HELENA
Chapter 5
Once Angela helped Helena with the luggage in
Helena thanked her as she stare at the big bed
room, Sonya went and jumped on the bed
Helena chuckled.
"How old are you Sonya ? She asked .
"5, years, I know am still young but am very
smart " she replied.
Helena chuckled and reached for her airport
bag bringing out her suit case as she placed
her cloths on the bed one after the other .
"Your indeed a smart girl , so where's your
mother ? She asked .
Sonya sat on the bed and stare at Helena
quietly, Helena noticed her mood changed so
she went closer to her .
"Sonya is everything alright? She asked .
"Yes , but my mom is no more " she said .
Helena gasped, her mom was dead? That's
really bad news .
"Oh baby , am so sorry , that's really a bad
news , so it's only your dad you have now ?
She asked
"No, I don't also have a dad " she replied,
Helena was confused then why did she call
Alexander her dad then?

"You don't have a dad, then who is Alex to you
and why do you call him dad ? She asked stood
up and started hanging her cloths in the closet.
Sonya chuckled.
"Oh, Alexander is my uncle , but I do call him
dad, because his a twin brother to my daddy ,
identical" she replied.





Helena looked at her surprised, Jake didn't tell
her Alexander was a twin.
"Oh I see , so your dad and Alex are identical ,
so where is he now ? She asked bringing out
her novels .
"My dad is also no more " she replied sadly ,
Helena was more than shock now , a small girl
like her doesn't have a mother and father this
is horrible.
"Baby , that's really bad news" Helena hugged
her and Sonya chuckled.
"Yeah I know, but I've gotten over it since, I
was just a baby when they died, uncle Alex said
I was 2 months then , but since I really didn't
know them it didn't affect me that much ,
atleast I grew up knowing uncle Alex as my
daddy ,but then I was later told he wasn't, you
know if you see uncle Alex and my dad , you
wouldn't know for sure who is who " she said
and giggled .
Helena felt tears in her eyes, as she chuckled,
she wiped it with her thumb and touched her
cheek., It's so bad that she wasn't able to know
her parents before their deaths , they are just
the same because she's an orphan too.
"You don't feel pain at all, no heart throb no
sadness nothing at all? Helena asked touching
Sonya's long brown hair .
"No ms Helena, not at all, Everything
happened for a reason, tell me what about you
, your family? Sonya asked .
"You see Sonya, am just like you , I have no
mother and father , I have an elder brother
whom is your Alex friend , so his like a father
to me " Helena replied trying not to cry .




How she wished she's like this little strong girl,
but each time she thinks about her family's
death it makes her sad , the tears rolled down
and Sonya reached to clean it .
"Stop crying Helena , sorry okay,big girls don't
cry"Sonya said and Helena laughed .
"So your a big girl ?Helena asked Sonya
nodded , she reached and stroke Helena's
cheek gently
" I've been looking for a bestfriend, so would
you be my bestfriend? Sonya asked giving her
little hand for a hand shake.
Helena chuckled.
"Of course" she said and shook her they both
hugged , she already love the little girl.
"So Sonya , why don't you help your bestfriend
arrange her stuff's ? Helena said.
"Of course I will " she said and they both
smiled at each other .
Later they sat on the dinning having lunch as
Veronica asked Helena questions upon
questions she enjoyed being with the family
they are nice .
"So you were in Spain ? Vera asked Helena
nodded.
"Grandma , you know we talked about going to
Spain for vacation some time , and Helena
here could go with us" Sonya said taking
Helena's hand.

They smiled at her, and with a surprise
expression on their faces to how Sonya
suddenly grew closer to Helena in just a day
but Helena didn't like the idea at all, what if
something goes wrong she can't go back there
yet.
"Yes mother I was thinking it's gonna be good
if Helena goes with us " Nora said .
"Well it's good then , we will all go for the
picnic" Vera answered
"Yeahhhh" Sonya said cheerfully as they
chuckled,
"Ummm I really don't wanna go back to Spain
yet " Helena said as they looked at her ,Sonya
frowned.
"But why Helena , it will be fun " Sonya said .
Helena touched her hair.
"I know baby but I really don't go out for
vacations like that , you should spend time
with your family " Helena said just as Sonya
was about to answer her they heard the car
horn
"Alex is back " Vera said and Helena's heart
started beating even if she didn't know him she
didn't know why her heart was beating this fast
.
Once the front door opened Alexander walked
in talking on the phone , Helena's back was
still turned to him Sonya ran towards him.
"Daddy , daddy " she ran and Alex picked her
up kissing her lips, then her cheek .
"How is my baby doing? He asked .
"Fine dad " she kissed his cheek as she
wrapped her little hands around his neck, Vera
and the rest had stood up already to welcome
him.





"Dad we have a visitor, the one you talked
about she's so beautiful," sonya said and that
moment Helena eyes landed on Alexander
shock held her to her spot as she stare at him
with mouth agap,as Alex walked with Sonya in
his hand towards the living room.
Alex still smiling at Sonya didn't notice Helena
till Sonya shouted .
"That's her dad , isn't she beautiful? Sonya
asked pointing.
Alexander raised his head and his eyes caught
the lady who ruined his business suit and
almost made him loss billions, they stare at
each other Alex held surprise face but then
smirked and Helena frowned in confusion to
his sudden change of mood .
As Vera Nora and Sonya wondered why the
look .

Chuma The Terror Chapter 1

  


CHUMA THE TERROR BY PHILIP BEGHO

Chapter 1

Join my facebook group for more stories.


  The village did not know what to do with Chuma. Ever since he was born he was a terror. When he and his twin brother Biayi were newborn babies, Chuma decided he wanted to learn kick-boxing. And who better to use for practice than Biayi?

    He would kick Biayi until Biayi's body was crawling with welts. And Biayi, who was the direct opposite in character, unfortunately didn't seem to know how to cry to let people know what was happening.

    But this was not the only stunt Chuma pulled as a newborn child. He had another trick called 'Crying All Night' which he carried out at the top of his voice so that the entire village couldn't get a wink of sleep.

    His mom discovered that gagging him helped. But this didn't work after he grew his first teeth. He would rip the wad of cloth and attempt to swallow it and of course, would choke and send his mom into fits.




      By the time he was five(5), he had perfected all kinds of cruel jokes. His favorite was catching cockroaches and tossing them into the cooking pots of women.

      He would laugh and ask to be made a Chief-for giving the women of the village free crayfish.

     By twelve(12), he was the unchallenged village bully. His huge size and love for exploring people's bodies with knives and broken bottles gave him free rein of the village.

      Nobody knew what to do with that terror that rampaged through the length and breadth of the little, but no longer sleepy village.


    One day soon after thirteenth(13) birthday,  Chuma bullied Biayi into agreeing to go snail-hunting with him.
 "These sacks aren't large enough!" Chuma growled, tearing the sacks Biayi had found for their errand, and thrusting them disdainfully away.

   He glared at his mom who was standing by.
  "Mother, go and find larger sacks before I get angry!"

    His mom went and found gargantuan sacks and returned with lunch boxes too.

  "Roasted cocoyam and palm oil to refresh you when you are hungry," she said, offering a box to each of her sons.

   Biayi received his food box appreciatively. 
   "Thanks Mother," he said, "It's very thoughtful of you."

   "Mother, is mine extra-large?" Chuma snorted, snapping his box open to look. "What is this?" he yelled when he saw the contents.
  "How do you expect this measly thing for fill me?"

   "I gave you twice what I gave Biayi," his mom replied.



Follow on facebook



  "And so?" He shoved the box back  into her hands. "If you don't go and put in some more, you will see! I want what he has times three- you hear? TIMES THREE!"

  It was only after his mother gave Chuma three times what Biayi had that Chuma piped down and set out.


   The path to the river bank was well-trodden and Chuma and Biayi could walk abreast. And so they did. But Chuma didn't seem satisfied. "Come on, you lazy oaf!" he raged at Biayi. "Come on!"

   "Why are you harassing me?" Biayi protested. "I'm walking as fast as you."
"No, you're not!"
"Yes, I am!"
"You're not!"
"I am. Can't you see we're abreast?"
"I am walking slowly because of you," Chuma growled. "I don't want to leave you behind, you weakling!"

   He suddenly halted in his tracks and grabbed Biayi's arm to hold him back. "Biayi, w-wh-what is that?" He pointed to a figure up ahead along the path.

   Biayi squinted. "It looks like a person- a person crouching. Let's go on- we'll know for sure soon enough." 

 Chuma shook his head and shoved his twin brother forward. "You go."

  Biayi moseyed up and saw that it was as he thought. A man was crouching partly in the bushes and partly at the edge of the path.

  An old man- shrivelled and small.

 "Greetings, Father!" Biayi called.

 "My son," the man replied in a hoarse voice, "I'm hungry. Have you any food?"


  Biayi opened his food box. "I have some cocoyam, Father, which I'll be glad to share with you."

  The man took some of the cocoyam offered. But before he could dip them into the palm oil Biayi was opening out to him, they were snatched!

  Snatched by Chuma!

Married To The Devil's Son S1C21



MARRIED TO THE DEVIL'S SON VOULUME 1 - By Author Jasmine Joseph. 

     - C1S21

Join my facebook group to read more stories

I panicked. How could I have fallen asleep when Lucian was ill? I quickly placed my hand on Lucian forehead who was still sleeping. No fever. What had made him so ill last night? He seemed fine just before we kissed.

The kiss.


ONGOING STORIES:


His hand on my back, around my waist, in my hair pressing body to his, the heat, the tingling sensation. I brought my hand up to my lips. His lips had been so soft yet so firm, moving against mine till I was breathless. He tasted like spices; hot burning your tongue, yet you came back for more. More... Yes, I wanted more.

I had been willing to give myself to him last night but slowly his kiss had become sloppy, his arms trembled before his whole body shook. Fear showed in his beautiful eyes, struggle on his face and sweat beads on his forehead. I had seen him like that once before, when we were in the woods, when our lips had touched. Something told me it had to do with the kiss, but why?


Follow on Facebook


Someone knocked on the door. Who could it be this early in the morning? Lucian swung his legs down from the bed startling me and stalked to the door as if hadn't been sleeping just now. Sometimes he was really strange. He opened the door and then I only heard whispering sounds before he closed it.

"I need to go" he said picking up his jacket from the bed and putting it on.

"Where?" I asked, worried.




"I will be back," he said as he left, ignoring my question. What happened that made him so stressed? Was it the bloodthirsty King or did his father die? Unable to suppress my worry, I quickly got dressed and went looking for him.

It was a lovely day. The sky crystal blue, the sun casting its golden rays on the beautiful garden.

Lucian's men sat in the garden eating their breakfast at a large table. They seemed to have fun, chatting and laughing loudly.

"Good morning, Your Highness," they greeted, standing up and bowing in unison when they took notice of me.

"Good morning." I smiled, my eyes traveling along the table looking for Lincoln. He was not there.

"Are you looking for someone my lady?" a guard asked.

"Where is Lucian?"

"His Highness went to meet the king," he said. So it was the bloodthirsty king. What did he want?

"May I sit with you?" I asked. They looked at each other with shock and confusion before they started moving around quickly, trying to organize a place for me to sit.

"Of course," a guard said, pulling a chair out for me to sit on. Then, they just sat there, like disciplined children waiting for their teacher to give them a lecture. I could see that I was making them uncomfortable but I needed some information that only they could give. I decided to go easy on them first.

"Why don't you guys tell me your names?" I suggested. I only recognized Oliver and Ky the one that imitated me slapping Lucian.

They glanced at each other, exchanging wide-eyed gazes before they began to present themselves. The soldier to my left side stood up and introduced himself first.

"My name is Callum Atkinson, My Lady." He bowed before he sat down again and the rest went on introducing themselves: Chad, Declan, Anum, Claus, Danilo and I forgot the rest because they were too many. It didn't matter because I wasn't here to know their names but to know more about Lucian, to know the truth.

"My lady, why would you want to know our names? We are nothing but your servants," one of them asked. I think it was Anum. Lydia and Ylva were my servants as well but they were the only people who truly cared about me and I about them.


"You are more than just a servant. You are a human being, a son of someone, a brother, a friend. If you are married, a husband, and if you have children, a father. Stop saying that you are just servants because I am only a princess." A princess who had been locked inside her home by her own parents who never treated her like their child.



FOR TEENS AND ADULTS: MOOD BOOST



They never played with her, never hugged her, never asked about her opinions or feelings. They treated her like a doll who always had to look perfect and act perfect or 'ladylike' until they find someone they could sell her to. But even then, she was not free. She would remain the doll she was without feelings and without opinions. Her husband would do as he pleased and she wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

If Lucian decided to take Klara as his wife, what would I do? What could I do? The guards stared at me, confused by what I said.

"I mean, I am a princess now but I might be nothing tomorrow," I explained even though that was not what I meant. Still, it was the truth. Once Lucian's father dies, we would either get killed or live to hide forever, because the chance of Lucian becoming the next king is almost impossible. His brothers were more powerful now because they had many allies. Lucian's only ally was this bloodthírsty king whom I didn't entirely trust. Why would he fight in a war he would most likely loose?

My thoughts went back to what Rasmus had said about Lucian last night. I didn't want to believe him but a part of me was suspicious. That's why I was sitting here with his men. I tried to find ways to ask about Lucian without sounding suspicious but gave up and asked them directly instead.

"Is it true that Lucian killed hundreds of men on his own during a war?"

Everyone looked up from their plate and seemed to consider what to say before opening their mouths.

"Yes. My Lady. It's war. You either kill or get killed," Callum said finally. So it was true? He had participated in many wars, killed many on his own yet he had no scars on his body, not even a tiny one. Something about Lucian wasn't right and I intended to find out what it was.
  

Have a lovely day!

"Pervert" she cursed and grabbed her dress
walked into the bathroom and slammed the
door to freshing up and leave the damn hotel .
Helena finally arrived at new York , she smiled
so happily, she needed to call her brother but
she thought against It, it's best she lounge into
a hotel and settle down first , she quickly got a
cab and entered.
"Ms , which of the hotels do you want? The
cab man asked .
"Well I don't know anywhere here, but you can
take me to any best hotel around here " she
said smiling at the cab man.
He smiled back.
"Alright madam I will take u to the most
expensive hotel and finnest you will love it,
their accommodation there is nice " he said

"Am sure your from a rich home right ? He
asked .
Helena smiled .
"Yes" she replied

They drove for a while and her eyes came
across a restaurant, she was hungry what will a
little bite do ?
"Please , could you pull over I need to eat
something am so Hungry and exhausted, if you
don't mind I'd pay you double " she said .
"No problem ms, I will wait" he said and
parked the car along MacDonald restaurant
and she got out .
She took her hand bag and walked in, sat down
and a waiter met with her .
"Am Tora, and I'd be your waiter what would
you love to have mam " she asked smiling.
" French fries and a bottle of maltina " she
said smiling Tora smiled back .
"Alright ms" she said and left .
Soon the food was brought and she began
digging in looking at the time, she needed to
go now, she couldn't waste the cab man time ,
she called the waiter paid her bills , she stood
up about to go then thought why not get a
coffee for the cab man, and his a nice man, so
she went to the counter and ask them for
coffee .
She collected it paid the bill and smiled at
them , as she held the cup heading towards
the door her phone started ringing she tries to
use one hand to open her bag .
Main while Alexander was Making a phone call
entering the restaurant, and looking at his
wrist watch. 




They bumped into each other and all her
coffee spilled on xanders suit.
"What the hell " he cursed, Helena seeing what
has happened quickly reached for her
handkerchief and started wiping it but it was
getting spread more .
"Oh my god am so sorry " she said Alexander
was so angry .
"Get your hands of me " he Barked at her
while the people in the restaurant started
seeing the commotion, Helena was shocked at
his outburst.
"Were you blind walking or something? He
yelled .
"Look at what you did to my suit , do u know
how much it cursed" he shouted .
Helena was already fade up with his ranting
after all it was his fault .





"Hello mr man , don't you dare yell at me like
that , you were the one who bumped into me
so why yelling at me for a damn suit ? She
yelled back .
Alexander was taking aback , no one dares talk
to him like that and this woman was , does she
know who he is how dare her he grabbed her
by the shoulder.
"Don't you dare raise your voice at me lady I
could make you regret ever doing this " he said
Helena looked at his eyes and found them
beautiful but the eye's has some glint of evil in
it too, once he touched her, her body shook
from the shiver that ran down her spin the
electric touch of his hands and the deem of his
blue eyes penetrating hers, she quickly broke
free.
"Maybe next time you should use your eyes,
and look where your going Mr arrogant jerk "
she spat turned on her hills and walked away .
Alexander stare at her in shock when he saw
her got into a taxi and drove off, he stood on
his spot still shocked.




No woman dare talk to him like that , they
know who he is, and what he can do but this
lady wasn't shaking at all, who the hell is she ,
looking down at the mess she's done to his suit
he dialed Marco his chief security guards
number.
"Marco I need a new attire in my hotel suit
this minute" he Barked angrily into the phone
and hanged up without Marco answering.
He turned back got into his car and drove off,
he has to change before he does the meeting
all thanks to that annoying lady .

HELENA by Midnight Stories

Chapter 2

Helena has gotten all her stuff ready to take 
her flight to new York city , she sat on her bed
and kept thinking,the only thing she wants now
is to run as fast as she could to a place she will
never be found , now she's waiting for Jake but
his taking long.
Her thought was shorthanded when the door
open and Jake walked in.
"Am really sorry Helen, I was just making sure
to set my car " he said going to get her airport
bag, she got up from the bed and picked her
handbag.




"It's okay " she said .
"Are this all your stuff? He asked.
"Yeah " she replied.
"Alright then, let's get out of here " he said
and pulled her bag out as Helena looked at her
bedroom one last time and closed the door
behind, they got out and Jake put her airport
bag into the booth and Helena looked at their
house one last time before getting into the car
.
She was really going to miss her home, but it
was for the best, Jake pulled the car on the
highway as they head to the airport.she was
greatful that she had a brother who she can
relay on at her time of trouble, she loves him
so much and he was the father she had now.
They arrived at the airport and Jake pulled her
bag from the booth as they both walked in,
different country people were passing and it
was really not too crowded, Jake and her went
to the soothing of bags and once her bag was
soothed they left to get her ticket, they later
sat down along the other passenger waiting for
the airplane time to be announced.
"Would you like something to drink ? Jake
asked.
"Yeah, something cold" she replied.
He nodded got up and left to get the drink for
her .

Helena sat silently as she watched different
people pass them , some with kids and
husband's, and they were so happy, some day
she would also want a happy family like
this,but with the person she loved , she was
going to miss her grandmother alot , if her dad
and mom was alive , she wouldn't be forced
into this , thinking about them made a tears
slide from her eyes but she quickly cleaned it,
this was the best thing to do, she can't tie her
life down to a man she doesn't love in
Marriage for the rest of her life .
She wonders how Tomorrow will be when Leo
will be disappointed after all the arrangements
his made so far, well screw him, he will have
to marry someone else.
Jake returned with two drinks and sat back
beside her handing her the drink she smiled
warmly and collected it.
"Thank you " she says .
"It's a lemon juice, hope you like it ? He asked
.
"Yap" she replied taking a sip.
Jake stare at his sister , she was really an
epitome of beauty, if he wasn't her brother he
would had married her along time ago , he
smiled at his thought.
"Helena " he called .
"Hmm" she answered.
"You know, if you weren't my sister , I would
had married you along time ago " he said
smiling at her .
Helena raised a surprise eyebrow at him , a
smile on the side of her lips.
"Did you really just sat that ? She asked .
"Yes , I did " he said and chuckled, she
chuckled too.
"I know your joking stop day dreaming of
marrying your sister " she says taking a sip
from her drink.
"Common Helena, it's just an irony , but of
course I really mean it , if only you weren't my
sister " he said touching her nose and kissing
her at her cheek.
She kissed him back on the cheek , her brother
too was a very handsome man, and she
wouldn't had had trouble marrying him if he
wasn't her brother , the thought made her feel
crazy as she blushed .
"Your so beautiful Helena , that's why Leo is so
blind and doing everything in his power to
marry you " Jake said suddenly getting angry .
"Common Jake, we shouldn't be bothered
about that anymore, and besides your getting
me away already" she said feeling sad .





"Helena I will do anything for you , and I mean
anything, once you get to new York, lounge in
a hotel okay , I've spoken to Alexander already
and a car will pick you the following day , and
if they ask you what happened, you could tell
them but I doubt if they will ask , I've already
explained things to Xander but I didn't really
tell him the main reason" Jake said and she
nodded.
The plane was announced to take off and
passengers Started getting in.they both stood
up and they walk towards the others , since
the others were going in, she collected her
airport bag from him and face him .
"Jake" she called softly as tears fell from her
eyes .
"Hay common , don't cry okay , you will be
fine " he assured her wiping her tears with his
thumb.
"I will miss you so much " she said .
"I will miss you too ...don't worry, I will
always call you , and they are good people,
you will like them " he said , they both hugged
and Jake try to be a man not to cry , but it was
hard sending her off, only if there's another
way , but she needed to go .
"I love you so much jake" she cried on his
shoulders.
"I love you more Helena " he said kissing her
hair
The announcement was made again and they
pulled apart.
"Common go on" he told her .
Helena turned and walked into the plane , Jake
stood there looking at her as she sat close to
the window and waved at him , he smiled and
waved back , his tears trying to pull out he
watched as Helena cried in the plane , he had
the urge to go pull her out and tell her not to
go , she had never been away from him
before, seeing her go was had for him, and the
tears finally dropped when he saw the plane
running till it began going high and high till it
was gone.
"I love you Helena , always" he whispered and
turned back to were they sat before, her drink
was on the chair there , he sat down and
picked it up, he already missed her, but it was
the best thing to do, with that he left the
airport.
Once Jake arrived home , he sat at the bar and
drink some whiskey, his grandmother Mary
walked down the stairs and saw him she smiled
and went towards him.
"Son" she called , Jake turned to her .
"Granny "he smiled .
"Why are you sitting down all by yourself, why
isn't Helena with you ? She asked .
"Oh nothing mother , I just choose to be left
alone " Jake replied.
"The wedding gown is really nice, Leo really
spent a whole lots of money, am sure she must
have seen it since it's already delivered" she
said smiling Jake smiled back.
"By the way , she should come and stay with
you , don't seat alone " she said .
Jake didn't know what to say as he try to find
some words in his mind.
"Umm, she would be in her room " he
answered.
"Okay then, I will just go and call her " she
said trying to go but Jake quickly stopped her.
"No mother you should check her Tomorrow,
am sure she's asleep already and her wedding
is tomorrow" Jake said .
Mary looked at the time and it was 10.
"Oh, that should be true, she needs to have a
good rest for tomorrow's invent , and you too,
you should sleep soon " she told him patting
his back .
"Yes granny , I will go now " he said .
"Okay son goodnight" she said and he told her
goodnight too as he watched her gently and
slowly walked away.
He knew he had to lie to her, he thought about

HELENA by Midnight Stories

Chapter 1

Even if life was a mess for her, Helena
Montana knew she had nothing to do to stop
the bad egg lead before her eyes as she walked
down the glass stairs , her grandmother Mary
Montana and brother Jake Montana stood at
the living room center as many gifts were all
over the place, moving closer to them they
smiled at her and she hugged them after
greeting them.
"Mother why all this gift ? Helena asked
looking at the many gifts laid before her eyes .
"Oh my child , they are your wedding gifts,
you know Dion Leo wants the marriage as soon
as possible" Mary said happily.




Helena became sad, but she just put a smile
on her face to hide her hurtful eyes, she
watched as Mary gave her a wedding cup.
"Take a look at this dear " Mary handed it to
her it was a white little mug,she stared at it
with a scorn on her face, jake knew his sister
so well, he knew she wasn't happy about the
marriage.
"Isn't it beautiful dear? Mary asked smiling
cheerfully.
"Well mother what's a mug doing in a wedding
gift ? Helena asked .




"Common Helena , it's from your soon to be
husband, he has put it into your gifts so you
could have drinks with it, a special tea mug
for you " she said touching her cheek .
"Don't you like it Helena? Jake asked even if he
knew she would lie and say "no"
"No, of course I like it,i was just wondering"
she replied putting her best fake smile on her
face .
Jake needs to think of a way to help his sister
out, he can't watch her marry a man she has
no feelings for and far older for that matter .
"I will drop it now granny, I need to go too
my room" Helena said trying to drop the cup,
but it slipped from her hand and landed on
the surface of the ties floor , it broke into
million pieces, she looked up at her brother
and mother who's faces held shock .
"Oh my god, what have you done, you broke
your wedding cup" Mary said
"It was a mistake mother " Helena said .




"Don't stress about it dear, am sure Leo will
get you another one , I will tell him this one is
broken" Mary try to confort Helena smiling,
Helena looked at Jake and walked upstairs to
her room, as she heard her grandmother
Calling on their servant Jane to clean up the
mess.
Once she reached her room she went and sat
on the bed, can she marry Leo? He was older
than her by far , she couldn't let out all shes
feeling, her grandmother is pushing her into a
loveless marriage, she was just 25 and Leo is
45 , 20 years older than her, the gap was too
much , if she could fly, she will fly away and
run for good , no love , no spark , no
attraction, but Leo shower's her with lots of
gifts, showing her he loves her and will do
anything for her , tears fell from her eyes .

Standing up from the bed she walked to her
window and looked out into the city , her
fingers playing with the necklace around her
neck, she looked down at it , it was the
pendent given to her by her father Jackson
Montana, she thought about when he was still
alive , he had handed it to her when she was
18, it's been 7 years already but it's just like
yesterday, he had encouraged her to do the
things that are right , to follow her heart and
let no one lead her to the wrong part , to
deceive and hurt her ,she was his favorite,

, buy her her best novels , her mother too was
an epitome of beauty and she got her beautiful
looks from her, she died in a car accident, and
her father later got sick and died, it was a
painful memory , her grandmother and elder
brother Jake are the only people she has as
families now, and now her life is about to
crush before her eyes marrying an old man,
whom there was no love for , her tears rolled
more.




The door opened silently, still deep in thought
she didn't know when Jake entered.
"You don't want to do it right ? He asked .
Helena quickly cleaned her tears with shaking
hands as she heard her brothers voice, she
turned to face him.
Jake knew she was crying cause her eyes were
so red,he hates to see her in such condition
and it breaks him.
"Jake I......" She tries to say but he moved
closer to her .
" You can't keep crying like this Helena " he
said staring at his sister .
"I know you don't want this marriage and
believe me when I say it hurts me too , please
Helena , if you don't want to do it then don't "
Jake said .
Only if it was easy .
"Jake it's too late already, there's nothing i can
do , the wedding has been fixed, two days
from now I will be marrying him , I don't think
there's anymore chance " she said solely.
Jake held her at arms length and spoke his
mind .
"Run away " he said , that moment Helena's
eyes shoot up looking at Jake bewildered what
he had said .
"Run away? She asked .
"Yes , run away , go away from here and don't
return till everything is okay again , trust me I
know you wouldn't want to be tied down with a
man you don't love and mostly far older than
even I am, or don't you want to be free from
him? He asked .
"Of course Jake, but where do I run to ,I have
no friends what do I do then ? She asked .
" I have a friend who lives in new York, I can
tell him am sending you over , and he will be
nice to you " Jake said .
Helena's eyes widen.
"His a guy? She asked .
"Yes, but his my bestfriend, his not bad, he
has his own money and power inheritance
from his parents, but he doesn't live alone, his
grandmother stays with him and his cousin
sister of course, they are nice people you will
be comfortable staying with them, and once
Alexander knows your my sister , then they will
welcome you whole heartedly" Jake said .
Helena couldn't help the smile that crept it
way upon her face , she will run away , yes .
"So tell me Jake , when do I leave? She asked .
"Tomorrow night , I will speak to Alexander
right now " he said .
"Wait Jake , but tomorrow night is gonna be

up hope that she won't be able to run away
then.
" Helena stop ranting about this Marriage stuff

quickly.
"Okay Jake , I trust you " she said .
"You should get some sleep now, I know you

"I don't believe these things." I said as I noticed Lucian dancing with Klara, and I completely forgot what the king just told me. She blushed as she said something to him, and blinked with her long lashes seductively.

The King chuckled, "you're pretty possessive about your husband."

I wasn't listening to him anymore because Klara was leading Lucian somewhere secluded outside of the hall.

"I need to speak with my husband. Will you excuse me Your Majesty?" I said.

He gave me a knowing smile and dropped my hand. I quickly walked through the dancing crowd and proceeded out of the hall. Where did she take him? Looking through the halls, I couldn't find him and even if I did what would I do? Men had the privilege of taking other women if they dėsɨrėd to. I hated this unfairness.

"My lady, are you lost?" said a maid who noticed that I was walking through the halls looking for something.

Yes, I was lost; I didn't know where to go or what to do.

"I can show you the way…" she offered, and then gestured with her hand, "the party is that way."

"Show me to my room instead." I demanded.




I paced back and forth in my room restlessly as I waited for Lucian. Where was he? What was he doing? Images of Klara and him nȧkėd under the sheets appeared in my head, and I quickly struggled to push these thoughts away. As I imagined all of the dirty deeds they could potentially do with one another, my train of thoughts came to a halt as the door to the room opened and Lucian strutted in.

"Where were you?" I blurted unable to stop myself. He lifted an eyebrow questioningly.

"Why?" he asked walking seductively in my direction.

"I saw you leave the party with Klara." I said with all confidence I could muster. I tried not to be intimidated by his closeness or by his burning gaze.

"So?" he asked walking even closer until I could smell his spicy scent. Suddenly the air became hot and heavy, and my mind became like a fog. I took a few steps back to get away from his intoxicating presence. I needed to regain my ability to think straight.

"Don't you think it's a little unfair wife? You don't like me being with someone else, yet you don't want to be with me..." He said.

Well, yes, I know I'm being unfair. I should just give him what he wants and needs.

"That's not true." I attempted to deny.

"Then kiss me."

Lucian studied Hazel's features as they morphed into surprise, but then determination appeared in her chocolate brown eyes. To his disbelief, she crossed the distance between them, wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down crushing his lips on her own. Her plump lips were soft and sweet as they moved against his but with hesitance he noted. He could tell by her restrained movement that she was inexperienced.

He raised his arm and grabbed a handful of her hair and tilted her head back slightly then he took charge. He kissed her slowly, teasingly trying to teach her lips how to move. Her lips quivered slightly but then she slowly adapted to his movement until their lips moved in sync.

He ran his fingers down her spine, pulling her so close until no space were left between them and he could feel her heart hammering against his ċhėst. Then his fingers traveled back up her spine and entangled themselves in her hair. This time he pulled her closer adding more pressure to their lips. She mȯȧnėd in response and his control snapped.

He grabbed the arm of her dress ready to tear it apart, he wanted her nȧkėd, her bȧrė skin against his, her legs wrapped around his waist as he lose himself inside of her. She was tormenting him with her lips and his hands began to shake in self restraint. He didn't want to scare her by tearing her dress like a beast, now that she kissed him purely out of her own will. Lust made his vision black as his inner demon urged to take control over his body.

Hazel pulled away from the kiss, but he grabbed her harshly wanting more. She whimpered under his grasp.

"Lucian, you're hurting me." She complained.




He must've scared her again. He cursed under his breath as he tried to loosen his grip. Slowly, he looked up to meet her gaze, expecting to see fear, but all he saw was concern. What was she so concerned about?

"You're trembling. Are you alright?" He noticed that he was shaking uncontrollably as she asked.

"I… I'm just cold." He lied, but even his voice was shaky.

"Are you sick?" she asked as she walked closer then placed her palm on his forehead.

"You're burning. You have a fever!" She gasped, but wasted no time in grasping his hand and leading him to the bed.

"Lay down." She commanded.

When he complied "I'll be back." she said and left. He let out a sigh of relief.

He didn't protest about her departure, because he wanted to be alone. He cursed inwardly and wondered what he had done to make the gods give him such a fate. Truly, he was cursed.

Hazel came back with a bowl of water and a cloth. She sat on the carpet next to the bed and patted the cloths that she dripped in the water on his forehead.

"I'm fine Hazel. I don't need this." He protested.

"You are not fine. You're burning like fire." If she only knew that he wasn't burning because he was sick, but rather because he wanted her. He wanted her so badly it hurt.

She repeated the same movement for a while, and he could feel her getting tired. "I am fine now, come and sleep."

"I'll sleep after you fall asleep." She said.

He knew she was stubborn and wouldn't listen so he didn't argue with her. Instead, he pretended to fall asleep in hopes that she would sleep as well.

After a while he could hear her breathing became steady so he opened his eyes and found her in deep slumber. Her head rested on the bed while she still sat on the floor. He climbed down and gathered her in his arms before he carefully placed her on the bed, then he watched her while she slept peacefully. Never in his life had he thought that he would be able to fall in love, but now he was slowly falling for this woman; his stubborn and easily jealous wife.

Married To The Devil's Son S1C19

Facebook Story Group

MARRIED TO THE DEVIL'S SON - By Author Jasmine Joseph.

     - S1C19
I laid in the bathtub filled with hot water thinking about what the guards had said about me. I shouldn't have slapped Lucian in front of his men. It was disrespectful and still he hadn't got angry on me. He was asleep when I came back to the room so I asked a maid to prepare a hot bath for me. The hot water was soothing, relaxing my tense muscles it felt like a massage and in a moment it made fall into a deep sleep.

I woke up shifting in the bed. The soft satin sheets rubbed against my skin and I realized I was not wearing much. I quickly sat up on the bed and lifted the sheet up. I was only wearing a towel, my shoulders legs and thɨġhs were bȧrė. It took me a moment to remember that I was taking a bath earlier and fell asleep and now I was here. How?

A sound made me look to my left. Lucian was sitting in a chair, a glass of wine in his hands as he studied me with those extraordinary eyes. He was the only one who could have brought me here, which meant that he had seen me nȧkėd. Heat crept it's way up to my cheeks and I grabbed the sheets around me closer as if they would protect me from his gaze or change the fact that he had seen me nȧkėd.

"Did..did you bring me here?" I stammered. He put his glass down, standing up he walked toward me.

"Would you prefer someone else did?" he asked standing at the end of the bed towering over me. I felt uncomfortable so I climbed down from the bed still holding the sheets tightly around my body and tried to get away from him, but he grabbed my arm and pulled me in for a hug. I gasped and dropped the sheets standing there in only a towel while he holds me so tight I can't even breath.



"Why?" he breathed into my neck as his arms trembled slightly.

"Why?" I repeated confused at his question. He pulled away and stared at me "You should dress. The party starts soon" he said and left quickly.

Two maids walked in just after Lucian had left. "My lady, we shall help you prepare for the party."

They showed me several beautiful dresses to choose from. Most of them showed a lot of cleavage which I didn't like but it seemed to be the kind of dresses they wore in this kingdom. I chose the least revealing one, a black off the shoulder dress with a v neckline that showed a bit of cleavage.

When I was done dressing it was time for hair. The maids styled my hair up beautifully only letting a few strands of hair fall at the sides of my face. I put some jewelry on, beautiful diamond earrings with a matching bracelet and a ring. I looked myself in the mirror one last time before the maids led me to where the party would take place.

My eyes scanned the extravagant hall as I walked in. People in fancy clothes, eating, dancing, chatting and drinking filled the hall, their voices and laughter mixed with the music. A perfectly polished floor, scarlet rugs with matching curtains, dining tables and chairs. Two long tables stood at the back of the room where many different grand dishes and drinks were served.

I felt a hand around my waist, turning my head I found Lucian next to me. His eyes were dark and he seemed to be in a bad mood. He didn't even look my way as he led me inside.

"How do I look?" I asked gathering some courage. He paused and looked at me. His gaze softened as his eyes traveled the length of my body lingering a little longer on my brėȧsts before traveling back up to my face.

"Do you want me to answer politely or honestly?" he asked in a serious tone.

"Honestly" I whispered.

He leans down to say something but just then someone spoke from behind him.

"I see you have come" The King walked toward us not dressed as fancy as royalties like to dress, but he still looked good.

"You look very elegant in black, Princess Hazel" he said as he took my hand and kissed it.

"Thank you, your majesty" I responded.

"May I have a dance?" he asked stretching his hand toward me. I glanced at Lucian and he gave me a reassuring smile. I took the king's hand and he led me to the dance floor. He danced so elegantly making us spin and glide over the dance floor with ease.

"I never thought fragile women were Draco's type" he smiled.

I never got described as fragile but a man with sisters who are warriors would probably think of me as fragile.

"Why do you call him Draco?" I asked ignoring his remark.

"Do you know what Draco means?" he asked.

"No"

"It means devil. Haven't you heard the legend of Dracula?"

"No" I reply once again.

"The legend speaks of a king who wanted to save his country from intruders but never had enough power, so he made a deal with the Devil. The Devil gave him the strength of a thousand men and an eternal life in exchange for his soul. Therefore they named him Dracula after the Devil."



I was confused. Why was he telling me this? Noticing my confusion he continued.

"Your king sent Lucian to war with only 500 men against an army with 2000 men. It's said that Lucian killed hundreds of men on his own and came back home with victory. He was only seventeen at that time. After that, he won every war. People said that the battlefield was his playground and began to believe the rumors about him being son of the Devil. I, on the other hand, believe he is The Devil."

MARRIED TO THE DEVIL'S SON - By Author Jasmine Joseph. 

S1C18

Klara kept glancing Lucian's way as we ate our breakfast, while the King and Lucian spoke informally with each other, which surprised me. The King was willing to help Lucian as they were already speaking of how to win this war. I only feared he would ask for something in exchange. Something bad.

"You should stay here until the King dies, then we will take action," the King said. as if waiting for someone's death was a daily occurrence.

"Rasmus? can you stop acting like a King at least until we eat our breakfast?" Klara asked.

Rasmus, Klara, Astrid: their names sounded Scandinavian.

"Of course" Rasmus smiled at his sister.

"We have a party tonight. I hope you can attend after you have rested" he then said to me and Lucian.

"Of course" Lucian replied.

"Astrid, why don't you take them to a nice room. I am sure they would like to rest."

I was so tired, but as I laid on the bed next to Lucian all I could do was ask questions.

"You seem to know Rasmus pretty well," I began.

"Yes," was all he said before closing his eyes. He lay on his back while I lay on my side, facing him.

"Why does he call you Draco?"



Click: Types of IQ


"It's just a nickname" he said shortly. This wasn't working. I couldn't reach through to him. Maybe he was too tired.

"His sisters are beautiful."

He shot his eyes open and looked my way. He looked at me calculatingly for a while before he replied, "Yes they are."

"How did you save his sister" I asked curiously. I think I saw a little smile on his face before it disappeared quickly.

"I didn't. I just spared her life. Our kingdoms were at war with each other few years ago and we won by killing most of their men."

"Are you saying she went to fight in a war?" I asked, surprised. She was a woman, not only that, but a princess, and she went to fight a war?

"Yes, she and her sister. They are warriors and know very well how to fight. After all, their ancestors were Vikings; they have it in their blood." I just listened, fascinated by how these beautiful women could be warriors. I wondered if he was fascinated by them as well. Maybe that's why he spared her life. Maybe he thought she was beautiful. She was at least more beautiful than I was; much more beautiful.





Letting out a sigh, I closed my eyes and tried to sleep, but then I heard Lucian say, "Thank you for coming with me" in a sleepy voice. Opening my eyes I looked at him. He was asleep.

I shifted in bed for a while, but I couldn't fall asleep. Sitting up, I swung my legs down off the bed and stood up on the neat sapphire blue carpet that covered the ground.

I looked back at Lucian, who was sleeping peacefully on the royal blue satin sheets. He looked more beautiful than ever while asleep. I slid into a simple dress, fixed my hair and put my shoes on before exiting the room.

I walked through the halls, not knowing exactly where I was when I heard female voices I recognized coming from a room. I stopped to listen.

"Klara, there are a thousand men out there who dėsɨrė you. Just forget about him"

"I know but no one is like him. I want him, sister."

"He is married now. Why do you want to be a second wife when you can get any man you want?" Astrid asked, frustration clear in her tone.

"I would rather be with someone I want and become a second wife than be with someone I don't want," Klara said stubbornly.





"He is a man with no position right now. There is no guarantee that he will become the next king of Decresh." A tiny gasp escaped past my lips, yet it was loud enough for Astrid to hear in the echoing room. They were talking about Lucian.

"Who is there?" Astrid asked as I heard her footsteps coming closer. I quickly hid behind one of the limestone columns in the hall.

"What is it?" Klara asked.

"Nothing. I just thought I heard someone" Astrid said and then I heard the door close. I peeked from behind the column to make sure they were gone and then quickly got away from there.

I quickly walked through the halls trying to find my way back to the room. My life had become a mess in only a week. First I got married against my will, then before I got to know my mysterious husband a war knocked on the door, then I fought with my parents and now I was in a kingdom ruled by a bloodthirsty king and his sister who wanted my husband.

While looking for a room I found an exit to a garden. I walked out and found some of Lucian's men chatting there. Some were sitting under the roof, away from the sun resting while some were talking about someone. Me.

"Did you see how she slapped him" a guard with brown hair asked imitating me slapping Lucian. He lift his hand and drew it back before landing a fake slap on another guards cheek.

"Behave yourself Ky," Lincoln said, sitting with his eyes closed, leaning his back on the wall.

"No seriously. She is brave. I like her." he continued, ignoring Lincoln.

"She shouldn't have slapped him in front of everyone. It was disrespectful toward his highness," another one retorted. Oliver laughed, turning around. He saw me standing there and I thought he would say something to make the men know I was there listening to everything, but he kept quiet and let the men continue talking about me.

"She is a good person," someone defended me. It was brother of Lisa, the maid who stole my golden hairpin. "She genuinely cares for His Highness," he continued.




"That's true," another one said. Oliver smiled a mischievous smile before saying "My Lady," finally making my presence known and surprising the guards.

Everyone stood up quickly "My lady," they said, bowing deeply and then looking at me with fear.

"I apologize for their behavior," Lincoln said, bowing deeply. "Apologize to Her Highness!" he reprimanded, sending the guards a hard glare.


Want to ask your crush out on val's day?


"It's alright." I smiled. "Everyone is entitled to their own opinion." They all stared at me in surprise, except Lincoln. His face showed no expression.
