So far so good, her plan has been going well.Arianna was having the time of her life, no, more like pretending to have the best of her life with Big Joe around. She's managed to garner his trust enough to have her shop around the city, have Ice Creams at fancy cafés - intentionally avoiding the place where she works since she doesn't want to implicate Mimi - and of course, hair salons even though Cassie likes to give her one back home. Yep, home - her luxurious prison.Ever since that night she confronted him, Kenith has learned to keep his distance from her. Their relationship was more formal yet tense. She couldn't explain it but there was just something about this man that unnerves her especially when he stares at her the way he is doing right now.Arianna was in the garden having a refreshing tea party with her husband-to-be, Big Joe. To be precise, she was feeding him a piece of cake which he took into his mouth willingly and Kenith stood at the corner watching them with that

"Slap me," Mimi muttered as she found herself in the foyer of Marcel's house. Was she sure she came to the right address? Well then, someone who bought her from her boss must be rich enough to own a mansion like this, she surmised while staring at the reflective marble floor.The interior of the house is focused around a large central hallway serving as the main entrance area to the adjacent rooms. It flows into a large, wide staircase to the private rooms on the second floor. The whole place was spacious, luxurious, and breathtaking, she could almost mistake here for a hotel. "Miss. Miracle?" a voice said from behind and she turned around only for her gaze to rest on a woman with a blonde bob and looked posh from her head to her feet. She felt intimidated. "Yes," The girl raised her hand and added, "And it's actually Mimi by the way. Miracle seems so outdated so I would request a change of name soon,"She was still blabbering when the woman turned around with one single command, "F

Tonight was the D-day, sadly, Arianna's confidence had zeroed down. To be honest, she didn't have any plans but instincts - an instinct that Ruth might have heard of her situation and prepared an escape plan. Unfortunately, she needed a place that can be accessed easily by all and sundry - she was providing Ruth with an opportunity to bust her out. She just hoped that her instincts were right, else she's doomed.Arianna wore a body con sparkly sequin dress that had a deep V neck exposing quite a cleavage. It had no sleeves, just spaghetti straps, and her back was exposed. Her hair was brushed back and then pulled in a ponytail with her eye highlighted with makeup, popping out the green. In one word, Arianna looked hot and provocative - and ready to party!The only problem she had was her entourage. It seems Big Joe didn't trust her as fully as she thought because Cassie and a few other girls - she didn't know about their existence until tonight - would be joining her. Big Joe claimed

Arianna forgot that the world existed anymore as she was high at the moment. And it was in the middle of jumping up and down, whipping her head back and front that her gaze fell on him.He drew her to him like a moth to a flame and she couldn't take her gaze away even if she wanted. What was he even doing here?She saw him whisper some words to the men with him and they dispersed like wildfires. While Rose and the others were still dancing, Arianna discovered something else, the tension in the air was thick. Something didn't seem right.Like a psychopath immersed with his target, Arianna studied Marcel and followed his gaze even when it rested on Kenith leaning over the balustrade from upstairs. She saw everything; the way Kenith's face distorted as soon as he saw Marcel and Marcel looking away as if he didn't want to be seen.Just like her keen senses detected at the café that day, Arianna knew there was something dark and dangerous about Marcel, and now she confirmed that he was a c

Arianna was on a beach in Fiji, sucking down mojitos and laughing in the sun. She was having the time of her life when suddenly dark clouds gathered around the sky and cast dark shadows over them.Soon that dark cloud materialized into a hurricane that pursued her and everyone at the beach. Arianna took off, running hard amid the shuffling crowd. At a point, she watched a man fall to the ground with the others stampeding him to death and that made bile rose to her throat. No, she can't die like this. However, as much as Arianna ran, it was not enough and soon enough the hurricane swallowed her up. Arianna found herself swirling and swirling in the spiral mess until suddenly, she found herself in a church.Arianna abruptly found herself in a church and a wedding gown. What the fuck? But that was the least of her problems because looking to her right was Big Joe standing on a little podium to match her height while a priest stood in front of them."My God, what is happening?!"
