In Love With Them Chapter 1 Not allowed out

The evening came visiting again as always on the fifth day of the week of the sixth month, Stephanie arrived home, heaving a deep sigh as she closed the door slowly behind her.

"I'm home!" She cried out, Stephanie does that when she doesn't find her parents in the living room sitting together. So she says she's home so they could know.

"Honey" Sarah whispered as she rushed out of the kitchen when Stephanie placed her bag on the couch which had a table in front of it having four couch surrounding it and the television.

She turned to her Mom who was standing a little far from the kitchen entrance. She heard her Mom earlier and went to greet her by hugging her.

It was a big relief to see her daughter come back from school safe and sound.

"Where's Dad?" Stephanie asked looking around when she pulled out of her mom's embrace before returning her gaze back to her.

"He's out for a meeting. He'd be back soon" Sarah replied. She had a blue apron on which made Stephanie knew her Mom was cooking, she had knew earlier anyway since she came out of the kitchen and she could also perceive the aroma of the food she was cooking. She couldn't wait to have dinner.

"Ohh okay"

Sarah turned around to go back to the kitchen.

"I'd be right back" she told Stephanie and entered the kitchen while Stephanie went to sit on the couch where her bag was. She played a music on her phone piercing the earphone in to her ear and closed her eyes. She was really tired from the grading of homework for junior classes.

Stephanie was a third year student in highschool and soon she'd be graduating. The thought of graduating made her to feel she couldn't wait.

Just then, Sarah walked out without the apron. She stood a bit far from the couch watching her daughter. She had so many thought and she could view that her daughter was exhausted with the way she sat down. Sitting not only on her buttocks but also with part of her back.

"How was school today?" Sarah asked as she walked to sit next to Stephanie on the chair arm. Stephanie couldn't hear what her Mom was saying so she pulled the earphone out.

"Huh?" she asked her eyebrows lifted.

"I mean you look tired"

"Yes, I'm tired. I was given so many books to grade my eyelashes itself are tired." She exaggerated making her Mom feel pity for her. Sarah caressed her daughter's hair. A long swept dark hair just like hers.

"And I'm hungry" she added.

"Go up and freshen up now. So you could eat. Hmn" Sarah spoke.

Stephanie face lit up, her lips slowly curving into a sweet excited smile. She stood up immediately grabbing her bag and jerked off to her room.

Sarah walked into her daughter's room attempting to wake her up from sleep. She does that every morning except Saturdays and Sundays. Sarah loved doing that and it wasn't a stress to her. She walked to the window and moved the curtains letting the sun that just rose streaming to Stephanie's face. She slept on the left side of the bed laying on her side.

The sunlight streaming on her face, she wrinkled her face turning to the other side.

"Stephanie, it's dawn. Wake up you have to go to school" Sarah said when she noticed Stephanie wasn't ready to get up.

She turned back to her Mom, her eyes now opened. Sarah saw that her goal to wake up her daughter had been accomplished, she walked up to her sitting on her soft bed. Everything covering the bed was blue and white. Stephanie loved all colors, so she had no favorite.

Seeing her Mom coming forward, she sat up.

"Good morning Mom" she greeted intone. Sarah smiled.

"Morning. Hope you slept well" she replied but Stephanie didn't reply.

Sitting beside her, she curved her right leg on the bed while the other still on the ground while Stephanie crossed hers. She had a sad look on her face.

"What's wrong?" Sarah asked tucking the hair in front of Stephanie's eyes in her ear.

She turned to face her Mom, she had a request but the doubt that her parents would agreed to it was written on her face. Even when she knew the answer, she wanted to ask. Who knows they might actually have a different response to it. She needed to ask.

"Mom..... Can I go.... Go to.." she sighed out in frustration. What if their response would be No?

Well she had to prepare for that, she shouldn't get her hopes up.

"I mean, I was invited to attend my friend's birthday party which is this weekend. Tomorrow" she let it out. "Can I go?" She asked. Looking away and without looking at her Mom and the silence she knew the answer.

"Stephanie, you can't. You cannot leave this house except to go to school. It's for your protection" Sarah replied, the same thing she says all the time Stephanie asked and when she protest, she gets grounded, and grounded from what? She doesn't go out so she was always grounded only that they seized her cellphone for as long as she was grounded and couldn't watch TV.

"But what protection? I don't get why you and Dad are so overprotective. Why?" She asked frowning. "I'm seventeen already and I can take care of myself. I'm not a baby anymore"

Sarah stood up. "You wouldn't understand. Now get dressed for school. You are going to be late and I'd come pick you up today" she said and left the room before Stephanie could throw another question at her.

She stared at the door as if her Mom was still there. Displeased, She wondered what it would be like to be in a party even when her parents had threw many for her, only her friends were invited which wasn't so much like a party. She racked her hands through her hair before heading to the bathroom.

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

Nathaniel Stone

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.

The Billionaire's Blind Bride: No Mercy

The Billionaire's Blind Bride: No Mercy

Emma
4.3

I married Clive Harrington, the coldest billionaire in Manhattan, under a strict contract that forbade any emotional burdens. When I needed a high-risk surgery to save my sight, I checked into the clinic alone, hiding the procedure from a husband who saw me as nothing more than a legal asset. I thought I could handle the darkness in silence. But while I was blind and bandaged in my hospital bed, my biological mother called, screaming that if I didn't produce a Harrington heir by the end of the fiscal year, she would cut off the life-saving treatments for my disabled sister. I was crawling on the cold hospital floor, desperately feeling for a cane I had dropped, when I touched a pair of expensive leather shoes. It was Clive. He was supposed to be in London closing a multi-million dollar deal, but there he was, watching his "contract wife" groveling in the dark like a beggar. He didn't walk away in disgust. He carried me to a five-thousand-dollar-a-night VIP suite and sat by my bed, listening in chilling silence as another voicemail from my mother filled the room, calling me a "useless broodmare" who was only worth the trust fund disbursements my marriage secured. I expected him to remind me of Clause 34B or hand me divorce papers now that I was "damaged goods." Instead, I felt his thumb brush a stray tear from my cheek, his presence shifting from a statue of ice into a predatory shield. "I thought I was just currency to you," I whispered, my voice trembling behind the gauze. "Just an investment." Clive didn't answer with words. He picked up his phone and called his head of legal with a single, terrifying command: "Kill the Douglas family’s credit lines. Every debt, every lien—trigger them all. If they want a war, I’ll give them a massacre." As he leaned down to kiss my bandaged forehead, I realized the contract was dead. My husband wasn't protecting an asset anymore; he was hunting the people who had dared to touch what belonged to him.
