Jane's POV I arrived at school before Adrian which was a wholesome surprise to me. That morning, he and I said nothing to each other. I refused to start a conversation with him, and he in turn rolled his eyes at the sight of me, sneering before getting into his car. I was fully dressed and waiting for him. He honked, and I opened the door to the backseat of his car and got in.The car engine purred softly as it pulled out of the driveway, leaving a trail of silence in its wake, which eluded the car as he drove out of the house, and headed for the school. Adrian kept his eyes fixed on the road ahead, not caring to glance at me once. I didn't turn in his direction either. Despite how hard it was not to take a second look at the new pair of Gucci pants and the Louis Vuitton polo he had on, I kept my gaze on the road. I was also itching to stare at his beautiful, curled hair, or lock my eyes in his, but I didn't want to be bullied. I held onto the resolve I made last night.Minutes later
Ollie POVI was on my way to the parking lot, where my mom waited for me every day after school. She hadn't arrived yet, so there was no need to hurry. I took the longest route, the path through the basketball court. Pausing to drool at the sight of Adrie and his hot teammates, practicing. I could spend the whole day looking at them, but that would be considered an awkward obsession.They were all gathered in the basketball court, their fancy and designer sneakers squeaking against the polished floor. Sweat dripped down their brows as they ran drills, passing the ball and shooting hoops. The sun was shining and it made the weather hot. The scent of fresh-cut grass filled the air. It was like a scene from a movie, except these boys were hotter than most movie characters.One boy, in particular, stood out from the rest. Maybe he didn't, but in my eyes, he did. He was tall and muscular, and moved with grace and precision. His shots were always on target, and his passes were all perfect.
Chapter NineOllie POVThe air was thick with tension as I approached the door of the classroom, my fist raised to knock. It was a hot afternoon and my heart was racing in my chest. The sweat on my brow was starting to drip down my face, but I ignored it. I needed to know what was behind the door. Or rather, who was behind the door. And why he was crying so profusely. I had told my mom the biggest lie I could think of - that I was studying with Jane in the library, and we would be unable to join her in her car, as Jane had failed the physics test. I told my mom that Jane was too sad to leave the library until she understood the topic. That didn't make any sense, and I didn't even have an explanation for it, but I simply hoped that she'd believe me and have no reason to call Jane for confirmation. I went on to tell my mother to go home without me, that I was going to come home with Jane and her mother, in their car. "Be home before six this evening." She responded. I smiled with rel
Chapter TenOllie POV "I don't hate Jane."As he navigated through the path that led to my house, he spoke to me about so many things. It felt as though I would fly. He and I were in his car, having the most calm and polite conversation ever. Me, Adrian? Definitely a dream come true. That wasn't all, he and I were talking about his feelings. "I don't hate you either." He swerved swiftly to the left, avoiding a careless pedestrian. "Stupid woman!" He cursed, rolling his eyes. My eyes didn't move away from him, so I had barely noticed the woman, nor did I see anyone else on the road."Why are you so mean to her, me, and everyone else?" I was talking about Jane and he knew. He barely bullied me or others. It was just Jane."I just wish I were better at anything. School, sports, music, anything.""You play basketball so well." I complimented."Yeah, right. I am just overhyped because we go in my father's van for games outside the school.""No, for real. you play excellently." I knew noth
Chapter 11Jane's POVOlivia got to the cinema before me, and was seated already, when I strode in casually. My eyes scan for a perfect position."Over here," a female voice called out. I looked in its direction and saw her seated at the far end of the room, clutching firmly to a pack of popcorn and a bottle of drink.I shuttled quickly towards her, a grin plastered on my face. "You seem very pumped about tonight. What's so special about this movie? I know you are not a big fan, anyway."Olivia smiled, but said nothing. "Sit," she finally said. And showed me a spot next to her. "There's so much I need to tell you, but that'll be after the movie."I locked my eyes in hers, and wore a questioning look. "Hm," I blurted. "I guess I can wait till then." As I was about to settle down, my eyes caught a disturbing figure. He had seemed to walk past us quite quickly, I couldn't say for sure if my eyes had seen correctly. Deciding not to burden myself with thoughts of him, I turned to Olivia. "
Chapter 12Jane's POV"You're evil!" Nothing else could come from my lips, other than those words. "You're a hypocrite, in fact. And you love to play the innocent one. Olivia, you cannot deny the fact that I like Adrian. Are you claiming you don't know? He's all over you and you're letting him..." I had more to say, but her calm voice interrupted. And tears had choked me so much, I paused to swallow. Using my face towel to dab on my face."Jane!" She was not upset by any of what I had said, which was proof that she was guilty. And if she was upset, she hid it. She was probably getting ready to tell me lies."What?" I yelled in response, cleaning off the tears that escaped. "Drop me here, Olivia. I'm so done with this conversation. And with you. Please stop this car, I'm alighting here.""Jane, those messages are not from Adrian." She was still calm as she spoke, smiling through the fight. "Check the photo on the profile, that's not Adrian's, or is it?"I checked the guy's display phot
Chapter 13 Adrian's POV I slung my Nike backpack over my shoulder, the familiar swoosh logo glaring back at me. Ready to hit the basketball court, which is also my sanctuary from this chaos, I went towards the dining room, expecting solitude. The door, slightly open, creaked as I pushed it wider, revealing Jane engrossed in her books. My eyes narrowed, irritation bubbling beneath the surface. "Jane, seriously? Why can't you study in your own room?" She looked up, eyes kind of dim, her sweatshirt slightly rumpled. "I need a quiet place, and your room is never quiet." I scoffed, glancing around the room adorned with white furniture. "Whatever. Just don't get in my way." She met my hostility with a smirk, her MacBook open beside her. "Not everyone can afford the luxury of a personal basketball court, Adrian." My fists clenched, suppressing the anger. "Don't act like you know anything about me." She sighed, closing her Classics book. "Adrian, we're…we're family now. Maybe it's t
Chapter 14Adrian's POV The familiar path to the locker room welcomed me, the echoes of the court slowly fading as I entered the cool, dark space. Then I put on the light As I changed out of my basketball gear, thoughts of both the upcoming state championship and the impending movie night with Olive danced through my mind.As I finished freshening up in the locker room, the lingering scent of sweat was replaced by a clean, nice feeling,then one of my teammates, Mike, appeared at the entrance."Adrian, Coach Nick needs to see you. Urgently," Mike said, his expression carrying a sense of urgency that mirrored the gravity of his message.I furrowed my brow, confusion settling in. "Coach Nick? What's it about? Where does he want to see me?"Mike, seemingly unaware of the details, could only offer a shrug. "I don't know, man. He just said it's urgent. Better head over there quickly."I grabbed a towel to dry off the last remnants of sweat, a sense of curiosity mixing with the urgency in
Adrian POV Mum pulled out a CD from her pocket and put it in the CD slot, the television turned on and it was a dark room. A door opened and someone was thrown in it, I recognised who. It was Jane. She was in a revealing two piece dress, my eyes widened and I looked at Michelle. She was looking at the floor and tears were pouring down her face. I looked back at the television and saw the door slammed close on her, she was banging on the door begging to be let out. She was sobbing and crying. I couldn't keep my tears in and began to cry. Ollie and Steve walked out of the room and I could see Steve had his arm around Ollie because of how much she was crying. I could hear a different voice and I gasped. That was my voice. I sat up straight in my bed as Jane looked up at the camera and it was heartbreaking to see the state she was in. Jonas was using my voice to verbally abuse her, he began to hurl insults at her. She was rocking back and forth and I could hear he
Adrian POVI could feel my eyes slowly opening, the headache I had was killing me. I didn't really want to wake up. I'd rather go back to sleep, I felt so tired. My eyes opened and the blinding light in the room made me groan and I moved my hand to cover my eyes. A sharp pain ran through my arm making me yelp in pain.Fuck sake, what was wrong with me? Maybe I should be working out more. My muscles were too sore. Screw that, the only exercise I needed was with Jane, I tried to feel around for the body of my darling.I moved my hand all over the bed trying to find her. When I couldn't, I opened my eyes and sat up, which caused more pain to erupt through my body. I groaned and held my head and used my other hand to massage my shoulder. That only made it hurt more.I looked around the room and my eyes widened whenI saw it wasn't my room. I looked all around the space feeling a sense of dread.This definitely wasn't my room, the white walls and constant spell of medicine told me I was
Michaelle POVI chucked it on the floor and smashed it with my foot. I looked back up at the police officers and they were looking at me with wide eyes and puzzled expressions."Well what are you looking at? Keep fucking going. Don't just stand there."I pushed them out of the way and walked out of the room. I could hear voices from the room next to me and walked to it, it had a lock on it. I shot the lock and then kicked the door open. My eyes first darted towards a boy tied up at the door. Wait, I knew that boy. I think his name was Steve and he was a friend of Adrian. My eyes widened and I began to head towards him. Why was he here? Steve used his eyes to try and signal me towards something else making my eyebrows furrowed in confusion. What was he doing? I looked at where he was trying to tell me and I felt my heart break. My baby girl.I dropped my gun and ran towards Jane on the bed, he wasn't wearing anything and I could see every inch of her body. There were new scars,
Richard's POV ( Adrian's father)It hurt me to admit it but Michelle was right, I knew down inside me she was right all along.Jane has helped him, so much more than I could have. She's helped him heal and forgive himself.She's made him feel loved like I or the rest of his family never could.But I just needed someone to blame, someone to give the blame to so I would feel better. Because knowing who's caused your child pain is better than not knowing at all.I grabbed a chair and placed it beside his bed. I sat down and grabbed his hand."Adrian, please don't leave us, this is one of the only times you'll ever hear me begging. But please don't leave. You're my only son, you can't leave us. You mean so much to so many people and if you leave they will be heartbroken. We don't know where Jane is right now but ,when we do find her, imagine how she'll feel when she finds out the man she loves is dead. Please don't die on us, I beg of you son. Please don't leave."I let a tear fall and ki
Jane POVJonas lowered his head and began to kiss my breasts, I tried to move my body but because my feet and hands were restrained I couldn't. He took my nipple into his mouth and I finally stopped fighting. He sucked and bit at it, making sure to leave marks and hickies on itI was numb to everything, he was going to rape me. What would Adrian think of me now? He's probably looking at me disappointed, I cheated on him. He may be dead but I still cheated on him. I am such a whore.Jonas let go of my hands and I left them where they were, no point trying to fight him. He wasn't going to stop. Jonas always got what he wants, I've learnt that. Plus he was way stronger than me and I was too weak to even consider fighting him. I just laid there and let my tears silently fall.This was it, he was going to finally break me. I would no longer be Jane Williams. I would be that girl that got kidnapped and raped by her step brother and boyfriend's cousin.I would be no one.How would people
Jane POVI've been tied to this chair for ages and my back hurts. I feel like I've lost any movement in my legs and I can't move my fingers because my body is so weak. I struggle to keep my eyes open sometimes and half the time I don't want to anyway. He's hasn't touched me like that since the first time I woke up here, I don't know why .He's had so many chances.I've hardly slept in days, i’m too scared to sleep because I'm terrified he's going to do something to me in my sleep. I'm scared. I'm so scared. I just want to go home.He sits in the room and tries to talk to me as if we're the bestest of friends, he asked me about my life andwhen I refuse to talk to him he slashes my body.I've stopped screaming now, my throat is as dry as adesert and hurts. The wound between my breast ishard to look at. How was Adrian supposed to want me when I looked like this? Hell he would have thought I was ugly, like I was a piece of garbage. He wouldn't have wanted to even look at me let alo
Jane POVMy head was hurting me. I felt like there were little men in there banging my skull with sledge hammers It really hurt. I felt like my head was going to explode, It was dark. I couldn't see anything. Maybe that was because my eyes were closed and refused to open. I tried to peel them open but my dizziness prevented me. Why was I dizzy?I was sitting on something really hard and there were itching things around my wrists and ankles. What's happening? I want my daddy.I forced my eyes to open and when they did I was confused. I was really drowsy and it was hard to keep them open, I was in a dark room. I didn't know where I was. I sat up straight and became alert.There was a bed in the middle and I didn't like the color. The rest of the room was a sickly green, I tried to move my arms and legs but I couldn't move. I looked down at myself. My arms were bound to a wooden chair by a rope, I tried to move again but I couldn't. I was beginning to panic. Where was I?Why was I h
Jane's POV"Adrian what's happening?" He leaned his head back a little."Don't worry darling. Everything will be fine."One of the men came running towards Adrian, Adrian pushed me to the side and I fell on the floor.My palms were grazed and a tiny bit of blood began to come out of them. Adrian punched the man coming at him in the throat before grabbing his hand and bending it backwards, I heard a funny crunching sound and Iknew it was broken. I couldn't help wince a little. That must have hurt.The other man came at him, he had a knife in his hand. He tried to stab Adrian in the shoulder. But he ducked and then grabbed the man's hand, took the knife out, went behind him and stabbed him in the throat. The thug made a horrible gurgling sound before falling to the floor. I covered my eyes with my hands and shuffled so my back was making contact with the car, I began to cry and little sobs escaped my lips.I heard someone else run and suspected the man Adrian had stabbed in the hand
Jane's POV“Daddy, isn't this dress pretty?” I asked while twirling in my dress.“Yes princess. It really suits you too.”Adrian and I were in the mall trying to look for a dress for dad's next event.I turned around and saw Adrian looking at me with darkened eyes.I suddenly had an idea and I wanted to have a little fun."I have a few more pieces to show you, Daddy." I said, biting my lip."Okay Princess," he nodded with a smile and I hoped this would go well.I disappeared into the changing room, putting on the red bra and 'Daddy's Girl' thong I got from the store we just visited before sticking my head out the door, "Ready?"He nodded and smiled but that smile quickly dropped when I came fully into view."How do I look, Daddy?" I said in a low and sultry tone before turning around and showing off the ass I’d been working to tone for months now before flicking my blonde hair over my shoulder.And when Adrian didn't answer, just stared at me, his pupils dilated, his pants tenting, I
