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 room immediately after leaving Ariel’s, he went ahead to pick his car keys, ATM cards and other items before getting out. He ordered some maids to assist Ariel in her room, and headed to his mother’s room.
“Aiden…..you…are….’ She paused seeing the anger on his face
“Where is he mum, where is he?” he asked, his chest going up and down simultaneously
“Hmmmm..” she sighed, returning to what she was doing, not giving him a reply. This angered him the more
“Mum…..why are you covering up for him…..why are you not speaking up..he f**cking hit you mum….”
Setting her bed in order, she looked up into his eyes, with pain clearly written in her eyes, a drop of tears rolled down her cheek. She sniffed
“He went into his room after the argument we had” she mumbled
“But he is not there” Aiden groan
“You need to calm down son; you can’t fight your father….. What we had has to do with the both of us…we will settle among ourselves…” she tried saying bit he cuts her short
“But he hits you mum….Dad has been treating you like dirt right from when we were little…it’s not fair..but he used to be a good man to the world, who doesn’t know that he is a beast s sheep clothing”
“Aiden!!!!!” his mother screamed
“You won’t want your dad to hear you saying that….look dear…don’t worry about me….I will be fine..okay” she assured, cupping his cheek in her hand. He pulled it off, a bit touched with her action, but not ready to admit it
“Axel was right, dad shouldn’t control our lives anymore, but it hurts me so much why you couldn’t see it that way” he muttered softly, turning to leave
“Whatever I do now,….i do it for you and your siblings” She replied. He paused to hear more from her, but she went back to what she was doing, not saying more than that. He left afterward, while Ariel joined him in the car.
She stared at his face and noticed it’s cold look, she couldn’t afford to ask where they are going to, but she strongly believe that she is safe with him. Her mind suddenly drifted to her mum, and Miss Peggy, she might have found out about their escape and tried looking for her. She wonders what Juan is up to now, was she caught or did she manage to escape to the safe place she was talking about. All those questions seem like a mystery to her, because they were no answers to them.
She noticed Aiden staring at her; they were the only ones in the car, apart from the driver. She wondered why he was staring at her that way. Did she do anything wrong? She thought
“You were lost in your thought….what were you thinking about” he asked softly
“i…umm…just…was..uhm…” I shuttered feeling shy. He chuckled slightly
“Feel free to tell me anything okay….and uhmm..i’m sorry for taking you away from the house suddenly. Sorry for my attitude earlier, I was just..umm…a bit pissed” he mumbled the last part, I only nodded in response
The journey to our destination continued in silence, until we arrived a portable well designed bungalow, surrounded with fences and decorated with flowers and tall trees. The fences where painted white, giving it a perfect look, it looks like houses built closer to the sea.
“Wow……” I muttered unconsciously as we drove in through the gate. The house is beautiful, but the mansion we left can’t be compared to this, but this is one of the best bungalows I have ever come across. It screams millions. I heard him chuckled at my expression, as we alight the vehicle stepping into the house. Two maids hurried out to take my bags and other luggage as we head in.
“Hmm…” he cleared his throat after we had settled into one of the cushions
“So you will be staying here for now, then when I’m through with some project, we will have more time to talk about you” he cooed
“About me….? What else do we wanna talk about?” I wanted to ask, but I just couldn’t. I believe he has a reason for whatever he does. All I’m happy for is that I’m in safe hands.
“This is one of my houses….feel free to ask anything you need from the housekeeper, grannie Naomi and her granddaughter Josephine” He stated, introducing me to the two maids that came for my luggage. I only smile at the young girl and bow in respect to the grannie
“Actually Daisy…..I won’t be staying here for now…but I will come check on you later…just be calm okay, and when you need anything…feel free to tell them, they are nice people. I will take my leave now” He smiled, walking out of the house
“Aiden…..” I called after him. He stopped, turning to face me
“T…thanks…thanks for taking good care of me…I’m grateful” I muttered, he only smiled and nodded before walking away. I could still feel a bit of pain in his eyes. He must be having a bad time, seeing his parent quarrel to the extent of his dad slapping his mum…that’s odd…..
~~~~~~
<Kick Ass Joint>
“Tom….what report do you have to give today…hope it’s good news” Miss Peggy growl at the harsh looking man, who was puffing out a ball of smoke off his mouth and nostril. He took in another draw from the tobacco pipe before looking straight into her eyes. He is the leader of the Kick-ass gang
“My guys made a little progress…we hacked into the streets security cameras and got some footage of the day she left and after. We sighted her in one of the videos alongside a guy; they were heading for the airport.
“That Bastard….after all I have done for her” She gritted in anger, referring to Juan
“What about the other girl…the pretty one she ran away with”
“We also got footage of her running to a slum area, perhaps there was a little rift with the police and some gang men that day. That was when they both ran into separate ways” Tom huffs
“So what happened next…..where did she run to…”
“Well bad new….the cameras in the area she ran into were a bit faulty, the agencies were working on it at that period, so no footage was recorded at that point in time. We lost her….” He sniffs in
“F**ck this tom….this is not what we bargained for…I need those girls in the next one month…what do you want me to tell my customers” She grunted
“If you want the work faster, then you will have to double your pay….”
“I will do just that…but don’t fail me this time”
“Cross my heart….I won’t……
<The Shaw’s mansion>
Elsa managed to drag her legs to Mr. Shaw’s secret room. He left a letter on the table in his room telling her to meet him there. This has been one of the dreaded things she has been avoiding for months, but it seems to be at her doorstep again.
Walking briskly toward the room, she felt a shiver run down her spine, as she gulps down nothing. Knocking on the wooden door, she heard a baritone voice ushering her in.
“Come in…..” He stated
She turned the knob of the door, and proceeded into the room, which was filled with a fog of smoke coming out from the pipe he was smoking.
He turned to face her with a deadly stare, as she fidgeted with her fingers, avoiding his face.
“You know what to do Elsa…..” He muttered, and turned to face the window. She shouldn’t be told twice what she must do. She stripped off her gown, as tears of pain gush down her eyes. Sobbing silently, she took off every piece of cloth from her body, and lay n*ked on the bed, awaiting the arrival of his rod.
This moment is what she dreaded most in her life. Whenever Mr. Shaw have an argument with his wife, he always sent for her to cool his nerves by f**cking her hard.
With tears rolling down her cheek, she clearly remembered how it started, how she became his s*x toy which wasn’t known to anyone in the house, except the both of them.
Flash Back
Little Elsa stood at the back of the kitchen door and watch the couple fight, well one can’t call it a fight, because Mr. Shaw was the one beaten his wife to stupor. Whenever such things happen, her mother will always hide her in the room, to avoid seeing the couple fight. But her mother is always busy; she doesn’t really do that all the time, due to her tight schedule as the head maid.
This certain day, her mum was not aware of the fight; she was actually far away from the main mansion doing some other necessary things. Elsa stood curiously, seeing his face filled with rage as he sends blows into his wife’s face. She was too weak to resist him, and this made her faint.
He dropped her on the floor not minding her state and tried leaving when he caught Elsa staring at him, from behind.
He gave and devilish grin walking towards her while she shivers and tried to retreat. Suddenly the thought of running to her room to hide came through her mind, and she remembered her mum’s word about running to her room whenever she sees the couple fighting. She has always wondered why her mum gave such instructions without a definite reason for saying so, but her curiosity won’t just allow her to see Mrs. Shaw in a critical state without offering help.
She planned on hiding at the door and wait for him to be through with her, and then she will go to her aid, treating her wounds like she always do. But today isn’t like the other days, Mr. Shaw caught her staring and she might definitely be in trouble.
“What are you doing there” He asked in a hoarse tone. She shivers a bit, not knowing what to say
“I…umm…i…was…..just….ehnn…” She shuttered, he didn’t muttered any word for a while, as he gaze intently at her, having this lustful look on his face
“You have grown so fast Elsa, and so beautiful at that” He cooed, cupping her cheek in his hand. Her eyes went to his fainted wife on the floor that he didn’t bother to care for. She felt a sudden rage of anger in her, but couldn’t use her weak strength on him
“Follow me to my room”
“But…..sir….i…was. just….”
“Do as I say now” he yelled, making me flinch. She suddenly wished her mum was there to drag me away from his grip. She wished she had listened to her by not being too curious.
He dragged her into his room, and flung her on the bed, ripping off her dress in a sec. She felt a sting of tears tickled down her cheek as she struggled with him, but he seem so stronger that she grew more weak the more she struggles
.
“No….no….help…help..” she tried to scream, but he only chuckled at her ignorance
“This room is sound proof dummy, no one will hear you, so just keep calm and let me do the job. You will enjoy it, trust me” He grinned, while she sobs silently. Without wasting more time he rip of her panties revealing her already shaved clit as he widened it more to view it’s entrance. No doubt, she was a virgin, but he got no time to be gentle, all he need is to satisfy his urge. He pushed his rod into her thrusting faster, leaving her to groan in pain.

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 17Ariel POVRushing into the classroom, I sighted Mia sitting at the extreme of the class, with her head on the table. She seems to be in deep thought. But why will she stay at the back seat instead of the usual front roll. My heart beat against my chest as I tried to imagine what she found out, that made her sound so angry when she called yesterday.I heaved a heavy sigh, going to meet her, as I touched her hand. She felt a presence, and looked up“Erm…Mia…you called yesterday, and I was damn worried, what’s wrong” I asked worriedly“Mtchewww” she hissed loudly, as other students drew near to watch the scene“You are such an ingrate Ariel; you drag our friendship in the mud. You act like you love me, but no, you don’t. You just don’t trust me…you..you” She busted into tears, while I gulp down nothing. What have I done wrong?“Erm…Mia, can we go to somewhere private and talk about this…we are making a scene here, and people are watching” I pleaded softly, almost breaking down
Chapter 18“Welcome Bestie!!!!” Mia screamed, as she goes to hug Ariel, giving her a less breathing space. Ariel, with the aid of the address sent to her and the help of the guard assigned to her, was able to locate Mia’s house with no stress involved. The guard, who is also her driver, knew his way around the town, so locating Mia’s house is more like a eating a whole cupcake.Getting off the car, Ariel gape at the building before going in; no doubt, Mia is also from a wealthy home.“Come on girl, give the poor girl a breathing space, she is already suffocating” A lady with red hair muttered from the living room.“Oh!! Come on, I’m just happy that she came. Come in Ariel, meet Valeria, my cousin” She said, ushering Ariel in, as she pointed to the red-haired lady, who smiled at her“And this is Betty, Valeria&rs
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
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 rolli
Chapter 86(Heart Breaks)“Peggy” she whispered, gawking at her“It’s me Gina…come on let us in” Miss Peggy stated, with a wide smile, as Gina engage her in a tight hug“Oh My gawd…is this a dream..I mean..I had thought all hope is lost since the day you left with Ariel, not until I saw the videos…oh gosh…you are welcome..come in…Hi” She greeted Scarlet with a soft smile while scarlet only nodded, smiling briefly.“You can also come in Kabria..” Gina beckoned as Kabria shrug“I don’t wanna pry into your discussion, I will just wait outside” she stated and left. 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
