REVENGE and TEMPTATIONS 99.
I groaned as my eyes opened groggily. The first thing I noticed was that I was no longer in the hospital room.I lurched forward in shock, but my body was dragged back with a force that caused me to look down. I was tied to a chair, and the movement has caused pain to travel up my healing hand.Blood trickled down the bandaged hand, meaning I must have hurt it while trying to move. I winced as the pain from the hand increased.“Can I get a fucking break? I was just shot and now kidnapped.” I cursed and looked to the ceiling, but there was nothing to look at.The roof was falling, and I doubt it would hold if a storm were to happen.“And an abandoned warehouse too,” I scoffed when I took in my surroundings. Judging from the look of this place, I’m sure no one has been here in years.“Aren’t you going to come out, Sabrina?” I called when no one would step forward or speak to me.I wasn’t stupid. I could feel eyes on me, so I knew she and whoever helped her bring me here were in the shad

“I’ll wait for you by the car." Divine pressed the kiss to my forehead and walked back to the car while I made my way into the cemetery.I haven’t been here since dad was buried, and it was weird, to say the least. I missed him a lot, and I was sorry that I had never visited since the six years he had been here.Maybe I was ashamed because of the hate I felt towards him in the four years that followed his death.It didn’t take long for me to reach this spot where he was buried. Words could not describe the emotions that were flowing through me as I placed the flower on the grave.“Hi dad,” I whispered, and I took a seat on the grass beside his grave. Thankfully, Shiro had paid someone to always make sure that the grave was always clean and well taken care of, so there were no overgrown grasses or thorns on the bed.“I’m sorry I haven’t visited in a very long time. I was very angry because of the misunderstanding caused by Sabrina. I’m sure you must have been lonely.” I’m also cute, wh

Three Years Later:I checked my appearance for the nth time. I was nervous, but I was also excited because today was my baby's first recital.I can’t believe three years have passed since everything happened. My life has been so happy. I can’t ever remember it’s signing my life when I felt this much peace for such a long time.I had nothing to worry about; I was surrounded by people who loved me and supported me. It was insane that I had a life that was so perfect.My phone began ringing, and he picked it up from the table in front of me."Obaasan,” I cried out happily as soon as he answered the call. “I was just going to call you.” I said it with a smile in my voice.“I’m sure you were,” she teased. Ever since I promised to call her one day and I forgot to do so, she never believed me. I told her I wanted to call her.“I promise. I was going to call you because I wanted to talk to you before we left the house,” I said with a pout.“You haven’t left yet?” She questioned me with an acc

Fear. That was the emotion that hovered over my head as I stared at the paper in my hand. My doubting gaze found that of my best friend and personal doctor, Nova who mirrored my expression. She understood. She had to. We had gone through this scene six times already. The tears I had been trying to keep at bay finally broke through and my vision became blurry as my eyes scanned through the words printed on the paper. A stray tear dropped on the paper, and I wiped my eyes with the back of my hand to make sure another didn’t fall. The result wouldn’t change but I couldn’t help but read it again and again. I needed to make sure it wasn’t a dream. My emotions were conflicting. I didn’t know if I wanted this result to be a reality or a dream. I was pregnant. Again. And it was going to be my seventh pregnancy in four years, all of which never passed the first trimester. The happiness I was supposed to feel with the news had been replaced by panic. My throat was tight and I was aware

“Silas?” I whispered. My head was spinning and I held on to the door for support as a painful chilling sensation wrapped around me like a second skin. It felt like my heart was being ripped from my chest with malice. I didn’t want to believe what I was seeing but I had no choice. It was right in front of me, this ugly revelation I must see. Silas and Blair took a minute to register I was in the room before they flew apart from each other. I watched them with a new kind of despair as they scrambled to get anything to cover their selves. Confusion mixed with betrayal tugged my heart as it shattered. Disbelief and denial mixed in with the broken pieces which left me in a state of anguish. “Darling, it’s not what you think” Silas quickly put on his briefs and tried to approach me, but I took a step back. I didn’t want him to touch me with the same filthy hands he had been using to pull Blair’s hair back as he fucked her raw, without a condom. “That’s too cliché of an answer, don’t yo

I felt like glass as I stood to the side and watched from behind my dark shades as Dad’s coffin was lowered to the ground. I was still finding it difficult to come to terms with it even though reality slapped me hard in the face with the scene in front of me. Dad was gone and he wasn’t coming back. I tipped my head back to stop the tears that were about to fall but my efforts were futile as a stray tear dropped down my cheek, betraying me. It had been three long and painful weeks since Nova found me and delivered the worst news to me. Everything had been a blur up till now. My grip on Nova’s hand tightened painfully but she didn’t say a word of protest. Instead, she rubbed circles at the back of my hand with her fingers. She hadn’t left my side since then and I was grateful for it. If she had not been present, I would have probably lost my mind. Sniffing brought my attention to the side where Silas, Blair and Sabrina stood with fake tears streaming down both women’s faces. I could

My eyes flew open just as a gasp tore through my mouth. My breathing was laboured and I winced as the light blinded my eyes for a few seconds, forcing me to close them again as a result of the sting.I took a few seconds before I let my eyes flutter open again. I felt disoriented and my eyes darted around the room to try to remember where I was and how I got there.I tried to sit up but ended up falling back against the bed and hissing out as a sharp pain came from my abdomen at the same time realization whipped me harshly.Images unfolded before me mentally like I was watching a TV screen as I saw myself being hit by a car.“My baby” I cried out in horror, my hand flying to my stomach to check if I was fine as if my action would magically provide answers for me.It was also the same time I noticed the needle in my hand which was attached to a drip and the beeping sound of a monitoring machine.I tried to rip the needle out of my hand but the door opened and a nurse carrying a tray en

FIVE YEARS LATERMy eyes glided over the familiar view of San Francisco as the plane descended, causing my stomach to tie into knots and nausea to hit me harder than a storm. Memories I thought were buried assaulted me like the smell from a lively kitchen only this time, it made my stomach churn. It was supposed to be easy to be back since I thought I was stronger but I guess my supposed new strength was all in my head. I wanted to say that I was back home, but could I still consider this place that was the cause of my nightmares my home? I shivered involuntarily as the plane finally stopped and the door was opened for passengers to exit. I remained seated as the other passengers hurried out of the plane to unite with family members or friends. It felt like I could hear the blood rushing through my veins and I was hesitant to move. I should have allowed Nova to pick me up instead of meeting up at the house. Maybe it would have helped but I needed to do something first. “You’ll
