MATILDA'S LOVE AND RETRIBUTION Chapter 1 1

Matilda sighed sadly as she rested her back against the front door, with an envelope in her hands.

"How will I clear all these debts alongside Niki's hospital bills?" Matilda whispered to herself silently, as a drop of tear escaped her eyes.

She immediately cleaned her tears as she heard Niki approaching the sitting room.

"Were you talking to yourself?" Niki asked with his eyebrows arched in curiosity.

"Of course not little champ, I was just going through our bills for the month" she replied with a faint smile.

"Oh..." Niki said with sadness in his voice.

Matilda walked up to him and bent down to make direct eye contact with him.

"You have nothing to worry about alright? Big sis got it all covered, my little pumpkin" She playfully ruffled his hair.

"Don't call me that, I'm 12 now" Niki said with a little frown which made Matilda laugh heartily.

"You will always be my little pumpkin, baby brother. C'mon get your bag, you don't wanna make us late" Niki rolled his eyes as he picked up his school bag.

"Did you pack your medication? Your oxygen mask, I don't want you to..."

Niki cut her mid sentence "check check check, I packed it all no need to worry".

Matilda patted his head with a smile " you're a big boy now, and so responsible, c'mon let's go now".

***************

Matilda hurriedly went past everyone she met on the stairs, she cannot afford to get late to her desk before Jaden arrives.

She got to her desk panting heavily and let out a sigh of relief "I hope he has not arrived yet" She said as she started to arrange her desk.

Matilda inhaled three times to calm herself down before knocking on his door.

She knocked thrice, and there was no response. She knocked again and this time she was met with her bosses' husky voice.

"Come in".

"Good morning sir" Matilda greeted with her head bowed facing the ground, her both bands folded in front of her.

She cannot afford to look him straight in the eyes.

"Are you talking to the floor?" Jaden questioned with annoyance in his voice.

"No sir...I...I was only trying to..."

"Save your explanation, I do not care. Go and get me my coffee downstairs, it must not be below 100°C. Now". Jaden bellowed.

With her trembling and shaky legs, Matilda managed to find her way out of the office. She heaved a sigh of relief like she was choking from shortness of breath.

Matilda ran as fast as her leg could carry her to the cafeteria. She got Jaden's coffee just like how he always wanted it.

Hurrying back to his office, to prevent the coffee from dropping below the temperature he gave her.

"This is your coffee sir" She placed it in front of him, still not looking him in the eye.

"What's my schedule for today?" Jaden inquired as he took a sip from his coffee.

"You have a meeting with the manager of SOS company, by 11am.

Next, by 1pm you have a scheduled date at the Sweet Sensation restaurant with..."

"What? Did you just say a date?" Jaden was furious as he stood up from his desk and began to approach Matilda.

Matilda took a few steps backwards, to avoid his terrible gaze.

"Your father called me and said I should..."

"How many times have I told you never to take orders from my father?" Jaden blurted out in anger, his eyes brazing in fury.

"I am sorry sir" Matilda answered with a soft and trembling voice.

" Do not apologise to me, this should be the last time you ever take orders from my father. Have I made myself clear?!"

"Yes sir" A tear dropped from Matilda's eyes as she was scared and nervous.

"Now, take this coffee away and get me a new one. Your stupid self caused this, now get out and cancel that so-called date".

"Yes sir" she muttered with a teary and shaky voice.

Jaden railed at Matilda and did not care at all that she was crying.

***************

Matilda brushed past everyone she met on the way, faster than the speed of light.

She got a new cup of coffee for Jaden and also got one for herself, to help relax her nerves.

"Here's the new cup of coffee sir" she said, bowing her head as she headed towards the door to leave.

Little did she know that the wrath of her boss was not yet over.

"Did I ask you to leave?" Jaden queried.

Matilda turned back and her eyes met with his, and she looked down quickly to avoid his terrible stare.

Her feet were glued to the floor, her hands shaking from the fright. She uttered no response.

"I need these files to be ready before you leave for work today. I do not care if you have to stay after work hours, just get it done" he pointed at the pile of paperwork on the table, as he spoke.

Matilda's heart sank immediately, she remembered she had promised Niki to watch his favourite series Harry Potter, together later today.

"Understood sir" still in that fixed position, Matilda managed to voice out a response.

Jaden stood and picked up his jacket from the coat rack, walking towards the door where Matilda stood.

"I will be leaving for the meeting now"

He stopped walking when he got to where Matilda was standing, like he was waiting for a response.

"You will look at me when I speak to you, Matilda" Jaden growled.

It took every ounce of boldness left in Matilda, to look him in the eye.

The intimidating height from Jaden was very obvious, Matilda barely reached his shoulders.

Matilda felt like his eyes were piercing through hers as he stared at her. She parted her lips to speak, but words failed her.

"Anyways, just get the work done" Jaden finally said as he opened and went through the door.

As the sound of Jaden's footsteps fade away, Matilda collapsed against the wall, letting out a breath of frustration in it.

She took the pile of paperwork and headed to her desk. She slumped in her chair, as she placed her head on the table.

"What a good way to start the day" she muttered sadly to herself.

Matilda rose up and finished her already cold coffee in one gulp, as her phone rang.

"Yes, this Matilda Blair speaking. How can I help you?".

The coffee mug fell from her hands and broke.

"What?!...No no, it can't be!" Matilda yelled over the phone, her hands trembling as she placed them over her mouth, tears welled up in her eyes.

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."
