Pretend Husband Chapter 1 001

I can't believe its 1st November already, just few days to December, and then this year is over , Just like that!! Linda thought as she walked down the market lane, she looked at her left side and saw a couple nudging their young one into the car, and she signed and muttered, ' and I'm still single, what am I going to tell my parents this Christmas again? I made them believe I will be coming home with my husband, I don't even have a boyfrie..

Hey watch it !!!

Opps, am so sorry please, I wasn't looking " Linda apologized to the young man she stumbled on

Its alright, its the end of the year and alot of people have a lot on their minds, the young man replied and smiled.

Linda looked up at him and was wowed to see the colour of his eyes, deep sea blueish.

Its not the kind of eye colour you see in Africa, talk more of in Nigeria

Oh yeah, I know, its hereditary actually, my mom is from the States

Linda blushed in embarrassment, she couldn't believe she actually said that out loud,

My name is Chris by the way, the guy said extending his hand for a handshake

Sorry, but I don't shake strangers, but my name is Linda

Ohh, the man said with a little air of disappointment but brightened up immediately and added' you have a beautiful name, sorry but do you mind if I get your number?

I would really like us to meet again and talk

About what exactly? Linda asked sharply

Woow, calm down OK? Let's just get to know each other, that's all, maybe you could actually tell me what you were thinking of that made you bump into me a while ago

Linda who wasn't looking convinced at all began to shake her head in the negative, but the guy was quick to say' Don't worry, you don't have to give me your number if you don't want to, here is my card, He said bringing out a card from his pocket and tucking it in into Linda's palm, please call me anytime you feel like, He smiled, then started walking away but turned and said, I will be waiting for your call Linda.

Linda felt chills hearing him call her name, it sounded sooo, she paused thinking of a word,` sexy? She finally turned to look at the man and was mesmerized to see that he had wonderful features even though she was looking at him from the backside

He had nice long legs that looks athletic, he was wearing tight jeans so she could very well see his thigh muscle through his jeans anytime he took a step, his backside looks so firm, touchable and hard

If my hands gets in contact with it, it' She paused and screamed, Aaaaargh, what's wrong with me? I can't believe am daydreaming about a guy I just met, a total stranger, Gosh I'm so stupid.

When Linda got home that day, after making food with the stuffs she bought from the market, she sat down to eat but felt something plastic in her buttocks, she stood up and checked her back pocket only to see the card the guy Chris gave to her, the card says, " Mr Christian Nduka, CEO of Apple Beauty

Apple beauty? That kind of rings a bell, she said and picked her phone to google it

Oh my gosh!!!, Linda said as the ball of garri which she had already moulded to swallow fell off her hand back into the plate.

So a apparently, Apple Beauty is a multi million company that deals with making of beauty cosmetics for both men and women, and it says in google that the founder is one Mrs Clarissa Magnus, could that be his mom? Linda wondered " but how come the difference in surname? Maybe his parents never got married to each other?

Or maybe they divorced?

Mehn this guy is loaded, gosh

I can't Believe I acted so stupid in front of him, ` I don't shake strangers? She said out loud and scoffed' that would be the most stupidest thing he must have ever heard, and I even refused to give him my number, this girl you must be very stupid and unserious, to think that you're actually in need of a husband ASAP and you still have the mouth to say you can't give a guy(a potential husband) your number

She said, hissed and signed, should I give him a call or what now?

I think maybe I should wait for some days, I don't want him to think am desperate or something (although I actually am).

SHANA GRAY

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

Sexy Behind The Mask

Sexy Behind The Mask

Ellie Wynters

She hides behind ugly suits and fake names. He's done trusting women. When they meet in a masked sex club, neither realizes they've been fighting each other across boardroom tables for eighteen months. At Taylor Industries, she's Joy Smith-the frumpy CFO who drowns her curves in shapeless polyester and wearing a wig. At home, she's the forgotten wife of a cheating lawyer who hasn't touched her in so long she's starting to wonder if she's broken. When she finds hot pink lace panties stuffed in her couch cushions...definitely not hers, it's not heartbreak she feels. It's freedom. Grayson Taylor doesn't do relationships anymore. Not after walking in on his actress fiancée with another woman. Now he channels everything into hostile takeovers and board meetings, especially the ones where his overcautious CFO fights him on every goddamn acquisition. Joy Smith is brilliant, infuriating, and funny when he pushes all her buttons. But Honey is tired of being invisible. Tired of never having felt real pleasure. So, when her best friend gives her the details of The Velvet Room-Manhattan's most exclusive masked club-she promises herself just one night. One night to find out if her husband's right, if she really is frigid, or if she's just never been touched by the right hands. She doesn't expect the masked stranger who claims her the second she walks in. Doesn't expect the chemistry that ignites between them, the way he makes her body sing, or the orgasms that leave her shaking. Doesn't expect him to hand her an email address with one command: "Only me. No one else touches you."

The Discarded Heiress: Marrying My Lethal Husband

The Discarded Heiress: Marrying My Lethal Husband

Xiao Wang

The rain in Detroit was slick with grime when my family finally came to fetch me. They didn't want a reunion; they wanted a sacrificial lamb to marry into the Kaufman empire to save their failing business. I thought I was just being sold off, but the limo ride ended under a dark overpass where six hired thugs were waiting with chains. My own sister had ordered them to "break my spirit" so I’d be a shaking, pathetic mess by the time I reached the altar. They called me "Detroit trash" and sprayed air freshener when I sat on their leather seats. My stepmother wanted a video of me begging for my life, and my father was ready to trade me like a used car to a man everyone called a "vegetable." They expected a submissive country girl, unaware that I was a high-level "cleaner" who could snap a radius bone before they could even scream. When I finally reached the Kaufman estate, I found my fiancé, Barron, slumped in a wheelchair, drooling and silent. But as soon as the doors closed, the "invalid" grabbed my wrist with a grip of iron and whispered a command that changed everything. I didn't understand why my own blood was so desperate to see me destroyed. What had I ever done to deserve a hit squad and a forced marriage to a man they thought was a corpse? But Barron isn't a vegetable, and I'm not a victim. We just touched down at the Moon family gala in a matte-black helicopter, and as the doors slide open, the "broken" bride is about to show them exactly what happens when you throw away the wrong daughter. "If we're going to crash a party," Barron whispered, his eyes burning with lethal clarity, "we should make an entrance."
