Tormentous Love

"What about us, Janelle?" Gideon asked, kneeling in a pool of blood.

"We never existed!" Janelle replied

"I gave you everything..." Gideon said

"After taking everything away from me? I don't think you were expecting me to gloat over a piece of cake, after you destroyed my entire bakery!" Janelle replied tearing

"I loved you, Janelle"

"Your love was torturous, Gideon"

"Says the woman who rejected a sacred bond because of rumors. Janelle, walk through that door, and we'll be strangers"

"So be it!"

Gideon followed the sweetest aroma that tickled his senses, until he found the owner of the sweet aroma. Janelle Johnson.

Reserved. Calm. Happy. These were the words he would use to describe Janelle Johnson before she lost everything.


Based on rumors, she rejected a bond she's longed for, her entire life.

Evil. Wicked. Bold. These were what Janelle thought Gideon Sparks was until she had a close look at him.

Fighting his own battles silently, Gideon watched Janelle slowly lead her people out of the hardship they landed and lended a helping hand.

Rejecting his help was one thing her ego wanted, but her people came first. Accepting his conditions, meant she was exchanging her freedom for that of her people.
