Rae I had been “dating” or whatever this was for about three months. It was surprisingly a lot easier than I thought. But we both had also been avoiding some of the hard questions we knew we both had for each other.
It seemed like we both just wanted to keep the peace, and sometimes it was a delicate balance. I didn't want her to be mad, I didn't want to be mad.
We made out heavy at work a few times; I did it on purpose and where I knew people would see us. I’m not oblivious to the way men look at her -- because I am one of them.
I trust her, but I still refuse to let them look at her like they would have a chance in hell. She is mine, and they needed to know that. Sometimes I left hickies on her too, and a woman my age wouldn't have liked tha
I called Corey and told him everything and we decided to give it a few days and see if maybe her mom sent her a letter or something … anything. We also figured there would be an autopsy and that would tell everyone the news.I had wanted to speak to him in case Rae asked him to do some digging, I didn’t think it was our place to tell her, and thankfully Corey agreed. It is a fine line to have all of this information and behind the scenes knowledge at your disposal … and to know the difference on when to use the information.I crawled back in bed and held this beautiful woman, this amazing and strong woman … that I couldn’t help. I always knew what to do in any situation, I mean it was my job. There’s always a way, there’s always a plan.But this, I had n
It had been five days and Rae was just a zombie, she was worrying me so bad. I had to force her to eat, to shower … she just lost any ambition and she really wasn’t sleeping.I had been waiting to get her to sleep every night before wandering in my office. I was knee deep in intel from a bombing that just happened when I heard a gagging sound … I turned around to see Rae looking at my screens and then covering her mouth.I looked back quickly at the screens and took down the pictures. It had been of mutilated and burned bodies, not something she needed to see.Rae had never really come into my office before, I usually kept the door shut, which was actually a wall that kept the room hidden. But since the incident with her mom, I kept it open so I could hear her if she woke or had
Thankfully, a week after Mae jumped, Rae got what she was waiting for … I got a call from the front desk in my building, saying there was a messenger asking for me. I ran down while Rae was in the shower and attempted to interrogate the guy.“I don’t know nothing man, this lady last week, she paid me $500 cash and said I had to bring this box here on this date, and leave it only in your hands. She texted me your picture,” he said, holding up his phone.It was a picture Rae took of us the day after we moved in together. I fished $200 out of my pocket and gave it to him.“You did good man, real good. Thanks.”I came in as Rae was coming out of the bathroom.“A m
~Javi’s Point of View~I gave up trying to convince Rae to blow off her stupid hair appointment. It was a Friday but given what was going on nobody expected us to go to work. I had on a dress shirt and some actual dress pants. I looked down at myself and just had to shake my head.Married, I was getting fucking married.Had someone said this to me a year ago, I would have laughed my ass off. But Rae is just so … so incredible, so amazing and I definitely don’t deserve her, so shouldn’t I hurry up and do this before she changes her mind?I couldn’t shake this feeling that if she knew what I really was, if she knew … about my monster, she’d run.S
~Rae’s Point of View~I woke up feeling like I had a bad hangover, my head was pounding. I looked around to see ... wait what?Where the hell was I?I sat up and hobbled to the window.The outside was moving through the window, over water...A boat … oh, I’m on a boat. I sat back down on the bed and relaxed ... for a millisecond.Wait, what?? I’m on a boat?! I shot right up off the bed. I tried to focus and it hit me.I was standing at the salon and people grabbed me off the sidewalk.
We rode in silence for well over three hours before coming to a castle/mansion I wasn’t even sure what to call it. It was probably older than my country and just as heavily guarded.I had fallen asleep on and off and I wasn't sure I could handle any more surprises. It was going to be tough to get out of this place, and even if I did, we were miles from anywhere. I only had on sandals. I was certainly in no condition for running … as if I stood a chance.We pulled up in front of the main door and someone opened my car door. That same man waved his hand to follow him and he led me inside. There were military like men every twenty feet or so all around. If this were Colombia I would think it was a drug lord’s house, heavy military presence for security and ridiculously extravagant.
Over the next few weeks, I was waxed from head to toe. The maid instructed me to put lotion on myself several times a day. I was put on a strict diet with a lot of fruit, which I didn't actually mind. My hair was softened and cut a bit which kind of pissed me off.A doctor “investigated” me to make sure I didn’t have a birth control implant. That part, didn't go over too well. They had to tie me down since I put up quite a fight.In between all of my "prepping" I was also having fittings for my wedding dress.I tried to speak with some of the servants to get information, but the language barrier was an issue.Dr. Karlsson came and tried to speak to me again, multiple times, but I told him to go fuck h
A maid returned and I put my small bag in a slightly larger one that had a change of clothes and a pair of flat shoes. I eagerly met her at the door, so she wouldn’t come in and see the broken mirror. She seemed in a hurry so she didn’t care about anything I was doing.This place was so damn big, we walked for nearly ten minutes across the house and upstairs before finally coming to a door.My heart was racing and it was about to pop out of my chest. I was grateful no men saw me walking around dressed like this, but maybe they were all ordered to stay away.She pushed the door right open and no one was in there. I went in, clutching the robe around me, and feeling very naked.I sat my bag down on a dresser and sat in a chair, careful of the
