I woke up the next morning, and the spot Kiara slept in was now empty. I opened my eyes, sat up, and looked around the hospital room. I was alone. Where was Kiara?

She would have stayed with me, missed work, slept in an uncomfortable chair, and refused to leave my side. I knew her. So, something serious must have happened to make her leave my room. Worry spread through me as I wondered what was going on. I had to get out of this room.

I pulled the drip out of my arm, then swung my leg over the edge of the bed. Pain shot up from the wound, but I gritted my teeth and forced myself to stand up. My body broke into a sweat as the weight on my leg made the pain worse. I had on a hospital gown, which let cold air on areas that were usually covered. I had nothing else on under the gown.

I slowly made my way out of the hospital room and used the railing on the side of the wall to make my way to the visitor’s lounge.

"Sir!" A nurse gasped as she noticed me. "You should be resting." She tried to

    With Kiara, wow, we had the best intimate connection. She was the best woman I had ever slept with, and she let me try all sorts of different things. Our sex was wild. Then there was the emotional connection. Her and Lulu debated who knew me better, and even though Lulu would always be my best friend, Kiara was my best friend as well.Kiara and I could spend every day with one another and never get bored. Not to sound cheesy, but she was my soulmate; nothing could convince me otherwise. After crossing the "I love you" line, I knew I wanted to have her next to me for the rest of my life."Okay, what colour are we going for? Silver, gold, rose gold, or what about… this black one?" Lulu asked as she pointed at the platinum black engagement ring with a black diamond.We were ring shopping, and I trusted Lulu's opinion more than my own. I knew I wanted to propose to Kiara. I also knew she had just said "I love you" a few weeks ago, and I didn’t want to rush into things, but hell, I was in

    We found parking and watched the first set of cars race as we sat on the bonnet of Kiara’s car. The sound of the revving engines, the tyres drifting against the hard ground, and the crowds screaming made me feel like I was in paradise. Dust blew up and music blasted, making the women swing their hips. My heart raced as I memorised the track that the cars raced on and knew exactly how to race it.When my Dad was still alive, he took JB and me here to practise racing. JB lost interest after the first day, but I begged for him to bring me here every day; it’s where I spent most of my time after school when I stole a car good enough to drift in.Kiara yelled as the cars drove past us, and the woman in the red Volkswagen Polo won. The crowd ran to stand around her car as she climbed out."Yay, I’m so happy she won!" Kiara beamed and grabbed my hand.She then jumped off and ran over to the crowd, pulling me along. We pushed to the front, and the woman who won gave Kiara a massive hug as soo

    Kiara looked at me, and I smiled as I stepped closer to her. My hands moved over her hips and wrapped around her waist as I pulled her body onto mine."Let Kedwyn and me please you." I said softly before I closed my eyes and pressed my lips against hers.My tongue loved the mint taste of her mouth as I explored. Our tongues rubbed against each other as our saliva missed, and she sucked my bottom lip into her mouth, making a numbing pain shoot from the area. It was painful, but it turned me on even more.My dick was throbbing in my pants, eager to be let free and enter Kiara. Her hands undid the buttons of the shirt I had on and let her fingers mesmerise my chest and move down my stomach. Her nails scratched my skin and made complete desire rush through me again and again. As she moved to kiss my neck, her hand slipped into my pants. Her mouth sucked on my neck as her hand squeezed my dick and moved up and down. I opened my eyes and saw Kedwyn’s eyes fixed on her hand; he had a boner f

    The next morning, Kedwyn slipped out early to get to work. I let Kiara sleep in as I took my phone to the lounge, grabbing a pair of shorts on the way out. I had a few notifications. A good morning text from Sue, which she sends every morning; Lulu asking how last night went; and a please call me from Axel. These days, I don’t feel like I'm alone. People cared enough to message me. I no longer woke up to no notifications.I decided to call Axel first."Hey, Axel, man, it’s Jason. I saw you sent me a missed call." I said into the phone as he picked it up."Oh, hey, man." Axel laughed, then added, "How are you? Still with the sexy Kiara?""I’m good, man, honestly, I am. Things with Kiara are…" I paused to smile as I thought about last night. "Great. We're doing well, man.""That’s great news; you two are perfect for each other. Both wild and crazy.""Thanks, man. How are you?""Uh, not too bad. Things with the crew have been silent; I think after you left, it inspired everyone to try to

    The next month flew by so quickly. It was bliss being with Kiara and just falling more in love with her every day. Awkward lunches with my mother slowly started to feel more comfortable. I used up most of my savings just to give Kiara the best money could buy. We went to grand parties, fucked in luxurious hotels, and finally found the perfect ring.The band was rose gold with a cluster of three accent diamond stones. The main stone was a 4mm round cut moonstone, which looked absolutely stunning against the rose gold. It was perfect for Kiara, and I made sure to get the right size, thanks to her other ring that "went missing" for a few days.Tonight, Gregory Van Kline planned to announce his retirement at a dinner party. Kiara was going to be given her father’s company and was so excited. I was proud of her. Unlike me, she really deserved it.Gregory wanted to have an early retirement and travel the world a bit. He joked, saying he was going to find a young Asian bride and bring her ho

    "Axel, can I have a word?" I said through my teeth as I climbed out of the car."Oh, yeah, man." He nodded and climbed out as well.I walked a bit away from the van so the others couldn’t hear us and put my hand on the back of my neck."Shit." I cursed and shook my head as I looked up at the sky, which had already started to grow dark.I couldn’t miss this dinner party. It meant too much to Kiara, and I knew that if I didn’t show, it would ruin her night.Fuck. Why did I even agree to this job? I mean, yeah, I needed money, but was all this stress worth it? Making Kiara upset was definitely not worth it."I’m sorry, Jason, man. I swear this was just supposed to be a drop-off." Axel started to apologise as he reached my side."I can’t stay, man. I have to get going. Kiara is waiting for me." I sighed, and he nodded."I know, man, and I don’t expect you to stay. Go, man. We’ll be okay here." Axel smiled and touched my shoulder.I lowered my voice as I said, "I don’t trust these men, man

    "Kiara, baby, wake up. I didn’t know it was you." I touched her hair and moved her now-red hair from her face. "I won’t let anyone touch you, okay?" I said softly.Zoey and Vin stormed into the room next, with a worried Axel behind them."What the fuck is happening here?" Vin yelled with this anger I hadn’t sensed from him before."What the hell are you doing?" Joey demanded and stared at Kiara in my arms.Fuck. They wouldn’t let me leave with her, even if I told them the truth. She was just a paycheck for them. I didn’t know if they were loyal to the boss or if they would freak out and just start firing. Shit. I had to keep the truth hidden."She stopped breathing, you idiots!" I snapped and pressed my fingers against Kiara’s pulse.I could feel her strong and steady heart beat, but I needed to keep my act up."We’re fucking lucky I got her heart going again. Else we would all be hunted down and killed by the boss." I shook my head and glared at them."W-What? Why did she stop breath

    I slowed down the van and pulled onto the side of the street. The car stopped, and I looked over at Joey, pretending that the knife pressed against my neck didn’t bother me. I couldn’t let him know I was scared. Plus, I didn’t know what he knew about Kiara or if he knew Kiara and I were dating. Perhaps he was just bluffing to find out if I knew anything."Fine, yes, I know the wife is Kiara Van Kline." I said and glared at him. "Who doesn’t know her? She’s rich and incredibly beautiful, and I thought, Single." I added, which made him raise an eyebrow at me. "I live in Joburg, Joey, and I read the newspaper. Of course, I recognised her.""No, there’s something else. The way you looked at her…" Joey shook his head as he tried to find the words.The knife pressed harder against my skin, and I felt warm blood trickle down my neck."Okay, maybe I have a crush on the woman, and maybe I stalked her for a few months. What does it matter?" I asked, and Joey moved the knife away from my neck. "

    2 years later...I hadn’t spoken to Kiara since that day. I fell into this dark pit where I was so angry but couldn’t do anything about it. I kept my promise to Allan. I didn’t take revenge. I got justice.I gained proof of the warden's illegal ways and the deals he made with the inmates. I found out he arranged the hit since I was taking my time. My lawyer helped me build a case, and together we got the warden put away for the rest of his life.To be honest, it didn’t make me feel better, but I knew it was all I could do.I couldn’t face Kiara. I refused to read her letters, take her calls, or even see her when she came to visit. For a year, she kept trying, but eventually the letters stopped coming. I just needed time alone. I needed to heal, and I did. I found peace.I even had my sentence reduced. Today I was getting out.“Do you have someone coming to pick you up?” The officer asked as he checked me out at the entrance.He gave me a normal pair of clothes, my secret cell phone, a

    Allan stared back at me as his eyes darted across my face.“What does that have to do with me?” He finally asked, which made me run my hand through my hair.“I need to talk to Kiara first before I decide anything.” I shrugged and stepped closer to him. “But I do like you, Allan.” I paused and flicked my eyes down to his lips. “You’re gorgeous. I’m intrigued by you. I want to get to know you more, but I also need you to be able to defend yourself. I won't always be here to protect you.” I paused and touched the side of his face. “I don’t know if it’s just lust or if it could be something more. If you’re willing, I’d like to figure it out together.”Allan’s eyes closed for a brief second as he seeped in the warmth from my hand on his face. I watched his chest rise and fall and felt myself totally mesmerised by him. Kiara was the only other person who had that effect on me. So, for a second, I was scared. I wanted to step back and run away from him, but I knew I would always have that ‘w

    Allan took a step closer and looked down at my erection, then up at my lips, then at my eyes.“You didn’t finish.” He mumbled so seductively that it made my cheeks go red.“Oh, uh, it’s fine, man.” I said and made the mistake of flickering my eyes down to his lips, trying to get out of his gaze.Allan then closed the distance between us as he pressed his lips against mine. My body froze as his warm lips stayed on mine for a second or two before my brain kicked in and pushed him back harder than I intended. His back hit the wall as he stared back at me.“What the hell, man?” I hissed as I pushed away from the bed and stepped closer to him. “Are you gay or something?” I demanded and grabbed a hand full of his shirt."Y-yeah, I am.” He stuttered as he looked up at me, frowning. “I just thought I could help you get rid of that erection.”Shit, I don’t know if it was the way he sounded so innocent or the way I hated seeing him frown. This irresistible urge to kiss him flooded my thoughts.

    I grunted as I turned around and slid back onto the bottom bunk of the bed. Allan wasn’t my problem. He needed to stand up for himself.Nothing else was said that night. Allan climbed onto the top bunk and, after a while, softly let the tears fall. He thought I was asleep and did it so quietly that no one else would hear. That was the first secret of his I kept.***Weeks turned into months, and I barely spoke to Allan. He stopped sitting at my table, only said a word or two to me in the cell, and was rejected by all the gangs that he started spending a lot of time with the ladies. It made things worse for him. Inmates picked on him for being a bitch and humiliated him whenever the opportunity rose.The kid just took it. It was like he thought he deserved to be beaten up. I tried so hard not to care and just let him be, but shit, a piece of my heart went out to the kid. I couldn’t watch it, so every time I just walked away, I saw the aftermath later on when Allan turned in for lights

    The cafeteria was like a stereotypical jail-style cafeteria. Officers stood around while the inmates on kitchen duty served the rest of us on a plastic plate. It smelled of dirty cooking oil and rotting food that was stuck between the planks of the tables. Whoever was on cleaning duty never cared enough to clean properly, but heck, we were in jail. No one puts in that much effort. Everything was given the bare minimum.Klip and I grabbed our plates and stood in line, a spoonful of what looked like vomit piling onto the plate. Boiled cabbage stew first, then rice on top. I glared at the inmate serving me, and he quickly stood up straight and apologised. Fuck, who added rice last, this fucking idiot? I rolled my eyes and walked over to the table closest to the door."Uh, Jay isn’t this…" Klip asked behind me but decided to rather shut up as I sat down.He hesitated but sat down next to me as well. I mixed the rice and stew together, then glanced up as footsteps approached. Donnie stoppe

    The first few months in jail were the worst. The inmates tested me. I was beat up; I beat some of them up... I had to prove myself and show how tough I could be. Eventually, I knocked out enough inmates to make the others back off and stop messing with me.I had so much time to just think about everything and sort out my mind. I started reading, working out, and even got a tattoo of Kiara’s name on my chest. I quickly had to learn how to bargain and do certain favours for the wardens and powerful inmates. There were a bunch of gangs formed in the jail, and all of them tried to win me over, but I refused all of their offers and kept to myself. I made sure I was respected by everyone and even made friends with the officers. I liked being the middle man.For two years, I had my own cell and was mostly left alone to do my own thing. From all the working out, I had muscles and grew super strong. I looked great and was no longer that skinny, awkward man that Kiara fell in love with. Heck,

    3 days later..."Jason, you have been linked to multiple thefts and charged with possession of an illegal firearm. Not to mention that the judge still needs to decide if killing Ricardo was self-defense. We're looking at multiple life charges already." The lawyer sighed and shook his head before he added, "I suggest you agree to plead guilty." I looked away from him and out the window, where I saw Kiara impatiently waiting on the engine of her car. I had been held at the local police station since the whole Ricardo shooting incident. 3 days and 2 nights without sex. Shit. Kiara would come visit every day and demand that I be released. She caused such a commotion that she was not banned from entering the station while I was being held. I could have left... I was offered bail until the court date, but I refused to let Sue, JB, or even Kiara pay it. Maybe I wanted to punish myself for all the crimes I committed. The real punishment wasn't sleeping on a bench or staying in a cell; it wa

    I felt my feet hit the hard dirt and could hear the other two vehicles speeding towards us. My neck hurt, and my head was pounding. I tried my best to walk forward, but I stumbled, which made Kiara wrap her arms around my waist to help support me."Come on, baby." Kiara said as we started to walk away from the crash. "I don't know where we're going, but I know we just need to keep moving." "Wait, wait." I stopped her and looked back at the crush. "My gun is under the seat. I need to get it." "I'll get it; stay here." Kiara demanded and left me to run back to the van. I bent down and put my hands on my knees, which helped stop my head from spinning. Soon Kiara was back and handed me the gun, which I slipped into my pocket. "Okay, let's go." I grabbed Kiara's hand, and we started jogging off.I kept looking back as the car stopped and the boss and his men ran after us on foot, as there were many large boulders and trees, which meant they couldn't take the vehicles. It was also getti

    The sky was lit with colours of pink, red and orange. A soft breeze blew and stirred up dust into the air. The land was filled with small shrubs, cacti, dry grass and sand. It was like everything around us went in slow motion. I had time to describe every detail of Axels face, and how his body hit the ground. He landed face first with his eyes still open while his blood seeped into the sand. His arms were at his side and his knees bent to the side. He didn't breathe, he didn't blink, he didn't move. Even when Kiara screamed his name and wind flew dust towards us. He wasn't bothered. He just lay there.Then suddenly everything went back to normal speed as another shot went off and hit one tire of the van, making it sink down to the rim. My body jerked into motion as I grabbed Kiara and pulled her behind the side of the van, incase the sniper tried to shoot us. "Stay here, Kiara!" I yelled and looked from her tearing eyes to peek around the door to see where the sniper shot from."
