Chapter 1 BETWEEN SHADOWS

CHAPTER ONE

It was 5 am, the weather was cool. The bird flies high above the sky in search of their daily bread, Elena was awake looking through the window pondering "how the bird feeds with no one looking after them".

Mr.Mike and his beautiful wife Clara were happily married with no child, Mike who is a cop, and his wife a chef: Mrs. Clara is a respectful woman, calm, loyal and cheerful her work takes much of her time at home as she travels various countries to dispatch her duties.

Elena whose parents lost their lives in a fatal car accident has been with this couple for some months but has never been pleased.

Most times she became solitude while she soliloquies

ELENA'S POV

"I have lived my life to the fullest, yet my heart has never been filled with Joy. Ever since I lost my parents, life and death have become a shadow in which I live in-between".

"Look at the bird they have no one to feed them, yet they always get fed daily, I love to forget memories about my parents but it never stops coming".

While pondering on her experience she heard a knock at the door "who could that be she asked"?

Who is that?.

Is mike, sorry for disturbing may I come in?

Come in! "she ordered politely"

He walk-in with a smile seeing Elena sitting on the bed he gently sat on the couch.

Uncle Mike! Hope there is no problem, you wake up early to check on me I guess you have something to say?

Well, I guess so, I would have been at work but today am on leave so I decided to know if you are fine.

Uncle Mike, am always fine if anything bothers me you should be the first person to know about it.

"You know am not always around to check on you due to my work schedules and my wife has been complaining about your loss of appetite this day". Mike said.

Elena took a deep breath stood up from her bed to have a glass of water while she looks to the mirror beside her window:

"My appetite for food can never be regained for now because I have something important to feed on".

"And what could that be?" He curiously asked.

"My thought of course! I need to feed on them in other to erase my fears, pains, and memories. ever since I lost my parents I felt empty like a basket that can never be filled" she said while she gushes out tears!!.

Mike stood up and walked closed in other to console her

"I know how you feel, I also felt the same way. But you should let go of this memory it will never bring the dead back, crying always will never solve the problem rather it will create more problems considering your health is better than hurting yourself think about this!". He said as he walks out of Elena's room.

A FEW MINUTES LATER

Clara calls for Elena as she slams her door. Elena who was carried away by deep sleep left her door latched, no one could gain access to her room.

" Honey, what's it? I guess you should permit her to rest because she's going through a lot for now". Mike said.

"I don't know why she is still asleep, this is 8 a.m she hasn't done her daily chores". Clara said as she left for the kitchen to get some food prepared.

Elena stood up from her bed when she found out her aunt wasn't at her doorpost, she took a deep breath, wipe her tears off as she preside to the kitchen.

Elena! Elena!! What's the problem?

It's been months now since you came here, you can't continue with this sad face" Clara said.

"Well I guess you are right I will see to that, let me help you with the cooking," Elena said.

They both smile, as they get the food prepared and served, after having their meal uncle mike decided to put a smile on Elena's face as he aspires to take her out shopping.

AT THE BOUTIQUE

"Waw!!! This place is beautiful, have never been to a boutique-like this before." Elena exclaimed!.

"We are here to buy clothes not to give compliments" Mike profusely said with a smile.

..Elena pointed towards a gown.

"Uncle Mike, I love this red gown it will look good on me".

"Oooh!! Why not, I guess red is your favorite color if you love it then take it. Make a choice, and I will sort the bills" He said.

Uncle mike bought different items of clothes and underwear based on Elena's selection, they went out of the boutique suddenly someone yelled at him from a distance.

Mike! Mike!! Mike!!!.....

He looks in the direction as he traces the voice and saw someone trotting towards him.

"Who could this be?". He asked surprisingly.

" I think is someone you may know". Elena replied.

The Interrogations exceeded between Mike and Elena as they await the man's arrival.

Ohh!! Thank God I finally met you" He asked as he gasps heavily.

"Sorry may I know your name"? Mike asked.

"Am Jasper a friend of yours back then in Oxford college, I still have Memories of how Mr.Brownson whips the hell out of you for not doing his assignment and you ran out of the class down to the latrine in other to execute the pain". He explained

They both chuckled as they exchange pleasantries.

"Indeed you will never forget such memories because that day left a marked print on everyone's mind although it was a day I will never forget". He explained

"Oooh!! You never told me you have a grown-up daughter what's her name?" Jasper asked as he smiled looking at her.

"Sorry I didn't introduce her to you at first meet Elena she is my niece" He replied.

"Your niece!!, I thought she is your daughter you both look alike". He grins and exchanged courtesies with Elena.

After many conversations, Mr.Mike took Jasper to a nearby eatery for a lunch they were both happy as they finally met again.

Exchange of contact was made by them as they ate happily while they journey back to their various destinations.

Contract With The Devil: Love In Shackles

Dorine Koestler
4.1

I watched my husband sign the papers that would end our marriage while he was busy texting the woman he actually loved. He didn't even glance at the header. He just scribbled the sharp, jagged signature that had signed death warrants for half of New York, tossed the file onto the passenger seat, and tapped his screen again. "Done," he said, his voice devoid of emotion. That was Dante Moretti. The Underboss. A man who could smell a lie from a mile away but couldn't see that his wife had just handed him an annulment decree disguised beneath a stack of mundane logistics reports. For three years, I scrubbed his blood out of his shirts. I saved his family's alliance when his ex, Sofia, ran off with a civilian. In return, he treated me like furniture. He left me in the rain to save Sofia from a broken nail. He left me alone on my birthday to drink champagne on a yacht with her. He even handed me a glass of whiskey—her favorite drink—forgetting that I despised the taste. I was merely a placeholder. A ghost in my own home. So, I stopped waiting. I burned our wedding portrait in the fireplace, left my platinum ring in the ashes, and boarded a one-way flight to San Francisco. I thought I was finally free. I thought I had escaped the cage. But I underestimated Dante. When he finally opened that file weeks later and realized he had signed away his wife without looking, the Reaper didn't accept defeat. He burned down the world to find me, obsessed with reclaiming the woman he had already thrown away.

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Jessica C. Dolan
4.9

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.
