FRANKIE

I am sprawled on the couch, my legs propped on the table when the doorbell rings.

“Get that. You can’t eat free food here and expect me to do it!” Amara shouts from the kitchen.

I don’t know what her problem is because I was to get it. Aiden is not around. He left early for work and will be back in the evening.

“I'm getting it Amara. No need to be rude!” I shout back and put my legs down.

“You better!” She shouts making me close and open my eyes in irritation. I walk to the door and open it. I’m met by three men in black suits and earpieces. They have well-built bodies and look dangerous.

“How can I help you?” I ask looking at each one of them. They are scary.

“Frankie Thomas?”

“Yes. That’s me.” I answer and raise my eyebrows at them.

“Who is at the door? What’s taking you so long?” Amara asks and comes to stand behind me.

“Is Trey here?” she grins.

Trey? How is he involved with these men?

“We are here for Frankie Amara.” The one who looks like the leader answers.

    Bitch?This is the second time he is calling me that. What do I have that belongs to him apart from the baby? Nothing.I don’t know what he is talking about. I’m in the dark here and I feel dizzy. All the roughing up and the name calling makes me feel sick. I didn’t expect to hear such hurtful names from him and it hurts. It hurts like hell and my heart is in pain. Forget the whole body. My heart is in trouble now.Bitch?Can’t still wrap my mind around that name. It’s bitter. Someone else can call me that but Trey? The man I love with my everything? I have nothing much and by everything I mean, my heart, mind and soul.“Have something that is yours? What’s that?” I clasp the seat hard. The dizziness won’t go away.“Yap. My money.”“If it’s the hotel money I can give it to you. I said you shouldn’t pay for it and you paid.”“That’s not what I’m talking about you lying bitch!” he shouts making my head pump. Why is he doing this to me?“Stop calling me names!” I shout back and decide t

    He is heartless. Never seen him this way. This is a different Trey. He doesn’t care whether I’m in pain or not. I feel tempted to tell him that we will lose the baby if he continues doing this but he won’t believe me so I just let the pain go away and look at him. I’m sure my eyes are full of begging.“I don’t have any money Trey. If I did I would have given it to you. I’m in pain as it is.”“You think I give a fuck?”“I’m sorry. I didn’t know I was dealing with fake drugs.”“You expect me to believe that?” He lets out a sarcastic laugh. “I won’t. I want my money and as I said, I'm not bluffing. My money and I’m completely done with you.”“How do I get it?”“You should consider selling your ass. That’s what you do best.”“I’m not a whore you dickhead! Sleeping with you doesn’t make me one.” I snap with a glare. “I regret the day I met you.”“I do too but do you think it’s enough regret? No tomboy. You have a lot of that to do. You will be kneeling before me begging for my mercy by the

    She pulls me to her tightly and squeezes my bottom. I rub her hands off gently and give her a friendly smile. It feels weird. I’m straight. So straight.“Oh baby! Have you been crying?” She sounds concerned.I look at Trey but he glares at me.“She needs to be shown around Stacy.”“You finally give in to your feelings for her. So she is my sister-in-law?”“Nope. Not sister-in-law crap. She is here to work. She is our help.” He says glaring at me.“Help? Are you kidding me? You can’t take her from the club and give her that job.”“Turns out I can. Where is Jenin? Need her to show her what she is supposed to do.”“No. Wait a minute. Why are you doing this?”“Why don’t you ask your crush what she did to get us here? I’m sure it’s a long story.”“Jenin!” he shouts, his voice booming in the whole sitting room.“Yes sir.” An elderly lady comes running.“Can’t believe this.” Stacy says and crosses her arms on her chest, giving her brother a shocked look.“This is Frankie. She is a new help.

    TREYI walk into Frankie’s room, to the site of Frankie in Stacy’s arms. Stacy is really trying my patience with her crush on Frankie but why am I here? I know that I want to see her. To take in her beauty though if they ask me, I will say I want to see whether she is settled in and doing her work.I have never been in any of my help's room but we are talking about Frankie here. I have been an ass to her but I can’t help it. I feel mad. I’m too pissed at her to think of another alternative. About getting her arrested, I was bluffing. I can never get the woman I’m in love with arrested. I want to hate her. To have her thrown in jail but how?I still love her. I know what I have done is a terrible way of showing my love for her but I can’t help it It’s her fault we are in this situation. I wish she could have opened up to me. We couldn’t be here. We would be in this house but not under these circumstances. Maybe she would have agreed to move in with me.But this?This is not how I p

    FRANKIEI wake up with a terrible headache. I feel drowsy and moving is painful. What is happening to me? Why is this happening? Am I losing the baby?I pull the quilt off me and look at the sheets. They are so clean and there is no sign of blood.That’s a relief. It means that my baby is okay. I sit and support my back with the headboard. I reach for my phone and turn it on. There are several voicemails, including Aiden’s. I scroll down the contacts and dial his number.“Frankie?” He answers excitedly.“Hey?”“Oh my God! Are you okay? Amara told me what happened?”“Yeah. I'm okay. I will be okay.”“Did that asshole hurt you?”“Yeah but it’s the life I chose.”“What’s up? Just tell me what this is about.”“I owe him money. A lot of it and I’m working at his house to sort it out.”“That sucker!” he curses. “What money?”“I got into some company supplying drugs. Didn’t know we were dealing with fake drugs.”“Fake drugs?”“Yap. I supplied to Annex and was caught on the CCTV footage. I sw

    TREYI storm into Stacy’s room and slump on her bed. She raises her eyebrows at me and continues scrolling through her phone, ignoring me completely.“You are going to pretend that I’m not here?” “It depends. Have you stopped being an ass?"“I can’t Stacy. This is my business we are talking about and I have lost a lot of money because of her. I don’t need to tell you that I’m being sued.”“That’s not reason enough to treat her this way. She is a gem and you will make her hate you. You are pushing her away from you. You don’t know how many people want her.”“Including you?”“Yap. Including me.”“This is not up for discussion. She deserves to suffer. I need you to help me with something.”“What? Torturing Frankie even though we know she is innocent?”“No. And please don’t bring up her name again!” I snap scrolling down my contacts.“Need you to call this number. His number is Dre. Pretend that you are Frankie and you want to meet up with him.”“Okay.” She keys the number on her phone a

    FRANKIE“You should have waited for me to finish dressing up!” I hear a snap and turn to see a half-naked Trey glowering at me.My eyes travel up and down his body. He is so handsome. His chest is perfect, his abs beautifully outlined and I just want to walk to him and run my fingers on that killer body.I miss running them on it. I miss touching him. I miss being in his arms, him stroking and kissing my hair. I miss all the tickling, all the pillow fights, hanging out together; I miss playing on the beach with him and all this brings me to tears.What happened? How did we get here? I love him. God knows I love him with all my being and I’m burning for him.I want him back. I want my loving man back and not this monster standing in front of me. This monster who I created. I did this. I messed with his business and he unleashed his monstrous side on me. How I wish things were different! How I wish I was in this house under different circumstances and not as a help. Can’t believe he is

    TREYI don’t think I can stay away from Frankie. I’m obsessed with her. I can’t just forget that she exists. She is part of my life and has occupied it more than anything else.She was right in front of me. She was in my arms. I had forgotten how it feels to hold her by the waist. I wanted to kiss her. To kiss and stroke her hair, which is one of my favourite parts of her body.I wanted to push her to the bed and kiss her hard. Trail my fingers on her whole body. Feel her wetness and make love to her.No. Not making love. Fucking her to get all this anger off my mind. I said she would be cleaning my room and study just to have a glimpse of her. Wanted to forgive her and stop this revenging crap but my asshole side wouldn’t let me do that.I pushed her away from me. She begged for my forgiveness but I couldn’t hear of it.Yet?I'm jealous of Stacy. She likes Frankie and isn’t treating her like trash but I on the other side, I treat her like some sort of slave.I can’t help it. My ange

    I widen my eyes at the man standing before us. “Dad?” Jim and I call in unison. I look at Trey who raises his brow at me and shifts his confused gaze to Greg or if you prefer Joe. He is my father. My dead-beat father and I wonder why he changed his name. So he is the man behind my suffering? I know he was when I was a kid but here we are. I'm grown up yet he still made me suffer. I lost my baby because of him. Because of the shameless man standing before us, who I hate with my whole being.“Wait.” Trey is so confused. “Greg is your dad?”“Nope.” Jim is quick to deny.“Come on Jim. You know I am.” I don’t know whether I should call him Greg, Joe or dad. I'm so confused.“Isa?” he calls stepping towards me. I step back and Trey holds me steadily.“Don’t call my name. You have no right!” I snap at him and look around. I notice Abel approaching us.“I have been looking for you Isa. I miss my daughter.”“Maybe you are talking about a different daughter. All you did was make our lives mis

    It's Saturday; the day we are supposed to be going to Abel’s gala event. It has been an eventful week. Aiden and Jenny were arrested. They are still locked up and they are going to be locked up for a long time.Abel and Sera can’t keep their hands off each other. Sera is now working at one of Trey’s company. She wasn’t aware of the issue with fake drugs. Trey had Andrews security footage checked and it turned out that Sera was delivering the drugs but they were taken away once she left. It ruled out our suspicions of her involvement.Jim?He lives with us now and is also working at Trey’s company. I slip into some knickers and put on a necklace. The same necklace that Trey gave me on Monday. I stand in front of the mirror and look at myself with a smile. This is now my life. A life full of servants, a big house, expensive clothes and jewelry. It’s funny how one’s life can change this much. Months ago, I was so hopeless, no hope for the future. I was a waitress in some local club,

    FRANKIETrey is here. I knew he would find me. I try to breath but Aiden’s grip on my neck makes it impossible for me. I look at Trey hoping that he will get me out of here. His gaze is full of pity, fear and anger. He makes one step forward but stops when Aiden tightens the grip making me groan with pain.“Make another step and I will slit her throat!” He threatens.This is a new Aiden. I didn’t expect this from him. Didn’t expect such a monster. And now he is holding a knife on my neck. Eddie, Kevin and Abel’s bodyguard have their guns pointed at him.“Let her go and you can have me.” Trey tries to reason with him. “I’m not a fool asshole! I won’t let her go until you do what I want.”“What do you want?”“Everything you have. I could have had that if it were not for this bitch!” “She is not to blame. What do you want exactly ?”“Your everything. I want you to go down. Thought you would after the fake drugs thing.”“What do you mean?”“You think Greg was responsible for that alone

    TREYFrankie has taken long in the washrooms. Maybe she is not yet done but it’s been over twenty minutes. I look at the washroom direction and look at Abel and Sera.“Frankie is taking long.”“Yeah. I will go and check.” Sera offers.“Nope. I will go check whether she is okay.” I pull my stool back and stand. I walk towards the ladies’ and open the door but there is one lady, who is looking at herself in the mirror. She sees me and glares at me.“It’s the ladies’.” She says rudely.“I know. Are you alone here?” I ask looking around. All the toilets are unoccupied “Yap.” She answers and goes back to what she was doing.Where is Frankie? Why do I have a bad feeling about this? Why am I this unsettled?I open the door and step out. I look around but there is no sign of her. I should probably look for her outside. Maybe she went out for some fresh air.I walk out of the restaurant and look around. My eyes scan the area but there is no sign of her. I decide to ask around and walk to a

    Do those two know each other? Or did they team up after their rejection? Because that’s the only possible explanation you can get for their being here together.“Are you okay?” Trey asks in a whisper.“Yeah. I'm okay.” I answer and gulp down the wine in my glass.“Maybe we should move to the bar.” Abel suggests.“Yap.” Trey says and stands up. He holds out his hand and leads me to the bar, pulling a bar stool for me. I give him a smile and sit. He sits next two me, while Abel and Sera sit directly opposite us.“What are you taking?”“Some wine will do. I’m working tomorrow remember?” He smiles and goes ahead to give our orders to the waitress.I can’t stop thinking about Aiden and Jenny? Are those up to something nasty? Was Trey right about Aiden? Because he has warned me to stay away from him a couple of times. Does it mean he is not who I think he is?No. I’m just being paranoid. They may be together but it doesn’t mean they are up to no good. Maybe they are talking about something

    FRANKIEIt’s Monday again. My worst day in a week, especially after such a busy weekend. A weekend full of partying, where Trey introduced me to his world.I moved in with him, something Aiden didn’t take lightly but he later accepted it. At least, that’s what I think.I’m busy with a file on the computer when I hear some footsteps approaching. I look up and widen my eyes at a grinning Sera.“Sera!” I stand to hug her.“So this is where my bitch has been hiding?”“Yes. What’s up? Didn’t expect to see you this early.”“It’s one hour to lunch swiry. It’s not that early. Just missed you.”“Missed you too.” I lead her to some seats, grinning at her.“This is your new life? Look at you all girlish. Expected some tomboy look.”“I had to change my look. The new job dictated so. What have you been up to?”“Dre disappeared, I don’t know where to and his number is out of service. I’m back to waiting tables at Lex.”“There is something I have to tell you.”“What? Are you okay?”“Yeah but a lot h

    TREYI turn on the bed and open my eyes. Frankie is not in bed. She is probably in the kitchen or with Stacy and Celine. There is something I’m scared of.Losing her again. I don’t want to lose her. I want her with me forever. I don’t want Aiden to come in between us. I shouldn’t be worried about him taking her away from me because I’m the one she loves but I have to be careful. He wanted to poison her mind. He wants her, not because he loves her but wants to punish me. He knows she is my weakness. That I will do anything for her but I’m not letting him do that. He will never have her. She spent the night with me, not him. She told me that she loves me so meaning she is mine but I have to get Aiden out of the way first.That’s why I stepped out last night. I went to see Abel. Needed some advice from him on how I should do that and we came up with a plan. I just have to keep her away from him until our plan works.I step out of bed and walk to the bathroom. I take a quick shower and s

    He cups my boobs and kisses my hair.“Waiting baby.”“Don’t do that. I won’t concentrate.” I say knowing well what he does to me.“Okay.” He chuckles and uncups my boobs wrapping his arms around me.“My real name is Isa.”“Isa? What about Frankie?”“Frankie is my street name. I changed the name when mum died and I had to go to the streets.”“I’m sorry baby.”“Don't be.” I rub his arms and take a deep breath. “I come from a poor background. I know what it means to go hungry. My dad was a drunkard who would come home drunk and beat mum up. My brother, Jim, couldn’t take it and ran away. I had no idea where he was until few months ago when he came to Lex looking all shaggy.”I pause to let it sink in.“One day, dad came home drunk. I heard a scream and went to protect mum but he hit me and left angry. He came back later and got into an argument with mum then stabbed her.” I swallow heavily. Trey rubs my arms and raises my right hand. He kisses the knuckles and takes a sharp breath.“He

    She swirls the drink in her glass glaring at me. Am I going to fight with her over Trey? Nope. I don’t wanna do this.“Jenny, right?” My voice is laced with sarcasm. “What do you want?”“For you to stay away from Trey. You don’t belong to our class.”I can’t believe she has the audacity to tell me this. There has never been anything between her and Trey.“Oh! Really now?”“Yap. Stop throwing yourself at him. He doesn’t love you. That’s why he made you his help. Go back to Aiden. You are better off working as a help.”“I can see you know a lot about me.” I take a sip of my margarita and look at her, with amusement.“Leave this party. I will pay you. I will give you any amount you want to leave Trey alone. He belongs to people like us. People with class and you are not part of our word.”“I see.” I chuckle and take another sip of my drink.“How much do you need to disappear? Name your price.”“So you are serious about this?” I laugh and cross my legs.“Yap. I want Trey and you are in t
