In the car.There was a deafening silence.Jake was buried deep into his own world of thoughts while Jamie just stared out through the window with small tears seeping out from the corner of her eyes.Even though she would be married to the one she loves to the moon and back,Jamie still felt empty.She felt like she was putting in so much to make this marriage work out yet she received nothing but pain upon pain.Yes Jake had said he would never love her but she didn't believe that because somehow she had a belief that this child would bring her closer to him.What scares her the most is Diana popping out of nowhere back into their lives.That would be a disaster.Look how their lives changed! Indeed,Diana Valdez carried a konk badluck.Finally she got to meet her very own role model..her favorite celebrity.Stephanie Collins.She'd love to admit that she looked a lot like Diana but it was more than obvious that it can't be her.Nothing would ever make Jamie believe that that woman is
Just then Stephanie's phone rang.It was Edward but a surprised look registered on her face.She stood up from her wheelchair and locked the door once Diego was out.Why is Edward calling her? Weird..All the three years of their marriage,she didn't think she'd ever received a call from Edward.It means something is wrong.She picked."Edward?" she spoke firstSilence.And then.."Stephanie" he called gently,which was unusual "Get your ass down here to my villa and come explain to me how this woman is still a virgin!"He ended the call shortly after.Stephanie threw her phone onto the couch.She knew that it wouldn't take time before Edward fore himself on Diana but to think that woman is still a virgin!"Ugh! Seriously Diana!" she screamed out.Never in her life did she think any woman living here in Chicago would still be a virgin.She should have known considering how innocent that little bird looked and now she felt like Diana had ruined everything! Because Edward is not into virgi
I opened my eyes slowly.It was dark.My eyes were fully opened now and the last event replayed in my mind.I slowly realized that..that Edward must have slept with me.A low gasp escaped from my lips as I immediately sat up.I removed the duvet, looking for a sign of blood.But there was nothing.I reminded myself that he could have changed the bed cover.I moved to check other ways.I moved my legs perhaps I'd feel a slight pain down there but nothing,only my sore ankle hurt slightly.I gasped now.What did that schmuck do to me.I dropped my legs from the bed in an attempt to search for him and give him a piece of my mind.When I raised my head up I saw him.Shit.He was staring right at me and that also means he has been staring at me.I noticed his striking features from afar.He was dressed in total black.A black turtle neck and black pants with his gold wristwatch adorning his broad hands.He had a wine glass swinging in his hands.Perhaps he just had a bath because I could see the w
I came out of the bathroom an hour later and met Edward sprawled on the bed.He was fast asleep and he looked so...I sighed in my heart as I lowered myself on the other side of the bed.I still felt really afraid.What if he wakes up at night and try to hurt me again?But I had no choice.There isn't a couch in the room,just the large king sized bed.I laid down properly thinking of the moment he'd threatened to kill Jake.It was like my blood pressure shot up because it was then I realized that the two might clash considering that Jake was now into technologies.I know Jake would never stop looking for me and I also know that if he eventually finds out the truth he'd come and try to take me away.Knowing Edward,he would surely take action and fulfil his threat.Each day that passes the fear in me keeps increasing.Something huge might happen soon;something disastrous.I closed my eyes and opened it again.I prayed silently that if anything should happen, neither Edward,his parents,Jak
Jake Lowell had gone all nights and even the next day searching on informations relating to Stephanie Collins.The only two things he was able to get are not all that relevant.The first was the sudden change of hair color.Stephanie's hair is a lighter shade of brown.Diana's has always been a darker shade and yesterday when he'd seen her,it was indeed a darker shade but if you don't look closely you wouldn't notice.But a claim as this can easily be overruled and that's because you can change your hair color anytime you feel like.Millions of people change their hair color daily.So he cancelled that idea.The second was the eye color.Stephanie's eye color before the accident was black.Very dark.Diana's has always been a lighter shade of grey.He's known her for a long time and she would never change her lens for any reason.Except to swap her identity.So far this second idea of his is the most relevant,at least for now.As he grabbed his sleeveless jacket he already has plans lin
I can't define the silence that followed after that.Even in the car on the way back to the mansion he closed his eyes and never said a word.I wanted to ask but I also didn't want to piss him off the more so I kept quiet and focused on the road.But all of a sudden the car stopped moving.This was when he shut his eyes open.The driver said they were out of fuel and he quickly apologized before leaving to get fuel.Seconds turned to minutes and the driver was nowhere to be found.Edward was buried in his deep thoughts with eyes closed.I couldn't bear the heat and the tension in the car so I stepped out and he didn't even notice.No sooner had I stepped out did a bunch of reporters come to crowd me.Shit.I'd forgotten for a while that I was Stephanie."Ma'am what do you have to say concerning the sudden fall of your husband?" one of them said"Mrs Collins what would your husband do?"My mind was in a haze as they kept pointing their annoying microphones at my lips.I didn't even kn
We were back inside the car and I cannot believe after the show he pulled off there,he was calmly resting his head on the head rest,less concerned.Didn't he just make a very risky bet?!I was furious.Could it be that he did that to impress me??No,I shook my head.But then again to take back position number 1 in three days???My lips has not stop speaking ever since we got back into the car because I really think Edward had acted real foolish back there!Whoever this Diego Louis is he seems to be a hotshot.In the space of how many minute he's managed to take the spotlight that has been Edward's.That also spoke of his tremendous power and Edward just gambled everything to him in three days!"I think you have drank too much,Edward! What is wrong with you?! How..how could you have made such a rash decision!" I was still speaking even when the cold man beside me said nothing."I know it's my fault for..for leading you out there but you should have just ignored them and walk straight int
I walked into the mansion and Elder Mrs Collins jumped on me that instant."Stephanie dear!" she hugged me "Come.." she pulled me to the dinning "Look what I've prepared for you the instant Edward announced you're coming"I gazed at the delicious food on the table and this would be the first time I'd be faced with food and not have the appetite to eat.To be honest I'm really worried about Edward.He spoke to me like..like..I wouldn't see him again.And Hailey isn't even worried considering how excited she is right now.Perhaps she hasn't heard the news.She forced me to seat on the chair.If it had been any other day I would have cleared these food up but not today.I didn't see elder Mr Collins around."Where's dad?" I asked"He's gone on a business trip with some of his old friends but he'll be back,no need to worry okay?"I released a deep breath.I wasn't worried about him."Mom,haven't you heard the news?" I was forced to ask.She took a napkin and wiped her lips before she spoke.
