I was awoken by the sound of someone grunting. I blinked a few times to adjust to the light as I looked around. I spotted Zed on the bed sleeping with his gun on his chest. I stayed still trying to debate what was the best thing to do. He could be testing me and if I tried anything it will result in me getting either shot or a terrible slap.I couldn't sit here and think about that, this was my chance. I stood up slowly trying to be as quiet as I could. I knew the door was locked and the key was most likely in his pocket. The first thing I did was take up the jacket and took out the coins I saw earlier. My heart leapt from my chest when a few of the coins fell on the floor.He twitched but didn't wake up. I sighed in undeniable relief before calmly placing the jacket back to how it was. I went over to his side and notice the keys were right on the pillow next to him. I calmed my breathing and reached over hoping I wouldn't wake him. I took up the keys clutching them tightly so they w
I was awoken by someone shaking me. I opened my eyes and came face to face with Mordechai. I never felt more relieved to see someone else in my life. Without thinking I wrapped my arms around his neck and surprisingly he held my close to his body. His hands went to my cheeks as he checked my face for any injuries. He looked at my wrist and saw the small marks on them."Vanessa, tell me you're alright, your not hurt""I'm fine...I'm just so tired", I replied lazily as I rest my head on his chest. His hands gripped my waist tighter as he pulled me closer to him. We stayed like that for a few seconds before we were interrupted by Kayleigh."The men are coming back I think they know you're here, you have to go. There's a door around the back, it will lead you out front", she says as Mordechai took my hand."Thanks for everything", I say as Mordechai pulled me along with him. I only hope Zed doesn't hurt her because I don't think I would forgive myself. We saw the door she was talking abou
2 days laterIt was after nine in the morning and I still haven't gotten out of bed. I just felt like I should rest up today and I didn't know why. After the night I broke down and Mordechai actually calmed me down, he didn't ask anything more about my past. He gave me his couch to sleep on with enough blankets to survive a winter storm.The following morning he took me home and I told Devin everything that happened. After telling him he was suprised that Mordechai actually hugged me and dried my tears. I was even suprised myself that night because he seemed like a different person from my arrogant, self-centered boss. I guess everyone does have more than one side to their personalities.He gave me that day and today off and I will be returning to work tomorrow and I don't really know how to feel about it. I was going to face him again and I didn't know if he told anyone about what I told him. I don't really think he will it's just, I don't want anyone else to know from those that alr
Mordechai I stood with my hands in my pocket as the elevator takes me to the top floor where my father was. I felt I already knew what he was going to say. It was always the same thing about marriage. I'm still young and I have alot more to do before settling down with someone. Besides I wasn't even dating anyone and since me and Tiffany haven't been sleeping again, I wasn't having sex either.But that was the least of my worries ; I just want my dad off my case.The elevator came to a stop and I walked out and made my way to the office. As expected he was sitting around the desk with a finger tapping away at his lips. I took the seat next to him and waited for him to begin his speech. I was not looking forward to this.My mind drifted to Vanessa who I went to see today. After what she told me, I wasn't completely suprised. I already knew there was more to her than what meets the eye but I never knew it would be so complicated. Looking back I had no idea what made me actually went to
VanessaAs I thought, my desk was loaded with documents. I wasn't even going to complain because what's the point? I still had to get them done. I was finally back at work and everything felt normal. I haven't even spotted Mordechai as if he wasn't around.I sat around my desk and released a deep sigh. This was alot but it could take my mind off things. I was kind of stressed over my situation and I spent almost the rest of yesterday thinking about it. After Mordechai left I decided to watch a movie but my mind wasn't registering it. It was just somewhere else.In the next two months my contract would be up and I could leave New York freely. But was it what I wanted? It was all my mind was set on the day I took this job. But seeing how things are, I have no idea where in the world I could go and Zed doesn't find me. He already knew where I lived and I didn't want those around me to get hurt. It was only a matter of time before he takes me back.I was so deep in thought that I didn't r
Mordechai LenettiI didn't get enough sleep last night. I kept tossing and turning because I was so sexually frustrated. At any other time I would've called Tifanny but I broke off the contract with her. She was getting on my nerves with everything she does and she new better than that.But was it her I really wanted?I thought about that for a while. The scene of the stripper continously replayed in my head as I imagined she was Vanessa. Something was going on with me and I needed to figure it out. It's like her image keeps popping up in my head ; the way she moved, talked, dressed and how she always manage to try and challenge me.She was back at work today and my mind was in a different zone as if something unexpected will be happening. Upon entering the building I was greeted by Tifanny who stopped right infront of me. She was dressed in her usual short skirt, unbuttoned blouse and high heels attire. At one point those things would turn me on but not anymore. She was just trying t
VanessaI didn't see him back at work yesterday. After what happened in the office my mind was in a different state. I didn't know if he had any feelings for me or was it just pure lust. I knew he was pissed at how I challenged but I had to make my point. If he regretted making out with me then he shouldn't have done it in the first place. If he thinks it's so wrong then he should keep his hands off.Right now I was currently on my lunch break. I haven't spotted him all morning and to be honest I'm not sure if I wanted to see him back. My mind was clouded with too many thoughts. I was in the lounge room along with Olivia who was typing away on her phone. I laid back on the couch and stared up at the Mandala patterned ceiling. It was painted white but yout could see the outline of the beautiful designs.I didn't know how long I laid there deep in thought but when I got up Olivia was gone and was replaced by Mordechai. He sat there with his legs crossed and a hand on his chin. I laid ba
MordechaiI knew there was more to this than what my dad told me. He wouldn't give me any details on what type of meeting we were having in Paris. Something told me I was in for a suprise and not a very good one. We were currently seated on the private jet but he was occupied talking with the air hostess.I sat on the left side closest to the window. I've been wrapped up in my thoughts all week. I knew what I wanted and I knew the risk associated with what I wanted. It was such a dangerous feeling falling for someone who you least expected. But Vanessa captivated me in more ways than one. She was unique and it was her that I wanted.Last night I laid awake for a few hours just thinking of everything. Especially the woman who I had fallen for. Never had I thought that I would because we were just two different persons and at first she felt lower than me. But there was more to her than what met the eyes and I figured her out."What's on your mind son?", my dad ask as he took the seat on
~VanessaIt has been two years since I've been married and alot has happened. When I found out I was pregnant it was thrilling yet scary because I didn't have any experience. But when Melina was born having no experience didn't matter, I was going to love and care for her as a mother should.She was now one and a half years old with all her father's features. She had his nose, hair, lips and eyes. She was my everything. Mordechai's father had Alzheimers which was depressing because he was slowly losing his memories. The best thing was that he got to see his grandchild and spend a few decent moments with her.Julia had been sleeping with Devin for years now. It was a truth that revealed itself on it's own. What I mean? Mordechai caught them at Julia's place last year when he went to visit. I knew something was up but wasn't sure it would be this shocking. But they aren't in the city anymore. It wasn't any coincidence that the both of them just left the city nearly the same time.As for
"Give me the knife Vanessa".I held the knife tighter in my hands as I looked at him. My breathing was heavy and my legs were getting weak. His face was becoming more serious as the seconds went by. He started to come towards me and I ran out of the kitchen. He pulled me back by my hair erupting a scream from my chest. I fell on the floor hard and before he could pull me up I ran the knife through his side. His blood started to ooze out on my clothesNo, no, no am sorry!~I jumped up with a heartwrenching scream. My breathing was heavy as I looked around the room. I saw Mordechai rushing towards me and I held my hands out and wrapped them around him."It's ok baby am here, I'm here", he said as he held me close to him. I was on top of him as I rest my head against the crook of his neck. He rubbed my back as he tried to soothe me."It was a terrible nightmare", I say as I pulled away and looked at him. He wiped my eyes then I realized that I was crying. I was traumatized. I couldn't
VanessaI tried to steady my breathing as I tried to figure out my next step. I took the left and made my way down the corridor. I was beyond scared of getting caught because this was my only chance. There was only a small amount of illumination in the place. I crept in the dark making sure to keep my eyes and ears peeled.There was light coming from inside a room and I heard some shuffling. I tiptoed towards the room and peered in. There he was with his back turned looking at some files. One thing caught my eyes and that was his car keys. He started to move and I hurried to the small door I passed on my way.I went inside and listened as his footsteps got nearer and then fade as he walked past. There was no light so I couldn't see what kind of room it was or find anything useful. I opened the door when I felt it was clear and peeked out. I took the chance and went inside the room he was. I took up the keys and dashed out before I started running.I made my way down the huge stack of
MordechaiI stayed downstairs and allowed the men to do their job. They were currently searching Vanessa's room for any trace. Juilius was seated with his legs crossed as he hummed and played a game on his phone. The place seemed as if we were robbing a bank, guns were everywhere. These men were highly professionals.My phone started ringing and I checked to see it was my dad. I already explained the situation to him so why was he calling? I answered it anyways wondering what he was ready to argue about."Dad I already-"Your mom is leaving me", he said so fast that I almost didn't hear it."What? Why? What happened?", I asked a bit too loudly gaining Julius' attention."We were at home and she was going off about how I never loved her and she wants more that what I can give her. She looked me in the eyes and told me that she has a lover. I don't know where I went wrong son. I feel messed up right now. I don't think am gonna make it, my heart hurts", he said sounding so broken at the
VanessaI slowly opened my eyes and looked around. I sat up immediately when I realized I was in a car. I tried to move my hands but they were handcuffed together. My heart started to race as my mind caught up to me as I remembered what happened.Franco abused my body in the worst way possible but he didn't penetrate me, thank God!. Zed had really sold me to him and so here I was, handcuffed in his car headed to where ever he was taking me. "You're awake, how are you feeling?", he asked glancing over his shoulder at me. I didn't reply as I glared at him."Come on baby, was I that rough with you?".I clenched my jaw as I stared out the window. He was sick and twisted. The way he used my body for his own pleasure. I was slapped, forced to orgasm and the worst part, being gagged. All that time my body felt numb. I didn't look at him or even make a sound. The worst feeling ever was being helpless. There was nothing I could've done.I feel so broken and shattered. What does life really ha
Mordechai I didn't show up at the office yesterday or today. I haven't even answered any calls from my dad. I just couldn't handle anything right now. I took another sip from the Jack Daniels bottle that I was holding. It's been a two days since I talked to Vanessa. Her words kept replaying in my head. I thought thought would've fight harder but she didn't.I've tried calling her but there was no answer. Was she trying to erase me from her mind already? It couldn't be. I miss seeing her beautiful face and those mesmerizing eyes. I wanted to scream and shout and trash the place. Just to release my frustration on something. Maybe I should go see her.I stood up and went to the closet and took out a shirt. I just hoped she hasn't left the city yet because that would be all hope lost. I took up my keys and phone before leaving the room. Life doesn't make sense if you can't be with the one you want.I was so eager to see her again. A part of me still wished that she would've fight a litt
VanessaI stood infront of the mirror just staring at myself. After Alexa left Zed came in and commanded me to take a shower and get dressed. I was now standing infront of the mirror in nothing but a Strawberry lingerie. I knew what was in store for me and I had no idea how to stop it. My eyes were sad and my face was pale.I miss Mordechai. I missed my freedom. I missed everything. I looked around the room as I pulled my hair in frustration. I tried to figure out a way to escape but where would I go? I have no money and all I had was a small suitcase of clothes. I didn't even have my phone.The door opened and Zed came in. He was dressed in casual jeans and a short sleeved shirt that showed off all his tattoos. He looked at me as if I was some prize he has just won. "Beautiful. Your client for tonight is a very special one and he wants all night with you. Let's go love", he said sticking his hand out for me to take it. When I didn't his face turned serious."Vanessa, you're testing
VanessaI couldn't breathe. There was this terrible pain in my chest preventing me from getting the oxygen I needed. They say things happened unexpected and falling in love with Mordechai wasn't something I planned for. Now I knew I did but that wasn't the tough part, pulling away was. It was such a tough thing to do because I knew I had hurt him.His father would never accept me and worst he knew about my past. After I got a call from Alexa I felt content because I haven't heard from her in so long. You could hear the sadness in her voice and sometimes I wondered if she wanted to run away with me from day one but was too scared.Then Mordechai called and I felt messed up about the whole situation. I have no regrets about sleeping with him or falling for him. I just wish things were different but reality was what it was. I laid on my side as I overthink everything. Say we both decided to fight and be in a relationship, his father would despise me to the bone. And then he would be disa
Mordechai I ignored all the stares as I made my way to the elevator. All my father told me over the phone was that he wanted to see me immediately and it better be alone. There was something off about what he said making me think that he knew I was with someone last night. He also sounded pissed to the point that I thought I was talking to someone else.The elevator came to a stop and I stepped out. The top floor was empty as I made my way to the office. I knocked before entering and saw my dad sitting drinking a glass of wine. When he saw me he stood up and that's when I noticed his stern expression. "Mordechia, can you please explain why you're having an intimate relationship with your stripper assistant?"I stared at him as I registered what he just said. How did he know that? I bit my bottom lip as I figured out how he knew about Vanessa's past and our intimate interactions. I was still staring at him and by this time if smoke could emerge from an angry person, he would be in fl
