CHAPTER ONE
"Am I speaking with Miss Anna ?" a voice across my phone asked.
"Yes. Who am I speaking with, please?
"I am Attorney Luis Davis from A and A Law Consult ." My heart skipped a beat since I had no association with a law firm so I am wondering why the call.
"Hello?"
"Erm, yeah I am. What's the issue, please? Have I done anything wrong? I am quite confused that's all."
"Miss.Anna you have nothing to worry about. I am calling to have a very important conversation with you," he said, his tone professional.
"Alright, what's it about?"I asked, sounding a bit curious now.
"Well, Mr Williams Donovan requested that I have a meeting with you to discuss something very important with you. He mentioned that you should visit my office with your father who was his driver for this meeting."
"Okay but can I know what exactly this meeting is about?", I asked.
" I am sorry Miss Anna this is very confidential information which can not be discussed over the phone and without the presence of your father."Mr Luis replied warmly.
"Alright, sir. I will inform my father about this meeting then. When is the meeting?"
"Tomorrow at 10:00 AM at my office," he says
"Okay Sir"
"That's perfect. I will send you my office address and please the time is 10:00 am do not forget."Mr.Luis replied
Okay sure I won't.
"That's great then. See you and your father tomorrow at my office. Goodbye Miss Anna"
"Bye, Mr. Luis".
I ended the call feeling a sense of nervousness for tomorrow's meeting. I am confused right now because what in the name of hell was that all about? I honestly do not know what is so confidential that it can't be discussed over the phone and needs the presence of my father.
I set the table for dinner and waited for my father to discuss this so-called meeting with him. I look around the house feeling very sad because I miss my mother so much. It has been a year already since we lost her to leukemia so now it is just Dad and I doing this thing called life together. I miss her meals and our endless conversations about my boring relationship life. My mom was my best friend we did everything together even during her last days on earth we were inseparable. Tears run down my cheeks as I remember her and miss her much more this evening.
"Mom wherever you're I miss you so much today I do not know why but I just want to hug you tightly. Continue watching over us Mom. I will always love you". I silently murmur to myself.
I hear the front door of our little apartment open and there he is the most important man in my life my father Mr Oswald Smith appears.
I hug him tightly as I always do. Yeah, that's our little tradition.
"Welcome home Dad. How was your day?" I ask as I begin to set the table for dinner.
"Thank you, my Princess. Today was quite stressful since I had to drive my new boss around town most of the day," he says as he sits for dinner.
"Your new boss?"
"Yes, my princess . Mr.Williams Donovan's son Damien is now my new boss".
"Ow okay but I thought Damien could drive himself ."
"Yes he can but he has instructed me to be driving him around from now onwards. Come to think of it Anna if he decides to drive by himself, I will be out of a job. So I am grateful to drive him around."Dad says with a sense of gratitude in his tone.
"Well, you're right Dad. I hope that my job application as a Marketer at the new insurance company that's about to be opened will be accepted so I can help with the expenses and if possible retire you."
"I hope you get employed too, my princess. Enough of this talk what did you make for dinner?"My dad asks as he takes a plate across the dining table ready to serve himself.
"Well, I made your favourite rice and chicken stir fry with vegetables."
"Great I am starving. This looks very delicious. I am very sure it will taste good as always." he says with a smile on his face.
"Dad, there is something I want to tell you,'' I say glancing up to see his reaction.
My dad gives me a worried look and takes his seat to listen to whatever I have to say.
"I am all ears, my princess. What's the matter?" his voice filled with concern.
"Okay Dad, so I received a call from one Attorney Luis Davis from A and A Law Consult, he wants to meet us and discuss something very confidential with us. He said that he called because Mr.Williams Donovan before he passed on requested that we have a meeting with him to discuss this confidential information." I spill out everything with a hint of confusion and anxiety in my voice.
"Hmm okay, but did he give you any idea what this meeting might be about?"Dad asks, looking at me for clarity.
" No Dad he didn't."
"When is this meeting you're talking about?" Dad asks.
"Well he said tomorrow at 10:00 am and he has already sent me the location of his office. I guess we have to meet him tomorrow so we know what it is about."
"Hmm alright, my princess. I wonder what is so important that Mr. Williams wants you and me to meet his Attorney. Anyway, we will get to find out tomorrow . There's no need to worry as Mr.Williams Donovan was of great help to our family when he was alive."Dad reassures me and goes back to eat his meal.
My father is right, there is no need to worry because Mr.Williams helped to finance my college education and helped with my mother's treatment until her last breath.
"Eat up my princess we will deal with this tomorrow. Do not worry everything will be fine. The food tastes amazing as always. Thanks for dinner, my princess."My Dad says and leaves for his room.
Rena got into an entanglement with a big shot when she was drunk one night. She needed Waylen's help while he was drawn to her youthful beauty. As such, what was supposed to be a one-night stand progressed into something serious. All was well until Rena discovered that Waylen's heart belonged to another woman. When his first love returned, he stopped coming home, leaving Rena all alone for many nights. She put up with it until she received a check and farewell note one day. Contrary to how Waylen expected her to react, Rena had a smile on her face as she bid him farewell. "It was fun while it lasted, Waylen. May our paths never cross. Have a nice life." But as fate would have it, their paths crossed again. This time, Rena had another man by her side. Waylen's eyes burned with jealousy. He spat, "How the hell did you move on? I thought you loved only me!" "Keyword, loved!" Rena flipped her hair back and retorted, "There are plenty of fish in the sea, Waylen. Besides, you were the one who asked for a breakup. Now, if you want to date me, you have to wait in line." The next day, Rena received a credit alert of billions and a diamond ring. Waylen appeared again, got down on one knee, and uttered, "May I cut in line, Rena? I still want you."
"You're mine, little puppy," Kylan growled against my neck. A soft gasp escaped my lips as his lips brushed my skin. My mind screamed at me to push him away-the Lycan Prince who had humiliated me again and again, but my body betrayed me, leaning into him before I could stop myself. He pressed his lips against mine, and his kiss grew more aggressive, more possessive as I felt my legs weaken. What was I doing? In a split-second, I pulled away and slapped him hard across the face. Kylan's eyes darkened, but the smirk on his lips exposed his amusement. "You and I both know we can't fight this, Violet," he said, gripping my wrist. "You're my mate." "And yet you don't want me," I replied. "You told me you were ashamed of me, that l'd never be your queen, that you'd never love me. So please, accept my rejection and let me go." "Never," he whispered, his grip tightening as he pulled me closer. "Soon enough, you'll be begging for me. and when you do-I'll use you as I see fit and then I'll reject you."
After spending a night with a strange man on the day before her wedding, Arianna left the country to start her life afresh. The 22-year-old Arianna Jason lived her life pleasing those she loved the most, without knowing that she was simply a prey being nurtured for the day of her ruin. Her life has tasted the butter pill of betrayal. She wants to give back to the world what she's got but how can she change her good, innocent personality to fit into a cruel society and world? Can her sweet nature be contaminated, or will she make it through, paddling on the right path?
Once upon a time, there were two kingdoms once at peace. The kingdom of Salem and the kingdom of Mombana... Until the day, the king of Mombana passed away and a new monarch took over, Prince Cone. Prince Cone, has always been hungry for more power and more and more. After his coronation, he attacked Salem. The attack was so unexpected, Salem never prepared for it. They were caught off guard. The king and Queen was killed, the prince was taken into slavery. The people of Salem that survived the war was enslaved, their land taken from them. Their women were made sex slaves. They lost everything, including their land. Evil befall the land of Salem in form of Prince Cone, and the prince of Salem in his slavery was filled with so much rage. The prince of Salem, Prince Lucien swore revenge. 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳 Ten years later, thirty-years old Lucien and his people raided a coup and escaped slavery. They went into hiding and recuperated. They trained day and night under the leadership of the fearless and cold Lucien who was driven with everything in him to get back their land, and take Mombana land too. It took them five years before they ambushed and attacked Mombana. They killed Prince Cone and reclaimed everything. As they screamed out their victory, Lucien's eyes found and pinned the proud princess of Mombana. Princess Danika. The daughter of Prince Cone. As Lucien stared at her with the coldest eyes anyone can ever possess, he felt victory for the first time. He walked to the princess with the slave collar he'd won for ten years rattling in his hand as he walked. He reached close to her and with a swift movement, he collared her neck. Then, he tilted her chin up, staring into the bluest eyes and the most beautiful face ever created, he gave her a cold smile. "You are my acquisition. My slave. My sex slave. My property. I will pay you in spades, everything you and your father ever did to me and my people." He stated curtly. Pure hatred, coldness and victory was the only emotion on his face. .
"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare. He couldn't stand her, but she needed him, if she was ever going to escape her husband who now wanted her dead. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't. She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.
Her fiance and her best friend worked together and set her up. She lost everything and died in the street. However, she was reborn. The moment she opened her eyes, her husband was trying to strangle her. Luckily, she survived that. She signed the divorce agreement without hesitation and was ready for her miserable life. To her surprise, her mother in this life left her a great deal of money. She turned the tables and avenged herself. Everything went well in her career and love when her ex-husband came to her.
