Jay stood in front of Naomi while she was still under her vail, Naomi smiles because Jay fall into her trap, Mrs Johnson smile seeing her son stood front of one of the girls.“ Jay! Remove her veil and see the girl under the veil” his mum said and Jay hold the veil in his hand and Naomi smiled under her veil, Jay remove her veil, Naomi’s head was down and she smile, Jay and other could not see her face because her face was faced down.“ You should raise her head so we could all see how you look” Mrs Johnson said and Naomi heard was still down as she refused to raised her head up, Jay use his finger to raise her head up, Naomi was looking so beautiful, Jay admired her beauty and immediately he fell in love with her, Mrs and Mr Johnson also liked her the very first time they saw her and they hope their sim liked her, Mrs Johnson walked closer to them.“ Young lady! Please tell us your name the way you came from” Mrs Johnson said.“ My name is Naomi Nat, I am also from this village, my dad and mum were a trader but unfortunately, they no more , I am an orphan. It’s so sad my parents could not witness this day, I hope they did but they left me so soon”she said in tears and Mrs Johnson calmed her down.“ Please, don’t cry Naomi, everything happened for a reason” Mrs Johnson said.“ I hope, you wouldn’t mind that I am from a very poor family” she said.“ Well, it’s depends on my son Jay, he is the one that will choose, his choice matters a lot with us” Mrs Johnson said.“ Jay! Do you still want to proceed or you are satisfied with her and want to know more about her?” His mum asked.“ Mum! I guess, I am satisfied with her, I want to know her more, I have chosen her” he said and Naomi smiled because that what she wanted not because she loved him but because she wanted a revenge from the family.“I guess, she will make me happy” he said and Naomi smiled.“ You think this is the beginning of your happiness but this is just the beginning of your sadness, you think I am your destiny but unfortunately I am your doom only and I will make sure I make your father pay for all he did, he killed my dad” she said in anger in her mind.“ Alright, my son already choose his choice so this feast can be over and now we can start the party and celebrate” Mrs Johnson said and the party started and they served all the guest, the rest of the girls were upset, Naomi and Jay went to a cool place, the witch saw everything that happened in her special magic water.“ I wish I could tell you that you are Jay’s destined and not his doom, I hope it will not be to late before you realize that what you are about to do it’s against your future and might affect your generation” the witch said in pain pitying her.Jay took a glass of wine and he took one for her where she stood in the backyard dressed in a long yellow gown.“ You look so beautiful” he said and he handed over the glass of wine for her and she smiled.“ Thank you” she said and she took the glass of wine from him and she sip.“ Why do you choose me? I was on veil” she asked.“ I don’t know, I just felt something special, I think we are made for each other” he said and Naomi smiles.“ Then, we should get married immediately” she said and Jay smiled.“ Don’t you think we should get to know each other first?” He asked.“ Yes, you are right but we can get to know each other when we get married. What do you think?I am a orphan, we do not need to waste time”She said.“ That is a good idea, I will speak to my parents about us to get married by tomorrow. Is that fine?” He asked and Naomi smiles.“ Yeah, that is fine by me” she replied and she smiled, Peter walked closer to them.“Ehmm… I hope, I am not interrupting something here?” Peter asked and Jay smiles.“ Come on man, you are not. Well Peter, this is Naomi, my wife to be and Naomi this is Peter my best friend” Jay said and Naomi smiles greeted him.“ Well, I will be with your mum and give you your privacy with your friend” Naomi said and she was about to leave and Jay stopped her.“ Wait a minutes! Peter should give us our privacy” Jay said.“ I need to speak to you for a moment alone” he said and Naomi left and went to Mrs Johnson.“ You just introduced her as your wife” Peter said.“ Of course, I did and by tomorrow, she will become my wife” he said and Peter was surprised.“ What! Are you crazy man? You barely even know this girl, I guess, you should give yourself time and get to know each other” Peter said.“ I love this girl and I want to get married to her tomorrow, I want her to be my wife by tomorrow and there is nothing no one can do about it” Jay said in anger.“ Seems this girl already gave you a live portion, I think you should calm down and think about this before entering the wrong hand, I don’t think this is right, think straight” Peter said.“ You know what Peter, you know nothing about relationship or marriage, I love her and I want to get married to her by tomorrow, that is final” he said in anger and he left Peter.“I think I need to do something about this, I guess Naomi has give my friend some love portion” Peter said speaking to herself.Chapter 4Naomi and Mrs Johnson are laughing and smiled, Jay walked closer to them smiling.“ Jay! It’s good you are here, I was discussing with Naomi about your childhood” his mum said and she smiled.“ Mum! Dad! I want to make an announcement” he said and his parents wonders what announcements, he wanted to make.“ Son! What announcement, do you want to make?” His mum asked.“ Naomi and I will be getting married by tomorrow, I want to announce that to the public and the preparations start now” he said and his parents were surprised especially his mother.“ Jay! Are you sure you are fine? You both barely even know each other, I know she is beautiful from the outside but what about the beauty inside, you need to know more about her before talking about to marriage” his mum said.“ There is nothing more to know about her mum, she is an orphan and I like her, I want her to get married to me by tomorrow, I want her to be my wife” he said and his mum stare at him and looked at Naomi and N
Chapter 5Naomi got the cave the witch always stay, and she entered the cave.“ What have you come here to do Naomi?”The witch asked and Naomi transformed into a half human and a half serpent.“ I need your help” she said.“ What kind of a help do you need?” The witch asked.“ I need you to make me a portion that will makeMr Johnson suffer before his death, I want to make the Johnson Family lose everything they have and I will be only satisfied when they are all died” she said and she smiled.“ I can’t help you with Naomi, you have to stop this, you are not supposed to be Jay’s doom but his destiny” the witch said.“ What do you know about destiny? You know nothing after all you are not my parents” she said.“ I may not be your parents but I am like a guiding to you since I have know where you came from” the witch said.“ Short up if you can’t help me, I will just go somewhere else, Witches are always wicked. Why is your different?”she asked in anger.“ There are good witches and I
Naomi The blood was soaking through the denim covering my thigh, each step dragging the coarse material against the puncture wound as I tried to remember the last time I had a tetanus booster. The ragged edge of the scaffolding that had snagged me had been rusty as fuck, and I wasn’t excited about the prospect of Lockjaw. Though, objectively, that condition would make it a hell of a lot easier to keep my mouth shut around my coworkers. I let out a sigh, seeing their cars parked down the street, knowing I was going to catch endless shit about getting hurt on the job. As if they never got roughed up. But it was different to them. Because I was a woman. Gritting my teeth, I pulled open the door to the private investigation office I’d been stubbornly working at for years, despite the endless flack the men gave me as they tried to drive me out the door of my own accord since they never had a legitimate reason to fire me. The office looked different from the wrong side of morning.
Like the one he was shooting me right then. Dressed in his usual black jeans and a black button-up, he had a bit of a professional appearance. But the skin that peeked out from his clothes was covered in tattoos. Including the backs of his hands. One had a skull. The other had a bold “AC” inked into it. For the Jay Johnson.That he ran. After breaking away from a cartel he’d grown up in while America. He smelled good, too. Kinda spicy, but not overwhelmingly so. Maybe just soap. Or very lightly applied cologne. “Hey, mama,” he said, giving me that smirk I’d mentioned. Gaze moving down, I saw he’d brought one of his mutts with him. A was a big fan of dogs. Lots and lots of pitbulls. Which, objectively, were probably a good idea when you had a massive, sprawling property that you couldn’t have a guard on every inch of. “You can’t bring your dog in here,” I told him, bringing my attention back to my leg, ripping the material wider, since they were trash now anyway. I didn’t ev
What can I say? People tended not to like us snooping around in their business. We got scratched up a lot. “Come on, Mr. Johnson ,” Peter said, turning to lead him toward the back as I dropped back down at my desk. “Val, sit,” A said to the dog, dropping his leash and leaving the dog a few feet from my desk. “Stay,” he added, tone both commanding and kind somehow at the same time. When I glanced up, A was standing in front of my desk, his dark gaze on me. “The fuck you let them talk to you like that for, mama?” he asked, knocking his knuckles on my desk, then turning and swaggering away. Leaving me with my anger and embarrassment, and a dog that was looking at me from all of three feet away. “I don’t like dogs,” I told Val, whose tan ears perked up at being spoken to, but stayed put. “It’s nothing personal. I don’t really… get the whole… animal-loving thing,” I admitted. “Christ, I’m talking to a dog,” I mumbled to myself as I got some triple antibiotic on a q-tip and swiped it
Twenty minutes later, I’d drafted and email and sent the pictures to the wife of the CEO, a woman who didn’t need this level of stress when she was already trying to raise four kids on her own without a nanny because her husband claimed it was “her job.” But it was what her lawyer sister said she needed. Proof. Undeniable proof. Because he had the access to the money, which meant he would throw a lot of it toward fighting her about alimony and custody and even child support. Meanwhile, the woman had worked her ass off to support him when he was building his business. It was a case that would end up being pretty high profile, and I was going to pay attention to the progress, rooting for the scorned wife all the way. Then the door was opening, and the muffled male voices spilled out and filled the small room, making Val’s tail waggle furiously, but he stayed where he’d been told to as his owner approached. “We will get started on the case immediately,” Peter said, all ass-kissy whe
I didn’t like losing that kind of crazy on this side of the border, but if there was a situation going on down there, he was someone who was capable of… sending a message. There was no room for subtle when it came to cartel warfare. Shit was rough between syndicates. Literal gunfights in broad daylight in the streets. That had been the life I’d grown up in. And because there wasn’t a whole fuckuva lot of options to get out of the debilitating poverty I’d been born into, I’d gotten myself wrapped up in that world before I was even in middle school. That life makes you hard, and it does it fast. I hadn’t so much as blinked at the idea of torture since I got my twelve-year molars in. “I’ll get him the message,” Marco said, nodding. “You heading out?” he asked when I reached for my keys. Here is where never letting anyone close enough to you to truly know your tells came in handy. Because I had to lie right to his face. “Val’s gotta hit the vet. Got something going on with his sto
A take-no-prisoners, badass woman who never let anyone even look at her sideways… let her coworkers talk to her like absolute shit. The fuck was that about? I had no idea, and then I was being ushered into the back with the men while Naomi sat in the front, watching my dog like he was planning on charging her or something. I sat there, saying very little, as the Peter guy prattled on and on and fucking on about their experience andAnd, at the end of it, I came to the conclusion that I didn’t trust a damn one of them to handle my shit. Hope, though? With her biker daddy and her biker uncles and her aunts that did all sorts of illegal shit? She could be trusted. Besides, it was funny as fuck to watch those men’s faces fall when I demanded it be Hope. If there was one thing I’d learned in life, it was that it was satisfying as hell to take a person of power down a peg or two. With that, I walked out, a smile tugging at my lips as I walked Val down the street with me to order som
