LAYLA
May 16th 2018
I unscrew the cap from the bottle of Jack Daniels in my grasp, taking a massive swig from the bottle, and I hiss as the burning sensation slowly travels through my system, heating me from within.
"I'm sorry, baby," I apologise to my husband as I empty the contents of the bottle over his grave.
I came here today to confess my sins, ask for forgiveness and say my farewells. Even though I know I am not worthy of such a gift, it will not deter me from doing or saying what I feel is right.
"I wish I had listened to you; I should have recognised the warning signs and shielded you from Jimmy, he always made you do unthinkable things." My voice cracks and I swallow back the lump that has formed in the back of my throat.
"I loved you with everything I had; I thought we'd die together in old age, but not like this." I scoff. "My heart and soul died the day you died, and every day since, I've wanted nothing more
LAYLAMay 16th 2018I inhale deeply as I open the police station's door and approach the front desk with shaking limbs and a beating heart."Hello," I say quietly as my voice comes out in a hushed tone. "Excuse me," I remark a bit too loudly, and the cop behind the computer raises his eyes to mine with a dissatisfied grimace.He moans as he strains to exit his seat, taking off his spectacles, and as he approaches me, he picks up his paper cup and takes a big gulp from it."Well?" He replies, squeezing the paper cup in his palm and peering at me with his stormy grey eyes."Very intimidating," I remark sarcastically. "May I speak with the head of the homicide department?" I request emphatically.The officer replaces his spectacles on his face as he moves the mouse across the computer screen, his face carved with a deep scowl."That is Detective Evie; she has stepped out for a moment, but if you wish to-""I'm
CADDIEMay 16th 2018I swaddle Jaxson with his plush bath towel. My body continues to ache throughout, and I am becoming increasingly concerned about Mal. It has now been two days since she returned home, and I have a hunch as to her whereabouts.I am aware she is with Amar because Chad called and informed me of the incident at the club, but I refused to think Amar would take her captive against her will. Even if he does manage to twist some ropes and marry Mal behind her back.However, there is so much about Chad's side of the tale that does not add up.I finish changing a disgruntled Jaxson and patiently await the arrival of my grandmother. I have asked her to come and watch over my little prince so I can follow my intuition and pay a visit to the one person who has actually looked out for me when it comes to Ace.~An hour Later~I drape my faux fur coat over my shoulders, cramming my pockets
CADDIEMay 16th 2018"What are you doing here woman?" He questions in a rich velvety tone drenched in his thick Greek accent.My entire body is a tingling mess and I doubt I will ever get tired of staring at his beautiful face.His sun-kissed skin is a dream come true for all pale women, like me.He has a crew-cut hairstyle that accentuates the scar that extends from the shell of his ear to the nape of his neck.He has gorgeous almond-shaped eyes that captivate me as his luscious lips curve upward into a jaw-dropping smirk. I quickly realise he is fully aware that he is sexually affecting me.And to be honest, I couldn't give a rats ass."Thisavrós!" (Treasure!) He snaps.I shake the fog of eye-fucking him from my head and I clear my throat as I step towards him."I came here to see, Mal. I'm worried about her, Vanko." Distress laces my words. "Please, I just want to see how she is. You don't ha
MALAYINA. May 17th 2018 "Go ahead, baby girl, scream for me." He utters excitedly in my ear. My cries for help are muffled by his stubby fat hands. Fear, which adheres to my body like a second layer of skin consumes me. It paralyses me into a motionless vessel. "You are now mine. That sweet little cunt belongs to me." He grunts with excitement as he gropes me roughly through my washed-out jeans. "Gods! I have waited a long time for you to mature, baby girl, so I can claim you. The same way I claimed your mother before I sold her." I flinch in response to the abrasive friction against my vagina. By closing my eyes, I attempt to focus on my breathing and less on the pain he is inflicting. "You are as pure as water, and I am looking forward to filling you with my seed. Endlessly, tainting you and binding you to me when you bear my children." He snarls, sucking the bare skin right above my breasts on my chest.
MALAYINA. May 17th 2018 I lay in my bed. Screaming amid a pool of sweat. The darkness will not let go of me, and I struggle against her embrace as I drown in her sea of agony. "No!" I exclaim. "No! Please release me." I toss and turn, my limbs tangling in the sheets as my head thrashes against the warm pillows of the hotel. "Mikros (little one), calm down. You're safe, I am here." I can hear his gentle voice attempting to reach me as he calmly tries to pull me out of my nightmare. I continue to follow his voice as it leads me out of the tunnel and into the light. As I open my eyes, I jerk awake, panting for air. Morning has come. My room is illuminated by the sun, and I turn to face Amar. I throw my arms around his neck. "We're alive," I cry. "It wasn't real, none of it was real." I cling to him tightly as he tries to pry my arms away. Not because he does not want me to embr
CHAD May 17th 2018 "Hey, Chad!" I come to a halt and turn to see who was calling out to me."Hey, August, what's up?" I reply as I wait for her to catch up. "Is it true, what everyone's saying?" She whispers discreetly. "That a sick mother fucker was murdered in the East Wing of the club by one of the girls or that, they tossed his body in a drum and dumped him in the bin like trash?" I raise my brows at her, knowing that I am not being as discreet with the facts as I should. She gasps, clamping a hand over her mouth. "So it's true then?" She continues to stare at me with eyes larger than saucers. "Yes, August. It's true, all of it is true." I sigh, running a hand through my hair with frustration. Today I'm chilling out in the West Wing of the club. On this side of the building, you come to get a body massage with the possibility of getting a happy ending.
LISAMay 17th 2018I sit up, clutching the side rails of my bed as I watch my knuckles turn white. I need to use the bathroom and I'm sick of ringing the damn bell, waiting for a nurse to fart arse about looking for a bedpan before I can take a piss.I repetitively press the button that's hooked up to the morphine. A few seconds later, a chill runs through my veins, followed by an overwhelming sense of giddiness.I swing my legs over the side of the hospital bed, wincing as my bare feet touch the cold surface of the floor. I wince a second time as I rip the IV drip from my hand.Not because it hurt.But, as I watch the amount of blood streaming from the tiny hole, it reflects that it would have stung like a bitch. I can not help but admire the scarlet red liquid in all its glory as it cascades down the side of my hand, staining the floor with tiny droplets.On wobbly feet, I stand, trying to put all my
LAYLA May 17th 2018. I lay back on the bonnet of the car in the carpark to CLUBROOMs. I observe as the horizon gradually begins to shift. The flock of birds disperses over the sky just before dusk. "What the fuck are you doing here, Layla?" I sigh, knowing this isn't going to be easy but it needs to be done. I jump off the bonnet of his car and hold out the backpack full of money. "I came to return this and to say I'm sorry." He rips the backpack from my grasp, opening it up to check how much is inside. "Most of it's there. I spent three hundred on a room, food and a change of clothes." I offer him an explanation. He roughly closes the bag up again and glares at me. "Do you know the amount of chaos you have caused me?" He mutters. "No, but I'm pretty sure I have a fair idea." I look past him. My eyes look out into the distance to whe
