As the cab driver drove home my mind was racing with questions. Why was Alessandra here? From the letter I found in the hidden room, I can as well just say 'they were or are in a romantic relationship 'I felt like my world was crashing down around me.As soon as I got home, I rushed straight into nanny Miriam's room. "Kacie dear,where have you been? You didn't have breakfast before leaving.” she was saying but kept quiet when she saw my moody face."Aunt I need to ask you some questions." I said, my voice shaking."What's wrong, did Zayn do something stupid?" She asked, her tone serious that I would have smiled if only I wasn't feeling so hurt.I shook my head. “I'm just coming back from Zayn's office and I saw him hugging another woman. I need to know what's going on."“He was just hugging her sunshine. No strings attached.”I laughed in disagreement.“That wasn't a friendly hug, I know when I see one.”“Then__Who could that be? Did you just say a woman ?” she motioned for me to com
“Care for some coffee sunshine?”I tilted my head towards the entrance of my bedroom where Josh was leaning on the doorframe. He was generous enough to let me use his guest room which I'll forever be grateful for.It's been a week. One whole fucking week since I left Zayn's mansion. No call, no text, nothing at all. Not that I expected him to show up right at my door the minute he learns I'm no longer in the mansion__ but it hurts like hell.“You suck at brewing coffee Josh.” I scrunched my nose remembering the last time Josh made me coffee. I had to wash my mouth four times just to scrape out the bitter taste from my tongue.Josh chuckled and walked into the room, a cup of coffee in hand. "Hey, I resent that. My coffee skills are top-notch."“Agree to disagree. You'll never be excellent at brewing coffee even with the help of an excellent coffee brewer.”“Wait until you taste this one sunshine.” He winked stretching out the cup of steaming coffee to me which I accepted.I accepted th
I'd never been a violent person or someone who likes violence but staring at the annoying lunatic staring at me from the end of the room, I feel nothing more than the urge to jump on him and strangle him to death.He drugged me and then he cuffed my wrist and used whatever that looks like chain on my legs. If i guess correctly, it's been twenty four hours since this mentally deranged son and his father abducted me from my house. My phone has been vibrating in my inner boxer pocket, without anyone telling me I know it's Zayn calling. I just pray he can locate where I am and come to rescue me before this sick head of his cousin does what's on his mind.“Now you look more like someone who's being kidnapped. Don't you agree?"I looked at him where he sat with a glass of God knows what in his hand. I threw my face away as if he didn't say a word which kind of infuriated him.“You answer me when I talk to you bitch.” he hit me hard across my face.“Now, don't you agree you look more like so
“I will sign.” I snapped my head at him. He's kidding right? He's got to be kidding.I shifted my gaze to Kaseem who had an evil grin plastered on his face. How I wish to rip it off his face. With horror I watched him sign over his companies to Kaseem.When he suddenly pop out from underground I was already happy deep down that everything is over and he's going to save me and his son without having to put anything at stake at his expense. I was wrong, so wrong.I sniffed loudly and tried as much as I could not to stare down at the life threatening wire on my body. My eyes were fixed on the two men standing a few steps from me mostly on the son of a bitch and as he walked out of the basement with an air of victory I knew there was no way on God's green earth he wasn't going to blow us off.My eyes took a slow glance at my body. And I didn't notice when I shrieked out Zayn's name.He cupped my cheeks looked at me briefly before fusing his lips on mine.Is this guy being serious right no
Not that I would return there anyways. I can't risk getting kidnapped for the third time.It's Josh's girlfriend birthday today and I'm currently rummaging through my wardrobe which is loaded with dozens of clothes trying to pick out a comfortable outfit to wear to her party.I fell flat on the bed feeling damn exhausted and gosh, I didn't want to go pick up my phone when it vibrated.The number on the screen looks unfamiliar to me and I almost hadn't want to pick it up. What if it's someone trying to hurl threats at me, or what if I picked the call and the person immediately hack into my phone. I waved the thoughts aside as quickly as they came and swipe on the 'receiver icon.'“Hello.” I said rather quietly I almost thought I didn't say it out. “Kacie dear." A surge of relief rush through my entire body when I heard Zayn mother's voice. Why is she calling me with a strange number when she has my number?“Good evening ma'am." I greeted with a smile on my face as if she could see me
I looked at the woman before me and all I could feel is unmeasurable love towards her.This is the same woman my father had shown nothing but dislike. My mother had loved her at first but then hated her after discovering about my complicated relationship with her. Even after all these, she still didn't harbor any string of hate towards them.I continued staring at her as she lead me back inside the house. The surprised look on my mother's face quickly changed into a smile when she saw me walk inside with my hands entwined with Kacie's.She didn't say a word, she just walked up to me and hugged me. That's enough to tell me she's glad I came back.“So where's the celebrant? He's nowhere to be found.” My eyes glanced back to the spot where Rafiq and Miriam had been earlier. They weren't there anymore.“He's at the office. He should be here any moment from now.”I chuckled and sat down on the couch closest to the door.“I guess he never changes.”“You never can tell with him, he's always
“You're still yet to tell me where this is." I whined for the hundredth time. He had all but kidnapped me early this morning into his private plane.My pleading to at least be told where we are going before I fell asleep in his private plane fell on deaf ears. And when I finally woke up to see myself in a beautiful breathtaking place, I don't know what to call it but I'm glad it has a beach. And that was it, I never questioned him till we went back to America.“Kacie!!” Zayn called I had to stop stuffing my mouth with popcorn and give him my attention.“Can you put that aside for a moment?”“What?” I asked in-between mouth full of creamy popcorn.He nodded his head toward my bowl of popcorn. “Can you please keep it down?”I hesitated. This popcorn is the best I've tasted ever since I got dragged here but I still kept it down on the table, wiped my hands, folded my hands beneath my breast and raised my head up waiting for him to say what's on his mind.He cleared his throat.“When did y
I stared with happiness at the decorations my mother in-law and nanny Miriam set up. Heaven knows I won't be able to do this as beautifully as them. Don't get the wrong idea, I suck at decorating but my decorations compared to his was a top notch. So technically, I'm included in the list of decorators too.I walked down to the kitchen where I was certain nanny Miriam would be. “Can I help you ma'am?” I looked at the cookies staring back at me. Oh dear, I wished to take one and I did took out of it but I ended taking three instead.“No dear, pregnant women don't cook." I almost laughed at her excuse to make me go out of the kitchen. “Very well, I will be in the sitting room.”“Sure, that would be nice because you're reducing my cookies.” she muttered as she continued with her cooking.“Hey, you're two hours early. Come on in.” I stepped back a little and opened the door wider for Josh and Eshe to walk in.“There's no way on God's green earth I would miss Rafiq's birthday, I won't hear
