Richard glanced around tentatively, taking in the details of the environment and wondering why Mike had suggested such a place to him.It was noisy, extremely uncomfortable, and full of various whores who didn’t take a second to showcase who they were.“What is this?” Richard said under his breath as he shook his head and made to leave.“Don’t go!” He heard a voice just behind him, after which someone grabbed him on the wrist and led him to the midst of the crowd.Richard made to resist at first, but the grip on his wrist was so firm and rather than creating a scene, he decided to stay mute and play along.They arrived at the front of a bar and that was when Richard realized that it was a lady. She was dark and gorgeous, with long hairs and a glittering skin.“Hey handsome! I’m sure you came here for a drink”, she winked at him and gestured on the waiter.Richard was speechless for a moment, but after a while he braced up and decided to speak.“I came here for a drink, but this place
“Kelly’s hangout”, Emily said to the cab driver, who nodded his head in affirmation.“This is the place”, he replied, darting his eyes to a small house with a tiny door that stood as the entrance.“Thank you”.“You are going in there alone?” The cab driver’s voice pierced through Emily’s thoughts and abruptly, she turned a sharp gaze at him.“Is there a problem?” She asked.Her heart was beating frantically and beads of sweats were beginning to form on her forehead.Emily had never really been to places like that, and getting such a comment from someone only made her realize that she might be in for trouble.“Well, it’s nothing!” The cab driver chuckled and revved up the car engine.“Wait! Tell me. What is the problem?” Emily asked, panting heavily and trying to catch her breath.“Well, it’s a pretty bad place, especially at such an hour”, the cab driver chimed out and zoomed off.Emily stood still for a moment, with her body shaking fervently and her mind becoming scared of what may
The loud sound of music filled the air as people continued dancing in elation. It looked like a new world to Emily, especially because she had never been to such an environment.“Hey, beautiful!” A man whispered in her ears and immediately, she shuddered in fear.She pushed him aside and hurriedly made her way out of the crowd who were busy on the dance floor.Her body kept shaking fervently, and each minute someone brushed past her, she felt as though she were at the verge of puking.They smelt like alcohol and smoke, and those were two different things she didn’t really fancy.Just then, she caught sight of two men who were clad in heavy black coats. They had dark sunshades on, and they held a bag that concealed whatever it was that laid inside.Emily squinted her eyes as she trailed them moving up the stairs and, finally, disappearing from the crowd.She picked up great interest in them and without waiting another minute, she stood to her feet and made her way towards them.“You ca
“Get ready to take a picture of him”, Emily heard a tiny feminine voice say from one of the rooms.She leaned closer until her ear was placed on the door.“You have to do this perfectly. We want him to plead with us and then, settle this with a large amount of money. We would be rich!” The voice said again and got accompanied by loud laughter coming from two other different voices.“Who are those?” Emily asked quietly, trying so hard to make a decision of barging into the room or searching for Richard in some other place.She was about to take a step away from the door when she slipped and fell directly on the door. The noise got to the people inside and abruptly, the door creaked open.“Oh my God!” Emily gasped as he eyes caught sight of what was going on in the room.A man laid on the bed, looking lifeless or knocked out. And then, the lady was naked, sitting on top of him.Emily quickly darted her eyes to the left side of the room, and that was when she saw a camera that was there
“She was just loitering around the hallway. She requested for direction and I gave her just that. It surprised me when she jumped into the room with talks of being drunk”, the man who had talked to Emily at the door explained to the impatient woman that remained on the bed.“Maybe, we would have second meat for tonight. Tie her up and give her something to drink. She should join in the plan”, the woman ordered and abruptly, Emily lifted her head with a panicked gaze.Her throat tightened when she glanced over at the bed and found Richard laying still, fast asleep.His clothed had been ripped off his body and all that remained was his small underwear which didn’t conceal most of his body.“Oh my God!” Emily gasped in shock as her body started beating out of her chest.She always heard stories of how people planned to trap rich billionaire’s. Most times, she shoved them aside as mere fake stories.However, it was happening before her, and it was surreal.“What are you waiting for? Go ge
“Drink this!” The man said again with a cold snort, passing the cup across to Emily, who looked at it as though it were poison.“I drank a lot already. I doubt that I have space in my stomach”, Emily said and chuckled.She was extremely nervous, but she thought that lighting up the atmosphere with a joke would make them relax.They didn’t budge, neither was there a glimpse of smile nor softness in their eyes.They only exchanged glances with each other, after which the woman nodded her head once.Emily could sense a bigger trouble coming, and she was right because the next minute, the man with the cup was taking closer steps towards her.She moved backwards until her body hit the wall. There was no way out and she knew it.The man held her head and struggled to open up her mouth, but Emily resisted.She pushed the man away with every strength she had, but that didn’t seem to work because he was stronger than she was.“Fine! I would take this”, Emily resigned and collected the cup from
“Please, don’t do this. He is a normal man, and he has a wife and a reputation”, Emily pleaded amidst tears.They stared at each other, after which they shook their head in disappointment.“Force that drink down her throat immediately!” The woman screamed on top of her voice, after which the men descended towards Emily.They pinned her to the wall and held her head firmly. She cried and resisted, but she was too weak because it didn’t take time for them to pour some drink into her mouth.She held it in her mouth, not willing to take down any bit of it.“How about holding her on the neck until she gulps it down?” One of the men suggested, and the other quickly accepted.Emily kept wriggling until a thought popped into her head.She spat out the drink, and it landed right on their faces. Just as they retreated and grimaced in pain, she stood up in her feet and hurriedly glanced around the room.The first thing that caught her attention was the camera they made use of in filming the vid
“Would you strip or not?” The woman asked with an arrogant grin, but Emily didn’t bat even an eyelid.“Good. Bring the gun”, the woman ordered as she walked around the room in circles.She had no other time to waste tonight. There was a big means for her to make money, and she wasn’t going to let it slid away from her.The gun was brought to her almost immediately, and the moment she cocked it, Emily raised her head abruptly.“Please”, Emily pleaded again, but kept quiet when she realized that her pleas fell on deaf ears.“You shouldn’t have been here to save your boss. You only complicated things for yourself”, she said to Emily and pointed the gun to her head.Emily took in a deep breath and allowed her tears to flow out of her eyes without any restraints.“Fine! I would remove it”, Emily surrendered and stood to her feet.She took off her dress and as she stood naked, the woman’s eyes glittered in admiration.Emily felt worse because the eyes of two other strange men were on her as
It was a perfect day for a wedding. The sun peeked brightly as though it were also excited for what was about to happen.Emily walked down the aisle, with the bouquet in her hands and a wide smile on her lips. Her hair was arranged in an elaborate style on top of her head, and her white glittery ball room dress swished almost silently on the carpet aisle. A song rang through her mind relating to love and the aisle. If you go down the aisle when you’re in love, you would be happy forever!She caught sight of Mike’s daughter who was the little bride of the day. The little girl sprinkled pink petals on the aisle just as she walked on it. It was a big wedding and since Richard had influence in the country, it wasn’t surprising that many reporters had come to cover the event. The aisle suddenly looked long and Emily only prayed that her feet would not give her away. Her legs were shaking fervently and her eyes were lowered to the ground.She was nervous, anxious and excited. She looked u
Emily could smell her wedding in the air. Everywhere buzzed with activities and each day, she had different planners who came to fill her in on how her day was going to look like.She was now back at Richard’s apartment and she was going to be living with him until they got done with everything.“Today, you would be going to test your gown and choose your preference”, a lady who was in charge of the dress for the wedding said to Emily who clearly looked tired and exhausted. She was yet to really believe that she was getting married to Richard after everything. Somehow, it felt like a dream and she thought she would only wake up and see it’s not reality.However, as the days went by, she kept on realizing that this was happening and she would soon become his life and partner for life.The public on their part detested Barbara after what happened and Barbara disappeared into thin air. Probably with her lover who she claimed to be in love with. Now, Emily could feel that there wasn’t go
- Months later- The air was stale with the smell of a new sunny day. Gentle droplets caressed the outsides of Richard's window pan. He took no notice of the fineness of the weather or the aesthetics a sunny day provided. All he got his attention fixed on was the ads the newspaper on his hands provided. He was that kind of guy. The one who would focus his attention while on something and damned everything else, and because of this little personality trait, he was capable of loving immensely. He loved Emily so much, and his attention was something always focused on her welfare. Even the ads on the newspaper had something that reminded him of Emily. As Richard sat with his legs crossed and hidden underneath his dinning table and his reading glasses gracing his beautiful beads of eyes, lady in an Apron walked into the dinning room with a tray in her hand and a pretty smile on her face. Immediately Richard's eyes fell on her, he smiled brightly, folded the newspaper and sat upright. He t
Emily was clad in a tight fitted red gown, with her hair packed to a ponytail, and a red lipstick on her lips. She walked into the location where the meeting was scheduled to hold, with her baby in her arms and a little bag on the other hand.She met Richard, already sitting comfortably and deep down, she couldn’t help but wonder why he had come so early.“I’m here!” Emily announced as she finally took her seat, smiling widely at the lawyer who was already sitting.He was a young fine man and for some reasons, Richard felt jealous.“We are waiting for Barbara and her lawyer!” Emily said and smiled at her lawyer.“You look dashing, I know it’s not ethical to compliment my client, but I couldn’t remain mute!” The young man said and Emily blushed again.Richard suddenly slammed his fist on the table, pulling the attention of both the young lawyer and Emily.“Hello Mr Richard!” Emily said in an official manner, as though she had no idea of who he was.Richard wore a quick frown “Can we s
“I would miss you baby boy!” The nanny said as she played with the baby who giggled in excitement. Emily thanked her for being there after which she appreciated her with some money.She had just reached the living room when she heard another footstep behind her. She decided to keep her face front, since she was not ready to meet Richard.“Would you leave without saying a word to me?” Richard asked, but Emily ignored him and walked towards the door instead. Richard was shocked that he ran across to her and grabbed her wrist.“Emily!” He called out and reluctantly, she turned her head, with a stone cold expression.“I have no business with you, Richard! I came for my son”, Emily said as she gritted her teeth in rage. She recalled how Richard had yelled at her and how he never believed that she was not the one at fault. This caused her heart to break to a thousand pieces.“Why? You want to go ahead and live with Brian? Are you that worthless and…”, Richard was saying when a deafening s
Emily picked out her phone and took pictures of Barbara and Brian. She couldn’t help her feelings and in a split second, she broke into a loud laughter. Brian glared at her furiously, but she quickly apologized and asked him to proceed with the act. Emily could not just believe that Barbara was the one laying on the bed, lifeless and unable to react or stand against what was being done against her.“Ride her! Create that illusion that you are riding her. I want the world to see this and believe every bit of it”, she said aloud and Brian continued the fake ride on Barbara.When Emily was satisfied with the number of pictures she had taken, she gestured for Brian to get down and put on his clothes.Together, they watched the pictures and videos and somehow, Brian felt glad that his facial features was not in view. It was only that of Barbara that was clear and bright.“She would beg me to throw this aside and I would remind her of how she took my child away from me and went out to tell
Richard was staring into his phone and gazing at a picture he took with Emily and the baby the day they visited the park.Just then, Barbara walked into the living room and caught sight of it. She felt a wave of jealousy flush through her, but she shrugged and started laughing instead.“This is so pathetic! You lost your goddess!” She said and continued with the laughter.Richard only gazed at her and kept mute. Barbara was clad in a very short gown, which almost revealed the type of pant she had under. That disgusted Richard, but he decided to keep mute about it since she was no more his wife.“When are you going to sign those papers?” Richard asked Barbara who was walking out of the house.“Right after I have some fun time with my lover!” She said and licked her lips seductively.“Do you know who my lover is?” She asked Richard who didn’t appear bothered at all.“You would get mad if you know him! Have a nice lonely day!” Barbara said and dashed out of the house.Richard sighed deep
Barbara laid on her bed as she thought of how she had warned Emily to stay out of her paths. She felt fulfilled because she could swear that she destroyed Emily.Just then, her mind went to Richard and somehow, her heart skipped a beat. She knew that the marriage would eventually come to an end, but she didn’t expect it to be so fast.She wasn’t ready to sign the divorce papers, at least, not yet…The loud sound of her phone distracted her from her thoughts and immediately, she picked it up with hopes that it would be from a company. Ever since her marital scandal erupted, Barbara had lost countless jobs and contracts.Most of them told her that they weren’t willing to work with someone who had a history of some sensitive situation like marriage issues since it won’t speak well for their brand.“This is Barbara, do you have a job for me?” She asked with a wide smile on her lips, hoping that she would get a positive answer from the other end.“This is Brian!” His voice boomed from the
“You would have to help me if you want me to believe all what you have just said”, Emily announced, while Brian stared at her with keen interest. Of course, he wanted her to believe him because he wasn’t ready to throw their friendship down the drain.“I’m willing to do anything, as long as it makes you to believe me!” Brian said defiantly, while Emily kissed her teeth and walked around the room thoughtfully.“Well! It’s not as easy as it sounds. But then, I’m glad that you are ready to do this”, Emily responded and finally sat down on the bed.“I’m ready to do this as long as it helps you, and also, if it’s going to go a long way in punishing Barbara!” Brian said defiantly while Emily gestured for him to sit down on a couch which was directly opposite her.“If it works well, I would have my son back! And her secret would be out in the public, too. I mean, that is just all what I want. Barbara caused me so much pain already, and I’m not going to let it slide!” Emily said defiantly.Br
