Promises and Lies

“I see you are already getting dressed.” Jace said,“What are you doing here? You aren't meant to see your bride till she gets to the altar.”“I couldn’t wait to see you.” Jace said.“Really?”Jace burst out into laughter,“And you actually believed that?”“I didn’t, just playing along.” Charlotte said.“I see.”“Well I have to meet my stylist, I just want to get this whole wedding over with.”[Charlotte] “same.”[Jace] “Sure you do.” He said, before leaving the room.The wedding hall glowed gold beneath massive chandeliers.Politicians, CEOs, paparazzi, powerful personalities. All gathered together to celebrate with the Norman family.Everything looked perfect.Charlotte stood in front of the mirror while two stylists adjusted the final details of her dress.“You look nervous,” one of them said.“I’m pregnant and about to marry a billionaire I barely understand,” Charlotte replied. “What part exactly should make me calm?”The stylist awkwardly laughed.A knock sounded.“Mrs. Norman,”

THE WEDDING VOWS

The music started softly, grabbing the attention of everybody in the hall.Charlotte stood at the entrance beside Mrs. Rodrigo, her fingers tightening around the bouquet in her hands. The wedding gown fit perfectly, but somehow she still felt out of place inside it.The room was dazzling.Crystal lights, cameras flashing, Politicians and billionaires alike whispering to one another. Men and Women in dresses worth more than houses. And at the altar stood Jace. He was wearing a black tuxedo, and had one hand in his pocket.Looking bored already.Charlotte almost rolled her eyes.“Relax your shoulders,” Mrs. Rodrigo whispered beside her.“I’m trying.”“No. You’re surviving. There’s a difference.”Charlotte breathed out.Then the sound of the music got louder, the doors to the hall fully opened.And suddenly every eye in the room was on her.The walk toward Jace felt longer than it actually was.People smiled at her, some looking impressed, while others looked curious.A poor waitress

ALONE ON HER WEDDING NIGHT

Jace left the mansion through the back gate in a grey Ferrari.The security guard on ground tried stopping him.“Open the gates.” Jace said, to the security guard.“I am sorry sir I can't open the gate for you, at least not without the permission of Mr. Norman.”“Interesting… just Interesting.” Jace said, “So what you are trying to say is that I do not hold any power whatsoever to give you orders?”“No, no sir you are misunderstanding the whole situation.” “Then make me understand the whole situation.” Jace said,“Your father gave orders that he should be informed before you leave the house through the back gate.”“Now this is even more interesting to hear.” He said, “Take a good look at me, do I look like a five year old or a teenager who needs permission from his father before stepping out of the house?”“No sir, you are a fully grown adult.” The security guard replied.“Quick question also, whose wedding ceremony was just concluded?” Jace asked,“Yours sir.”“Now quit being stupi

NOT YOUR WIFE

“I have something to deal with real quick.” Jace replied to Zena's chat.[Zena] “What’s more important than coming to me?” [Jace] “I don’t plan on wasting much time.”[Zena] “twenty minutes.”[Jace] “What happens in twenty minutes?”[Zena] “That’s the time you have left to get to my place. She said, “Twenty minutes…”[Jace] “Is this a threat or what? I am meant to be the one giving you time to follow.”[Zena] “Twenty minutes Jace, ohh sorry nineteen minutes now.”[Jace] “Who do you think you are?”[Zena] “I am Zena, not your wife.”[Jace] “So what is that supposed to mean exactly?”[Zena] “Eighteen minutes… “[Jace] “Pathetic.”[Zena] “What’s pathetic is the fact you still haven't turned your car in the direction of my house.”Zena didn’t reply to any further text from Jace.[Jace] “You aren't serious.”[Jace] “Zena? Are you there?”“Damn it.” Jace muttered to himself before making a turn and heading straight to Zena's apartment.Meanwhile–“Why did you invite the both of us over, or

WHAT’S IN THE TRUNK

Jace took off his suit, and slowly opened the buttons of his long sleeve while walking towards Zena.He moved his fingers slowly on her thighs while looking her in the eye.“Are you scared?” She asked,“Do I seem scared?” He replied.“You’ve been staring at my thighs since you walked in.” Do I appear to be intimidating?” She asked,“Is it wet?” He asked,“Ohh wow, direct, I love that.” She said, rubbing his chest. “You will have to find that out yourself.”Jace held her thighs locking them on his waist while slowly kissing her neck.She held his collar tight, drawing him closer.He brushed his lips against hers as they kissed slowly, he whispered in her ear.“Suck my d**k.”“Too far.” She replied.He lifted her up and took her straight to the room, dropping her on the bed while trying to take off his trouser.“And what exactly are you doing?” She asked eyebrows raised,“Taking off my trousers, what does it look like?” He replied.“I know, but why?” she asked.“What is this, a joke? W

THE CLIFFSIDE

Jace immediately got frightened.“Why did you open the trunk?” He asked,“That doesn’t answer my question, I asked Who is this in your trunk?” She said,“You weren’t supposed to see that.”“Obviously I wasn’t supposed to see you have a dead body in your trunk.” She said,“You are just overreacting.”“Am I overreacting? There's literally a dead man squeezed inside your trunk.” She said,Jace got out of the car.“He isn't dead, he's probably just unconscious.” He said,“Dead or unconscious, why on earth is a man squeezed in a Ferrari trunk?”“He's a security guard, and he works for the Norman family.”“Then why will you have a security guard who works for you squeezed up in a trunk?” She asked,“He crossed his boundaries, and I just had to teach him a lesson.”“Ohh wow! Do you know you could be arrested for this?” She asked,“I am fully aware of that, I am also aware of the fact you can only serve punishment if there is concrete evidence.” He said,“Well this is more than enough eviden

FEAR SINKS FAST

“Well… this is interesting.”The familiar voice instantly made Jace turn around.Mallory stepped out of the black SUV slowly, heels clicking against the rough road. She folded her arms as her eyes moved from Jace… to Zena… then finally to the terrified security guard kneeling close to the edge of the cliff.For a few seconds, nobody spoke.Then Mallory laughed.“You disappear on your wedding night, and this is what I find?” she asked. “A roadside kidnapping?”Zena immediately stepped away from the guard.“You know her?” she asked Jace quietly.Mallory ignored her completely.“What exactly is going on here?” she asked.Jace looked irritated already.“You followed me?”Mallory smirked. “You left your location on.”Jace cursed under his breath. “Bitch.”The guard suddenly crawled toward Mallory desperately.“Ma’am please help me.”Mallory looked down at him. Her face remained calm.“What did he do?” she asked Jace.“He disrespected me.” He said,Mallory raised an eyebrow. “And your solut

THE BODY ALWAYS RETURNS

The maid standing behind him slowly stepped backwards.The entire sitting room suddenly felt smaller.Jace’s jaw tightened, and then Jace’s phone rang.He checked who was calling, and it was his father.Jace stared at the screen for two seconds before declining the call instantly.The phone rang again immediately.This time, he answered.“What?” Jace said.Mr. Norman’s voice came calm.“Get to my office. Now.”The call ended.—Mr. Norman stood beside the large windows in his office while the television continued playing the news quietly in the background.His personal assistant stood near the desk looking nervous.Then his private phone rang.Mr. Norman answered immediately.“This is Edward Norman speaking.”“Good morning, sir,” a deep voice replied. “Deputy Police Officer Raymond Cole, Atlanta Georgia State Police Department.”Mr. Norman’s face remained unreadable.“How may I help you, officer?”“We recovered the body of one of your security employees this morning.”“Daniel Park.”

THE LIE STARTS BREATHING

Mallory stared at the three officers standing outside her apartment.The female officer remained calm.“Miss Allison, we need you to come with us.”Mallory folded her arms slowly.“Do you have a warrant?”The officers exchanged brief looks.“We’re bringing you in for questioning.”“That didn’t answer my question.”The male officer sighed already looking tired.“Miss Allison—”“No.” Mallory cut in immediately. “I know my rights.”Her heartbeat had started rising badly now, but she refused to show it.“You can’t just show up at my apartment and expect me to follow you like some criminal.”The female officer kept her voice professional.“We’re trying to handle this respectfully.”“And I’m trying not to sue the Atlanta Police Department before breakfast.”One of the officers muttered quietly under his breath. “She's acting suspicious.”Mallory heard it.“What was that?” she snapped.“Nothing ma’am.”Mallory grabbed the edge of the door tighter.“I want my lawyer first.”“You can contact y

SOME LIES NEED VOLUNTEERS

“This is insane.”Mallory pushed herself away from the interrogation table abruptly.Detective Cole remained seated calmly while the other officers inside the room watched her carefully.“You’re telling me there’s no Zena?” Mallory asked.“That’s exactly what we’re telling you,” Detective Cole replied.Mallory laughed nervously.“No. No, that’s impossible.”The female officer folded her arms. “You said she worked for the Norman Enterprise.”“She does!”“We checked.”Mallory shook her head repeatedly.“Then check again.”“We already did.”“Then your people are incompetent.”Detective Cole sighed quietly.“Miss Allison—”“No.” Mallory snapped immediately. “You don’t understand.”She started pacing now.“There was a girl there, she wore a black dress, she had dark hair, with a very sharp mouth and an annoying attitude.”The officers exchanged glances.Mallory pointed toward them aggressively.“She drove the Ferrari!”“There was no Ferrari.”“There WAS!”Detective Cole leaned back slight
