Cerpen 17 Plus

After chasing a man all my life, I finally felt like I was the luckiest girl in the whole world after he agreed to marry me. Little did I know that I was signing up my life to the devil. I have never felt so suffocated in my life like I did for the three years I was married to my 'Mr. Right.' I honestly did everything there was to keep that marriage thing going, but some things were just never meant to be. Finally, having the freedom I have so much yearned for, I decided to enjoy life to the fullest, but when that husky, rich, baritone voice whispered in my ear, I felt my knees go weak and I felt like I could die if I did not surrender everything to the man who was almost as twice my age. PS: This is a sequel to the book, MY EX WIFE GAVE BIRTH TO QUINTUPLETS. We are officially kicking off the quintuplets series.

I can't give him the satisfaction of believing he is the one who deflowered me. “Wait, I thought you were drunk? I think you are being delusional here Nicholas.

“Why do you look at me like that?” Olivia whispered, her hands shaking. “Like I am something ugly you regret touching.” Kingsley’s eyes darkened. “Because I never wanted you.” Her heart cracked. “Then why didn’t you let me go?” He clenched his jaw. “Because fate is cruel… and now you belong to me.” Tears filled her eyes. “I don’t want to belong to someone who hates me.” His voice dropped, rough and low. “Be careful, little Luna.
