Even when I'm not in the mood, he wants to fuck. That's like the only fucking thing I’m good for in his eyes. I've been married to Aldwin for three years now, yet I've never truly been happy. And every time I ask, maybe for the six hundredth time, why he married me, his answer never changes: “You are here for my pleasure. Nothing more.”I can now say that I ruined my own life. I walked away from the one man everyone knew was deeply in love with me. He never hid it; it was obvious in the way he looked at me. Instead, I chose an arrogant punk who only married me out of a bet. Call me crazy, hell yeah. I am, because why would I say yes to someone whose name I only know? Maybe that was what tempted me: the thrill. I said yes for the adventure of it, but marriage isn't an adventure you can simply walk away from; it's a one-way door. You don't get to leave when you are constantly disappointed, when conversations feel empty, or when he doesn't know how to hit it right. Yes, from the out

I finally had a day off, and I was determined to waste it perfectly. I was going to meet Ralph for the first time in several months since we had stopped talking after I had turned him down. He had recently replied to one of my countless messages, and we agreed to meet up. I felt guilty that our friendship had been one-sided. For me, it had been a friends-with-benefits thing, but Ralph was in love. I didn't feel the same way. When I told Lisa, “Let's hang out,” she screamed so loud I had to cover my ears. I've been so busy lately that I never have any time for myself.“Did something good happen today?” she asked, wearing a wide grin“Not yet. It's just been a while since I did this. Plus, there's a new dress in my wardrobe I'm dying to wear.” “Okay. I'm certain you don't have a place in mind.” She declared. “Leave that to meeee…!” she screamed again, “Just get dressed.” She dashed to her room to dress up as well.In half an hour, we were at the bar. Ralph was already there. He waved

Somebody wake me up if I'm dreaming. Me? Wife to Aldwin Ellison? And who says dreams don't come true? Even though I never dreamt of becoming his wife, I only wanted a single entry in his little black book of pleasure. We stood outside the bar, and he still held my hand, taking glances between me and the road. Just then, a car stopped in front of us. A valet stepped out and handed the keys to Aldwin. My eyes went wide in shock. Could it be what I'm seeing? An Aston Martin Valkyrie? I wouldn't have expected anything less. It was the perfect cliché for a man like him; a million-dollar car that belonged on a racetrack. Could my night get any better? I stood there, my thoughts running wild, completely lost in the beast of a car before me, when his deep baritone shook me back from la-la land,“Get in,” He pressed a button on the key fob, and with a soft hiss, the car's door swung up into the air like a giant wing. I gasped.“Oh my God! I've never seen anything like this.” I said in utt

A scream jerked me awake. Lisa came running into my room, screaming my name. My heart pounded so loud I could hear it. I switched off the alarm, which was still ringing; it had failed to wake me up. “What was that for? You can be annoyingly too loud sometimes.” I complained, barely listening to whatever she was blabbering about.“Will you just listen? You are all over the news. Lisa’s voice cracked with urgency. “Every media outlet is running the story about the so-called proposal from last night.” She shoved her phone in my face, “See?”Some headlines called it a scandal. Others claimed Aldwin was drunk and mistakenly proposed to a mysterious woman. Of course, that woman was me, a nobody, not worth mentioning beside a billionaire whose name alone carried weight. Someone must have recorded it last night. I wasn't surprised. In a crowded bar with phones everywhere, it was almost inevitable.The media had finally seized the story they’d been yearning for: “After years of public denia

“Girlll! You are literally living my dream.” She whispered in awe.Just then, the man walked towards us.“Miss Kora?” He asked, his face stern.“Yes,” I replied.He gave a curt gesture towards the car. I waved at Lisa, still in disbelief, and followed him.He opened the back door, motioning for me to enter.The cool, perfumed air enveloped me the moment I stepped inside. I couldn’t stop the smile that spread across my face.“So where are you taking me?” I asked the stern-looking assistant as he settled into the driver's seat.“To Aldwin.” He replied bluntly.“I know that. I mean, where exactly?”He hesitated for a moment before answering, "You'll find out when we get there.” He drove off immediately.It was quiet throughout the ride until we finally reached our destination.A giant gate swung open, and we drove in. This was it: the legendary mansion I had only heard about. It had a massive compound. A grand fountain stood at its centre. Sculptures stood in elegant poses alo
