Kayla’s POV The only window in the room was opened and through the closely wielded metal bars moonlight spilled into the darkroom. I perched on the bed with my back leaned against the metal headboard, my chin resting on my folded knees as I absently fixed my gaze on the opposite wall. My mind was jumbled, over brimmed with the brief interaction I had with Nyra when she bought food to me an hour ago. There was something different about her. She acted natural when she handed me the food, and when I enquired about the incident that happened in the kitchen, she told me that she didn’t have the slightest clue to what I was talking about. I explained how Bruce choked me and that I saw her at the doorway. She instantly denied it by saying that I must have been hallucinating and if she had been there for real, she would have done something to help me. I believed her plausible explanation...until she excused herself with a forced smile. And before I could ask her if anything was wrong,
*Trigger Warning - Mention of ra*pe* Kayla's POV “What are you saying?” I gaped at her, not believing my ears. “You heard me, Kayla. It was all an act I had to put up for you. And do you know why? It’s because Bruce asked me to take good care of you” Wait…. Bruce asked her to be nice to me? “What irked me the most was how he looked at you every time. I thought he would like me more if I treated you well. But nuh-uh. He was doting on you all along”. Nyra’s voice raised a few notches as her nails pressed further into my pale skin. She was taking her anger out on me and that too on something I didn’t do. “Why do you want Bruce to like you? He’s a monster!” I countered, praying that she understands the real face of him. “He is not that bad. To me he’s the best and the most perfect master ever. He took me in from the streets and gave me everything and in return all I had to do was serve his needs. All these years he only had one slave and that was Me”. My eyes instantly flew to
I hummed a jolly tune while turning the steering wheel to the left, leading the car to a secluded location. The time was close to midnight and it provided the perfect backdrop for me to carry out the plan. “You sure you wanna do this?” Zack asked for the umpteenth time since we started the journey. He has been sweating bullets the moment we got into the car that I’m currently parking near a cemetery that has the tunnel opening which leads to Bradford’s mansion. “I’m fucking sure that I’m doing this and for God’s sake stop biting your nails” I drawled and turn to Zack who is squirming in the passenger seat. “I can’t help it OK? I’m freaking out man!!! I’ve never done this ‘on field’ thing before” He exasperated but thankfully stop chewing on his fingers. “You’ll be fine” I shook my head and reached under the seat to grab the box which had accessories and weapons. Placing it on my lap, I opened the box and took things one by one and strapped them on the belts looped around my middl
It was a girl – A blonde to be precise. She laid on the mattress like a broken angel with her hands chained to the bedpost above her head, and the metal made noise whenever she stirred. She had a bandage on her forehead, which I assumed to be a not so fatal wound. There was a cut on her lips too. I shouldn’t be affected by it at all, knowing that this was Black Skull, but something flickered inside me. A feeling I have rarely experienced before. Possessiveness. A sense of fierce possessiveness gripped my chest as my eyes feasted on her moonlit figure. She had all the feminine features that could bring any man to his knees or to her feet. Along with the strange urge to protect her, I also felt helpless. I desperately wanted to save her, but what could I do to get her out of here? The answer was simple. Nothing. If I help her now then I would be risking both of our lives and I didn’t want that. I didn’t want her to get caught in the middle of a crossfire because I found he
ALEXI With a snarl of displeasure, I launched myself at him. He appeared to be appalled for a moment when I grabbed a fistful of his shirt and slammed him against the wall. “Why don’t you do the world a favor and shoot yourself?” I roared at his face. Unlike others who pee their pants when they witness the enraged version of me, he didn’t flinch. He calmly circled his fingers around my wrists and pulled them away, freeing his clothes from my hold. “Calm down for a second” Michael said flatly and smoothed down the cringles that I had just created on his pristine white shirt. “Calm down?! Why the fuck should I calm down? You knew how much I hate talking about relationships, then why would you even mention the girl? What kind of friend are you?” I snapped, feeling smoke radiating from my ears. I was so angry that if I hadn’t remembered that he was once my best friend, he would have already had at least three broken bones in his body. “You know what Alexi? You deserved it” Micha
MIKAYLA My eyes cautiously roved over the surroundings when they ushered me into the auction house. Guards were peppered around every corner and it was impossible for anyone to trick their way out of here. I understood it well and decided to surrender my freedom and obeyed every word they said, till they took me into a room and locked me inside. The windowless room was small and empty, apart from two lazily placed chairs. Wringing my hands in nervousness, I trotted towards one of the chairs and sat on it. ************* ALEXI The bidding was scheduled to start by 9:00 PM. I arrived at the auction house half-an-hour early so that Zack could set up his devices. He drove me to the venue, pretending to be my valet. Throughout the ride we went over the plan once again and as usual, it involved him expressing deep concerns for my safety. After all, I was going directly into the hornet's nest without a sliver of protection. In addition to it I could not carry any weapon with me, as it wa
ALEXI “Can I help you?”, He raised one crooked eyebrow at me, his expression clear that he wanted to shove me out. I held up my VIP card and his eyes instantly fled to the paper. His face muscles softened when he realized why I was there for. “Sorry for holding you up, Sir. Please have the seat” he insisted and stepped aside dutifully. His tone was more welcoming this time. I trudged into the luxurious chamber, admiring the decorations. The entire setting was covered with red velvet material, including the floor that I walked on. The main attraction of the room was the huge glass window in front of a single majestic seat. The see-through glass took the place of an entire wall, and it gave me an elevated vision of the whole bidding area that was down below. The suit came with a huge white screen to the side of the glass, which I suppose would provide me a HD quality picture of the girls who would be auctioned off. Near to the seat a tab was placed on which I could type in my bid
“Enjoy your body while it’s still yours because tonight you will be bought by r*pists, and they will make sure that all of your holes are filled” the mysterious voice continued. I looked everywhere frantically for its source but except for air I found nothing. For a moment I thought the fear was making me hallucinate, but that thought vanished when I spotted a speaker on the opposite wall of the camera. “Oh, dear God….” I was right. Men were watching me. But that wasn’t the only thing that unnerved me. It was the owner of the voice. It was unmistakably Bruce. His frustration at not being able to have me was loud and clear in his brisk voice. I wanted to shout back at him to go to hell because he wasn’t physically present, but what he said was not a lie. My body will not belong to me after tonight. Maybe I had given up fighting, but I still haven’t come terms to with it. I didn’t want to be anyone’s plaything. Killing myself would be the last option, but I’m willing to make it my
I spent the rest of the day exploring the mansion with Stella who eagerly volunteered to be my tour guide. The first thing I asked her was the whereabouts of his office. She took me there but since it was empty we continued with the exploration.Our bond deepened as I shared my life’s story with her, including the things I endured when I was at Bradford’s.However, I purposefully left out the part where I ran from her brother. I didn’t want her to think that I harboured negative feelings for her family.“We have the most beautiful garden in the world.” Stella said, smiling ear to ear as she descended effortlessly through the steps and into the plush green of the garden’s moss laid ground.The garden was straight out of a fairy tale. It was unusually big, uniquely build and calming sight for the sore eyes.“Did you design this?” I asked, following her into an arch of orchids.“Yes, but most of the credits goes to Mikey” she lauded her husband. Then she smiled, lifting her long wavy skir
MIKAYLAAs I waited with baited breath a velvet voice purred in my ear,“You smell just like me, Tesoro”With a gasp I swiftly spun on the balls of my feet and lost balance. I tripped backwards but before I fell back a pair of hands looped around my waist, steadying me. My hands instantly flew to his toned chest for support.His ashened orbs bore into mine causing my heat to flutter violently. We were standing so close that I could see the dark grey freckles radiating from his pupils.Earlier when I was moping the floor on my knees in search of his key, I made a mistake of side-eyeing him and caught a glimpse of the bulge in his pants. I acted like I never saw it because I was worried that he might ask me to do something about it.I wasn’t scared of intimacy but being around him was like walking on eggshells. His imposing demeanour affected me in ways I could not control.I was getting lightheaded from the proximity when he let go of me. Miraculously my knees held it together and I rem
MIKAYLAHe left immediately after the episode.After making me crawl around like a toddler to find that stupid key and humiliating me, he departed without a word about what he intended to do with me. I was hoping to ask him for help to find my father but I doubted if he would ever allow me to even step out of his cage.When I tried a bold escape a few moments ago, I should have stopped upon realizing that none of the guards moved a muscle to stop me. They were chilling so their boss could come and swoop me up like an eagle, which was more embarrassing than I would like to admit.I rose from the carpet and nested on the bed, unsure of what to do next... until my stomach reminded me. I forgot about my hunger while he was here.What was I supposed to do? Should I sleep? Should I go down to the kitchen I search of food? Or should I go find Stella?Yup. That sounded good.I tip-toed to the door, opened it to peek outside to check if Alexi was still around. He wasn’t.I closed the door behin
ALEXIIf I was making her uncomfortable, she made no effort to hide it. The moment I occupied a spot next to her on the bed, she began scooting away. I rolled my eyes at her ridiculous act. It was not like I would eat her alive.Once she was at a ‘safe’ distance, Kayla peeked up at me from under her long lashes, as though she expected me to pounce on her any moment now.“Tell me how you ended up at Bradford’s place” I asked, ignoring the invisible wall she had erected between us. I wanted her to be comfortable with me but I didn’t know how to achieve it. She blew the only chance I gave her. But the fact that she could even assume that she would be able to escape from here on nothing but bare feet was pretty stupid in the first place.“Answer me if you want to be free; Or else we will stay locked for a week” I threatened when she remained unresponsive. Her face paled at my words.Of course I was kidding, but I knew she would take it seriously.“I-I’ll answer” came her instant reply.As
ALEXI“What are you hiding?” I narrowed my eyes at her.She blinked rapidly, caught off guard. She was playing innocent. Too bad I’m not going to fall for it.“You’re planning something in that pretty little head of yours, aren’t you?” my voice came out icy.“I’m...I’m not-” she blurted out ‘sincerely’ but the next second she flung the key right across the room. It crashed on the wall at the farthest end and dropped to the floor.Before I could guess her next move, Mikayla grabbed a pillow from the collection and chucked them at me one by one. The first one took me by surprise and smacked me square in the face but I was able to deflect the next two.“What is the matter with you?” I hollered, my tone deadly. Paying no heed to me, the girl jumped off the bed and ran straight for the door.She was escaping, not aware of the death traps that lurked on the other side. If she tries to do anything smart, my men would slaughter her even before she could lift her tongue to explain herself.“You
ALEXIHer demeanor changed quickly as she mindlessly sat up in bed. While she checked out the handcuff that dangled from my fingers, her eyes welled up with tears and spilled over her cheeks.It was just a piece of metal. What was she being so dramatic about?“Y-you are going to tie me up and t-torture the answer out of me?” her chin wobbled as she choked out.Woah! Where did she get that logic from?“No” I replied “I want you to tie me up”A shadow of confusion fell on her face, her ruby lips parting in an adorable way.“Y-You want m-me to tie you up?” she gaped in disbelief, pointing a finger at me and then back at her.“Yes” I admitted.“Umm...” she chewed her bottom lip nervously, unable to find words.“B-but why?” she implored a second later, summoning some courage.“You are scared that I might hurt you, and to reassure you that I’m not going to do that, I’ll remain in handcuffs while you answer my questions” I explained nonchalantly.Honestly, I did not care being tied up at all,
KAYLAHis beasty hands clasped around my ankles like shackles before he tugged them with brutal force.A squeal of surprise burst from my chapped lips as I landed on my back, my head missing the headboard by an inch.“No! *hiccup* d-don’t...” I kept on thrashing as my body was dragged down the mattress.“Shut Up” he growled, wrestling to keep me steady. When he found that I was not going to give up, he released my legs and crawled on top of me.“N-No...” panic seized my lungs when I saw the sheer size of the man up close. The predatory glare of his eyes would kill me before he did.I shook my head and pleaded with my tears when he confiscated my delicate arms that were battering on his broad chest.“Stop Moving” words wrapped in warning vibrated through the length of my body like thunder, rendering me immobile.Holding my gaze captive he began “I’m just trying to hel-”*SMACK*He stopped abruptly at the sound of a door burst open.“Alexi! What on Earth are you doing?” An unmistakably a
ALEXISomewhere along the ride I took off my coat and covered her. She was so tiny that the cloth consumed her body up till her knees. Though there was enough space in the car for her to lay down, I chose to keep her in my arms.I was still in disbelief that I got the girl. Finally, she was all mine.Her unnaturally beautiful caramel eyes got me thinking if she was even real. How can a girl be so alluring and eloquent all at the same time?I had a feeling that I would become a better poet than Shakespeare if I were to describe her beauty. Though her body belonged to me, her heart was still out of my reach. But I was willing to turn the world upside down to catch a glimpse of her smile that could unravel a thousand emotions in my heart.She was like a seductive siren beckoning me closer only to disappear, leaving me all alone and mad, unable to figure out where she went. I haven’t seen her smile yet but I had time. I would keep her locked in my mansion and give her everything she desire
