wrong on my big day. I mean our big day with my fiancè. But he couldn't make it because of a business meeting, so I asked my bestie Zoe to accompany me instead.“You look just like the angel you are Scarlett," Zoe commented as I walked out of the fitting room.“Are you being for real?" I asked my tears about fall down my face but I held them back.“Yes, just lo

CHAPTER 3Scarlett I couldn't believe what I was seeing. My fiancè was with another woman. I was about to get out of the car and go confront him immediately but something in me just made me wait.Daniel pulled Rhea inside the hotel and I got out of my car to follow them behind. I couldn't believe how they were smiling and holding hands with love.Daniel opened the door for Rhea and then walked in behind her. I could feel my tears coming but the anger I was feeling in that moment wouldn't let me cry. I gathered the courage and walked straight into the room Daniel had just entered with Rhea. What my eyes met was the last thing I ever expected from Daniel Cross. He was lying on that bed with his hand on Rhea's hips as she kissed him. “You're driving me crazy Rhea," Daniel said while I wondered how they didn't even see me standing there.“I'm all yours, Daddy," Rhea replied before she looked back quickly. Daniel asked, “What's wrong?" when she stopped.Daniel then looked at the door

CHAPTER 5Scarlett "Daniel Cross get out!”The nurse probably heard me from outside, so she rushed in to ask if everything was OK, but I told her to take Daniel out of my room. He was at first hesitant and I wished I had enough strength to slap the truth out of him.“She's my wife, OK, let me talk to her," he kept saying as the nurse asked him to go before she called security.Wife? He called me as if I didn't know what I was to him— Some image holder. He didn't deserve to call me that, not after what I found out, and the fact that I'd been dreaming all this while just kept breaking me in every way.“Chris, thank goodness you're here. Can you please tell the nurse I'm her husband?" he said to the doctor, who looked at him and shook his head.“What? Why? Didn't my mother come here?" he asked, probably wondering why that witch didn't stay with me until he arrived.“Ms. Brown asked her to leave and you too should if you want what's best for her," the Doctor responded before coming to ch

Scarlett Zoe had gone to get her hair done at the salon while I decided to remain since it was a little cold. I pulled the blanket tightly around my body, which was still healing. My mind was as though a knife had been taken to every memory and left pieces scattered at every angle. I didn't feel like talking or even facing anyone. But I was fed up with feeling like a victim. I looked at my phone's screen and assumed that it was Daniel trying to reach me at first so I ignored it. Then it buzzed again. From a distance, I looked at the screen expecting to see Daniel or his mother's call, but instead it was from an unknown number. UNKNOWN: Hi Ms. Brown. This is Mr. Lewis Gray from AC STUDIO'S. I believe you received our offer last week. We’d still be honored to have you join us—starting immediately, if you’re ready. I stared at the message. AC STUDIO'S I pulled out my eyes remembering how bad Daniel used to mock them. He even went to the extent of asking me not to take their off

CHAPTER 9Daniel No this can't be.It has just been a few days but my world feels empty without Scarlett. I was going to have a meeting with the investors but there was no one to make all the necessary arrangements.My PA only arranged the paperwork while Scarlett handled the venue every time. Now it feels like nothing is going to turn out great.“Sir, may I come in?" my PA asked."Yes, have you finished everything?” I responded."No, I think there's a delay with the bookings. I told them it was argent but they—”"Get another place we've only 3 hours. You don't want anything to go bad, right?” I cut her off before she rushed out. During times like this, I wish Scarlett were around. Everything would have been done and I just had to worry about persuading the investors.I spun my chair around and then ran my hand through my hair wondering what to do to get Scarlett. Things have already started going south and I am not managing.A knock sounded before my Mom walked in. Her designer pur
