My legs felt heavy as I ran down towards the elevator which leads to the exit. The conversation between I and my guard playing repeatedly in my head. Nanny Miriam just collapsed and has been rushed to the family hospital. She's in the VIP section, ward 209.In my whole life, I haven't seen someone as cheerful, loving and peaceful like Miriam. She had been my nanny right from my childhood, so she's basically my second mother.“Make sure my girlfriend is comfortable. If I should hear any complaints from her, consider yourself jobless.” I ordered my chief maid as I press the elevator door open.I rushed inside not bothering to listen to her response. And then the elevator not knowing the perfect time to fluctuate, it decided to make it today of all days.A fresh litany of curses spilled out from my throat. I shut my eyes and pivoted to the second option: the stairs, I don't remember the last time I used the stairs, I hate it. But as it seems I don't really have a choice this time.Hissi
Those two days she was with us were the best days ever.Tomorrow would make it a week and Miriam will finally be back home.The elevator door slid open on the VIP floor. I breathed out heavily and stepped out going straight to ward 209.“Fine morning Aunt miriam.” I greeted immediately I entered giving her one among my best smiles.“Morning dear. Hope you fine.” “Yes ma'am. As long as you're fine, I am also.”She gave me a lopsided grin and fixed her gaze on the packaged box I came with.“Something keeps telling me you came with food.”“Oh yes, I specially prepared it for you.” I quickly raised the box and brought it closer to her.Zayn dosen't know about me going to the kitchen to cook, I waited for him to leave for work first before deciding to put all what I learnt to practice.“Where is Zayn?” she asked picking up her spoon.“At the office. Is there a problem.”“Not at all. I just wanted to know if he was around when you were cooking.”“Oh no. I quickly cut in. You know he would
Still hurled up in between empty bottles of alcohol I felt miserable. I can't do it, not anymore.Looking back, I realized I acted rashly without even thinking twice.How was I going to face her? Especially after knowing she wasn't really with that man that day.Guilty washed through my veins. If only I had saw through everything first before concluding.“Fuck.” I pressed hard on my temples.I raised the last bottle of alcohol to my lips. Nothing came out, I threw my head backwards hitting the bottom of the bottle with my left hand, still nothing flowed out.I hissed In frustration and kept the bottle down. I took out my phone and called Amad. The same Amad I punched in the face yesterday.“Tell the maids to send me more drinks.” I said briefly and hung up.That I called him dosen't mean I've forgiven him yet. I still feel the urge of beating the shit out of him each time I recall his confession.My door opened without a knock first.On a normal day when I wasn't in this state, I woul
I gazed at its beauty as our vehicle purred into the garage. “Kacie!”Zayn called drawing my attention. He placed his cold palm on my slightly exposed thighs. “We've arrived.”I shivered from how cold his touch were on my skin. If not for Zayn, I would have dressed in a corporate attire. Something more comfortable, but he insists I shouldn't dress that way.For heavens sake, why would he make me wear a tank top over faded jeans with flip-flops? And to crown it all he didn't allow me put on an underwear.“Kacie. Are you okay?” He pulled over close to me placing his hands on both my cheeks.I wanted saying 'of course. Who wouldn't be fine coming to the office one chilled harmattan morning dressed like this?'But I bit down the words, swallowed it and instead said “Sure, let's go.”I pushed open the car door and stepped down. The unmerciful harmattan air bite at the areas my skin was exposed sending chilly waves down my spine. If only I came with my coat.Zayn crossed over the car, and
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
