Dinner had ended on a tense note with Sheena at the receiving end of most of it. She was grateful to return to the confines of her room. She had barely touched her food and she wasn't the only one guilty of this.Mirabel and Michelle had barely touched theirs too. They instead, fed off the intense hate glares they directed at Sheena.The day had been very eventful for Sheena. She never asked for any of this. She felt too young to carry all that life was throwing at her. At her age, she would be expected to live life, attending wide parties and having blissful sex. Although Sheena was not one to live life attending parties and sleeping with strangers she was certain this wasn't the way to live for anyone her age. Sheena's mind lingered on sleeping with strangers. She thought of Jake in that instance. How wonderful he had been to her. She had imagined her first time to be fairytale perfect and Jake made it all that.Like in the movies, meet a stranger and have wild passionate lovemaki
Jake stood by his room window overlooking the city, he stared at the view absentmindedly. The window provided its occupant a wide-range view of the city, the colorful lighting, and the people as they go about their businesses but without all the noise.He occupied the top floor of one of the most expensive condos in London. He could afford it. He was rich.He stood by the window wearing nothing but his skin. He had just finished romping with his girlfriend Annabelle. He was supposed to feel satiated, exhausted but satiated. But he didn't feel any of these right now.He was disturbed. His mind was elsewhere, wandering to a place where it shouldn't; Sheena. He just couldn't stop thinking about her.He recalled their last meeting. He could still taste her lips in his when he had kissed her. The feel of her silk molds against his hands. He felt himself growing hard again.He was still mad at her for keeping such an important detail of being engaged from him. He couldn't forget the fact th
A bright light suddenly shone from the open windows against Sheena's closed eyes, waking her up. She shifted from the very uncomfortable position she had taken on the floor.She grunted in pain. Her whole body ached. Sleep had eluded her the whole night. Only until the wee hours of the morning did she let herself slip into a conscious nap as it were.Sheena remained alert like a guard on watch the whole night. She couldn't believe Mr Dominic would let her off the hook just like that. She anticipated his return at any moment, changing his mind and going back on his word.She stretched herself, her bones popping with each movement. She yawned tiredly as she tried to locate the source of the sudden brightness in the room.Her eyes still hazy from sleep, caught the outline of a figure standing by the window. Sheena's adrenaline kicked in and she scampered to her feet immediately, ignoring the pain she felt in her joints.'Good morning ma'am!' Sheena's vision cleared to reveal the tall sl
'You shouldn't take their words to heart.' A small sweet voice spoke, making Sheena turn to see her companion.Sheena turned to see Mary, the youngest of Mr Dominic's daughters smiling down at her.After what had happened in the kitchen, Sheena had taken solace in the garden, sulking, crying her eyes out, and drowning in self-pity. She regretted ever being born.She swiped at her eyes and bowed her head to hide her teary face from Mary. She wasn't even sure how Mary knew what had happened. And like Mary could read thoughts, she answered her unspoken question.'Maria told me what happened.' Mary said to Glenda as she stooped close to Sheena, sitting beside her.Sheena sniffed. 'It's fine.' She responded in a frail voice as more tears dropped from her eyes.'No, it's not. Mirabel and Michelle can be very vicious. They are very greedy and think you're here to claim your father's wealth. Dad is not getting any younger.' Mary explained, trying to calm Sheena and excuse her sisters.'I have
Jake did not expect to see Sheena with Mary. He had called his younger siblings with whom he was closest to in the Rollins house to hang out with her.He needed to unwind and he couldn't think of any other person than Mary. He didn't want to be drowned in booze and judging and so he avoided his friends.He was glad he had chosen to call Mary because it afforded him seeing Sheena again.Jake had been unable to get Sheena out of his mind. She was "the a lot" on his mind that had prevented him from being so productive at work.He was still mad at her and kept telling himself he didn't want to ever see her again. But his heart kept yearning for Sheena. It felt like poison in his system but now, only staring down at her felt like an antidote.The sight of her was calming, soothing and refreshing. And as though controlled by an unknown force, he had extended his hand to her for a truce. And when she took his hand, it took every being in him not to pull her into his arms and ravish her.'I d
Sheena's words were all the justification Jake needed to pursue her. He had been fighting with himself from seeing all the things that could go wrong and forget this forbidden romance that was stirring within him. Now, he was going to let go of all the reasons and pursue her.Jake dropped Sheena back at the house quite late. They had remained at "La Cafe" after their truce just talking. Sheena went on to relate how she ended up being married to his father. After listening to her, Jake saw how wrong he had judged her. Guilt and regret tugged at his heart for causing her so much pain with his words and he apologized again before taking her home.Jake was parked in front of the house. He sat in his car watching as Sheena walked up to the front door and disappeared into the house.Sheena walked into the mansion wearing a smile. Something that has eluded her for the past few days. She felt relieved like a heavy weight had been lifted off her shoulders after talking to and spending time wi
Jake stood at the door staring at the scene before him. He had missed the assault on Sheena but he had met her in tears on the floor and Dominic's back to her. Sheena's crying face and the way the other family members stood watching had prompted him to ask the question. It felt like a funeral in the house.'What's going on here?' A female's voice spoke from behind him too.Jake and the others turned to the door to see Mary entering the house.'Are you just coming in?' Mr Dominic asked, directing his question to Mary who had entered the house.'Yes.' She replied curtly. Her eyes roved around the room to understand what was happening.Mary's eyes fell on Sheena and the surprise on her face could not be missed.'Didn't you say you were out with her?' Mr Dominic asked Sheena. He had his eyes on Sheena but his fingers pointed to Mary.Sheena was too exhausted to even respond. She nods positively to his question, afraid that her speaking may incur his wrath.'Uhm yes, she was out with me f
Sheena was quick to dock behind the kitchen counter before the intruder flicked on the lights. She couldn't afford to be caught alone with her husband's son in the dark.Jake remained standing, awaiting the appearance of the intruder.'You! And if it isn't the bastard son of the Rollins.' Mirabel threw at Jake, eyeing him down with disgust and contempt lacing her voice.'And if it isn't the eldest witch of the Rollins.' Jake returned with a stoic expression.'What are you doing here?''I could ask you the same question.' Jake replied indifferently, taking up a glass and filling it with water.'I live here! This is my house!' She defended.'As it is mine.' Jake replied calmly.'Who were you talking to?' Mirabel asked and advanced towards him, straining her head to look around him.Fearing Mirabel would discover Sheena, Jake eyed the corner where Sheena had hidden and noticed she was no longer there. He relaxed a little but wondered where she could have gone.He turned to Mirabel with r
