"Who's there?" He heard someone asked but Renee didn't speak. It was the voice of a male which Damian quickly assumed was her father until the person got to where she was standing. "You?" They both chorused, staring and glaring at each other in shock. Damian watched the man with a kid in his hands. "Oh I see…." Damian chuckled, looking at Renee, then at Ace. "I see why you pretended not to know me. You run away to get married to your lover, making all of us think you're dead," he said bitterly, his eyes piercing through Renee's soul."What the hell are you talking about?" A confused Renee asked."Quit pretending Maya," Damian cut her off, and for some reason, Renee felt her heart clench. "Do you have any idea what you put us through? Do you even know how much grandpa suffered after we all thought you were dead? He doesn't even talk to me anymore, everyone thinks it's my fault but here you are, enjoying life with your lover," he said, a mix of sadness and bitterness in his voice."I
"Please don't hit my stomach, spare my innocent baby, please," the woman begged for mercy, desperate to save her unborn child. But these people, driven by their own dark ambitions were unmoved by her pleas. "Don't spare her, hit her," a familiar voice yelled from the corner of the room. They continued their assault, inflicting more pain on her. Renee was suddenly jolted awake, her heart racing from the terrible nightmare she just had. As she sat up on the bed, her mind was clouded with remnants of the dream, she took a deep breath trying to calm herself. Why does she keep having this particular nightmare? Was there something she wasn't remembering? What was going on? Why did the nightmare feel so real? Why was she begging them to spare her child? Who were those men? And why did one particular voice familiar?She shivered, feeling a chill run down her spine as she remembered the dark shadows and haunting images. Unable to shake off the lingering unease, Renee decided to get out of b
Maya’s head would snap towards the entrance whenever she heard the door open. Who she was looking for? She had no answer to that. The sound of the bell was just catching her attention.Closing her eyes as the bitter liquor run down her throat, she thought about what she would do after this place. She owed her parents an explanation and she wasn’t going to run away from it.She wasn’t a drinker but she needed this drink to get her mind of that traitor. How could he do this to her? What wrong did she do to deserve this? How has he been keeping this from her for a long time now? She sobbed silently as the images from a hour ago played in her head over and over again. She was taking alcohol to get her mind off it but it wasn’t working. Maybe she just needed more. With that thought in mind, she waved the bar tender over and ordered more bottles.He told her he loved her. He told her he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. He promised to make her happy. He promised to always be the
A male silhouette could be seen in the dim lit room. All those standing around him had their head bowed and dared not to look in his eyes.One look from him and pee would be running down your pants."Is she not here?" He asked and the man right in front of him shook his head."You know I hate lateness," he said and the man nodded."I explained everything to her but I don’t know the reason behind her lateness boss,"was the man’s reply."So do something about it," the man who was being addressed as boss said coldly.Just then the door flew open and a woman who looked heavily drunk walked in."Sorry boss we tried to stop her but she...." the guy who run in after her started speaking but he was cut off by the boss."But what? What’s your work out there? You couldn’t even handle a woman, a drunk one to be precise so what shows you can handle someone who means harm?""Oh this is not a washroom?" The woman said running her hands through her messy hair. "I need to use a washroom so bad," she
The whole room was dead silent as they all waited for the volcano to erupt. Seconds passed and the place was as silent as a deaf person’s world. This mysterious woman just broke a rule and the boss is just quite? What spell did she cast on him. They heard her blow the hair off her face loudly only for them to return back to her face. After doing that for a few seconds, their eyes widened in shock as they watched their boss tuck her hair behind her ear."Why don’t you want to leave?"The boss asked with furrowed brows."I’ll never tell,"she said shaking her head.Damian looked at the woman sitting on his laps and he felt intrigued by her. ’Did she actually know who he was? Was she behaving like that because she was drunk? What at all could make her drink so much?’ All these questions and more run through his mind as he stared at her."Where do you live?"Damian asked."Please don’t send me home, dad’s gonna kill me if I go home like this,"she pouted making him chuckle."And...""Boss she
Maya groaned loudly as she rubbed the sleep off her eyes. She blinked several times to adjust to the morning light and hissed in pain due to her headache. "Drinking so much was the worst decision of my life," she mumbled whiles rubbing her forehead. Tilting her head to the left, she saw a glass of water with a note attached to it making her aware suddenly aware of her environment. She looked around the huge bedroom with her heart beating madly against her chest.Did she do something stupid after she was drunk? Whose room was she in? Why was she here? Did she come willingly? She quickly pulled up the sheets and sighed in relief when she saw all her clothes in tact. Her head was spinning badly but she needed to get out of her. Just when she was about to jump off the bed, the glass of water greeted her again.’Maybe the note had a clue’ she thought ripping it from the glass."You drunk so much last so you’re probably having a hangover. Take the aspirin and you’ll feel better. I’ll be joi
"Wife?" Alfred said shock evident in his voice. Who was this guy? And why the hell was he calling Maya his wife. His plan of getting married to Maya would backfire if he didn’t act fast. He didn’t want to lose Maya, not because he loved her. He just wanted to make her life a living hell and whoever this guy was, he was trying to mess his plans up."Wow, you see this uncle? What is there to deny again? What did you tell me? Maya would never do such a thing but here’s proof," Alfred said taking advantage of the old man weakness and it made Maya angry."Shut up Alfred!" She yelled and a deafening silence followed as everyone looked at her. "You are getting what you want right? Are you happy now? Or you want to see my head rolling on the ground? Huh?," Maya pauses and took in a deep breath, wiped her tears and continued."I loved you Alfred but I guess none of that meant anything to you because you didn’t think twice before inviting another woman into your bed," Maya who was already tired
"I....I...I am sorr...y," she stammered but it was already too late. Damian gripped her hard enough for her to feel her jaws crack. " If you ever want to lose your fingers, lay a hand on me again," he threatened her. Maya winced in pain as tears blurred her vision. She shook her head slightly whiles trying to get him to loosen his grip. After few seconds of struggle, Damian let her go.Maya immediately shifted as far away from him as possible."Did Alfred really pay this man to do all this to her? Why? Why wouldn’t he just leave her alone? Where was this man taking her to?" Maya sobbed silently as she rubbed her chin.Few minutes later, the car drove into a huge mansion Maya immediately recognized. This was the place she had run away from earlier. But why did he bring her here? What was going on?"Are you going to stay here?" Damian’s cold voice broke her chain of thoughts and she looked up to see him already standing outside."I.... I don’t want to stay here," she said shaking her he
