I smiled because this was the first time that Joseph was actually asking for my help. I finally arranged my bed and got to sleep. The sun coming from the window shone into my eyes and that was what actually woke me up. It was Saturday and it was just clocked at 7:30. I stood up and headed to the bathroom for my morning bath.It was hot so I decided to take a hot bath. As I was washing myself, I heard someone's footsteps coming towards the bathroom and I quickly grabbed my towel to cover my nakedness."Why are you hiding?" I heard him ask. It was Joseph."No...Nothing. I wasn't expecting you to come here.""Well, I did. It's my house and I can enter any room of my choice." He said while scanning me."Take the towel off. I want to see your body." He commanded and I did as I was told.He came closer and began to trail his hands over my body which made me shiver and want more. Before I could say anything, he was already inside me.At first, he went easy but later increased his pace."Don

Richard and I had to end the conversation as we heard Joseph's footsteps."Did you have to tell Grandpa to force me into coming?" Joseph asked."Of course. You have been away from your family for years now."I didn't want to listen to their conversation and gladly, Erica called. She was my best friend since preschool."Hey girl." She said as soon as I answered the call."What's up, babe? How are you?" She squealed from the other end.I decided to end the call and finish up in the kitchen."Excuse me," I said to the two brothers who were still talking angrily to each other.I didn't get any reply and I left for my room.I quickly called Erica again and she answered immediately."Is everything fine?""Yes, Erica. I've missed you." I said as tears clouded my eyes."Tell me the whole truth. How has Joseph been treating you?" She asked. I knew that she could tell my moods and when I was hiding something.I made sure the door of my room was locked before I narrated all that had been happeni

A gasp rose from the lips of the young man as recognition hit him like a freight train.“Joseph Dale!.” He said in astonishment. Everyone around stopped whatever they had been doing to watch. The young girls by the side had their jaws slacked. Joseph felt his pride rising, a feeling that was not too far from an erection rising.“You’re my boss! You’re my boss from work!” the young man exclaimed. Joseph was completely surprised by the turn of events. A thought ran through his mind and he chuckled to himself.“What’s your name, young man?” he asked in mocking sympathy.“D-Dalton..Dalton Johnson sir.” He stammered excitedly. “Intern at the marketing office. My office is four floors below yours. I see you come in every day and I see you leave every evening.” “Is that so?” Joseph asked with a smile. This is going to be nice, he thought to himself. “Dalton right?”“Yes sir.” The young intern said, desperate to please his billionaire boss.“That’s good,” Joseph said with a smile. Everyone w

FELICITY'S POV★I was lying on my bed when he walked into my room. My thoughts have been at a whole new level of disorientation and I began to question my sanity.I received a call from the hospital an hour ago. Father was getting worse and all the money I was funneling for his bills was doing nothing to elevate his condition. And it suddenly filled me up with a feeling of rage that I could not understand.Back in the hallway, Joseph had held me in a way that baffled me and I was convinced that he baffled himself too.Why did he catch me?Why did he hold me so close?Why did he act like cared only to dash my feelings on the floor, not unlike the way the way he dropped my body to the floor?Just why?!My life could not continue this way.Why did I have to suffer this much for a lost cause?Why was my life going down his path?Hot tears ran down my cheeks, forming little wet mounds on my pillow.That was when he came into my room.

Joseph stood staring at me for a long time. I could not discern the thoughts in his mind when I looked into his eyes.Was it admiration?Or was it just lust?A tingling sensation filled my body. Not the sensation of lust or arousal, but one that made my skin tingle.He snapped out of his trance and walked away from me. The echo of his footsteps filled the halls as he walked away. I bowed my head low, I could never understand why he did things like this. He made me feel so loved for one second only to dash my feelings against the wall.“Are you coming or are you just going to leave me waiting here?” His words floated into my ears and I raised my eyes to see him standing in front of the door. I walked to him and together we walked to the car. I was about to open the passenger door but Joseph strode to my side and held the door open for me to go in.What the hell was happening? I couldn’t understand a thing that was going on. Was this my husband, or a doppelganger? I could not wrap my m

I have always found a way to be prepared for the unexpected. They say expect disappointment and you can never be let down, but right now I was completely thrown off balance.The attendant had given me such a feeling of happiness that I forgot that my marriage brought together the two biggest business rivals in the world. Every single one of them was glaring at me, including my own husband.Joseph was staring at me with a look of absolute hate. My heart missed a beat and my mind was instantly scrambled. What happened to be the little perfect couple in front of his family? He lifted his eyes from mine and glared at his grandfather with a look that surpassed the one he had treated me to in a thousandfold.“You have no right to talk to my wife that way.” He said with so much anger that his voice was basically trembling. I could see his fist clenched so hard that his knuckles had turned white.“Shame on you Joseph. How could you bring this filth here to our house.” An elderly woman by the

“I don’t remember much of what happened but one day when I was nine my parents went out one night.” He began, “I had been left with my grandparents and sometime that night there was a call.”He paused and gulped. I had never seen my husband this way, and my heart bled to see him this way. The lights from the buildings reflected on his face and I could see a faint glitter in his eyes. My husband was crying.“The hallways echoed that night because my grandpa had gone to bed and I couldn’t sleep so I decided to go answer the phone.” He paused and looked at me. I immediately knew that he was fighting the urge to stop talking but could not.“The call was from the doctor, he didn’t even know it was a child on the phone.” He paused and wiped his eyes. I could already guess what had been said and I wanted to tell him to stop. It was obviously hurting him so much. “My parents had been involved in an accident and had died on their way to the hospital.” He stopped and stared at the way ahead an

I did not understand what was going on but I did know one thing. I did not hate it.I wanted to stay in bed with him forever but my morning called and I knew that I had to make breakfast for him. I slowly removed his arms hoping not to wake him. He simply groaned and went back to sleep. II turned on our cooker and placed some slices of bacon on the frypan. The house was so quiet so I decided to liven the place up a little with a little music. I went to my phone and got on my Spotify app. Soon the happy sounds of Maroon 5 filled the house with beautiful music and couldn’t help it when my hips began to move to the rhythm of the music.“My heart's a stereo, it beats for you so listen…” I was drowned in the melody and soon I put the eggs on and brewed the coffee. The chorus came on once again and I was about to sing to it when his voice came to me.“My heart is a stereo, it beats for you so listen closely…” I turned around to find Joseph, my once abusive and grumpy husband singing at the

I hesitated, with my heart racing. I was aware I shouldn't get close to anyone in this new project let alone build attachment as I was willing to risk my life and put an end to this, but Iskander's sincerity was undeniable."Iskander," I called out with a whisper, my eyes searching his face. "You've already done so much for me. I don't know what I would have done without you."I stepped closer, my body drawn towards his like a magnet. I could feel the warmth radiating from him, the strength in his arms. The moment seemed to slow down, as the world around us began fading into the background."I know I shouldn't," I said, with my voice low, I was feeling things I couldn't explain. "but I can't fight this anymore."Iskander's hand cupped my face, his thumb brushing against my cheek.I leaned in and closed the distance between us with my lips finding his in a kiss that was both gentle and passionate. I could feel the surprise in his body, a momentary hesitation that quickly dissolved into

The bright and sunny sky with the fresh warm air greeted me as I stepped out of the plane, holding Austin tightly in my arms. My heart, still beating rapidly from the events that I had just experienced, my heartbeat began to slow down. I couldn't believe we had made it out alive, let alone escaped to a place of safety. Glancing over my shoulder, I saw Iskander guiding the babysitter towards the terminal. The sight of him, rugged and determined, filled me with a sense of relief and gratitude As I made my way through the airport, the sight of normalcy around me contrasted sharply with the chaos and danger I had faced back in Hawaii. Yet, even as the adrenaline began to subside, my mind was already fixating on one thing which was retribution."Enough," I muttered under my breath, a strong determination replacing the fear that had gripped me earlier. "I'm going to find out why Sarah is after me, and I'm going to end it."Austin's soft coo snapped me back to reality. I glanced down at his

The babysitter laughed with her bandaged arm at Austin. “He's always looking for one reason to cry,” she said. “No, he's just unhappy that his mother is crying, that's how he consoles her,” He said.We drove for hours, through the city and then out into the countryside. The babysitter was quiet, her eyes closed as she rested. I tried to stay alert with Iskander, scanning the landscape for any sign of danger. But the soldiers seemed confident that we were safe, and eventually, my nerves began to settle. As we drove further and further from the city, I started to relax. The soldiers were highly skilled, and I felt confident that they would keep us safe. I looked over at the babysitter, who was still sleeping peacefully. I felt a wave of gratitude wash over me. She was safe, and I was glad she survived, I didn't want her to be part of something she knew nothing about, and being the victim through death would make me hate myself.We pulled into a street and the soldiers led us through a

Iskander kept mute for a while, then he sighed. “All right, who is this soldier you seem to trust so much,” he said looking at me.“Soldier Bellion” I replied immediately. “You trust him? You just met him”. Iskander said looking like I said something wrong. “She is a female actually, But I address her by her third name since her first is Sarah.” I stopped to catch my breath. “Since Sarah is trying to kill me, we had to use another name” I added. “I see,” Iskander said slowly. Just then Soldier Bellion walked in, she reduced her pace as she stared at Iskander critically. “Is he your brother?” She asked as she stood between the both of us. “No no, he is not” I quickly responded. “I am so sorry,” Soldier Bellion said. “This is a first,” I said grinning. “First what?...” Soldier Bellion asked. “So you see the question usually goes ‘Is he your husband’ This is a first to be ‘Is he your brother?’ I explained softly to her. “I understand now” she nodded. “He is my bodyguard,” I told her. I

"I'm with some soldiers," I say, trying to keep my voice calm. "They're taking me somewhere safe.""Where are you?" Iskander asks again, his voice insistent. "I need to know where you are."I take a deep breath and tell him the location. I can hear him let out a sigh of relief. "I'm on my way," he says. "Just hold on."I nod, even though he can't see me. I'm just relieved that both of them were fine.The Soldiers guard me and Austin to their Barracks. They leave me with guards and a female soldier who attends to me. I could tell Austin was hungry. “Please Ma, can I get a spot to breastfeed my baby” I ask as Austin begins to whimper and stretch his arms towards my chest.“Surely there is, follow me,” she said with a smile. She walked me into a room that seemed like a dormitory. “You must be hungry, I'd get you something” she spoke with sympathy. “Oh no, it's fine I'm okay” I quickly replied not wanting to bother her. “You are a breastfeeding mother, I've been a mother too and if your

My heart suddenly went cold as tears streamed through my eyes. I heard Iskanders Car explode over the phone. For some reason, my eardrums seemed to be functioning. I looked down at Austin, whose blanket was adjusted for him to breathe. My son seemed to understand the situation as he didn't try to play or grab anything. He just fell asleep. I wanted to break down and curse out loud, why me? Why do I always have to be on the run?Suddenly I spot five cars from the side window. I needed no soothsayer, to let me know they were after me. My engine roared as I increased my speed and sped off, taking off one arm regularly to secure Austin.The trees and houses by the road almost felt like I was in the car race which I played as a kid. The wind was whizzing by as I raced down the road. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, my breath coming in gasps. I've never driven so fast in my life, but I know I have to get away from the men who are after me. I can see them in the rearview mirror,

The chef chuckled “You have such a bubbly kid, try this one” she said handing me another. It was awesome when it melted in my mouth, It wasn't ice cream but it was awesome. Iskander and the babysitter shook their heads in satisfaction. “Thank you so much for this” Iskander said as we rounded up and our stomachs filled to the brim.Austin had a swell time as he slowly fell asleep. “I'll see you all tomorrow, do have a good night's rest,” Iskander said as he left for his room. “Madam, should I take him for a bath” The babysitter asked as she tried to carry Austin. “No, don't worry I want to be with him, I'd bathe him myself” I replied as I waved her to her room.Bathing Austin was easy, he was barely awake except when the water touched his skin and he quickly slept off from there.I took my bathe and secured Austin with a pillow, kissing his forehead before my head hit the bed.Sarah strutted about the mansion “Why are these men finding it difficult to pick up a call !” she yelled to th

“My son is a clingy young man, moreover the baby supplies here are a bit harsh on his skin. We'd have to get new ones tomorrow”. I replied. “Aww, so that's what he was trying to tell us,” the babysitter said moving closer to him and rubbing his cheeks. Austin chuckled like one who was not about to bring down the roof with his wailing a few hours earlier. Iskander yawned loudly, Austin seemed to watch him as he even chuckled more. “Now you are laughing at me?” Iskander asked as he dragged his foot. Austin seemed to be In good spirits for the evening as he kept smiling and wouldn't let anyone, not even the babysitter touch him.“Guess what guys,” Iskander asked grinning. “You got a secret phone for Austin?” The babysitter responded. “Haha, that will be crazy,” I said laughing. Iskander looked stunned “That's some guess,” he said “but it's not correct” he added. “Fill us in already, I'm bored,” I said. “You can't be bored In Hawaii,” Iskander said. “Yeah I thought so until the stranges

The boy looked at them nervously. "What do you want?" he asked."We're looking for information," the other henchman said. "We're willing to pay for it." He pulled out a wad of cash from his pocket and held it out. "We need to know the room number of one of the guests." The bellboy's eyes widened at the sight of the money, he gasped as He glanced around, checking around to see if anyone was in sight. Then he took the cash and shoved it into his pocket. "What's the room number?" he asked, his voice low.“That's the information we need, we have the picture of the person” one of the henchmen replied. The boy's expression turned sour. "I don't know if I can do this," he said, looking confused. "I could get into huge trouble."But then the money was too much and way beyond his yearly salary he thought and he agreed to help. He led them to a secluded part of the hotel, where they planned on how to receive the information.Felicity's pov Back in the hotel room, I got hungry and quickly orde
