"Woohoo!" Men exclaimed from different angles as the young lady walked shyly onto the stage wearing white laced lingerie exposing her perfectly curved hips and firm breasts on her tanned chest. Her long blonde hair, shined brightly under the stage light. Smoke puffed everywhere and it was almost foggy inside the club as each man held their cigarettes. Kimberly closed her eyes in shame and guilt as she had no choice but to do as she was almost naked. She had wished this would stop so she could start living a normal life. She had been dancing in this same club for years and now tonight, she was going to spend the night with a man. She was determined to pay back what she owed and to break free from Mr. Raymond's constant maltreatment. He owned the club and had raised her and David, her younger brother since they were kids. Mr. Raymond seized no opportunity to remind them about their debt. Who wouldn't want to be free from the hands of such a greedy man who didn't even send her brother to
"Can you at least tell me who bought me?" Kimberly asks Angelica as she Combs her hair. Angelica was like the second boss in the club. She knows almost all the information about everything and everyone in the club. She understood Kim the best. She looked at Kim through the mirror reflection, smiled, and said. "He's a very wealthy person, I heard he's from a royal family" Angelica replied. "Royal family? Why would a royalty buy a prostitute?" Kimberly said. At least that's what they think of us who stay in the club. She thought. "I guess he needed a concubine, mistress or something". Lena, a slim tall beautiful petite lady said as she entered the room. She is also one of the girls who grow up in the club with Kim, they've known each other since they were kids but they aren't too close. Lena was always booked to travel out with rich men who goes on business trips. She had the looks and body. And many men were attracted to her. "My thought exactly, he been coming here since two years
Kim woke up on a very comfortable big bed. She had slept off on the sofa the previous night after crying and Henry carried her to his room. She didn't like how everyone made her a property, starting from Mr. Raymond who maltreated and finally sold her, because he adopted her and her brother, David from the orphanage. years ago. Now it was Henry, What crime did she commit in her previous life? To get treated this way?. was losing her parents not enough for her and David?. She asked herself rhetorically. She rubbed her eyes gently, then she yawned and stood up. Her eyes met with the maids standing in the room, close to her bed. "Who..who are you"? She said to them. How long, did they stand there? did they watch her sleep? how embarrassing. she couldn't even get a little bit of privacy?. She thought. "We are here to help you get dressed, his highness sent us". One of the maids said. " Help me get dressed? am I some spoilt can do that myself, where did you keep my bag"? She asked, her e
"I heard Henry is coming today," Vanessa, the eldest daughter of Emperor Francis Williams said to Victoria, The wife of Marcus Williams. The third son of the Emperor and empress Gabriella. "Yes, I heard so too, and also he'll be bringing his so-called bride," Victoria replied with a frown. Her husband, Marcus is the most unpopular of the three sons. He doesn't involve himself in royal battles, trying to claim or succeed the empire. She wasn't satisfied with his decision, but she had no choice. Maybe it'll bring peace to both of them and their marriage. But deep down, she also wants to become an Empress. " His bride? Well, who would have thought, he hardly comes here 'The imperial mansion.' So he finally found a bride, Who would have thought the one who rejected many ladies would finally decide to get married all of a sudden." She blurted out. "Do you know the lady, Victoria? Is she from a noble family? Vanessa asked curiously. "I'm not sure, I guess he has been hiding her and decide
"Well, it seems like we've got a wedding to plan". Emperor Francis announced, breaking the awkward silence. Henry stood, dumbfounded about Kim's action. It baffles him how he wasn't angry at her action but felt a strong urge to take her right there. She wanted to move away from him, instead, he grabbed her waist, holding her tightly. She wanted to push him away but he gave her a threatening look. She then realized what she had just done. She didn't like the looks in his eyes. Is he going to sleep with her when they get back?. She only did it to save herself, she didn't mean to offend him. Leonard felt defeated by his half-brother, He swore to bring him down by all means. He moved near Henry and whispered. " You win this time, next time you won't get to escape me." Immediately everyone returned to their original positions and Henry took Kimberly with him to the car, the drive to his mansion was silent as he kept thinking about how soft her lips were on his. He hadn't had that feeling
"This is so delicious, I haven't eaten something like this in ages," Kim exclaimed happily with her mouthful of food.Her eyes suddenly went to the clock hanging on the wall then she paused for a while. "It's so late and he isn't back yet, Did something happen?" She asked herself. He left hurriedly earlier and She didn't want to assume he was out with another woman because it was none of her business. Since he started in the contract. She shouldn't ask him personal questions. She then continued eating her food but suddenly it felt like someone was watching her and she turned to the door. Staring at the man entering the room.His dark aura immediately clouded the room and she felt uncomfortable with it. If she is a weak woman, she'll have had a great fear of him. instead, She ignored him and continued eating.He also didn't seem to pay attention to her and acted like he was the only one in the room. He must have fought with his real girlfriend, his anger was written all over his face.
Kim was still in deep thoughts when a knock on the door brought her back to reality, "maybe I should just stop imagining things". She said. "Miss, you ready?" Andrew asked from outside the room. "Give me five minutes and I'll be out." She said out loudly so he would hear her. Margaret hurried into Gabriella's chamber and without wasting time, she spoke."your majesty, are you gonna sit down and allow the marriage between Henry and that cheap slut to happen?" "Of course, not Margaret, I won't have anyone take you and my son's place." She replied immediately."Then you know what to do and not to waste time with it." She clenched her fist tightly."The emperor seems to be carried away by that girl's charm. I don't know what he sees in her." "Whatever our plans are, we need to hurry about it. They might start trying for a child when the Emperor gets an heir. nothing would stop Henry from succeeding in the empire" Margret was nervous saying this. The idea of Henry bringing a child to t

Kimberly stared at the gigantic portraits of Henry and David which she didn't get tired of staring at. she moved closer to them and touched one of Henrys'"Henry, I miss you so much," she confessed, hoping to get a reply. She roamed her fingers on the portrait, touching his face and lips.She managed to get a picture of a full full-face file of Henry's from the internet. During her time with him, she was able to take several unaware shots of him and his side profiles. Henry didn't like pictures, even when the press managed to get pictures of him, he had them destroyed.Kimberly smiled as she was reminded of that.She put her forehead on that of Henry's picture and closed her eyes. Kimberly couldn't help the tears that fell from her eyes.suddenly, the door was barged open by a little boy. "Mummy." he rushed in quickly and hugged her. Kimberly shif
Kimberly spent three more days in prison, there was no disturbance from Francis or torture from the policemen. Anthonia, her new cellmate made sure to protect her from her previous cellmates. Kimberly thought of ways to contact Grandma Lee's lawyer. He was the only person she hoped for. If Grandma could trust him with her documents, he must be able to get her out of prison. In the evening when the prisoners were in line for breakfast, Kimberly didn't go to get her food. She felt sick from what she ate for lunch. Anthonia stayed back with her."Ahhh." She cried painfully."What's wrong with you? Are you okay?.""No I'm not okay, my stomach hurts." Kimberly cried."Here, drink water." Anthonia offered."No, that's not it. My stomach hurts so much."Kimberly felt a warm wet liquid run through her thighs and she touched it. She was bleeding."My baby. I'm losing my baby." She cried out. Anthonia freaked out and she began to bang hard on the grate gate."Someone, we need help in here." Sh
Kimberly hoped that she wouldn't regret her actions. She spent two days in solitary confinement and wasn't given food to eat or water to drink. Kimberly had almost died from hunger. On the third day, she was taken back to her normal cell and was given food. That evening, Francis came to visit and request the papers again. Kimberly still stood her ground and refused to give it to him.Francis showed her some pictures on hon tablet. "I'm sure you wouldn't want your brother dead?." He asked her. Kimberly was shocked to see her brother in such a situation, he was all tied up and a gun was pointed at his head. In the video, David struggles to speak as his mouth was gagged.She couldn't hear a thing he said."Please don't hard my brother. I'll do anything you ask of me." She pleaded."Where are the goddamn papers?""I swear, I know nothing about them. I don't have any papers with me." She confessed.Kimberly was taken back to her cell, mistreated,d and beaten by the guards. Kimberly held
After everything was over, Leonard appeared in Henry's grave later that day.He was dressed in black as per funeral rights and he stood near the grave. Didn't attend the burial earlier that day, so he decided to pay his respect at that time. He was a bit drunk when he got there.He leaned down on the grave, staring at the tombstone of his half-brother seemed unbelievable to him. Even though he wanted Henry dead, he wanted Henry to die in his hands. Leonard felt that he lost to Henry, seeing him die in a plane crash."You're a coward, Henry. You're always fond of running away and not facing me. " He said,"We should've fought a lot more times. I owe you so much. Remember?" He lamented."I still have to pay you back for getting me locked up by my father. I deserve it. I have to shoot you with the bullets from my new gun." He explained.That same evening, Kimberly arrived at the graveyard to pay her last respects to Henry. As she saw the man on the grave, she quickly recognized him as Leo
Kimberly woke up after a few hours. According to Grandma Lee who was sitting beside her bed, she had passed out earlier and was brought to the hospital by granny with the help of some servants. Kimberly tried to stand up from bed."Henry, I need to find Henry. Grandma." She cried. "I cannot live without him." "Kimberly, get a hold of yourself. You should live well, if not for anyone but for your baby." "Grandma, it's hard for me to move on. Henry promised never to leave me. I told him I wouldn't leave." Kimberly couldn't control her tears as she spoke.Later that day, she was discharged from the hospital. Granny found out that Kimberly had no pregnancy complications as Henry had thought. The doctor in Germany lied to him. Granny didn't tell Kimberly anything and decided to investigate the issue. She found out that someone had the doctor manipulate the results to send Henry away. Henry's death had been plotted before now.Granny swore to get to the route of everything and find out w
When Kimberly opened her eyes she realized that she wasn't tied or blindfolded as she expected since they were kidnapped earlier. She looked around and saw that she was in a familiar place which she instantly recognized as the Williams mansion.She felt a throbbing headache hit her as she tried to stand up, they used so much drugs for her that she woke up late at night. "Henry?" She called out, staring at the masculine figure standing near the window. Henry wore only pants and was shirtless. Kimberly twitched her face irritably at the choking smell in the air. It was the smell of Henry's tobacco, clouding the air in the room.He put out the smoke, realizing that Kimberly didn't like it and he went to her.Kimberly was still confused by everything that happened. She realized where they were but wasn't aware of what happened after they were kidnapped which was the last scene she remembered before passing out.Henry sat behind her on the bed and patted her hair backward slowly. "How did
Kimberly stared at him for a moment, admiring his sincerity as he swore not to lose her. She grinned teasingly for putting him in a frenzied state."You sound so serious like any one of us is going to leave," Kim said and she wrapped her hands around his waist tightly. "I love you, Henry." She muttered, burying her face in his chest. "I love you too," Henry replied."Now, we should be heading inside. I think we've had enough of the wind for the night." Henry said and he carried her in bridal style inside their house. Kimberly giggled all the way Inside. "It tickles." She spoke in an almost faded voice.At the airport, Kimberly bid goodbye to David. It was a bit emotional for both siblings to separate from each other again. Knowing fully well that it may take long before they see each other again. After boarding the plane, Kimberly didn't hold back her tears and they streaked down uncontrollably on her face.Henry pulled her for a hug. "We would see him soon, Kim. And you both won't hav
Kimberly was discharged after three days and was placed under bed rest. Henry knew that they couldn't make a journey back to their country yet till she recovers so he brought a house in Germany for them to stay comfortably. He wouldn't want her using an elevator or feeling bothered to climb stairs so he bought a well-furnished bungalow."I feel like our life is peaceful living this way, Henry. Without anyone bothering us." Kim spoke. She snuggled herself into his arms on the bed and he held her tightly."Kim." He called out. "Yes?" She answered instantly, sniffing in his cologne that she couldn't get enough of. Kimberly had always loved the scent of Henry, and it seemed that it increased ever since she realized her pregnancy. She couldn't tell if it was her normal self or the change of hormones that made her love his scent more. But one thing she could tell was that Henry scents so well."I love you." He whispered. "I love you so much." He repeated and kissed her forehead."And our bab
