Lucas's pov:
Ray googled through the net and after about five minutes, he discovered a brilliant idea."Culpa strip Club has an event tonight. An anonymous Night," He read out to my hearing as he looked at his screen.A mischievous grin of satisfaction took over my lips and I nodded.A masked Night wasn't a bad idea. I could use the help of some strippers to cool off as well."Get me a mask.... inform the boys to keep watch too, that bitch couldn't have gone far." I instructed putting on my gray blazer.Let's have fun while the time flies.....~🌹~I hissed as a strong scent of cocaine hit my nostrils while alighting from my Lamborghini, I don't smoke. It's unhealthy. Ray stood aside and held the door handle firmly as usual so I could get down.I walked towards the dim lights which enclosed the inner chambers that were smoothly concealed with high dull walls. Ray had made a reservation earlier.I could detect the intense scent of raw cocaine from the hallways and each opened door disclosed a fun segment with one or two billionaires, all in masks.We stopped at the front of a ringed curtain and with Ray shifting the rings aside, I entered.Walking towards the counter, I served myself some brewed beer and sat elegantly to view the room. I'm sharing it with no one apart from the strippers.There were three couches in all and a center table with glasses. A wide space for the strippers and most importantly, music. The room had a little bar counter as well, all stocked with expensive liquors. A classy little wooden clock was hung on the wall too. It wasn't to my taste but I don't mind.Time, an important factor."Even fun houses respected it," I smirked.Ray excused himself immediately as I entered the floor. So I waited patiently with a drink for my dancers to arrive.That was all I wanted, I don't mind wasting more time as long as it helps me in preparing for her punishment.I slowly took off my tie and threw it on an empty couch. I was already getting uncomfortable with the mask too but I had to endure, that was the rule.I don't play by rules though.....but it's worth it.I raised my eyes to meet the clock again.One,Two,Three.I counted and at the exact time, Five ladies strolled in. Each putting on different exposive outfits. Their skin was barely covered with cloth, A mere transparent layer disclosed their ups and downs.It wasn't pure stripping but it was manageable. I liked it.Just as the fun began, two more masked ladies stumbled in.From their outfit, I suppose the blondie was a stripper but the other girl? She looked decent enough to be a stripper.What was she doing here??? That got me curious.And strangely, it attracted me to her.I stared at her intensely, trying to read her mind as well as her body. She was putting on an extremely short gown, which showcased her long straight legs. She has wide hips, nice busts and probably a beautiful ass.What is this angel doing here?She was beautiful, no doubt. I could tell by her fragrance even though I wasn't able to see her clear face. Her pupils were bright emeralds, emitting invisible fear and insecurity.What was she scared of? me? pftt! I doubt.Her friend, I suppose, walked towards the other ladies but she just stood there, fidgeting."you obviously ain't here as a stripper. what are you doing here?"She didn't answer. Just clasping her hands together and drawing her gown nervously.I chuckled. She had such beautiful legs. I wanted her, she was so hot and she made me horny with just a glance. I didn't like the effect at all, I mean, I'm not here to get wasted with sex but I'd like to watch her strip. To see her elegant naked figure come to view in front me.I cleared my voice and that seemed to have miraculously snapped her back to reality. The masked angel finally found her voice."I'm...hmmm... a bartender?" She stuttered."A bartender ??" I never asked for the service.I watched her from head to toe in doubt. She was sexy and it was surprising that I preferred her over the other half naked women.Having a sexy girl attend to my drinks was fair enough...~🌹~Kiara's pov:When Emma suggested I watch her dance instead of roaming around the club like a lost lamb, I honestly didn't think I would meet a drop dead gorgeous man.He had perfect broad shoulders and his mighty height showed his powerful aura which could unintentionally intimidate anyone. His neatly ironed designer clothes that fitted his sexy figure. He had intense blue eyes that strangely pierced my soul in an alluring manner. The most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. I couldn't get a vivid view of his face due to the black mask he wore but his lips were exposed too. Soft and delicate....made me think stuff.Oh Kiara!Stop those thoughts!I stood and didn't realize I was fidgeting. What was this effect?He was to be frank, the most handsome man I'd ever met. I wasn't sure why I was feeling nervous all of a sudden. Was it because this was actually my first time in a real strip Club? can't I bear the heat?But then, whatever it was, I can't let a dirty minded handsome dude get the best of me.Only people with nasty thoughts visited strip Clubs!'but you're here. Does that mean you are dirty minded?' my inner thoughts awoke.'Nah...I have a clean intention. I'm here for Emma, but he's here for dirty business!' I defended myself.I shouldn't think he's gorgeous.His intense gaze made me uncomfortable and for a moment, I hated the dress I wore again."You obviously ain't here as a striper. What are you doing here?" His hoarse voice made me kinda feel intimidated.His accent was pure American and I loved it. Was I supposed to? nah... He's dirty and I shouldn't be liking his voice.A little sound crashed my train of thoughts and I immediately realized he was waiting for my response.I had to come up with something reasonable. Reasonable enough for him to let me stay. After all I wasn't here for him but because of Emma."I'm... hmmm... a bartender?"It felt more like a question than an answer though. I gulped and secretly wished he believed me. we were starting to draw attention and I didn't like it.If not for the mask, I wouldn't be standing here. I don't like the tension and I could tell the dancers were getting pissed off. I was a distraction, I suppose.His lips curved into a nasty smirk and I frowned."A bartender??" he nodded after giving a long sort of scrutinizing stare.'Don't give him room to doubt you, boldness conceal a lot!' Eric's voice suddenly rang in my ears.He definitely doesn't look like one to be pleased easily. Well, I'm just going to pretend he isn't here.I smiled brightly and looked directly into his charming eyes in an attempt to hide my fear. My training finally paid off!Finally, he shifted his gaze to the strippers.I could finally breathe. I didn't realize I was holding my breath until now.I walked towards an empty couch adjacent to his since the other couch was occupied by a necktie. I knew it was his.Thank goodness he believed my lie.Lucas's pov:I watched her pass across gently or rather carefully to sit on a couch. I see what she is doing and trust me, I can't help but chuckle. Seriously?She walked so carefully as though she was stiffening her hips from moving. Who does that? Was she afraid I might stare at her hips? Though I admit she was sexy and more attractive than my stripers on natural skin, I'm not a pervert!Or am I?I had my eyes glued on her against my wish, and couldn't take my eyes off her emerald colored iris.Damn! How can one have such beautiful eyes?Our eyes locked suddenly, I smirked though I felt my heart skip a beat or was I just noticing it now? she looked away with a shocked expression. I actually caught her staring or rather, we caught each other staring.But then, she was just inches away from me, so how can I not stare?five more steps and our body did collide.I decided to avert my gaze from her and focus on my money. After all, I paid for the striping service.The dancers were seducti
Lucas's pov:Have you ever dreamt of being fucked? Perhaps a wet dream?I just had one.I lazily relaxed my head on a soft surface. It felt really comfortable like a bed, except it wasn't a bed.I could feel the warmness and softness as well, plus a person's warm breath on my head, fanning my neck.This can't be a pillow either. Pillows don't breathe.Her sweet intoxicating scent made me crave her more. I wanted to stay there for long, not wanting to wake up due to the pleasurable sensations I had felt and was in fact still poisoned with. The feeling of my cock in her made me explode in the world of erotism and I felt like I was being transported to heaven.Slowly, I lifted my lashes to meet a shocking surprise. I was actually lying in between her naked boobs and not pillows as I had dreamed.How come? What actually happened? Was all that nothing but a dream?I blinked severally within seconds to be sure it wasn't one of my wet imaginations. But it was real, her succulent rosy nipples
Kiara's pov:My eyes felt heavy as I tried opening them and I felt some strange pains all over me. A mixture of sweetness and wetness.Have I fallen sick? Why does my body feel heavy as if I performed some thorough job last night? I quickly arranged my hair in a bun as I tried sitting up.I felt my stomach churn and a slight pain down there, making a soft moan escape my lips.Why does it feel like my laps are burning? I felt this needy feeling against my wish.Taking my eyes toward my body, I gasped in shock. What am I doing in my birthday suit?Where are my clothes?I couldn't comprehend what was going on, I felt really confused and the strange responses my body was giving me made my heart skip.My boobs felt heavy and my nipples seemed more sensitive than ever. I grazed my tits in an attempt to inspect my nipples and check the reason for the sudden color, only to let out a soft moan.Surge of electrical current flowed down my spine at the contact and I shivered with a moan.Does thi
Lucas's pov:Everyone deserves a punishment and a reward as well. Depending on the path, you decide to track.For me, punishment is a must. Since life itself can't be so promising. Punishment or reward, life moves on and that's the most important course of living.Can't wait to get to the basement, my punishment arena.I entered the basement with a smile. I love punishing traitors. After all, I don't decide their fate, they choose to die the moment they conceive such evil thoughts of stabbing my back.She was tied up in an arm chair, her messy hair evidence that she'd receive much torture.Her skin was covered in blood and bruises as well. I like-, no loved the sight of it.Ray and my loyal men greeted me with a bow as they sensed my presence.Dorothy raised her weak head slowly, the blood dripping made it difficult to see the tears clouding her eyes.I sat on a stool in front of her, legs crossed, and admired her new look."Please spare me... I'm..so..rry," She stuttered. Her voice w
Kiara's pov:The lights went on before I could blink and I shuddered, letting my bags drop on the stair entrance.Fear.Amongst other feelings, fear gripped me the most as I stared at his domineering gaze, my heart now beating inside my stomach.His appearance was all black, a black long leather shirt that covered his legs but still exposed a little view of his Cameron shoe, a woolen scarf around his head, and cocaine between his fingers as his 60 years old eyes looked at me.A plain look, that contained everything evil. Mercilessness, cruelty, death, just anything that screamed danger.One thing about Eric which it's obvious no one else has noticed, was you could read his mind by mere looking at his eyes.And trust me, right now, I know I've broken a huge amount of trust he placed on me.Maybe I was being selfish after all. My little stupid act would have put us all in danger or maybe it already did.I looked around to see the guards as well, standing at attention with chests popped
I studied her eyes, desperately seeking solace in its warmness but I'm afraid it's gone as well. That was when I noticed, not only her smile was different. Her cheerful eyes were gone, blatantly replaced with a bloodshot gaze, laced with a tint of mockery. I wanted to doubt. Just for a moment, I so badly wanted to doubt the possibility of what I was thinking, to believe I've not been a fool all these while. But I couldn't. Because it was the truth. A painful truth my brain was calculating but my heart refused to accept. 'never make friends' 'friends make you weak and distracted' 'friends are like concealed poisons, choking you and depriving you of the little air left when you need them the most' 'friends are potential enemies…..' Eric's warnings bombarded my clouded mind, making me quiver as my eyes opened to the hurtful reality. Among other feelings, I was wholesomely disappointed. My initial fear just evaporated into thin air. I stared at Emma, as my tear hormones battled
Kiara's pov:Apparently, that blatant voice had unbelievably emerged from my tiny throat, leaving my larynx quiver with penitence afterwards.Eric scoffed, rubbing his palms together furiously. He turned to walk away or so I assumed, only to attack me with another slap, completely taking me off guard.I slumped, my soft butt kissing the hard floor. My nose bled from the galling effect and a little cut disgraced my lips.I didn't realize how many pounds of breath I struggled to contain. For a moment, I wasn't quite sure I understood anything, my mind completely went blank and I could only see dancing stars.I could feel my cheeks boil red as my face heated up. He lowered himself in front of me, using his hand to assault my jaws as he pulled my face upward to meet his fierce gaze."I warned you not to make friends," He began, "must you learn the hard way? Friends aren't special. I had to kill a so-called friend of mine because he stood in my way of success!"My eyes widened as his stat
Lucas's pov: She's definitely not fine. I could still remember vividly the words Doctor Kaine had muttered to my hearing. "Her cancer is at the most deadly stage, surgery would be risky but we will try our best," He had said with an assuring smile. But I just knew it, only a miracle would save her. Why do bad things happen to good guys? Does Mia really have to suffer? Why is life so unfair?! I just couldn't stop thinking. It's been fucking 2 months since Mia was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. It's still hard to believe she actually has that, I mean, how come I didn't notice? not even a symptom? argh! I felt helpless watching her lay unconscious on the sick bed, I couldn't do anything. Life was drifting slowly away from her as each day her face turned paler. Is this the feeling when you're so powerful and rich and yet can do nothing but watch the one you cherish die slowly? is this really it? But then, I've been such an idiot. I should have noticed right? If only I hadn't been
Kiara's pov:Eric was exultant to hear the news. I gave him details of everything I espied and what I think was the reason why he made such a surplus supply. He was like a hungry dog eager to eat bones which are the news I fed him. He didn't care or ask how I was coping with these whole new scenarios or how much it affects my sanity. My options never mattered then and it still doesn't.I dropped the telephone, with a sigh, disappointment laying bricks in me. I lurched when I noticed Lucas approaching me.No, not him again!!!His calamitous eyes rested on mine, perforating holes inside me. Holes repleting skepticism and hatred.I gulped, the tension in me escalating beyond restraint. His impenetrable eyes and inscrutable countenance give little away but I sure knew what would happen next wouldn't be nice."I was just making an urgent call," I explained, without waiting for him to ask. I knew he must have seen me, so lying would only increase his curiosity.He stepped closer to me, tr
Kiara's pov:"What are you? a friend or foe?" The unfamiliar voice repeated, this time the gruffness of his voice doubled.My heart dropped inside my stomach. I felt my breath cease at once as my soul dissipated. I knew I was guilty but was this going to be it?The moment I finally die?Maybe?"I–" I coughed and spluttered, tears coursing down my face."Be reasonable with your answer because both have consequences," He warned, shoving the pistol inside my hair.What does he mean by that? That meant either way I was already trapped."I…I'm a slave," I replied instead, closing my eyes and praying silently that he doesn't pull the trigger."And What's a slave doing here?" He asked.I tried to turn but he fixed the gun firmly on my head. "One shot and you die. Don't try anything funny, raise your hands,"I lifted my hands slowly above my head with trepidation, literally angst.No…I can't die this way.The adrenaline surging through me whispered two words - fight or flight?In my small hea
Kiara's pov:It's been 216 hours since I got here, 9 days since I last contacted Eric and four days since the fainting incident. Yet, no news. There isn't anything strange or beyond the ordinary that I had to report.Everything was going smoothly so far except the part that involves my correlation with Master Lucas Hayes. He grows more haughty and malevolent with each passing day. Always finding fault with everything I do, his harsh criticisms pealing in my ears as my broken heart continues to shatter - tripling my hatred and disgust for him.If anyone was to be blamed for my fainting scenerio, it had to be him. It's clearly his fault because I worked my bones to the core because of his high and rapacious demands.Yesterday, he returned early out of the blue and demanded his lunch be served without delay. Since I had no idea he would be returning earlier than his usuals, I wasn't prepared.I ran helter-skelter about the kitchen, trying to figure out what I should prepare before he b
Kiara's pov:Echoes of gunshots and grenades engulfed the air….Their shrill cries advanced with the choking air, unfurling chaos inside her tiny head and painfully attacking the little girl's sanity.A little girl sat helplessly on the floor, scared as she was being traumatized by the piles of human cadavers lying scattered around, amidst the fire explosion. As the environment got deeply engulfed with hot flames, so did the innocent wails increase, singing a hopeless song. She was just there, her little eyes witnessing the ugly situation. Her eyes were blinded with hot tears, just as her heart shattered into several pieces. No one seemed to have noticed her, for they all seeked solace and their own safety, abandoning the little girl at the mercy of the flames."Mom!!! dad!!!..." She wailed, sobbing.Like a miracle, an elderly man appeared in front of her, his clothes covered in blood from the shootings and war."Don't worry child, mama and papa are in a nice place," he spoke softly,
Kiara's pov:With a heavy heart, I left his room and flounced down the stairs imprecating curses on the day our lives tangled.At the kitchen I resumed my cooking tutorials, with Mama Brown handling the class. I stood beside her, carefully observing every detail she practiced.I wasn't just doing this to impress Lucas, in a way it was for my own good as well. I'd love to garnish my own meals myself as well. "Once the water is boiled, we add the per boiled rice. Check the rice at intervals and ensure it doesn't get burnt. Lucas loathes burnt meals," She warned strictly, adjusting the knobs to control the flames from the cooker.I nodded."Here, select the ingredients for tomato stew." Mama Brown passed a bowl of ingredients towards me.I collected the bowl. Taking a seat, I picked the ingredients and separated them. She had taught me the ingredients to use and I learnt that pretty fast.After selecting the spices to be used, I passed the bowl back to her and helped with chopping the v
Kiara's pov:Just as she was about to step her in, I trapped her foot with the door."Ouch!" She flinched."I'm so sorry, just give me a minute. Step back a little," I apologized, adjusting the door for her to remove her leg. I rested my head on the door, so she wasn't able to see me clearly.She grumbled and pulled her leg out. I shut the door immediately, running over to the bed to get my wig. It wasn't there.It wasn't anywhere."shit! Where are you? come out wigg...I need you…." I murmured needly, my eyes scanning the entire room like a weapon detector. Except I wasn't looking for a weapon but a fucking postiche.Frankly speaking, if I was the wig, I would rather not come out. After all, she had hurled me infuriatingly at the wall last night.After some minutes, I sighted a little ginger colored hair behind the blue silk curtains. Smiling, I picked it up, dusting it carefully as I sauntered towards the framed reflecting surface, forgetting someone was waiting in front of the door
Lucas's pov:I turned on the shower and laid in the tub for a few moments, using a mask to cover my eyes. The tepidness of the water, invigorating my bods, dispersing neutrality. After some minutes of tranquility, with my muscles and joints fully relieved, I stood up from the bathtub and covered my nudity with a towel hung at the hanger stand. But then I noticed a set of white frillies on the hanger as well.I gawped in doubt, completely baffled as to why a female undies was lying attractively on my hanger.I heaved, completely nonplussed due to the improbable sight before me. I took them off the hanger, the feel of the silky fabric on my hands sent tingling sensations over my skin.Damn!"She's so uncoordinated, but yet, she attracts me with her silliness," I smiled, closing the bathroom door.If her undies were here that meant her bag should be somewhere in this room as well. I took my time looking for it until I spotted it under the bed."Very likely of her," I sighed with a chu
Kiara's pov:He was just like Eric. The same oppugnant and ferocious nature, except he had these captivating set of eyes.Eyes that said 'yes' when he actually meant 'No'. Always setting a trap and letting you fall to it. I can't watch myself lose the fingers I used to sign the contract.I knew my moments here were like a timing bomb and I did explode the minute I got caught. Was I scared of death? Fuck! I had sentenced myself to death the moment I agreed to this suicidal mission.Through out that morning, I forced my feeble limbs to work nonstop against it's will since I couldn't imagine sacrificing a fucking finger for some heinous ass hole. By the time it was noon, I got my chance to breathe because staying in the kitchen all day deprived me of air. It was finally leisure time but not completely for me though as I still had some salient issues to handle.This was the perfect time to get my things from his room and not be caught since everyone was in the kitchen cleaning up.I hur
Kiara's pov:"What??!"My eyes almost jutted out as my brows raised high due to the illogical words that pierced into my tympanic membrane.That's totally preposterous. Lucas can't be serious. Does the everything he meant, included his meals as well?"Yes Lizzy, he made it very clear. His clothes, his room, everything single thing relating to him," She explained, as if reading my thoughts while she counted her fingers. "How am I supposed to do that? I don't know how to cook and,-" I asked, making a clear dissentment."That's why we are here; to teach you." Mama Brown replied. "Hey, you both, bring those berries over. How long would it take you two to wash it?" She nagged, questioning the two young girls."We are almost done. Just the calyxes and it's ready," Tamara riposted while Cleopatra dried the fruits with a napkin."Oh, it's here!" Florida ranted, jumping excitedly with her eyes on her phone screen."What? Your boyfriend sent you a present?" Mama Brown teased, brushing her elbo
