Flowers Are Bait Ch 9

On our tenth wedding anniversary, I was trapped in a cabin with my daughter, Sofia Costello, as floodwaters raged outside. With shaking hands, I used the emergency satellite phone to call my mafia husband, Henson Costello, and begged for help. I dialed more than 90 times before the call finally went through, yet all I heard was the breathy moans of his first love, Angelina Rossi, on the other end. "Henson...slower..." Before I could even process the shock of his betrayal, I heard a conversation that sent me straight into hell. "That kid was dead weight anyway. Trading him for control of Pier 9 was the best deal the family ever made." It seemed that Leo Costello, my son, who had supposedly drowned at the beach five years ago, had not died in an accident after all. Henson had used him as part of a business deal. All this time, I had been drowning in guilt for taking him to that beach, blaming myself for the tragedy. I never knew the truth was this cruel. Tears streamed down my face as my body shook uncontrollably. After ten years of marriage, I finally realized I had never truly known the man I loved and sacrificed everything for. I picked up my phone again and dialed Vincenzo Moretti's number. "Vince, I'll marry you. But you have to help me destroy the Costello family from power." After a brief silence, his voice came through the line. "Aurelia Astor, I've been waiting ten years to hear you say that."

On our third wedding anniversary, I brought a gift to my husband’s office. Walking past the secretary's suite, I stopped dead. A king-size bed had been set up inside. A young woman in a designer dress was sprawled across it, a handheld game console in her hands, surrounded by imported snacks of every variety. "Kevin, the lunch you ordered yesterday was pre-packaged meals. Marcus and I both felt sick after eating it. Today, make sure it's from The Palace Hotel." Kevin -- my husband's personal assistant -- bowed and scraped before her, his face a mask of obsequious flattery. "Mrs. Thorne, please don't worry. Mr. Thorne made it very clear -- everything should be tailored to your preferences and the baby's. He knows you love the chef at The Palace Hotel, so he set up a standing VIP account for you. Anything you want, anytime." She was Mrs. Thorne? Then what exactly was I? My brow furrowed. I glanced down at the wedding ring I'd worn for years. The girl beamed, radiant. "For the baby's arrival, my husband is throwing a lavish yacht party. Every important person in New York is getting an invitation. I want the whole world to know that I'm the love of his life, and that our son will be blessed by the most powerful people before he's even born. The champagne and flowers must be the finest available -- no budget limit. Our child is going to have the best of everything from day one." I stared at the gentle swell of her belly and called my father. "Dad, that divorce agreement you drew up three years ago -- you can have the lawyers send it over now."

ol ni Samantha ang kanyang Tita Claudia. Bago ito nagsimulang maging manyakis at pasaway sa buhay. Akala mo naman mauubusan ng lalaki. At ayon sa kanyang tiyahin, ganun ang magiging peg niya pag hindi siya nag-effort na nahapin ang pana ni kupido habang bata pa siya at sariwa. Kaya nang mag alok ng business trip ang kanyang boss. Para pag aralan ang resort na pag-aari nito. Hindi siya nagdawalang isip. Sinungaban niya ito agad! Sa unang gabi palang niya sa Puerto, sa balwarte ng mga Adams ay nabulabog agad ang mahimbing na pagtulog niya. Malakas ang kabog ng dibdib na napabangon siya! Ayon kay Aldena, ang secretary ng boss niya, wala namang ibang tao sa resort maliban sa kanya! Matagal nang hindi pinansin ng mga Adams ang lugar. Kaya nagmistula itong itinakwil ng mahabang panahon. Kung ganon?. Sino ang lumikha ng ingay! Dalawa lang ang nasa isip niya. Kung hindi ito multo magnanawakaw! o di kaya’y rapest! mananakaw pa ata ang dangal niya sa lugar na ito. “Who are you?! Paasik ng lalaking nasa harap niya. Napapitla si Samantha sa lakas ng boses nito. “Ms.! Umalis kana sa resort ngayon din! Bago pa ako mawalan ng bait sayo! The man turns out to be Alfonso Son! Anak mg boss niya! Rafael Adams! Virus ata ang tingin nito sa pagkatao niya, kung ipagtabuyan siya nito para siyang may nakakahawang sakit!

One night of boldness leads to a marriage of convenience. Just a plain agreement. No commitment but a lot of sex. She is liking the setup until the 'right one' came back. Without a fuss, she left, bringing the memories and another heartbeat. ********** Dumped by her two-year relationship for the reason of her being prude and frigid, Alexzia Montes proves she was otherwise. With four glasses of wine in her system, she delved into a passionate night with a stranger she randomly picked. "Do I need to pay you? How much?" she outrightly asked. "Can you afford me?" he snickers. "Just tell me how much" she stubbornly retorted. She is getting pissed by his arrogance. "500 billion dollars" he briefly replies with raised challenging brows. "What?" she mumbles in disbelief. "My present net worth is more or less 500 billion dollars" he unconcernedly replied. Stunned, she becomes quiet. "That's why you look familiar..." she frustratedly whispers, facepalming herself. The man she often sees on tv and in newspapers but hasn't met in person. The only person in the country who has a five hundred billion net worth. "CEO Lucien Wright..." she whispers in despair, almost indistinct. Of all people, she had chosen the cold and ruthless CEO of Wright Group of Companies. How could she afford him? He could even buy her, body and soul. "I need a wife, a bait for my girlfriend to come back. Name your price" he casually announced, handing her the documents. "Once she is back, you will sign the divorce paper and peacefully leave. I will pay you, just name the amount" he added. The offer is tempting Alexzia. She needs ten million dollars and it's an impossible plight but she has an easy way out, being a Ten Million Dollar Wife to CEO Wright.

In the fifth year of being exiled to a deserted island in the international waters by Chelsea Herrera, I finally learn how to stay extremely humble. When Chelsea brings Derrick Carpenter, a university student she keeps, and a Doberman to the island just to pick me up, I get down on my knees as though it's the most natural thing to do in the world. Then, I wipe the sand off Derrick's shoes with my sleeve before bending over to use my back as their stepstool. "From now on, you're in charge of taking care of Ricky. He and Dobey are your family now." I nod with a small smile. After Chelsea has usurped my family's businesses and forced my parents to jump off a building, she chooses to abandon me on a deserted island so that I can learn to obey her commands. She has succeeded in everything she's done. By the time I finally get to return to the familiar villa, everything there has already changed. I wake up at 4:00 am every morning in order to prepare a nice breakfast for Dobey the Doberman. After that, I groom it properly. At 9:00 am, I've prepared the outfit Derrick will be wearing for the day. Then, I'll travel to a boxing gym so that I can serve as his human punching bag. At night, I prepare some alcohol and snacks while listening to Derrick and his friends laughing at me. They then proceed to discuss how to tame me, the formerly arrogant scion hailing from the ex-richest family in the elite society.

Un soir de plus, mon mari n'est pas rentré pour le dîner pourtant c'était notre troisième anniversaire de mariage. Après plusieurs appels sans réponse il finit par m'envoyer un message contenant une photo de ma demi-soeur et lui entrain de s'embrasser en me disant : voilà ton cadeau, joyeux anniversaire chérie. Francis Delaunay et sa famille m'ont toujours humilié parcequ'après trois ans de mariage je n'ai pas pu donner d'enfant à mon mari. Peu de temps après notre anniversaire il m'annonce que celle-ci porte son enfant. S'en est trop, je vais me venger. Divorcer? Ça jamais, je veux assister de près à sa descente aux enfers. Je vais tous les détruire, tous ceux qui jusqu'ici m'ont méprisé. Mon père vient de me léguer tout son empire. il est le chef de la mafia orchidée, la plus grande et la plus puissante organisation du pays qui influence toutes les sphères du pouvoir.

« Mademoiselle Elara, ceci confirme l'accord concernant votre mort mise en scène. Dans deux semaines, lors de la cérémonie de couronnement de Luna, votre décès sera simulé. Vous tomberez dans les rapides, et la cause officielle sera un empoisonnement à l'aconit. » Lorsque mon compagnon Alpha, Aiden, m'a abandonnée une fois de plus pour des affaires urgentes de la meute, j'ai trouvé un renégat sur le marché noir et j'ai signé l'accord de mort simulée sans la moindre hésitation. Le monde entier des loups-garous croyait qu'Alpha Aiden était follement amoureux de moi. Il jouait parfaitement son rôle, n'oubliant jamais d'embrasser mon front chaque fois qu'il partait. Mais moi seule savais que, la trente-neuvième fois où il m'avait embrassée, il avait aussi passé la nuit, ivre et perdu dans une brume alcoolisée, avec ce mannequin oméga, Cassia. Mais tout cela n'avait plus aucune importance désormais. Alpha souillé, j'en avais fini avec lui. Lors du couronnement qu'il chérissait plus que tout, je m'assurerais qu'il reçoive le cadavre le plus parfait qui soit.
