Both men turned to look and Dan saw me right away but when he saw Frank's death glare, he started to make his way out to leave, as if he could tell that had man was ready to get him.
"Don't let him run away, fuck." I charged in his direction. If I had any chance to get every explanation from him, it was now and there was no stopping that.Neil, even though he didn't understand, he charged towards Dan as well and that left three of us going after him.Dan was shocked, not knowing what the men wanted with him and it was only a matter of time before Frank caught up with him, holding him by his collar, "where the fuck do you think you are going?" He was breathing hard and venting his anger at him."I can explain!" Dan said in a panic tone. In that moment, I could see how much of a loser Dan actually was and I started feeling stupid for falling in love with a man like him in the first place."You lied to me you bastard." I snapped at him, "wheHer words made me realise that not once had I ever asked Frank anything that had to do with who Bianca's Mom was. If he was still married, where she had gone. I'd just always imagined there was no one but Bee and Frank.I stepped aside. If they were still together and Frank had been using me for his lustful deeds, I'd feel fucking embarrassed of myself to find out."Well, are you going to let me in or what?" She snapped."Can you give me a second?" I asked in a low voice and gently closed the door. I scurried I into the room and hurried to put on the oversized shirt that Frank had previously given to me. I gently pat his back to wake him up but the woman at the door had already started knocking again ."What's going on?" A half awake Frank asked me. "I think you should answer the door to find out." I nodded at the door and he eyed me with suspicion before standing up, looking for his pants and then putting them on.I disappeared
Jude pulled away from me and stared at my sister. Breanna tagged right in after her."What's going on?" Linda's tone was blank and it made my heart beat faster but I beat Jude to soeaking before he went ahead to say lies against me."Your fucking husband, that's what, this bastard assaulted me, what the fuck?" I snapped in his face and now that I had control of my hands, I hit him hard across the face."Jane!" Linda gasped, "are you out of your mind? Get out of my house right this instant.""Excuse me?" I couldn't believe my ears."I'll deal with things on my own, I can't believe you'd go far enough to flirt with Jude, I-" she said but I cut her off."You've lived with me your whole life, how is that something I would do?" My jaw dropped, "you know what?" I clutched my mini bag over my shoulder, "have fun you two, I'm out of here."
I had no idea what type of aura Frank possessed but the men all ran off as soon as they saw him.Frank pulled me to my feet and brushed his hands through my hair, "are you okay?"I shook my head negatively and he pressed my head against his shoulder, "I'm sorry these men treat you like this." He heaved a sigh.There was no amount of words that could accurately describe the peace I felt just by being in Frank's arms, everything about him felt heavenly, like all my worries and burdens were gone.Frank and I stayed in that position for a while before we finally decided to pull away. "I got your text, no one comes in here, the cafeteria is basically just the dummy of this site.""I figured." I sighed, "let's just hang out together somewhere else before the break is over."Frank and I spent the break talking about the work he had to do and how he was intentionally
"What in the BDSM shit is going on? I'm a dancer not a sex slave." I reminded him in case he had forgotten."I paid you for this service, you're supposed to deliver everything I want." He raised one eyebrow. "There's no contract binding this agreement and so we can basically do what I want."I stood up sharply, "I'm sorry Neil, maybe we should have talked about it more. I'm going to take my leave now." Although I was using this as an excuse to leave, I'd been uncomfortable and feeling bad that Frank did not want me to be here."Wait, I paid you, you can't just leave like that." He held my wrist, stopping me, a deep frown on his face."Um..." I tried to hide my fear of him, "I need time to process it if we are going to be doing any of that, how long is this supposed to last?" I realised just now that I'd not asked as many questions as I should."Just five hours." He smirked,
Surprising myself, I was able to trace the exit out of here. While Neil was still coming after me, he was slowing down because he was out of breath. I called Frank's phone with shaky hands."Where are you?!" He called with worry."I'm trying to leave this mansion, where are you?" I asked him. "Frank, Neil is literally running after me because I refused to do something that he asked for." I called into the phone, scared and out of breath."The fuck?" Frank said and I heard slamming doors in the background. "I'm coming for you just hold on, I was parked in front of his- I see you! Keep running straight ahead." I looked away from the phone and found Frank running towards me.When we caught up with each other, I forgot all about how scared I'd been of Neil. I dissolved into Frank's warm embrace instead. I knew it wasn't the right time but there was no where else I would rather be in that moment. Frank pulled away and set me so I was standing
I widened my eyes, my heart beating fast in its cage wondering if maybe Neil had somehow managed to catch up with me. I was snatched into an isolated corner when the hand finally let go.I must have been distracted by my fear to realise the manicured nails but the hand belonged to mine other than Leni.'"What the fuck?" I frowned, "what on earth do you think you're doing, bringing me here, have you lost your fucking kind?" I snapped at her."Oh shut up, you know why I'm here." She spoke in an equal toxic laced voice, "It's about Frank. I heard what happened. He brought Bee over to the hotel and left to get a new job and my daughter, she told me everything." She folded her arms across her chest"I don't know what it is you've done to him but Frank would never choose anyone over his daughter so I know he didn't plan on losing his job for you when he has a human to feed. I will never let my daughter suffer for someone else's sake." She shook h
I sat in front of the bathroom mirror, caking mascara unto my eyelashes, when a knock came on the door. I rolled my eyes. It was probably the fifteenth knock in the last ten minutes."Um Jane? I really have to go." That was Ed, my roommate."I'm almost done." I called back at him, hurrying my makeup for his sake. It had been two months since I saw Frank last, since I left his house and since I moved in Ed.I hated having flashbacks to that night. Dan had hung up on me immediately I called him and so there was no hope for me in that area. I'd broke down at the bus stop, missing every bus, just sitting down with my bags by my side, crying my eyes out.Ed had been kind enough to ask what was wrong with me and my mental state had not cared that he was a complete stranger, I'd just went ahead to tell him every little aspect of my life and how was I homeless."I just moved into my apartment, it's not far from here. It's a two bedroom and I'm
"Are you okay?" He repeated again as if it wasn't strange just bumping into him here."Yeah I am." I mumbled under my breath. It felt unrealistic to bump into him, yes we lived in the same city but far from his street. I'd wanted nothing to do with him and in that short period of time where we had stopped communicating, I could almost swear that I had lost the feelings I had for him but seeing him here now, his hair grown much more, his tan darker and the presence of more tattoo on his arms and chest area, I could see from his short sleeved shirt. His eyelashes were curled upwards and he had tweaked a few of his eyebrow hairs off.I didn't know how engrossed I was with watching him until he broke the silence, "you said you broke your ankle, hop in I'll take you to the nearest hospital." He offered, still speaking in that tone that made it seem like we'd never met before."No." I shook my head. My head was already tight and I couldn't even breathe in such a
I reread the same line over again, waiting for something to change. It wasn't possible that I was pregnant. I wanted to scream but I couldn't find my voice and I didn't even feel as bothered as I thought I'd feel.For some reason it felt like fate had intentionally played this card. Now I felt like I had another purpose. I never thought I'd be ready to carry a child but I felt satisfied even knowing it belonged to Frank. I had someone of my own to raise and love the way I wanted to.This meant that I needed to plan my life out as best as I could and as quickly as possible.I needed to hire my team and grow the millions I had in my bank account. If I spent too long, I would end up exhausting all that cash without making anything from it.Suddenly all my headache was gone and nothing mattered to me except Frank, I didn't want to bump into him at any time soon. I wanted him far away from my life and I couldn't even trust anyone at this point.I was going to work on leaving the country, s
Getting to the ground floor and not minding all the stares that came with me running through the hallway, I waved the driver over. I knew it would take a good while before the elevator got to him again and he surely wouldn't want to embarrass himself by running after me in nothing but his boxers, knowing how well news spread like wild fire especially since everyone was interested in knowing what was happening to the Marcello brand after his death."Just take me home." I directed the driver. My head was fuming hot and a terrible headache had formed where my thoughts had been surrounded by what had just happened."Can you fucking drive any faster?" I groaned when I realised how slow he was being."Yes ma'am." He nodded and increased the speed. In this moment, I couldn't think about anything or anyone, not even Bianca even though at the back of my mind, I wished I could have taken her with me, she must have been so scarred to witness what had just occurred.I didn't wait for the driver t
When Frank left for work I decided to check on Bianca in her room where I knew she would be sitting on the bed with her iPad and her messy hair."Hey baby what's up?" I called after knocking and going in, closing the door behind me."Don't you have work to be at?" She rolled her eyes at me barely looking up from her iPad.I sat beside her on the edge of the bed, look baby girl I know you're upset but trust me dad is only trying to do what is best for us for you especially and on the bright side I decided to take today off working just so we could spend some time together so why don't you get yourself cleaned up and you and I just have some girl time." I spoke in an excited tone with hope that she would match my energy.I heaved a sigh, "Bianca you can't stop talking to me, OK what do you want to do?""I just want attention from my father is that too much to ask for, I'm just a child and he spends every single day of his life working and he doesn't listen to anything I want he thinks th
"Morning babe." I stretched, sitting up in bed. It had been three months since Marcello died and that meant it had been three months since I'd been sleeping in this room every night but I was still yet to get used to the luxury of our bedroom. It still marveled me every single morning."Morning." Frank called back in a lazy voice, groaning as he said my name. He swung his arm around me as though we had nowhere to go.I gently slid his hand away and got to my feet, "come on babe, get up, we have places to be." I was attempting to move away when he held my wrist and forced me back down to the bed."Frank!" I chuckled at his behaviour.He opened his eyes and tried to settle himself on top of me. "Not even a little morning kiss.""Ew, your breath stinks." I said, dodging his kiss. When he leaned away from me, I planted a soft kiss on his lips and got to my feet, "you know we can't be lste for work." He groaned his disapproval and lazily got to his feet. I offered him a small smile, "come
"Frank!" I yelled on top of my voice knowing I should leave to go get help but also not wanting to leave a hurt mam by himself. There was no way Frank would hear me even if I kept screaming on top of my lungs.I tried to help Marcello sit on the floor. He was still coughing hard and his nose bleed was worsening. "Just sit right here, I'll be back in a second." My chest rose and fall as I turned to leave and get help.Frank and Bianca were laughing over something by the time I showed up. They turned to look at me and when they saw the panic on my face, Frank left her side to stand by me, "Hey, are you okay? Did he do something to you?" He ran his eyes all over me to find an anomaly. I wished that was honestly the case."No," I shook my head fast, "Marcello, he's hurt." I swallowed and left his side.Frank hurried with me to the room where Marcello was and by the time we got there, he was unconscious, sprawled across the floor with blood streaming dow
"Frank, what are we going to do?" I panicked internally. Frank was immediately stepping into action while I wondered what it was I could do to help. Two masked men had gotten into the car with us, "keep your hands where we can see them!" One of them bellowed on top of his voice.My only fear in that moment was Bianca. Although she was still asleep, I feared she would wake up to something that could possibly traumatise her for quite a while.Frank and I looked at each other and the men that had been helping us with driving and we were going to raise our hands when our driver suddenly pulled a gun out.My eyes went wide and he assured us with a scared look plastered on his face, "I'll handle this."The masked men seemed frightened in their countenance even though we could not see their reactions. My heart skipped knowing that these men had been driving with a gun this whole time but it did come off in handy now.It worked in our f
"How did that happen?" I panicked internally. I had not been settled when he had said he got that disturbing call and so soon she was gone."I don't know, I can't make any sense of it. I don't know if she went with someone but none of her teachers can place a knowledge of her whereabouts." Frank was starting to lose his breath. I feared that he would lose control and pass out. "Frank just calm down...""How can I? What's the poing of anything I'm doing then?" He snapped at me. I took no offense because I knew we were faced with a much deeper problem."Who else could have come for her?" I tried to see the positive to the situation rather than jumping to unhealthy conclusions."No one." His hands were trembling by now, no one else could have.""Not Celine?" I asked hopeful. "Not without asking me first." He shook his head."Come on let's ask her first." My heart was racing because I didn't know if she was actu
Frank and I took our seats and Frank didn't seem to notice the tension that was currently building between his supposed father and I."I know you were probably expecting me to come alone but sir, this is Jane." He pointed to me. I guessed he wasn't yet ready to use father son terms to regard him."Nice to meet you Jane." Marcello kept his composure but it was evident how uncomfortable he was with my presence. "Who is Jane to you?" He regarded Frank. I had not noticed that he was this man when I was browsing him through the Internet but seeing him in person certainly broke the crack."This is my girlfriend." Frank sounded proud of the fact and that was my first assurance. Frank knew what my background was and he had still stayed with me."Girlfriend?"Frank noticed now what was wrong. "Yes is there a problem?" He wondered. "I actually wanted to talk to you about a very disturbing call I received last night." He brought his phone out and sc
"Want me to make you some tea?" I asked Jane when it was night time and we had settled in. She was still gloomy and I didn't blame her."No thanks.""You haven't eaten all day, come on, you don't want to starve yourself do you?" I sighed. The Jane I knew would have celebrated what was happening wuth me in regards to Marcello but she didn't evenhen mention it once."What's the point of it, its not going to bring Ed back." She shook her head."Ed wouldn't have wanted this." I tried to pitch in an argument. "The Ed I know would not mind. He'd rather I suffered the consequences of my actions so I'd know not to do it next time, too bad he's gone." She laughed sarcastically. With a sigh, I gave her a gentle kiss on her forehead and exited the room "but if you need anything don't hesitate to fall."I joined Bianca in the ljving room."She's not joining in for Boys first?' She gave me a pitiful look and I shook my he
