Chapter 87
(I want you)
Sophia’s POV
“I can’t believe dad will decide to do this to me..it’s wrong” I scoff, bringing out a pack of cigarette from my drawer. Yea, I smoke, but it’s still a secret to everyone, because I know how to keep it low. I lighted a stick taking a hard drag as my phone rings
“Hello” I muttered with a gruff voice as the caller’s voice came up
“Hello ma’am”
“Any news on where they are?” I asked, puffing out balls of smoke
“Not yet ma’am…but we traced them to Texas..it’s won’t be long before we get hold of her”
“That’s a bit of good news, but I want more…I’m giving you two weeks to get me her head…and if you fail, consider your head rolling” I threatened
“We won’t fail you..”
“Good” I stated and hang the call, with a smirk
“Hmm….everyone thought they have won, but they will be surprise when they find out that this is just the beginning, even that father of mine won’t be exempted. Emma and Nina whom I claim to be my best friend, are worst than Judas Iscariot; too bad they will also join him in hell” I let out a hieratical smile, bring out a pot of stash from my drawer. Don’t be surprised, I’m also a stoner.

Aiden’s POV
.
I tried Ariel’s number for the last time again but it wasn’t going through. I cursed, flinging the phone across the room as it shattered after coming in contact with the hard wall
“Damn…where has Axel taken her to…f**k that asshole..what is he getting at..” I gritted, taking a gulp of the wine in my hand. I’m not a fan of alcohol, but I have no choice than to take one right now..i think I’m going crazy.
Is Axel trying to get back at me for what I had with Flora, or what the hell is going on? It’s been more than a week now since they left, and I can’t get a clue on where they are. I have messaged him online, but he ain’t checking his messages. If he is thinking of making her his, then he is trying to bring out the beast in me, because I didn’t hurt him one bit. What happened with flora was a set up work, and not intentional.
I believed he destroyed the tracking device in her bracelet, damn…what the f**k is wrong with that guy? I scoff, taking more gulps from the liquor. I was beginning to feel tipsy, but it’s better than being emotionally down..i can’t get Ariel out of my head..but where the hell is she?
I smashed the glass cup on the floor with anger, as I tried to get up from the bed, but staggered back. The door flung open with Josephine coming in, she gasp on seeing the mess I had created in the room.
“Aiden…what are you doing…” She muttered coming closer to me..but all I was seeing was a blurry vision, I was hearing loud bangs in my head like it was about to explode. I groan trying to get up but she held me down
“You need to lie down, why are you drinking..i thought you are allergic to it?” She asked with concern, trying to take off my drench shirt
“I’m not that allergic fool…alcohol can’t make me sick..”
“Hey you are drunk….geez…you shouldn’t be drinking even if you ain’t allergic…it’s not good for your health” She continued to say other things which my mind couldn’t process; all I could see in her is her curvy and enticing body. My rod sprang up at the sight of her erected te@ts from beneath her cloths.
She laid me gently on the bed and was about leaving when I grabbed her hand, dragging her closer to my body. She gasps and tried to wriggle her hand from my grip, but that’s almost impossible. The lion in me has been awoken, I don’t even know why I’m doing this, but all I know is that, I need to calm this urge.
“Aiden….stop!!! you are hurting me?” I heard her scream, but it sounded like a mo@n to me. I flipped her downward to take a better position.
“I want you” I whispered into her ears, placing a soft kiss on it
~~
Josephine’s POV
“Aiden….stop!!! You are hurting me?” I screamed, but he isn’t bulging“I want you” he whispered trialing kisses down my neck, sending sparks of shivers down my spine, I felt my leg wobbles, I was already feeling hot in my lower region. I would have loved to have this when he is in his right state of mind, but no…I can’t now…he is drunk. He pinned me to the bed, giving me no chance to struggle.
“No no..Aiden…we can’t do this….please..get off me..grannie Naomi won’t like this…please” I beckoned, hitting his shoulder
“She won’t mind…” He groan…cupping my bre@st. I let out a slight mo@n, gosh what’s he doing to me
“No…no…Aiden…no…i—am…I am a v!rgin…please” I shiver in fear. He stopped and stared at me for a while, I was beginning to believe he will stop. I really want him to continue..but it’s not right…if he takes me now, he might not remember. But his responses pulled me off guard, he replied calmly like he was already sober. Perhaps he is not allergic to alcohol, but Axel is.
“I won’t hurt you Josephine…I promise..” he muttered with a soft and calm look. I was forced to stay still, looking into his precious eyes. I have always wanted him for myself, but things happened the way we don’t want most times. I pray I don’t regret this moment, but if he had promised, then I believe he won’t hurt me.
I was still in a deep faze when I felt his warm lips on mine.

Late into the night, Ariel opened the door of her room striding down the stairs. She made sure she is well covered to avoid the embarrassment of last time. She was about passing into the kitchen, when she sighted a figure lying on the floor, right inside the dining room. The whole light of the house were on, and she had wondered why Axel didn’t turn it off before going to bed. This just confirmed her curiosity, he didn’t go to bed.
She was tempted to walk closer to him when a strong smell of alcohol hits her nose.
“Did he get himself drunk? She asked no one in particular, going to squat beside him. She shrieks at the touch of his skin; it was burning hot and could bake pie if possible.
“Oh my gawd…Axel…Axel…wake up” She panicked, tapping his arm, but he didn’t move, only make sound gibberish sounds, breathing out hot breathe.
She almost poked on sighting the mess he had made in the floor. He had vomited all the content of the alcohol he took. The drink is a 70% percent alcoholic drink, why the hell will he take it, when he is clearly allergic to it, she thought, trying to figure out a way in helping him into his room. She will have to climb the stairs, and carrying him will just be a waste of time, because she won’t be able to lift him.
He mumbled a strange word again, coughing slighting, his breath seem to be going away and this panicked her the more. They are the only ones in the room. Paulo doesn’t live with them, and she doesn’t know anyone to call. Damn it, her phone isn’t with her, and if it was, who will she reach around here. She will just have to take care of him herself, she will go for a home remedy to calm the burning hotness, and prays it works.
“Axel…Axel..please you will have to help me here..i can’t lift you on my own, please try to get up a bit..why are you doing this to yourself…are you getting nut” She cried, tears already sticking on her cheeks. She braced herself up and dragged him up, with a groan. She placed his right hand on her shoulder, supporting him with her left hand around her. She forced her legs to move, dragging his already relaxed body, on her.
“You are gonna be ok…please don’t give up…i’m gonna get angry with you if you try anything stupid..we are almost in your room…come on”
She managed to drag him up the stairs into his room where she laid him on the bed, pulling off his shirt as he was left in only his trousers.
She rushed down to pick a bowl of water with towel, dipping it into the bowl as she squeeze it and massage it on his body.
She kept doing that until she is sure that his temperature is coming low. She sighs tired, feeling his pulse, it is still normal. His breathing level is also in a normal pace. She stared at his face; it looks calm and innocent.
“Huhn…he isn’t innocent…” She scoffs, at her subconscious mind and yawn. She has been trying to keep him calm for the past two hours, how does time fly that fast, she thought. She went out to keep the bowl and towel, coming back to cover him properly before leaving for her room. Their rooms are really close, so she will be able to hear any sound that comes from there, and that’s if she doesn’t sleep deep. She is really tired now and needs a good rest.
She was just five minutes into her sleep when she had a loud shout from his room. He is at it again; the nightmare. She didn’t know when she jumped off the bed, rushing into his room as she tried holding him down. He was struggling with the bed covers, covering his ears as he cries profusely
“Leave me alone….I didn’t mean to hurt you..no..” he gritted
“Shh…Axel…Axel…please stop this…gosh…Axel…Axel..I’m right here…stop the scream…you are making me scared..we are alone here…someone might barge in…Axel please” She busted into tears as he calm down a bit. He flicker his eyes open, gasping for breath; his chest moving upward and downward. He moved his eyes to look at her, breathing heavily as he caresses her cheek.
“Wh-why are you crying?” He asked softly, looking daze
“Stop f**king asking me why…you are scaring me with all your drama…” She sobs
“I—I—I’m sorry..” he shuttered, still looking calm. She nodded
“Please don’t leave me…stay with me…” he beckoned with a pout. She sighs
“Fine…just go back to sleep..you need enough of it to recover..”
He nodded as within two seconds, he drifted back to sleep. She heaved a sigh of relief, looking at him, having a divided thought. Perhaps she will just sleep here tonight; he might start another drama if she leaves. She went ahead and locked the room door, before slipping under the blanket, but she made sure that she kept enough space between them, before drifting into the dream land.

The Next Morning
Ariel’s POV
I woke up with a loud yawn as I tried moving my petite body but couldn’t freely do that. I felt something heavy around my waist and it was preventing me from moving. I looked at it and saw Axel’s arm, wrapped around by body, with my back pressing his chest. His face is also close to my neck as I could feel his breath, but he doesn’t seem like he is sleeping.
I tried moving again when I heard his voice…Tsk. He is awake, but why is he holding me
“Please don’t move..let’s stay this way for a while” He mumbled, holding me closer. I couldn’t deny the fact that I felt warm in his arm, but why is he doing this?
“How are you feeling now?” I asked, raising my hand backward to touch his hair. I felt him stiffen before releasing a breath
“I’m fine…just a little bang of headache…I believe you brought me here last night…I’m grateful” he nibbled on the nape of my neck
“Hey stop…” I whined, trying to force him not to continue, but no doubt, I like it
I really made a mess yesterday..i’m sorry for causing you stress…”
“It’s ok…but I need to leave now…the house needs to be cleaned”
“I didn’t bring you here to stress yourself, Paulo will be here for that…he will bring in someone to do that…” he muttered kissing my hair
“What are you doing Axel…” I asked and he stopped for a while, but didn’t let me go. Suddenly, he flipped me over, laying on top of me, while my back hits the soft bed sheet
“Axel..” I called with panic..looking into his lovely blue eyes. He rested on my chest, his face just below my breast as he stared at me with a smile on his face. I was confused at first stance but only had to return the smile. Is he ok, my subconscious ask
“I don’t think so” I replied. I think he is behaving strange, or is this part of the drink’s reaction..making him act insane..
“Stop looking at me that way..i’m not mad” he stated as I heave a sigh; it’s more like he just read my mind.
“Ariel…” he called, shifting himself upward a bit.
“What?” I whispered
“Are you in a relationship?” his question came like a piercing sword. Why is he asking this? He should know about me and his brother, but am I really dating Aiden, no. But he asked me out, and I’m yet to give him a reply. If I say yes, then that means I’m ready to accept Aiden. But if I say no…what does he wants with me?
“Who do you want among the two brothers? My subconscious asked as I gulp down nothing. Now is the right time I need my mother, I have been struggling with all this alone, not having an elderly person to put me through. I don’t want to make a wrong decision. I think I love the both of them..weird right? I’m in love with two brothers, how does that sound like. But I need to choose, who will I choose? My eyes locked with Axel’s, and I noticed that he had been staring why I had wandered into the land of thoughts.
“I will take your silence for a no; perhaps Aiden hasn’t done his part..” he muttered. What does he mean by Aiden hasn’t done his part. I was about speaking out to ask him when I felt his face closer to mine.
“I promise you Ariel….I-I won’t hurt you..trust me…I can’t hold it any longer..I love you” He whispered. I my heart beating against my chest with full speed as he said that word; my body is already reacting to his touch. I need to do something…this can’t be happening…
“Axel…Axel…” I mo@n, as I felt his lips on my earlobe
“Trust me Ariel…”
“No it’s not that….i-i….i’m a v!rgin…” I shivered beneath him. He stared at me with a smile
“I know…..i want you…”
Within a twinkle of an eyes, I felt his lips on mine, taking full control
Chapter 88(Confused Feelings)Aiden’s POV“Gosh..I messed up big time..I shouldn’t have done it, but my urge was irresistible” I cursed softy, remembering last night scene. I almost had my way with her; if grannie Naomi’s voice hadn’t ring out behind the door, then it would have been a different case. She had actually been looking for Josephine and decided to come tell me about her getting missing suddenly, not knowing she was in with him. We flipped of each other, as Josephine made for the door.She managed to convince Grannie that she was only checking on me, being that I was depressed and getting myself drown in drinks I was still a bit tipsy though, but was conscious of what was happening around me. Grannie Naomi scolds me for some time, warning me not to go near hot liquors again. And that was all I could remember before drifting into a long sleep. I
Chapter 89(Where is mum?)Africa~~Ariel’s POVI was so excited to breath in the fresh air, as we came down from the plane. Axel had fulfilled his promised of bringing me here to see mum, and I can’t tell how happy I am. It’s been months since I left home; coming back here is more like a relief. They are my people, the culture is perfect, different for the western culture, but I still love it even if it seems attic.We lodge in a hotel to get enough rest before proceeding to the slum where mum resides, or let’s say my former home. Axel has been himself this few days, none of us talked more on what happened the other day, but I think I’m cool not speaking about it, it’s better that way.“What route should I take” Axel muttered from the wheels. We had rented a car for the main time, before leaving.
CHAPTER 93 (BLACK OUT)Police Headquarters~~ “Start talking” Noah muttered as he sat opposite Axel. He just arrived as he decided to know what move the police are taking“Erm..i’m sorry Mr. Jenkins” Axel stated He scoffed“You are sorry…you left for good three weeks, without allowing anyone reach you and all you can say is sorry..what has gotten over you this kid” He snapped. Axel’s head was bowed as he continue to plead“Fine…now tell me, how was she kidnapped and what are they doing about it.” He asked referring to the police“We had an argument, and erm…she left in tears without allowing anyone to go with her. We never knew she had left until her message came into my phone seeking for help in an unknown location”“We?”“Yes..I was with Aiden”“Fine go on…”“We watched the footage of how she left my house into the woods; the live cameras captured the faces of those men who kidnapped her. They were four and a lady. Their records are being worked on; they will be tracked before the
OutlineThis story is about a beautiful young 19-years-old teenage girl, Ariel, who was forced to choose between two brothers. The beginning of her life wasn’t what she wished it to be.

CHAPTER TWO(The Offer)“I’m not doing this because I want you to become a model, fine, it’s part of it..but I want the best for you. You can get the chance to see your father over there in America. Your father is fucking rich, but we are here dying in hunger, I don’t want you to live the life I lived. Just take good look at me, I am sick but couldn’t get the best treatment for myself…no money to go to the hospital, only this fucking herbs are what I’m using. I might die any moment from now” she cried out“Mum no one is dying..stop saying that” Ariel snapped“Then do what I want Ariel…save your ass from this suffering. Go with Miss Peggy to the states and find a suitable job for yourself. Find your father also. I can’t be with you here forever…..”“But mum, I thought we talked about…..”“Fine….if you don’t wanna go…it’s just fine…fine” Gina throw her hands into the air, and went to stand beside the window, staring out as tears roll down here eyes.Ariel stares at her mum as she sobs,
CHAPTER THREE(Mission 1)“Someone already occupied my position, my boss employed someone else”“But why, you were sick, you didn’t skip work intentionally and whereas, you took a leave…”“But stayed beyond the expected time, I was supposed to resume last week”“You weren’t strong enough, your boss knew that” Ariel flared in anger“That’s life for you, baby”“Hmm…so what are we gonna do now our combined salary for a month is barely enough for our feeding” Ariel pouted, cleaning the tears off her mum’s eyes“I will try to get a new job, perhaps work as a cleaner in the library” she coughs, cleaning her stains of tears on her cheek“Getting a job is rare this days; especially at the library” Ariel cooed, her mum shrug“Well, one just has to try” Gina breathed out“Mum??”“What is it?”“About what Miss Peggy offered?”Ariel said, arranging the bed cover“So? What about it?”“I thought about it…and I guess it’s a good idea. I have made up my mind; I will go with her to the states and take
CHAPTER FOUR(The Escape Plan)Three days later**Getting to the airport wasn’t a big deal; Miss Peggy made sure Ariel’s papers were complete and everything was set for the journey. Gina also tag along to see her daughter off, she was not alone; other girls were also there. Perhaps Miss Peggy offered them also such opportunity, as they seem delighted leaving for a white man’s country. Ariel only watched the girls brag about how they will explore the whole country when they arrive there, they were all black unlike her being a half-breed, and about ten in number.Her mind was occupied with the fact that her mum will be left alone in the world of the black, and how is she gonna cope without her, she thought. Gina seems to read the thought of her daughter, as she taps her and smiled“I know you will miss me, same as I will miss you. But we need to do this, breaking apart seem weird and hard for us, being that we grew up to know each other, not just as mother and daughter but also as frie
CHAPTER FIVE(She is cute)They were coming back from the supposed show meant for Axel, and were in a hurry to get home“No, I did not hit her” Aiden defended himself“But she looks lifeless, I guess she fainted, what are we gonna do…perhaps we take her to the hospital” Ryan muttered“No”“No????” Ryan yelp“Let’s take her to my house, she might wake up tomorrow and find her way”“Oh really…gosh..She is such a damsel..so pretty…what will a pretty girl be doing out here in this quiet place” he asked no one in particular. Aiden sighed frustratingly“Ryan..Will you stop admiring her beauty and help me lift her into the car, Gosh..you are so annoying” Aiden snapped“Fine…ok..let’s take her in…***********Smiling mischievously, Ariel walked down the corridor of a glamorous mansion. Her hair was perfectly designed and her cloth, filled with colourful embroideries, making her looks like a princess. She walked further to the balcony, in order to behold the beautiful sight of the city, cramme

Yea, I smoke, but it’s still a secret to everyone, because I know how to keep it low. I lighted a stick taking a hard drag as my phone rings“Hello” I muttered with a gruff voice as the caller’s voice came up“Hello ma’am”“Any news on where they are?” I asked, puffing out balls of smoke“Not yet ma’am…but we traced them to Texas..it’s won’t be long before we get hold of her”“That’s a bit of good news, but I want more…I’m giving you two weeks to get me her head…and if you fail, consider your head rolli

Gina sighed“So what can I offer you both…gosh..I’m sorry..there isn’t any drink at home for now…perhaps water will do first while I go down the street to get you some drinks&rdqu
Chapter 85(Punishment)AFRICA.“Hmm…it’s so good to be home..just take a look at how fresh the air smells” Miss Peggy breathed in as she and Scarlet made their way to Ariel’s former house.“Yuck…this place stinks…” Scarlet grimace, as she frowns“It’s a slum dummy, you won’t expect everywhere to be pleasant..will you?”“I still prefer my country’s slum…this place is more like a dump” Scarlet stated“I think you have forgotten that this is still my country, and I won’t take that insult from you Scarlet.There are other places that are safe and nice..don’t judge a book by its cover “ Miss Peggy muttered sternly. Scarlet rolled her eyes.“Are we there already” Scarlet asked with a stressed
Chapter 84(Curiosity)Cottage~~ Ariel’s POVI woke up yawing loudly as I stretch my bones; it made cracking sounds as I pull the blanket off my body. I noticed feeble sun rays invading the room through the window. Gosh…It’s morning already….nope it’s not morning..it’s already noon, I shriek jumping out of bed after glancing at the wall clock.“Did I really sleep for that long? And where is Axel?” I asked no one in particular.“You won’t be expecting him to be beside you when you wake up duh…” My subconscious replied as I rolled my eyes. My stomach made annoying noises which means that it needed to be fed. I walk sluggishly to the bathroom; well Axel actually showed it to me yesterday. I quickly freshen up; pulled out a cloth from my box and wore it.I made my way out, looking fresh after a warm bath as I head down the short steps that lead to the living room. Axel is actually not in his room, and I’m beginning to wonder if he hasn’t left me alone here, not until a sweet smell waft t
Chapter 83(See You In Court)Texas City~~Axel’s POV.I turned off the ignition, just after parking in front of a cottage. The journey was smooth being that Ariel decided to fall asleep; she has been crying silently before falling asleep. Right now, we are miles away from Cape Town; in the outskirt of Texas City, where the sea, that links to another country is.I own the little cottage that stood few meters away from the sea, in the middle of the shore. This place used to be my secret hide out whenever I wanna be away from everyone. I come here alone, and not even a soul knows that I own here, well, except for the care taker whom I put in charge of cleaning the place. I had called him about my coming while we were still on highway.Ariel mumbled inaudible words in her sleep as I turn t
Chapter 82(No Choice)Ariel’s POV.I just tried mum’s number again but it was still giving the same response; not reachable. I don’t know how long I will have to wait for all this to be settled, because I’m really missing mum right now. I’m just waiting for the time I will be able to travel on my own; I won’t hesitate to grab the opportunity. Africa will be the first place in my mind.I sigh for the umpteen time, dropping my phone on the side stool as I made to have a quick nap. But my rest was cut short when Axel barge into the room, looking a bit enrage. Well, his facial expression showed that he is either angry, or perhaps had cried to have make his face look red.“Get your bags, we are leaving” he muttered coldly, going to pick up some of his clothes in the wardrobe as he stuff it into his box. I couldn’t process what he meant at first“W-What…but why…we just got here…” I shuttered. He heaves a sigh“Yes…but we are leaving now..”“Will you please state your reasons” I asked. I c
