CHAPTER EIGHT
(She cheated)
Aiden came in view, looking gorgeous as ever. Elsa quickly bow in greeting and hurried out of the room, not giving him a glance. He delved his hand into his pocket, and waked closer to the couch she was sitting on
“How is your ankle now” he asked
“It’s…it’s..fine” she shuttered, avoiding his face; he nodded
“So….can I know more about you now, I mean….you have been here for two days now, sorry I haven’t been here to see you since morning, but I believe your parents might be worried about you now….so can you tell me where you came from…so that I can take you back” he muttered, taking a seat on another couch, as he stared intently at her.
She suddenly felt hot inside, what is she gonna tell him, she thought. Will she have to tell him everything that happened in the hotel and how she escaped, but what if this guys is also a client, and if he isn’t, what will he see her as….a slut who escaped from her mistress? She doesn’t know their culture here, they might see prostitution as a normal thing, and he might rebuke her for leaving. All this thought crowed her mind, drifting her from reality until she had him cough
“Are you alright, you zoned off”
“I’m fine…it’s ……just…erm” he gave her a go ahead look
“I don’t seem to know anywhere here, I don’t know where I came from apart from the fact that I’m from Africa” she mumbled, removing the strand of hair on her face, as she fiddles with her finger.
“So how did you get to this country, did you come with anyone….are you a slave?” he whispered the last part, while she bulge out her eyes and gasp.
“So he knows about slaves, he might know about the whore job too” she thought but shook her head
“I’m not a slave, just couldn’t find my way back home….i’m new here, so I got lost”
“I’m sure your parent might be looking for you by now”
“I didn’t come with my parent, I came with someone who…..well, I don’t wanna go back there…please can I stay here” She pleaded, pouting, while he frown, taken aback.
“What I meant is that, can I work here…as anything you want me to be; perhaps a maid, or a ….anything…please don’t just send me away…I won’t be able to survive it alone out there...this is a strange world to me” she pleaded, trying to remove the fallen hair off her face, but he beat her to it; tucking it at the back of her ear, making her gape at him.
He wasn’t bothered about the thought going on in her mind; his whole attention was on her pretty dark long hair which gave her an amazing look.
“She is really from the continent she said she is from; well her skin is a bit dark, but it looks different from others” he thought
“Hmm, ok…I will see what to do about it, but for now, try to recover. My parent will be coming back tomorrow; you might want to meet them. Just introduce yourself as my friend okay?”
She nodded
“I will take my leave n…..”
“Wait…please” she called, while he sat back
“Can I take a walk around, I’m bored in here” she pouted, biting her lips, he smiled
“Sure…that’s if you can w*….”
“I’m fine….see….” she jumped on her feet, her feet perfectly fixed to the ground. Though she still feels some pains but doesn’t want to show it, the boredom is killing her.
“That’s great, I’m actually free, lemme show you around” he offered, which she immediately agreed to.

PARIS***
Axel Suite**
Walking down the shore along the beach, Axel heave a sigh of relief; it’s just been few days since he left his home city, Cape Town, and he is getting off his depression already. On getting to Paris, he lodged in a hotel for a night and later got an apartment on rent, close to the beach. It has a colourful environment and a perfect view of nature, just the way he wants it.
Ever since he arrive there, he has always been going around in a mask, to avoid being noticed by some of his crazy fans who might want to touch, hold or speak with him, being that he is not with any guard.
But he decide to go out without one today, he walked further and notice the emptiness of the beach.
Most of the people present have retired to their various lodge, the remaining few were just leaving. He casted his gaze towards the other side and saw two young fellows, perhaps lovers, he thought
“Come on let’s check it out, I wanna swim” the girl whined walking briskly towards the ocean
“Juan listen to me, its cold out here” the guy pleaded, delving his hand in his pockets
“leave me alone, you can go back in if you want, I’m bored in there” she snapped, he chuckled slightly and his gaze fell on Axel who stood a meter away, staring at Juan who dived into the water. He got no expression in his face; he only pitied her body, for she is surely gonna be stricken with cold.
“Hi…” the guy muttered, on getting close to him.
“Hi” Axel replied, sparing him a little glance. He seem to be someone of his age, perhaps twenty, he thought and tried returning his gawk back to the water, when he spoke up again
“I’m Jackson…you?” he asked, stretching forth his hand for a handshake. Axel hesitated for a while, he wasn’t the type that chats with strangers, and he is well known for his snobbish attitude. But he got no choice, the Jackson guy seems nice and he will also need someone to chat with, to clear off his depressed mind.
“Axel” he brought out his hand, and the shook hands
“Cool, you live close to this area?” Jackson asked, dipping his hand back to the pocket
“Yea….that’s my suite over there” he pointed with a weary smile
“Wow,, we are neighbours, thank God; gat here yesterday” he smirk
“Really, you don’t live here” he muttered
“Yea…came for a vacation with my babe, Cape Town gat busy all the time” he grinned, ruffling his hair gently
“Cape Town?” Axel mumbled glancing at him
“If he really lived in the state, why couldn’t he recognize him? Almost everyone knows ZEL as a popular musician; well perhaps because he is putting on a face cap and it’s dark already. His face wouldn’t be that visible, or maybe the guy isn’t a music freak” he thought
“Yea” Jackson cooed and silence evade. They both watch Juan as she swims between the waves, she lost focus and got caught up by the waves, but mange to swim back to the surface. Jackson chuckled loudly while Axel smiled.
“Your girlfriend?” he asked with a bit of sad emotion, which Jackson was oblivious of
“Yea…” He grinned
“She’s pretty” Axel cooed
“Sure..she’s a diver, but I swim better” Jackson cracked, taking his lips into his mouth
“You’re sure about that”
“Yea…you”
“Well I’m best at what I do” Axel boosted
“Fine… let’s go see about that”
They took off their upper wears and walk towards the water. Juan squeezed her already wet hair and gape at them as they approach her.
“I thought you said it’s cold out here, why coming to the water then..huh?” she smirk and gave a quick glance at Axel. He seem familiar to her, but she can’t just place her hand on where she saw him, perhaps he just looks like someone she has seen before, she thought
“Well I gat a new friend here; and we wanna show you our skills” Jackson yelled and dived into the water, raising a splash. He swam up to the surface in no time, trickling Juan at the process as he swim to hides at her back.
Axel was already in the water, he still finds it hard to believe that he is kind of free with the lovely couple; the Axel everyone knows is definitely a snub and won’t interact with strangers. Perhaps they are different, or maybe because they are not his fans who will go head over heel to touch or chat with him; they are just free people and he also want to be free. To live among people who won’t frustrate his life, who won’t take his love for granted, he thought remembering the scene of how Flora cheated on him and what led to their break up.
Flash Back
Axel alighted from his car after parking it properly along the side of the road. He took out his eye glass and wore it properly alongside his face cap; that is the only way he can keep away from his fans forming paparazzi on sighting him. On a normal day, most celebrities put on mask to cover their identity, but one can’t be with a mask always. His relationship with Flora was not really known to the world, only people who are very close to him know about it.
He picked Flora from the slum and made her what she is today, a beautiful Model with stunning skin and curvy body, ready to get a man brief wet. Although most fans has already tagged them as couples, being that they are mostly seen together at dinner dates or parties, especially putting on the same attire. But Axel hasn’t officially disclosed it to the world; they decided to keep it secret which was actually Flora’s idea at the start.
Getting into her compound, he opened the door briefly and it gave way for him to go into the apartment. Walking briskly into it, he halted at the sight of the living room; it was a bit messy as cups and wines where splattered on the center table and even the floor, giving the room a bit of foul smell. He wondered who could have visited Flora that they have to drink and leave the room messy. Shrugging, he decide to call out for her, as he slump on one of the arm chairs
“Darling….I’m home…Flora…where are you” He yelled, but got no response
“If she isn’t around, the door wouldn’t have been open, so where could she be” he thought. Standing up to his feet, he headed for the bedroom, he heard soft sounds coming from it and it became louder as he goes closer. Cracking the door open a bit, he saw the most heartbreaking thing that has ever occur to him in his lifetime; His girlfriend, Flora, making out with a guy, and not just any guy but Michael, His sworn enemy in the music industry.
“Oh…God….bleep me…Michael…bleep…arhhh…you are just so good” Flora moan his name, as Michael thrust further, hitting his balls hard on her, and caressing her soft erupted breast with on hand. He lifted up her leg and spreads it wider for a better entrance, circling her clit with his thump
“Scream my name….flora…..I wanna hear you….scream my name” Michael grunted, pulling out and pushing in his groin in a fast motion
“Michael…..Mich…” she called loudly. He slaps her butts and pinched her nipples
“I can’t hear you bitch….scream my name…idiot” he yelled
“Oh…Michael…I’m cumin….i’m cumming” she screamed
“Cum for me baby….cum for your darling…motherfucker….i also wanna cum, come on let’s do it together” He whispered as she nodded, at a twinkle of an eye, they both split out that whitish liquid, as it sprinkles on their nude bodies
“Argh….that was awesome…this is the best s*x I have had in years” Flora muttered, while Michael leaned to kiss her, savouring her lips down to her cleavage, as they suck on each other.
I stood dump folded as I watch the whole scene, despite being there for almost five minutes they still didn’t notice my presence. A rage of anger suddenly mount up within me, as I folded my fist ready to pounce on the guy, I bang the door in anger and the sound made them jerk up from the bed.
Chapter Nine(He hits her)Axel POV“What the F-” Michael snap, but was interrupted by the shock on his face with later became a smirk. Flora tried to cover up her body, having this look of shame on her face, I believe none of them actually expected me to be in the house that hour; else they would have made a proper arrangement“Hey bro…what are you….” I landed a heavy blow on his face before he could complete the sentence, throwing it at different angles. He manage to dodge some blows, but the first actually made him nut. He tried to punch me back but Flora held him back, begging us to stop the fight but it all fell on deaf ears, as I send another punch into his stomach.He endures the pains, kicking me and sends blows to my chest. I groan slightly not ready to give up, not minding his naked body, I punch his nose hard making him bleed. At this point, Flora came to stand in between the both of us, she was crying profusely begging us not kill each other, as I send angry glare at her.
Chapter 10(Taking Her Innocence)Barging into Ariel’s room, Aiden walks in angrily making her flinch a bit at the bang of the door“Hmmmph” he sighs trying to control the anger welling up in him“I’m sorry for barging in this way, but you need to get dress, we are leaving” he muttered“But….” She tried saying, but he was out of the room already. She sighs wondering his sudden change of mood. Does it have to do with his parent fight? She hasn’t seen him that angry before, but she believes that he will come around after everything is settled. She doesn’t think she will like to live with an angry Aiden; she really won’t feel comfortable around him, seeing him that way.Without wasting more time, she started changing into a more suitable dress, and not up to five minutes, some maids hurried in after being summoned. They assisted her by packing some of her clothes into luggage, making her wonder the type of journey she will be going on, that will require much clothes.Aiden headed to his
Chapter 11Meeting the B**ch.Two weeks laterStaring at herself, in the mirror, Sophia smiled, admiring her look. No doubt, the hair stylist has done a good job by styling her hair perfectly just the way she wants it. But being a rude and proud being she is, she is never gonna admit it, or even show a bit of appreciation.“You look like a princess dear; the hair looks so good on you, same with the makeup. It makes your perfect face more perfect” The stylist grinned, she scoffed“And when did I become your dear…save that miss, it’s not that perfect like I wanted it. But in order to save the time of you losing and re-making it again, I will just take it like that” Sophia spat The stylist felt a bit sad, but she dared not show it, instead, she kept on smiling; but one could tell that it wasn’t genuine. Sophia’s phone rang and she picked it up immediately, putting it on her ear.“Hey babe…..”“Where the hell are you…idiot….” Emma spoke from the other end“Watch your mouth…I’m not an
Chapter 12The Get-together.Ariel POVSchool was a bit hectic today and I couldn’t help but sleep off on getting home. The loud sound of the thunder storm jerked me off my sleep, it’s raining already. Yawning loudly, I drag my lazy self down the bed, as my stomach made a rumbling sound.I was actually so tired to eat lunch when I arrived, now I will have to fill this stomach.I went into the kitchen to get something to eat, but found Josephine doing the dishes, and that reminds me of what I had in mind to ask her.“Hey…..good evening” I greeted with a smile. She turned swiftly to face me, smiling back“Good evening ma’am……”“Come on Josephine….just call me Ariel…I’m tired of this ma’am stuff” I groan, taking a can of drink from the fridge. She smiled, taking off the gloves on her hand as she made to dry it with a napkin.“Well…..i don’t wanna lose my job….” She snickered“But you calling me Ariel can’t make you lose your job…and whereas we are age mate. You can just call me by my na
Chapter 13.The Bullying The next day“Damn……hargghhh…this is just so f**cking bad” Sophia groan, swinging her pillow across the room, as Emma tried dodging the swing. The three friends are actually in Sophia’s room, watching the former as she rants out in anger.“Chill girl..I still need my face for tomorrow’s shoot” Emma scoff, picking up the pillow from the ground“Shut the fuck up Emma, you need to understand Sophia here, she is in pain” Nina Chipped in“And so what? She shouldn’t be screaming her lungs out just because Axel refused to kiss her in the game, why get worked up about a silly kiss”“Well, let’s just say you were too drunk to actually remember the whole events that took place last night, you were busy fucking Zach, bitch” Nina snapped, Emma frown as they both gaze at Sophia who was sobbing slightly“It’s not my fault, I was drunk..so what really happened?” Emma asked“When the bottled was spin, it was Axel’s turn to pick a dare, so I dared him to kiss Sophia, since t
Chapter 14.Seduction Don’t Work On Me.Aiden POV“Leave her alone…” I muttered, stepping out of the crowd as I walked to where Ariel stood, freeing her from Shirley’s grip. After my movie shoot that morning, I decided to go to school, it’ not like I really wanted to, but I need to fulfill my promise to Ariel, by going to see her. I was about going to her department when I sighted a little crowd, with a student who was trying to bully another. I became filled with rage when I found out that it was Ariel.“Why are you trying to bully her” I snapped at Shirley, who only smirked fiercely at me. She is Shirley, popularly known as the She-wolf, and trusts me when I say that she fears no one. But she always know her place when it comes to I and Axel, she dare not go beyond her boundaries.Shirley is a dancer; she also has her own crews which are known for the best dance steps, of which she is leader. She is a rival to many, but an enemy to the Triple girl’s crew, they don’t get along one
Chapter 15.He Kissed HerAriel POVIt’s been a week now since the incident of Shirley trying to bully me over Axel’s cloth. Well, everything is kind of settled now. Aiden made it known to her that she shouldn’t lay her hands on me again, and ever since then some students has been staring weirdly at me. I wonder what is going on in their mind.Some even came to ask me about my relationship with Aiden, they thought I’m his girlfriend due to the way he acted that day. That’s their problem anyways, but I won’t reveal myself to them, they mustn’t know about me staying with a celebrity like Aiden. It’s gonna mean danger for me.The only person who won’t stop pestering me is Mia, well she is kind of my friend now, but can I really trust her. She heard about the incident from the gossiping student and forced me to spill the event to her. She screamed her lungs out in glee, stating that I’m lucky to meet with the two demi-gods of the school.The twins are not really current with school activ
Chapter 16Aiden’s POVAfter exiting her room, I felt this surge of relief. I have been holding my urge to kiss her all this while but just had to control myself. I totally lose it in there, her beauty is just so captivating, and her lips are alluring. Geez, you are falling for her already Aiden, you need to take it cool; my subconscious muttered.Getting out of the house I headed to my friend’s place; Ryan. He was the one that called me earlier, huff, crazy guy, he ruined my moment. I smiled remembering the way she blushed after the kiss, hmmm, I think she likes it too. But she is kinda slow. Perhaps she is still a learner; let’s say it’s her first kiss. And if so, I will be so glad to be her first.I got to Ryan’s house in no time and met a disgusting sight. A certain b*tch was giving him a BJ, and it looks annoying, haarrgh. They didn’t notice my presence in the room until I cleared my throat, they might have so engross in their miserable act.“Yo..yo..hey bro..you should have knoc
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
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 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

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

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
