Synopsis

You're hiding something too, Dunice," Alex said, his voice low and husky, as he kissed her again, deeper this time. "We're both guilty of secrets and lies." Dunice's eyes flashed with a mix of anger and desire, but she didn't deny it. "We'll talk about it later," she said, her voice barely above a whisper, as she opened the door to the nearby bedroom and pushed Alex onto the bed. She climbed on top of him, her body pinning him down, her eyes blazing with a fierce intensity. _________ After divorcing her contract husband, Dunice Jasper finds herself face-to-face with him again, digging up painful memories from the past. Unsure whether to give him a second chance or use him as he used her, Dunice battles with conflicting emotions as she navigates the complexities of trust, forgiveness, and self-preservation.

Chapter 1Divorce

Dunice had brought out her big box and started packing up her things when she heard a knock on the door.

Knock! knock!!

"Who's there?" She asked, almost shouting.

"It's the driver, ma'am, I just wanted to ask if you were done packing your things," He said.

"No, give me few minutes, come inside," Dunice ordered the driver.

The driver came inside at her order and stood by the door side. She was backing him.

"Is your boss around?" She asked without turning her head to look at him.

"No ma'am, the boss went out on a business trip this morning and asked me to drop you at your destination," The driver replied.

"Oh!" She exclaimed while raising a brow. "Okay then." She added.

"What was she expecting?....Was she expecting Alex to see her off and tell her last goodbye?" She must have thought too highly of him. She scoffed at the thought.

Alexander Lopez was Dunice's ex-husband, they recently got a divorce. And now she's leaving him for good. Shaking those thoughts out of her head, she zipped the bag and turned to face the driver.

"I'm ready, could you please help me with my bag?" she pleaded with him.

The driver quickly came over to carry it for her and they both headed to the parking lot at the mansion. Just as she was about to get in the back seat of the car she heard a voice behind her.

 

"Oh Dunice!"

It was Charrisa Maxwell. She was wearing a black tailored pencil skirt coupled with a crisp white blouse, a pair of classic pumps, and a structured handbag. Her hair was pulled back in a sleek bun, and she completed her look with bold makeup and red lipstick. 

Charrisa has been crazy over Alexander for a very long time. She has an unhealthy obsession with him and she has been making life difficult for poor Dunice. 

Charrisa covered her mouth with both hands as if something terrible had happened. 

"I'm so sorry about your divorce," Charrisa said while throwing a fake apologetic look at Dunice. Dunice simply rolled her eyes at Charrisa's sarcasm. Seeing she got no reply from Dunice, she felt little and she decided to provoke Dunice more....

"I don't even know why I'm sympathizing with you because Alex is nowhere in your class, I wonder why he signed a contract marriage with a pauper like you," She looked at Dunice with a disgusted look as she said this. 

"You only ruined his image all this while you are so classless you f**cking bi-"

"Slap!"

Dunice slapped Charrisa hard on her face.

The driver who was already in the car eyes widened when he saw what just happened. He couldn't believe Dunice could slap Charrisa. All this while Dunice has endured the insults and tantrums Charissa threw at her. Sometimes he felt like tying Charissa up and beating the hell out of her on the behalf of his boss. He was happy she managed to stand up for herself this time around.

Charrisa couldn't believe what just happened, she looked around to see if no one witnessed the incident.

"How dare you slap me you whor-"

Dunice caught Charissa's hand that was coming her way and twisted it.

"What? You are shocked ugh?" Dunice asked as she smirked at Charrisa.

"This my last day here and I'm leaving for good," Dunice stressed the "good" in her sentence.

"You would do well not to spit trash at me or else I would beat you here and now and nobody would save you from me." Dunice's hands was still twisting Charrisa's arm as she said this.

"Ah! Stop! Stop!!" Charissa winced in pain and it was then Dunice let go of her hand and got into the car.

On getting into the car she placed her hands on her chest to calm her breathing. She couldn't believe what she said and did earlier.

"I must have reached my limit earlier," Dunice muttered to herself.

"Where is your destination ma'am?" the driver asked.

"My Grandmother's place,I Believe you know the location already," she asked while cocking her head to the side.

"Yes I do ma'am," he replied and they took off.

*****

Amber was just watering the flowers outside of her home when a black SUV drove into her small building. She watched a pair of black heels step down from the car.

"Dunice!" Amber exclaimed.

Amber is Dunice's Grandmother she has been the one taking care of Dunice and her brother when her parents died in an accident when Dunice was just nine.

"Oh my Goodness! I have missed you so much," Amber said happily.

Her grandmother didn't even let her come down from the car completely before she ran over and pulled Dunice into her embrace. Dunice hugged her back and she somehow felt like crying. She has missed home so badly.

"Where's Damien?" she asked looking around to see if she would catch a sight of him.

"Oh dear! Damien went to get some groceries," Amber said to her granddaughter.

During the exchange of pleasantries, the driver had already brought out her things and moved them inside the house.

"I'm done moving everything in ma'am, I shall be returning to the mansion," The driver said.

"Goodbye, take care" Dunice said as she waved her hands to bid the driver farewell.

Just as Dunice and her Grandmother were about to step into the house they heard Damien's call.

"Big sis!" Damien exclaimed.

Damien jumped on Dunice, spilling part of the groceries he went to get at the store

"How have you been?....Are you good?...Have you been sleeping well?.... Did you eat well?" Damien bombarded her with all these questions at once.

"Damien!" Amber called looking slightly annoyed. One question at a time Amber cautioned.

"Oh, I'm sorry sis, let's all go inside,"he said.

When they all got in Damien caught sight of Dunice's bags and his eyebrows furrowed in confusion. 

"Why are all your belongings here Dunice, aren't you married?" Damien asked genuinely curious.

Hearing this question, Dunice's expression turned sour.

Excerpt: She had forgotten that the man was intimidating and directly challenged him. Rather than speaking, Demetri rose from his seat and approached her deliberately. Although it was a mere few steps, time seemed to stretch for Nora. When he was almost within touching distance, his hand gently landed on her knee, moving it sideways. His touch moved with a hint of a caress, and he stepped between her open legs. Nora sat there in frozen silence, her eyes wide like a deer caught in headlights. Catching her chin between his fingers, he tilted her face upwards and spoke unhurriedly," You are my wife." She nodded her head slowly in affirmation while his thumb slowly traced her lip. "I have given you time to gather your emotions." Another nod. Nora's nervousness made her lick her lips, acutely aware of his intense gaze fixed upon them. "Your reason for the marriage was to secure your inheritance and get away from under your mother's thumb." "Yes..." Nora whispered in confusion. Her confusion was not about his statement but about the bewildering sensations coursing through her. What was happening with her? "It's time for you to fulfil your end of the contract, yes?" He continued. "Yes," Nora whispered breathlessly. Why was she breathless? Had the oxygen level in the house dropped? Was the air suddenly thinning?

All those tantalizing, heart-pounding kisses she had read about in novels were about to possibly become her reality. But the anticipated kiss didn't happen. Instead, he paused near her and commanded, "Kiss me."

One Wild Night

Lucinda Perry, a social recluse and a workaholic, makes a pledge to herself to go all wild on her twenty-fifth birthday and even score a one night stand if she gets her long deserved promotion at work. Few days to her twenty-fifth birthday, she gets promoted to not just a higher position but to the head office in a different city. Having to spend her birthday night in a new city, she goes to the club where she meets a very handsome stranger, Thomas Hank, who offers to be her one night stand after catching a glimpse of her dare-to-do list, which included having a one night stand. Thomas Hank, after having been used by several ladies in the past, is bent on getting the lady of his dreams who would love him for himself and not his wealth. So when he meets the cute and naive Lucinda Perry at the club, he decides to keep his true identity from her and find out if she was worth keeping. ***Excerpt*** What is more entertaining than a crazy side character? Say hello to Sonia and Bryan. Sonia's heart stopped beating for a second, and then different thoughts started flying right through her head at that same time. Bryan Hank? Her celebrity crush was kneeling right in front of her and asking her to be his wife? Was he mistaking her for someone? Was it possible this was a skit, or maybe this was like one of those celebrity pranks, and there were cameras around, waiting to capture her make a fool of herself? Or perhaps she was dreaming? Sonia wondered as she looked around them, but all she saw were curious onlookers. "Please! Be my wife and make me the happiest man on Earth," He said in a very loud voice that caught the attention of everyone. Her editor who she had been waiting on for over an hour because he was trying to sign a deal with a movie producer who was interested in one of her stories, showed up at that moment, "Sonia, you know Bryan Hank?" Her editor asked in genuine surprise as he watched the scene before him. It seemed like an hour had passed since Bryan went on his knees, but it had only been a minute. Bryan knew no lady would be crazy enough to accept such a crazy proposal, and even if any were, paying her off and calling off the whole thing would be easy since all he wanted was the scandal that could come from this. The headlines were either going to be about his rejected Marriage proposal or his supposed engagement, which would be enough to let Sophia off the hook. "Yes!" Sonia said as she bobbed her head excitedly and extended her finger for him to wear her the ring. "Yes?" Bryan asked in confusion when he heard her response. "Yes! I will be your wife and make you the happiest man in the world!" Sonia said with a giggle and wiggled her fingers until Bryan slid the ring down her finger. Surprisingly the ring was her exact size, and it sat on her finger like it was made just for her. The sound of applause erupted all around them as Sonia stood up with a big smile on her face and embraced Bryan before kissing him right on the lips. Bryan was slightly taken aback by her boldness but quickly recovered since this was his game, and he had to play along. He was the one who had approached her first, after all. So when she tried to break the kiss, he held her chin and slowly nibbled on her lower lip before parting her lips with his tongue and sucked on it in a teasing manner, eliciting a moan from Sonia. Sonia felt light-headed. This was too good to be true. It just had to be a dream. How else could she explain that one moment she was seated at the lobby of a hotel waiting for her editor, and the next she was engaged to her celebrity crush and was kissing him right here in the open?
