Honey's POV.

After the shoot, I went to the changing room. I changed my outfits and wore a plain black turtleneck silken top and a black and navy striped wide leg pants. Immediately, I entered the changing room, I sat on a high stool and brought out my phone. I saw a missed call notification from my Dad. I called him back and smiled when he picked up.

"Dad."

"Yes, sweetie. How was the shoot?"

"It was good, we just finished."

"I hope it wasn't stressful." He sounded concerned.

I chuckled and shook my head. "No, it wasn't. It was actually fun, you should have come with me."

He actually promised to accompany the photoshoot, but he was busy so he couldn't.

"Oh my, you have no idea how much I wished I followed you, but I will make it up to you, okay?"

I smiled and turned on the stool. Amelia entered the changing room and waited for me to finish my call. "Really? How will you make it up to me."

He hummed. "Hmm, let me think about it."

I chuckled and shrugged. "You can make it up to me by buying my favorite pizza." I suggested.

"Oh yeah. Don't worry, I'll buy you ten boxes of pizzas!"

I laughed out loud and shook my head. "No, don't buy me ten boxes, I will get fat if I eat too much."

"Then, I will buy just a box of pizza."

"That's okay."

"Alright, I will call you later. Make sure you have a nice day, okay?"

"Thanks, I will. Make sure you have a nice day too." I said and he hung up the call. 

Amelia arched a brow at me. "Don't you think I should also be given a box of pizza?"

I took my eyes from my phone and looked at her, smiling. "Of course, you should. We will share it."

After I changed my clothes, we left the photo studio and were on our way to my music studio when I noticed a fancy shoe store for men's footwear. 

I sat up on my seat, staring at the store. My father's birthday was just a few weeks from now. I wanted to get him a fancy shoe as a present. I glanced at my chauffeur. "Please stop the car." 

Amelia looked at me, confused. "Why? Do you forget something?"

"No, I want to check out something over there." I said and opened the car door.

Amelia leaned forward and furrowed her brows. "Should I follow you?"

I shook my head and got down from the car. "No, I will meet you at the studio."

Amelia looked bothered. "What about your car, how will you get to the studio?"

I smiled at her. "Don't worry about me. I will be fine."

She arched her brow. "Are you sure?

I nodded. "Yes, I will meet you at the studio."

She tightened her lips considering whether she should leave me or not. After a moment of hesitation, she told the chauffeur to start the car. 

I sighed and walked into the colorful store. There was a big signboard on the glass door bearing the store name. Gowell shoe shore. It dangled as I opened the shop. Pleasant fragrance of lovely flowers wafted through my nostrils. The temperature of the shop was cool. There were different varieties of men's footwear displayed around the shop. I went to the counter when an attendant sat. I told her I wanted to buy a designated shoe for my father and she showed me their collection of special edition shoes. I picked Salvatore ferragamo. I loved the quality of its leather and its pointed edge. It was for my Dad so I wanted it to be very unique. After I filled in the details for the shoe, I excused myself and went to the restroom.

As I turned to the other corner leading to the restroom, I noticed a masked man stalking me from behind. He wore a black shirt and trousers with black leather shoes. His face was hidden behind a black cap and mask with a skeleton figure on it and he also wore black gloves. He slowed his pace whenever I turned to look at him.

I tensed up. I bent my head and acted oblivious to his stalking. I quickened my steps as I walked. I can't leave the shop without turning back so I rushed to the restroom. I was going to shut the door once I entered. 

I was about to open the door of the restroom when I bumped into something hard and rigid. I looked up and noticed a chiseled face looking down at me, confused. I didn't know him, but I hugged him tightly and whispered into his ears.

"Just act like you know me."

  • Knots & Tie    My Worst Enemy

    Honey's POV.I was about to open the door of the restroom when I bumped into something hard and rigid. I looked up and noticed a chiseled face looking down at me, confused. I didn't know him, but I hugged him tightly and whispered into his ears."Just act like you know me."He hugged me back. His body was warm and firm, causing me to feel a foreign sense of comfort. He brought his hand from his pocket and cupped the nape of my neck before leaning his head close to my ears. His breath fanned my skin, causing a shiver to rub down my spine. "Is someone stalking you?" He asked. I tightened my arms around his taut waist and nodded. "Yes, I don't know what he wants."I should have let go of him, but I didn't. I felt strangely safe in his arms. I turned my head and risked a glance at my stalker. He had stopped following me. Instead, he leaned on the wall and was pressing his phone. It looked more like he was waiting for the man I was hugging to leave me alone. I wouldn’t make that happen.I

    MindHoney's POV.He pocketed his hands and pressed his lips. "Sometimes, I do feel sorry for him.""So what happened to him?" He smiled and I flushed. "It's a long story. I might tell you some other time."The attendant behind the counter smiled and slightly waved at me. "Have a nice day, ma'am."I smiled at her and left the shoe store. I stopped before the road and brought out my Samsung. I wanted to call an uber."You brought your car?" The man, my savior, asked.I turned to him and shook my head. "No, I want to order for an uber."He looked ahead of him and pointed at a shiny black Bugatti La Voiture Noire which was parked at the garage of the shoe store. "That's my car over there. If you don't mind, I can give you a ride."My jaw dropped as I stared at the car. It was one of the most expensive cars in the world! This man must be fifthly rich if he owned that car. "...you don't mind, do you?”"What?" I asked. I was so mesmerized with the beauty of the car that I didn't hear what

  • Knots & Tie    Should I Call Him?

    Honey's POV.He gave me his number and drove off. I smiled as I looked at his number and saved it as 'Handsome Savior’. I kept my phone in my handbag and watched as he drove away. I really hoped to see him at the concert. I smiled and turned. Amelia was stepping out of the music studio, she watched as the car drove away. She turned to me and arched her brow when it was out of sight. "Oyin, who was that?""He is someone who saved me a while ago."Her brows furrowed and walked to me looking worried. "What happened?” She asked. “Why did you say he saved you?"I held the handle of my handbag and pressed my lip. "Well, there was a mysterious fan who was stalking me when I went to the shoe store and I kind of ran into him while I was trying to avoid the stalker."Amelia bit her lip and shook her head. "This won't have happened to you if you had let me follow you." She scolded me.I pouted and walked into the music studio. "Then, I'm glad you didn't follow me because if you did, I wouldn't ha

  • Knots & Tie    Mercy

    Lorenzo’s POV She was beautiful.I stared at the young lady on the television. Her black curly hair billowed in the air as she moved her body in rhyming movements, dancing to her song in her music video. Her song was nice, but it wasn't as attractive as her. She flowed like water, swaying her hips and twisting her body. Her amber eyes zoomed in, it shone bright like I was staring directly at her. I leaned on my couch and stretched my hand to take the glass of wine set on an ornate stool before me. My eyes focused on the screen of my television as I took a quick sip and observed her. No mistake, she was the lady I had met at the shoe store this afternoon. She seemed to be into me and that very thought intoxicated my blood with lust. In this music video, she was wearing a cropped top that barely covered her breast and silver shorts which exposed her dark skin. It glowed as she brushed her hands along her breast. She wasn't even touching me, but it turned me on. She was a precious ros

  • Knots & Tie    First Ever Concert

    All through the night, I waited for him to call me, but he didn't. Amelia told me to give him a whole day. I looked at the ornate white clock in my bedroom. It was way past twelve so that meant a whole day had gone. I sat up from my bed and stretched my hand to pick up my phone from the nightstand. I took a deep breath and gave him a call. It rang for some time, but he didn't pick it up. I pouted and fell back on my bed. Did he even save my number?The next day, I decided to check the shoe store. I had told my Dad about the mysterious fan who was stalking me the previous day, so he hired a bodyguard to escort me. I didn’t understand why my Dad was being overprotective about the issue, but I guessed it was because he knew I was getting more famous and I needed more security. My car was parked at the parking lot of the shoe store and the masculine bodyguard my father had hired came down and opened the back door for me. I wasn’t used to such treatment, but I thanked him with a smile. Then

  • Knots & Tie    Kidnapped

    Honey. I sat in the green room, my phone latched in my hands. It was the night of my first ever concert. I was meant to be thinking about how I was going to make an impression when I performed my songs on the stage, but my mind kept wandering to the handsome stranger I had met at the shoe store a few days ago.I had invited him to my concert and I had even given him a free ticket. At the very least if he wasn’t going to show up, he could have called me and let me know about it. I sighed when I remembered that he hadn’t even collected my phone number to begin with, let alone save it in his phone. The door leading to the green room opened and Amelia walked inside. She wore a dark green jumpsuit that had lines of sparkling sequins. The shade of her eyes aligned with the color of her eyes which made her look more stunning. Amelia stood before me and observed my outfit. The short dress I was putting on was high above my knee making me shiver as the night was cold. My curly hair had been

  • Knots & Tie    I Hated This Feeling!

    Honey.My whole body was numb. I tried to move, but it seemed difficult to move any part of my body. Something soft tightened around my head, preventing me from seeing where I was. I raised my hands to my face, in an attempt to remove the blindfold, but my hands were restricted. I tried to make sense of what was happening to me and why I was finding it hard to do something as simple as moving. It was then I realized the situation I was in.I have been kidnapped!The last thing I remembered was that man covering my face with a wet cloth that smelled really nasty and those other two men fastened something thick around my wrists . Now, it made more sense why I couldn’t move my hands.I dragged my heavy body, trying to move so badly. The floor was strangely soft. Furry. It felt like I was laying on the cloud. I might have allowed myself to enjoy the softness and the welcoming warmth of this floor if I wasn’t panicking about being kidnapped, but I couldn’t let down my guard. I needed to le

    My captor didn’t return. I remained in the dark room for what felt like a century before the door opened again. I jolted from my sleep, already at an alert at the intrusion. I didn’t even know when I had slept off. Due to the blindfold, I couldn’t tell if we were still in the night or it was already the next day. How many hours or days must have passed since I had been brought here?I had no idea.The only thought that kept bothering me was that whoever had kidnapped me didn’t have any intention of releasing me. He had come back. I didn’t even know what he wanted to do to me. I turned on the bed. My restrained hands were hurting badly. It was starting to feel sore as I hadn’t been able to move it freely. I groaned in pain as I tried to sit up from the bed. My body ached like it was run over by a car. Maybe I was exaggerating, but you get an idea how I was feeling. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you up,” a soft voice spoke.The voice sounds young and feminine. I sat up quickly, rel

  • Knots & Tie    Where Is He?

    Honey.The next day, I arrived in LA in the evening. I lodged at a hotel and stayed low. I hired an investigator to give me an update about Lorenzo before making my move. Luckily, I knew the ins and outs of the mansion Lorenzo was currently occupying. I was going to sneak in and get any information I needed on finding my son. Wearing the same leather jacket and black pants, I blended well smong the men who were standing guard at the mansion so it was easier to move around the house without raising suspicion. I climbed the stairs and went to his room at the far side of the hallway, my heart pounding as I opened the door leading to his bedroom. I hurriedly went through his documents and belongings. Nothing. Not a single thing gave me a link to my son’s disappearance. I was still browsing through his system when I heard the door click.I froze, my hand passing above his laptop. Lorenzo wasn’t meant to be back so soon. The investigator I had hired told me he had traveled to Sicily for a

  • Knots & Tie    Leo Is Missing.

    Honey. I got into my car and drove to my workplace. In the afternoon, I went to pick Leo from school and met his teacher sitting by a desk, checking some notes. “I’m sorry I’m late,” I said, looking around the almost empty classroom. “Where is Leo?” The teacher dropped her book, looking confused. “His father came to pick him not quite long.” His father? The whole room closed up on me and my heart sprinted. I dragged air into my lungs, trying to calm myself down. I must have misheard what the teacher had said. “I need to see my son. Where is he?” I asked again, my voice sharp. The teacher stood up, her face almost mirroring mine. Confused and bothered. “I don’t understand…” she pointed at the exit of the classroom. “A man came earlier and told me he was Leo’s father. He said–“ My face hardened. “How can you let a stranger take him without seeking my consent?” The teacher froze, her face pale. “I… I thought he was his father.” “No, he is not!” She touched her chest, looking

  • Knots & Tie    Part Three: Shackles & Chain

    Honey.Five Years Later.“Mommy, where is Dad?” My four year old son, Leo, asked, looking at me with his bright gray eyes. He had Lorenzo’s eyes. Even looked like him. Just that he was darker in complexion and had very full curly black hair unlike Lorenzo who had fair skin and straight raven hair. “I don’t know,” I said honestly. I still haven't forgiven myself for leaving Lorenzo without saying goodbye. Especially since he saved me. And his son.“But you are meant to know,” Leo sat on his ornate bed, hugging his brown teddy bear close to his chest. Just like his father, he doesn’t take no for an answer. “All my friends at school know where their father is. I want to know where mine is too.”I rubbed my head, feeling a headache coming up. We had been staying in Australia for the last five years and I had successfully opened a record label. I had an upcoming event which was stressing me out. Leo was adding to the stress by insisting on knowing where Lorenzo was. Yes, I know. Every

  • Knots & Tie    Leaving Everything Behind

    Honey. Lorenzo’s men approached us and raised him from me. They hauled him into a black sedan, tires screeching as they sped off. Others chased after Carlo. Lorenzo was immediately taken to the hospital and attended to upon arrival. His men waited with me outside the OR. I paced around the narrow hallway, both shocked and worried that Lorenzo had saved me. Just a night before, he had threatened to kill me so why did he save me? Why? The question spun in my head until the world tilted. My knees buckled, and the cold tiles rushed up to meet me. I collapsed by the OR doors, darkness swallowing me whole.The moment I woke, I found myself in a ward, wearing a blue hospital gown and lying in a bed. I sat up, looking around in confusion. How long had I passed out and why? I must have fainted because of all the anxiety and pressure I was under. I brushed aside the bedsheet and got down from the bed. Something stung my wrist, tugging tightly. I looked down at it, surprised to see an IV fluid

    Honey.“No, it can’t be true,” I shook my head, denying the truth. “Michael brought me to you, he told me he found out that you were kidnapped.”Desola sighed. “How did you think he was able to find me?” Desola was right. How had I not thought about it?I was about to say something when I heard gunshots. Shit! They had been caught! I grabbed Desola’s hand, running.“What’s going on?” Desola asked, watching in confusion as people ran out of the hall in panic when they heard the gunshots. “There is no time to explain, we need to leave now,” I ran into a corner which looked like a private pool area. Dead end.I cursed under my breath. If only I had paid attention when Daniyi gave me the tour—where was the damn exit?We pivoted back, running along with the crowd and managed to get out of the building. Outside, chaos reigned. Michael's men were everywhere, trying to escape as they shot at the security guards. Stray bullets sprayed around, some hitting the party guests. I gripped Desola’

    Honey.Soon, it was time to go to Daniyi’s mansion for his weekend party. I wore a red sparkling gown that accentuated my curves. Michael followed me to the party as my plus one. This actually worked in his flavour as it gave him an easy access Dainiyi’s mansion before he carried out the heist.When we got to Daniyi’s mansion, we were led to the grand living room, away from where the party was going on. It turned out Amir Daniyi wanted to see me before taking me to the party. The living room was quiet and one of the mansion staff had directed us to have our seats while waiting for him. Although I had been to a lot of mansions, his house topped it off. One could get lost in the mansion without ever finding their way back. Yeah, that was how broad it was.“Finally, the star for tonight has arrived!” Daniyi said with a broad smile as he walked out of an opened lift at the left side of the grand living room. He wore a designated black Thobe and his hair was covered with a black and white

    20: Now Shoot.Honey.Seeing how scared I was, Michael stepped forward, narrowing his eyes down at Lorenzo. “I think you should leave now,” he said with a serious tone. Lorenzo smirked. He stood up and looked at me. “Don’t think he can save you.”A chill ran down my spine at his words. When Lorenzo walked out of the event hall, Michael looked at me. “What was that about?” I didn’t know if it was good to add Michael to what was happening so I decided not to fill him in on the details. “It is nothing,” I lied. Michael didn’t look convinced, but he didn’t force me to say the truth. Soon, the event hall got filled. People sat at different tables, enjoying the activities of the event. When it came for the announcement of the winner of the All Star Award,my breath was in my throat as I knew they were going to call my name. I watched as the Host slowly opened the card he was holding which contained the name of the winner for the event. “Ladies and gentlemen, the winner for the award Sta

    Honey.Tonight was the night of the All Star Award ceremony. Given how famous I became in a few months, an entertainment company came to film my preparation for the night event. I tried my best to look relaxed and excited for the show while being filmed, but the truth was that I wasn’t in any way relaxed. Tonight was the night everything will set in place. Michael had done all this so I would be able to get him easy access to the painting in Daniyi’s private museum, but what if I got caught?I didn’t even want to think about it. Michael walked into the dressing room after I had gotten dressed and was fully prepared for the show. He had designed the dressing room for me when he heard I was going to be filmed while preparing for the Award ceremony. While still checking myself out in the window, he came close and leaned close to me. “Do you remember everything I told you?”I became tense. I knew what he was asking about. He had told me to act like I wasn't certain I was going to win

I knew Honey was a slut, but I didn’t expect that bitch to throw herself to another man that easily after being taken away from me. You could have imagined my annoyance when I had gone to rescue her only to see another man's love bite on her neck. She didn’t even try to hide it, she was flaunting it like a fucking whore. I clenched my hands, watching her on my television in my living room. She was being filmed as she prepared for a late night award show. The All Star Award.
