Chapter 24: What is the…?KENYA POV My eyes almost dropped to the ground like marbles as the Uber pulled behind a black Bentley Bentayga parked right outside our two-storey townhouse. What shook me wasn’t the Bentley, no! It was a whole Truck that carried a small sparkly brown, goldfish Bentley continental in front of it. I got out of the Uber and walk-ran to the front porch where Anna was sitting with her knees brought to her chest, her eyes snapped wide, and staring at the two vehicles.“I thought it was our Amazon delivery.” She called out as soon as I was in earshot, then stretched her hand out at me. I clasped it and yanked her to a standing position, then turned around and stared at the truck. The doors of the Bentley thudded closed, and two men finely dressed in blue suits came charging towards the house. “You couldn’t even let them into the house?” I whisper-yelled at Anna as we watched them walking gracefully towards her. One was carrying a clipboard and the other held a
Chapter 25: PeaceROYAL POVI was livid. I didn’t think Luke Fucking Donovan would be so pathetic stoop that low; and that he would actually want to go down that road. I seriously hoped he was clever enough to think better for the future, or that maybe he was just blonde and as a matter of fact, had a head between those shoulders and a brain inside that bloody ball on top of his neck. Clearly, I was wrong, because he seemed to be the kind to let God's emotions get the best out of the room.There was no way the Trods thought of suing me if they weren't pushed and probed by him. No fucking way. That fucker went to them, promised them of some weird shit that they would get if they took me to court. But on what grounds? Did they seriously think I would go down without a fight?“Daddy?” A small, smooth hand pat my cheek, and I shook my head clearing the nasty thoughts of murder and blood. Because I was slowly gravitating there. Luke wanted to play dirty, and little did he know that I too
Illicit Desires KENYA POV The sirens went off the first thing in the morning when I woke up and Anna insisted on taking care of every little thing around the house. From making breakfast, picking up Luc from Royal’s insanely house, packing their lunchboxes… Literally, everything I had no issue doing since I was neither bedridden nor pregnant. But no, baby girl insisted I take care of myself, soak in a tub of hot water with rose petals scattered all over the fluffy dreamy bubbles, and insisted on sending me to the saloon where she had already called in to schedule my appointment; then dragged me to the mall to get some skimpy outfit that took the entire day to find what she actually wanted, and down to the makeup artist who just left less than an hour ago. By six in the evening, I could not believe the woman who was staring back at me in the mirror. Her normally groovy hair was styled and gelled to perfection on my head, the face card looking exactly how any smitten girl would lo
Illicit Desires Part II EDEN POV I glanced around for a waiter-someone to save me from this predicament- only to be interrupted by his god-like voice. “Want a drink? You can always use my glass. I promise you I bathed well when I left.” He said already pouring some into his flute, and all the coherent thoughts fled right through the window! Whatever this man was doing, he must have cooked it in the kitchens of hell. Because it was hell-fire hot! I feigned a smile, took the flute, and then brought it to my lips. Still, his gaze followed every single step, so intensively I was surprised I didn’t choke on my drink. “So, the reason you were called out tonight…” I said and busied myself with the Bentley Key box since it was suddenly the most interesting thing in the world. "Thank you for your generosity, but I won't be accepting the car, Luke." My attention shifted to his good face since what I said was of great importance. What I did not expect was for him to maintain eye
ApocalypseKENYA POVGosh it hurts.It hurts so fucking much.I thought to myself as I clutched my stomach in a tight grip and groaned as the muscles of my now empty stomach jerked up and kicked whatever that was remaining of food in my stomach. The sound of my best friend gagging into the phone speaker had me chuckling after I had thrown up a fair share into the toilet, then dropped to the floor and wiped my puke-smeared mouth before groaning out loud.“Seriously girl, you need to get up and go to the doctor. That’s one hell of food poisoning you got there.” She accused into the speaker, and I breathed slowly through my nostrils as I searched for the discarded phone on the floor with my left hand.“Only if you tell me why the hell you are gagging that side.” I countered dryly, feeling so drained all I wanted was to curl up in a ball and just sleep.I was so tired. So spent.“You’ve been throwing up for the past three hours. That’s so damn unhealthy and yes, I could smell all that pu
Freedom ROYAL POVThe cold rain pour felt like a soothing elixir against my heated, inflamed body as I walked out of the house and into the black, dark night.Everything inside of me hurt. It felt like I had swallowed down on a million razors and blades and they were ripping through my throat with every intake and exhalation of breath.The black Mercedes V-class was parked a good distance from the house, and I walked slowly towards it, letting the density of the situation dawn on me with all its gloominess. It was done. And I don't think after that walk out the door, there was no going back,I had delivered what I had been dreading for this whole entire month. And I had gained my freedom. It was supposed to feel all merry like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders and that I could finally fucking breathe for the first time in a very long time. But why the hell did it feel like a part of my soul had been chipped from me? Why did I feel so empty inside?The car honked, and I st
New BeginningsKENYA POVA few days passed, and I continued wallowing in the pits of hell with pain being the highlight of my every waking moment. Nothing I did seemed to be bringing me solace or consolation I very much needed after that long crusade through hell, and each day the seed in my womb continued growing. Knowing of its existence, knowing that I was carrying a piece of me and Royal inside of me did not help at all. The fact alone was a double-edged sword, and it pierced through me so hard that I couldn’t breathe.There was a point in my life where my whole life revolved around that man, and every grail of my soul knew I would move mountains for him.Had I known how I would fall from grace and crush onto the ground into countless smithereens, I would not have been such a fool and believed true love and happily ever after existed.Or maybe they did, but I was not cut out for that.But through it all, gratitude simmered on low with Anna as she remained stoic and unmoving by my
~FOUR YEARS LATER~TennesseeKENYA POVThe disturbing rattle of the plane touching the ground pierced through the dense haze of sleep. A tiny, small, and smooth hand grazed the side of my face, pulling me further into the land of the living."Mommy? Wake up, Mommy." my eyes snapped wide open, then came into contact with a little darling. A small smile touched his face as I stared into those storm-grey eyes that were glaring at me patiently. My eyes ghosted around his face, taking in the curly razor cut that made him even more cute. I couldn't help but smile."Come here, sweetie." the little goofball jumped into my waiting arms, then rested his head on my chest, nuzzling further for cuddles. The scent of his shampoo and his existence wafted into my nostrils like a breeze of fresh air, and I found myself thanking God for gifting me such a perfect thing."I am sorry I fell asleep baby." I kissed the top of his head, grim satisfaction spreading through me as the smooth inside of his hand
