My days had turned into a monotonous routine: sleep, eat, shower, stare blankly at the garden, and then sleep again. For two weeks the tedium was getting worse.

Desperate for a distraction, I considered seeking out Nanny Miriam to learn some new cooking recipes.

But Zayn had firmly vetoed that idea, his disapproval still echoing in my mind. "You'll only make a mess," he'd said, his tone leaving no room for argument. The memory of his words stung, and I felt a surge of frustration run through my veins.

As I gazed at the clock on the wall, I let out a deep sigh for what felt like the hundredth time that day.

The hands seemed to be moving at a glacial pace, taunting me with the long hours still to pass before Zayn's return. A soft hiss escaped my lips, a quiet expression of my growing discontent.

With a restless sigh, I settled in for the long wait, my mind racing with thoughts of Zayn.

He totally forbade me from raising any kitchen utensils. Forbade me from visiting Josh and my mother

    At least he would watch over the company to monitor any unusual threat. "Come on throw the ball. Don't be a boring boyfriend." Kacie yelled from the other end of the pool. I smiled, tossing the beach ball in my hand. "You want it, come get it," I teased, knowing she'd take the bait. Kacie splashed into the water, swimming towards me with a determined look on her face. I chuckled, waiting for her to reach me. As she approached, I tossed the ball high into the air, and she leapt out of the water, catching it with a triumphant grin. "You're so competitive," I said, laughing, as she swam back to me, ball in hand. "It's because I always want to win," she said, her eyes sparkling with mischief. I pulled her close, our bodies touching in the cool water. "You've already won me over, Kacie. You don't need to compete for my attention." She blushed, looking away, but I could see the happiness in her eyes. We spent the rest of the day lounging by the pool, enjoying each other's comp

    He laid me down, his body hovering over mine, his face just few inches from mine."You're mine, Kacie.” he whispered, his voice low and husky. "And I'll do whatever it takes to keep you."His lips crashed down on mine, hungry and demanding. I felt myself melting into his embrace, my body responding to his touch. He explored every inch of my skin, his fingers tracing paths of fire wherever he touched.I was lost in the sensation, my mind clouding over with desire. Zayn's hands were everywhere, his mouth devouring mine. I felt like I was drowning in his passion, and I didn't want to escape.Suddenly, he pulled back, his chest heaving with exertion. "Tell me you want me, Kacie.” he demanded, his eyes blazing with intensity.Is he telling me to beg to be fucked again? Why can't he just stick his darn cock and fuck me already?“Say it Kacie.” "I want you, Zayn," As much as I hadn't wanted to I whispered, my voice barely audible.He smiled, a triumphant glint in his eye. "Good." he said, h

    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

    “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.

    "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
