Was she relieved that she wasn't pregnant, or was she disappointed? The thought hung thick on my chest.I reached out and took her hand, giving it a gentle squeeze."Hey, are you okay?" I asked, trying to sound casual.She turned to me with a small smile. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just a bit tired, I guess."I nodded, feeling a bit frustrated. I wanted to know what was really going on in her head, but I didn't want to push her too hard.When we got home, Kacie went straight to bed, saying she needed to rest. I watched her go.I followed her to our bedroom and stared on as she tucked herself under the bed without as much as bidding me goodnight.Now that's weird. Since after we continued our relationship, Kacie will never go to bed without whispering sweet nothing into my ears and vice versa.I brushed whatever thoughts creeping into my mind and slip into the bathroom to take a cold shower.As early the next morning I slipped out from bed and dressed up to meet Josh, I couldn't wait for sunset.
I kept asking myself over and over again, but I still couldn't find the answer.After debating for nights I finally resolved to go see my mother, not because I wanted seeing her face but because I feel I have the right to know why she hates me so much.Last night I tried convincing Zayn that I wanted to visit my mother in her dungeon, I just hope he approves of me going because judging from how he quickly brushed my request with a kiss, he might not let me go.“Miss Kacie, are you in there?" A soft feminine voice interrupted my thoughts.I turned my head towards the door.“Yes. Come in." I said and straightened myself on the bed covering myself properly.The door pushed open and a maid walked in with food in her hands.At the sight of the maid I knew already that Zayn wasn't at home. Whenever he's around, there's no excuse I will bring up that will let him allow me eat upstairs. Except if maybe I was exhausted from having a round of sex with him.“Your breakfast ma. It's way past elev
As we walked back to the mansion, I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. I expected to feel lighter and more free after denouncing every strings attaching me to my mother, but that wasn't what I felt in my body.The feeling was more like I added a heavy weight to my previous burden.Not to talk about Amad's piercing gaze which had left me feeling uncomfortable, and I couldn't help but wonder why the heck he continued glaring at me till he was out of sight."Why was Amad staring at me like that?" I asked Zayn, trying to sound casual.He raised an eyebrow. “How do you mean?”I shrugged my shoulders. “In a creepy manner that's beginning to annoy me somehow.”Zayn chuckled. "He can be a bit... intense. But he means well."I wasn't so sure. There was something about Amad that didn't sit right with me.I know he never liked me, but recently his behavior was becoming a little bit suspicious. But I can only hope he means well as Zayn said.As we entered the mansion, Amad was already sit
I had acted like a total jerk earlier. Seriously I need to see a therapist concerning the jealous part of me. Because why am I angry just because she went to see Josh.Okay he had actually wanted to harm her before even though he was being threatened then. I can't help but keep thinking he might have a reason for coming for her again.Don't get me wrong, I'm just worried.Her hands moving around my back holding me close made me look down. “I'm really sorry pumpkin.” I breathed placing a gentle kiss on her hair.She pulled out of the hug and looked at me “It's okay." She half whispered giving me a wide smile.I smiled, a genuine and real smile. One that I haven't done since the dawn of today.“Where on earth is this place?” she asked moving away from me.I followed her and stood behind her holding her from behind pulling her close that her ass was rubbing my front.“It's my safe haven.” “Your safe haven?” She asked. Her back was facing me, but I could tell she's smiling.“Yes, I do co
All through the ride home, I kept glancing at my phone. Don't get me wrong. I was just curious to know what he has got to tell or give me.“How many more minutes left until we get home?” I asked Zayn with my eyes still focused on the screen of my phone.“Less than thirty minutes. Why?”“Just want to get out of these clothes. I'm feeling very uncomfortable.” I answered rather quickly. Deep within my ears my response sounds too unconvincing because I was the one that picked out this particular outfit.“Well, he began his upper lip curved into a smirk. Why don't you undress now?”“Where?” “In the car of course.” he answered with that sexy as hell smirk plastered on his lips.“You're sick__”“Yes baby.He cut in. I'm sick, and your body is the cause of it all.”I just shook my head and placed my head on the window glancing at the dark gloomy night. ***“Zayn!!!” I hummed out as I tried to pull down the zipper of my gown with little success.“Can you please co
“What the fuck took you so long to track down that number?” I hissed as soon as I picked up.“I'm sorry boss. Whoever the person was, was sure to leave no lose ends.”I snorted.“I never knew someone as experienced as you would find something as little as this to difficult to accomplish.”“You never can tell. Anyways I tracked the number, but what I found surprised the hell out of me.”“Then spill it out already and stop gloating.”“I traced it back to Amad.”“You can't be serious.Are you?” I asked again to be sure I heard the damn words correctly.“Seriously Zayn. I'm serious right now.” he sounded pissed off that I didn't believe what he's telling me.But how can I ? How could I possibly believe what I was hearing. Amad was threatening me, trying to make me think I can't protect the woman I love. I felt a surge of anger and protectiveness towards Kacie. How dare Amad try to come between us?“Good work Jack By the way keep an eye on Kacie father,we might soon reveal to her who her bio
The alarm to our room went off blaring loudly into my dream.I groaned and pushed my head deep into the pillow, there's no way I'm going to stand up from the bed.“Hey pumpkin. Are you not going to stand up?” Zayn groaned. “I hate the freaking sound of the alarm.“You shouldn't have kept it then.”“Get your ass up pumpkin, you've got to go see Josh.”At the mention of Jack I sprang up. Traces of sleep wiping from my eyes. I stretched my hands out grabbing my phone.Meet me at Eli's in an hour time, let's talk. ~ KacieI quickly typed and send before keeping my phone down.“Aren't you going to the office today?” I turned to Zayn who was busy ogling at my naked body.“I'm going, but first. Let me make you have a quick orgasm.”“Hell no. Let's go grab a quick breakfast downstairs.”I flung my leg out from the duvet but before I could make it to the bathroom, Zayn was already blocking the way.“Are you sure you don't want to have my cock buried
“Are you sure you are going to be okay in there?”He asked for the twentieth time as we rode to the bank in his car.I rolled my eyes at him.“Come on, don't tell me you're scared.”“You should know I am. Now that you're the almighty Zayn's fiancee, only someone with half a brain won't be scared.”I chuckled and glance out from the window.“I wonder why you're scared. But don't worry, I got this okay.”There was total silence till we pulled up in the bank. “I guess we are here.” I muttered slowly using my eyes to look around the whole building.“Josh turned off the ignition and turned to face me. “I think you should know the straight path that leads to the dickhead office.”I stifled in a laugh. Obviously, Josh and the CEO of (DFB) would never be in the friendly adult zone.“Once we get inside. Just go straight to the third elevator to your left and punch on the fifth floor, it's rarely ever used. Take the second turning to your right and you're right at his office.”I nodded my head sh
“I'm sorry you're going where?” I eyed him over my bowl of popcorn.I was sitting down in the living room whiling away time playing games and eating popcorn all by myself when Zayn burst into the room telling me of his impending travel.“I'm going to Mexico for some important business. It's just going to last a week and some days and I will be back.”I snorted inwardly. If it had been when his hatred for me was still strong, I wouldn't even have noticed his absence.But now that I'm beginning to unravel how I can't do without him, he wants to go away on a work trip.I might break down if I keep on thinking about him going away for some days, how lonely and cold it would feel without him on the bed.How am I going to cope alone?I suddenly felt his strong arms around my fragile body engulfing me into a comforting hug.“Its okay if you don't want me to leave, I can postpone it.” I shook my head vigorously.“Don't even think of doing that, it's just going to be a week and some few days.
Recently her parents had lie low for reasons best known to them.But I wouldn't take chances, I would make sure I keep her safe from harm.Staring down at her smiling face, I could swear she was dreaming. I hope I'm the one she's dreaming of.I don't need to say much by the way, no one could make her smile the way I do.After much pleas, she finally gave in and packed in her stuffs to my room two days after our tour around the mansion.“Will you keep on staring at me all day long ?” she asked beaming at me.“If I could stay all day just staring at you, I would gladly do that.” I bent and gave her a peck on her forehead.“You know, you could still do that if you wish. But doing that will drain you of all your wealth.” “Is that supposed to be a threat pumpkin?” “How can I threaten the almighty Al-Zayn ?” she grinned jumping out of the bed.“I have to take a shower, my body reeks of kisses.”Before she could make it to the bathroom I gripped her by the waist.“Not so fast pumpkin, I sh
The soft rays of sunlight slashing across my eyes could be so annoying.I was having a wonderful dream, but too bad I had to wake up.The faint smell of oud hung around the room. I squint my eyes a little around the room.This isn't my room, my bed isn't as hard as this. I stared drowsily at the bed as the memories of last night started flooding in.I sneaked out of the room in his shirt because my dress was destroyed beyond recognition. Thanks to Zayn.The only prayer in my head was not to get caught by his maids or guards or worse still his nanny.And it was a success. I turned the door knob and pushed it in.My room was how I had left it yesterday but...Something feels off. The room had a mixed scent of rose and lilac.And I definitely don't use lilac. Could it be that...No no no, get a hold of yourself Kacie. She's far away from you, it's just the maids who often comes to clean your room up.Yes it has to be the maids...I rushed into my bathroom and took a quick shower. The chi
I woke up the next morning with a terrible hangover. Partly from the alcohol and the rough night between us.I spread my hands across the bed. To my dismay it was empty and cold.I opened my eyes slowly and truly he isn't on the bed.I ignored the banging hangover razing the whole of my head and head out of the room. The hallway looks empty.Where could he have gone to so early?I stroll down not knowing exactly where I'm headed to. I continued walking anyway.“I can see you're awake.”I turned around to see him standing a few feet away from me dressed in a well tailored suit. Even his haircut looks different, I guess he's in a conference meeting with his staffs.I closed the remaining distance between us.“Yes. I searched but didn't see you around so I decided to come check on you.“Sorry I didn't keep a note for you, just trying to fix a little problem.”I furrowed my brows. “Problem? Is it serious?”“Don't worry pumpkin.” he kissed me slightly on the cheeks. “I got it, in less th
It's been a week since we officially started dating. Somehow it feels strange because I hadn't expected him to quickly renege on his word, but all the same I'm glad things turn out this way.Seeing how he changed from being a hardened stone hearted beast to a loving angel. I might say I'm one a lucky girl tho it's still hard to believe.Despite all his pleas and constant nagging, I refuse to pack into his room. Partly because of continuous nightmare and also because I want to mentally prepare myself.Apart from myself I've never slept overnight on the same bed with someone, even when I was still living with Josh.“Common Kacie, could you please lend me a helping hand here.” I glanced up from my phone to see nanny Miriam struggling to arrange the dining room.“Sure. Just a minute.” I said standing up from where I sat checking out Zayn's pictures.Pictures that I had taken secretly without his consent.Weird right?I missed his face so much I decided to do the only thing I could do to
I walked gently down the stairs trying as much as I could to stifle in a smile. But it didn't work though, as a bright smile cover the whole of my face.I could tell from the way he shivered when I came out dressed in that gown that he was beginning to like me.Try as he might behave rudely to me always, he can't change the truth.Truth that could be very dangerous to you."Ahh. Get a hold of yourself Kacie."His warning that night was scaring, particularly his face."You must never fall in love with me, Kacie. The day you do, would be your end.” his warning kept ringing in my head and clearly it wasn't something ordinary that I could toy with.I continued walking slowly when the pain came again same way it did when I was at the pool. Except this one grip was tight caging me into the vast ocean of pain.I held on very tight to my stomach, my vision was already hazy at this point"Please... " I almost shouted when I felt an excruciating pain tear from my abdomen to my chest.I bent lo
"Are you coming with me?." I asked him immediately we step into the elevator."Nah. I will pass, the torture they received from me is enough.""I might end up blowing their brains out if I should set my eyes on them. He said with a hint of anger in his voice.I stared at him unbelievably. It's so unlike Amad to miss something like this.One reason why I always entrust my prisoners to Amad, he tortures them to a near death state."Speaking of which. Did you notice anything suspicious?." "No. But there's a possibility he would strike when he sees you let your guard down." He answered twisting the button on his shirt."I ain't daft, I know what sort of human he is.""Tighten the security around the storehouse and this very mansion itself, and also keep a keen eye on my fiancee."I paused suddenly already regretting my decision to leave her all alone in the room.She was fast asleep when I got a call from Amad saying the prisoners were causing a nuisance.Come off it Zayn. You don't like
"What are you doing here." His thick cold voice boomed behind me jolting me out from my reverie.I slowly turned to face him. I hadn't expected him back so soon, when I woke up from my long sleep he wasn't in the bed.My palms felt sweaty and cold against each other. I'm sure he's pissed off seeing me in his gallery.Before I could compose a very convincing excuse, he had kept the laptop in his hands on the bed and raised me up like I was a compressed air.He carried me away straight to my room and put me on the bed."Where did you go to ? You weren't on the bed with me when I woke up." I asked him slowly.He let go of me and stood up from the bed turning his back on me.I stared at him speechlessly.What is he trying to do ? Didn't he get my question.I was already trying to throw the same question at him but stopped when he began saying something."I went to take care of an urgent matter. And also forget about what happened yesterday.""Don't start nursing the thought that somethin
I spoke icily into the mouthpiece.I hung up after passing out my orders. I have been after this particular contract for seven months to be precise.Since I got wind of my uncle's intentions behind the shadows I decided to strike a deal with with Big life media conglomerate. BLM for short, which I will officially become their CEO in the next forty minutes.That's who I am. I have the power to get any work done at the comfort zone of my home.Normally, it wasn't supposed to take as much as seven months. But my bastard of an uncle was a step ahead of me almost giving me a hard time but thanks to my spies I was three step ahead of him.To get something, you have to stake something. Nothing goes for nothing.With an air of victory I walked back to the dining room but didn't expect to see what I saw.What gave her the nerves to leave the dining while I'm not done eating yet ?."Hey you." I beckoned on the maid clearing the table.Where's my fiancee?." "I don't really know sir, but I thin
