Dark Love 40
Her eyes widened with fear and she stayed there, frozen as the green light came on with Suzy laughing and driving away.It was the blaring horns from vehicles behind her that got her kicking her bike forward and speeding home, only pausing at the gate to be allowed entry into the estate by the security. Then she drove into the parking lot and parked her bike.Inara hurried off the parking lot and headed towards the house. Inside, she raced upstairs to safety of the bedroom. The model could kill her. She knew it was serious now.Inara looked at the time and saw that it was about 4:30 pm. She quickly took a shower and changed into a house wear so it wouldn't look like she went out. Then she walked down to the library to read a book.There were lots of books in different categories to pick from. She chose a John Grisham novel and sat down to read. She had barely finished a paragraph when her phone rang.Looking at the phone, she saw that the call was coming from an unknown number. She had

Inara climbed off the bed and stepped forward. Then she paused as he set the newspaper aside and threw his legs onto the floor. She remained frozen in place, overwhelmed by fear but he beckoned her forward, urging her towards the seat.Inara took nervous steps forward and sat down, casting her gaze onto the floor. Her eyes alternated between the floor and her lap. Lemuel just sat back and watched her without saying anything. He kept watching her as her eyes remained glued to her lap, her body, a bundle of nerves. Still, he watched her, letting his gaze burn her tense body.As he continued his silent unnerving perusal, Inara started to quiver and her eyes began to well up. Still, his eyes burned her while he continued to say nothing, which raised the fear and tension in her body so high that she started to whimper.“Did I beat you?” he asked quietly.“No.”“So why are you whimpering?”“I’m…I’m afraid.” Her voice was tremulous.“Why are you afraid?”“Because you’re going to spank me.” sh

Lemuel stared at Inara, unable to believe what he was seeing. What was she doing stealing money? Christ! He had told her that if anything was bothering her, she should tell him. Yet here she was stealing money.At first, his temper was stirred up and he wanted to discipline her immediately, thinking that she probably didn’t get enough from last night and was looking for something to cry about but he controlled himself.To the best of his knowledge, she was a liar but he didn’t think that stealing was in her nature. His mind could not just fathom any possible explanation as he stared at her. There had to be a reason. There had better be a good reason.“What are you doing Nara?”“Please, I can explain this.” she said, her eyes wild with fear. “I don’t steal. Ask my dad, ask my mum, ask my sister, I don’t steal. I lie and I’ve promised to stop but I don’t steal. Please don’t spank me, I beg you.”He folded his arms, ready to hear her out. “In less than three words, the money is for what?”

Lemuel wasn’t too surprised about what the Lawyer had just told him. Thanks to being up to speed about what was happening.“I appreciate your consideration Mr. Sam. I’m sorry to hear that. I believe we can work something out. I will need to speak with my Lawyer first. You will hear from him as soon as possible. Hopefully, we can all come to an understanding.”“Noted. Have a good day Mr. Lemuel.”“You too. Thank you for your time.”***Having retreated to the bedroom in anger, Inara stood with her back against the wall, her arms folded together across her chest.

Lemuel shut the door behind him and headed for his home office even though, in all honesty, what he really wanted to do was go back into the bedroom and comfort her by retracting the punishment.The agony with which she had thrown herself onto the bed had touched him but he had to force himself not to change his mind. He needed her to have ample time alone and think. He himself had some thinking to do.This whole thing had started with revenge where all he wanted after her accusation, was to make her life a living hell. But along the line somewhere, he had been searching for that vengeful feeling and it seemed to be fading.He shouldn’t care. He should just continue with making her life miserable and thank God that she even had a bratty attitude which would further allow him his goal. But it seemed like things had changed fast.Maybe it was because she wasn’t what he had thought she was. He had thought that she was this wild girl living in pretense under her parent’s roof with no consc

Inara had no idea that she had dozed off on the bed after tidying up the bedroom. She had put on the television, switched the channels to an action movie station just to keep her boredom off and mitigate the discomfort of her lock down. Then she had curled herself onto the bed where she watched the TV for a while and didn’t know when sleep overtook her.When the bedroom door swung open, the sound promptly stirred her to consciousness and she found Lemuel stepping inside. She turned onto her left side and hastily crawled off the bed, moving herself over to the wall with her back against it and watching nervously as he gave the room a once over, inspecting her work.“Spick and span. Nice job Nara. You can relax. Good nap?”“Yes sir.”“I hope you won’t throw that kind of fit again.”“No.”“That’s good to know, sweetheart. You can expect your lunch in about an hour or a little bit more. I’ll be outside at the pool with my lawyer. Have a fit again at your own risk.”With that parting shot,

Feedwell opened the door, allowing Nana to enter with a tray containing Inara’s lunch.Lemuel arranged one of the bedside table at the foot of the bed to allow her place the tray on it. Then they both thanked Feedwell and Nana who acknowledged their appreciation and left, giving them privacy.Lemuel leaned into Inara and deeply inhaled her scent deliberately, making her catch her breath. It always made her entire body hot with sexual excitement when he inhaled her like that and her cheeks flushed crimson.Her meal consisted of One hard-boiled egg, a cup of cottage cheese, five saltine crackers and a cup of coffee.“I’ll leave you to eat while I go get mine downstairs. I let Feedwell add the optional cup of coffee because you have been quite good.”Inara wished he would eat there with her. She had gotten used to eating around him. But at the same time, she thought it was better he left, since she’ll be having her meal standing up. She hated that she could not sit down. She always did.“

Having reached home, Inara was back to being grounded in the bedroom. For the rest of the day, all she did was sleep, wake up and watch movies. Then later, her dinner was brought up to her by Feedwell.She wondered if the other people in the house knew why she was spending all her time in the bedroom. It was so humiliating. Seated at the dressing table, she looked at the dinner Feedwell was placing before her and thoughtwell, it couldhave been worse.Her dinner consisted of two hot dogs, with no bun. The

Dark Love Epilogue
One Year, Six Months Later The day was bright and sunny with a clear blue sky that was almost surreal. Heaven’s Vine had a full congregation witnessing the wedding ceremony between Nana and Feedwell. Reverend Anthony was officiating the ceremony at the altar where the love stricken couple stood, facing each other before him. In the congregation, Lemuel was seated beside Inara, her hand in his. He was wearing a navy colored suit while she was wearing a long peach colored dress. She looked radiant and a bit plump like a nursing mother. “I still can’t believe that I’m supporting those two.” He said, smiling. “They clearly broke the domestic rule.” Inara chuckled. “Because you love them.” She said. “They captured your heart.” “Just like you captured mine.” He said caressing her hand with a finger. She blushed. “Definitely, sir.” “Hmn. That’s true. They are very efficient and I will miss them.” “Why? They made it clear they weren’t leaving.” “I know but I’m sure it’s out of loyalty

The room was a six-by-six with soft ashen vinyl walls and low, level ceilings. A hospital bed fitted with leather restraints took up most of the floor space. High up on one wall was a solitary window. It had the translucent look of old Plexiglas and steel posts kept it barred.Detective Kyle was talking to a nurse who was already leaving them. She gave Lemuel a glance and walked away with a sullen face.The detective walked up to Lemuel.“This is Suzy’s room. She had a crazy moment an hour ago, kicking and screaming but has been stabilized. You’ll see her right about now.’’“Okay, I’m ready.”“Your conversation will be recorded and monitored by the Psychiatrist in charge of this place and other officers.”“I understand.”Shortly after, Lemuel was in a small room with the detective, a technical sergeant mounting a recording equipment and a male Psychiatrist in a white doctor’s coat who was in his sixties.Before them was a transparent glass that clearly showed a blank room fitted in the

“I should be aware of something like this.” Lemuel said furiously through gritted teeth. He didn’t want Inara knowing that something like that was going on. She hadn’t fully recovered from the trauma and the last thing he wanted was for her to know about what Milo had just told him.“The police detective thought it better not to tell you so that you can concentrate on taking care of your wife.”“That is not their call to make.”

The hospital sat on a headland overlooking the lake, enveloped in acres of emerald green trefoil that rolled and toppled into the city mist. It was a paragon of modest architecture, auburn-colored bungalows thrown unevenly around a two-story administration building, the compound veined with pebble pathways and flower beds, partly shaded by the spreading branches of shore live oak.Blade points of grey tile roof intruded upon a cerulean sky so untainted it bordered on the imaginary. At the intersection of land and sky, a single twisted city pine clawed at the sky. Beneath its swaying trunk, patches of yellow and blue lupine flowed like paint drips down a slanting green canvas.

Milo moved the seat-belt around Vann and belted her in. She was starting to panic, her eyes rounding with fright.“Hang on.” he said as he belted himself in.“Is the Officer following us a bad man?” Vann asked nervously.“Relax.” Lemuel said, “Even If he probably is, I’m sure he has orders from your beloved daughter not to harm a hair on your precious head.”

“What’s your name?” Lemuel asked the woman as he rose to his feet.“Vann.”“Get up. You’re coming with us.” he told her and the agent pulled her up to her feet quite roughly.“I’ll come willingly.” Vann stated. “There’s no need to be heavy handed with me.”“Desperate times.” Lemuel said and led the way t

“Is there somewhere you think she might be?” Lemuel pressed. “I really need to see her.”The woman shook her head and remained silent.“I’ve been trying her phone number but it isn’t connecting. Has she changed it like, does she have another one?”Lemuel pressed again.The woman hesitated and he suspected that she was not willing to divulge information about that. It w

The City’s bustling landscape receded as Lemuel rolled off one of the main express roads that gave way to a single lane road on which he drove for a few minutes until an arrow with a sign that said pal estate directed him northward.The estate was low cost and situated on a property line marked by a large flowering tree that shadowed low wooden gates. The gates were open, meant for décor rather than security.Lemuel parked across from the third apartment, which he knew, was Suzy’s and the agent parked behind him. Alighting from their vehicles, they both squinted at the harshness of the sun’s glare.Lemuel wondered where Inara was. Was she in a shelter or burning in the heat of the sun? Was she alive or dead? God forbid! He thought. She must be

The sun was out in its full glory, casting its shimmering rays across the horizon, scorching the earth and raising temperatures all around.In the woods, it was worse because there was no shelter but most of the wildlife didn’t mind and still carried themselves about. Birds flew, called and sang, perching atop branches of trees and surrounding hills while crickets chirped amidst varying sounds from different unseen creatures that filled the air as they wandered and basked at home in their habitat.Inara was not faring well. The forest wasn’t her element and under the heat of the sun, she was strapped to a dying tree with scan
