2024-10-29 19:42:56Elayna woke up to the loud sound of thunder rumbling. The room was even darker than it had been when she had first fallen asleep. She pushed the covers back and got up from the bed. She went to the large window and pulled the curtains back. She was astonished at the chaos going on outside.
The wind was furiously blowing. The trees were bending in unusual ways. The rain was coming down in a slanted horizontal angle, while the lightning and thunder added even more of a foreboding effect. She swallowed hard. Nick had been right. The storm had come just as he had predicted.
She picked her phone up and noticed she still had no contact from her husband. Not even a single text. She tried not to be mad, but it nagged her. She checked the time and realized she had been asleep for quite awhile. She had slept the day away.

“No it’s fine. You are right. You treat me like I exist. Sometimes my husband does not. You also treat me like I am not property.” There was a long pause she continued. “The trip was a nightmare after you left. He made me make amends with Mr. Alvarez. Then he proceeded to assist the authorities in his arrest. He used me as a pawn. My own husband. You may not know this, but I was born in a small southern backwoods town. My daddy was a coal miner and my momma was a seamstress. We didn’t have much when I grew up, except our word. I’m noticing more and more everyday his word isn’t meaning much. He lies to me…” She trailed off. “So I say all of that to say, thank you for treating me with kindness.” “Mrs. King this is none of my business, but I do want you to know that if you ever need me in any way I’m here for you.” She put her plate down then and crossed h

She swam the small distance between them and wrapped her arms around his neck. Then kissed him with all the built up passion she had been holding on to. One of his hands held the sides of her face as his hungrily kissed her back and waded in the water with her. All the pent up sexual tension they had for each other flowed like hot lava in this kiss. His tongue danced inside of her mouth and she moaned in delight at his skill. She wanted him badly. His cock grew rock hard at the sound of Elayna’s moan, and he knew there was no going back once he claimed her for his own. She wrapped her legs around his muscular waist. He felt her slit rubbing back and forth on his engorged member, driving him to madness. He had dreamed about this since he saw her. It was about to happen.Raw need was taking over. He broke the away before he could no longer control himself

He let out a low growl. She looked up to see his face was mesmerized in pleasure. She stuck her tongue in his mouth while she stroked him. He gently pushed her hand away when his member was ramrod straight. He opened her legs wide and with one powerful thrust he entered her. She cried out, and she prayed it’d always feel this good when he entered her like that.. “Oh My God!” She whispered in a shudder. The intense feeling of pleasure made her hold on to him even tighter and the words she let slip out of her mouth were now a chant with each mounting stroke he gave her. She felt her breathing change and she moaned out again. She knew she was orgasming and by the way he was pumping inside of her he did too. “Oh, Nick, please...I’m….” She gasped as the orgasm

She took another sip of her tea when she heard her phone ringing. She knew it was her husband. For the first time she wondered should she answer it. She knew in that same moment she didn’t have a choice she had to answer it. She picked the phone up from the counter she had placed it on earlier. “Hello.” “Darling, it’s over with. I’m sending Pete to come and get you. Be ready.” He hung up. She put the phone back down on the counter. It was the worst news she’d heard. She wished she could have more time, but knew it wasn’t possible. She put her cup of tea down, walked over by the back door, and retrieved her hunter green jacket.Then she put on her boots and went outside.

Elayna couldn’t say she was elated to see her husband, because she honestly wasn’t. While on the plane back to her ‘normal’ life she was able to access the news and catch up on the week she had missed. Everything she and Pete had discussed in the car pertaining to her husband and the Alvarez situation turned out the way he said it would. Her husband now owned the majority of one of South America’s largest produce companies. Alvarez was being tried and convicted on money laundering and drug trafficking charges. No one seemed to associate her husbands ties with him in any criminalistic way, only that he was the one to pick up the pieces and salvage what name was left for the Alvarez family for the sake of their new business relationship. The media had also played out that Elayna had went to a spa retreat in the mountains the same day her husband had left her there with Alvarez. She saw that one papara

“Leave,” was all he said to her. She did as he commanded, making sure to grab her purse and coat on the way out. She rushed out of his study. Once she was out she quickly walked upstairs and went to her side of the house. Once she was inside of her Suite she closed her bedroom doors and took her tattered clothes off. She felt dirty and used in her own home, by her own husband. She went into the bathroom and turned the shower on. She looked at the time and noticed it was almost midnight. She got into the shower and washed and brushed her shame away. She felt conflicted. The feelings she felt with her husband should have been the feelings she had felt with Nick, but that hadn't been the case. Nick made her feel cherished and loved. Her husband made her feel chea

A thought she had never considered, until now, when she saw the hurt and jealousy in his eyes. She thought about him for the rest of the day, and all through her welcome home party. She was going through the motions but making sure to still be the classic Elayna King her husband had pummeled in her since their earlier years together. Bradley’s abuse was becoming dull and routine and she wondered if she could handle three more years with these staunch, snobby people and her husband’s boring stories that always revolved around his money in some way. She didn’t see Nick here tonight and she wondered if it had anything to do with her and what had occured between them earlier today. She tried to shake it off, but knew she couldn’t. He was apart of her now. The people at her party had no idea what they were celebrating. They had no idea she had been in

Making sure not to be seen, of course.He followed her from the time he had saw her exit her home driving her own vehicle to her makeup artist friends home.

“You would kill me ?

Elayna noticed Rosa was still there.She walked over to Elayna. Rosa looked at the goon, then back at Elayna. Her tears streaked her makeup and she could see the bruising they had covered up so strategically earlier. She picked up the needle then.“Rosa... please…” She begged her then, not knowing what Rosa would do next.The goon looked at Elayna. He smirked.“Mr. King won’t mind.” She informed him. “Now, you slap her arm so some veins show for me.” She instructed him.He did what she asked. He kept his large hand on Elaynas arm.At the very last minute, Rosa injected all of the contents inside of the needle

Elayna sat down on the couch in front of the fireplace.He sat down beside her. He was holding a glass of scotch. He took a drink then.“Alvarez was never going to sell. Not after that debacle your boyfriend caused. So I did what I do best. I got him to.”“By framing him.”“I didn’t frame him. I just made some information readily available to the police so he could forfeit his company over to me.Why does this concern you again?”“I told you. I just want to know. I have that right now. I’ve seen too much not to know, right?”“True.” He admitted.“What ab

She placed it in her hands then gave her a small clutch that matched her belt. She opened it and put the phone inside of it making sure to hit the record button before doing so.“Thank you. If I wasn’t so sore I would hug you. I need you to stay safe Rosa, understand?”Rosa nodded her head ‘yes’.“After dinner tonight I need you to leave. Alright?”Rosa nodded her head ‘yes’.When she did the door opened and one of the goons she remembered from last night came into her room.“Mr. King sent me.” He grumbled.She let go of Rosa’s hand, but not before givi

Nick could no longer see.Both of his eyes were swollen shut.Pete had been stripped down to his underwear, sliced and tortured by cuts and salt.Nick’s hand felt as if it were going to burst open for the pressure at any moment. The pain was excruciating. They were both in pretty bad shape. Both of them were dying of thirst . They were only given salt water to drink, which they didn’t. Nick had been waiting for an opening to get free, or for one of the goons to make a mistake so he could reap the benefits of that and dive something, but it ever happened.After hours of torture they were both put in makeshift cages. Nick was sitting in the corner of his protectively holding his hand. Pete hadn’t moved si

Elayna opened her eyes and within seconds realized she was back in her home in her husband’s bed. Had it all been a dream? She asked herself. She was about to sit up when she felt something stinging her left arm. She looked around then.She had been wrong. She was not in Bradley’s room but her own. She had an I.V. in her left hand. Her room looked like a hospital room. There were various medical machines and beeping noises. She felt the back of her head throbbing and touched it. It was wrapped in gauze. The sunlight poured into the room.She remembered the explosion and hitting her head. She also remembered who had caused it all. Last night had been real, she thought. She tried to get out bed once more and noticed she was handcuffed to the bed. She heard Bradley’s voice then. He was standing by the window looking out on their prope

That infuriated him and he tried to get out of the chair.“Fuck you !” He shouted, and was punched, this time in the face.Mr. King was finished with him, for now. He walked over to another male figure that was hanging from a metal hook tied up in the next chair. His vision was blurry but he didn’t need it. He knew it was pete.“You fucking traitor! I hope it was worth it !” he yelled.His goons moved quickly and lowered the hook that he dangled from. and latched his rope tied wrists on to it. His shirt was ripped open. He was covered in soot, ash, dirt and blood.Nick’s vision improved, but not by much and watched as Bradley pulled out a blade. It gleamed in the light.&nb

She hadn’t realized the explosion had knocked her out until she opened her eyes. She could hear nothing but a loud humming noise in her ears. She looked around through the dust and the smoke area. Something warm and sticky was running down the center of her forehead. She touched the liquid and saw it was blood. She wiped it on her jeans. She looked around frantically searching for Nick and Pete. She saw black cars pulling up in the distance. She still couldn’t hear, only the loud humming noise inside of her ears. She tried to stand up but was unable to, so she crawled over to Nick’s motionless body. Fear gripped her. She shook him frantically, and called his name.“Nick!”It was no use. His bloody face was motionless.She cried
