The air was chilled and cold as the night reached and the clouds were covered with dark clouds. I walked boldly to the restaurant that Miriam had picked for our dinner date, it was classy just like she had always wanted her dates to be. I knew that Miriam liked Spencer a lot, which was not my problem. I have already made up my mind to make her mine once Spencer was out of the way.But to get the deed done, I needed someone who would be a good informant to me. Miriam was the best person to play this role, however, she must remain in the dark about the role that she was about to play. “You have a fine taste, Miriam, like always,” I complimented her.My mission tonight was simple… convince Miriam to feed me with a few important information about Spencer and in exchange for her hard work, I will get rid of Sydney Talker who posed as a great threat to her.“Thank you, Collins,” she replied as she blushed slightly.Knowing too well that Miriam was not the kind of lady who was swayed easil

I felt the cold water being splashed on me several times, I gasped and snapped my eyes open immediately. I was in an unknown room and my hands were tied to the back of the chair behind me. Tessa and Collins stood in front of me with a concerned look on their faces, but when they saw that I was okay, their smiles were replaced by a smirk.“I'm deeply sorry for the way Tessa mishandled you. For a second, I thought you were never going to wake up,” Collins mocked.“Get me out of here. How can you be Spencer's cousin brother and still have the mind to do this to me?” I asked him as tears spilled down my eyes.I don't understand why this is happening to me. This isn't the way I mapped out my life to be. Leaving my marriage was never my intention but being kidnapped by Spencer's cousin's brother is way out of the league. It's not even making any sense to me at all.“Unfortunately, I believe that you have not asked Spencer about his past. Let me give you some highlights of what happened to S

Her eyes opened slowly after being administered some medications by the doctor. I held her hand tight as she stirred on the bed.“Sydney, you are finally awake,” I said to her.She turned to look at my face then she pulled her hand from mine. “ Why did you come to save me?” She asked.That was a weird question. I was expecting her to be happy and grateful that I rescued her but instead, she was angry at me.“What do you mean by that?” I asked her.She was silent for a while then she shook her head. “Forget about it,” she replied.“Sydney, you know that you can talk to me about anything,” I said.“All I want is a glass of water,” she said instead.I nodded and poured out a glass of water for her to drink. The door opened and Lydia walked in with worry written all over her face.“Syd, are you okay now?” Lydia asked.“Yes, I am fine now,” Sydney replied.“Let me call the doctor, I'm coming back,” Lydia said and left.“What happened to you last night? Do you have any idea about who was the

“What do you want now?” I asked her.I was already boiling in anger as I remembered that Miriam was the reason why Collins had kidnapped me in the first place. I'm supposed to be the one to bombard her with loads of questions about what she was doing with Collins and why she had told him about me.“I heard from Spencer that you were also kidnapped. Who was the mastermind behind your kidnap?” Miriam asked.I sighed. Of course, this was all she wanted to know about. If I tell Miriam about Collins, this will boost their alliance and make them partners in crime. Miriam would do whatever she could to get rid of me so she could have Spencer to herself.“I don't know who was behind the kidnap. Just as you were kept in the dark, so was I. I also want to know who the mastermind is but there is no way I can figure that out because all the traces have been cleaned up,” I replied smartly, keeping a straight face so that Miriam would not suspect me.“It's so frustrating as I continue to think abou

I sighed as I turned around to see Jessica, standing behind me with her hand on her waist. She wasn't alone, her mother , Andrea was standing beside her. Both women had a smug expression on their faces as they glared at me. I was ready for anything they were about to say to me.I have always known that my conversation with my husband's family never ended well, so now that I wasn't a part of their family, the conversation was not going to be any different.“Hi, good evening, Jessica and Andrea. It's been a very long time since I saw you two last,” I said, trying hard to sound as nice as possible.Jessica guffawed. “You really have the guts to show your face here after all the drama you acted back then. I thought that you will never show your face to us ever since you walked out of this family. But here you are, acting like you're the nicest person in this fucking world!”“I know that you never liked me, Jessica. But can we put that aside and keep our characters together at least for Ai
