Some sheds of it had was scattered all over the top of his shoe.Simon tossed his eyes to look at Selena. “Did you just…” he looked down at the broken pieces and laughed disbelievingly. “Did just throw a bottle at me?” He stared at his wife and saw none of the meek woman he had left this morning. The eyes staring back at him were vicious and vibrantly furious.He bent to pick up one of the pieces that still had the label intact on it. “Passion Noir. Do you know how much this cost?”Selena threw her head back and laughed. “I can't believe you're focused more about the cost than the actual problem.”“I didn't realize my wife kept a special stash of cash somewhere.”“It's our freaking wedding anniversary Soon and I went out of my way to make it special!”Simon lowered his hands and ripped the piece of glass.

The Son-in-law's Revenge Signed
Isabel didn't wait for the car to completely stop. She couldn't. The words were still playing over and over in her head. “Ethan signed the divorce papers sweetheart. You're now a free woman.” As soon as her father had said those words, the driver had stopped the car while she asked—rather, demanded what he was talking about and why the divorce papers had her signature on it even when she had no recollection of ever signing the divorce papers. “You don't remember? It was the day we ate together at the restaurant.” Her father had answered before closing the door, leaving her even more consterned.She rushed past the guards and servants welcoming her, not bothering about her belongings still in the boot of the car. A light shower has started, miniature droplets of it getting soaked up by her blazer. She burst through the front door, eyes wide and searching as she scanned the premises. It was empty and her heart did a painful lurch. Next, she ran up the stairs to the bedroom and with

He looked attractive with his hands on his waist and his face switching to serious to slightly less serious as he conversed with whoever was on the other side of the line. Today was sunny and his gelled hair was shiny under the rays of the sun. “Yeah. Tony Ecaudor. Just by name. You know from people I've worked with in the past.” Jenner did her best not to stammer and raise further questions from Ruby. She watched Tony end the phone call and got out his car keys.“Quick!

“You know, you could have just let Ruby drive us to wherever this Thai restaurant is than is having to ride in your car.” Ruby looked outside as she strapped the seatbelt across her chest, silently praying that no one else saw her go into his car. “Thank you but I'd rather not be seen in a Cosmo purple car. Who drives such a colour around nowadays.” Tony put on his seatbelt to and leaned forward to assess the tightness.“Uh excuse me, it's called being unique.”“You're certainly standing out.” Tony teased. “Well sorry if you can't stand a little colour because you're used to the greyness of your world.” She tapped the side of the vehicle lightly with her knuckle for emphasis.“Silver.” Tony corrected as he pulled out of the lot. “It's silver Lolly.”Ruby's eyes jutted together. “Lolly?”“Your car looks like grapefruit flavour so…” Tony explained.Ruby opened her mouth as if to say “the audacity!” “Look, I have varied taste.

Isabel's spirit seemed to drop further into despondency with each step she took down the stairs. Wrapped in a wool robe and her hair in a towel of the same material, her finger traced the silver railing of her stairs as she descended slowly. She's just had the loneliest heartbreaking bath. Despite the essence she had added to her bath water that was meant to help her feel great afterwards, her body still ached. And parts of her she couldn't exactly identity. She was sure if one thing however. That she was numb from head to toe. She's done enough crying to last a year, her tear ducts were probably tired and wouldn't produce any more of the salty liquid even if it was prompted to. Her slow descent finally came to an end and she had eventually reached the end of the stairs. Her eyes roamed the house at an unrushed pace, slowly taking everything in and noting how empty—super empty the house seemed to have become. Could one person really make such an impact? She asked herself, huggin

The childlike giggle high-pitched by excitement travelled far thanks to the wind that came with the push and pull of the seawater against the sand, creamy white foam lining the tip. There were three figures playing on the sand, two wore blue shorts and were shirtless while the third one wore a green one with a tank top on. They all had light blonde hair. “I'm counting now!” The third one yelled, sounding feminine. “One! Two! Three! Stop!” The boys froze. They both found it hard to control their laughter as the girl chose which to go after. The game was simple. She had a maximum of three leaps to make it tonome person. If she does touch whichever she picked in those three leaps, then the person touched will replace her in he middle and do his counting. Between the two boys, one could tell which was older very easily. The one on the right hand of the girl was taller and older-looking than the cute little boy on her left who was about his elbow high. They all resembled each other so i

A visitor
“You have a visitor Will.” The officer informed him..William frowned, wondering who it could be. Has his father developed a remorse of his un-fatherly actions and wanted to right the wrong?Nah. William shook his head.“Who is it?”It's your uncle.” The officer replied over his shoulder. William halted. His father's brothers didn't give a hoot about family, why would they visit him all of a sudden.“Hey! Hurry up. I ain't got all day.” The officer yelled at him. William wasn't led to the usual visiting room. He was led to a more.lrivaye one hat a detective would use to interrogate a prisoner for details instead. “Who the heck could that caring uncle be?” William wondered out loud as the office urged him into a room.The bloody hell!” William yelled as soon as he saw who was seated waiting for him.Ethan and one other man he didn't know.
