He stood there staring at her wondering if she had lost her mind or something. Was she really asking him why he didn’t come home for almost two weeks? She definitely wasn’t scared of him and that itched his ego. “What did you just say?” He dangerously demanded. She swallowed her thick spit and repeated carefully, “Why didn’t you come home for almost two weeks?” She wasn’t expecting him to react that way so she tamed her little ego and lowered her gaze but then she thought again, why was she afraid of him? She was simply asking something, she wasn’t telling him to sleep with her or something, she proudly raised her head up high and looked deep into his eyes. He walked up to her ever so slowly and stopped right in front of her short self and whispered, “The next time you ask me that, will be the last time you speak in this house, do you understand?” He threatened She nodded meekly as his threatening words flowed down her spine giving her electric shocks and numbing her brains. Bu
“What are you doing here?” Alex grumbled, walking deeper into the room. The humiliated woman pushed herself up and walked up to him, placing her arms around his neck mumbling in a sexy voice,“Look baby, I know I made a mistake earlier but don’t push me away please, I can’t live without you” she slurred. Clearly she was drunk and that angered him the most. “Leave” he stated with a cold glare. She became confused for a minute then a soft look appeared in her eyes and begged again, “Alex…” she started again, pressing her body to his. He hissed and pushed away roughly growling, “Leave Natasha, now” he said again he was deemly in the mood for anything. Being rejected and humiliated for the second time in one day,she gathered her remaining self respect and bounced out of the room raging profusely. He released a heavy sigh then had a warm bath and went to sleep. He woke up the next morning feeling better than he was yesterday. He stood up and had his bath then ordered for a light brea
Two weeks had finally flown by but there was still no sign of Alex whatsoever and that worried Emma. Glancing at the little girl who was so engrossed in playing with her doll with a wide smile on her face, made Emma’s heart clench. The day they found her doll, she was so happy that she couldn’t contain it and fell off a few flights of stairs but instead of crying, she hugged her doll tightly to her chest. Saying, “I really missed you Jenna! I thought I will never see you again” she called her doll’s name. Emma sighed and rubbed the girl’s head then stood up and went to the library to read some educational books. By the time she was done, it was already dinner time but since Mrs. Beena was around that day, she didn’t bother herself and continued to read. “Nanny Emma?” Julia whispered gently, standing by the threshold and holding a tray of food in his hands. Since the day she dressed his wounds and asked if he was being bullied in school and he affirmed it, she gave him a piece of
By the time she could comprehend what he was about to do, it was already too late as he had his arm snakes around her tiny waist pulling her closer to his chest. With his intoxicated breath, he leaned in and pressed his firm but soft lips on her making her shudder slightly. She shifted uncomfortably trying to pry his arms from around her delicate waist but all her attempts were rendered useless, because the more she struggled to free herself, the tighter he held her. “Mr Lightwood…” she started but her voice came out as a sensual moan as he was now kissing his way down her neck. Having a little taste of her made him lose his senses and go wild; he couldn't control himself. His hands skillfully caressed her back pushing her to himself as if it wasn’t enough that their bodies were already too close. Sucking on her earlobe, Emma let out a satisfying moan and wrapped her arms around his shoulder tilting her head to grant him more access. Feeling the heat brewing between them their san
“What the hell?” He mouthed, staring at the computer screen with irritation. What had he done now? He shot the screen closed and sat on his bed thinking of a way to approach Emma now that he knew what he had done to her. No wonder she was trying so hard to keep the truth to herself because it was obviously embarrassing to say it out loud. Finally he made his way to the kitchen and still saw her there seated with a mug in her hand sipping something. “You are back” she stated matter of fact. Sensing his uneasiness she asked, “what happened? Why are you so gloomy all of a sudden?” He turned around walking majestically like a king but only he knew the truth behind his composure. His heart was running a marathon just by staring at her beautiful face. “Ms. Newton…” he started, “what ever happened between us yesterday was a mistake, I was drunk and didn’t know what I was doing so don’t get any wrong ideas okay?” His voice as cold as ice vocalized while his stares sent chills down her spi
Prologue “What are you doing?” Anger, pure anger and extreme fear flowed through her veins. The type of anger that almost feels like a heart wrecking betrayal, making your insides hurt and your mind go red losing its focus. The type of anger that makes you feel helpless and want to lose your sanity yet, there was nothing you could do. That was the type of anger she felt when she stood so close to him her back pressed to the hard wall with her hand painfully twisted behind her back she was sure it was going to leave an angry looking bruise. A dark frightening laughter erupted deep within his throat. It sounded almost like a desperate and defeated one and she gulped painfully. She should have known that daring a belligerent billionaire like himself was a very very stupid idea. The adrenaline shot up her spine making her quiver in utter fear. What has she gotten herself into? The thought of becoming his was the most frightening image she could ever imagine but there was nothing she co
Chapter 1Walking down the quiet starry night of Lagos state, she knew she had made it and that too, with flying colors. Tomorrow, her long anticipated and anxious wait will finally come to an end because she is finally applying for her first internship in her dream hospital. Who wouldn’t be happy about that? No one she quessed. When she arrived home, she found her mom packing up her stuff into her traveling bag and sniffing all along. “Mom?!” She whined calmly, sitting by her side. “Am not leaving forever, I am just trying to further my education, that's all. Why are you so worried?” She asked, wiping away the remnants of her tears. “I know, but the thought of not having you by my side makes me so anxious that I can’t even think straight. What if something happens to you there and I am not close by? What then hmm? Am scared Emma, I don’t want you to leave” she admitted looking at Emma’s face with pity. “Okay, let’s do this”. She started, “I will forget about becoming a successful
Chapter 2“What is happening? She panicked. She walked further into the crowd of people and what she saw was nothing she had anticipated. The once grumpy and rude receptionist was laying in the pool of her own blood. She gasped and took three steps back out of fright wondering what could have happened just within forty minutes of her departure to meet with her future supervisor. “What the hell happened here?” She asked a nurse who was also covered in blood. “Her ex husband happened” was her simple reply. Before anything else could take place, she was immediately rushed to the ER and the police took over by interrogating the remaining receptionist that was present at the moment. She just hopes that her internship wouldn’t get affected by this situation. Don’t get her wrong, she just has a lot to deal with and loads of debts to pay off. She really feels sorry for the grumpy receptionist. But, Why would her husband try to kill her? Nevertheless, she left the hospital and went to the n
