“Come on, go ahead. Tell the cops.” Damien said as he walked to her.
“No, no, please. You can't do this, my husband and parents will be worried sick about me.”
“You don't have to worry about that.”
“Why are you being this way? You just committed a great crime and you are so cool about it.”
“Am I supposed not to?”
“Please let me go.”
“I am not stopping you, go ahead. Jump off the ship and swim all your way back to New York City.”
“Wait, we aren't in New York City again?”
“Of course not, we are halfway to Salado.”
“What? Salado? That is in Texas.” She yelled and he nodded.
“We will be living there.”
“Damien, I think you don't understand what you just did. You took me against my will and somehow you managed to erase the last twenty-four hours of my life and now you are taking me to another country entirely to live with you for ninety days?”
“Exactly.”
“Are you crazy?” She yelled and he rolled his eyes.
“Alright, I am done being nice. You already understand what is going on so get back in the ship.”
“You are done being nice? You were never nice to me!”
“Get back in the ship, Audrey.”
“No, I will jump into this water.”
“And do what? Swim back to New York City?” He scoffed and she glared at him.
“Get back in the ship.” He said and walked towards her.
“If you come any closer, I swear, I will jump into the ocean.” She threatened and he moved closer to her.
‘Really? Isn’t he terrified by her threats?’ She thought as she moved closer to the edge of the ship.
“I am not joking, I will jump into the ocean.” She threatened and he move closer to her so that they were only inches apart, Audery felt intimidated by his look as she stared into his brown eyes.
“You know what Audrey? I like threats, a lot. So let me help you out with that.” He said and pushed her off the ship, Audery screamed as she fell into the ocean and started to cry in fear.
“Go get her.” He ordered his guards before walking into the ship.
*******
Damien answered calls every second as he waited patiently for Audrey, his guards already got her out of the water while his maids helped her with new clothes and took care of her.“She is here sir.” He heard a guard say and he turned to see her dressed in a skirt and a hoodie.
“Leave.” He ordered the guard and he bowed before exiting the room.
“Sit.” He ordered and she ignored him.
“I said sit.” He ordered again and she glared at him before sitting on the couch opposite him.
“Are you hungry?” He asked and she nodded, she wanted to ignore his question but she realized how hungry she is, it felt like she hasn't eaten in twenty-four hours and it was terrifying.
Some maids walked into the room and placed different foods on the table, Audery felt her stomach rumble at the sight of the meals.
She started eating before Damien asked her to and she saw him roll his eyes, she ignored him and kept eating, she is too hungry to wait for his orders.
“Thank you.” She said with a mouth full to the maid who poured her a glass of water before leaving the room.
“Eat slowly or you will choke.”
“The way I eat is none of your business.” She scoffed and continued eating.
Damien stared at her and took his time to check out his new project, no doubt he caught someone bigger this time.
“Take off that ring.” He ordered immediately after he noticed the ring on her finger.
“Why? I am married.”
“Take off the ring.” He ordered again and she sighed before taking it off.
“It's not fair, I want to go back to New York City.”
“Well, why didn't you swim back when you had the chance?”
“Are you being serious right now? You pushed me off the ship.”
“You wanted to jump off the ship and the only thing I did was helped you with that.”
“I was bluffing, it was obvious.”
“Well, it was a threat to me so I showed you I can't be threatened.”
“Seriously, why did you kidnap me? Why me of all people?”
“I kidnapped you because I want you to spend ninety days with me in Salado or other places I haven't thought of yet, after ninety days, I will give you anything you want and provide the best means for you to get back to your family.”
“But why? Why do I have to spend ninety days with you?”
“That is for me to know, it is none of your business.”
“So what if I don't want to spend ninety days with you?”
“Then I might probably kill you or sell you to some Russians or probably some people that are interested in slaves and you won't be able to see your husband and family again.” Damien explained and her eyes widen in shock.
“What?”
“Yes, I believe you heard me.” He replies and Audrey sighed, she really had no choice, does she?
Now she understands what is going on, she is stuck with this handsome-looking man here for ninety days and she has no choice but to flow with it, or else she might regret it. Isn't she doomed? But she is confused about one thing though.
How the hell can't she remember the last twenty-four hours of her life?
The last thing she remembers is going to bed with her husband, although they had an argument that night but she planned on settling it with him in the morning, so how the hell did she get on a ship that is on its way to Salado with strangers filled in it?
Did her husband give her out? No, that isn't possible, so what the hell happened twenty-four hours ago?
“Something on your mind?” Damien asked as he saw how confused and lost she looked.“Yes, how come I can't remember what happened twenty-four hours ago? And how did I end up on this ship? The last thing I remember was being with my husband.”“Okay, so if I get your question. You want me to reveal how I kidnapped you?” Damien asked and she nodded.“No, I won't. Why will I?”“Come on, that is the least you can do after taking me against my will, you can be jailed for this.”“I will love to see the cops try. I am not telling you anything, all you need to know is that, with time, you will remember what happened twenty-four hours ago.”“How long?”“For about a week.” “What?”“Yeah.” He replied and his phone beeped.“Ugh, I can't wait to get off the ship.” He muttered and Audrey sighed, she ran her hands through her hair.“Need something?”“No.” She replied.“Well if you do, you can ask anyone around and they will get it for you, excuse me.” He said and walked out of the room.“Oh, my God.”
“Death?” She asked and they nodded.“Can you please show me to my room?” She asked and they smiled.“Of course.” They replied and headed towards the stairs while Audery trailed behind them, they got into a room and she gasped seeing his huge and beautiful it looked.“This is my room right?” She asked and they nodded.“If you don't like it, we can... ““No, it's fine. It's perfect.” She replied and found herself smiling.‘Okay, maybe this isn't so bad after all.’ She thought and giggled.“I have some questions I would like to ask,” Audrey said to the maids and they nodded giving her a go-ahead.“Does, Damien have a family?” She asked and she noticed the change in their faces.“Hmm, ma’am you need to get ready ma’am, Mr. Robbin gave you orders and you don't want to be late.”“Sorry, did you just say Mr. Robbin?”“Yes.”“Robbin is Damien’s last name?” She asked and they nodded, she could swear the name rang a bell but she couldn't recall where she heard it.“I know that name, where the h
THE NEXT DAYAudrey heard strange sounds in her sleep and she opened her eyes, she looked around and she saw the maids cleaning her room, she sighed in relief and fell back on the bed, a maid noticed she was awake and she walked towards her.“Good morning ma’am.” She greeted and Audrey nodded in response.“Ma'am you need to get ready, Mr. Robbin is expecting you in a few minutes.” The maid said and Audrey sat up with a confused look.“Why?” “I have no idea ma’am but you have to get ready.” “Whatever.” She sighed and stood up, she walked into the bathroom and the maids trailed behind her.“Woah, where are you guys heading to?” She asked.“To bathe you, ma’am.”“Well, I believe I am not a child.” She scoffed and slammed the door in their faces, she signed and stared at herself in the mirror.“What the hell am I doing?” She muttered as she looked at the ring on her finger, she took in a deep breath and ran her hands through her hair.“Fuck, I don't want this.” She said as she started t
Audrey stood up hurriedly when she realized her minute will be up soon, she coughed and wiped her tears as she ran out of her room and down the stairs. She got outside of the house and rushed into the car, she didn't turn to look at Damien but she felt his eyes on her as she breathed heavily. “Right on time.” He muttered and the driver drove out of the compound, Audrey felt nervous and she squeezed her fingers into a fist, she breathed carefully not to try to upset him.She never knew he could act that way, he had seemed so cool and nice until that moment.“Mrs. Robbin,” Damien called and Audrey didn't give him a response, she was lost in thought.“Mrs. Robbin.” He called again but louder this time and she snapped out of her thoughts and turned to him in fear.“Ye... Yes?” She replied in fear and turned to him, he suddenly held her hand and creased it, Audrey looked at him surprised. Wasn't this the same man that pinned her to the wall and choked her? Why is he trying to calm her do
“Thank you.” Audrey said nervously as they appreciated her, she walked out of the room with Damien and she sighed in relief.“I told you not to feel intimidated.” Damien said as they headed out of the restaurant. “Am sorry, I just couldn't help it.” She replied and he didn't say another word. They both enter the car and Audrey’s stomach suddenly grumbled, Damien turned to her and she looked away embarrassed.“Are you hungry?”“No.” She lied but her stomach failed her by grumbling again.“You haven't had breakfast.” “No, it's fine.” “Well, I have other places to be and we can't wait at the restaurant, you will eat when you get home okay?”“Yeah, thank you.” She replied without turning to him, she still felt embarrassed and she felt like hiding herself far away from him. The cat suddenly stopped minutes later and she turned to Damien, they weren't home yet so why did they stop?“I am getting off here, the chauffeur will take you home.” “Where are you going?” “I have work to do.”
They got to the dining and their meals were dished already, they sat next to each other and both started eating.Audrey ate slowly as she tried not to make any mistake that can make him hurt her again. “Audrey.” Damien called and she turned to him.“Yes?” “Tell me about your ex-husband.” He said and she gulped, ex-husband? Well, she has no choice but to agree to it at this point, she doesn't remember being divorced.“Am waiting.” He added and she snapped out of her thoughts.“Oh, yeah. His name is Charles Williams and we have been married for two years.”“No kids?” He asked as he ate. Audrey froze as she remembered her not being able to give birth was one of the basic problems she had with Charles.“Oh, you are barren?” He asked and a tear rolled down her eyes.“Hmm, I... I... We both agreed not to have a child yet.” She lied and she heard him groan.“Is that why he hits you?”“He doesn't.” She lied again.“Yes he does, no man in his right senses should hit a lady.” He said and turn
Audrey paced around the room and cried, why did she have to do that? She just got herself into a huge mess.She should have just accepted the fact that she is stuck here for ninety days, why the hell did she make that phone call?The door to her room suddenly opened revealing Damien and she froze.“Yes, Mrs. Robbin? You called 911.” Damien said and walked towards her slowly.“I... I... ““Are you okay? Why are you crying?” “Am sorry.” She apologized in tears and he sighed.“You called 911, why did you call the number if you weren't in an emergency?”“I... I thought it was the cops.” She replied he moved closer to her, but she couldn't move because she was too scared to.“Why did you call the cops?” “Nothing, am sorry. Please don't hurt me.” She cried.“I won't if you give me a good reason why you called 911.”“I... I wanted to get help.”“From what?” “You kidnapped me.” She replied and Damien paused.“Well, the contract doesn't say so. We are legally married so why call the cops?”
“What?” Audrey asked confused and he rolled his eyes.“Just watch.” He said and she sighed before turning to the stage, Audrey watched with interest and wondered what was going to happen. If this man is all about having sex with her then why go through all these processes?“Get up.” He ordered and the girl did immediately, he untied her hands and she moaned, he dragged her to a pole and tied her hands to it, she winced in pain and Audrey turned to look at everyone in the room, they seemed to be enjoying the show.“Kneel.” He ordered her and she knelt immediately, he took off his jeans and Audrey looked away.“Watch it,” Damien whispered and she slowly turned back to the stage, her lips were slightly open in shock as she watched the guy force his cock into her mouth, Audrey turned away again but Damien suddenly squeezed her hand and she winced in pain. Clyde glanced at them and he noticed Damien was forcing Audrey to watch it. “I don't feel comfortable watching it.” Audrey whimpered
MANY MONTHS LATER Audrey glanced at the time repeatedly as she held Xavier in her arms, she could hear her heart thumping as she wondered where Damien might be.It was midnight already and he isn't home yet, she exhaled and she heard Xavier groan and stretch his legs showing signs he needed to be put down, she let go of him gently and placed him on the floor, he giggled and started to crawl around the room.She is not surprised he isn't asleep yet, he never falls asleep early, she glanced at his sister sleeping peacefully on the couch and exhaled.Ten months of being a mother hasn't been easy, sometimes she will feel scared, and sad to wake up the next day to deal with them and sometimes she would just feel happy and excited to wake up and take care of her children. Damien has also been a loving father, he treats Naomi like the princess that she is and treats Xavier like a prince. He loves them equally but he seems more closer to Naomi.They got married weeks later have Audrey was di
“Please step out Mr. Damien.” A nurse said but he remained on a spot, he felt his head spin and he slowly fell to the floor.“Mr. Robbin.” He heard his name being called as he slowly closed his eyes.*********HOURS LATER Damien slowly opened his eyes and looked around, his eyes landed on Chloe, Derek and Clyde and they smiled at him.He sat up immediately as he recalled what happened in the room with Audrey.“How is Audrey?” He asked as he tried to stand up from the bed but Clyde held him down.“Will you take a chill pill man? She is fine, she and her kids are asleep in the ward next to this one.” Clyde replied and Damien sighed in relief, he exhaled and ran his hands through his hair.“I am so excited, I am going to be an aunt.” Chloe giggled and Damien rolled his eyes at her.“Congrats man.” Derek said and he nodded.“Your children are so cute, you should see them, they look exactly like you, especially your daughter, she looks like your mum and Audrey.” Chloe said and Damien felt
“Mr Robbin.” Mr. Griffin called again.“Can... Can I see her?” He asked.“Yes, sure.” He replied and Derek patted Damien’s shoulder before walking away with the doctor. He got into the room Audrey was in and he saw her lying peacefully on the bed but she seemed deep asleep, the nurses in the room bowed at Damien as he walked to Audrey.“Can you wake her up?” He asked staring at her body and Dr. Griffin nodded in response. A nurse turned off the beeping machine and Damien waited patiently for her to wake up.After a few seconds, she slowly opened her eyes and Damien hurriedly held her hand and smiled at her as she looked around.“Hey.” Damien called and placed his free hand on her hair.“Is it over? Where are my babies?” She asked weakly.“Audrey, there is a slight problem.”“What? Are my babies okay?” She asked in fear and tears clouded her eyes.“Yes, they are fine. But I really need you to stop thinking about them for a second and listen to me okay?” Damien ordered her and she nod
MANY MONTHS LATERAudrey paced around in the living room as she placed her hands ok her waist, it is past midnight and Damien wasn't back from work yet. She got more worried as every minute passed without him showing up, these past few weeks he has been distant from her. He leaves early for work before she wakes up and comes back later in the night after she has fallen asleep but this night, she was determined to see him.The past few months have been great and also awkward for her, they moved back to Salado after spending a month in Los Angeles, Chloe, Clyde and Derek have always been there for her and Chloe kept doing a lot of shopping, she said she wanted the twins to have a perfect life by providing them with everything. Damien’s father has also been supportive even though he made it obvious that all he cared about were the kids.Damien has also been a great support, just that he freaks out most times he remembers he is going to be a father. He follows her to the hospital most t
Audrey sighed repeatedly as she stared at her cuffed hand, she ran her hands through her hair and slowly comfortably sat on the bed, she exhaled and closed her eyes, it's been almost an hour since he cuffed her to the bed.The door to the room opened and Damien walked, she looked at him tiredly and he walked to her, he loosen the cuffs and she exhaled. He sat next to her and tears clouded her eyes.“You missed your flight.” He said and she sniffed.“Damien, why are you doing this to me?” She asked with tears in her eyes turning to him. “I am not doing anything to you.”“You are hurting me, with... ““I am not hurting you, you are hurting yourself.” “You brought Valeria into the house and... ““I didn't do that.” He chuckled and held her hand.“You said you would pick an MILF over me because I am ugly and fat and the reason why I am this way is because I am carrying your children.” She cried and he laughed.“I didn't call you fat and ugly baby, I just said that because you were exag
Audrey whimpered as she ate her ice cream and watch television at the same time, she sniffed as the tears streams down her eyes. It was almost midnight and she has been crying all day because of Damien’s words and he wasn't even home yet. How can he say such mean words to her? He doesn't love her, they are just words. She couldn't get his last words before leaving this morning out of her head and it keeps hurting her a lot.She sniffed again as she put a scoop of ice cream in her mouth, the door to the living room suddenly opened and she turned to see Damien walking in, she hurriedly took her eyes from him and turned back to the television, she kept sniffing as she watched and hoped he walks away. Damien glanced at the time on his phone and he rolled his eyes, he walked fully into the living room and picked up the remote to the television, he switched it off and Audrey turned to him.“I was watching that.” She said and he ignored her, he took the bowl of ice cream from her and drop
“You... You love me?” Audrey stuttred and he held a handful of his hair before breathing out heavily.“Yes Audrey, I love you. I loved you right from when I started stalking you, I didn't know it was live then, I didn't even know it was love until we started to stay apart, if we really completed the contract, I wasn't willing to let you go after ninety days, I am miserable without you.” He confessed and Audrey slowly smiled, she wrapped her hands around him and hugged him tightly.“Oh, my God.” She whispered and smiled.“You really don't know how much hearing you say it means to me, you are not the kind of person to say something like this.”“Well, you forced me.” He said and Audrey laughed as she pulled away from the hug.“I love you too Damien.” She giggled and he pecked her lips. “Wow, this is amazing, I... “ Audrey trailed off as Damien suddenly took off his shirt, she looked at him surprised and couldn't take her eyes off his abs and the scars on his chest. “Hey, why did you ta
“Huh?” Damien asked.“Do you love me?” She asked again and Damien sighed.“Why do you keep asking that? You know I care about you.”“I know Damien, I just want you to tell me you love me.” She said and Damien breathed out.“You really had to ruin the moment.” He scoffed and sat up.“Damien, why can't you tell me you love me?” “Because I don't know if I do and you asking me every time isn't helping.” He replied and Audrey sighed.“I’m sorry, I’m sorry I am such a problem to you.” She said and he groaned.“No, that isn't what I meant, I... ““Can you please call Chloe in?” She asked and Damien breathed out before standing up.******TWO DAYS LATER Audrey sighed as she ate by herself in the dining, she was bored and had no one to talk to. It's been two days since she got discharged from the hospital and it has been two days since she talked to Damien. She was mad at him and he isn't making any attempts to apologize to her or get on her good side. He also stopped Chloe from coming to s
Damien paced around in the hallway as he ran his hands through his hair, everyone else was seated waiting for the doctor to come out and tell them what was wrong and also assure them that Audrey would be fine.“Damien, I think you should take a seat.” Derek suggested and he ignored him.“He is right, Damien please sit.” Chloe added and he still ignored them.After a while, the doctor walked out and Damien rushed to him.“How is she? Is she okay? And the babies?”“Hmm, she is fine for now but I am not sure her babies will be okay.” He replied.“What? Why? What happened to her?” Chloe asked moving closer to them. “She was poisoned.” “Poisoned?” Derek repeated mumbling and turned to his mother who tried to avoid his look, Mr. Robbin walked closer to them and looked at the doctor.“Are the babies going to be okay? You have to save the babies.” Mr. Robbin said.“You don't care about Audrey, do you? All you care about are the babies, you don't even care to know how she got poisoned.” Dami
