Mordechai drove into his garage at what seemed like a penthouse. The place was getting dark and all I wanted to do was go home and take a nice shower then get some rest. My mind couldn't even decipher what he brought me here for. It was funny because he despised me and for a person my status ; he would never want me at his place."Get out and follow me".I glared at him for a few seconds before exiting the car. I crossed my arms over my chest and followed behind him. We went to an elevator and I stepped in before the door closed. He pressed a button and I went to the corner and rest my head against the walls. I just wanted to lay down and rest my body.The elevator came to a stop and the door opened revealing darkness. He walked out but I stood still. I was thinking of just pressing the button to go back down when the lights came on. I stepped out and started examining the place. It was beyond words ; it was very expensive too.We were in what seemed like a lounge room and it was very
VanessaOpening my eyes I clutched my head instantly as I felt a headache coming on. I sat up slowly blinking a few times as I adjusted to the light. I was in my room but how did I get here? I don't remember reaching home.I pulled the covers off as I stood up and saw that I was still in my work clothes. There was an ice bag on the small table beside my bed. On the other side of the room I saw my bag and some of the files were beside it.Then everything started coming back to me.Zed tried to choke me and then he slapped me. I touched my cheek and I flinched from the ache. Then Devin showed up and he somehow managed to take me home. I was so grateful for that. I knew I had an explanation to give him. Maybe this was the time he knew about my past.After changing into something simple I went to the bathroom. I stared in horror as I examined my face. There was a red mark on my cheek and my hair looked like I was fighting with a dog. I brushed my teeth and washed my face before leaving th
Vanessa Collins"Not listening to my orders was one thing but not showing up for work without letting me know, is a totally different story", was his first words but I kept my mouth shut. I seriously wasn't in the mood for this.He was dressed in a dark grey suit and his hair was a bit messy but still shiny. He placed his hands in his pockets as he looked at me. His face became blank as he eyed me up and down. What's with men not controlling their eyes especially at a time like this?. I sighed as I rest my head on the door."Mr. Lenetti, fancy seeing you here", I heard Franco said as he came to the door and kept looking at Mordechai. The room felt somewhat heavy and I turned and went to sit down. My body was in a state that I couldn't explain. I watched as they shook each other's hands but there was something not welcoming about it.He sat on the couch opposite of me but Franco sat back exactly where he was. Only thing was that he wasn't straddling my body. My arms got goosebumps as t
Stella Newton I pushed the door opened and saw the woman who gave birth to me siting up in bed, sipping on some tea and watching television. She smiled brightly at me as I returned it with tears filling my eyes. She placed the cup on a table beside the bed before I engaged her in a long warm hug."I missed you mom""I miss you too sweetie, she replied rubbing my back with the smile that never left her face. I pulled away and sat in the chair beside her bed." So how's work? "" I lost my job but I got a new one as a maid""really? That's great. How long have you been working?, she said showing so much interest in my new job choice." A few months "She nodded her head and then there was silence. I missed her. Her face wasn't as pale as before and her lips looked healthy and I couldn't help but smile.The door opened and doctor brown came in and a huge smile leapt to his face when he saw me." Miss Newton, how are you?""I'm fine and you?""Great"He asked mom a few questions before t
Stella I watched from the top of the stairs as Amanda's parents - well her mom - blabbed on her phone about what not. Her father seemed rather quiet and peaceful as he sat down in one of the couches and watched his wife rambled on.Its been two days since what Daryl told me about Amanda and to say the least, I didn't expect that from her. When I first came here she was nice and seemed like the perfect the wife - but I was wrong.After we came home that day I came across Amanda who was in the living room in her robe sipping a glass of wine. Daryl didn't spare her a glance or a word as he passed her and went to his room. She watched him deeply before she got up and followed behind him. I didn't listen their conversation because I thought - what was the point?Amanda had no clue about the fact that Daryl and even I, knew about her unfaithfulness. I just didn't understand why Daryl hadn't confronted her about it. He would only ignore her or say a few meaningless words which would result
Stella "Home sweet home" I watched as mom examined our home with a smile on her face. I took her bag to her room before going back downstairs to see her in deep, deep thought. "mom? What's wrong?, I asked going beside and wrapping my arms around her." I'm just overwhelmed you know? Apart of me was thinking that I wouldn't be here today". "Well you're here, and right now is the happiest I've ever been". I gave her a small smile before hugging her and kissing her cheek. After I pulled away I went to the bag with a few groceries that I bought and started preparing some soup for her. The doctor said that she must consume soft foods for now; maybe in the next few months she can start eating solid foods.After chopping some potatoes and dropping them in the pot, I saw my phone that was on the kitchen isle screen lit up and I took it up to see I got a message from Brad. I opened the message before reading it:I know a made a mistake by hurting you in the past but no one is perfect, We
few days laterStella "You found someone else didn't you!?"I watched as Amanda shouted at Daryl who was sitting on the couch, in the living room, with his legs crossed while sipping a glass of wine. He didn't looked moved at all by her shouting as he continued to ignore her. Her face held all types of emotions as she balled her fists while glaring at Daryl."Is she better than me?! What did she have that I didn't?! Is it because of her that's why you're treating me like this!? Like a stranger!?."Daryl was still unmoved. My own emotions I couldn't even explain. It was really hard to think that Amanda is so oblivious to her infedilty with Leon. It was like she couldn't figure out that her husband found out long ago and that's why he's acting this way."You still have no clue do you?", Daryl said staring at her with a raised eyebrow. His eyes met mine for a brief second before directing them back to Amanda."Clue to what!?, Amanda said throwing her hands in the air before placing them
Stella "Thank you for coming" I nodded and looked at Jackson who sat across from me in the small cafe he said he wanted me to come to. He was dressed casually for the first but his appearance was on point. I took off my bag and placed my hands in my lap. A waiter came up to us and he ordered two coffee because the morning was still early and I haven't had anything warm yet."First, I wanted to say that I am sorry for judging you and -I looked at him and he sighed. He ran his hand through his hair before removing it and placing it on the table. " I talked to Daryl. He said he wants a divorce from Amanda ".I knew Daryl had already made up his mind about that. He wants her out of his life. She was nothing to him anymore. "I didn't expect this from her ; she was the perfect girl for my son - well, so I thought"I still remained quiet. I was honestly speechless. There wasn't really anything much I could say. " As for you and him affa - I mean contract, I don't really have anything t
~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
