Stanley stared at Lana in shock as he had never witnessed anything of the sort before.The man who presented Lana before the crowd said, "fresh out of the oven, an angel to fulfill your wildest fantasies. She is only eighteen, still a virgin, and is bound to keep your bed warm no matter how cold the nights get.Also, she is extremely beautiful, sexy, obedient, and eager to please. The starting bid for her is fifty million dollars."Most of the men gasped in surprise. The amount she was going for was quite expensive, however, she seemed to be worth it since only one look at her was enough to make them horny.Turning to his friend who couldn't seem to take his eyes off Lana, Stanley said, "This is certainly illegal, I think we should call the police."His friend stared at him in surprise, "come on Stanley, I know it's your first time here but you can't tell me that you don't know how the black market works."This market is unregulated and yes so many illegal activities are carried out he
After hearing that Lana had been sold to him, Stanley felt relieved. However, he did not know what to do with her.His friend began to tease him, "I never knew that you were interested in girls as young as her. I thought you preferred older women and I doubt that your fiancee, Savy would approve of you seeing someone else by the side."Stanley looked at his friend as his brows furrowed in anger, "what nonsense are you talking about? Watch your mouth, Terry, I don't like jokes like that."Terry threw his head back and laughed, "stop being so serious all the time. Can't you take a joke? Seriously, just relax."Stanley watched as the cage was being rolled away and said, "my wedding is just three weeks away and I'm a businessman. I think I can find a use for her or better yet, return her to wherever she was taken from. That's if it's safe."Terry shook his head, "you are a good man Stan. The girl in that cage is sure lucky that you showed up at the market today."Stanley waited for the ne
Stanley stared at Lana in surprise. She was now crying and trying so hard to control her emotions.He pulled over by the side of the road, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and gave it to her.Lana took it from him and muffled a "thank you, sir," before using it to wipe her eyes."It's okay Lana, don't cry anymore. I can assure you that you are safe now and you can stay in my house and work as a maid until when you are ready to leave.Take note, I don't like liars and I don't like thieves. I also don't like being disobeyed. You can take me as your guardian and I will treat you well. I will protect you and keep you safe while you are under my roof.I will take the risk of trusting you Lana and someday you can go to school if you wish to. I hope you do not break my trust and make me regret ever helping you"Lana shook her head, "I won't do anything like that, I promise. Thank you very much, sir.""You're welcome," Stanley replied before starting his car again and continuing his j
Stanley stared at Savy in surprise, "what nonsense are you talking about?" "I know what I am saying Stanley," she replied. "You are someone who doesn't even speak to other girls and suddenly you bring a young and beautiful girl into our home and claim she is your maid.Is it because she is younger than me? Do you consider me old or have you gotten tired of me?"Stanley stared at Savy with a helpless expression on his face and sighed, "my heart moved me to help her because she was forcefully taken to the black market and auctioned off. I couldn't turn a blind eye and let those old disgusting men get their hands on her. I was just being a good human so please don't insult me.And why would you think I am tired of you? For me, you are the most beautiful and you are not old.Don't worry about things that don't make sense, okay."Stanley saw that Savy had calmed down and moved much closer to her. He cupped her cheeks and said, "I love you and in a short while I am going to make you Mrs.
Gerald began to tear off Lana's clothes. She wore a peach-colored gown that Stanley had gotten for her the day before.Gerald tore off the top of her gown, revealing her white bra top which she wore inside.Lana bit his hand and when he took it off her mouth, she screamed again and began to cry. He held the lower part of her gown and was about to tear it apart when someone pulled him from behind.He turned and was shocked to see Stanley who usually came back very late from work. Stanley punched him hard in the face, causing Gerald to stagger backward.Before he could find his balance, Stanley pulled him by his shirt and punched him again. He punched him the third time and Gerald fell on his back.Savy ran into the room and tried to control Stanley who was livid at this point. She stared at Lana who had retreated to a corner of the bed. She had curled herself into a ball and was shaking and crying, her gown was torn and her hair was disheveled. As she saw Gerald on the floor with blo
Lana's heart was beating heavily and her forehead was covered in sweat. She decided to run to her room but her foot accidentally struck one of the flower pots beside Savy's room door.Savy quickly left her bed and ran out of the room to see who the intruder was. She saw Lana run into her room and closed the door.She stared at Gerald and said, "I think Lana must have caught us. I'm scared of what she would tell Stanley."Gerald pulled her back to the bed and said, "let's finish what we were doing as I'm yet to find my release. As for Lana, I will tell you what to do. It's not a problem."Savy went back to the bed and they continued having sex while Lana sat inside her room in a daze. She still could not believe what she had discovered.Stanley was such a good and faithful man and he loved Savy so much. How could she bear to betray him in such a way? She understood that Gerald was handsome but he was good for nothing and couldn't be compared to Stanley. How could Savy choose him?She h
Lana sighed, "sir, right now, Miss Savy and Mr. Gerald are in your bedroom and they are....they are both....naked."Stanley stared at Lana and chuckled, "are you sure that's what you wanted to tell me?"Lana crossed her fingers as she feared that Stanley would call her a liar and drive off. Stanley saw that Lana was not smiling and suddenly realized that she could be telling the truth.He got down from his car and said, "wait here," before walking towards the house.As he walked into the house, he hoped that Lana was mistaken. Savy was someone he loved so much and he had done so much for her.When he found her almost two years ago, she had lost her only sister and mother in an accident. He had almost run her over.She was crossing the road, lifelessly and wasn't aware of her surroundings. When he took her to the hospital, he learned that she had lost everyone in her life and was suffering from depression.He became her friend, her shoulder to lean on, and everything else.Because of ho
Stanley drove his car to a park and sat inside it watching the people who were coming out and going in. He thought back to the times he had brought Savy to the park when she was still suffering from depression. Everyone around him had betrayed him, including Lana whom he expected would be loyal to him after everything he had done for her.If he had gone ahead and traveled, Lana would have kept silent and he would have ended up marrying Savy, that bitch. What did she see in his brother?What did Gerald give to her that he did not? Was it because Gerald was younger? She preferred a younger jobless loafer to him who was ready to place the world at her feet?Stanley thought back to all the times he had traveled and left the both of them at home. Sometimes he would travel for days and there were times when he traveled for a week.He always felt worried that Savy was lonely in his absence but now he realized that he was a complete joke in their eyes. How they would have laughed at him each
The next morning, Stanley drove Lana and their baby girl to the hospital while the two bodyguards drove in a separate car behind them.After dropping them off at the hospital, Stanley left while Lana went in to see the doctor. After the doctor attended to the baby, a nurse took over, according to the doctors' orders, and at that moment, Lana received a call. When Lana answered the call which was from a strange number, the person on the other end told her that her husband had been in a ghastly motor accident. She covered her mouth, trying to stifle the scream that threatened to come out. She rushed out of the room, not wanting to disturb her daughter, "What happened to him? Where? When? How? This must be Gerald's doing. Oh no, Stanley."She ran outside to meet her bodyguards and said amidst tears, "Stanley has been in an accident. Please, one of you should rush to him. Go and help him. I can't go because of my baby." They both nodded, and one of the bodyguards ran out of the hospit
A few months passed, and in the blink of an eye, Stanley and Lana's baby got to more than nine months and became healthy enough to be carried. On the day they went to take her back home from the hospital, Lana was all smiles and extremely happy. Stanley had given her the utmost love and care, neglecting his work and being by her side all through.The therapist was also very patient with her and soon enough, Lana's condition improved and she became conscious of everything that had been happening.Seeing how much Luna improved made Stanley extremely grateful and joyful. The doctor who had been coming to talk to her had told Stanley that her Job had been done.Lana held her baby for a long time after receiving him from the doctor, before finally giving her to Stanley who gave way to tears after holding the little girl.When they got back home, their life returned to normal as Stanley was able to resume going to work. Savy hadn't been caught as she seemed to have suddenly disappeared wit
Stanley stayed with Lana in her room, cleaning her body and caring for her. Later in the day, the nurse came, saying she wanted to clean Lana's body, but Stanley said he had already done so. He remained by Lana's side, not wanting to leave, and so the nurse had to leave. He stayed by her side even in the evening, telling Lana bedtime stories, even though she was unconscious. When it was midnight, the nurse came and knocked on the door, saying she wanted to give an injection to Lana.Stanley said, "Let me see it."She gave it to Stanley, and he inspected the injection. "Is there any problem, sir?" she asked.He shook his head, "No, it's just that my wife has been through so much, so I'm just being extra careful."The nurse began to explain that the injection was to help her with the trauma and everything, so she'd get better.Stanley said, "As for the trauma, I've arranged for someone to come and talk to her—a shrink who will provide the best therapy. But go ahead with the injection
Savy got dressed, packed her hair which she had dyed to look like a blonde, and applied makeup to her face, making her look different. Afterward, she left her house and went to the hospital. As she arrived at the entrance, she said to herself, "Lana, I will just send you to hell with your son."When she reached the hospital, she watched from a distance, just as the nurse had told her, and noticed the two bodyguards standing at the entrance. She smiled, "I know how to get through all of you." She went to the nurse who was waiting for her in a different room and changed into the outfit worn by nurses before covering her face with a mask, completely disguising her appearance.She had been told that Daniel was inside the room with Lana by the nurse working with her so she kept waiting. When one of Stanley's called, he finally left the room and Savy was quickly informed by the nurse.She left her place of hiding and went to Lana's room. However, when she approached the door, the two bod
Stanley rushed Lana into the hospital, and the doctors quickly attended to her. The bleeding was stopped, and they were informed that they had lost one of the babies. Because of the force used when Lana fell, she went into premature delivery and gave birth to her babies at seven months. However, one of the children, her daughter, died, leaving only the son. He was put in an incubator while Lana remained unconscious.Stanley sat by her bedside, staring at her, filled with so much anger. When he couldn't take it anymore, he got up and called the police commissioner who was his friend, "I want Gerald arrested and locked up for the rest of his life, no matter what it takes.""Isn't Gerald your brother?" the commissioner asked Stanley."It doesn't matter," Stanley replied. "He has killed one of my babies, and my wife is fighting for her life. This is not a matter of hearsay. I saw him. He made an attempt on our lives, and this is not the first time.""Okay, whatever you want will be done,
The bodyguards Stanley hired finally arrived at their new house, and Stanley gave them a room in the compound so Lana could always feel safe. He had spent so much money moving them all the way from Paris to a different place because Lana was more comfortable with them, and he knew that they were trustworthy. When Lana saw them, she felt very happy and told Stanley, "I feel so much at ease now.""I know," Stanley said, "with them looking out for you or both of us, you do not have to worry about Gerald, okay? As for your family, I know I promised you that we're going to see all of them. Do not worry, I have not forgotten. You know your pregnancy is a high-risk pregnancy, so I do not want us to start traveling around in your condition. Once you have given birth, we'll go ahead.""It's okay," Lana said. "I'm not really in a hurry, okay? I trust you and know you will keep your word. As long as it eventually happens, even if it's not right now or this year, it's still fine by me.Thank you
Stanley walked towards the car to take out Lana since Gerald and his lawyer had agreed that everything was in order. When he got to the car, he saw that she was asleep. He placed a hand on her shoulder to shake her, but he realized she was unconscious. He turned to ask Gerald what had happened, but at that moment, they were driving out. Gerald had gotten into the car of the lawyer, and they drove away, leaving his car behind. Stanley stared at Gerald and checked Lana's pulse, realizing she was still alive. He carried her out of the car, put her in his car, and drove her to the hospital. On the way, he kept thinking of what Gerald had done and said to himself, "If anything happens to Lana, I'm going to kill you, Gerald."When he arrived at the hospital, he told the doctor that she had been fed something dangerous, which was why she lost consciousness. He also informed the doctor that she was pregnant. The doctor carried out a few tests on her and said that she was fine. She was gi
Gerald paced up and down the room, while Lana stared at him, hoping desperately that Stanley would call. She remembered everything Stanley had said; that he loved her and he was going to take care of her. However, she was afraid. Yes, Gerald said Stanley had regained his memory, but she didn't know what state he was in. What if he didn't care about her anymore? What if he didn't want the children in her womb? What would happen to her? Gerald would sell her off, and she was sure that her children would be sold off as well when she eventually gave birth.No, she would rather die than let that happen. After waiting for a while without getting Stanley's call, Gerald decided to take the initiative. He dialed Stanley's number, and the latter immediately picked up."Wow, I am impressed. It seems you were really expecting my call," Gerald said."Gerald, I'm currently on my way to your house," Stanley replied.Gerald laughed, "But you won't find me there. I already moved. Listen, Stanley, I'
Savy walked into the church, holding her bouquet in her hand. Stanley was initially staring at her with a smile on his face, but then the smile disappeared as he suddenly began to have flashes of his past. He recalled when he stood at the altar with Lana, he remembered when they said their vows to each other. He tried to shake off the memory from his mind as he knew that his wedding to Lana was all a farce, but then he began to remember other things as well.He remembered his moments with Lana in Paris, the time they had spent together in the bathroom, on his bed, and how he had told Lana that he loved her. His eyes widened in surprise as he also recalled how he had walked into his bedroom and seen Savy and Gerald naked on his bed. Remembering that Terry had come to his house to warn him, and even the doctor had tried to warn him, but he refused to listen. His hands began to shiver, and he began to lose his cool. There were a few of his employees there, about seven of them. He tri
